Looks like you need to spend some time looking up numbers at fueleconomy.gov
Ridgeline (4 Dr - AWD) : 15 cty/20 hwy
Silverado (4 Dr - 4WD) [4.3L]: 14/18
Silverado (4 Dr - 4WD) [5.3L]: 14/19
Silverado (4 Dr - 4WD) [6.0L]: 13/17
Both are bad, but the Silverado is slightly worse.
One major advantage of a unibody is savings in weight which is apparent:
Ridgeline (4 Dr - AWD): 4513 lbs
Silverado (4Dr - 4WD): 5326 lbs
Both are classified by the EPA as "Large Pickup"
How about Kia come out with a small unibody pickup equivalent in size to what a Toyota Tacoma was 15 years ago? Now that, I bet, would sell!
