Owned it a year now, put 24k on it so far and no issues besides the 8spd transmission shifting hard every now and then and the exhaust sound. I average about 24mpg and I've towed 5k with it a few times and hauled over 1k regularly in the bed, no issues at all. that turbo sound is addicting too lol great engine/truck imo
@@tomonsterheard recently sold it for 4k more than what I paid for it. Put 36k on it and no issues besides the normal recalls and that transmission always left me with some doubt. Engine is great tho, would definitely buy it again if it had the new 10spd
@@rvgog247 thank you! -did you ever tow with it? -Did the truck feel like it was huffing and puffing when towing at higher speeds/going up an incline? Im in between this and the V6.. i just don't want my engine super strained for the minor towing I do especially when i go up hill.
or maybe even up the annie too 150 xxx miles on it to really say they'll back it all the way up & stand by it all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! humm i wonder here........
Same 30K mile warranty as everyone else... and Ford has shown that turbo/engine death is common by 20K miles with these small turbo engine platforms, and once you're past 30K miles, hahaha good luck out there. Stick with the LS v8, average lifespan for those is over 300K miles and climbing.
@@cmdr_stretchedguy Yep, I mean think about it, it's a small turbocharged 4 cylinder which already puts an engine under a lot more stress, then they slap it in a full size truck. This isnt gonna last.
What happens when you go to show your friends your new truck and then you get the dreaded question.... Hey bud pop the hood, let's see what ya got.. in this case nothing. I simply would b embarrassed to buy a full-sized 4 cylinder pickup, this is never going to last and I guarantee you will not see contractors buying these, not even people that use em as cars

