2010 Truck Gas Mileage Estimates
Compare the EPA's gas mileage estimates for 2010 pickup trucks. Don't depend on the numbers for a projection of the mileage you'll actually experience when you drive a truck, but use the rankings as a guide to which pickups in each category might perform best.
It's a mid-size truck, but the Sport Trac's fuel mileage estimates are closer to (and sometimes lower than) the stats you'll see when you look at full-size vehicles. Ford's new EcoBoost engine will hopefully improve Sport Trac's fuel economy.More »
1. 2010 Chevy Colorado Trucks

Fuel economy ratings for Dodge Ram trucks are somewhat lower than you'll find when you check the ratings of its competition. The Hemi equipped Ram figures in to stats at 13 city / 18 highway.More »10. 2010 Dodge Dakota Trucks
