[QUOTE="Duane Foster, post: 1019967, member: 70985"] My '02 4WD, 3.73 gears and 235/70/16 tires, 75,000 miles, gets similar mileage to what Todd listed for his. 19-20 mpg on longer highway trips, and that's without cruise control, which would probably help. Probably 15-18 normal local driving in summer with most trips under 10 miles. Worse in winter. My '01 4WD, 4.10 gears and 255/70/16 tires, won't match the '02 for mpg, or performance for that matter. I've only had it out on the highway once for a 100 mile round trip with a 5x8 trailer load of firewood behind it going out. MPG seemed decent for the round trip, or at least a lot better than it gets locally. Shocks aren't bad to change, especially if you have a box end ratchet, like a Gearwrench, for the top of the rear shocks. I put Sensatracs on the front of my '02, and air shocks on the back last summer. No complaints on either. Really stiffened up the ride over the worn out originals, and that's without going crazy with the air shocks. I put the air shocks on because I pull a 6x12 enclosed trailer short distances several times a week all summer. [/QUOTE]
