I have a 2021 crewcab Z71 RST 3.0 4x4 standard bed. I'm averaging 30+ mpg & 700 miles to a tank. (Highway miles).. d.e.f usage minimal and zero mechanical issues. 10spd transmission shifts smooth & is super quiet on the highway. Throttle response is great & low end torque is strong. I paid 52k new & have zero regrets. Plan on purchasing a yukon with the 3.0 baby duramax for my wife. LM2 motor is a beast & I'm at 46k miles so far....

People don't buy a V8 for gas mileage. I would never buy a full size with a 4 cyl. Just my opinion.

Just bought the 2024 1500 Elevation X31 package with the 3.0 Duramax. Where I live diesel is 3.72 a gallon. On average I get 25 mpg. Hopefully I made the right choice!

So far, I love my 5.3 elevation. Ride comfort is a 10 out of 10! The infotainment system is top of the line. I've had mine for about a year. My version was the 2022 refresh. Luckily for me, mine doesn't have the fuel chip also.

Thoughts on the 3.0 vs 5.3 for a DD hoping to maximize longevity? I love the idea of the torque and mileage on the 3.0 but worry it may be more problematic/expensive to repair down the road than the 5.3. How do you like/compare them vs a non-hybrid tundra?

@CTECH-REVIEW 3 ай бұрын

I like the new Tundra Twin turbo V6. Good power and fuel economy. 5.3 is tough to beat from a track record of long term durability, but the new 3.0 seems to addressed a lot of the earlier concerns like timing belt and oil consumption/leaks. Thats a tough question, I could go either way. I think I would trust the 5.3 a little more for long term durability than the 3.0 or the Tundra twin turbo.

@ThunderRunner 3 ай бұрын

@@CTECH-REVIEW interesting…whether or not the lifter issues are overblown in the gm v8’s, I think the repair and/or replacement costs are significantly less than some other engines like the tundra’s ttv6…think it probably plays into the long term reliability is also repair-ability. Do you have a favorite half ton in general and favorite powertrain?

How do you make sense of the optioning of those trucks? Who buys an Elevation for AT4 MSRP and 62k for an SLE? That’s insanity. Anyways, thanks for the MPG review, good stuff.

Downside of the 6.2 is more likely engine failure and you have to run premium fuel for the 11.2 compression. 20 bucks more a tank to get slightly worse mpg.

Thanks for watching! It didn't seem all that bad. Most regens run from 10-30 minutes. I wouldn't let that hold you back...it happens 1 time every 500 miles if your not towing heavy enough to get a passive regen.

I agree! I don't think a 4 cylinder should be in a half ton American truck at all, turbo or no turbo! Seems the 3.0 diesel is a way better choice(at 28+mpg) unless you prefer v8 power then it's 5.3 for it's long existence & 'reliability'. I'm not a GM guy, nor a 1\2 ton guy but I'd pick the Duramax in a GMC truck.
