well im looking at buying a new ranger since mine is a 1988 but im only in high school and im buying it myself but my parents will probably help with payments. first of all im keeping my 88 for mudding so my new one will never see mud. and another big issue is MPG! gas is killing my wallet so my big choice here is do i go with a 2008 4cyl 2wd or a 2008 4.0L ext cab ? they will both be manuals. what MPG diffrence will there be, the sticker for the 2wd is 38mpg highway and the 4wd is 24.5mpg highway is there actually that big of a diffrence? i test drove the 4x4 and loved it because it has the ext cab option and the 4cyl is only reg cab. what are you getting for MPG in your v6 vs the I4 ? im also looking at a 2003 tibburon ( nice car but i dont want a hyundia ) i want to stick with a ford product but i dont no wich one to buy. help me out here please. if you have any advice please tell me. i will be putting on lots of miles and the reg cab might be to small. im 6foot and do any other big guys put on manny miles in these trucks? if so would you recomend buying a regular cab?
