2020 Chevrolet Silverado

Chevrolet has released EPA fuel economy numbers for the new diesel-powered Silverado 1500, and they’re impressive. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 3.0-liter Duramax engine delivers up to 23/33 mpg city/highway.

This number puts it ahead of the 2019 Ford F-150 diesel, the most economical Ford truck at 22/30 mpg. When opting for four-wheel drive instead of rear-wheel drive, fuel economy on the Silverado diesel drops to 23/29 mpg, but it’s still ahead of a comparable F-150 diesel at 21/28 mpg. The current Ram 1500 Classic diesel nets 20/27 mpg, but these numbers are practically irrelevant given that the automaker is coming out with a brand new 2020 EcoDiesel. Fuel economy has not yet been announced for the new Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, so we don’t know if Chevy will be able to hold its claim to best-in-category fuel economy. But we do know Ram also plans to get ahead of Ford.
