GM Sticks to Diesel for Redesigned Silverado and Sierra Pickups
What happened
General Motors Company is maintaining its diesel engine strategy for the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. These full-size pickups will feature an upgraded 3.0-liter diesel engine and an optional fuel tank capable of providing over 900 miles of highway range. This approach differs from the strategies of Ford and Stellantis, which are reportedly leaning more heavily into hybrid powertrains for their light-duty pickups.

Why it matters
The Silverado and Sierra are among GM’s most important profit generators, and the diesel strategy could protect the company’s profitability. Current four-wheel-drive diesel models achieve about 24 mpg, which is cited as being slightly above the 23 mpg of the Ford hybrid F-150 according to federal ratings.
Stellantis, General Motors, and Ford are facing market pressures due to tariffs and competition.
