As an owner of a welding company I have gone through several trucks in my fleet. I recently sold a 2019 6.7 Cummins and a 6.2 ford and bought two of these 2022 2.7 4 cylinder chevys. These little engines are amazing on gas mileage and have more than enough power for the average contractor. I couldn’t be happier with what Chevy is doing. My 6.2 ford was getting 11 mpg. The Chevy is at 21 and hauls the same load no problem.
well yeah what do you expect out of a much smaller engine. lol
@@ZACH_95_ with a smaller engine you would typically expect poor performance. That is not the case with this new engine.
Hope you don’t plan on keeping it for 10 years. If you’re trading out truck every couple of years you should be fine. These engines will not last 200k miles, especially if you’re towing. It’s too much stress on the engine in a full size truck
@@lesterparker1594 I usually sell them after 5 years. It’s hard to get 200k out of any engine these days whether it’s gas or diesel. The emissions stuff usually kills them first. I had an egr valve fail at 95k miles. At least these little gas engines are cheap.
@@yourfavoritewelder3162 I disagree. I took a 99 ford escort to 200k with literally no problems. A 2011 Ford Focus to 200k with no issues. Regular maintenance and not driving it like a race car. And those are 2 cheap ass cars not known for reliability. Both were still driving fine when I traded them in.
Cool engine but these new trucks are just way too overpriced. nearly 50k for essentially a basic work truck with a 4 cylinder is.... well ridiculous.
You think nearly 50k is expensive? Where have you been the last 2 years?
Build back broke.
Vehicles period, have been increasing in price for a long time. This isn't anything new..
@@jdhunt1284 everyone has a different reason for getting a truck. For example, we have a 2021 Toyota Tacoma SR as just an extra vehicle to have around the house. I believe with the 4wd and the V6 the sticker was just over $35k.
@@jdhunt1284 just because these trucks are 70k doesnt mean 50k still isnt expensive for basically a work truck lol
What's really exciting is if the Colorado gets this engine.
No kiddin, got me sittin on the edge of my seat, and biting my fingernails. Lol. Whoopty damn do
Won't happen. It's the same story with the 4.3 V6. Everyone BEGGED for gm to drop it in and replace the 3.6... I'm surprised that this is the base engine now. Given the fuel price difference between gas and diesel (at least in my area) and the premium pricetag up front, this engine basically kills the 3.0L. the HP and TQ are very similar, this is lighter, cheaper and pretty fuel efficient. Whose gonna buy the 3.0L or even the 5.3....
It will but I don’t think it’ll have this version of it . It might have the pre refresh 2.7 tune
@@carltongray3302 maybe... Definitely seems like they are going right after Ford Ranger's 2.3l and the f-150's 2.7l with the respective outputs then on the Colorado and the Silverado.
its going in the colorado fer sure
I have the 2021 with this 4 banger. This is the truck most truck owners should buy. Very capable for most. Longevity still to be proven. That’s why I leased it. Will say in my 7000 miles so far my lifetime MPG per the computer is 21.6 mixed driving. One highway trip got 26mph for one tank.
I’m averaging over 25.6 in the 3.0 Duramax with some mountain towing. Best single tank is 30.6. I guess I’m missing the point of the 4 cyl….
I’m usually against leasing, just a bad financial decision. But with this truck I think you made the right choice. 4 banger in a full size truck is too much stress on the engine
@@lesterparker1594 How is it a bad decision to lease? Maybe for you. Don't speak for everyone else. Buy a vehicle is a bad financial decision. But even you did it.
@@StrangeTimesNear it’s a terrible financial decision to have a perpetual car payment. Buy a reliable car and drive it for 10 or 15 years and save tons of money. There’s a reason most of us are in debt up to our eyeballs. You don’t have to always have the newest car every 3 years. Pay a car off and drive it til it falls apart. Leasing is so much more expensive over time
I hate when people say lease....just say rented....you rented a truck.....
I have the 2022 LTD with the previous 2.7T. It’s honestly fun to drive with the expectations it’s still a 4 cylinder. 10k miles and no issues yet.
I picked up a 22 custom trail boss with the new 2.7 and I love it. Came from a 16 Sierra 5.3, the 2.7 feels like it has more power especially low end. It feels like it has more pep, I enjoy driving this truck more than my 5.3 which I wasn’t expecting when I decided to test drive.
What have you been seeing with your MPG?
@specialtyasm My 22 custom gets 25 when I drive like a grandma
More hp and torque than the old 7.4 vortec. New engines are amazing.
Yea. But try abusing them, or figuring out why they won't start...
