from Santa Rosa,CA to Fresno,CA I got 17 mpg.

I miss my 01 L. Like you, with the tune I could get 17-18 on the highway (on the way to the strip) .

It's too bad Ford didn't invest in the Ranger and update it with the newer engine tech. I could easily see those getting 30 on the highway. But I understand the financial side when they make so much per unit on the F150's and they were getting about the same mileage as the Ranger.

The Tundra is made in Texas with an American made engine and transmission, and 80% of the other components are American made as well, so I rest pretty easy. I was going to get an F150 when I bought the Tundra, but the dealer wasnt moving on the price.

I like trucks in general, any pickup truck is good with me.

Dad has a gen one tundra with the 4.7 and it's good on gas but lacks in power.

I have a sonic blue 03 with a 3lb lower and a amazon tune. I'm looking at getting a 97 7.3 diesel in the very near future.
