2. Chevrolet Colorado (22/30)

One of the most efficient pickup trucks on the market is Chevy Colorado. This version of the Colorado makes 181 horsepower from its 2.8-liter four-cylinder Duramax engine, which comes paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy ratings come in at 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. Although the turbo diesel Colorado is an expensive version of this compact pickup, at $37,245, it’s a smart choice.