@@craigquann well its a chevy so...
I’ve always said that if you’re like me and want to keep a truck for 10+ years and 200k miles, you would not want this truck. If you’re dumb and buy a new truck every 2 or 3 years, then go ahead. That 4 cylinder had a bunch of power, but it’s going to be stressed in a full size truck. In a midsize truck it’s a good option if you’re not towing a bunch of weight.
@@lesterparker1594 Not the way I look at it myself. People who regularly buy new vehicles are not dumb imo, just fortunate. I appreciate them since they provide the used vehicles that I end up with. If someone enjoys having nice new vehicles and they can afford it then I am happy for them.
@@jimmyjames8736 sure if you can afford it then by all means, go ahead. The issue is that the majority of Americans can’t afford it, yet they go into debt up to their eyeballs buying a $60k truck every 3 years when they make $50k a year. I know a handful of people at my work that are more than $10k upside down on brand new cars. I would bet that over half the people buying new cars can’t afford them.
I have the 2021 2.7T. And I absolutely love it!
I have this truck - exactly. Same color, trim and rally package. I am impressed with ride, handling, power, parking ease. It’s got just about everything I need. Coming from SUV and a car, a truck
does need all the extra bells and whistles…while those are nice, I’ll take the attributes that made American and the Big 3 cars great- this truck has all that. Can’t wait to tow! Thanks for the review!
Had my 2020 Custom Rally for just over 2 years and I'm still impressed. So far I am averaging 20.2MPG since the day I got it, about 2mpg better then my Colorado V6 did. I do not see anything above 23 on long trips though, running about 70. I will definitely get a 23 when my lease is up, still not brave enough to buy one with this engine yet. It's working really hard.
I just can't get over the 4 banger sounds coming out of the exhaust!
I thought the same way too. But when I’m getting 21-22 mpg out of my 4 cylinder, it definitely helps make that sound bearable. Lol.
That's the engine that should be optional for the Colorado.
Yep, the ZR2 would be amazing with this motor.
I suspect it will be available in the Colorado, albeit a detuned version (if so still should be great for the aftermarket to unlock).
@Marcus Wilson yeah makes sense for them to just nip the most powerful midsize claim while also pushing torque past other gas equipped models.
@Marcus Wilson certainly, not to mention physical components in a midsize not being necessarily the same size or robustness as a full-size so power and torque management will need to reflect that.
That would make to much sense though
Please do a one year, longer term review on one of these. I'd love to see how it holds up for everything you guys do with these trucks.
I bought one in February this year and I tow my dirt bikes Snow mobiles and my small trailer for yard projects It's held up just fine We also own a regular 22 Silverado V8 5.7 and honestly they are pretty damn similar I was very hesitant about getting this as a second truck but I got an amazing deal on it from my buddy who owns a Chevy dealer But it's worked out great so far Has just as much get up and go on the highway as my V8 and is s little smoother and quieter obviously
@@mikedee7163 you mean 5.3 v8? GM hasn't used a 5.7 in trucks since '99.
@@mikedee7163 where’s you buddy’s dealership. Does he have any more good deals. It seems like they are coming back around maybe. Thanks!
Can’t trust an opinion from someone who doesn’t know what engine is in their vehicle
I think this motor in the new single cab, short bed would be the best configuration. Got me thinking bout looking into it.
Ford 2.7 is probably the best in this class. Smooth and efficient. Aside from oil pan issues, no problems.
Coworker of mine gets 26mpg average for his mixed drive and 29mpg when there is no traffic with 2wd model.
He better keep it then. The 3.0l duramax is the only truck that suppose to get that milage
@@454budman Duramax is efficient. But diesel costs almost a dollar more and comes with higher maintenance costs.
@@ShersGarage i dont get when people say this. You got to buy def every 5k miles which is like $20 and buy a fuel filter every 15k miles. To me its very minimal
@@454budman exactly! Higher maintenance costs. Gas engine doesn't have those. Also added complexity of the said def system and possible catastrophic fuel pump failures.
I like the fact GM brought back the regular cab short bed. Its only in a work truck,but its a start.
I went on a roadtrip with my buddy last week in his 2.7L silverado. Surprisingly it has no problem to pass on the hills and its good on gas but i kept telling my budy it sounds like a taxi
A turbo on a 4 cylinder, what a novel idea! Imagine if they were to try this on V8... One can only dream.
😂 we don’t have to dream lol, but Chevy should include turbos on a v8 too!
Because nobody needs that in a pickup truck, it's not a muscle car. The power these new trucks make have plenty of power for the people who are going to use them for there intended use.
