Im on the fence with what cab for what purposes.. But 3.0L...? Nahhhhhh thanks.
What?!? You wouldn't like to experience the blistering performance of the 3.0? My Ranger can do the quarter mile in about 20 seconds at 70ish mph.
Uhhhh... no lol
BTW: I had to gas up today. All city driving and it was 19.1 mpg. My neighbor across the street has an 05 extended cab with a 4.0 and 373 gears and gets 15 in town and 19 on the road.
Given the choice I would have preferred the 4.0 for the extra power or the 4 banger for the fuel mileage over the 3.slo engine. If the 3.0 dies on me I see a different power plant getting shoehorned into the engine compartment.
I've not driven enough the last year so much to have to fill up the tank every week now. But I can recall the best MPG I got out of my truck in a single tank was 21.6 or so MPG on a 93' OHV 4.0L, 3.73 gears. Combined of course. And I've got into the 20's many a time but that 21+ must have been at a time when all things were perfect. Tune, gas, temp, speed, weight, Moon and stars aligned, X wife wasnt bitching at me.. all of that. lmao
