2019 GMC Denali with 6.2. Stock except tonneau cover. Mixed city and highway over 1000 mile period = 17.5. Highway trips = 20.5. Pulling Polaris Ranger 1000 with full windshield on aluminum trailer = 10.5 - 13.0 depending on terrain. Very happy with my truck. Came from a F250 with Powerstroke

2019 GMC Sierra Denali with 25K miles: Last 800 miles with mixed city and highway - 17.6 MPG running nothing but 87 octane

I only run 93 about every 10th tank. Run 87 the rest of time.

I like all trucks! I’m just a truck guy. I currently have a 2019 GMC Denali 1500 with 6.2 engine. If not for a 6.2 engine, I would not be driving a GM product. I think both the Ram and Ford are better looking trucks and both have much nicer interiors. But, in my opinion, neither RAM or Ford has an engine in a half ton that holds a candle to the 6.2. I am a firm believer in the 6.2 and not afraid to admit it. I’ve owned (3) 5.3 trucks and would not even consider GM if this was the only engine available.

Short trips

I’ve owned (2) 5.3 Liters and (1) 6.2 Liter which I currently have. The only reason I am still with GM is because of the 6.2 Liter. If this engine was not available, I would be in a Hemi or 5.0 Ford.

For you guys running a 4" or 4.5" lift on 33's - what kind of MPG are you getting? Spoke with a dealer who installs 6" BDS lifts and puts 35" tires on them. They told me after speedo recalibrate, the trucks get 12 MPG. I love the look but cannot handle that much fuel loss.
