2015 gmc sierra & chevys

[Nitramiii]

I'm not saying Gmc is the best truck on the planet, but hear is what I do know. I bought the 2014 5.2 for my son and a 6.2 6months later for myself. I came out of a 2008 6.2. My sons truck seemed to pull and sound much quiter than my old 6.2. We stomped it side by side at 40 mph and he hammered my old 6.2. My new 6.2 now takes him at any given speed when we tested them recently. As for towing a 24 champion, the 6.2 does very well when compared to my 2008 6.2. It's quiter, does not hunt for gears and the tow haul is usable without being so mechanically rough. It's a compleTly different truck than the old body style. In town (Lafayette) around 13-14. Highway 17-18 @ 75-80mph. Towing short trip to c point 11 mph.

At those speeds it must take forever to get anywhere.

Put that 6.2 next to an Ecoboost and see what it does...

Yea, OK............

[Nitramiii]

Hahah....Oops, 11mpg

[mriguy]

I'm waiting on the 2015 F150, my dad's 2014 Chevy 5.3 is very nice.

[bjhooper82]

Bought a 2015 Tahoe a month ago and just drove it to Destin. Stayed at 73-75 most of the way and we averaged 25 mpg.

[DA COVE]

NO GM's in my driveway........

[noodle creek]

F150 hasn't been number one selling truck for 30+ years for no reason.

Yep, a lot of my freinds have ecoboost, tundra's, and dodges. They are all great trucks and I would be happy to driveing any of them.

wish they still made the s-10 for those of us who don't need full size and for that matter, I wish they still had any of the mini trucks, Nissan, Toyota, mazda, that get 30mpg with inline 4 cylinders.

I don't care what B S they try to say, there is absolutely no reason they cant make a 30-40mpg full size full power truck when they are making 40 & 50mpg cars.

my 1998 full size chevy Silverado with a v8 small block 350 engine gets 19mph & 21 highway pulling the boat doing 70mph with the a/c on which is way better then all of the new trucks out there that only get 16 & 17 mpg new when not pulling a trailer. if I bought a new truck today it would get the same 15mpg that my 1974 c-10 pickup used to get so whats up with that? why buy new to get WORSE gas mileage?

they havent produced a better gas mileage truck since the 1970's when they got 12-15mpg

the canyon doesn't come in regular cab and I am looking hard at the Tacoma which seams to be THE only option out there that doesn't offer worse gas mileage then my old truck.

new and improved with better technology is supposed to offer us better engines that get better gas mileage but its like a conspiracy that they (all manufacturers) wont design a new truck that gets over 16-18mpg.

the mini trucks used to be the best selling trucks on the market but people wanted them to be just a little bigger so the beds had more room the 3ft x 5ft yet they went way too far and started building full sized trucks not even offering the mini trucks any more.

if I park my '98 Silverado next to a '14 Tacoma, other then body style there isn't more then 6" difference in size while the tundra would make my Silverado look like a mid sized truck


so, to the auto manufacturers out there: I ONLY WANT TO BUY A FULL SIZED 30MPG TRUCK SO MAKE THE DARN THING ALREADY


I think they don't make them because they falsely believe all we want to buy is big oversized monster trucks that can haul as much weight as an 18 wheeler and while there certainly is a very popular market for that, they need to offer a better fuel economy mid sized truck as an alternative to it.

If ya don't tow a camper or a big boat look at the tacoma prerunner . 21 mpg hwy 19 towing my 18 ' boat . rides better w/ the boat behind it on the hwy.

[Tjethro85]

Not upset I just know people that drive them and gas mileage is not something they get much of. I do like tundras just don't like their fuel mileage. Btw I drive a diesel, diesel tank
