I don't know. I'm honestly a bit disappointed. Maybe I was expecting too much.
Even though I have a Colorado (2nd gen) and like it, the Ridgeline is still impressive to me.

A 4WD truck is generally going to get poorer fuel mileage.
My 2020 F-150 (2WD) averages 24 mpg on winter blend and 26 mpg on summer blend.
And, most are probably crew cabs, with 5’ beds.New two wheel drive trucks up here are rarely seen anymore. Dealers kept new two wheel drive trucks on the lot until around 2010, and then that was it.
If you do find one that is two wheel drive, it is a 1/2 ton, regular cab , 8' box... in white.
There are 132 new Silverado trucks within 100 miles. 130 of those are 4x4's.
What ratio rear end do you have?We'll see real world. My 21 escalade is supposed to average 17 but i regularly get just under 21 and that's considering i shut off auto stop start. With it on i get almost 23. And i don't hypermile or drive under the limit. I'm usually +5 on the speed limit. Though i don't accelerate hard so maybe that helps. The best mpg i can get out of it is at 37mph, it averages about 33mpg at that speed.
3.23. Wish it was lower though like 2.73 as i won't tow with it and I've done 80mph trips with it. Also wish i could've gotten it with a 5.3. it's plenty for it.What ratio rear end do you have?
My folks had a Canyona couple years ago and it was an electical nightmare. The air, heater, doorlocks and electric windows would quit at random times and stay off for hours. It was at the dealer a number of times and they could never trace the problem. Dad was 80 years old and had to get rid of it as he was tired of no heat in the middle of winter.The more I read about the new Colorado/Canyon, the more happy I am I didn't wait for it.
Right. It’s just the reality that you don’t need it very often if at all, ever.Horsepower is horsepower. Smaller displacement engines with forced induction may make more horsepower per liter but 300 horsepower regardless of displacement simply requires a minimum amount of fuel/air to make it. Sure, there may be some differences in efficiency but they're not huge and the end result is smaller boosted engines making the same power as larger naturally aspirated engines with only small increases in mpg.
Quick look—1998 S10 curb is 3k to 3,200? this newer truck lists 4,200 to 4,900. iirc yours is rcsb, albeit an iron lump 4.3, but on the lower end. Newer truck probably has more tire drag and wind drag if I had to guess.My 98 S-10 delivers those numbers. Sure it makes less power, but it’s more than adequate.
Agreed. My 1998 Chevy K1500 reg cab, short box w/ 4.3L and 4L60E would easily get that.My 98 S-10 delivers those numbers. Sure it makes less power, but it’s more than adequate.
S-10’s are great little trucks. I’ve got a 4.3 2001 2wd, 3.08 gears, 4L60e transmission. Mild engine work and tune. Still gets 28mpg on highway and can cruise easily with the rest of traffic with the taller gears.My 98 S-10 delivers those numbers. Sure it makes less power, but it’s more than adequate.
I don’t think detuning would do anything. EPA test probably has it barely idling along. Narrow tires and less wind drag—looks like an off road vehicle.A detuned 250Hp variant would be nice as I agree, not impressive.