@@craigholcombe1901 I just bought a new 2022 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7 in January and I got to use the mother in-laws GM discount and paid $ 34k for it and the sticker was not quite $ 42k and it runs like a champ with plenty of power and I compare it with the 2014 F 150 I had that had the 3.5 Ecoboost 6 banger in it, even though the Ford had 50 more HP. Of course it is to early to tell how long the motors will last, but the 2.7 does not struggle at all, in fact it does not even work hard pushing the truck down the road without a load. I have had cars with undersized motors in the past, and this is not one of them and I think people automatically think more pistons means more power and that is not the case.
Chevy Dude come on!!!! Why would most people even think about a 4 cylinder............Fuel mileage. And not a word from you about what the MPG is vs a 5.3...................Seriously??
From what I’ve seen early on, this 4 cylinder doesn’t provide that big of a gain in MPG, if any. And it’s going to be even worse when pulling a trailer. I just bought a 2018 with a 5.3 and have a best of 23.1mpg over 50 miles and an average hovering around 17.5-18mpg. Granted I only have 325 miles on it so far and haven’t done any road trips yet.
Richard Skipper actually they don’t. They have inline 6 cylinders. Some of the small box trucks have 4 cylinders but 18 wheelers have 6 cylinders or even 8 if they’re older.
@Richard Skipper You're dumb as a post. NO semi truck in the US has a 4 cylinder engine. Inline 6 is the norm, with pistons the size of coffee cans. And the diesels are engineered MUCH stronger than gas engines. Not even comparable, unless you can only count to 4 and not to 6 or 8.
@@Ritalie Yes but they have enough torque to come out of the pits quick enough if they had numerically higher gears and more then a 4-speed. They are pushed because of the gearing.
@@SHSPVR im sure the camshaft, head, intake combination is geared around high rpm revs.... that being said, they will pull their ass out of the pit stall on their own no problem, but you may have to ride the clutch more than youd want... they push em to save the clutch
i would not buy a vehicle with a new engine until it has been around for 3 or 4 years. when it gets to 150,000 miles with no problems or recalls. To get a few more MPG is mot worth the risk.
Its the Chevy Cruzearado. It's neat truck and it has plenty of power and I bet it will tow fine too. If you force enough air and fuel in anything you will get more power. The problem is there is a trade off in future repairs. My problem is I keep my trucks forever and use them to do real work. I don't want to have to deal with dead turbos, plastic intake manifolds, and oil blowing out of every seal because of a screwed up EGR design. I want a more traditional overhead valve, non-turbo engine V6 or V8. These may turn out to be great reliable trucks without a lot of problems, but I don't think so. I do have to give Chevy credit for trying something new though. Time will tell. Lets see how much people love them 5 years from now.
Mpg's maybe the similar but both don't put out the same emission levels. The main reason this engine is a big deal is because the new 3L diesel shares tech. That allowed GM to keep cost the similar 6.2L when both are optioned the same. Let's not forget 6.2L must use prem vs 87 on 2.7L.
Nodak81 every 6.2 I know runs on 87 and like a bat out of hell. The 4 cylinders aren’t gonna last as long as any of the other LS motors in general. Not when you put them under stress for periods of time. Most people I know don’t buy a V8 for gas mileage anyway.
Are Chevy's 6.2 gas or Diesel? My buddy just sold his Ford 6.8 which was a gas... but I'm aware that 6.3, 6.4. And 6.6 are all diesel. It's fucking confusing. Now ford is introducing their 7.3 in a gas variant which will be awesome for the few that get their hands on them
google "Chevy Cruze engine problems" If these little 4 cyl turbos are blowing up in compact cars (before the factory warranty expires) what do you think will happen in a pick up truck?
its because of a poor manifold set up causing it to crack at the waste gate seal. not gm fault. it is honeywell/garret problem because it is there turbo system
Pretty sure this is a new engine design completely. I am super curious to start seeing the service bulletins that appear for these engines tho and any problems they encounter over mileage and being used like a truck.
I don't know about the 1.4l turbo but the Ecotecs don't die. I've got a 2007 2.4L that's really in too heavy and large vehicle for the amount of torque that it produces, and even under that added load of a 3600 pound Saturn Aura mid size sedan, the engine sounds and runs like new after twelve years and 160K plus miles. Whoever said GM can't make 4 cylinders has lost his or her mind. I'm more of a Ford guy, but my 2001 Focus with a 2.0L was wearing out at 100K when thankfully someone hit it while parked and totaled it.
@@RBGarick well it was designed specifically for this truck before any other application; not like Ranger's 2.3L, but is like Ford's 2.7 and 3.5L Ecoboosts which have been faring well except for a carbon build up issue on the 1st generation 3.5L. I think it should make a good base engine replacement unless there was something they missed. Quite a bit of complexity though, but so too are the other new engines with the DFM treatment and all.
In a full sized truck I would feel much better OWNING with an understressed V8 vs. an overstressed UNDERSIZED 4 cylinder. Also gm's history and future paints this as a very shaky purchase.
Yes and there isn't going to be any gas savings if you are running it at full boost, which is 22psi, making it use more fuel than a 6.0L V8. The only savings would be on the highway and I bet its the same as a 5.3L in 4cyl DOD mode, it actually may even be worse.
Stress is an arbitrary term. It depends on how robust the block, rods and crankshaft is made. There are engines that live virtually forever under high boost......diesels
@@kerekmiller1511 , I use AMSOIL full synethic and only push it to 7500. The way they ate making/pricing cats, they will be forcing us into leases and trading every 2-3 years as quality/reliability are going out the window.
The only way I'd got for a it is if it were an opposed piston engine...bigger more efficient pistons no valve train, simple design (dual cranks geared to a single flywheel). Heavier duty than a normal turbo gas engine. This engine comparatively has an extremely complex valve train, complex design and puts more stress on a single crank as well as having an excessively complex turbo system.
I have a 95 hard body bought it new it has a built KA- 24 under the hood that will make you change your mind about a 4- banger I have put a lot of the big three to shame with it so I wouldn't take shit a 4- banger with my small truck the power to weight ratio I will give any stock full size truck one hell of a race !!! Lol
When I buy a brand new car/truck, it's because I want to know how every mile is spent....especially during the "break-in" period. If I knew someone was turning 5K RPMs in a truck I ordered before I got it, I'd be pissed the "F" off. But then.....Chevy lost my dollar vote last year when they shutdown US plants and invested overseas. I just recently bought a Honda Accord Sport (Dec. 2018) built in Marysville, OH, and a Honda Ridgeline Black Edition (Apr 2019) built in Alabama.
Saw your post/ so what made you buy a Ridgeline? Has honda done well on their auto transmissions...in the late 90s to recent their v6 transmissions have been problematic.....even the accord 05 etc 4 cylinders..also did they switch to timing chains or do they still have belts for the v6?
@@robertrichardson9953 Nope Toyota is one of the most widely held stocks in US mutual funds. Much of the profit stays here. Plus they are made here with US dealers and mechanics. Camry and Accord use more US made parts than a Ford Mustang. Ford paid no taxes for decades by the way.....
Back seat of the Colorado is not for road trips with adult sized children but the 4 cylinder engine would probably increase sales of the Colorado a lot because the 3.6 in it is as thirsty as a 5.3 with less truck.
another ignorant and stupid comment by people that don't know what they are talking about. that 4 cylinder has more horsepower and torque than the old 5.7 liter Vortec V8! that is a fact!
Bob Hirdes, Performance numbers are irrelevant. What is relevant is longevity. Name onefour-cylinder in the history of GM that was a dependable motor? The Grand Am? What about the Vega? Or perhaps the Saturn Vue? Yeah… Time will tell.
Be prepared for higher maintenance. Proof. When I called to price an extended warranty for my V8 Titan truck, I called Car Chex and other warranty companies and after you identify your vehicle, options and mileage their first question before a quote is "does it have a turbo?" That should tell you something.
🎯 exactly.. i have a 2000 excursion V10 towed 2x a light trailer… it was a people mover.. And i drive like a grandma.. i am never racing stoplight to stoplight or uphill.. As long as the engine is reliable.. its perfect for people like me.. Burning rubber and flooring it/abusing my vehicle does nothing for me
GM just announced that they will be making the 6.2L available in the LT and RST trims, as well as the Trail Boss starting next year. I'm really excited to hear that news, since I always believed that you shouldn't have to pay through the nose for an LTZ or High Country if you want the 6.2 in a Silverado. The LT 6.2 will start at just over $43k, according to the article I read. 🙂
Something that people forget when they fall in love with 6.2L is type of gas. That monster is thirsty 91 octane. Unless you really need heavy tow, it's not worth it for daily commute.
@@amprg I'm not saying you can't tow with the 6.2, just that it wasn't put into 1500 series as a towing motor, otherwise it would also have been offered into the higher series trucks. The design of the 6.2 does not promote it as a long term tow motor, like the 6.0 does. This is why GM did not push it as such and put it in the 2500 or 3500.
4 cylinders are clapped out around 75,000 miles regardless of who built it. Turbo they are done at 50,000 along with cam-chain stretch, replacing the turbos (look at the other cars with the same engine). Sensors, inter-cooler, along with the non-stop firmware updates - NO THANKS - *DIESEL if you want TURBO*
Idk 4cyl maybe but fords 2.7 is a solid engine... in fact I’d buy a 2.7 eco boost over a 5.0 right now due to the oil consumption issues... Chevy on the other hand idk but it’ll last over 50k but I wouldn’t own one without a warranty.