@@ZACH_95_ buy me a sport car then lol, we all don’t have 100k on ourselves😂 that’s why we build our trucks and expect brands to build them for us lol.
U must have a honda civic bc thats where 4 cylinder belongs. V8 are here to stay
@@Samyouell11510 yup and obvi you don’t tow or anything related regularly and maintain said tow vehicle. If you did you would have noted that these power plants will not be reliable compared to the v8s. Case in point, run one 2019 Silverado 5.3 v8 towing 5k, averaging 13-15. Empty eco boost etc are at 12mpg! Lol.
I work at a GM dealership, I see a lot of people online being skeptical of the reliability of the 2.7T, and it’s without a good reason.
Don’t let someone who’s never driven, worked on, or even looked under the hood of one tell you they’re not a good choice.
They’re in all honesty the best half ton engine in a GM truck right now reliability wise, as the 5.3s and 6.2s tend to chew up lifters and bend push rods
Old heads will complain that anything that isn't a V8 is just garbage, but don't realize that the technology in this engine simply will outdo their V8.
If they did the research and heard about how well these engine are actually made and designed they'd probably be surprised
@@masonmethot3186 it’s really hard for many people to wrap their heads around that, I find that they tend to have their mind made up long before doing any research.
@@masonmethot3186 it is garbage lol, the boost you need to push a tiny engine that hard to work in a half ton pickup is going to be massive and it wouldn’t last to 80K let alone 50. not to mention the copious amounts of issues with GMs 8 speed.
My 2.7 2wd crew gets 22mpg pretty often. When it's really hot it will get 24-25. My best is 25.9 for a cruise around town after a long freeway ride. 87 octane always.
2022.
You are suppose to be running 93 octane on the 2.7 according to Chevy.
My Chevy manual is clearly marked 87 octane recommended for this motor
I Loved The 2.7L Turbocharged I4 Motor Because Of 430 FT Of Torque It's A 6.8 Second Truck I Wanted To See It On The Ike Gauntlet.
I really wonder if GM will let the upcoming Colorado/Canyon versions of the 2.7T remain at the 310 hp/430 lb-ft of the Silverado/Sierra trims. If so, those numbers would be really impressive for a mid-sizer.
I am curious too. Now that Toyota punted a refresh of the Tacoma I will be looking at Frontier, Canyon, and Ranger for next Truck purpose.
Just ordered one last month and you can get it with the 310/430 package. I would think this model would weight at least 1000 pounds less than full size. Each 100 pounds is like 10 more horse so that should knock a good second off the zero-60, maybe more.
I just bought this exact truck with the new updated engine. I was very curious and skeptical about the power before test driving. I was very impressed. I towed a side by side (around 2k lbs) up an 8% grade canyon road (in Utah) and had no problems. It did extremely well. My dad was with me and is a truck driver and he has the 6.2 1500 and he couldn’t tell that much of a difference besides the noise 😄. Looking forward to trying out some heavier trailers in the future.
Nice review. But the difference between driving the 2.7 and 6.2 is as wide as the Grand Canyon.
Now remember this 2.7 is not replacing chevy V8's it's replacing the 4.3V6. Unlike chevys competitors which are jamming V6's down their customers throats(shall not mention which brand) V8's are still king, time tested, Reliable, and they sure sound F'n outstanding!
The 4.3 is still a better made more reliable engine that this 2.7 i4
I wish GM would make a 6 cylinder (I-6) version of this engine. I'd buy it in a heartbeat
That would be the Duramax but as a diesel 😁💪
Put in a bmw n54 engine.
They make a inline V-6 in the diesel version on the half ton
@@keithcollins7435 inline v6? You mean cylinders in a "V" configuration (v6) or straight inline "I" configuration (I6)? I'm not trying to be a smart aleck with you just helping you👍.
The trailblazer i6 with the same turbo setup no active fuel either!
Have a 2021 2.7 Custom Rally sitting at about 11,000 miles now. Very comfortable ride and plenty of passing power around town or on the highway. I'm not missing a V8 but I wish the sound was there...great value for a new full size truck under $50k.
I just purchased a 2022 model, what type of gas do you use, regular or premium? I was told regular is good but use premium if you want better performance.
@@rm08081what grade gas did u go with ?
