Legit Leaked MPG Figs

Typically he is slower to reply on a heavy flow day.

 

Maybe…

 

They pulled it down after roughly an hour.

That is about what I was guessing...24-25 hwy. No way it would hit 30...unless a hybrid or deezul.

While not quite enough to get me off the couch, good improvement from the out going model...much needed step up in hp/tq...with a bit of mileage gains. Will be a decent little truck.

 

I dunno, not many fullsize trucks are getting that according to fuelly. They can barely crack 20 hwy, unless you hyper-mile it.

 

I know everyone swears by fuelly, but from someone who owned a new Silverado briefly as a mistake for 6 months I consistently got 19-20 city and 23-25 hwy from the 5.3L and that's not from just the dummy computer, actual numbers.

 

Some can get it...but the majority don't. Best a couple of my dirt bike buddy's can get out theirs is 18-19 hwy, and that is driving conservatively.

What I am noticing... a couple few of my buds are going to Subarus and TDi VW's...and a light weight 3 rail aluminum trailer....tired of feeding their pickups.

Several are pretty excited about the diesel Colorado coming out. Basically Subaru gasser fuel economy, but in a pickup.

 

Im a dirt bike buddy, loaded with my bike in the back I was getting that doing 70 on the hwy to the local track, do they have the new ecotec ones or the older version, not trying to be a nag, just hate when people throw stuff out and don't have the first hand knowledge. My buddy is already on the list for a diesel Colorado, he's trading in his 2nd gen for it, tried to talk him out of it and will continue to everytime we ride/talk.

 

I may actually go for Diesel Colorado too. It has enough towing for me, I can deal with DPF system np.
But I have to see Titan XD in person first.

 

That Titan is ugly as hell.... And IMHO way worse than the Tacoma ever could be.

 

Both...ecotecs are getting a little better 20-21...but no 23-24. Still... not bad for a fullsize truck. Seem like good trucks to me, but no manual trans is a deal killer for me. Even the wife wants another vehicle with a manual trans. Our SUV is an auto and she wants to get rid of it. Even though I don't care for the DCSB Taco, most likely end up with one, since I already have an extra cab, might even ditch that and get an Access Cab for me.

I am liking the specs on the Colorado...again...no manual trans is a real pisser. I don't care for autos at all.

 

Anyone know when the Duramax diesel OFFICIAL specs are going to be released?

 

Gobs of torque and expensive.

No MPG numbers yet.

 

Looks good to me. Excited to see the mpg on that, I would bet close to 35.

 

I just can't justify a diesel. The gassers tow enough for me. And i don't think the extra mpg will offset the diesel price (about 10cents more here), def, premium when u buy it and extra maintenance cost.

 

The released the hp/tq specs already nothing on mpg yet.

whatever EPA specs on the taco is and the collie..... figure 20% less for a gasser, and 20% more for the diesel.
