I’ve got a 96 civic LX and I was looking to trade (or trade+cash) for a diesel pickup. The most important thing I’m looking for in the truck would be simplicity and reliability. I’ve been quoted that the 1987 Ford F250 6.9 is like working on an old John Deere which would be great. I [...]

I just bought a nice 2500 Dodge RAM V8 5.9 4X4 96′ rebuilt engine/new tranny. To me It consumes LOTS OF GAS, 14 mpg everywhere and going up hill to the mountains (not towing) maybe 7 mpg. I can’t handle this and It’s not even very powerful (check engine light NOT on). I believe It [...]

I’m looking into getting a Toyota tacoma 4×4 pickup and the difference bet the 4×4 and the 4×2 was almost 5 mpg all around. Do the people who test this have the truck on 4×4 the whole time? Or is it the 4×4 system that’s lowering the mpg, I’m guessing from weight or more gas [...]

I’m 6’5" and I just can’t afford a 6 or 8 cylinder truck or suv that gets 12-16 MPG, but I can’t seem to find a 4 cylinder vehicle that comfortable for me outside of a Ford Ranger pickup truck. I’d buy a 4X4 Ford Ranger in a second if they weren’t so bad on [...]

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4×4 V6 and my mileage per gallon is usually around 13 miles per gallon. What can I do to improve this number? When I purchased the car it was averaging 17 or 18 MPG. Now its averaging 13 (which is completely ridiculous).

I’m 16 and i really want something that i can lift and throw some huge tires on. Is there anything that gets at least a solid 17 mpg that i can do that to?

I am looking to get my first car. I want a 4×4 SUV. What used SUV under about ,000 (give or take) gets the best MPG?

Its pretty simple I need a used truck or SUV that is gets 22 mpg or better on highway 4×4, gas or diesel, inexpensive to repair, torque – happy, and I won’t have to buy a newer car for another 7 years.

I currently drive a gas guzzeling USA made SUV – 127,000K & a bad head gasket. I need to find something ASAP. I found an 03 Land Rover Freelander SE3 with only 62,000 miles on it for ,990 at my local Land Rover/Jaguar dealership. I've always wanted a Land Rover, I am a full time [...]
