And how.
My old '89 Chevy S-10 weighed just over 1700 pounds (770 kg) empty. At 55 MPH (90 kph) on the freeway (back when that was still the limit), it got about 30 MPG (13 km/l / 7.7l/100km). OK, not great mileage, but what do you want for 80s US car tech :-)
For safety reasons, or whatever, they don't make mini trucks in the US any more. I did a double take on a new Dodge "Dakota" in the store parking lot the other day. It looked just like a full size pickup as far as I could see.