Horsepower = velocity or top speed potential Torque is the mathematical derivative of HP, it essentially is how quickly you can use that horsepower. A lot of torque with low HP is not fast, it just pulls well.
Funny that people say “it won’t last” since they’re were saying the same thing about the 4.3L a long time ago. Also, the 4.3L made something like 200hp 20 years ago, and is still in service today. This truck will do great and it’s definitely not underpowered for everyday driving.
A turbocharged 4 cylinder .....in a full size truck ? Thats a recipe for disaster . I think if you are concerned about mpg....then dont get a full size truck. Get a compact truck instead. This guy works for Chevrolet....of course he will talk good things about this truck.
@@mctigmctiggy1475 I agree. I'm not complaining about mpg. I have a 6.6 duramax diesel truck. So I get bad mpg. Lol. Mpg aren't a concerned for me. But for some people mpg are very important. Those are the ones who shouldn't get a full size truck.
@@SteveHolsten I own a '16 Canyon SLT Duramax and love it. I'm not suggesting replacing the 2.8L Duramax w/ the 2.7 Turbo but replacing the 3.6L gasser w/ the 2.7T. The 2.7 has 310 hp and 348 lb ft torque w/ peak torque at 1500-4000 rpm vs the 3.6 w/ 308 hp and 275 lb ft torque at 4000 rpm. And for S&G add the 10 speed auto to the gasser.
morgan williams That because when people drive the 4 cylinder. They drive it hard trying to see how fast it is. Then they complain about how much fuel it burn. It take fuel to make 348 lbs.-ft @ 1500 rpm. I bought a 2016 F165. F150 with the 2.7 ecoboost engine. It only got 17.5 mpg until I learn not to step on the peddle so hard. I now get 19 mpg in the city. It always gotten 24.5 on the highway.
morgan williams Its the same story with the Ford ecoboost v6’s. You need a certain amount of fuel to get a given amount of power, wether you do it with turbos or displacement. My guess is that the chevy turbo 4 exists to give an option for someone comparison shopping against the ford.
4 cyl too small for that size/weight truck, even with the turbo. Ford is seeing thousands per week with turbo/engine failure. Class action lawsuit is just starting to gain momentum against Ford for selling the turbo trucks knowing they are too small and weak to be viable long term.
I build high HP engines for a living. In order to get more power you can add more cylinder, bigger cylinders or stuff more air in the same cylinder. The first two are good options for longevity...the last one is not. I don't care what Chevy says...adding a turbo is a terrible idea in a truck that's expected to actually "work". I can't wait to see some of these trucks once they hit the 120k mark or so. Whereas I've had 5.3's last 250+k I highly doubt you'll see the same thing from these little turbos. These are meant to last for the duration of the original owner who will buy then sell before 100k. The USED market will see the brunt of the issues for sure in this truck.
lollllllllllll ok. We have an entire fleet of work vans that depending on tools the driver carries vary from 8,000 to 9,000lbs + towing various trailers. never had an engine failure even at 300k miles. turbo 4 cylinder in it. :)
practically all diesel engines in the world are turbo'ed .... and they do some actual work with those vehicles and tractors and at 120k those diesel engine are just breaking in.
This is simply wrong. Planes, ships, trains all use turbos. The 5.3 and 6.2 both have had a lot of issues lately. I would argue the 2.7 is the more reliable engine, If you don’t tow heavy.
My Duramax was in for service and the dealership put me in a 4cyl Sierra 1/2 ton. At first I was pissed but I quickly became impressed it’s a pretty powerful little four cylinder.
Chevy guy here too, I think ill just go with the 4.3 rather than the 2.7. A lot cheaper anyways and not only that, but i still see 4.3's from the 90's still running around just fine.
My 4.3 L vetch got 650,000 miles and was still running. Would crank in 30 degree weather with no problem. 95 GMC. But I had a beefy 350 I wanted to put in it. So never found out how many miles I could get out of it.
As an former heavy line mechanic, with engines being my forte, I can tell you without reservation, when compared to the v6 lfx engine with concerns to fuel milage and torque they are comparable other than the fact that turbo or no you will burn more fuel under load with the turbo 4 than with the v6 lfx engine.
Pulled the 28' travel trailer to the lake today with my 7.3 turbo diesel and she didn't even know there was a load on. There is no replacement for displacement.
If you look at the rest of the tachometer's layout, it's clear that the hash marks start at 500 rpm...not zero. So it's at a normal 700-750 rpm at idle.
I work at a dealership... first thing I thought when I drove it was no oil pressure barely 30 lbs at highway speed....the higher ups tried to tell me this is normal for a 4 cylinder motor.... BS!.... I have a 2.2 toyota and its pressure is in the 50's.... and 30's at idle....
Next video... new Silverado HD powered by POWER WHEELS engine, whit full rechargeable 2 hour battery, interchangeable whit you're daughter barbie jeep and any power wheel 12 volts..
So I'm a Ford guy and just got pretty much this truck for my work truck given to me. It's the 2017 4.3 v6 that my Chevy friends told me only comes in a regular cab long bed 10 years ago. Well that just goes to show you what Chevy people know. Anyways. This 4.3 has no power till you really get into the gas. And they front load the peddle so even with a light foot it will get up in the 5000 RPM range. It drops down to V4 mode but that is only going downhill and with out touching the gas. So with my best attempts to get the best MPG I have gotten 20mpg. My take on this. The 4cly turbo would be great for the guy that only need to carry people and get ok gas milage. The other side to that is. Are company 2016 f150 3.5 4x4 crew cab with 20in rims and 35s gets 25mpg is the fastest truck in our fleet of 9 other Chevys and is the only truck we have kept over 60xxx miles. So I'll stick with being a Ford guy.
what he forgot to mention is before it reaches its first oil change it will be in the shop to repair the wiring harness after it rubs on the chassie and shorts out the computer system. True story form my buddy who is an ASE certified for 15 years at a chevy dealership. the guy bought the truck drove it home and it never started again.
I live in China and have a 2018 Land Rover with the identical engine package I’ve had for over a year. It’s totally amazing! I was very skeptical when I first got it but now a total believer.

It’s called progress.......
The technology has been around for a while. Rally cars have 600hp turbo 4 cylinders, and go from 0-60 1.9 seconds. But they do not last long at all, because of the stress that has to be put onto the smaller engines. Like, the rally cars engines have to be rebuilt after every race.

Chevy Dude lol not really.... if you read the manual, 500 miles dont rev engine past 3k , no hard breaking.... also, never say never..... you may be confident videoing while driving, but one look down and .1 sec of passed time, could be the result of a crash to occur..... do what you want, but dont drive distracted...........

Why is the oil pressure so low at idle, and when ho floors it, it barely moves up. You don’t supposed to be hammering on it until after 500 miles. This truck sounds like a Chevy cobalt getting on it. Very embarrassing. Put some after market exhaust and you have a Silverado that sounds like a Honda!

