Finally, I need it cheap.
So:
1. Can tow 2640lbs + stuff inside comfortably
2. Can get decent MPG when not towing
3. Is reliable
4. Is Cheap
Seems like an impossible list, but since I don't need to find the truck attractive, I've realized I do have what seems like a pretty good candidate:
A late 90's -> early 2000's Ford Ranger / Mazda B 4000 (4.0L with towing package).
These trucks were never known for good fuel economy.
If the trailer tow factory option did NOT come with an auxiliary transmission cooler, add on. While you are doing that, replace the ATF with the factory specified fluid.
