4X4 Rangers: What size lift/tires and MPG do you get?!?
I'm studying on lifts/tire sizes and MPG each 4x4 Ranger gets.
I have a 85 Ford Ranger 4x4 (2.3FI,5SPD MANUAL) and was wanting to get a lift....but I am looking to keep round 20mpg highway if possible (though people say it won't).
So I am asking anyone who has a 4x4 Rangers with lift and bigger tires what MPG do you get? Any yr, any engine, any transmission....

If you plan on goin up more than 2 sizes in tires a new gears front and rear will be in order. A lot of these guys running 35's need to re gear if they haven't.

2007 Mazda B4000 SE 4x4. 5R55E Automatic, 4.10 Limited Slip, 4.0 V6, no lift, 265/75R16 Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo Tires:
16 mpg highway cruising at 70 mph
18 mpg highway cruising at 65 mph
19 mpg highway cruising at 60 mph
20 mpg highway cruising at 55 mph
21 mpg highway cruising at 52 mph (this is my peak...mileage is all downhill from here up)
Truck is custom tuned for premium fuel and is setup to not downshift on uphill unless 75% throttle applied...this minimizes gear hunting on hills. The truck is perfectly capable of going uphill without downshifting in 5th gear...they just have it programmed factory for quick, imho grossly premature downshifts
