29 MILES PER GALLON. IN A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE CREW CAB. FROM THE FACTORY.
That number is not ours. It is printed on the original window sticker of this 2024 Silverado 1500 RST, right under the Duramax badge: 9.6 L/100 km combined, which the same label converts to 29 mi/gal. That is what the 3.0 liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline six does in a Crew Cab Short Bed 4WD. Owners of half ton gas trucks read that twice.
The Duramax was a 4,190.00 dollar option on a truck that stickered at 72,004.00 dollars. Here is the rest of the build, straight off that label: Preferred Equipment Group 1SP, 20 inch gloss black painted aluminum wheels at 920.00, Slate Grey Metallic paint at 495.00, the integrated trailer brake controller at 350.00, all terrain blackwall tires at 250.00, the 7,200 pound GVWR package and the 3.23 rear axle at no charge, and the air conditioning charge at 100.00. Options totaled 6,205.00 before a 2,200.00 destination charge.
Now the part that matters on a truck with 83,343 miles. At 83,187 miles this Silverado went through a serious cooling and driveline refresh: radiator replaced, automatic transmission cooler replaced, an additional transmission cooler installed, transmission cooler lines replaced, engine oil cooler lines replaced, coolant flushed and changed, and the tailgate release switch replaced. At 83,335 miles the engine air filter and cabin air filter were replaced. Those are the parts that wear out on a working diesel and they are new.
CARFAX reports no accidents, no damage, and no structural damage. 18 service history records and 25 detailed records. No open recalls reported to CARFAX. The original factory warranty is estimated to have expired, so plan on that.
Picture the drive. Slate Grey over jet black, you press the button, the Duramax settles into that quiet diesel idle, and the 13.4 inch touchscreen with Google built in comes alive. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, so your phone stays in your pocket. Heated front seats and a heated wrapped steering wheel for a February morning in Kennewick. Dual zone climate. The 10-way power driver seat with lumbar and the 40/20/40 front bench with the armrest and underseat storage, which is where the paperwork and the thermos live.
Hook up at the ramp and the trailering package with hitch guidance, the integrated brake controller, StabiliTrak with trailer sway control, the auto locking rear differential and the AutoTrac transfer case all pull their weight. EZ Lift power lock and release tailgate. Cornerstep rear bumper, 12 tie downs in the bed, LED cargo area lighting, a 120 volt outlet in the bed and another on the dash, and front recovery hooks.
Chevy Safety Assist is standard: automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, following distance indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams. HD rear vision camera, LED reflector headlamps, LED fog lamps, LED signature daytime running lamps and LED taillamps. Remote start, keyless open and start, heated power adjustable mirrors, rear seat reminder, Teen Driver mode, and OnStar with Wi-Fi hotspot capability.
A diesel half ton that tows like a truck and drinks like a sedan, with the expensive cooling work already behind it. Come look it over at Archibald's, 6902 W Clearwater Ave in Kennewick, or call 509-737-1199.
