2020 Silverado Diesel 3.0 EPA Rated...
...33 mpg highway--pretty phenomenal for a truck! Here's Chevy's press release: https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/che...silverado.html

So that's the best so far. I know Fiat is claiming the new Ecodiesel will be the best so I wonder if it hits 30 highway with the 4wd. The Ford has a good 2wd rating but takes a big hit with the 4wd. Then again so does this Chevy.
What's sort of surprising the smaller truck (Canyon/Colorado) with the smaller diesel (2.8 vs 3.0), with 100 less hp and torque, is only rated 20/30 2wd and 19/28 4wd. And they wonder why the smaller trucks keep dying off. They cost just as much, but don't do as much, or save much as just getting a full size. |

Now imagine if they beefed up a VW Caddy the fuel economy that could get?

I just read the article and I saw two things to gripe about.
They said the new Silverado is Larger. Why!? they're already huge and ugly, don't make it worse. Second, they said it's the first time that Chevy has used an inline-6 in a half ton pickup. That's hogwash, I've seen lots of Chevy pickups up into the 80's even with I-6's. |

Anyway. At this point the economy isn’t “bad” comparatively on any of these trucks (if you look back 10 years anyway) That said my 6.2 suburban could turn 28mpg with a 5 speed stick, and it was cheap and didn’t require a turbo (which tends to plug up in cold climates) |
