I am looking to buy a vehicle that suits a few needs... kayaks... bikes on racks (not at the same time but maybe) and/or surfboards. One capable of hypermiling of 30 or more mpg... Think I can pull that off in a 4 banger Ranger with a standard top? Or perhaps fabricate one like yours and of course only carry the toys occasionally.I also looked at Saturn and Ford focus wagons. Any input is greatly appreciated... I just thought a Ranger would have more tordue and be able to run at lower rpm's?
