Something I became aware of this week. My 07 has 18,000 miles. 4wd and 4.0 XLT. I have always got 19 mpg on the hi-way and about 13-14 in town. I recently put a tool box in the bed made for the Ranger. With the last 2 tanks of gas, about 17 gals each, my mileage was a flat 21.
Wonder if the box catches and deflects the wind over the tailgate instead of slamming against the tailgate like a wind sail??
Anyone else notice an increase ,too?
