I just bought the 2021 Silverado Custom/Crew Cab/Short Bed (2wd) with the 2.7L turbo. This truck is by far better than what I had expected. I owned v6 and v8 in the past. When I did the test drive I couldn't believe the performance from the get-go. This truck meets my expectations and more.
@@miguellazaro5947 no issues at all. The only thing that I can say is that it does sound like a four cylinder, but once you’re on the Highway, it’s quiet and drives really good.
I just bought my new 2019 turbo all star Addition, was Amaze of the power from a four-cylinder turbo, trying out the 5.3 wasn’t too impressed a little bit noisier in the cab than in this new Silverado 2019, I am one happy camper! I went from a GMC to Chevy , same family , just different trims!I got 26 miles to the gal driving to the beach, Runs great for a 4 cylinder turbo!👍
Just Traded a Ram Ecodiesel for 2020 Silverado 2.7 Turbo 6-wks ago and its the Best 1500 I have ever Driven,, Great Job on Video Best one on Silverado Yet.
I just bought a 2020 GMC Sierra DC 4x4 2.7 L and it is a great truck. My test drive was a lot like your video. I was impressed with the power and wouldn’t have known it was a 4 cylinder . Very realistic and helpful video , well done Sir. Mike
I love my 2.7L 2WD LT security package. so far Mileage so far is 20 mpg in the city. This is not for everyone. The safety of the truck and gas mileage of a car. But with a truck turbo engine :).
Driven many Chevy trucks, first oilfield truck in Brazil had ‘ teeth.’ Drove a F 150 2 .7 turbo and got V8 shock, spanks my V8 Jeep. Exited to try this, my hauling days over and high mpg desired . Great vid
I have 2021 rst with the 2.7 and have been amazed...2k price reduction vs 5.3 and it has more torque during nearly all points of normal driving of 1500rpm to 4k rpm. Getting 19 city and 24 highway and get to hear a nice turbo whistle every time I tap throttle. Since 2019 to 21 they actually upped towing capacity to > 9k lbs since it cools so well. Hard to think there will be all these terrible reliability issues when they modeled the entire motor after its 3.0 diesel brother...just saying if you're not towing all the time and drive the truck as a daily vehicle mostly doing hauling...its a great option...2021 rst off the lot for under 40k in CT. Very happy thus far!
I got the 4 cyl crew cab lt + all star edition a couple months back and for some reason my mpg is very low (18 mpg combined highest) but other than that I love it so far. It has a very smooth ride and has no shortage of power. My cousin has a f-150 and he test drove mine and didn’t believe me when I told him it was a 4 cylinder. Definitely recommend
I’m excited to see how these things will perform both from a reliability stand point and aftermarket. As someone who loves Turbo 4s, it’s cool to a truck with one.
I have a couple clients out there for a few months now and they are loving them. To the point one guy has friends drive his truck so they can feel it out before he tells them it's a turbo4
Agreed man.... It’s funny how people dog the shit out of smaller turbo motors. Wife’s 2021 has a turbo 4 in it and it’s bad ass and gets greats mpg. Average 28-30 on the highway and around 20 in the city.
Great video. Do one on the new 2022 2.7 with the increase power. 2022 numbers are 5.3l 355 HP at 5600 rpm, 383 torque at 4100 rpm and the new 2.7 with an impressive 310 HP at 5600 rpm and 430 torque at 3,000 rpm. So if you go with the new 2.7 you lose 45 HP but gain 47 torque. Very impressive what they are able to do with turbos and small engines.
BEST!! review I’ve seen yet, not only about a Chevy but any car. Will consider this truck next year when my lease is up; Hi 👋🏼 from Miami FL. In my area as of 8/7/19 regular gas is $2.49. Keep up the good work!!...
Leased April 23; GMC Elevation crew 4x2 here in Miami; Elevation is the comparison to the RST; Towed our boat week 4800 lbs to Key Largo. Yes we’re flat country here. With one high elevated bridge before entering Key Largo. No issues towing and plenty of power. But need the gas mileage Miami is a dense city and lots of traffic: I recorded and showed I managed to get 21city with the A/C on; But once Miami is once again running on all cylinders good chance I’ll avg 17.5-18.5 with A/C always on.
