Vita;
I have purchased over 100 vans and trucks for my business over the years to include Ford, Dodge, Chevy / GMC, diesel and gas and the ones that have always lasted the longest with least amount of repairs by far have been our Chevy vans and pickups with the 5.3L V-8. We average 275,000
hard miles out of them before we get rid of them.
My personal vehicles are a 2014 Chevy 1500 High Country Pickup with a 5.3 L and a 2017 Chevy Tahoe Premier also with a 5.3 L. I get low to mid 20's on the highway and around 18 in the city. The pickup gets slightly better mileage. They both suck towing anything mileage wise and I don't bother to check it any more! I do have a heavy foot also!
FWIW;
