Extended cab pickups have a vast array of benefits that make them appealing buys. There’s the spacious interior designed to fit passengers comfortably. Then there’s the technological features, with many models offering everything from terrain mapping to hands-free calling.
However, as many buyers can attest, the truck’s fuel efficiency can often be the determining factor in whether it’s the right purchase. AxleGeeks examined each 2015 extended cab pickup model to identify the nine that deliver the best fuel efficiency.
2015 Nissan Titan S
The 2015 Nissan Titan delivers a combined fuel efficiency of only 15 miles per gallon making it 17 percent less efficient than the average output of other trucks in its class.
2015 Toyota Tundra SR
With a combined output of 17 mpg—55 percent factored into its 15 city mpg and 45 percent for its 19 highway mpg—the 2015 Toyota Tundra’s efficiency aligns with expectations for a truck of its size.
2015 Nissan Frontier S
This model earns up to 19 miles per gallon in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, making its 21 combined mpg average for its class.
2015 GMC Sierra 1500
