FORD 150 VS. CHEVY SILVERADO

[ORIGLS6]

Good luck with the gas mileage. My 5.3 gets worse overall mileage than my previous 5.7 Silverado. And it absolutely HATES my trailer. I've never gotten better than 9 mpg pulling a 20' trailer, and on most trips it hovers closer to 7 mpg.

Now, I will admit other than the mileage they have both been very dependable trucks. I drove the '97 5.7L truck 206K miles with nothing more than a slight oil leak at the rear of the intake. (except for a few fuel pump issues [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]) and the current truck has over 100K with the speedometer being the only problem to date.
I'll be looking at a different truck in 2011 and may consider a 2500 series or another 1500 with the 6.0 engine.