Great video. Honestly I see this as the future for trucks. Everybody is bashing the 4cyl for it not being a proper truck v8 blah blah. Why would you want to spend more money on a v8? I guess a lot of people have spare cash lying around burning a hole in their pocket. People need to realize that these big engines are going to disappear. Trucks are even going hybrid or full electric now! I have a feeling the v8’s days are numbered as new tech comes out
the bigger question is why even buy a truck if a 4 is all you need.....the 4 will not last as long if you do actually use it as a truck....there will be a lot of these bought and then traded .....
You have to factor in what the truck will be used for. If your hauling weight at the trucks max then ya probably the 4 isn’t what you want ...but if you’re commuting a lot and carrying loads once and awhile this is perfectly fine. Just like the Ridgeline (yes I brought it up!) is still plenty for what 80-90% of what people will use their 1/2 tons for, if that truck is not sufficient then clearly you need to be in a different class of truck all together ( 2500 +)
You can't beat the rumble of a v8 engine my ram 1500 Laramie with the 5.7l hemi with the flowmaster outlaw exhaust sounds so good doesn't matter if it uses more gas.
I tried one out and I was very impressed with its power and acceleration. I just couldn't bring myself to buy a unproven 4 banger in a full size. I went with the custom trailboss 5.3. If they put a 6 year 100k warrenty I think they could sell a pile of them. With a 60k warranty too much risk with a turbo.
Wish now I had gotten the Trail Boss went with the custom 2-speed Transfer case, shocks and Lift Kit I missed out on, Its the 2.7 Turbo And I did get 100,000K B-B Warranty, and Life-Time Power Train Warranty, So we will see...
It’s impressive truck and I just watch a video on TFL truck channel. They tested and they got 24mpg witch is amazing. According to them the truck has amazing power.
Dave B sells Chevy that’s just my opinion I feel the last generation has the best interior that Chevy made ever in Silverado. I saw the high country and I was disappointed with a lot of plastic and it feels cheap as 65k$ truck. The exterior it’s the best looking truck compare to other trucks.
My only concern is that they are running the gas tank almost on empty. That’s bad in the long run. But I will be looking at this truck when I get ready to buy.
As someone who has bought this engine, it seems nice at first but now that I put 10k on it I have to say I wish I opted for the larger engine. Just a preference. That engine noise gets awfully loud especially when the truck is weighed down with a full crew
Nice truck, nice video; here in Brooklyn NY the gas went up...the 4cyl would take some getting used to but the gas savings is good; also like that low torque! 👍
I test drove a 2.7l Sierra elevation. An as a truck guy I am actually impresses. I will admit I like the 5.3l more but truely the engine would probably fit my life style more then the v8
The Auto Stop thing I just think the starter and other parts components are being used more than they normally were. should be where you can turn it off and on. I believe that 2.7 l versus the 5.3 only gets a couple miles a gallon better
Thanks. Well done. Drivability looks good. Unfortunately, GM doesn't have the best record for durability on anything but small block V8's (which are clearly the best). Hope I'm wrong but time will tell.
I'm a huge Silverado fan but I feel like a wimp driving a 4 cylinder truck...... however I'm impressed a 300hp 4 cylinder....as soon as Im done paying off my Colorado Im getting a Silverado.
Should be able to. This is the first engine that GM did 1,000,000 miles of rear world testing on... not sure exactly what that means but they stated it.
I love the fart button~ all 4 windows drop at the same time. Traditionally you could only drop your OWN window & all the fart come at you, so it doesn't help.
Very informative review. Thanks! Would u happen to know what some general leasing numbers are looking like on the new Silverado crew cabs with the v8 or 4cyl? Thanks.
