New silverado gets WORSE mpg than last gen model

GM obviously screwed the pooch in the aerodynamics department. Although I can't imagine the F150 is much better, modern styling for trucks is large, flat, high grills, and no matter what you do it's hard to make a brick aerodynamic.

with lots of idle hours and 24-36k in miles, I would consider them well tested.

I have a friend who keeps buying Tahoes and complains that he has to replace them when they hit 100K miles because they start to fall apart. He keeps rolling negative equity over from them as well. I was like why not get something that lasts longer than 100K miles dude!

Here's some more information. The other engine/transmission combo's do a little better, it's just the carry-over drivetrains from 2018 that do worse.

Basically it's way, way worse aerodynamically despite being several hundred pounds lighter.
Notice how their aluminum hate went silent? I give it 3 years before they go all aluminum like Ford did.

Makes me wonder that if GM Does go the all aluminum route if they will follow Ford with gutting the plant completely and eliminate all welding to prevent cross contamination.
