- What’s up guys! Here’s another 2023 Chevy Silverado Review! This one is a Custom with the 2.7 Turbo spiny boy! It’s a pretty stout 4 cylinder mates to the 8 speed automatic. Overall it’s a pretty sweet truck and in Glacier Blue Metallic a good looking one as well!

I got the 2023 Silverado Custom and the truck has truly grown on me. I really enjoy driving this truck everyday and every time I get in it. The only negative thing I would say about my 2023 Silverado Custom is that, I don't get good gas mileage from this engine. Nevertheless I have never known any turbo engine to get good gas mileage. However I'm impressed with this High Output engine. So far so good. Now I miss the rumble of my 2019 Silverado LD with the 5.3 v8 and the better gas mileage. Howbeit the purr of this 2.7L 4 banger 310hp, High Output turbo engine with 420 lbs of torque sounds pretty sweet and will move with the best of them. Now we wait for the longevity and reliability of this engine. I think you will be impressed with this truck, though.
Congrats on your 23, which color did you choose? Those carryover LD were cool, especially in 2019 when I was less fond of this new generation’s exterior. I have yet to own a full size truck (I’ve owned a couple Tacoma’s and an FJ). But have always thought highly of the 5.3, but after driving these little turbo trucks at altitude they’re extremely impressive, and sound great for stock, lol.
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Summit White. I have had it since November of last year and it's a little bit above my budget, but I truly like this truck. It's meeting my needs as a work truck and daily driver.
What are you getting for gas mileage since you stated you don't get good gas mileage?
@@josephharvey5742 I get about 20 in my 22 LT with 2.7HO. It drops to around 16 city when im going stop and go but driving on minor highways with some pretty frequent stops I get around 20
My Turbo Hyundai gets 35mph and puts out more HP. Lol Chevy engine is crap
Nice Custom Silverado truck. This iteration of the 2.7 turbo has been upgraded and strengthened, made for serious long term truck use. My concern is how expensive these trucks are. People have to pay too much for them.
I agree, how to low trim level trucks cost as much as they do?! 🥲
This iteration of the 2.7 was built from the ground up as a truck engine so...
Dang bro, your channel is so underrated with likes...this is quality content and yes, I just bought a used 2020 Chevrolet Custom 4x4 with the 2.7L Turbo
Haha thanks man, that means a lot! I started it 7 months ago as a hobby and outlet from the stress of working in healthcare. As well as an opportunity/excuse to drive some cool stuff! Congrats on your sweet turbo Custom! And thanks for watching. 🙂
Great review!! Love this truck! Simplicity and style
It was a fun one to drive! Thanks for watching.🙂
I get truck price tags are high but it is hard to cram a few deer in the trunk of a BMW
You’re not wrong. 😝😉
I just learned something important about my Silverado Custom tonight on my way back from a road trip. I needed to clear some traffic, and I got into my tank, and she shot off like a rocket. However, Chevy has governed these 2.7L turbo engines to top out at 98 mph. The message flashed on my screen, Limited to 98 mph. So don't get in a high speed chase with the police if you own one of these trucks. I normally don't get in my tank like that but it's good to know that I can't go no faster than 98 mph.
I’m glad you know it’s limitations! Lol Thanks for sharing that factory tune/governed speed. 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 You are more than welcome.
I have a 2022 gmc regular cab with the 2.7 pro and really like the engine and how it drives. Very smooth a quiet. My son liked it also s he bought a identical one.
Glad you guys are enjoying them. I’ve always loved regular cab Chevys, to bad they don’t make short beds any longer in that cab configuration. Thanks for watching! 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 luckily both of ours are short beds.
Oh very nice! 😀 I actually mean the “short bed” which currently is the 5.8’ one on the larger cabs vs. the “standard” that’s around 6.6’ on the regular cab. I know it’s basically the same thing. 😅I had some friends back in the day with regular cab “short beds” although I don’t remember what those models length were, they looked sweet! 🙂
How’s the Mpg I’m looking at a crew cab 4x4 2.7 I drove it briefly I was impressed with it being a 4 cylinder for sure
@@christopherwilson7698 winter mileage around town is 17 and freeway drive at 80 mph is between 19 and 20. Mine has the 3.42 gears. I think with summer gas I might get 1 mpg better.
That blue paint is beautiful
I'm seeing Customs (exactly like this one) listed on line at $33,000 to $34,000. The days of paying full sticker price are quickly fading away.
