2001 Regular Cab Ranger Help
hello everyone, names Alan... new to the forums and needing some of ya'lls help... i am seriously considering buying a 2001 Ford Ranger... i need the truck for gas mileage... i drive around 1000 miles a week and my normal comuter is a 1997 F-150 ext cab 2WD 4.6L truck and i'm getting around 16.5/17.0 MPG... the ranger i am looking at is a 2001 4-cylinder, regular cab, 2WD, auto and the guy says it gets around 24.5/25.0 MPG... it has a 170K on it and needs some body work, but nothing i can't handle myself... what i was wondering is if this is around the correct gas mileage for the Ranger? he said he thought it was a 2.5L motor but wasn't sure... he said he knew it was a DOHC motor... is this a 2.3L or 2.5L? sorry guys, i googled it but keep getting different answers and i figured ya'll could help me on that... any help is appreciated guys!
i'm sure ya'll are wondering about the name as well so i figured i would post this up! :)
few mods... gears, shifter, intake, nitrous kit, exhaust, suspension, and drag radials...

you wouldn't happen to know how bad it would be to change the auto to a manual? round about cost... i have the place to do the swap at...

well, i think it has 4.10's in it now and if you go to a 3.55 you are changing your average highway RPM... pulling hills won't be so easy and it will start downshifting a good bit and will heat the trans up... don't know how big the trans cooler is... i got several sets of 3.55's but there for a 8.8... lol... it will be lowered and have a set of 17" mustang wheels/tires on it prolly a week after i get it... i have to mod everything for some reason.. lol...
