Not great. If I'm gentle on the throttle on the highway doing 65-70 I can hit 21-22mpg. Short trips under 20 all the time. It's not a Ridgeline (I like the Ridgeline a lot).What kind of mileage are you seeing?

I’m up in the far north west jersey. Been looking at these. Any thoughts on the new 4cyl turbo ?Just hit one year on the ZR2 - 9,500 miles. It's been a joy to drive, on and off-road. I've had it off-road a dozen times in the Pine Barrens, and Brigantine beach in NJ. Hauled a few small couches for some family members and a 75" TV. 90% of the time the bed is empty. It's been very reliable so far other than a faulty 4WD actuator switch, which was a simple fix under warranty.
I like the LGZ 3.6L V6. No oil consumption. Decent power. The 8 speed so far hasn't given me any problems. I did get on one occasion a jerky shift from 2 to 3 or 3 to 4. It hasn't done so since. I now drive it a bit more aggressively and I think that helps. When you're sometimes too light on the throttle I feel it gets tripped up a bit.
The truck drives great. The DSSV's are nice. The interior is the weak spot, however, the plastic surfaces are very easy to clean and I appreciate that.
I ran the OE fill to 3k miles. Put in Amsoil SS. Took the truck to the dealer to get just the tires rotated and the guy ended up changing the oil on my putting in whatever bulk oil they were using. I recently dumped it and put in M1 EP 5w30. Might try ESP 5w30 next.
Plan is to keep it for at least 3 years. I'm always torn with having a truck. They can really come in handy when you need one, but the majority of the time I feel like they're a waste. I work from home so it sits in the driveway all day. It does see its fair share of short trips (
I coated it with Can Coat about 10 months ago. Held up extremely well.

Meh. I myself like oil analyses, dyno charts of comparison testing, and the human advertising at race paddocksFolks here like water beading pictures almost as much as they like oil filters cut open pics.
Buster - sorry I missed this thread - That was really my 1st choice B4 the Rubicon but after getting a new utility trailer life goes on … Just never found a deal - Well - the 2023 Canyon AT-4 will be hard to ignore …It seems like will be a good engine, but too soon to tell. It's been used in the Silverado. I think the Gen 3 will be better in every way to the Gen 2 that I have. I have a 22 so most of the issues have been worked out. The LGZ is a good engine (3.6L). I wouldn't go with the Duramax if you're looking at the Gen2's.
The 23's are really nice. Especially the AT-4.Buster - sorry I missed this thread - That was really my 1st choice B4 the Rubicon but after getting a new utility trailer life goes on … Just never found a deal - Well - the 2023 Canyon AT-4 will be hard to ignore …
Dang … Bet he didn’t get the red tow hooks
More and more are finding the Trail Boss a happy medium at a good price - bit more tow capacity as well …The 23's are really nice. Especially the AT-4.
