Pretty truck. Hope the seats are comfortable enough. Only negative thing I remember reading in the Consumer Report review. They said the same thing about the seats in my 2006 Ford Ranger pickup...and they were right. Guy around the corner had a jacked up one same colour as my RAV4..Mica something (brown)



The seats are ok...for a truck. :) Surprisingly, all the adjustments
you can make are made manually...no "power seats" That was a bummer,
but mostly everything else is pretty neat. I'm "averaging" 21 mpg for
the suburban driving around here, but the one time I had it up to 65
mph, the mpg indicator went up to 27 mpg in sixth gear. I don't know how
accurate that sort of thingie is, though.

What was it when you put your foot back on the gas? ;-)



I'll try it and pay closer attention. I think it indicated about 9 mpg
when I started accelerating from a dead stop in first gear. There's so
many "devices" that I haven't gotten used to on this truck, I'm pretty
busy just keeping it on the road. The "nav" feature is pretty good, but
I have yet to figure out how to get it to shut up.

There may be an 'instantaneous' and an 'average' which you have to designate.

There's a "tank" average and an instant average, but I haven't put more
than 100 miles on the truck, so all I really have is the instant reading.

On the Silverado the 'average' covers all the miles since I last reset it.

You can get average and I stand average. Total average, and then personnel
and business averages. I use those for tank and trip ever ages.

I know what you mean. I hate the nav, particularly when I know where I
am. It is just another distraction.
I did use it in Michigan but I cranked the volume way down. It mutes
the sound system so I knew when it was trying to tell me something. I
pretty much knew where I was going so it was really just prompting me
to the next turn.
The MPG thing is fun to play with for a while. I had it in my old 86
Chrysler LeBaron. After a while I just selected another display. It
was fun on the skyway bridge, getting it to peg at 99 MPG coasting
down the back side.
You just have to be careful and not be "playing with your DIC" (Driver
Information Center) and run into the back of a truck.
I think they are every bit as distracting as talking on the phone.

The ones I have seen do both in separate displays. When we are
renting, I usually put it on "miles to empty". That is the one you
really need to watch out west when stations are few and far between.

I use a Garmin for nav. The GM nav is in the low center of the dash, making me take
eyes well off the road to see. Besides, it was last updated in 2009, and I'm too
cheap to spend the $180, or whatever, to get a new DVD.

Not sure what you mean. I can get only one average mpg on mine, unless I reset it for
each trip, which I've done just to see what the interstate mpg is, between 22 and 23
mpg.

Yeah, I push the button again to get 'range'. It's pretty accurate, but it's based on
the current mileage, not the old average. Sometimes, if I'm pulling the trailer, the
range may be 200 miles. Then I'll drop off the trailer and after a few miles the
range will increase. Weird, but it makes sense.
