Pickups are meant for daily use. While these vehicles can handle hauling and other work-related tasks, the fuel needed to power through jobs can become expensive. A good truck allows you to maintain reasonable operating costs. How do two of the most popular mid-size options in Alberta - the GMC Sierra 1500 Denali and 2021 Ram 1500 Tradesman - compare in this area?Â
Â
2021 Ram 1500 Tradesman
Engine: 3.6L V6 Highway Fuel Economy: 9.4 L/100 km City Fuel Economy: 11.9 L/100 km Gas Tank Size: 98L
2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali
Engine: 5.3L EcoTech Highway Fuel Economy: 10.7 L/100 km City Fuel Economy: 14.3 L/100 km Gas Tank Size: 91L
The Ram 1500 Tradesman gets significantly better fuel economy than the Sierra Denali. Thanks to its eTorque feature, which comes standard on all V6 engine models, it also offers competitive performance. The mild-hybrid system adds up to 90 lb.-ft of torque to give the truck V8-like pulling power.Â
