4.0L Mileage Estimate

[hr223shooter07]

What kind of mpg do you estimate with a 4x4 Ranger, 5 speed, 4.0L driven pretty lightly, anywheres from 235/75/15 to 31/10.5/15 tires...just an approxamite guess...i know there are a lot of variables but what can I expect...i usually don't drive like I have metal in my feet...

What year is your truck?

 

[j.apps]

my 99 4.0 with 4.10's gets about 13

I had an 03' 4x4 extended cab 2 door, 4.0 SOHC, 5 spd manual, factory size Firestone Destination LT's with open 4.10 diff's. I got 20mpg on secondary roads on a 28 mile round trip for work. I could get 21-22mpg highway as long as I didn't run over 65. 70-75+mpg would drop it back to 20.

Biggest key is shift around 2500rpm or less and easy on the pedal.

i don't have a truck yet...i'm in the process of looking... probably going to be either a 94, 99, or an 01....those have been the majority of what I have been test driving

I have a 98 exploder with 4.0 ohv 5 speed and 3.27 gears.
With 235/75/15 I get 18 when its cold and 20 when its warm.

 

[AllanD]

I have a 4.0 (1993) 5sp in my 1987 Supercab,
I also have 4.10's and run 235/75-15 tires.

I typically get 17-18mpg, but my personal best (in bitter cold temps)
was 22mpg at 65mph on cruise control.

I have a 96 4x4 Automatic Supercab on 30x9.50's with a cab high shell. I have kept track of my mileage for every tank Ive had since I got it a few years ago. My worst mileage ever was 12.82 (pulling trailer full of garbage with tools in back through hilly terrain), My best mileage ever is 20.0 (70% highway following a trailer at 60-65 mpg), my average mpg for 2006 and 2007 was 14.5, I went back to school at the beginning of this year and my average so far this year is 16.7 mpg since my lumberracks have been taken off and I no longer haul a bunch of crap around all day. This amounts to a grand total of $5409.70 spent on gas since May of '06.

I get 15-16 mpg around town. I can improve around town gas mileage by about 0.5 mpg if I take my 350 lb shell off. I can get 18 mpg on the highway if I can keep the speed to near 70 mph, but 75 mph will drop it to 17 mpg. I average 14-14.5 mpg when towing my race car (3,500 lbs tow plus 800 lbs on the bed) at around 70 mph.

 

[Twizzler09]

I've got a '96 4.0L running stock size tires and a 3.08 rear-end.... I average around 14mpg when I'm in town and 19mpg when on the highway for short periods. On really long highway trips it skyrockets from there.. to 22+

ONE time, about 5 months ago, I got 27.5mpg on a 350 mile one-way trip.

 

[CaptainStomp]

I usually get about 15mpg freeway and around 12-13mpg city. Mine's automatic. The best I've ever seen driving carefully was just over 18mpg.

Political Correctness: A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Hahahah
That's awesome.

This is a for any of you stupid bastards, who feel the need to correct someone if they don't refer to you as an Idiot-American. Ahahah

truck specs in sig. 13-18, 16avg

 

[Little Egypt]

When my truck is running correctly (see my problem under misfires) I get ~14-15MPG. It's a 2000 4.0 4x4 with 4.10 differential and 265/75 16 tires. The best I ever got was ~16.5 for about 3 weeks about 1.5 years ago.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have got the 2001 I was looking at. I would rather have the SOHC engine.

Cheers,
