The 2009 Silverado is one of the easiest full-size pickups to drive, with great communicative steering and refined, responsive engines.
The 5.3-liter has plenty of power for most needs without much lower fuel economy than the base V-6.
The stadium-style rear seat that’s offered on the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado has a 60/40-split design, and it can be easily folded up to provide an uninterrupted load floor.
For extra versatility, either section of the split seat can be stowed independently, allowing room for both cargo and a rear-seat passenger, and the rear access doors on extended-cab models open 170 degrees.

The 2009 GMC Sierra features minor refinements and a few additions.
The Sierra is built on a stiff platform for a smooth ride and sharp handling. The GMC Sierra shares platforms with the Chevy Silverado but its exterior styling is quite different.
The 6.2-liter V8 used in the Denali is also available in regular trim Crew Cab pickups with four-wheel drive for more power and fuel consumption.
Sierra offers a choice of cab styles and bed lengths, and nine engine choices (of five sizes). There are limitations however, such as the biggest engine is limited to Crew Cabs, the 6-liter does not go in regular cab or extended cab long bed trucks, and manual transmissions are not offered.

If you have a four-wheel drive work truck, it’s a helpful option but it isn’t a cure-all for winter driving problems. Here are a couple of tips to help when you drive your work truck on snow or ice. The good news is, if you’re in Arkansas, snow and ice is not a real common problem!
Drive on Matching Tires
When you purchase a used work truck, be sure to kick the tires—and make sure the tires are the same size. Tires that differ in circumference can create handling problems and possible damage to the driveline (all the time, not just in snow). Make sure your work truck is properly equipped to handle all types of road conditions.
Slow Down for Curves
If your work truck is in a four wheel drive and you try to take a curve too fast on snowy roads, the truck’s front wheels can corkscrew, causing your work truck to go straight instead of turning. Just let up on the gas to correct the problem.

Use the Right Kind of Gas
Read your owner’s manual to find out which type of gas the manufacturer recommends for your vehicle. Use a good brand of gas, one with detergent additives that keep the system clean, but don’t buy more expensive premium if the automaker recommends regular.
Maybe you recently purchased a used work truck and the owner’s manual isn’t available. You can always find information on the internet about your used work truck and how to maintain the best service and what kind of gas to use.

Chevrolet Silverado is a versatile work truck that can haul and tow with ease, but can be configured with many of the same comfort features typically found in a luxury car.
Silverado’s suspension allows the truck to handle the heavy loads of a work truck without giving up ride comfort. GM’s recent focus has been on its hybrid Silverado and Sierra trucks, so the traditional models haven’t changed significantly since their last makeover in 2006.
What type of used vehicles do you purchase? If you need used work trucks, used flatbed trucks, used dump bed trucks, used utility trucks, used box trucks, used cargo vans or used passenger vans, you won’t find a more complete inventory in Arkansas with nearly 100 used vehicles in stock all the time.

After you purchase a used work truck, used cargo van, used box truck, used utility truck or other type of used work truck at T&B Auto, be sure to bookmark our blog so you can find out more ways to help your gas mileage in your work truck as you travel the Arkansas highways.
Don’t Haul Items You Don’t Need
When you are driving your work truck or cargo van on a daily basis, you’ll improve your gas mileage if you lighten the load. Remove unnecessary items from your work truck bed or cargo van.
Keep it Steady
Continuous up and down acceleration and braking lowers your gas mileage. Use your cruise control on the highway to help maintain a constant speed and take it slow and easy on starts and stops. Slow down a little in general if you can, because your work truck uses more gas when you drive at higher speeds.

With just some basic changes in your habits, you may be able to improve the gas mileage in your work truck. Have you recently purchased a used work truck? If so, have service done right away.
Use Your Air Conditioning Less
Okay, this is easy to say in the middle of a cold January… use your air conditioner less in your used work truck. Air conditioning makes the work truck use more gas, so turn it off when you can and roll down the windows.
If you just insist on running the a/c in your work truck or work van, reduce the a/c load by parking in the shade so that your work truck doesn’t heat up as much during short stops. Leave the windows or sunroof cracked slightly if you’ll be right back.

These gas mileage tips are applicable for work trucks, cargo vans, pickup trucks, flatbed trucks, utility trucks, passenger vans, dump bed trucks and box trucks. When buying a vehicle, used work trucks are always your best value.
Maintain Good Aerodynamics
Installing a bed cover on your pickup truck helps its aerodynamics. Air rushes over the cover and off the back of the work truck instead of into the bed where it pushes on the tailgate and creates drag that can make you use more gas.
Roof racks are handy sometimes, but carrying cargo on the roof creates drag that can increase your gas consumption. Keep your roof clear unless you actually need to haul something from one place to another.
Combine Trips
Especially when you are in your work truck during the day, do your best to combine your runs so that you can get everything you need during one trip, especially if you live a distance from shopping areas.
