Engine

Fuel friendly
This Chevy truck is definitely efficient when it comes to saving fuel money. Some trims are of course more efficient than the others. If you are looking to save some more money, you might want to consider the diesel trim options. For two-wheel drives, the diesel engine will give you 23 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and as much as 33 miles per gallon otherwise.
