Hopefully no one minds if I bump up an old thread. Can't shut up about cars & trucks.
Here's my 2009 Ford Ranger XL. I have a tendency to go for bare bones vehicles, and this fits the bill: RWD, 4-cylinder, manual transmission (though it DOES have A/C). A $4000 rebate from Ford helped me to say "Yes please!"
It's hard to argue against a truck that has been getting just under 30 mpg in the year I've owned it; in fact, I filled it up today and calculated my MPG at 33.4. Plus, they've been building it FOREVER, so it probably won't be breaking down anytime soon.
