beater mini trucks, whats best?

I have had my 94 ranger for four years now. I have put 35,000 miles on it since I got it and it still is getting 25 MPG on the highway and I drive it back and fourth to school at least once a month...500 mile round trip. It is the 4.0 v6 with a manual and has no problem with the light stuff. Only repair I have had to do was a new clutch. I drive it like a teenager and it takes the beating time and time again.
