Not long ago, I ended up with a rental car of a newer Nissan Frontier pickup, automatic 4.0L V6 (rental car company screwed up). On my short trip, despite my efforts, I only got just over 18MPG. I couldn't believe it... 55MPH and plenty of neutral gliding where I could and that's all I could muster out of it?!
Telling a few people who think I'm crazy to hypermile said "That's about the best I've ever gotten!" out of their similar trucks, including a friend with a Dakota like yours ... I don't believe I will ever find myself owning a large truck... or a large engine of any sort like this.
