The 4 cylinder can be sluggish, but all mini-trucks used to be 4 cylinders..they've all just grown. Today, the Ranger is the only minitruck on the road while all the other small trucks are now mid sized. I had a 06 Frontier V6 and the gas mileage hovered around 16mpg. It was the reason I got rid of it.

They also got the Mazda B-series truck which is essentially a stripped down rebadged Ranger, they also have the Chevy Colorado which is a little bit bigger but has an oversized 2.9L four cylinder rated at 185hp...kinda pointless if you ask me, they go even more overboard with an I-5 engine thats the size of most large V-6's...they could cease to use these huge ass engines if they used smaller engines with turbos but hey....americans love big gas guzzling engines
