A 5.3L with AFM on a 6-speed will turn some pretty good fuel economy numbers for a truck.
My long time friend has a 4 cylinder 2.7L toyota truck with a 5-speed. He has 170hp and gets 22 to 24 mpg highway.
Its good until he trys to tow something.
Loading the bed of his truck with fire wood and putting my 4x8 heavy duty utilty trailer loaded with wood behind his truck turns it into a turd.
His toyota is the best all around small truck I have ever seen. It just does bad towing, on and off road its great.
