Lil bubba I had the same Chevy 4x4 as you and I never got 19-21...mine was more like 17 gpm max doing 70mpg.

Rear end gears may have been different and when i had the eagle tires mileage was lower and i run 40# cold now. I thought i would trip my tire sensors but those silent armors don't heat up like most tires. Highest they been was 42#. Cruise control makes a world of difference also......

well if his 4 wheel drive was a 2 wheel drive like I said mine was then he would have gotten 19/21

no 4 x 4 will get the same mileage as a 2 wheel drive

Had a truck like yours, numbers sound good to me. Some of those motors were on time. Hell I had a 97 2-door Yukon 4x4 with 35" ATs that got 17-19 back in the day. Regret trading that ride in, it was sweet!

ya, I thought about trading it in several times but what stopped me was the gas mileage. it just seamed to me as stupid to trade it in to buy something newer with a smaller engine in it that would get worse gas mileage, regardless of the new tech to increase hp from it.

im always on the road making a few 150 mile trips a week so mileage is a HUGE deal for me

That 4x4 sticker on the bed aint there for show. What i stated is what i get . Your opinion is your opinion. Different gear ratio's and different tires with different pressures means different mileage. Maybe in 2050 they will make you a 30 mpg. truck.

you are right, gearing and tire sizes are a HUGE part of gas mileage which is why 4wd won't get the same mileage as a 2wd version can, because gearing and tire sizes are different along with other things like weight and drive train drag.

well bubba you got me curious so I went look it up and according the chevy with the 5.3 ecoboost engine in a 4wd you should be getting 16 city and 22 highway which is very nice mileage for a 4wd

the 2wd version gets 16/23 which is still a step backwards from my 19/21 in my opinion but since I expect you would average get somewhere in the middle of that its close but I don't understand why there is a 6-7mpg difference in city vs hwy so I suspect the rated hwy mileages are done in a sealed vacuum chamber and pure fantasy to be THAT different
