I had a '92 Ranger and a '99. Both 4wd's. '92 was stick, '99 was auto. Both V6's. '92 had 4.10 rear gear, '99 had (IIRC) 3.23 (???)
'92 would get 20 to 22 mpg on hwy, around 15 city.
'99 would get 15 no matter where or how it was driven.
NEITHER were worth a hoot when it came to hauling.
Got an '04 Dodge 2500 hemi/auto/4wd and an '04 Dodge diesel equipped virtually the same way. Both get very near the same milage as the Rangers (when empty) and will haul more weight than a half dozen Rangers when I need that.
Rangers were 100,000 miles and throw in the trash trucks. Both Dodges are well past 200,000 and still in fine shape.
IMHO, there's more to the big picture than just gas milage.
Check rear end gearing in your Ranger and see what you have. Word of caution though...high gearing (low numerical) will help somewhat with highway milage in no load conditions, but will kill milage in loaded and/or stop and go driving, especially with marginal engine power.
