I had radio and apple carplay issues for the first six months I had the truck but the last six months have been flawless. (Knock on wood)

I have a Silverado in the same configuration and I agree with everything you said. Does yours sometimes shift hard into 1st gear?

Nice review my guy. I lol every time you say full sized adults lmfao. I guess most of us know at least one half size lmfaoooo

Everyone doing these mileage tests locks in the cruise control which is fine for perfectly flat roads. However, with the combination of turbo's, increased freeway speeds and even moderately hilly terrain allot better mileage can be had without it. Watch the instant mileage and learn the threshold for where it down shifts and keep it just above that and from downshifting on the slight grades and overpasses by sacrificing a little speed and letting it overrun a little bit on the downside by giving it just enough throttle to keep it out of engine braking and it will surprise you how much the mileage improves.

I have had a 2wd 19 Double cab rst since new and if my wife is driving (closer to 75) it will get 22-24 mpg on the highway. If I'm driving... usually +9 of that it never breaks 20 like usually 17-18 and if there is a head wind less. Around town I usually get 24 or so driving moderately. Seems like the newer max engine is more thirsty and if you have 4x4 mileage suffers even more. If not for that and the ridiculous prices I would be tempted to trade mine in but the same truck is like 50% more I paid for my 19.

Does your start stop feature work? I have a 24' 1500 Elevation and it works intermittently. I hate the feature so i turn it off, but it should still work as it should.. so strange.

I mean pushing a full size truck through the air at 75mph is going to suck no matter what. You're putting the engine at very high load, which is not where these small displacement turbo motors are supposed to improve MPG. They improve it where a large V8 would normally be at low load. Last time i took my F150 Ecoboost on 300 mile 75mph road trip I think I averaged about 16 mpg. Doing 65mph it would do 21-22.

My 2024 Trailboss with the 3.0L diesel is getting 24mpg at 130kmh/80mph. Apparently the trims without an off-road package will do even better, so I’m told

65mph doesnt put as much load (wind resistance) as 75mph, more load=more boost= more gas

3.0 diesel is most likely the best for economy, as long as you can maintain it yourself.

Needs 2 more gears

I was driving a 2.7L Silverado for a few weeks. on the highway it was getting me close to 26mpg. Dont know whats going on here. My Colorado Zr2 with 33s and the 2.7L gets 17-18 hwy

seriously? you trip counter says 14.7 miles 24.2 mpg 20 minutes, and 101.6 miles 15.9 mpg 1 hr 23 mins. Do you know how trip meter works? this video is pointless. Run the trip meter with same miles driven and same time driven on the same route, then compare MPG.

I’m assuming the cylinder deactivation at high speeds kills the mpg. Running on 2 cylinders going 75 idk..

There’s a lot of factors in fuel economy. Few of the big ones: speed, temperature, wind, and elevation changes.

GM is losing a lot of customers with all the fake gadgets claiming to improve gas milage, engines failing, small engines turbo charged , lifter failures etc. Lost this customer. Start stop engines that require a very expensive battery.

How’s the 2.7 Turbomax going? How do you like it compared to a v8?

Great video and cool little engine. One note on the v8s, there is a bit of lifter failure in those.

Hows the engine so far?

Wow, sorry to hear the problems.. seems all the brands are doing this. Seems to be on purpose at this point.

This is true a beautiful truck and awesome review thank you would like to know what hood struts u used?

This is the exact truck I purchased I have the premium although I didn’t need all the goodie’s however I’ve driven Toyotas for the past 20 years n this is my last one ❤️

A[[ the improvements look great. The overlays look like they came from the factory.

I’m a die hard Toyota for almost 4+ decades and they’re no better than anyone these days. Stay away from the new tundra’s…

This cured my erectile dysfunction

I think they owe you a new truck vs. a truck that was factory built then rebuilt at the dealership. (Oil leak) I don't think it will ever be quite the same. Any manufacturer can mess up a seal at the factory so it's not a GM thing. Once the engine or trans has to be removed and parts taken off, it's not new.

Let’s keep reminding people this engine comes with a 5yr 100k power train warranty from gm just like the diesel.

Looks great!

I've had two consecutive chevy 1500's. I drove the first truck 240 K miles, original engine. My current 2009 has 84K miles (I'm retired so I only drive about 4K miles/year now). Both engines had chronic main seal leaks. My experience is the main seal lasts about 20K miles. In 2016 I was told the main seal was leaking again. I declined the repair. I'm still driving the truck without incident. I recently had the truck serviced at a chevy dealer. Again I was told about the leak. I declined the repair again. The leak has not gotten any worse and it doesn't leak enough to need oil added between oil changes. Both truck engines are 5.3L v-8's. It sounds like your 2.7L engine had a much more serve leak than either of my engines. I can only say that 34 years of experience driving chevy's had proven to me that if the engine doesn't leak, then there's no oil in the engine.

Junk engine!!😢😢😢

I have the identically configured truck, a 2023 model in the Copper Metallic (a color just discontinued BTW) and I completely agree with your review except for the transmission lurching, I haven't experienced that but then again you have a different version of the 8L90 transmission (it was updated for 2024) so it could just be a programming issue. I am also slightly hard of hearing in the low range but the engine doesn't sound or feel rough to me, but then again that could just be my ears are not as sensitive as they once were. You mentioned the rpms and I agree. I find that my driving style makes the vehicle very rarely crack 3000 rpms. One reason I bought the truck over the 5.3 is the fact that it will hold 8th gear going up an incline and just build boost to provide the torque instead of downshifting. Even though everyone raves about the 10-speed, I prefer this truck with the 8-speed because paired with the 430 lb/ft of torque, it rarely shifts at all leading to a very relaxing and quiet driving experience.

