Re: FORD 150 VS. CHEVY SILVERADO
Just bought a new 2011 Silverado with the 5.3 and the Fuel managment system. I have 650 miles on it and I am averging 17.8 miles per gallon. I had a 2007 with the same motor option and loved the truck. But at 62k it started burning/loosing oil, not leaking. I was really let down when it started loosing 1 Quart of oil every 2k. Gm said it was normal to loose 1 quart of oil in 2,000 miles. I disagree! So since I am a chevy guy! I just couldn't go with another make. I hope they have resolved this problem with my new truck. From what I have read on-line this problem was with the 2007-2008 models? I will let you know how it pulls with the new six speed transmission in another month. I am trailering the car to Tenn.
