New Chevy Silverado 1500 TrailBoss Duramax crew

[GRANITE]

Back in August my 2020 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi was starting to get the dreaded hemi tik at almost 85,000 miles and I traded it in on this new 1/2 ton 3.0 Duramax Silverado. MPG is averaging to about 26mpg. Really enjoy it so far and being back in a diesel!

I pickup a very slightly used 24 RST a few months back. ABSOLUTELY love this truck!!! Wife drive it from Central Texas to Mide part of Minnesota and back last month. Averaged 29 mpg at 75 mph.
Also have a 2020 6.6 Dmax.

@Tramguage1 29mpg, wow. Is that the 4 cylinder?

 

[ChadD]

I average 20mpg with a 5.3l. Not bad for a 4x4 truck on dirt roads. I can tell when oil life is getting down around 50% cause mpg drops to 18

 

[ChadD]

I've gotten 24mpg on long trip but as low as 10mpg towing enclosed trailer

Here's my work truck, 3.0 diesel, picked it up in July, now has 21,000 on it. Average mpg 27 most days, best was 31.5 on a tank. It towed 2 buggies to TN & back on a 20ft flatbed, we averaged 15.7 for the trip.

Yup. Baby Duramax Club

I’m still rocking the 2020 Duramax. I love the way this thing tows. Hate all the emissions crap.

Bought this 1500 Duramax RST back on the 1st of June. Went to from South Dakota to Idaho and back for an Elk hunt. Got 34 MPG going there. Got 40 MPG coming back. I average around 24 daily driving here in Rapid City SD. That AutoStop pisses me off, but other than that, I love this truck.

Almost 100 miles into my return journey from Idaho

Only thing that I've found is when I pull trailer it squats quite a bit. So looking to get some Timbrens for the back.

I purchased the auto stop bypass made by SmartStopStart, less than 10 minutes to install 100% plug and play. And it works as advertised!

Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed today. I'm only getting 22mpg running 85 mph into a stiff North wind at 20°f 🤣
