The 2.2 is pretty gutsy compared to the equivalent L200 or Navara so I'm told. The father in law is a quarry manager up here and had to replace his old Ranger with something - he tried them all but went with what he knew and got the new Ranger. He reckons he's getting 22-24mpg out of his when he was getting mid 30's comfortably out of the other 2 and his old Ranger.
Other than that, he likes it but did comment on the noticeable size difference between the 2. I've had to use it a couple of times and it drives well but does feel a little underpowered.
