They are supposed to get great gas milage on the highway. I test drove one, they are nice other than the engine lag.
Yeah we unwillingly turned this thread into truck chat because:
A) No one was talking much about the NationStates
B) NationStates site don't have a forum to post on

Back on the truck topic, no I have not test driven one yet. I am a bit confused at the dual versions of Silverados that Chevy decided to come up with. One is Silverado where the other is classic (I am not sure what the exact idea was behind the split), the main diff appeared to be with the body type to engine size. If the truck is a standard cab cilverado it has a 6-cylinder engine where classic silverado can come in quad cab and bigger than usual (5.3) 8 cyl. engine. I personally think it is dumb to get a truck that size with a 6 cylinder despite being more economical gas-wise.

A full size truck needs a 8 cylinder, especially if you will load it up or tow something...
