Even with the V6, the fuel economy hovers around 22MPG with mixed city/highway driving. A lot cheaper to refuel than a full size.

4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
I thought the fuel economy, for a truck, was excellent. It gets 5mpg better than a Honda Ridgeline.

The 4 cyl specifically for a truck is great. According to my computerized Scanguage I am getting a consistent 21-25 mpg per tank with all around driving and commuting. 21 gallong tank.

23 mpg on the highway at 55 mph. This is vs. the 1993 toyata truck which regularly got 30+ mpg.