Coworker thought his little four was fast. But the Hemi hemmed him up real quick. I'm still not sure why he thought there would be a different outcome. He literally came to work and said I've got a four-cylinder little outrun your regular cab Hemi. And I said it's on brother. Good on GM for doing what Honda Fanboys have been doing since the 90s
Funny story. I rented a 2.7 Silverado and raced against my buddy who has a 2016 5.7 hemi quad cab, and I beat him by a truck's length
@@campbell0162 I believe that. Quadcated hemis are slow as s*** I have an RT Year 2013. There's no hemi besides the TRX in a truck that's touching me
I have owned a 2.7 2019 GMC Sierra SLE double cab for 3 years now. 45,000 miles, I have towed over 5,000 lbs a couple of times, and have maxed the payload many times.
I love Diesel engines, which is why I gave this a try, and I have had zero issues. It’s beyond capable, and I got lucky on my purchase price because the dealer I got it from said they couldn’t sell it… no one wanted a 4cyl full size truck. MPG real world is 21.8 since I have owned it. I wish the transmission was the 10spd or manual as the 8spd is a little rough, but so far I have had no issues.
The purchase price is high on this one, but if you need a great truck that’s not 50k+ this is it. Dealers have a hard time moving them, so shop around and see if you can score one under msrp.
this is not a Diesel.
I know it’s not a diesel, but it’s based on similar technology. The torque at low RPMs is very similar to diesels, and GM built the engine to withstand similar engine pressure.
My bad for not being clear. Long story short I have been impressed👍
Wow wee
Very nice !
@@Louthemailman he never said it was a diesel?
I just got a 2023 trailboss 2.7 turbo and I really like it. I had a 22 ltd RST with the 5.3 v8 and to be honest I’m glad I made the change. Depends on what you use it for.
I have a 22 trailboss 2.7. How’s the 2.7 compared to your 5.3 gas mileage?
Do that run at 100 degress F is truly impressive. Would be very interested in seeing the new standard box reg cab 2wd do the same run, as it has about 600lbs lower curb weight with the same power.
just bought a LT with the 2.7 and upgraded dash today. most impressive part for us is the suspension and handling. power is good, mpg is about 21.8 combined with a light foot. very quiet engine. Just a little turbo whistle if you listen really hard. I am impressed
Same mpg as a 5.3 , not the I own one but a friend does and he’s happy with it
Just wait till they put the 10sp transmission with this engine
Hey Dan what gas type do you use on your truck
I bought a 22 Silverado LT 4cyl 2.7 as a second truck and I've been very surprised by how well it handles all around If you do a lot of highway driving but still want a good size truck you can't go wrong Or even if you tow smaller stuff like dirt bikes Snow mobiles Boat This truck does it with ease My other truck is the exact same but the regular V8 5.7 and they're pretty evenly matched In fact when that turbo kicks in it can jump ahead of the V8 Course we had to race them against each other Lol But it's been a great truck so far 10,000 miles in
People stick to one thing and are afraid to try new things lol, good on you for being optimistic.
You'll love it even more when the AFM/DOD takes a shit on itself.
Just got one of these as a loaner while my 5.3 is in the shop, I’m absolutely blown away at the drive ability. I’m a very spirited driver, and the 2.7 with the eight speed is light-years better than a 5.3 with the six speed. Now looking for a Trail Boss.
These trucks are now priced at $38.5k here in Az. I'm liking where the prices are going.
First time I heard about this engine, I was intrigued. After seeing the TFL test videos, I was amazed. Now, I’m so impressed by the increase of torque and towing. Being a 5.3l Silverado owner myself, this engine has what it takes to go up against the V8s from GM. Not bad 0-60 mph time. I would love to drive a Silverado with this engine, just to try it out. Can’t wait for the upcoming videos testing in Colorado. Great job, Andre and TFL. 🛻💨
I got a rental with tus engine and wow it impressed. Smooth
Swap the halogens out for LED's and I dig the upgraded front end. I think it looks sweet especially for the discount over the higher trim levels
Fr, first thing I did!
A lot of people hating on this engine and the fact that the rcsb will only come with this engine option but I imagine the rcsb is gonna be impressively quick
That's a great little engine, and will be a great truck for somebody that doesn't tow at our above 9k.
I don’t like to see people go over 10,000 with a half ton. You get a 6.2 or 3.0 and your payload quickly drops. 1500 lbs payload doesn’t go very far with a small family and a travel trailer. I don’t know any half ton I would want a 30+ ft trailer on. You really aren’t loosing that much with this 2.7. Wait until it gets a hybrid power train, that will be awesome!
You don’t want to tow anywhere 9k with this, I don’t care what the stupid max rating says. I don’t like towing almost 10k with any half ton. They don’t have stability, or reliability to do it.
