Thats really good mileage. Nice looking truck. I picked my new 22 refresh Silverado crew cab RST 4x4 up a week ago. It has the 3.0 in it. I filled up at 520 miles on the tank it still showed 55 miles of range left. Hand calc'd the mileage at 23.1. I couldn't be happier. I live in south dakota and drive 80-85 on the interstate and it seems like it's always windy. Hoping to see even better mileage when I get more miles on it.
The reason why your 18 was rated better is because your new truck doesn't have DFM(they still aren't putting DFM in the new GM small blocks since last year. Also the aero is better on the K2 chassis because they sit alot lower. The T1 chassis new trucks sit higher and definitely have worse aerodynamics
I don't know what it is but I have a 2019 GMC Sierra and I noticed rocks love it why maybe the design first truck I've owned that rocks hit so much 😁🤷♂️
So far I'm getting 18-19 for mpg so far lol been driving a Camry n always let the gears slowly go up n only step on it when in need haha I guess I like to baby my vehicles to get the best life out of the vehicle haha 😆
@lmfscrew i've seen people in ram trx's,durango hellcats gettin on it even after they just bought those. their 700hp. what are you supposed to do when you get something that insane?
Oh my f150 when its filled it says forgot how much exactly but it's a bit more than 600 miles would that mean the truck might have a extended gas thing? N yes I'm replying as I watch lol the truck I bought didn't had a paper or nothing with the specs I believe it just got there cause they haven't service it yet there gonna do it for me tomorrow hard to find trucks man only saw 2 new ones n the used one I got but only had 36k which to me ain't bad at all
I'm a professional mechanic. On my own vehicles I drive them like I'm going to drive them from the first minute, but, I change the oil at 500 miles, then at 1500 miles, then at 3000 miles, then at 5000 miles and every 5000 after that. On my 2020 5.3 Silverado that works out to between 50 and 45% on the oil life monitor. Mine is a 5.3 8 speed 4x4 with 3.23s and it's sitting on 33x12.5r18 venom power Terra hunters. I drive exclusively in town mostly, and I'm seeing around 12.5 mpg. On the highway at a conservative speed I can get 22 mpg, but I usually run about 73mph and see 19 mpg. I have noticed the dfm system works better with cruise control on because if you're pedal driving and cylinders start disengaging, your brain perceives that the truck is slowing down and you push the gas pedal and re engage all 8 cylinders because the truck thinks you want to accelerate. Cruise control takes the human factor out of it and you can just let the truck do what it does.
Dude as soon as you put decent tires on that thing, exhaust, level, its going to rob you 2mpg or more. Also your gonna miss the 6.2 its overall a better motor. Them 5.3s are solid but way under powered in todays market.
Damn gas is cheap where you are. Here in Canada my Malibu costs more than that to fill up. 95$. 2$ a litre here in Ontario. My brothers truck costs like 180$ to fill up. I know I’m gonna get roasted about the conversion but still insane.
I also have a 22 GMC Elevation Limited or old style inside. I’m getting 19.5 to 20 with highway and town. The ten speed transmission takes a little to get use to but love my truck so far coming up on first oil change. How do you like the digital gauges? Bed liner getting sprayed in soon? And are you going to do a cat back exhaust?
Ooh yeah I feel it. Figured it was just another junk GM trans . It definitely searches a lot for the correct gear . Sucks it's a love hate with the truck.
@@sposatoas258 this is my 3rd GMC 03,07,22 never had a problem with trucks. My 96 jimmy transmission went at 60,000 after that just changed fluids every 50,000 miles
I'm a mechanic at the chevy dealership in Arlington Texas I seen a guy buy a brand new Corvette with under 200 mile on it the silly guy floored it leaving the dealership and locking up a brand new engine plus voided his warranty some people know nothing of how a engine works.🥺
I recently just had the best tank of fuel in my pickup so far. 500 miles with 22' RST with 6.2, 10 speed and 3.23 rear gear I believe. Computer said 22.1 average. Every time I manually check MPG and found that the pickup is usually within .1-.2 mpg off. pretty damn close if you ask me. Also, about to turn 15000k and where I live is relatively flatish
I have my 2021 sierra 1500 and I get 32.3mpg yes 32.2 I cruise control at at 70mph my commute is 160 round trip everyday yes from my driveway to my work is 80 miles I love this truck only issue I'm having lately is my adaptive cruise control says not available at this time or lane change fund or whatever is unavailable, anybody know a quick fix for that? I have 28k miles now all freeway