That’s awesome, it’s about time! 😀
Where is this?
@@damaddawgJupiter lol. There is not way.
To Joseph Harvey, it depends on the speed that I set my cruise control to: when I set my cruise control to 85 mph, I get 18-19 mpg. When I set my cruise control at 80 mph, I get between 20-21 mpg. I imagine if you drive on the highway at 65, you probably would get close to 24 mpg. However, on a long trip, I usually cruise 10 mph over the speed limit.
That’s not bad! Thanks for sharing your MPG experiences. In the next couple days I’ll publicly publish my review of the 2.7 Colorado and a 0-60 between it and the 2.7 Silverado. Let me say, it’s quite stout in that mid sized truck! 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 The 310 hp, 430 torque is not bad in the Silverado either. I just plain and simple enjoy driving my Silverado. Now it's just a matter of durability and reliability on this 2023 2.7L engine.
Oh for sure, with the power band they have it’s way more powerful than trucks use to be. I’ve been hearing the best reliability is the 2.7 and 3.0 diesel due to the V8’s fuel management lifter/cam problems that can develop.
I don't know about any bad things about that truck but I'm driving one and its awesome power and fuel savings vs the gas hungry 5.3l v8 I had but was a great truck though and 2.7L turbo does double the mileage on average than your money hungry v8's out there.Really enjoy it especially the price of gas now a days we all need something that will be gas efficient don't you think.great review on the truck good to know about that secret compartment they didn't tell me about the center consol area thanks for that.we enjoy the ride better than the older trucks for ride too.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it! The turbo 4 is definitely a good option in this world where gas is so expensive. Thanks for sharing and watching, I’m glad the review was helpful! 🙂
9:30 that was the best teleport transition I have ever seen
Thanks for watching! 😎
Hey buddy, excellent review video on the Custom. I was curious about the 5.3 Liter V8 on this model. Are you seeing them often or at all,at any dealership near you? If so,do you happen to know the MSRP? No worries if you haven't just thought I'd ask. Thank you for the information on the new Chevy,I absolutely love that color. Steve O
There are other Chevy dealers close by but I haven’t looked at their inventory much or tried to film with as I’m not as impressed with their ownership and business practices, like I am with this dealer. I don’t know the rhyme or reason behind it, but most of the Silverado’s in this area are the turbo rather than the 5.3, and I see $500-4,000 below MSRP often! Hope that helps. 🙂
Lease or purchase? What’s the better option?
I’m not a certified financial advisor, so I can only share that I personally would never release a vehicle. It’s ‘often’ the most expensive way to operate a vehicle. Best of luck! 🙂
i bet this engine would feel fast in a single cab shortbed 2wheel drive,be a good format for a affordable sport truck,throw a 3;73 locking rear in with lowered ride height and some factory 20s and keep it under 50grand
Very nice Truck!
That’s for sure! Thanks for watching. 🙂
I get that it’s a near base model, but for that price they could of had heated seats and steering wheel and an auto function for the HVAC.
Seriously!! 🤦♂️😝
Got the Same truck a few months ago. Paid 56k so it wasn’t much of a budget truck for me😢 enjoying it so far though and hope the turbos hold up
It’s crazy how expensive trucks have become! But I’m glad you’re enjoying yours and I’ve only been hearing good things about the 2.7 reliability. 🙂
I’m about to grab one for 42k
@@Mariolira10 I just bought this exact truck minus the 4x4 for 43k
Okay, I will try that.
I got a dealership that has the same custom.. I’m considering getting it. You think it would be a good idea to purchase it??
It might be! As long as you’re paying well under sticker and a lot of people like their Customs, and the 2.7T is apparently Chevys MOST reliable truck engine these days, lol. 😂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208yeah it’s not high as in the video. It cost bout 36k with 13k mileage and it’s really smooth and clean
I brought my 2022 Silverado back in October and I really love it. Glacier Blue could've been my choice but they only had one on the lot and it had 3500 miles, so I settled for Summit White.
Summit White is a great option, glad you found the one you love! Thanks for watching. 🙂
A guy I worked alongside had a work truck with the 2.7 that he put 100k miles on in about 4 years. He hated it because of the sound and said it really wasnt enough for serious towing (he hauled a scissor lift around about half the time. ) However the only thing that broke on the truck was the transmission. No motor problems at all.
