Small 4x4 truck with best fuel economy?

[Hem]

I've spent enough time in Boulder to say that I will never drive an outback....

Okay.

The Crosstrek is the official car of Boulder anyway. Orange.

He drove down the Poudre to get it, but I totes saw the screenshot.

I'd get 17 MPG in my F150 doing that.

Have you considered just lying and claiming ridiculous fuel economy numbers from your diesel? The number of people who will say with a straight face that their 96 Ford 7.3 gets 27 mpg is just ridiculous.

i look forward to the days of buying vehicles and no regard for fuel efficiency.

Definitely part of the “I just moved to Denver” starter kit.

What kind of mileage do the subalose’s get pulling a boat?

 

[Pucky Freak]

I drive a 2004 Ford Ranger 14 mpg

A smaller truck is typically a little cheaper on parts and maintenance compared to full size trucks

 

[rwc101]

My parents' Outback averaged 17-18 mpg when towing my teardrop trailer (about 1,000 lbs).

I think the Ascent is the only one that can tow a boat it's like ~27/21 mpg so what in the teens with a boat?

Plenty of Subarus at fishing access sites. Rafts, drift boats, skiffs, etc - no problem really.

If you want to put a 24 foot center console Whaler on it...

30k for a car that can’t tow a boat

85K for a truck, when you don't actually own a boat

Where are all these 85k trucks?

You could get the Gladiator with an ecodiesel- 22/28/24mpg. But the added fuel cost and cost of the motor itself would get you a fair bit of unleaded. Same for the Colorado with the Duramax, as mentioned earlier. Or just import yourself a diesel Hilux

@HUNT TALK MAN - what say you?

 

[EYJONAS!]

I saw Kendall Ford of Bozo had some F-350s last winter for 127k. List price was 85k.

We ordered 4 pickups last August and doubt we will even see them in 2022.

Apparently where the dudes on the truck price thread live lol

82 Chevy Luv might be just the ticket

With the gas savings, you'll be able to afford the slip.
