Fairly recently, I had a 95 Ranger, 4.0/5speed... Given that mine was 2wd(yours is 4wd?), I got some pretty decent mileage... That OHV doesn't like to rev high though, I kept mine under 2000 RPM most of the time... If you landed a 2wd rig, search junkyards for some 3.08 rear gears, you'll turn under 2k RPM at 60mph, and I think the engine can handle it...