I’m not surprised to hear about another GM transmission failure. But very impressive to hear the engine held up so well, especially against that load! Thanks for sharing and for watching! 🙂
sounds like he should had got a 2500
@@gottabsleeved It was a company truck. He would have had a duramax if he had his way
I get 27 mpg daily running 93 octane, dont put cheap gas in it
Gorgeous looking truck, my only gripe is that they seem too stripped out. I was going to purchase one locally I had nothing in it not even led headlights!
Yeah, at the price point vehicles cost there’s no excuse to not offer LED headlights as standard equipment these days, lol.
The peak torque comes in at around 1500 rpm. I am not sure where you got 3,000 rpm.
Oops, good catch!
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 It is all good man. I love the content. I have made many mistakes myself. I am actually thinking about getting the 2.7L in the trailboss. I am not convinced that the current 5.3 is more reliable. The AFM has caused so many lifter issues and you have to delete it. I have seen the engineering on the 2.7 and the internals are very strong. I do wish it had the 10speed. I do not understand the reasoning behind keeping the 8 speed personally.
I’m glad you enjoy it! I have a lot of fun making these videos, and getting to drive some cool stuff!
Yeah, I feel the same way. I’d probably also lean towards the Turbomax, especially if keeping it stock, I’ve driven half a dozen or more of them and I think they’re pretty cool! The plus side to a 5.3 or 6.2 with AFM is once it’s out of warranty and before the risk of being the 3% with lifter failure you could splurge and have a performance shop swap the cam to a mild street cam, other supporting mods, and a Dyno tune! That would be a hot running truck. 😎
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 I wanted the 3.0 Duramax, but I am seeing all this info about very high oil consumption. People brining up to two quarts of oil every 1,000 miles. Do you have any feedback? I have seen the engineers behind it and I can’t figure out if it is a major issue or just an initial break in period. Gm overfills the motor by about a quarter at the factory.
I’ve not heard much about the oil issues. It’s a shame that for the year we live and the price that these companies ask their trucks are literally bulletproof. At least in engine reliability… 😞
Y does your back up camera stay on ?
You can leave it on while you drive. In these Silverado reviews I do just that for the entertainment of it. 😛
Nice video. I own a 2022. It’s not a bad truck for the price. I have a bunch of videos on my TH-cam Channel.
Thanks! Yeah, they’re fun to drive, I’m glad you’re enjoying yours! I’ll have to check them out, thanks for sharing! 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 of course! 😎
Is the seat hidden storage an option? I’ve just recently test drove 2 different and looked at abkut 6 different silverados all different engines and all different trims and I didn’t see one with the hidden storage /: the salesman didn’t know what I was referring to
That’s a good question and one I can’t answer. I’m not familiar with all the Silverado specs well enough to identify what package/criteria provides those hidden sections. Anyone else know?! Anyways, thanks for watching! 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 thanks! It may be a production issue haha the 22-23 explores didn’t all come with a hood struts some came with a hood prop just due to productions shortage 🤣
That’s a good point! Very interesting isn’t it, lol.
I just got a 2023 with hidden storage in the back seats. Even the dealers weren't positive what they were whenever I had asked.
@@cfelly92 crazy how people who make a living off the your business can’t tell you about their product it’s like going to a baker and pointing at a cookie and then saying. Idk it could be raisins or chocolate chips and then you just don’t know who to trust
I have a 2023 trail boss. When I turn on the ignition, i cannot shift the lever until 18 seconds in. Does your do that?
That’s interesting, I haven’t noticed that on any of the 2023 Silverados I’ve reviewed. Maybe go to the dealer and check out a few other 2023’s and see if they’re similar or if yours needs some warranty work done? Best of luck! 🙂
Do you have your seat belt buckled...I have to put my seat belt on before mine shift in gear
Mpg please and thankyou for answering
Hopefully some owners can provide their real world MPG results!? 🙂👀
27 mpg running 93 octane
No new American truck is a “budget” truck. The prices are ridiculously high, even on base work trucks. The only decent priced truck is the Maverick, but the Ford dealers charge an extra $5-10k over sticker for them. 😬
You’re right… 😢
better off just to find a solid fram used truck,keep it running yourself just get the engine and trans rebuilt by a pro and just keep running it
It seems crazy at the prices they are listed at. But, then again I think about my 2005 F150 in super cab FX4 trim. Sticker price was $36k and that was almost 20 years ago!