I drove one Saturday. I liked it, but the 5.3 felt more powerful and definitely quicker. I think it would have impressed me more if I hadn't come from a Ford Ecoboost to this. In the end, I went with the 5.3 simply because GM has been making it since the dawn of time. We know it's super reliable. On this brand new motor, time will tell. But, assuming it's going to be a reliable motor, I think it's a very good choice for most drivers.
What are you like 15 what is your definition of forever because the 5.3 L has only been around since like 2000 numb nuts I think you’re thinking of the 350 that’s been around forever
Chevy dude. Another thing for you to understand. The 5.3 tq curve is very flat. Sure max tq is at 4 to 5k rpm but it starts well over 200 at 2k rpm and rises fast. Tq curves is just as important especially in trucks.
@@bobhirdes6725 I wasn't arguing that. I agree. I am stating that the 5.3 tq curve starts early and maintains. For a naturally aspirated engine this is really good
I had to turn in a 2017 GMC lease with the 5.3 V8. There were no V8s on the lot so I leased a 2021 GMC with the 4.7. I was very leery about the 4 cyl. Man, I love it. On a trip I got 29.9 MPG, around town about 18. I haul a 12ft trailer with my Zero turn 60" mower to cut the grass at my rental properties. Yeah, I can tell its back there compared to the V8s I've always had but it's still no slouch.
Does it have cross drilled main caps? Cylinder skirts? Beefy head gasket with protection between cylinders and water jackets? Forged crank? Forged pistons and rods?
I think it is a great way to have pick-up truck.If the true be told 85 % of pick-up truck are just to be use as a big car(open trunk SUV). I'm not saying it to be mean ( just look at the truck bed floor clean and looking good as new) Way to go chevy.
@@ronlheureux7623 Nearly any engine works well enough on the first 5k miles. The real test of an engines worthiness never really comes out until a year or 3 down the line.

HOWEVER, I believe GM has made this option for the VAST, VAST majority of people who don't do any actual towing and very rarely push their GVRW and for that purpose this is probably a solid choice of truck, in terms of fuel economy.

That idle is 650 rpm according to the tach at 8:23 in the video, not 200 rpm. Every tick mark is 100 rpm. Count down from 1000 rpm. They just left off the markings from 0-500.

Not too "professional", to not follow the rules in the manual from GM on how to break in a new truck. Just one example, not going over 55 MPH in the first 500 miles. If it's your truck and you don't mind the risk that's nobody's business, but a customer's vehicle is a different story.
My cousin has a 4 cylinder Silverado and she's had it for over a year. She travels from San Antonio Texas all the way to selaya guanajato mexico which is about an 18 hour drive.

Did you say how much mileage it gets per gallon?? 🤔🤔🤔. I love the truck ❤️❤️😊😊. Don’t need all the xtra torque and stuff. Just like having a truck with the xtra room
This is amazing it's probably going to end up just like the Ford EcoBoost. Way smaller motor less horsepower and the same MPG that the V8 would get. Oh and a motor that's probably going to go out at 40k
4cyl in a full size pickup? Put a yard of topsoil or mulch in the bed and then tell us how it performs. I’m a Silverado owner with the 5.3 and every spring I’m hauling something home for the garden and flower beds. Winter time is a truck bed full of firewood. When that 4 banger can do that, I’ll consider one.
Whatever to all these naysayers. I dig this truck. Matter of fact... I'm going to purchase one this weekend. And to the salesman in this video. Kudos to you my man. This was a very informative review of this truck. It literally made me decide two things. 1. Im going to buy this truck. 2. Im subscribing to this channel. Bonus tip. Also, love how the salesman is throttling this truck. Really showing its capabilities. Very nice work! 💯🇺🇲👍
I wasn’t too sure about a 4 cylinder full size pickup truck but until you test drive 1 you can not knock it these trucks are amazing great alternative for a v8 can’t wait till they get more years of experience with this engine. For the first year I must say they hit the ball out of the park
Great review man. But don't be buying that over-priced water in bottles, please. Really, just get yourself a nice quality water bottle and your life will be much better.
He has to get people to buy up the inventory some how! LOL They probably have slow sales on these trucks and he's trying to get rid of them by hyping it up even if it costs one future truck repair possibly.
I bought one in a 2019 GMC Savana Van 3500 and I love it!!! 25 MPG full or empty, when fueled up my range is 780 miles! Great power also, way better than my 4.8 litre v8 GMC I replaced no comparison! 👍🏼👍🏼
I tried one out , and no shit it is probably a little quicker than the 5.3. Pretty impressive. Would I buy one no way. I went with the 5.3. Good lease option for someone that just wants truck for dump runs or home depot runs
It's a very smart engine if you think about. You don't need cylinder deactivation and things making it brittle. It's just oversized pistons and cams doing some few big bangs. Very clever concept that I didn't expected the americans to bring first.

I just bought a 2021 Chevy Silverado Custom with the 2.7L in it I’m very impressed with the engineering behind this engine. This will be the 2nd Chevy I have ever owned and I’m very happy with it so far and so is my wife when she drives it. Definitely has a lot of power I’m a hardcore Toyota and I’m glad my wife talked me into getting a Silverado very happy so far Please tell Devin Davis that Jay said hi I bought an equinox from him many years ago when I was stationed at Fort Knox.
Bought this is in a 2021 in 20 gmc elevation crew cab and the 2.7 turbo. This engine amazes me, it is quick you don’t really notice the difference between the v8 as my work trucks have the 4.8 dogs lol. I tow about 4 or 5 thousand pound triller 2 or 3 times a years with zero issues. Being here in Canada the mileage is amazing for a truck. I am getting just under 25 mpg as my life time average. Highway I have seen 28 to 31 mpg which the i speed so far so good lol has been flawless. I have about 14 thousand miles on mine now and I would definitely get another one. My lease is up in just over a year and barring anything else in the market I will be getting another 2.7.

