On a serious note, it's extremely difficult to get any better with GM's large-displacement, slush-boxed trucks. It can be done, but it's still tough.
You've got your little smilie up there... but I see this sort of thing a lot about GM trucks. I just don't understand why.

I needed a full size truck that can seat my whole family and tow a decent sized trailer. That meant a V8 and an extended cab, full size truck. Go over to fueleconomy.gov - advanced search and limit your search to 2001 2wd gas pickups with 6-8 cylinders and an auto. What's the first you see with a V8? GM...

You can do this with most years and see GM or Ford as the first on the list. A major reason I picked a Chevy because it was the most efficient truck in the class I was looking for.