Thanks for watching!! Lease deals are different for many reasons such as where you live, GM buying programs, incentives but here is a link to Chevy's page of national lease ads which will give you a good idea. www.chevrolet.com/current-deals#?filterby=all&requestedPostalcode=07039&postalcode=07039&open-panel=silverado:silverado-1500-new
Does this one feel lighter in the front when you're driving it compared to the V8? Wondering if it feels more nimble around the corners and such. Also, how much extra does the V8 cost? Any numbers on the diesel yet? Thanks.
I drove both this model and the 5.3 trail boss , the new chassis feels great on either. My trailboss with its lift is very nimble for a full size truck, much more than my 13 sierra I traded in.
does anyone know the answer to this auto stop question? I occasionally travel the interstates and especially on I95 I get stuck. Sometimes I crawl and sometimes I will sit there for 20 minutes or more and not move an inch. My Titan truck does not have auto stop (05) model and it is 90 degrees plus and the motor is purring and I have the A/c going. If I had auto stop , the engine is STOPPED and have my foot on the brake waiting to inch forward how does the air conditioning keep me cool with the engine stopped? Can't figure that one out. Why would you not kill the battery. Compressor is running, etc.
Great question! In our early start stop vehicles, like the 2016 Malibu, the A/C would start blowing out hot air (which is crazy). It seems they now have them programmed to keep the A/C flowing. Also, if and when it does go into auto stop it is only for limited time (seems to only be a minute or two) before turning back on... there is also an Off button in the Silverado so you can deactivate it all together each time you start the truck.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Thanks. This is not a criticism so please don't take it that way but doesn't it seem if you just didn't even have this system that the extra gas used is so negligible that it probably only adds up toprobably less than a dollar a tankful. I don't know, just seems it really isn't needed.
Yea, I'd agree the amount of saving at the pump is probably very minimal but it helps manufacturers hit their federal CAFE standards. Every extra mile per gallon from EPA helps raise the average
The auto-stop is terrible in the south during the summer....100 degrees 90% humidity and that engine shuts off, then your AC gets warm, and it takes a few minutes to cool back down. I can see it being ok in the winter because your eninge continues to put off heat when it shuts off. I believe you wpuldnt like it if you lived in a hot climate
I had a 2016 Silverado LT with the 4.3 engine and it was a gutless beast lol. Super slow. I just got a 2020 Z71 LTZ with the 5.3. I test drive the V6 first and then decided to go for the V8 for the towing and I love hearing the V8 roar. It’s nice in sport mode too. I like how Dave makes it more about the customer and a relationship vs a transaction. I had a very bad sales experience when I got the 2016 Silverado. I was 18 and they weren’t nice. I decided to go to a different dealership and they were awesome. Just like Dave pretty much. They showed me any truck I wanted to see and they gave me what I wanted for the trade. I still wish Dave sold cars in Minnesota.
I have that truck, gets good gas mileage if you stay within 3 miles of speed limit but the auto stop vibrate the truck when it stops, very irritating. I had the 5.7 EcoBoost with 212000+ miles company truck and they replaced it with this one. I never got this kind of milage but it was fun to drive, think I will miss it.
Peak torque at that low rpm just seems like a bill for a new engine right outside of the warranty to me... Seems like your getting every drop of engine out of this thing at all times, and i bet it costs a rediculous price for a replacement engine.
I'm scared of the new diesels with that def crap. That has diesel technology in that engine. My semi is a straight 6 cylinder with a turbo. Pulls 80,000. Because of the turbo. It pulls about 7,000. Pounds. That's gd impressive guys! Homerun gm!
I think you can look at it in a good way in that you get a cash discount. Depending if their cash price is cheaper than other gas stations that don't do this.
Not a fan of auto stop. At a red light the car behind me misjudged and came up super fast. Mashed the gas and got away just in time. With the delay of auto stop I would have been in a serious accident. I prefer total control of any vehicle I'm driving thank you.
