But GM did try putting under sized V6 car motors in full sized trucks, they got better city mileage but seemed to get worse highway mileage.

Now they have a 4 cylinder diesel they put into their full sized one ton extended 15 passenger Vans (optional). I'm not sure what kind of fuel mileage it actually gets though.
I did once know a guy who said he three trucks, one with a V6, one with a V8 and one with a V10 and he claimed they all got exactly the same fuel mileage.
