Used Pickup Trucks with Best MPG
If you’re looking for used pickup trucks with the best MPG, you’ve come to the right place. The EAG Ford Jacksonville team has a list to get you started.
When you think of pickup trucks, fuel efficiency is not usually the first thing that comes to mind. But you can find trucks that offer fuel efficiency along with the capability you expect in a truck. Here are some used pickups that offer the best MPG.
Ford F-150 Diesel: An Efficiency Surprise
Ford F-150 pickup trucks are some of the most popular trucks on the road and off. They have features that appeal to a wide range of drivers, even those who are eco-conscious. You can get the 2018 Ford F-150 with a 3.0-liter turbodiesel Power Stroke engine. This powertrain not only gets an impressive 250 horsepower and develops 440 pound-feet of torque, but it will also get up to 30 MPG on the highway and 22 MPG in the city when equipped with rear-wheel drive and the SuperCab.
The Small Ford Ranger Delivers Big on Fuel Efficiency
It’s not a surprise that small trucks offer better fuel efficiency than large heavy-duty trucks, but the Ranger impresses even for a small truck. It comes with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that generates 270 horsepower and gets 310 pound-feet of torque. If you have two-wheel drive, it can get up to 21 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway, and the 4×4 will get 20 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway. The reason this truck can achieve such good gas mileage? The engine automatically shuts down when it’s idling, so it doesn’t use gas when it doesn’t need to.
The Multi-Talented Chevrolet Colorado
When you need a truck that can tackle rough jobs on the worksite, take you over rough trails on the weekends, and then provide a comfortable commute to work, the Chevy Colorado will get it all done. You can get this used pickup truck with a 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine. It will get up to 30 MPG on the highway with the rear-wheel drive system and up to 28 MPG on the highway with four-wheel drive.
Dodge Ram 1500 Power and Performance
The Ram 1500 is one of the more efficient full-size trucks when equipped with the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine. This powertrain delivers best-in-class fuel economy, actually with 21 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. It offers active grill shutters and a stop-start function that turns the engine off when sitting at a stop light or when idling. Gas-powered Ram 1500s have slightly higher numbers, but they are still competitive. If you take the Ram 1500 with the 3.6-liter V-6 on the highway it can get up to 20 MPG.