At the time of this vid, it would have been about 2.50 a gallon regular in southern ny, right now its about 2.95. Most people who cry about start stop still think engines work as if they had carburetors. What I don't like about this engine (maybe its the trans idk) is that at 60mph you're at 1400rpm. My 2005 buick with a 3.6L 4 speed at 60 will ride at about 1200 rpm, and I know it would go lower if the trans had a 5th gear higher up. So unless the 8 speed doesn't have a good high gear, which i doubt, this thing needs to chill at a very high rpm in order to maintain conservative highway speeds. Combine that with the DFM of the V8's and I don't see the benefits of this engine in any meaningful way
@@bendino9016 comment is 3 years old. With that said the thing has three overdrive gears, the fact the 0.65~ gear (I forget what the 8 speeds tallest gear is) isn't enough to get the RPMS down to like 1200 when just cruising is sad. The diesel and the V8's have a 3.23 which gets them cruising at 1200 ish. Mind you all three of those engines with that 3.23 run circles around this thing. And if you want it they offer the 3.73 with both V8's and the diesel, which make better towing gears than this.
Nothing beats the feeling of running your engine late at night hoping your neighbors don’t complain next thing in the morning ...... GM honestly triggered me with the v4 🤦🏿♂️
Finally! The review I’ve been searching for! I had to sift through a lot of garbage to get here. Thanks a lot Dave. I think I’m sold
Sean, Glad you found this video and it helped out. If you didn't get to stop at a dealer and drive one go do it, It's impressive!
The in-line configuration is inherently superior in terms of weight and friction loss. Keep refining this Chevy!

The only thing I don’t like about the auto start/stop would be it would be hard on your starter
the starters are not standard starters and an engine starting hot has virtually no wear on the starter
They make is easy to turn off though, just have do it every time you start her up.

The Auto Stop thing I just think the starter and other parts components are being used more than they normally were. should be where you can turn it off and on. I believe that 2.7 l versus the 5.3 only gets a couple miles a gallon better
You can disable auto stop with a button on the dash
Credit and cash is the same price in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and it is $2.15 a gallon
cheapest I've seen so far... You guys may be under 2 bucks soon!
Wish they had this trim level with the same packages but without chrome
The 5.3 has proven itself as reliable. I will wait to see if the 2.7 can prove itself also before I consider one.
I'm right there with you. Only time will tell

The auto-stop-start button needs to have a memory function so you don't have to turn it off every time you restart the truck.
I agree that it should default the position the driver wants it in however... at least there is a button
Something to break
you want some cheese with that whine? Yea, it's so annoying to reach over and touch the button to deactivate the auto stop. NOT.
You can buy the AUTOSTOP ELIMINATOR autostopeliminator.com for around $70-80
That motor is not in the Colorado, the gas mileage would be 25 to 30 mpg which is too good.
I would be willing to lease a truck like this.🤔

It felt the same to me, they both handle very well. The 5.3L is an additional $1395. Nothing on the Diesel as of yet.
I drove both this model and the 5.3 trail boss , the new chassis feels great on either. My trailboss with its lift is very nimble for a full size truck, much more than my 13 sierra I traded in.
Anyone have any updates on how reliable this 2.7 is? Any issues specially after warranty expires
Good questions
What are gas mileage numbers between the 2.7 vs. 5.3?
does anyone know the answer to this auto stop question? I occasionally travel the interstates and especially on I95 I get stuck. Sometimes I crawl and sometimes I will sit there for 20 minutes or more and not move an inch. My Titan truck does not have auto stop (05) model and it is 90 degrees plus and the motor is purring and I have the A/c going. If I had auto stop , the engine is STOPPED and have my foot on the brake waiting to inch forward how does the air conditioning keep me cool with the engine stopped? Can't figure that one out. Why would you not kill the battery. Compressor is running, etc.
Great question! In our early start stop vehicles, like the 2016 Malibu, the A/C would start blowing out hot air (which is crazy). It seems they now have them programmed to keep the A/C flowing. Also, if and when it does go into auto stop it is only for limited time (seems to only be a minute or two) before turning back on... there is also an Off button in the Silverado so you can deactivate it all together each time you start the truck.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Thanks. This is not a criticism so please don't take it that way but doesn't it seem if you just didn't even have this system that the extra gas used is so negligible that it probably only adds up toprobably less than a dollar a tankful. I don't know, just seems it really isn't needed.
