Riding in full view along with Tinseltown's hottest districts, these jet-set celebrities on board their highly-modified er, pickup-trucks, are making every bit their presence known but also ensuring that they kind of leaves a stamp of impression; of somewhat of a bravura statement.

But like a black hole, nothing substantial, and thus far, however trivial, escapes from the center of the public's mostly consumptive awareness because they know all too well what those sweeping gestures imply as a train of thought goes something like, “What on Earth are these people doing riding about town on their rad-ass (pardon the expression) pick-up trucks?

Quite frankly, we're about to ask the same thing but those kindred folks out there had beaten us to it.

Regardless, there were several significant explanations given behind America's quintessential fascination for Goliath-sized er, pick-up trucks. But most of these reasons border mainly on the geographical, cultural, and justly plain-old practical ones as further explained on Quora.Com.

However, one highly-significant reason, according to FordLouisville.net why pick-up trucks, er, particularly the Ford F-150, continue to sell non-stop like hot tamales in the US mainland was mainly because this truck has the impressive towing and hauling capability than your average SUV. 

What's more, hand in hand with this brute power is the Ford-150's alleged attribute of being largely fuel-efficient, as this best-selling truck continues to evolve to newer and grander heights. 

Otherwise, Ford's claim that every Ford F-150 that is offered for sale to the public had undergone a rigorous 10 million miles of road-testing, would just as well be a rip-off from some other splendid car review, or heck, just doesn't plan to make any sense at all if the said truck was not endowed with a fuel-efficient mill, to begin with, er, right? No? (go figure hah-hah)

Therefore, in the next segment of this article we would settle the matter about Ford pick-up trucks acclaimed fuel efficiency once and for all, as we feature another low-keyed "class act", the behemoth, Ford Ranger; partaking mostly of an in-depth look with regards to its fuel consumption.

FORD RANGER'S FUEL CONSUMPTION

Meanwhile, the rest of the all-wheel-drive models can achieve up to 20 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.

The Tremor trim, on the other hand, gets to cut corners both ways, averaging 19 mpg on the highway and in the city.

Furthermore, three different types of Rangers were put through their paces recently, including a 75-mph highway fuel-economy route. Two of these were crew-cab four-wheel-drive pick-up trucks that had achieved 16 and 15 mpg combined in the city while the third was a rear-wheel-drive pickup truck that boasted a rather, pretty decent 25 mpg on the interstate.

On the other side of the coin, however, a 2.2L XLS 4x2 MT Ford Ranger had somewhat achieved an impossible feat from a previous fuel-economy test run done in 2012.

According to CarGuide.ph, the said pick-up truck had averaged an incredible 19.44 Km after traveling 1,623 kilometers bearing just a single tank of fuel. (wow)

The said DOE-sponsored fuel-economy test run; in conjunction with Ford Philippines, had covered three city-municipalities in the Philippines with Manila as the start-of point, leading to Subic, Clark, and on to Tarlac city. 

Moreover, the said test run was duly performed at moderate speeds between 40-80 kph. 

But a recent startling development, however, was making somewhat frantic rounds, especially on most established Aussie-based social media websites today concerning an unconfirmed data “leak” regarding the almost unbelievable “14.5 km/l” fuel consumption figure of the upcoming 2023 Ford Ranger. (whaa..whaat Georgy, say that again?)

That's right, a mere glimpse of the surprisingly nerve-wracking leak-spill about the said (attention-getting) fuel rating down below (2023 Ford Ranger) would surely knock your brains out (hah-hah) but if ever your head doesn't shake in total disbelief with the news, then we just have to darn wonder what else will?