Owned it a year now, put 24k on it so far and no issues besides the 8spd transmission shifting hard every now and then and the exhaust sound. I average about 24mpg and I've towed 5k with it a few times and hauled over 1k regularly in the bed, no issues at all. that turbo sound is addicting too lol great engine/truck imo

Agreed
From what I’ve seen early on, this 4 cylinder doesn’t provide that big of a gain in MPG, if any. And it’s going to be even worse when pulling a trailer.
I just bought a 2018 with a 5.3 and have a best of 23.1mpg over 50 miles and an average hovering around 17.5-18mpg. Granted I only have 325 miles on it so far and haven’t done any road trips yet.

4 cylinder engine in a truck?. I will keep the v8 thanks
Richard Skipper actually they don’t. They have inline 6 cylinders.
Some of the small box trucks have 4 cylinders but 18 wheelers have 6 cylinders or even 8 if they’re older.
That's called free will. We all have it. Who cares what you or I chose?
@Richard Skipper Very well put.
@Richard Skipper You're dumb as a post. NO semi truck in the US has a 4 cylinder engine. Inline 6 is the norm, with pistons the size of coffee cans. And the diesels are engineered MUCH stronger than gas engines. Not even comparable, unless you can only count to 4 and not to 6 or 8.
@Richard Skipper what semi truck has a 4 cylinder engine and by "semi" I'm assuming your referring to a class 8 truck???
NASCAR motors have 5-600ft lbs of torque. They are pushed away from the pit stalls because they are geared very tall for high speeds.
The Nascar motors aren't designed to have any torque at 1,500 rpms. So their torque isn't useable until they revv up a bit more.
@@Ritalie Yes but they have enough torque to come out of the pits quick enough if they had numerically higher gears and more then a 4-speed. They are pushed because of the gearing.
@@joshuahedrick No Ritalie is right that torque doesn't come on tell well after 1,500 rpms they High RPM motor most of the torque is 5000 rpms

@Jake Heke Oh my did some push your button.
i would not buy a vehicle with a new engine until it has been around for 3 or 4 years. when it gets to 150,000 miles with no problems or recalls. To get a few more MPG is mot worth the risk.
I agree with that real usage
I’ll let ya know how it goes I bought one so far 2k miles no problems
Itsthepurp Bu how is the truck doing I am in the market for a new one
Bryan Adair perfect so far! Almost 2k miles love the acceleration it has and the turbo whistle is amazing. Think you won’t be disappointed.
Especially if that mpg is about the same as a V8
Its the Chevy Cruzearado. It's neat truck and it has plenty of power and I bet it will tow fine too. If you force enough air and fuel in anything you will get more power. The problem is there is a trade off in future repairs. My problem is I keep my trucks forever and use them to do real work. I don't want to have to deal with dead turbos, plastic intake manifolds, and oil blowing out of every seal because of a screwed up EGR design. I want a more traditional overhead valve, non-turbo engine V6 or V8. These may turn out to be great reliable trucks without a lot of problems, but I don't think so. I do have to give Chevy credit for trying something new though. Time will tell. Lets see how much people love them 5 years from now.
Practically the same mpg as the 6.2L and will probably only last 1/3 of the time.
Mpg's maybe the similar but both don't put out the same emission levels. The main reason this engine is a big deal is because the new 3L diesel shares tech. That allowed GM to keep cost the similar 6.2L when both are optioned the same.
Let's not forget 6.2L must use prem vs 87 on 2.7L.
@@jeffwill4923 Premium fuel is only recommended for the 6.2 for max power, it's far from required. Most people run regular.
Nodak81 every 6.2 I know runs on 87 and like a bat out of hell. The 4 cylinders aren’t gonna last as long as any of the other LS motors in general. Not when you put them under stress for periods of time. Most people I know don’t buy a V8 for gas mileage anyway.
Are Chevy's 6.2 gas or Diesel? My buddy just sold his Ford 6.8 which was a gas... but I'm aware that 6.3, 6.4. And 6.6 are all diesel. It's fucking confusing. Now ford is introducing their 7.3 in a gas variant which will be awesome for the few that get their hands on them
Boosted 4 banger on 87?
Only if you wanna blow it up
A video on a 4 cylinder full size and no mention of fuel mileage? That would be the main reason that someone would consider it.

The only reason.
I'm all actuallity this engine needs to be in the Camaro and Calorado
Turbo sounds amazing and shifts smooth and it tows more than a v6 and is faster than a v8. I bought it today
I am getting about 26 mpg on my chevy truck It's is running great Its has about 10000 miles
google "Chevy Cruze engine problems" If these little 4 cyl turbos are blowing up in compact cars (before the factory warranty expires) what do you think will happen in a pick up truck?
its because of a poor manifold set up causing it to crack at the waste gate seal. not gm fault. it is honeywell/garret problem because it is there turbo system
Oh please. GM built zillions of ecotec 4 cylinder motors. In general. A bulletproof motor.
Pretty sure this is a new engine design completely. I am super curious to start seeing the service bulletins that appear for these engines tho and any problems they encounter over mileage and being used like a truck.
I don't know about the 1.4l turbo but the Ecotecs don't die. I've got a 2007 2.4L that's really in too heavy and large vehicle for the amount of torque that it produces, and even under that added load of a 3600 pound Saturn Aura mid size sedan, the engine sounds and runs like new after twelve years and 160K plus miles. Whoever said GM can't make 4 cylinders has lost his or her mind. I'm more of a Ford guy, but my 2001 Focus with a 2.0L was wearing out at 100K when thankfully someone hit it while parked and totaled it.
@@RBGarick well it was designed specifically for this truck before any other application; not like Ranger's 2.3L, but is like Ford's 2.7 and 3.5L Ecoboosts which have been faring well except for a carbon build up issue on the 1st generation 3.5L. I think it should make a good base engine replacement unless there was something they missed. Quite a bit of complexity though, but so too are the other new engines with the DFM treatment and all.
In a full sized truck I would feel much better OWNING with an understressed V8 vs. an overstressed UNDERSIZED 4 cylinder. Also gm's history and future paints this as a very shaky purchase.
Yes and there isn't going to be any gas savings if you are running it at full boost, which is 22psi, making it use more fuel than a 6.0L V8. The only savings would be on the highway and I bet its the same as a 5.3L in 4cyl DOD mode, it actually may even be worse.
Lot of companies are very focused on leasing these days.
Great torque at 1500, what happens on a hill with a load at highway speeds?? I hope the 4 ways work well
Stress is an arbitrary term. It depends on how robust the block, rods and crankshaft is made. There are engines that live virtually forever under high boost......diesels
What if I told you these 4 bangers are $16,500 off sticker. Would you consider one at that price point?
What is GM thinking. No way! Between the he turno. vehicle weight plus payload and the auto stop, that engine will be lucky to last 100k.
Robert Weber good. That means he will buy a new truck sooner 🙂 and who doesn’t like a new truck

