Fuel-Efficient Pickup Truck

Top 5 New Fuel-Efficient Pickup Trucks to Buy In 2022

New Fuel-Efficient Pickup Truck The last thing that may come to mind when one thinks of buying a truck is fuel efficiency. The truck has not showcased the fuel efficiency that buyers may often take into when buying the truck. But gone are those days as the modern trucks as they have better fuel economy than what usually comes to mind when one thinks of the truck. Especially among the smaller, lighter midsize pickups and new compact trucks equipped with -sipping diesel engines and hybrid powertrain options are increasing in popularity and are offering greater fuel efficiency. So, if you are on the hunt for a new fuel-efficient pickup truck in 2022, here is a list of compact, midsize, and full-size pickups that offer even up to 30 mpg on the highway.

2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid

This truck surely has broken the standard marks when it comes to fuel economy. It offers whopping fuel efficiency of 37-mp. The truck’s size and hybrid powertrain made it possible for this truck to achieve a fuel efficiency of nearly 40 mpg. The base model with front-wheel-drive utilizes Escape SUV’s hybrid powertrain. This means it is powered by a 2.5-liter I-4 with an electric motor to produce 191 hp combined. The power output is the same as that of Hyundai Santa Cruz’s entry-level non-hybrid 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.

2022 Ram 1500 2WD EcoDiesel

The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel brings its superior highway fuel economy to the table. The fuel efficiency is even more than that of GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado diesel which could achieve 26 mpg combined and achieve the mark of 33-mpg highway performance. Ram offers 1500 EcoDiesel in two variants. One variant of these two offers the HFE (High Fuel Economy). The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel with two-wheel-drive offers 26-mpg-combined, which is further dropped by one less mpg in the city.

2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2WD Diesel

A full-size, diesel-powered Chevy Silverado 1500 ranks third among the most new fuel-efficient pickup trucks available. This light-duty vehicle has the same 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six as the GMC Sierra, which means it gets the same 26 mpg. It gets 31 mpg on the interstate and 23 mpg in the city, giving it a one mpg advantage over the GMC on the highway. Even Chevy’s optional turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine, which is a rarity among full-size pickups, is outperformed by the diesel engine and 10-speed transmission in terms of fuel economy.

2022 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD Diesel

The full-size GMC Sierra with diesel power gets greater fuel efficiency than the Canyon diesel. The diesel inline-six in the larger vehicle is also larger and more powerful than the inline-four in the smaller Canyon. You’ll get greater city mpg (23 to 20) in the Sierra diesel, the same 30 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined. Only the Sierra double cab (extended cab) and four-door crew cab models come with the smooth, torquey Duramax diesel engine, which gets the best fuel economy with two-wheel drive.

2022 Ford Maverick FWD 2.0L Turbo

The new compact Ford Maverick with its optional, more powerful engine has made it to the list of the best fuel-efficient pickups for 2022. That’s right: when mated with front-wheel drive, this step-up 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine returns 26 mpg combined (and up to 30 mpg highway). Even with all-wheel drive, the statistic reduces to a still impressive 25 mpg combined. However, they are the least fuel-efficient Mavericks available; the tiny pickup’s regular hybrid powertrain outperforms this model.
