Nobody on the internet does a more thorough, accurate, relevant and consistent fuel consumption tests than these guys.

[@TFLtruck]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! -Andre.

[@phild9813]

I guess I agree and disagree. They do a generally good job, but one shot, one trip mileage calculations might not be representative of the bigger picture. Should really be collected over the course of ownership. Split out city and highway mileage if it means something to you, but there are too many variables in a single trip.

[@kennetho5393]

@@TFLtruck Love the show Andre but some inconsistencies on fuel economy is evident. First is I wouldn't bother testing fuel economy and calling it real world until there is at least 5,000 miles. Second, Fords should never get the 30 second top off. It says so in the manual that it can cause damage. Third, I like to see more long distance drives for fuel economy. Only 50-100 miles is not realistic.

[@andyd5492]

@@TFLtruck That's only a reasonable comparison if you did the same thing(return trip) with the other 3 trucks you quoted mileage for.

[@VineV-Dutch]

@@TFLtruck When are you guys going to do what everybody wants to see? F150, Tundra, Ram 1500, Silverado on IKE GAUNTLET? All we have now is single tow or at best 2 cars towing. A video for everybody who tows daily. So we can finally have a good MPG and power comparison with the same trucks and the same engines. The gas and the hybrids separated. Because gas vs hybrid videos we already have. But not the big 4 vs each other on the same day in the same circumstances. Preferably WITHOUT off road packages. Cattle haulers and people with 5th wheels usually don't leave highways. You are more and more about off roading, but majority of North America never leave tarmac/paved roads. And if, then it's just a dirt road to a parking space at a mountain bike park or something

[@billdelacroix6880]

I just purchased a 2022 GMC Sierra AT 4 limited with the 3 liter duramax. Two 260 mile round trips Fort Collins to Frisco and it was 25 mpg. Even With diesel so much more than 91 octane, it is sill less expensive overall than gas. While they both have 460 lbs torque at sea level, the gas engine looses 3 % power every 1000 feet in elevation. that's a 33% loss in power as you enter the Eisenhower tunnel at 11,000 feet. Turbos loose very little. I am amazed how the 3.0 duramax flys up the tunnel approaches. Also I bought the 2022 limited. That beautiful new dashboard in the ZR2 adds $3,200 TO THE PRICE of the latest of either the sierra or silverado. My AT 4 was $63500 with sunroof, running boards and several other options . The AT 4 may not be as good off road as the ZR 2, but I have no desire to take a $67,000 truck up Hells Revenge or Poison Spyder. I'll stick with an Polaris RZR or Kawasaki KRX 1000 for some real fun on those trails. Keep up all the great tests you do,

[@Johnnatanbarrozo12]

After I watched your video I bought the ZR2 I am using 87 oct gas do you think the 91 will get better mileage also I was thinking to change the tires to get better gas mileage.?

[@gregjoubert5118]

Not bad considering the wind etc. I still do think they should have added a larger tank to the Silverado. For towing and long distance off road excursions fuel mileage will dip quite a bit.

Andre, interested in getting a 2024 Silverado LT TrailBoss or the ZR2 . Needs to have the 6.2L V-8. I noticed the gas cap says premium gas recommended on the truck. I also noticed in this video you mentioned and put in 91octane .So my question to you is if I put 87octane in the truck , will it harm the engine or void my warranty . I know my mpg & performance may be a little less but have you ever tried a comparison using 87 octane vs 91 octane or even 93 octane. I looked at the TrailBoss LT 5.3L gas cap & it says nothing about using premium fuel in that trucks engine. What is Chevy saying about the premium gas in the 6.2L engine. Thank you & keep up your videos cause I'm hitting subscribe after sending this.

[@scruffy4647]

Are the side door windows tinted differently or is it the camera angle? The rear door window look-through appears more real and the driver's side look-through more glare. How about auto-dimming on the side view and rear view mirrors? My 2004 Silverado has fantastic auto-dimming on both. I am older so it really helps driving at night.

GM used to say you shouldn't go on a long drive at constant rpm while breaking in the engine. Don't know if that's changed though. Noticed in my Ford that the mileage can really vary with cross/tail/ head winds and when I had bigger tires on in the winter gas mileage plummted. Also think cold, dense air of winter hurts it. Best MPG is at 'room temp' like 60-80 F.

Still a good habit for the first few hundred miles. On my last new purchase I would go down the highway between 5th and 6th to vary the rpm.

That’s why Ford is keeping the current Raptor and adding the R. The next TRX will be the straight 6 tho. 2 V8’s don’t make sense either.

@@b.t.2795 who cares? Would you buy a truck like this for fuel economy

[@rubendawn7478]

I love you guy's channel, big fan but in this one, I don't think this is a real appreciation of the mpg, nobody drives 60 mph on the highway. I get that on my '12 F150 with the 5.0 @ 70 mph. Keep up the great job.

[@jerryeastman170]

Yeah so, and I get 45 mpg with my chevy Cruze. You aren't comparing apples to apples. For one, the speed limit through much of that area he was driving, is 60. You also completely fail to comprehend what 12,000 ft of elevation and driving over mountains does to fuel mileage

@@jerryeastman170 Yea, but people don't drive the speed limit on the highway/interstate anywhere. lol Hell people down here south drive their lifted trucks on the back roads like their sports cars.

[@rodgood]

A 3 litre ZR2 would have got 25 mpg .

[@bradm3a3]

Hey guys, if you need a Colorado zr2 to compare to I have a 2018 Colorado zr2 with the diesel, I'm down in the springs and open to do what ever y'all need

The Eisenhower tunnel sits at over 11,000 ft elevation. Much of the trip was conducted and higher altitudes.

[@jerryeastman170]

Yeah its shocking the amount of haters on here that refuse to educate themselves enough to realize that point!

Wasn’t the rebel also not broken in yet when that video was made