That’s crazy and how time flys. It seems like a lot of vehicles have actually maintained their price point with inflation, while in general becoming much more efficient and safe vehicles. Unlike wages which have not risen with inflation. 🤷♂️🤔
I bought the same truck, and the engine whine is driving me insane. Like not the typical turbo whistle...it's a constant whine that sounds like a blender. But I'm not hearing it at all on yours...is the camera just not picking it up?
Sorry to hear that, honestly I don’t recall noticing anything out of the ordinary that sounded like that on any of the 2.7’s I’ve driven. Could you test drive another at the dealer and see if it makes the same sound? Otherwise, I might just be less sensitive to it than you, I recall being fairly impressed with the bone stock restricted turbo noises actually being somewhat noticeable. Best of luck! 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Awesome, thanks for the response. Taking it in and trying out a different one.
Any updates?! 😬
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Chevys stance is that it’s normal for the turbo, but they are aware of the issue. I did some google searching and it says that they are actively looking for a fix. Strange that it is not all of them, because you can’t hear it at all on your video, but you can definitely hear it on my phone when I’m taking a video.
Weird! Thanks for reporting back your findings. Sorry to hear yours is one affected, hopefully GM issues a recall to fix it so you can drive a truck and not a blender! 😉
I have this😊
Nice! 😎
7 seconds flat is respectable, but gotta remember Ford’s 2.7 ecoboost with slightly more hp and slightly less torque is notably quicker by over a second. This engine should be more than adequate in the Colorado/Canyon though. Looking forward to those tests.
Absolutely agree! The Ecoboosts are no joke when they’re running well. I’m excited for this next gen of mid sized truck. GM bringing the heat with the 2.7. We’ll see how the other manufacturers respond. 🙂
Yea key word when ecoboost run well... 😅 mine blew at 76k...
I’m sorry to hear that it did actually happen to you 😞 and yes, I picked my words wisely lol. 😅
I have both the ford 2.7 is slower
My 2024 5.3 V8 is zero to 60 faster than my 1975 Corvette and my 1982 Z/28 Camaro. I can get about 22-23 mpg from a lite foot in the 40 to 55 mph arena. Stop and go from block to block in the city means about 14-17 mpg.
I’m sure your truck would have been difficult to imagine back when those sports cars came out new! 😎
So only positive things?
Apparently, lol. It’s not a perfect truck. Every truck has its problems, whether related to reliability of specific components or other design. But the 2.7 custom seems to be a pretty solid truck that a lot of owners have reported enjoying! Thanks for watching. 🙂
Peak torque comes in at 1500 not 3000
420 peak engine torque is rated at 3,000 RPM. I’m sure there is a lot of TQ starting at 1,500. Thanks for watching! 🙂
I want a quad cab 4x4.
front bench seat is stiff as a rock.
Sorry to hear that! 😟
4 cylinders (turbo or not) for a full size pickup truck is an absolute nonstarter…
I am really curious to see how they hold up over the next 5-10 years. A lot of current owners report loving the power delivery. 🤷♂️😛 Thanks for watching!
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 That’s the key point, in 5 - 10 years those turbos will fail if they’re actually used for truck stuff like towing, etc.
4 cylinders have been in trucks for years and years and every diesel I see on the road has turbos.
That's for making me want to buy this truck.😡
😂
Thanks for the review.
Consumer Reports says that Chevy / GMC has fallen to the worst in reliability, which is sad bc Ram / Dodge is now owned by FIAT, which can only manufacture a POS vehicle.
Since you’ll be depressed after your Chevy is in the repair shop so often, you can be depressed with the gloomy grey or coffin black interior as well.
Just curious about your new personal ride…, what color is it? Another sucky silver, Lmao. I’m just teasing you Bro
Lol, you’ll hopefully see it next week! It hasn’t arrived quite yet. 😢
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Upload a picture and send it to my email.
Did you get the email I sent to you.
All I did was reply to your email. Maybe that’s why you didn’t get it.
It’s cold and snowing like crazy here, Mary 😩
Consumer Reports*😷
All trucks are being made cheaper and more expensive
iPads suck.
Wow gm build bigger chevrolet vega, bring back 70's, Disco 🕺, don't forget 8 track stereo systems music ABBA ,Bee Gee 😅😅😅😅😅😅
“Budget” lol
Right?! Lol 😂 😢
If it's got afm on it it will fail a lot of GM V8s are trash motors because of afm
It’s unfortunate Chevy hasn’t gotten away from their AFM system yet. I drove an early year C6 Corvette today for another video. These were the good days of GM V8 engines. 😢
