Gas mileage...1986 Xtra Cab long bed
(I accidentally posted this in the 84-85 Truck forum, this is a duplicate...sorry about that)
I'm looking at a 1986 2WD Xtra Cab, 5 speed, long bed, to buy, and wondering if it gets worse gas mileage than my 1984 2WD long bed, 5 speed (no Xtra Cab). At best I've been getting 24-26 mph. The person selling the 1986 thinks they get 20-24 mpg but doesn't keep track of it, so it's a guess. Looking at the Wikipedia entry, the 3rd Generation (83-88) are listed as having a curb weight of 2800 lbs, and it looks like all models (short, long bed, xtra cab) have the same weight. I don't know if that's correct, but I'm trying to find out if this Xtra Cab long bed would have much worse gas milleage than the non xtra cab long beds like my 1984.
