'10 B2300 driver. Why will no one make a real compact pickup instead of a movie theater with a 4 foot box?!?

A gmc sierra 5.3L full sized truck of the same age gets the same fuel economy and is just as reliable

I love Ford rangers but they are surprisingly not as efficient as people think

A 5.3L Sierra is listed as 14 to 18L/100km, my B2300 gets 7 to 8L/100km...

Do you actually get that fuel mileage? I go off roading with a guy who has that truck and his isn't even close, it has a truck topper though and is 4x4

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I filled up 45L yesterday with 550 on my trip odometer. It's the 2wd with the small cab and a cover not a cap.

Oh yeah that's a way smaller truck than I was expecting
