A nice truck. I could do without the automatic tailgate. I have become a fan of the 2.7 turbo as on paper it is all I need. If I ordered one or bought one off the lot I would want the towing package and bed liner and that should do it. Great review.
The beefier 2.7 refresh is still 160 lb lighter than the 5.3 and that weight difference completely changes how the truck handles. It absorbs bumps much better, breaking is much more responsive and cornering is significantly improved.
@@jimbell3242 No it doesn't.. ride quality is determined by spring rate and shock dampening force.. not weight. Semi trucks have an extremely bumpy ride, so much so that the cab is suspended from the frame with their own shock absorbers.
You better not take any passengers or your wife with you because it will make the ride so harsh or the brakes might not work or the handling could be so changed you might wind up driving off a mountain so yes it's the perfect truck with the four cylinder as long as you're the only one in it but if you have the 5.3 l V8 you can bring your whole family to enjoy it with you with perfect handling breaking and ride quality 🤷
I own a 22 refresh sierra elevation with the 2.7 it has 430 lb feet of tongue plenty of power I had a 19 sle 5.3 this 2.7 so far is fine and is getting about 1.2 mpg more the infotainment system is awesome
gotta admit, this inside is really nice looking, do wish I can get it at a lower trim level specially with vinyl floors but I guess eventually it will float down lol ...
These things are not without problems. I work in a Chevy dealer so I hear everything.#1 complaint is MPG around Pittsburgh with its hills the 2.7 turbo gets as low as 12.2 mpg yep worse then a V8. The base transmission is that 8 speed, those things blow up so often that we call em the Destruct-o-Matic. It’s not a question of if it blows but when ( it’s so common we keep at least one trans on reserve at all times). Next is the lack of dealer installed extras. Those tube steps, bed liners and floormats? Dealer installed so your steps staying on is dependent on the tech that bolted em on. ( any add on you buy it’s dealer installed btw). Then there’s the wait times which are all over the place. We can’t get you exactly what you want unless your willing to wait a while for it. Lastly the lease offers on these trucks is not very competitive cause dealers are trying to build up used inventory so they’re offering low mileage 20,000 over 24 month leases to try to force the vehicles back onto the lots. The last thing is pricing GM has pretty much dropped the regular cab short bed Silverado and they’ve dropped the Uber reliable 4.3 V6 and 6 speed auto to start the base prices at over 30k. Like I said I work for a GM dealer and I drive a Toyota that should tell you all you need to know
Thanks for the feedback. It's too bad that GM didn't turn that 4.3 V6 into a turbo version and put that in their 1500 series. The 2.7 seems more suited to the Canyon/Colorado or SUVs. Has GM ever admitted what is wrong with that 8 speed transmission? My dad's 19 Silverado has it and it's been a disaster. I don' t think that transmission will last long. Dealer keeps saying all is good with it. Meanwhile my 2010 Sierra with 6 speed and 5.3 just keeps rolling along with very few problems.
Is it just me, or does the undercarriage seem to have no skid plates or other protection? I don’t plan on doing any real off-roading, but I do spend time in the woods on dirt roads.
Was looking at this for someone that needs a truck. Overall, I think I’d still recommend Ford. My 3.5 EB has tons of power, good mpg, and I think I paid 5k less for my 2020 than this with more features. Fully loaded xlt version. Smaller screen, but that is the only downside I can see. I have also towed over 11k with power to spare.
Do you know if the LT is the only Silverado with the column shifter or if all these LTs have that shifter? What’s its 0-60? Do you even think this’ll get up to speed without even slowing down traffic any?
Yes, the RST also offers the column shifter but no other trim level with the new interior offer the column shifter. As for getting up to speed, no problem at all. It has more than enough power to get down the road with ease.

I have to say I would rather have the 5.3 but the truck itself is great. Thank you for a solid presentation.
Thank you!
when your valves crack at 50K miles you might think different....
@@chadhaire1711 you’re falsely implying the 2.7 will also make it to 50K LMFAO
@@TheSavage3.6 cant be any worse then 5.3
@@chadhaire1711 you’re implying a tiny 4 cyl boosted to push 310HP will last longer than a N/A 5.3, both are equally bad

Thank you for sharing, Dale!
I could've swore GM increased the torque to 430 ft pounds for the 2022 model year for the 2.7 liter turbo motor??

That is a good point and I’m sure in time, that will be the case. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.
I'll probably get this just for the post work-out supplement compartments mentioned at 7:36

Sadly, Toyota has killed their V8 in the full size pickup with the only choices being a TT 3.5 or Hybrid 3.5.
The epa fuel economy ratings between this 2.7 and Fords 2.7 Ecoboost are insane. Ford gets an extra 4-5 mpg combined
not worth it solely based on price of diesel

I see no problem recommending Ford but you can’t compare what you paid in 2020 to current prices as all brands have increased since then
@@thomasmcghee2468 Wonder why that is?
Sounds like my wife's HONDA
I thought of a Honda during the test drive. You are right!
17mpg? OMG hah those are still way too optimistic.
I like how they increase the horsepower and torque.
The seats are just a carry over from the 2021 models , very little padding on long trips ! A redesign of the seats is much needed.

this truck only gets 14/15 mpg in the city and you are worried about the shifter.....LOL...priceless......

And why shouldn’t I be?
