These fuel-efficient rigs get the job done and go farther between fill-ups.
Fuel efficiency might not be the first factor most truck buyers consider when shopping, but it’s still important. Whether you frequent job sites, pick up the kids, run errands, or do all of the above, a more efficient truck allows you to do more of it between fill-ups. Thankfully, automakers have introduced far more efficient hybrid andhave emerged in the marketplace over the past couple of years, offering a wider range of options for smaller budgets.
Under its hood is a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that pushes out 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, which is good enough to tow up to 5,000 pounds. The stout V-6 is efficient, as well, earning up to 21 mpg in mixed driving situations, according to the EPA. And that's with all-wheel drive, which is standard across the Ridgeline lineup. One note: Theis America’s best-selling vehicle and Ford is wise to not mess with a good thing.
Sure, the decent-sized truck bed is good for hauling small furniture, there’s an in-bed storage compartment to store things securely, and you’ll enjoy plenty of crafty in-cabin storage solutions. Additionally, under the truck’s hood is either a turbocharged or naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. The former gives you more power , while the latter gives you more fuel efficiency, if only just.
