GM today has updated the highway ratings of its upcoming Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models to 22 mpg, bringing these full-size pickups to a best-in-class fuel efficiency.
“We’ve enhanced the trucks’ fuel-saver mode, which optimizes shift patterns in the six-speed transmission for the best fuel economy,” Chevrolet spokesman Brian Goebel said. “Also, Active Fuel Managment is now able to hold four-cylinder mode longer. Plus, we’ve added variable valve timing to the engine.”
The Silverado and Sierra will be out soon.