Never in a million years would I buy a 4 cylinder TRUCK.
The only way I'd got for a it is if it were an opposed piston engine...bigger more efficient pistons no valve train, simple design (dual cranks geared to a single flywheel). Heavier duty than a normal turbo gas engine. This engine comparatively has an extremely complex valve train, complex design and puts more stress on a single crank as well as having an excessively complex turbo system.
Dont buy an i4 in a car either. Just not enough power.
I have a 95 hard body bought it new it has a built KA- 24 under the hood that will make you change your mind about a 4- banger I have put a lot of the big three to shame with it so I wouldn't take shit a 4- banger with my small truck the power to weight ratio I will give any stock full size truck one hell of a race !!!

Back seat of the Colorado is not for road trips with adult sized children but the 4 cylinder engine would probably increase sales of the Colorado a lot because the 3.6 in it is as thirsty as a 5.3 with less truck.

morgan williams That because when people drive the 4 cylinder. They drive it hard trying to see how fast it is. Then they complain about how much fuel it burn. It take fuel to make 348 lbs.-ft @ 1500 rpm.
I bought a 2016 F165. F150 with the 2.7 ecoboost engine. It only got 17.5 mpg until I learn not to step on the peddle so hard. I now get 19 mpg in the city. It always gotten 24.5 on the highway.
morgan williams Its the same story with the Ford ecoboost v6’s. You need a certain amount of fuel to get a given amount of power, wether you do it with turbos or displacement. My guess is that the chevy turbo 4 exists to give an option for someone comparison shopping against the ford.
Right , but people will be ignorant and buy it anyways. Not my problem.

@@tacooffroadforlife6533 right, I got a 4Runner with a V6 and fel like i could use the power of a V8 sometimes
I build high HP engines for a living. In order to get more power you can add more cylinder, bigger cylinders or stuff more air in the same cylinder. The first two are good options for longevity...the last one is not. I don't care what Chevy says...adding a turbo is a terrible idea in a truck that's expected to actually "work". I can't wait to see some of these trucks once they hit the 120k mark or so. Whereas I've had 5.3's last 250+k I highly doubt you'll see the same thing from these little turbos. These are meant to last for the duration of the original owner who will buy then sell before 100k. The USED market will see the brunt of the issues for sure in this truck.
lollllllllllll ok. We have an entire fleet of work vans that depending on tools the driver carries vary from 8,000 to 9,000lbs + towing various trailers. never had an engine failure even at 300k miles. turbo 4 cylinder in it. :)
practically all diesel engines in the world are turbo'ed .... and they do some actual work with those vehicles and tractors and at 120k those diesel engine are just breaking in.
This is simply wrong. Planes, ships, trains all use turbos. The 5.3 and 6.2 both have had a lot of issues lately. I would argue the 2.7 is the more reliable engine, If you don’t tow heavy.
What I like about the 2.7 turbo is that it is very light. It's like 200kg less under the hood than the V8. You definitely feel it
My Duramax was in for service and the dealership put me in a 4cyl Sierra 1/2 ton. At first I was pissed but I quickly became impressed it’s a pretty powerful little four cylinder.
I'll bet that turbo gets a good workout on a vehicle that large and heavy, negating the fuel economy possible from a smaller engine.
Chevy guy here too, I think ill just go with the 4.3 rather than the 2.7. A lot cheaper anyways and not only that, but i still see 4.3's from the 90's still running around just fine.

As an former heavy line mechanic, with engines being my forte, I can tell you without reservation, when compared to the v6 lfx engine with concerns to fuel milage and torque they are comparable other than the fact that turbo or no you will burn more fuel under load with the turbo 4 than with the v6 lfx engine.
Pulled the 28' travel trailer to the lake today with my 7.3 turbo diesel and she didn't even know there was a load on.
There is no replacement for displacement.
If you look at the rest of the tachometer's layout, it's clear that the hash marks start at 500 rpm...not zero. So it's at a normal 700-750 rpm at idle.
Let me see...new truck with 30 showing on the oil pressure gauge, I see recall for spun bearings and turbo cores next week.
I work at a dealership... first thing I thought when I drove it was no oil pressure barely 30 lbs at highway speed....the higher ups tried to tell me this is normal for a 4 cylinder motor.... BS!.... I have a 2.2 toyota and its pressure is in the 50's.... and 30's at idle....
Next video... new Silverado HD powered by POWER WHEELS engine, whit full rechargeable 2 hour battery, interchangeable whit you're daughter barbie jeep and any power wheel 12 volts..
So I'm a Ford guy and just got pretty much this truck for my work truck given to me. It's the 2017 4.3 v6 that my Chevy friends told me only comes in a regular cab long bed 10 years ago. Well that just goes to show you what Chevy people know. Anyways. This 4.3 has no power till you really get into the gas. And they front load the peddle so even with a light foot it will get up in the 5000 RPM range. It drops down to V4 mode but that is only going downhill and with out touching the gas. So with my best attempts to get the best MPG I have gotten 20mpg. My take on this. The 4cly turbo would be great for the guy that only need to carry people and get ok gas milage. The other side to that is. Are company 2016 f150 3.5 4x4 crew cab with 20in rims and 35s gets 25mpg is the fastest truck in our fleet of 9 other Chevys and is the only truck we have kept over 60xxx miles. So I'll stick with being a Ford guy.
what he forgot to mention is before it reaches its first oil change it will be in the shop to repair the wiring harness after it rubs on the chassie and shorts out the computer system. True story form my buddy who is an ASE certified for 15 years at a chevy dealership. the guy bought the truck drove it home and it never started again.
nice , some guy abusing your new truck b4 its broke in .
A New 4 cylinder turbo on a full size truck? Recipe for disaster. The future Lemon 🍋 for GM.

