Hey guys and gals, maybe I'm dreaming. I'm thinking about upgrading my beater truck and getting rid of the old Outback, too. It would be cool to have one daily driver to maintain and insure (plus the motorcycle).
I want to buy a 2010 or newer used pickup: mid- or full-size, 4 doors & back seat, 4WD, auto, and decent power (V8 or big 6 to tow a boat locally sometimes – I live on a hill).
Here's the dreaming part…
I certainly don't expect Subaru type gas mileage, but I might as well just keep my 1993 V8 pickup if I can't do much better than 10-12 mpg highway (that's without the boat, I expect dismal when I'm towing).
Just hoping to gather some useful info here. If you don't mind, I'd appreciate some honest feedback on what sort of mpg you're getting in your 4WD, 4-door rigs if you can be specific (brand, engine, city/hwy, actual mpg). Warnings about lemons help too! Thanks in advance.
