    The i-force max is advertised as 22/24 mpg.
    They're squeezing a lot of hp out of a 4 banger.
    My 4.0 is averaging just under 20 according to my Ultragauge. He had the same truck.

    I don't know, just seems like a lot of stuff to break long term.

    I'll be looking in a couple of years. Nothing out there really winds my watch right now.
    Looks wise, I'll take a ZR2 all day, but GM problems would keep me away.
    My '96 Silverado with a 350 was a great truck. My '06 GMC was a turd.:rofl:

    Mine is about 21-23 city but that's a 4 banger.

    What GMC did you have?

    Had a Sierra SLT with a 5.3.
    No drivetrain troubles, just electrical and computer shit grenading.

    The '96 was a first year Vortek and it was still a 350. No issues.

    A friend in Vt. had a step side. It was that seasick green color they had back then.
    That thing could pull a house down in granny gear.
    Locking hubs, no rugs, metal dash, door panels and headliner....and vent windows.:rofl:
    What's not to like?

    I had a 2006 Colorado, brand new. Arguably the worst vehicle I've ever had, and I had mostly 10 year old plus vehicles prior. Engine went at 70K

    I only made it out on the Cape once the whole time I lived back there. My Favorite place to go was Mystic.

    New Yorkers liked Litchfield and Goshen when I lived there, I think they like most of Litchfield County LOL.