Yea, I'd agree the amount of saving at the pump is probably very minimal but it helps manufacturers hit their federal CAFE standards. Every extra mile per gallon from EPA helps raise the average
@@DaveBsellsChevy Thanks. Your response explains it perfectly. This must be the reason all manufacturers do this.
The auto-stop is terrible in the south during the summer....100 degrees 90% humidity and that engine shuts off, then your AC gets warm, and it takes a few minutes to cool back down. I can see it being ok in the winter because your eninge continues to put off heat when it shuts off. I believe you wpuldnt like it if you lived in a hot climate
You can just that off on this Truck, and yes it’s a terrible feature first button I push after starting.
Which dealer do you work at ? I'm local and would like to give you visit !!!
I'm at Schumacher of Livingston
What are the mechanics saying about it?
nothing bad as of yet... actually one of our techs and a service writer both bought one.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Cool.....I own a mustang ecoboost and am very happy with it.
I got one,and i love it.
Awesome!!
I agree traded a diesel for mine Best driving Truck I've ever had...
I had a 2016 Silverado LT with the 4.3 engine and it was a gutless beast lol. Super slow. I just got a 2020 Z71 LTZ with the 5.3. I test drive the V6 first and then decided to go for the V8 for the towing and I love hearing the V8 roar. It’s nice in sport mode too. I like how Dave makes it more about the customer and a relationship vs a transaction. I had a very bad sales experience when I got the 2016 Silverado. I was 18 and they weren’t nice. I decided to go to a different dealership and they were awesome. Just like Dave pretty much. They showed me any truck I wanted to see and they gave me what I wanted for the trade. I still wish Dave sold cars in Minnesota.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you are loving your Silverado
What dealership was nice? Im in the market and am near Mauer but may go to different dealership if better?
We all miss those gas prices
How much does it cost to fill it up? And how often do you have to do so?
24 gallons.
Gas is cheap who needs this. I will keep my 5.3
Ill keep my 6.2
5.7. The beast that will not die.
I'm doing the 4 cylinder because of insurance but at the moment gas is 2.70 a gallon so yeah
Gas where I live is still 3.98 and has been all year.
I have that truck, gets good gas mileage if you stay within 3 miles of speed limit but the auto stop vibrate the truck when it stops, very irritating. I had the 5.7 EcoBoost with 212000+ miles company truck and they replaced it with this one. I never got this kind of milage but it was fun to drive, think I will miss it.
I'm getting mine 4×4 rst package crew cab for about 34k. Ask me where? Best deal in the country I bet?
Where did you get it?
Thank you for your knowledge.
Glad I can help
Washington state and it’s 3.4 a gal
pricier on the west coast.. we are currently about $2.60
They of put the 10 speed or 6 why did they put the horrible 8 speed?
9300 pounds pulling capacity... they upped it.
Yup, that they did
Peak torque at that low rpm just seems like a bill for a new engine right outside of the warranty to me... Seems like your getting every drop of engine out of this thing at all times, and i bet it costs a rediculous price for a replacement engine.
It sounds like car lol i love how technology works never thought that such a big truck would use such a small engine
I agree, it sounds so funny to hear a full sized pick up truck has a 2.7L in it.
0-60 6.8 seconds-6.2 liter 6.6 seconds
is the turbo spool sound annoying? you said you could hear it with the windows up .. i imagine its pretty loud and annoying iwth the windows down.
No, you can hear it if you listen for it.. not overwhelming at all
I'm scared of the new diesels with that def crap. That has diesel technology in that engine. My semi is a straight 6 cylinder with a turbo. Pulls 80,000. Because of the turbo. It pulls about 7,000. Pounds. That's gd impressive guys! Homerun gm!
Def emissions kills diesel engines just a matter of time
I just hit 200,000 with my semi this week. No engine issues yet. *fingers crossed*
These are fast.
