That would mean about 2200 gal. of fuel before you break even. That would mean 30-35 thousand miles to offset the purchase price. I think that will be a hard sell.

35,000 miles is two to three years of driving for the average driver. I don't see that as an unreasonable break even point.
They are still only offering an automatic. I will hold out for the eventual manual shift.

That's a great price on a good basic truck...
When my son totaled his car 2 summers ago, I was able to get him into a 2006 F150 base truck for 10,500...
That truck only had 28K miles on it and he loves it...
You ain't gonna do a lot of heavy towing with it, but with the 6 cylinder engine it gets real good mileage...

What I want to know is why can you buy a brand new Ford Ranger 4x4 cheaper than a POLARIS Ranger 4x4!

Don't hold your breath...I don't think a manual is even be available in any 1/2 ton truck in 2010. Ford had one available with the V-6, but the V-6 is now history. If it is, it won't be for long...Even among the big diesel p/u trucks only Dodge now offers a manual transmission.
