DETROIT (AP) — Chevrolet is upping the ante in the tug-of-war with Ford over America’s favorite vehicles: pickup trucks.

General Motors said Monday that its new Chevy Silverado will get 23 miles per gallon on the highway with a 5.3-liter V-8 engine. That’s a little better than similarly-equipped competitors from Ford, Chrysler and Toyota. The new trucks also promise more towing power.