I was very impressed the first time I drove it
Great review
Thanks Chris😊
Great video
Only crazy ppl complain about auto stop start. Btw appreciate GM for giving us this tiny motor option.
Lol why? Stop start sucks in real world use.
that's what i need to know i don't need the v8 i just like the look and i have the efficiency with that v4
4 cylinder not a v engine
SoCal gas = $3.05 a gallon regular
That price difference is insane. Lots of places give you a discount for cash, but 14 cents a gallon? Seems a bit ridiculous.
plus we cannot even pump it ourselves!
does the 4 cylinder have 4x4?!?!
Dave B sells Chevy Your reply does not match my question. Is this a copy and paste job?
Again, does the 4 cylinder Silverado have 4x4? Yes or no?
@@515ventures3 ooops, that's wierd that reply was for a different comment... to answer your question, yes you can get the 2.7L in 4x4
Dave B sells Chevy Okay thanks
Wtf! Why do they charge more for using credit?? Gas is around $2 for regular here. Was cheaper
it's crazy, they pass their merchant CC processing fees right to the customer
I think you can look at it in a good way in that you get a cash discount. Depending if their cash price is cheaper than other gas stations that don't do this.
Paid $2.23 for regular yesterday at Costco. Milwaukee Wi.
Nice, We're currently in the $2.40's
I don’t pay for fuel. I drive a Tesla but still have a soft spot for trucks.
Right there with you.. between my Volt and Bolt I have barely have to stop to get fuel.... What are your thoughts of Cyber Truck??
Dave B sells Chevy Cyber Truck? I’m all in! I can’t wait to see the final product.
@@incarswetrust me too.. at first glance I had the "what the hell" reaction but it grew on me real quick
Keep comments respectful. That's difficult to do when dealing with a car salesperson.
Not a fan of auto stop. At a red light the car behind me misjudged and came up super fast. Mashed the gas and got away just in time. With the delay of auto stop I would have been in a serious accident. I prefer total control of any vehicle I'm driving thank you.
At the time of this vid, it would have been about 2.50 a gallon regular in southern ny, right now its about 2.95. Most people who cry about start stop still think engines work as if they had carburetors.
What I don't like about this engine (maybe its the trans idk) is that at 60mph you're at 1400rpm. My 2005 buick with a 3.6L 4 speed at 60 will ride at about 1200 rpm, and I know it would go lower if the trans had a 5th gear higher up. So unless the 8 speed doesn't have a good high gear, which i doubt, this thing needs to chill at a very high rpm in order to maintain conservative highway speeds. Combine that with the DFM of the V8's and I don't see the benefits of this engine in any meaningful way
its probably the rear end 3.42. do you really want the 3.08?
@@bendino9016 comment is 3 years old. With that said the thing has three overdrive gears, the fact the 0.65~ gear (I forget what the 8 speeds tallest gear is) isn't enough to get the RPMS down to like 1200 when just cruising is sad. The diesel and the V8's have a 3.23 which gets them cruising at 1200 ish. Mind you all three of those engines with that 3.23 run circles around this thing. And if you want it they offer the 3.73 with both V8's and the diesel, which make better towing gears than this.
I want one of those!!
I want 1 of those!!
I got one as a loaner and for the first 200 miles I thought it was a 5.3 MAYBE a six cylinder I was surprised when I opened the hood
It has good power right! If you don't tow anything that engine is a good option and will save you $1500 bucks
NORWEY OSLO 17.40 NOK , IS AROUND 2$ FOR 1Ltr
Nothing beats the feeling of running your engine late at night hoping your neighbors don’t complain next thing in the morning ...... GM honestly triggered me with the v4 🤦🏿♂️
A full size truck should not sound like a Honda.
It's cheaper on insurance and gas and has almost the same torque,power and acceleration
Papi Uuhmelmehahay your Honda can’t haul anything just a couple luggages.
Currently $2.95 in Mid Michigan.
climbing a little higher out that way
Solid video!
Thanks!