the break in bs is a myth......never done it with a motocross bike or new truck and never had an issue.....they are ready to go off the lot.....doesnt mean be total jackass but just use some common sense and be fine.....
What was the gear ratio on your 18? Wasn’t it like 3.08 or something like that?That’s probably why the mpg is rated higher. 6 speed tho so idk I feel like 3.42 with the 10 speed would still be rated higher
Just bought an LT Silverado with the 3.0 duramax. I'm at 437 miles and still have 3/8 tank left. The screen says 196 miles left. Crazy mileage. I regret nothing buying that truck.
My 2018 double cab redline gets like 20 hwy 75mph, 5.3, 3.42, 6speed. It's now at 95k miles. Only issue is leaking oil cooler lines. I will replace this summer. Good video
The best I ever did in my 2018 was 25mpg. That was from Pa. To OBX. I am tickled my 2022 refresh does NOT have that AFM. I'll take the little hit on milage to have lifters last longer
89$ in canada won't give my hyundai sonata a half tank it 92$ is the best I got and that was runnin75 to 85 mph. I wouldn t complain on 5 a gallon we r paying ten and we got way more oil then the US u guys get it from CAnada and we paydouble u do I hope u gas goes to 15 a gallon like ours it .since Biden and all u people that think 4.5 a gallon is high live in our world. then to top if off u can see from our side to the US side advertising 4.5. so suck it up like a real man.
I’m curious why you went from the 6.2 to 5.3 ? High fuel costs ? I’m so addicted to my 6.2 Denali , I don’t know if I could go back to a 5.3. It’s just surprising to me from a power craving guy like you. I do love the new truck. Looks awesome, and I know you’ll make it super cool 😎 !!
Can I ask why you did not pick the AT4 or the Denali? I am looking into buying a Sierra but I am still trying to figure out what trim package. Thank you for the great video!
My 2016 Sierra apex 4x4 6 in lift on 35s Is average about 19Mpg. Daily driver. Back roads curves hilly roads interstate an all. Filled up on 1/8th tank today at 4.19 a gallon cost me 84.00
happy I got the 3.0L baby duramax... 21 city, red light stop and go, driving and 28-30 on short highway trips, 40+ on long 8 hour drives. Congrats on the new wheels though! can't wait to see you mod this one up!
I was thinking those numbers would be better. I have a 2017 Sierra 1500 slt w/ 33’s and get 21-23 on highway. It has the 8 spd 5.3L and the 3.42. But man that truck looks stupid good.
My 8l90 with the 3.23 does that same RPM at 80 mph for reference. Does the truck have parking assist? I don't see those goofy sensors on the bumpers. I thought if you got forward collision avoidance it automatically came with park assist; part of the driver safety package.
gas is cheaper where you are. southern Michigan in 4.59. diesel is 5.30. dad just filled his power stroke for 150.00. love the new truck. Definitely making me want a new one. would like a quick video of the interior at some point if you don't mind.
Did the Trailboss taking a crap on you make it easier for you to decide to get rid of it relatively quickly? You think you wouldn't had looked a new trucks so soon had it ran perfect the whole time?
Thats pretty good mpg with 3.42 wonder what a 3.23 would do? that 10 speed helps.. 1st through 3rd gear r lower geared vs old 6 speed or 8 speed.. thats y i say 3.23 would be good bc of 10 speed 1st and 2nd gear ratio being so low in transmission.. hard to say tho i think with 35 in tires with 3.23 would do just fine because of the 10 speed ya i would do 3.42 with 6 speed or 8 speed bc ratio in transmission r different vs 10 speed
Lay into it brotha! No matter what you drive, it’s okay to lay into it on an open road. It’s a truck. It works for you not the other way around. Nice truck!
Dang! I wish my truck got that kind of range. I have a 2022 Colorado ZR2 and my fuel range sucks! I can't wait to see the mods coming to the Sierra. I live in Pelham, so I hope to see your truck on road at some point. Love the videos.
My truck is a 5.3 6speed with 3.42s and local I get between 16-17 mpg with true duals and 33s on a trip to Tennessee recently I averaged 19 mpg with heavy traffic on the way back
My opinion also lol. I just don't like the new ones. I'll keep my older one and watch everyone else foolishly make high priced payments on $50-$100k trucks.
I'm baffled! I just got a 2022 GMC Sierra Elevation with the 5.3. I have been driving mindfully for the first 800 miles and I'm only getting 325 miles of range per tank.

