actually, first new vehicle and it only took me till I was 50 to do it...and a little prompting from my wife. It's a 2007 Ranger XLT, std.cab, long bed, 2.3 with a 5-speed. Vista blue, sliding rear window, a/c, cruise, hd suspension and larger battery. Basic transportation, 24-27 mpg around town,28 or so highway. I did manage an almost 30 mpg with in city/country highway driving w/o using OD. Thanks for the site and letting me be the first to post here! Bob
