Seriously, and realistically, why does a highschool senior need a truck ?
If you do - for whatever valid reason rather than the usual bogus reasoning I see mentioned for desperately wanting a truck - why would you need to drive the same truck to school everyday
There are far better suited vehicles for that.
You can get one on the truck's fuel budget with that lousy mileage.
You can dump money, time and effort into the truck, and it will likely get a bit better, but it won't ever return
good mileage.
A similar vintage hatchback with manual shift will easily get you up to 40 mpg - and beyond - cutting your fuel use by 75% or better.