THANKS ,for sharing the reality of the MPG
The OWNERS MANUAL tells the fuel tank volume. Your 3.23 vs 3.42. You are blowing this completely out of proportion. Very small difference. Very small.
I ain’t ready to hear a clapped out exhaust on a brand new truck
The reason why your 18 was rated better is because your new truck doesn't have DFM(they still aren't putting DFM in the new GM small blocks since last year. Also the aero is better on the K2 chassis because they sit alot lower. The T1 chassis new trucks sit higher and definitely have worse aerodynamics

My Ford Lightning Pro is being built next week…guesstimating the cost of a electric gallon will be about $0.85/gallon. My new “economy car”
I haven’t broke 100 yet either. I got close last week at 98 and some change but I fully expect to break 100 soon
Love all the trucks bubba
My 02' chevy trailblazer has a 3.42 rear end as well
Damn idk how your not hitting 100$ I’m hittin 130$ on my 21 f150
What's up with the new designs.
I have a 21 RST 6.2 I average 19.1 every day and on road trips I average 23.4 highway , stock with the pulsar LT

wow a week and already 500 miles ?? I must not go anywhere because I got my new truck in march and just barley went over 500 miles
I daily a 94 c2500, i just wish i got more than 10 mpg 😭
Are you going to get an exhaust for the 22?
at some point

Hi, I wanted to ask if you are going disable there dfm on this truck like adding a pulsar Lt of something like that?
Drive it for a month or 1k miles on the engine and it’s broke in and ready to be abused lol

The new 5.3s don't have DFM. AFM/DFM is responsible for all of the lifter failures from 08'-21
I was thinking the same thing
Man that gearing hurts the mpg. I do recall the sierra having different mpg than the comparable Silverado due to aerodynamics.

Ten speed only good new thing dfm is worse auto start stop burns more fuel 😂
why the swap from Chevy to gmc? get a good trade on your trail boss?
I wouldn’t dual this truck put I’d just do a single exit but it’s your brand new truck so do anything to it bro 🤟
Just saw two get delivered, lol. I’m trying to get approved for an At4
Romp on it if you got it! lol Everyone's a critic.

ur 6.2 with the 3:42 gear must be a beast. Thought it liked premium fuel tho. . .
This is a really good MPG! Which mods are you going to put on? I know the exhaust will be loud again
running me 200 a tank in my pick up so 89 is a joke. 😂

How much you bought the truck out the door?
They always get less than what’s on the sticker
Do the new trucks not have a fuel cap?
I will send a calendar so you can do your 0 to 0 runs.
6.2 getting tune with e85 and cam
My 18 year old gmc gets 11 mpg 🥺
You don't keep your trucks long enough, long term it does damage to the engine and transmission
