Poor vehicle review, no F.E. numbers given at all!

How is a consumer supposed to decide if this is the vehicle that fits their needs?

WW, you have found your namesake!

That's easy. That rig weighs about the same as my expediter with a 5k on it. 7 mpg city/9 hwy, let's say 8 mpg combined.

Sadly, I had a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited, full time 4wd that got pretty close to that!
