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
http://www.chevrolet.com/silverado-1...owertrain.html 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 |

My paw had a 95 Z71 flare side with 350 (not the vortec) 3.73 reared! The stock tires were Goodyear a/t's I believe 32/11.50/16's
@ 70 mph the the rpm's were rite @ 1700-1800 and we did 21 mpg's on the highway to the deer lease every weekend! The motor gave out @ 175,000k but the tranny was original! We still joke today that the 4x4 had less than a mile on it when he sold it! Man he treated that thing like a powder puff! Lol |

performance wise all brands have trucks to compete with each other. what nobody has mentioned is how ugly that new tundra is. ford not to far behind it with that nasty tailgate. chevy and gmc have the best looking trucks on the road right now. dodge...... do people still buy dodges?

Oh, and the front ends on the new Suburbans and Tahoes are about the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

[QUOTE=noodle creek;711818] Chevy's and Dodges are cheaper for the most part, but Ford is still selling more trucks. Oh, and they didn't need a bailout.
Better go do some research, Ford took a government loan too. They didn't take as much but they did take it. 9 billion and haven't paid it back. |

Also, up until about ten years ago, ford had the crappiest interior.

5.9 billion. They asked for it to retool manufacturing plants so they can keep up with the company that just got 80 billion in bail outs.

Chevy and gmc mechanicaly are the same vehicle. Ford f150 dosent come close to the combined sales. And ford always claims their F series is the best selling vehicles in america well I guess so the f series consist of about 20 models.

I just bought an ecoboost and my brother bought a 2014 chevy.
gas mileage is very close to each other, ecoboost definitely pulls more flawlessly without all the down shifting chevy has quieter ride, and probably a little smoother ecoboost has way more pep ford seems to sit a little higher which I like I do like the chevy's layout of all the gadgets better though Both pretty good trucks, I'd say. All comes down to personal preference, and if I was forced to choose another truck it would be either a f150 or the new gmc actually. I think the body style on the gmc is pretty sweet. |

just to compare...
2014 tundra 2x4 5.7 SR5 16.5mpg per tank average (1/2 hwy, 1/2 stop and go) 16mpg towing my 16ft cc at 60mph all trucks (real world) mpg are much closer that everyone says... take that how you want it, just speaking from personal experience |
