Ford F series/silverado/RAM/titan/toyo aren't known for economy. Even the 6 cylinder ones. The smaller trucks, very low 20's MPH maybe. mpgomatic.com You should check mileage before you use the FOS comment, ted. Uh, o wise one......hate to upset you but out of roughly 280 pickup models, nearly half get 20 or 20+ MPG: db.theautochannel.com Give that Cafe Standards for trucks have been 20 MPG until recently, I consider anything over 20 MPG to be good. Going back to the original premise, an increase in pickup sales is good because it suggests contractors are getting back to work. Furthermore, purchasing new pickups which get better MPG than old pickups is good for the environment. Its a win win. ;-) BTW a Prius doesn't really work well for a contractor. S/he needs a place to carry his/her tools and supplies. Just in case you were wondering. Now who is FOS, MD.....I mean jimbo?