Or delivering loads of purses or tampons
This is true,, most people that are buying NEW trucks are using them as daily drivers/luxury vehicles. Not work trucks or hauling loads.
Payload is over 2k tows 7k... all I need .. and it’s faster than a v8 and u hear that turbo whistle like a diesel

Are you serious, a 4 cylinder engine in a full size pick up? Not to mention a turbo that adds more possible issues!
Only Chevy. How many miles do you think this would last if sold to a construction company?
@@jasoncentore1830 😁🤣
I live in China and have a 2018 Land Rover with the identical engine package I’ve had for over a year. It’s totally amazing! I was very skeptical when I first got it but now a total believer. I will buy this truck when I return to the states. Everyone should give it a test drive to see for themselves. Trust me, you’re gonna be shocked as I was........it’s a different world these days! It’s called progress.......
Best selling point:
It keeps up with traffic
😂😂😂😂😂
Actually slightly quicker to 60 than the 5.3 V8 😛😛😛😛😛
Lol right
Technology has come a long way and smaller displacemen motors are now packing a pretty good punch. By the way, the 2.7 can do 0 to 60 in 6.4 seconds.
The technology has been around for a while. Rally cars have 600hp turbo 4 cylinders, and go from 0-60 1.9 seconds. But they do not last long at all, because of the stress that has to be put onto the smaller engines. Like, the rally cars engines have to be rebuilt after every race.
@Bronco Burgess your average driver doesn't kill the engine as rally car drivers do. If they do, they also deserve to suffer the consequences of a destroyed engine. Abuse anything and it won't stand.
@@elche1976 The turbo 4-cylinder Volkswagen in our family has had its share of issues and has burned a lot of oil for years, turns the oil black quickly, etc. The difference in the oil analysis reports between that and my normally aspirated Mazda were pretty dramatic. There is absolutely a price to be paid for boost.
typical sales man. beating on a new customers brand new engine. racing the engine to 4k rpm...shaking my head.
Chevy Dude lol not really.... if you read the manual, 500 miles dont rev engine past 3k , no hard breaking.... also, never say never..... you may be confident videoing while driving, but one look down and .1 sec of passed time, could be the result of a crash to occur..... do what you want, but dont drive distracted...........
@@Aaron-hi7if I've always been told to drive it like you're going to drive it after it breaks in Wallace breaking in that way if anything comes apart it comes apart while the warranty still good and you know what it's about
Why is the oil pressure so low at idle, and when ho floors it, it barely moves up. You don’t supposed to be hammering on it until after 500 miles. This truck sounds like a Chevy cobalt getting on it. Very embarrassing. Put some after market exhaust and you have a Silverado that sounds like a Honda!

