Just wanted to post a hello to everyone. I have a new 2011 Ranger XLT SC with the 2.3 and auto trans. Not most powerful combination I know. It is a commuter for my 110 mile daily drive to and from work. I have 3 tanks through and am very happy with the almost 25 mpg I have gotten so far. Came from a 1998 Sierra k2500 4x4 that got 12 at best doing the same trips. I had a 91 Ranger Sport that also had a 2.3l that I bought new way back when. Also had a 1993 Ranger XLT SC 4x4 with the 4.0 and 5 speed manual. Had to have the new body style at the time. Anyways, just wanted to say hey. I'm now ready for the gas to skyrocket now that I have this awesome new truck. Now I have the bug to add things to it and make it mine.
