15 miles to the gallon with a 4 banger???

[Andrew in AA]

1998 Ranger 2.4 liter / 5 speed extended cab gets 20 -22 mpg with stock lift / tires.

4.0 with 3.08s and 195/75-R14s. Worst tank ever, city driving in the dead of winter was 14 MPG. Best tank ever was a road trip on state highways doing 65 in the summer, got a solid 24 MPG for 400 miles. I average 19 city, 22 highway. But that's all on stock size tires, I'm sure I'd suffer if I went up in tire size without re-gearing.

id prolly re-gear anyways. no offence but 3.08 is a stupid gear ratio for a truck haha

I was thinking the same thing. My next set of Km2s will be 33x10.50s as They have a higher load carring capacity & are about 14lbs lighter then the 33x12.50

 

[Heavyfire14]

well lemmie know how that goes cause 33x10.50s might be next when im done with these
