Fuel economy isn’t as important to these true truckers as it is to those who would use their pickups as an alternative to cars for everyday city commuting and family hauling, but it is a factor nonetheless.
Those who use pickups as work trucks in their jobs often don’t have other, more fuel-efficient vehicles to drive while away from work, and to them, fuel economy is a real issue.
So while the 2009 F-150, comes with V-8 power, Ford boosted fuel economy by about 8 percent across the entire line, and added special SFE models – that stands for “superior fuel economy” – that have EPA ratings of 21 miles per gallon on the highway.
Whether you’re a Ford, Chevrolet or Dodge fan, at T&B Auto, we’ve got Arkansas’ largest selection of used work trucks, used flatbed trucks, used dump bed trucks, used utility trucks, used box trucks, used cargo vans and used passenger vans.

If you have a four-wheel drive work truck, it’s a helpful option but it isn’t a cure-all for winter driving problems. Here are a couple of tips to help when you drive your work truck on snow or ice. The good news is, if you’re in Arkansas, snow and ice is not a real common problem!
Drive on Matching Tires
When you purchase a used work truck, be sure to kick the tires—and make sure the tires are the same size. Tires that differ in circumference can create handling problems and possible damage to the driveline (all the time, not just in snow). Make sure your work truck is properly equipped to handle all types of road conditions.
Slow Down for Curves
If your work truck is in a four wheel drive and you try to take a curve too fast on snowy roads, the truck’s front wheels can corkscrew, causing your work truck to go straight instead of turning. Just let up on the gas to correct the problem.

Use the Right Kind of Gas
Read your owner’s manual to find out which type of gas the manufacturer recommends for your vehicle. Use a good brand of gas, one with detergent additives that keep the system clean, but don’t buy more expensive premium if the automaker recommends regular.
Maybe you recently purchased a used work truck and the owner’s manual isn’t available. You can always find information on the internet about your used work truck and how to maintain the best service and what kind of gas to use.

Chevrolet Silverado is a versatile work truck that can haul and tow with ease, but can be configured with many of the same comfort features typically found in a luxury car.
Silverado’s suspension allows the truck to handle the heavy loads of a work truck without giving up ride comfort. GM’s recent focus has been on its hybrid Silverado and Sierra trucks, so the traditional models haven’t changed significantly since their last makeover in 2006.
What type of used vehicles do you purchase? If you need used work trucks, used flatbed trucks, used dump bed trucks, used utility trucks, used box trucks, used cargo vans or used passenger vans, you won’t find a more complete inventory in Arkansas with nearly 100 used vehicles in stock all the time.

After you purchase a used work truck, used cargo van, used box truck, used utility truck or other type of used work truck at T&B Auto, be sure to bookmark our blog so you can find out more ways to help your gas mileage in your work truck as you travel the Arkansas highways.
Don’t Haul Items You Don’t Need
When you are driving your work truck or cargo van on a daily basis, you’ll improve your gas mileage if you lighten the load. Remove unnecessary items from your work truck bed or cargo van.
Keep it Steady
Continuous up and down acceleration and braking lowers your gas mileage. Use your cruise control on the highway to help maintain a constant speed and take it slow and easy on starts and stops. Slow down a little in general if you can, because your work truck uses more gas when you drive at higher speeds.

With just some basic changes in your habits, you may be able to improve the gas mileage in your work truck. Have you recently purchased a used work truck? If so, have service done right away.
Use Your Air Conditioning Less
Okay, this is easy to say in the middle of a cold January… use your air conditioner less in your used work truck. Air conditioning makes the work truck use more gas, so turn it off when you can and roll down the windows.
If you just insist on running the a/c in your work truck or work van, reduce the a/c load by parking in the shade so that your work truck doesn’t heat up as much during short stops. Leave the windows or sunroof cracked slightly if you’ll be right back.
