General Motors has announced that the new base two-wheel drive 4.3-liter V6-powered 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks will return an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
If ordered with four-wheel drive, the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins will offer 17 mpg city, which GM claims to be the best of any full-size pickup, and 22 mpg highway. According to the Detroit-based company, these estimates are achieved without expensive add-ons and apply to all three cab configurations.
"Budget-conscious customers often buy V6 pickups to do real work, and the 2014 Silverado with the 4.3L EcoTec3 V-6 will combine unmatched capability and excellent fuel economy with surprising levels of refinement," said Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer. "Our V-6 has torque where you need it to get the job done, with 230 lb-ft of torque available at 1,200 rpm, and more torque available from 2,400 to 5,300 rpm than competitive V6s make at their peak."
Revealed back in April, the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are scheduled to arrive in dealerships this summer with prices starting from $24,585 and $25,085 respectively.
