 I drive a mix of heavy freeway and city 
streets, about 70 miles/day, and have 
averaged a very consistent 19.5 MPG in 
this truck..I'm pleasantly surprised 
given the great acceleration with this 
truck.  It has a 5 speed, and 4.10 rear 
end with traction lock.  Overall, I'm 
very happy.  Even the paint job was 
flawless from the factory. I've noticed 
that for 2005 they got rid of the Value 
package.  That's too bad, it was a 
great deal in '04.  You should know 
that the engine has a limiter at about 
95 miles/hour.  In areas where the 
speed limit is 75, and many drivers are 
going 80 to 85, that limit was scary 
the first time I reached it.
