How many miles can a 2015 Chevy Silverado go on a full tank of gas?

On a full tank, a 2015 Silverado can typically travel about 450–600 miles, depending on engine choice, drivetrain, and driving conditions.

Tank capacity and range basics

The Silverado 1500's fuel tank is 26 gallons in most configurations. To estimate range, multiply the tank capacity by the vehicle’s miles-per-gallon (MPG) for your engine and drivetrain. The figures below use typical EPA-style estimates for common setups.

Estimated range figures below assume a full 26-gallon tank and typical driving patterns for common engine/drivetrain combinations.

• 2WD with 4.3L V6: about 450–480 miles on a full tank (roughly 16–18 MPG combined).


• 2WD with 5.3L V8: about 470–520 miles (roughly 18–19 MPG combined).


• 4x4 with 5.3L V8: about 420–480 miles (roughly 17–18 MPG combined).


• 2WD with 6.2L V8: about 420–470 miles (roughly 17–18 MPG combined).


• 4x4 with 6.2L V8: about 380–440 miles (roughly 16–17 MPG combined).

Note: Real-world range varies with payload, terrain, driving style, wind resistance, tire pressure, and maintenance. On long highway trips at steady speeds, highway MPG can push the range toward about 600 miles on a full tank.

Summary

In practice, you can expect roughly 380–600 miles on a full tank of gas in a 2015 Silverado, depending on engine, drivetrain, and how you drive. For planning, using the 26-gallon tank and the EPA-estimated MPG for your exact configuration provides the most accurate estimate.

How many miles can a Silverado 1500 go on a full tank?

The gas mileage for a Chevy Silverado 1500 varies by engine and drivetrain, with the most fuel-efficient option being the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine, which can get up to 23 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. Other gasoline engines have lower ratings, such as the 2.7L Turbo at 18 mpg city/22 mpg highway (2WD) and the 5.3L V8 at 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway (2WD). Factors like the drivetrain (2WD vs. 4WD), tire type, and specific trim level also impact the final mileage figures.
 
By engine

• 2.7L Turbo:
  • 2WD: 18 mpg city / 22 mpg highway
  • 4WD: 18 mpg city / 21 mpg highway
• 5.3L V8:
  • 2WD: 16 mpg city / 22 mpg highway
  • 4WD: 15 mpg city / 20 mpg highway
• 6.2L V8:
  • 4WD: 15 mpg city / 20 mpg highway
• 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel:
  • 2WD: 23 mpg city / 29 mpg highway
  • 4WD: 23 mpg city / 27 mpg highway 

Other factors that affect mileage

• Drivetrain: Configurations with 4-wheel drive generally have slightly lower fuel economy than 2-wheel drive models. 
• Tires: Trucks equipped with mud-terrain tires will have reduced mileage compared to those with standard tires. 
• Trim level: Certain trims, like the off-road-focused ZR2, may have different mileage ratings due to their specialized equipment.

How many miles can a 2015 Silverado go?

On average, drivers should expect to get somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 miles out of their pickup, but with precision care that's always completed on time, may be able to extend its life up to 250,000 miles.

What is the gas mileage on a 2015 Chevy Silverado?

The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado gas mileage varies by engine and drivetrain, with the 5.3L V8 in a 2WD model rated at about 18 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, and a 4WD model getting around 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. The 6.2L V8 gets similar mileage, around 16 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. Real-world mileage can be lower depending on driving conditions, such as towing, and modifications to the vehicle.
 
EPA estimated fuel economy 

• 2WD: Approximately 18 mpg city / 22 mpg highway
• 4WD: Approximately 17 mpg city / 22 mpg highway
• 6.2L V8 (specific models): About 16 mpg city / 20 mpg highway 

Factors that can affect gas mileage

• Towing: Towing significantly decreases fuel economy. For example, a 2015 Silverado towing a horse trailer achieved about 7.55 mpg. 
• Tires and wheels: Larger or off-road tires can lower gas mileage. 
• Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as frequent hard acceleration or braking, will result in lower mileage. 
• Engine and trim: Different engine sizes and specific vehicle trims (like the Z71) can have slight variations in their mileage ratings. 

How many miles per gallon does a 2015 5.3 get?
