Chevrolet’s 2010 Silverado XFE Pickup Is a Fuel-sipper
This smooth-running truck is optimized with the latest powertrain technology.

Of the nearly two dozen different variations of Chevy pickups available, there is one model that combines all of the technologies that were designed with fuel efficiency as the first priority.

Chevy pickups are available in three body styles – a two-door regular cab, and four-door Extended and “Crew Cab” models. Each of these is available with five-foot, nine-inch- or eight-foot-long boxes on the back.

What’s more, the light-duty 1500 series pickups have five different engines available, ranging from a V6 to four V8s from 4.8-liters to 6.2-liters in displacement. The $34,220 (MSRP) XFE model (eXtra Fuel Efficiency) takes a rear-drive four-door Crew Cab with the lighter short bed and adds the lightweight aluminum-block LC9-designated V8 (there is a heavier iron-block 5.3-liter engine), which is equipped with a cylinder cut-out system, as well as the ability to run on E85, an ethanol and gasoline blended fuel that’s available as a lower-cost alternative to straight gasoline.
