    What made you decide to go with a Ranger over another Tacoma?

    The biggest factor is that I really prefer how the Ranger drives compared to a 3rd Gen Tacoma. I think the Ranger's interior is a little bit nicer too. And supposedly the Ranger's fuel economy is higher though... I'm getting 16/17mpg right now.

    I average 18-19 daily driving 20 miles round trip, on trips its anywhere between 15-22mpg depending on whether its highway or back roads. If you can keep it out of boost on the highway it helps a lot. Cruise Control also just destroys the fuel eco in them.