Imagine a full size "Silverado" pulling a trailer screaming like a Honda Civic 1.8 turbo
hahah thats great.i could never own a full size truck with a 4 cylinder or even really a 6 cylinder.
With aftermarket fart pipes.
I drove one Saturday. I liked it, but the 5.3 felt more powerful and definitely quicker. I think it would have impressed me more if I hadn't come from a Ford Ecoboost to this. In the end, I went with the 5.3 simply because GM has been making it since the dawn of time. We know it's super reliable. On this brand new motor, time will tell. But, assuming it's going to be a reliable motor, I think it's a very good choice for most drivers.
I always order my full size trucks with the 6.0L with a 410 rear end,
The SBC was made since the dawn of time. Not any LS version.
What are you like 15 what is your definition of forever because the 5.3 L has only been around since like 2000 numb nuts I think you’re thinking of the 350 that’s been around forever
Bow Tie guy for life but, count me out on that one!
Ford GUY for life, and I like the EcoBoost but if Ford did this I would be disappointed. The Chevy 5.3 is the best choice, always.
@throwing sparks same right here
Chevy dude. Another thing for you to understand. The 5.3 tq curve is very flat. Sure max tq is at 4 to 5k rpm but it starts well over 200 at 2k rpm and rises fast. Tq curves is just as important especially in trucks.
the Torque curve on the 4 cylinder turbo is even FLATTER! at a much lower RPM!
@@bobhirdes6725 I wasn't arguing that. I agree. I am stating that the 5.3 tq curve starts early and maintains. For a naturally aspirated engine this is really good
I had to turn in a 2017 GMC lease with the 5.3 V8. There were no V8s on the lot so I leased a 2021 GMC with the 4.7. I was very leery about the 4 cyl. Man, I love it. On a trip I got 29.9 MPG, around town about 18. I haul a 12ft trailer with my Zero turn 60" mower to cut the grass at my rental properties. Yeah, I can tell its back there compared to the V8s I've always had but it's still no slouch.
Does it have cross drilled main caps? Cylinder skirts? Beefy head gasket with protection between cylinders and water jackets? Forged crank? Forged pistons and rods?
Thanks for the info on the turbo four cylinder, but have to stay with my V8 regular cab Silverado. Have had nothing but regular cabs V8 since 1980.
I cared, buddy. I cared...
Glad to hear somebody else likes regular cabs. Thanks for your comment.
Miss my reg cab... car seat and 2 dogs forced me into a crew cab
That fact that you took the time to comment shows you care... it’s okay I know you care brah.
Most 4cyl loose pwr when you turn on A/C also!
I think it is a great way to have pick-up truck.If the true be told 85 % of pick-up truck are just to be use as a big car(open trunk SUV). I'm not saying it to be mean ( just look at the truck bed floor clean and looking good as new) Way to go chevy.
Your being generous. I'd say 90 percent use them as large car that sits higher b
the only good 2.7 liter engine is the bullet proof one that Toyota has had for many years. 400,000 plus miles pretty common.
Toyota doesn't have it trying to pretend to be a V8 nor do they put it in a heavy vehicle.
@@Membrane556 my T100 midsize size pickup has one and pulls a loaded 16 ft trailer now and then.
Except they need a valve job around 180,000 miles.
My niece’ s husband just bought one and he loves it.
gonna go ahead and pause the video at 1 sec and say: No, its not a good idea to buy a full sized truck with a 4 cylinder. Carry on.
Everyone's an expert. Even despite the many reviews after having driven the truck. It must be nice to know everything, huh?
@@ronlheureux7623 Nearly any engine works well enough on the first 5k miles. The real test of an engines worthiness never really comes out until a year or 3 down the line. My initial reaction is that for anyone who uses their truck as, well... a truck. Will have a bad time with a 4 cylinder after repeated stress. HOWEVER, I believe GM has made this option for the VAST, VAST majority of people who don't do any actual towing and very rarely push their GVRW and for that purpose this is probably a solid choice of truck, in terms of fuel economy.
@@dirtmonkey_14h2 you are so correct it hurts. I see so many crew cab short box trucks, and rarely do i see someone even pulling a fishing boat. most people who want a pickup, want it to haul brush to the dump or the camper or jetskis 4 times a year tops. people who want to tow horse trailers, equipment etc on the regular are smart enough to know what they want and buy a d-max or 6.0.
@@ronlheureux7623 U sound like u might want to buy one. Good luck.
@@roscoeelcocko1863 Well, since 'm 70 and no longer need a truck, probably won't be bying one. I prefer my Caddy at this point.
If it's the same prices out the door. And mpgs the same. Wtfis the point?
MPGs are not the same in real world driving
@@corpsiecorpsie_the_original GM lies on truck MPG ratings as they can by law... If you're buying a truck off listed MPG you're a fool. Get the biggest, most powerful engine you can afford.
Dude I’ve always been all about the v8s but these new engines in these new trucks are impressive. And not just with Chevy but ford and dodge are also making great fuel efficient engines with great power. Great review!
Those Ecoboost Fords are scary with all the issues a lot of them have!
Great a full size pickup that hauls as much as the mid-size ranger...
And gets 13 mi/gal (highway) when towing!
Most people with trucks don’t even tow or haul that much
This truck can’t even haul my fishing buddies wife!
Yea but you’re not hauling if you’re buying this truck....
That idle is 650 rpm according to the tach at 8:23 in the video, not 200 rpm. Every tick mark is 100 rpm. Count down from 1000 rpm. They just left off the markings from 0-500. This is a good example of why manufacturers use idiot lights and Ford used the "fake" oil pressure gauge that always points straight up.
I wouldn’t go near a vehicle that heavy and big with a 4 cyl engine.
*electric water pump - reminds me of the electric FAN clutch maintenance nightmare*
It’s like those dudes on TH-cam who swap 212 predator engines in cars 😂
@@Hostility1812 ... ok not to sound 2 odd but what does these 212 predator motors for orig,. & what good or bad do they do in the place where the old motor ( what ever it was ) does in all honesty.......
I will buy another truck with the 6.2 I have a 2011 SILVERADO LT 4x4 with the 6.2 that is one awesome engine
I have one in my Denali and I love it, however I don't like the fuel economy 😂.
every salesmen at the dealership must have driven the truck before you with almost 250 miles on it
wagil90 that is how many miles are left in the tank, the truck only has 13 miles on it
Not too "professional", to not follow the rules in the manual from GM on how to break in a new truck. Just one example, not going over 55 MPH in the first 500 miles. If it's your truck and you don't mind the risk that's nobody's business, but a customer's vehicle is a different story.
My cousin has a 4 cylinder Silverado and she's had it for over a year. She travels from San Antonio Texas all the way to selaya guanajato mexico which is about an 18 hour drive. She has done this 8 times already in one year, never ever had any issues, and the truck was always full of stuff. I know cuz Ive been those 8 times lol
What's up with that strange two tone intieror? I can't figure out the use for that tiny 5 ft. Box.
bed bath and beyond shopping soccer balls and groceries
Did you say how much mileage it gets per gallon?? 🤔🤔🤔. I love the truck ❤️❤️😊😊. Don’t need all the xtra torque and stuff. Just like having a truck with the xtra room
This is amazing it's probably going to end up just like the Ford EcoBoost. Way smaller motor less horsepower and the same MPG that the V8 would get. Oh and a motor that's probably going to go out at 40k
4cyl in a full size pickup? Put a yard of topsoil or mulch in the bed and then tell us how it performs. I’m a Silverado owner with the 5.3 and every spring I’m hauling something home for the garden and flower beds. Winter time is a truck bed full of firewood. When that 4 banger can do that, I’ll consider one.
Whatever to all these naysayers. I dig this truck. Matter of fact... I'm going to purchase one this weekend. And to the salesman in this video.
Kudos to you my man. This was a very informative review of this truck. It literally made me decide two things.
1. Im going to buy this truck.
2. Im subscribing to this channel.
Bonus tip. Also, love how the salesman is throttling this truck. Really showing its capabilities. Very nice work! 💯🇺🇲👍
GM 4 cylinders have a history of blowing head gaskets. I think I would go with the 8.
Those model Ts were very difficult to start with that hand crank, too. It's called progress and innovation, my friend.

Not for me, I just love that V8 sound when you add a super 10 flow master

Sorry we don't know that yet. Wait a year or two then we'll know. These engines haven't even been broke-in yet.

Horsepower is how hard you hit a wall and torque is how far you push that wall
That's not a good explanation lol

A 4 cylinder engine would struggle with the weight of the truck , I'm a power guy .
Test drive one might surprise you
I tried one out , and no shit it is probably a little quicker than the 5.3. Pretty impressive. Would I buy one no way. I went with the 5.3. Good lease option for someone that just wants truck for dump runs or home depot runs
I love it..especially from a fan of a full size truck and the $3.46 a gallon now in Vegas!! Thank u, you're amazing..🤩🤩🤩
It's a very smart engine if you think about. You don't need cylinder deactivation and things making it brittle. It's just oversized pistons and cams doing some few big bangs. Very clever concept that I didn't expected the americans to bring first.
