If you, your friends or family have been in an accident anywhere in the U.S., call Scott O'Sullivan first at (866) 956-2905, or visit ( osullivan-law-firm.com/tfl )!
( www.allTFL.com ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our TFLstudios content, from news to videos and our podcasts! The midsize truck madness continues as we test not one, not two, but all six midsize trucks currently available on the U.S. market (with the Chevy Colorado also representing its GMC Canyon twin) on the Denver 100 MPG loop. In this test, Andre and Nathan run the Nissan Frontier Pro-4X Hardbody Edition, Honda Ridgeline TrailSport, Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road, Chevy Colorado Trail Boss, Ford Ranger FX4 and Jeep Gladiator Mojave on the loop around Denver to Boulder, Colorado -- over 100 miles -- to figure out which truck is most efficient. The results are surprising!

Ford Ranger with a 6-cylinder diesel engine that is sold in Australia gets 28 MPG (according to Reuban from DMW) on the highway. The blue 2020 Colorado that was V8 swapped by LHT Performance (in Florida) gets 30 MPG on the highway.

@rightwingsafetysquad9872 2 месяца назад

Do y'all use American or British gallons in Australia? Also, diesel needs to get at least 30% better mpg to be worth it. Fuel costs at 20-30% more, maintenance is more expensive, and they cost more up front. Which is why the only diesel Ford sells in America is the 6.7L in the Superduty.

For comparison: I have a 2019 Ranger XLT FX4. Yesterday I drove from Wilmington, NC to Lansing, MI by way of Knoxville, TN. I had my cruise set to 75 except through the mountain pass near the NC/TN border and when truckers thought it was acceptable to use the left lane. I have done this trip a handful of times. Using Shell Premium I get 23.5 mpg. Using Sheetz 89 octane E15 I get 22 mpg. Using anything else I get 21.5 mpg. I wouldn't use E15 regularly, it's not good for the fuel lines, but it's great for the injectors and perfectly fine if you're gonna burn it all immediately.

Pentastar is actually relatively new compared to some of the other engines. Pentastar debuted in 2011. Honda hasn't meaningfully changed their J Series V6 since 1996. The Nissan VQ has been in production since 1994, though it has seen 2 major revisions. The 2.3L Ecoboost is claimed to be a clean sheet in 2015. However, it has a lot of dimensions in common with the Mazda L Series dating back to 2001. There was even a turbocharged L23 in the 2006 Mazdaspeed6 and 2007 Mazdaspeed3. The 2.0L Ecoboost in the Maverick and various other Ford cars is explicitly based on the L Series.

Since this is Colorado, which is at a decent altitude, I wonder if this test doesn’t give the turbo engines an outsized “boost” in mileage advantage that wouldn’t appear at sea level? Or more precisely, your location robs a fair amount power from standard engines. It’d be interesting to compare a similar test with these trucks doing a similar run down in Florida.

@GlennC789 Месяц назад

It shouldn't. Fuel economy does increase with elevation for both NA and turbo engines thanks to the thinner air, but if anything the turbos would need to be on the boost more as a result and be disadvantaged by comparison. I live not far from these guys and drive a lot of the same roads.

My experience with turbo vehicles is they like altitude. Turbo's I've owned did better at altitude in Colorado than they did at home which is around 800 feet vs over a mile high. Also drag decreases with altitude so they have that on their side.

Has way more to do with aerodynamics than power train. Unibody's have less underbody drag. Everything can be tucked up nice and neatly. You start engineering with the drive line/suspension and build the body to suit. Body on frame, you start with the frame and everything else has to be built around the frame.

@TheAnnoyingBoss 2 месяца назад

@plmn93 2 месяца назад

Not really. The other trucks had more aggressive tires and taller true off-road suspensions, as well as heavier and less efficient traditional 4x4 systems riding on body on frame chassis. They will also do quite a bit better than the Honda in city driving, along with offering a lot more low end torque. In my opinion it shows the opposite of what you think it does. The Ridgeline could and should do much better considering what it is.

Opposite for me. Cruise on long trips give me better economy and my Dad too

@calebbearup4282 2 месяца назад

@@MrTonaluv I've found that cruise control can't predict what's coming. For example if there's a level stretch of two miles leading up to a big hill cruise control will keep you right at whatever the speed is set for and then as you hit the hill it'll increase throttle to try and maintain that speed. If it needs to downshift to maintain that speed then that's what it does no matter how many downshifts are required. Whereas I can see miles ahead and can usually tack on 5-10mph without really doing anything to the fuel economy leading up to the hill then slowly bleed off speed going up if needed in order to prevent a downshift. I've gone from Michigan through the Appalachians to the southern coast over a hundred times now so I'm fairly practiced with what's needed in the hills and my last trip with a fully loaded 2003 Yukon XL I averaged 18.7mpg for the full trip using my foot as the throttle control. My wife did the same thing using cruise and averaged 11.2mpg for the same route in the same vehicle with a few hundred pounds less loaded. Obviously it's not going to be apples to apples but still. The fact that cruise can't even come close in a lot of situations causes me to turn it off in most vehicles. Also as an added note. I've taken a few brand new rental cars on routes where the cars cruise control will actually apply brakes on the decent to maintain the set speed. That's a whole other problem

@occckid123 2 месяца назад

@@MrTonaluv that's because you don't work the pedal very well lol. I tried cruise multiple times on the same road with and without cruise.
