Ive been tossing around the thought of buying a 73 up thats 4wd. Maybe even a 3/4 ton 4*4. Is there a big difference in gas mileage on these between the two transmission types ? I prefer automatic for what I do, but a manual would be nice if it saved several miles to the gallon. Is it true that the 3/4 model uses several more mpg vs the 1/2 model ?
