Access cab 6 foot bed pickup with 4x4 suspension and tires.
Curb weight is actual by scale with full gas tank and loaded for traveling( rubber mat, tool bag, light, cargo straps, rope, etc stuff).
4x4 suspension, larger tires, higher weight, and different gearing hurts mpg even though epa says same mpg for base and prerunner models.
