4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
With the specific gears I have in my truck, I get 20+ MPG on the highway...and I have a crew cab truck. City mileage is right in-line with the EPA of 14, but it is no worse than the others. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review

The 5.3L gets an impressive 20mpg on the freeway and with a tonneau, about 21. Mixed driving is about 15-17mpg and purely city driving nets between 14-16mpg. Towing economy is not bad at about 12-13mpg with a light load and 9-11mpg with a heavy load. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
