The Silverado XFE package was a 2wd AFM 5.3L with a 3.08 rear and a few aero mods up front. Very low production, nobody wanted them.

This whole debate about the mileage Silverado vs. Ridgeline is really for not anyways...

Real world FE for the 2012 Ridgeline on Fuelly: 18.6 with many in the 19-20 range
Real world FE for 2012 Silverado on Fuelly: 15.5 and most in that region

Ridgelines have an oil burning issue with software... AFM 5.3L GM engines have that issue as well.
