1/2 ton pickups fuel mileage ?
bobcat:
I have a 2024 Chevy Silverado crew cab with the 2.7. I've had it just over a year and it's got 12,000 miles on it. Overall average gas mileage is 23.6. I'm pretty happy with that, it's much better than my 2002 Silverado that averages about 14 mpg.

At 15,000 mi/yr and $4/gal gas the savings is ~$1150/yr if going from 16mgp to 23mpg. Going to take a lot of years of fuel savings to make up for the presumably higher cost of the new vehicle and the associated insurance increase.
Drive it into the dirt then buy the best you can when it comes time for the next one....

2013 F-150 non-turbo V8. 225k miles. Was 17.3mpg forever, now 16.1mpg for the past year. There is no way I would replace her with a new (or somebody else's used) truck just for better mileage. I have decided to drive her until she dies, which should not happen for several more years.

Yep. 2014 F150 Supercrew 4x4. 189K on her. 15-16 around town. Good as 21 empty on highway with 5.0 rolling 10 ply tires. I’d buy my truck all over again in a heartbeat.

I've got a '23 Chevy with the 3.0 duramax. I get 27-28 if under 75. I get up to 33 if under 60mph. I have 36k on it and only had to have a fuel sensor replaced. I think its a good truck but not a good engine if you are just doing quick trips.

I know someone who deleted their 1500 Ram, it gets really good mileage now, stinks a bit.🤣
