Ford Ranger: 2010’s Most Fuel Efficient Truck

Americans love their trucks, that is something no one can deny. Some people may prefer the luxury you find from a vehicle at Mercedes-Benz Pittsburgh, but there is something unique and almost nostalgic about a big truck. Americans are also trying to be more green and this year the two most fuel efficient trucks were compact versions. Third place was a tie between two hybrid models! Consumers can probably expect to see an increasing variety of full size hybrid trucks to choose from. You might be able to find these 2010 models from Cincinnati Used Cars or visit the dealer for some great end of the year pricing. VW Peoria offers some great hybrid and diesel cars, vans, and crossovers, but no trucks.

The most fuel efficient truck of 2010 is the Ford Ranger! This honor only applies to the 2.3 liter four cylinder engine, but still, that is some pretty impressive fuel economy ratings. If drivers opt for the more powerful V6 engine then they might want to upgrade to the Ford F-150 because you are going to get about the same fuel economy as a F-150 with a V8 engine! Both models get an anticipated 15 mpg around town and 21 mpg on the highway.

Second on the list was another compact truck, the Toyota Tacoma. Buyers might be drawn away from the Ford Ranger because the Tacoma still gives you 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway but has a lower price by a few thousand dollars. Depending on how long someone plans on keeping their truck will be a big deciding factor as to which compact truck they choose.

The 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac came in at 6th place on the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of fuel efficient trucks. With fuel estimations of 15 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway, the convenience and versatility of the V6 Sport Trac makes it popular among young families who need a roomy backseat and towing capabilities.

The Ford Explorer Sport Trac has done quite a bit for Cincinnati Ford and Cincinnati used cars as well as consumers all over the nation with its SUV and truck dual capabilities.

Now thanks to the truck hauling and towing capabilities as well as the comfortable interior-seating you can get work done, and keep your passengers happy.

How does this makeshift truck and SUV make people so happy?

It gives the driver and passenger a quiet, smooth ride as well as accentuates the versatile SUV and pick-up truck capabilities. Not to mention the truck-bed that has a lockable, water-tight bed cover, as well as an in-bed storage compartment.

After all of those great features who WOULDN’T want an SUT like the Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

But wait–before you get ready to call your nearest dealer about one there are some unfortunate flaws about the Ford Explorer Sport Trac that seem important enough to be known. Such as, the similar price tag it shares with the Honda Ridgeline and Chevy Avalanche, which have both been known to be at about the same par level that the Ford Explorer Sport Trac is at. Even more so, the exterior design that people have said to either love or hate.

For the decision between the companies, the vehicle, and the right SUT, we will leave that to you, but there’s still nothing stopping you from going and taking one out for a test-drive!
