Default New 2010 still on the lot, should I grab it?

Seems like there's a few more V6 4WD Rangers out there than 2WD's although my needs are only 2WD. I've found a new leftover, 2010 Ranger V6 Super Cab XLT w/ Auto trans. Currently driving a regular manual trans Tacoma although need more storage and due to a ankle injury, need a Auto this time around. Is there anyone on the site w/ a 2WD 4 Litre V6? How is the performance? EPA figures are 15/21, is this pretty accurate or can I expect more? As far as ride comfort and seats, how does the Ranger fare? My initial feelings are I like the seating position and the rear doors are great. Is this a pretty durable unit overall?

Thanks and sorry if some of my questions are a bit redundant.

I currently drive a 2011 Ford ranger 4L 2wd manual. The manual is rated slightly better then the Auto (but not by a lot). It would help to know if the truck your looknig has the 4.10 or the 3.55 diff. When it comes to my ranger I average 25 MPG (CND MPGs) and the 4L is almopst legendary in terms of reliability. As for the ride of the ranger, its a little jittery when empty but thats the experience of driving a truck lol. I dont mind the ride of the ranger at all

The Truck has a 3.55 rear differential, I'm not sure on the Canadian/US mileage conversion, I'll have to do some research.

Thanks, Motoretro

I did some calculations and it's looks like your MPG would be equivalent to 20.8 MPG U.S. Is this combination of H/W and City or just H/W? Which rear differential ratio do you have?

Thanks,

Thats mostly city with some mild highway with the AC on, the lowest I have ever had with the truck in -30 degrees Celsius and all city driving was 18 CND MPG. I have the 3.55 Rear.
