The Silverado ranks behind the Ram 1500 and the Ford F-150 in my full-size pickup list, but the diesel motor adds something special to this Chevy truck.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesOf the top three full-size pickups in the US market, the Chevrolet Silverado has long been last on my list. Driving the diesel version didn't move it up, but it sure did heighten my opinion of the truck.
A funny thing happened a few weeks back, however. Chevy loaned me a 2020 Silverado featuring a Z71 off-road package and a 3.0-liter Duramax diesel engine, and it was so good that it made me completely reassess my view of the truck. Read to find out why: Owning a diesel means looking for green-nozzle pumps and refilling the urea-injection system , which mitigates oil-burner emissions.But the reward for these troubles is both the Silverado's juicy torque and decent fuel economy for a half-ton pickup, which is rated at 23 mpg in the city, 29 on the highway, and 25 combined. That's notably better than what you'd see from a 6.2-liter Silverado V8 running on gas, which gets a mere 17 mpg combined.
That still isn't bad, though. The ultra torque-y Duramax feels abundantly powerful, doing a passable imitation of a much larger motor while presenting an appealing option for customers who want to pay less at the pump and don't need to haul houseboats.

Twitter testing feature where users help flag politicians' lies - Business InsiderTwitter's testing a feature that would display bright bubbles below content flagged as misleading by users and weight votes based on a points system. very good idea. it works. SAI lol this photo , in a ' Caption This ' it looks like Jack is saying ' i didn't consent to this ' 🤣 btw Wikipedia & Reddit are never reliable sources for any kind of truth , so idk what hole you pulled that fable rabbit tale from . Who determines if something is false? When a politician says gun control saves lives, or a politician says gun ownerships saves lives. Do people who hold opposing views get to randomly make the determination its false because they disagree with it?
