Should I upgrade my daily driver? Come along on my daily commute to work and let's talk about the 2010 Ford Ranger 4 cylinder 5 speed manual XL regular cab truck with the 2.3L. This is my daily driver. I spend 3-4 hours per work day in the vehicle during my 165 mile commute. We will test the MPG fuel economy on my daily commute, and talk about things I like and dislike about this vehicle after almost 40,000 miles of use. #fordranger #toyotavenza #rav4 #businessman #corporate
