    Ford Ranger Gets Top Marks for Fuel Economy

      Bests all other gasoline-powered mid-size pickups in combined rating.

    When the Ford Ranger returns to the US market in a few weeks, the EPA window sticker will be a primary strong selling point.  The EPA estimates for the Ranger have been announced and it beats any other gasoline powered pickup on the market. The two-wheel drive Ranger will have a 21mpg city / 26 highway / 23 combined rating.  That combined rating ties the combined rating of the diesel-powered Chevy Colorado. The 4wd model gets a 20 city / 24 highway / 22 combined rating of which the city and combined rating are the highest in the class.  The Ranger starts around $25,395 and offers only one engine, a 2.3 liter 4-cylinder, that will tow and haul more than the V6 offerings from Nissan, Toyota, and Ford.

    The U.S. mid-size truck market is heating up with Ranger as just the newest entry in the mix.  The 2020 Jeep Gladiator will be arriving next year but has not yet been rated by the EPA.

    • I remember reading she lived in Austin, Tx for a while in the 70s, knew Stevie Ray Vaughan when he was an up and coming guitarist in the local music scene there...a lot of great blues musicians came out of Texas. 
    • I remember Allegiant used to fly in and out of Mesa Gateway Airport instead of Sky Harbor in the Phoenix area.   Never flown them.  I flew Frontier a lot when I lived in Colorado (they were Denver based 20 years ago), flew Southwest a lot then and when I lived in Arizona.  I've flown very little since moving back to Ohio in 2017, doing more road trips than flying.  I like Delta and American.   
    • Allegiant is out of Las Vegas as a headquarters.  They have a weird route system that is good for people who can use those point to point routes.  They also use secondary airports, like Clearwater-St. Pete instead of Tampa.  I've never flown on them nor on Frontier.  I flew on Spirit once and it was fine. My Big 3 rankings are: 1 United 2 Delta - American (tie) American has been coming up with decent domestic one-way fare numbers, so they're up from 3.  I was on MIA-LAX on their big 777-300.  It was a good flight and full.  The cabin crew was all middle-aged guys.  I've never seen that before, especially on a big plane. They gave out those delicious Biscoff cookies.  One of the attendants was a super sassy Black guy.  I later asked him for some more of those cookies.  He told me they didn't have anymore.  Later, I went to the back galley and another Miami-based flight attendant - he seemed like a Cuban guy - looked in a few bins and gave me a couple of those cookies.  The Black guy was showy and hilarious, but obviously not the best he should be for that job.  Whenever I have asked for an extra snack pack or two on ANY airline, they always give them to me!
    • I think it's her blues-y vibe.  That stuff tends to reign in the southeastern quadrant of the U.S.
    • An amazing singer from Australia. She even continued to perform when she was pregnant with her first kid. Love this song.     You say she has a strong southern Twang, I just do not hear it, but listened to a few other songs. Not stuff I would normally listen too, but I still do not hear the southern twang in her voice, more of a mixed NYC voice imho.
