I have an '09 with the 2.7l engine and 5 speed, 4 X 4. It is the extended cab (access cab). It replaced a '99 S10, v6, 2 wd and it is not as peppy as the old s10, but it is adequate. There are times when I miss the old v6 though. I drive about 50 miles per day. About half of that is highway 60-70 mph. The other is city with some stop and go. I consistently get 22 mpg. That is about 1 mpg better than the v6 2wd s10 under the same conditions.
