In that regard, both the Silverado and Sierra continue to stand out with their impressive powertrain lineup with one engine in particular offering impressive an blend of performance and efficiency. You can’t go wrong with either V-8 engine or the Duramax diesel powertrain offered in both GM pickups. But, if you are looking for a truck that is surprisingly fuel-efficient while also delivering exceptional performance and towing capability, you might want to check out the 2.7-litre turbocharged High Output engine that comes standard on most models in the 2023 Silverado and 2023 Sierra lineups.

It also offers over 2,100 pounds of total payload in most versions.
