Thrifty Daytona Beach drivers will like that the Silverado 1500 gets 23 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway with its turbodiesel powertrain and rear-wheel drive. The Sierra 1500 gets 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway with a similar setup.

Interior Design

While both trucks have roomy, well-built cabs, we think most people in Tampa will prefer the GMC Sierra 1500's interior. Its nicely crafted cab features padded and soft-touch surfaces throughout. Sierra 1500 Denali trims have leather upholstery and wood and aluminum accents that measure up well against luxury vehicles. The Chevy Silverado 1500 has a nice interior, though hard plastics still abound in some areas.
