Silverado and Sierra 4x2s will offer an EPA rating of 18/24 mpg city/highway, making them just as good as the Ram 1500 with the new Pentastar and eight-speed transmission in the city and only 1 mpg less than the Ram on the highway.

 

In 4x4 configurations, the new Silverado and Sierra half-tons will get 17/22 mpg city/highway, the former being the best city number in the V-6 full-size pickup segment. Additionally, according to the the most updated spec sheets, maximum payload capacity for either pickup will be 2,108 pounds, and maximum towing capacity will be 7,200 both class leading when equipped with a V-6.

Looked into the 3.6 8 speed option a few months ago on a Ram forum. Saw a couple of posts from Ram mechanics who said more than once they had head &/or head gasket concerns with that motor. Unsure the history or track record of it & do not see a point to the HFE thing they have. So GM's 4.3 V6 would be the one to get if all out fuel mileage in a full size truck was the concern.
