...I don't snicker!!....to be honest...I don't think I've seen a 2 wheel drive Ranger!!???
Here in the Midwest mostly the only 2wd Rangers you see are fleet vehicles. You'll occasionally see one that's 2wd and not a business truck but they are rare. But there are TONS of fleet Rangers around here.

They probably don't sell many 2 wheel drive trucks at all in Canada, do they?
My 2019 Ranger was 2WD.
Not in my neck of the woods....we're in the central interior of British Columbia....middle of the mountains!??

I've heard they flat out don't offer 2wd up there.

I have a.....wait for it.....2WD Lariat SuperCab !!!! The rarest of the rare !!!! All the bells n whistles !!!! With an Engine Cover and Hood Struts !!!
A true collectors truck, and has only appreciated in value....right now I estimate the value as approaching $100,000.00, and sure to go up up up !!!
At $150,000.00 it will go to Barrett-Jackson !!!

Last mpg check was last week, 625 miles towing our travel trailer, interstate, Va to NC and back, 60-65 mph, up and down grades and mountains, 90-95 degree temps, ac on 100 % of the time, in tow mode only....average was 10.6 mpg.
This was from my ScanGauge lll which posts actual mpg at time....mpg obviously goes way down under throttle, but when going down a grade, and you let off the throttle, obviously mpg's go way way up. I've seen it go as low as 3-4 mpg when traversing a long mountain grade, and going down it will sometimes read 9999.9 mpg .
Obviously I try to go down hill as much as possible !!!

I'm in northeastern NY, 2021 Scab, Lariat 4x4. During warm weather I'm getting 25, 26 if I miss the big hills. Don't get behind me though because I'll piss you off. Retired now and drive mostly back roads at moderate speeds. As they say, 40 is the new 60. Even on the interstate I set cruise to 63 or so. Rarely need to get anywhere quickly and never had the speed gene, even when younger.

I could be wrong on this...but when the Ranger returned to North America in 2019...all the Canadian models were 4x4 only and I think I remember hearing the USA models were 2x4 only!??....I would say 90% of people looking to get any sort of truck usually go for 4x4!??

My dash is normally showing 26-27 MPG, but I have yet to actually achieve either number.

Damn! I like that average price/fill up much better than where I am. $25 more just now on a fill up ($83.26 @ $4.78/gal). Ugh

14.81 mpg this week with quite a bit of hwy. (Computer thinking I have 32" still on stated 16.2mpg, usually the computer at 32" tires is closer than this though after I do the 33" math)

250 miles when the light came on to gas up. Roughly 180 miles were freeway without any real traffic. I would keep with the flow which means 70-80mph. My hwy mpg has been again between 20-22mpg so it is the street driving and remote starts really dinging it.

Yes 1" level in the front and 285/70/17 (so 33" diameter). I honestly don't complain, it is a truck. Maybe I can baby the acceleration more but whatever. Thankfully I can afford the gas lol

With the extra weight around 600 to 800 lbs and larger heavier KO2 33” tires I average around 15 to 16 in normal driving with a lot of offroading. Driving from CA to WI fully loaded pulling a 8 foot U Haul trailer I got close to 18 for the whole trip. Pretty good mileage for what I use the truck for.
You cannot buy a truck and use it has a truck and worry about low MPG.

Those are good numbers! I was more curious as to real world #'s vs the computer! Was actually pretty close!! That being said...if gas consumption was an issue....we would NOT have bought a pick-up!!??