Do u have the Amazon link for the black badging overlays I cannot locate thank u

For the tint I suggest to do a 70% ceramic tint for the windshield & a 50% ceramic for the front driver/passenger windows This suggestion is simply bc you mentioned you want the heat protection On my truck I went with 10% rear windows & 30% front windows & windshield it was extremely dark during the day and at night I didn’t notice a difference What I did notice compared to my other vehicles, is that I didn’t have to use the ac on full blast I always keep it at the lowest setting and I’m comfortable with that and with passengers in the truck I don’t need to go more than two turns on the settings knob to have everyone feel comfortable as well The only downside is that with my 2.7 gmc at roughly 92k I had a misfire issue and the dealership diagnosed it with needing a new engine bc there was internals that broke Which is a mystery to me bc I bought it brand new and I would change the engine oil every 5k Nonetheless, I did get the extended warranty so they paid for the bill

Oh my goodness, I feel bad for you. That is not something you want on a new vehicle. I would trade it after a major repair like that. I feel that it will never gat back to new.

These Toyota "1 ton" dually trucks remind me of my uncle. My dad and my uncle were partners in a battery business (sold everytjing from car batteries to commercial vehicle batteries to batteries for some solar systems) and of course bought junks to sell to recyclers. My uncle was kind of a shit head tbh and was backwards with his money saving priorities, he would go to $500 lunches but was super anal about fuel and demanded we always took the smallest truck, even if he knew it was too small for the job and knew we were going to severely overload it. One time he was driving I5 north coming out of LA and had probably 150 junk batteries on his little Toyota "1 ton" dually flatbed. He hit a horrible pothole and SNAPPED THE AXLE. Damn near killed him and took somebody else with him, the load shifted and he lost some batteries on the highway. When he called my pops to tell hin what happened by dad laughed at him and said "i told you so". My ubcle actually believed these things could haul a ton or more. Spoiler: they couldnt. These things were a joke and were sold to blind Toyota loyalists and people that had no idea about weight or hauling. Phisher Price should have sold these to children as toys and called them "My First Dually" 😂😂😂😂

I have similar connection issues with my 24 Silverado using Android Auto, FYI. Guessing it's an infotainment issue.

Where was the engine made ? Look on your window sticker it tells you on the bottom right. I have a 22 refresh custom trail boss with the 2.7 and haven’t had any issues my truck, engine and transmission were all made in the U.S.A. In Indiana. Odd to see that on a brand new vehicle. But if it was made in Mexico maybe that’s why. Good luck.

I have a ‘23 Custom Trail Boss, and I agree with every point you made. For me, it appears the lurching is a major delay in the truck downshifting to 1st. I've had a few close calls when inching up to my garage door.

Lawnmower engine!!

Whats the website where you got the TURBOMAX badge?

My 2018 GMC Sierra SLT crew cab Z71 consistently got 22 mpg highway on trips. And, it had 4wd hi, low, and automatic. Before I bought this truck, I test drove a Tacoma. For the price of the Toy, and lack of MPG, hp, cabin space and especially comfort, I didn't even consider it. Only thing I didn't like about my GMC was the 6 speed transmission. Hard 1-2 shifts and the transmission in park, in a parking lot would randomly clunk so hard that I had thought I had been hit by someone. And, I had the heated and cooled seats. The seats after about an hour driving became uncomfortable. I had a 2023 Ram Rebel, that had a better ride, way better seating comfort.....BUT, I never got over 15 mpg ever on highway trips, the mpg utterly sucked. Loved the truck, hated the gas mileage. So, I traded it for a new Mustang GT, LOL.

Nice review. I bought a brand new 2019 Silverado Custom Trail Boss double cab with 5.3 and 5 yrs later, not one issue. I love it more and more each day. I thought I would miss the leather, crew cab space, luxury features, etc., but I don't. It has everything I want and nothing I don't want. I might look at a Colorado Trail Boss in the future, but it would be hard not to get another Silverado or Sierra.

CHEVY😂🤣

I have the same 2.7 engine in a 2023 Silverado and love it... No problems at all with 10k miles on it. The sound I got use to after a while of ownership. The truck sounds like the small diesel engine while idling. You really only hear the motor under Excelleration. I have no regrets with mine.😁

Loved that colour! My next truck

What towing package do these elevation’s come with? And do they come with a intergraded electronic trailer brake controller? It does not seem to be clear on GMC website, lol.

How is your fuel economy so far in the city and hwy ?

Nice rig, but I can't stomach the turbo's or afm motors

I enjoyed your video. especially the steps. I will get those for my GMC. Mine is the graphic edition. The rear doors are smaller than yours. Are you going to change out the interior lights to LED'S? I am very impressed with the power that little turbo max 2.7 engine puts out. I only have 3000 miles on mine so no problems yet.

this is why I get the lower trim truck without all those extra trim pieces .. just find over time all that stuff fades and or rattles
