| 2007 | 4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 210-horsepower 3.7L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
HORRIBLE. EPA rated for 17city 20hwy but due to transmission problem, I doubt I exceeded 20mpg on most occasions. |
| 2005 | 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 210-horsepower 3.7L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
9 to 15 mpg for a V-6 |
