Which half ton to buy?

[pfi572]

I have gm and dodge trucks and can't get any where near the milage you guys get. 15/100km is about the best I've ever seen in a truck.

Can’t have any weight , no lift kits or big heavy tires .
Add any of that and 15/100 is good.

yeah I'm not talking about towing anything.

stock tires on our gm''s.

old man just got a 2020 duramax. I'll check tomorrow but bet it's over 15 per 100.

6.2 ‘S Dan ?
I have had a few of them and all have been good . With 285/55-20 10 ply tires over the stock 22’s will even change it to 11.8/100 driving the same trip .
Crazy how much a tire changes things .

And my 2012 DMax deleted only gets 17/100 at best but4.5 inch lift ,big bumper ,sled deck ,275/65-20 Duratracs and blah blah.

Dont have any 6.2s. We have 6l's 5.3L's 4.8's a few V6's and 4 duramax's. Got a few new 4x4 half tons this year, not sure whats in them for engines.
They are just basic trucks, pretty sure they have V8's in them though.

The 2wd 5.3's get pretty good milage, but the all 4x4;s all seem to get 15-16L/100km. And the dodge is straight up fuel pig haha


The 9 or 10L/100km seems really good for a truck. But right on though All I know is dont get a lifted dodge if you are looking for good fuel economy! Haha

This is quite obviously the truck you want!

I average 13.2, with my 6.2 I would think 3.5 would be around 8/100

And spending an additional 20% on fuel costs to feed the thing with premium. Need to account for that too.

Premium is recommended not required . FYI
I run the premium most times as they do run better though .
The eco boost runs better as well with premium but not required .

That’s a good point, all I burn is premium
Dealership said I could run 2 reg and 1 premium.

This chit lies too.... do your own calculations when you fill up. My tundra computer tells me I get 12.5 but that's a lie..... I get 15/16
