That said, when I can get better truck mileage out of full size V8, there's something wrong with a compact getting this kind of mileage.

The Ranger is not aerodynamic is a bit underpowered even with the 4.0 to achieve good mileage. It is what it is, I didn't buy my Ranger because I thought I'd get good fuel economy, I bought it cause I didn't want a full sive and I loved the Ranger period.
Do you have 4.10 gears? If so, that will knock you down a bit.

So, I was expecting newer truck with a five speed auto? It was my expectation to at least do as well as I did with my '94.

Automatic trans will generally do worse in fuel economy than a manual trans. Your 94 regular cab was probably lighter and a OHV engine can perform very efficiently compared to newer tech.