I have one... the new refresh 310/430. I've grossed 14,020. Pulled completely fine.. no crazy shifts, no revving up... I had 6100 lbs of rock on a 24' trailer.... I was just driving normal around town and 60mph on the highway was showing 14.2 mpg... granted this wasn't a camper or big enclosed trailer catching alot of wind... I'm sure you would feel that and hurt mpg more
@@calebniederhofer6529 and its not even an engine issue, its just that the chassis, brakes, and spring rates aren't meant for it
@@SOHCGT96 Absolutely , My 2.7 Ecoboost will outpull a 5.3 up the mountains. I wouldn’t pull anything over 6-7k with it. If I need to pull around almost 10k , I am going to a 3/4 truck. People buy half tons all the time, thinking they can pull 10k. They end up going to a 3/4 truck. Like you stated, power is not the issue.
I recently purchased one and went on a short trip and got 24.9 mpg loved it!!! I have been getting around 19.8 in town. I am hooking up to the camper tomorrow so we shall see about the towing aspect of it. I hope it doesnt disappoint me, I am optimistic. The interior is the same except i have the new dash and the 13.4 in monitor screen and I am extatic about it 2 thumbs up for sure. Also, they could have upgraded the rest though. So far I am happy, T.B.C. hopefully this helps someone.
What type of gas do you put on it?
@@chi-city2351 89 octane
How long before 1 daytime running light is out?
lmfao
I built a regular cab loaded out work truck with the steel rims and the 4cylinder. It’s about 40k but it’s 2 wheel drive and gives you all your needs without breaking the bank if you’re not towing that heavy load.
I was hands on with a RC/SB 4x4 yesterday and it was just under $42k with a moderate amount of options. It weighed in under 4800lbs.
@@JustinKelly how did you like it? Do you think it’s the best everything to do vehicle if you have limited parking and keep the truck within its constraints?
For that price I’d you’re not doing a ton of towing you should look at the new ranger. A 4 banger is a better idea in a midsize truck.
@@lesterparker1594 I am 6’2” and 290.
@@bigmountain7561 hit the gym bro. I’m 6’3” and 180. Fits me perfect
Are we gonna get a tow video with this updated 430lbft engine? I’d like to see a maxed out 8-9k Ike run!👍
I love my 22" Refresh with the new 2.7 but it's still 2 seconds slower than the F150's 2.7. Granted, it's a 4 cylinder single turbo, compared to v6 twin turbo so it's impressive.
19-21 custom front end was so much nicer.
I've been in one of these before and it is quite quick! Much better than the 4.3 v6 imo. Unfortunately, the ford 2.7 ecoboost is a better engine with better mpg.
Idk why they didn't just keep the i5 at this point I can't imagine a turbo i4 lasting very long pulling such a heavy truck with 4 wheel drive
Ford is a v6 is not a 4v
How is a V6 with twin turbos better with MPG than a turbocharged 4 cylinder? It should be the other way round, IMO.
@@thejosh0100 - the I5 was a terrible engine. You just can’t add turbo to an existing engine. That has been proven over & over. The 4 cylinder her is built in the same manner a a 4cylinder turbo diesel that will last 400,000 miles plus. There’s no reason this engine can’t last a similar amount.
Times have changed substantially in how the manufacturers are willing to build their engines. The Ford 2.7 is again a very sturdy engine built with the same material Ford builds their V6 turbo diesels.
The alloys available today , eve compared to the days of the I5 3.5 and 3.7 motors are so much better!! You can build a smaller engine, much more stout and have the longevity. They are not always light though. The GM 4 cylinder is their lightest full size truck engine. The Ford 2.7 is a HEAVIER power plant than the 5.0 litre V8. That’s as a package including the turbos etc.
To each their own, and I’m not a Chevy guy, but I would get this over the 5.3 V8. Much better torque with decent horsepower!! Ford proved wit their 2.7 that combination will generally outperform the 5.0 in everyday use and be a more reliable power plant as well. Especially 2018 - 2020. The jury is still out if they improved the 5.0 to be as reliable for 2021 & 2022 as it originally was,,,,,.
Times are very different now vs the powertrains you mentioned. That I5 had great numbers for hp & torque, but it had such a narrow power band that they just were not great performers!! I know, I had a 2007 Chevy Colorado 3.7 4x4 as a runabout. It was actually pretty decent off-road, but the fuel economy, power delivery, performance over all was just fair. There no way that motor would have been any good in a full size truck. You just can’t add a turbocharger to an existing engine not designed for the additional internal stresses without killing reliability and especially longevity. The I5 do last a long time though.
@@jrr5127
Well technically it's not a 4v either. It's an inline 4. All 4 cylinders are in a line.
Did you guys give up on testing the new 2.7 HO Silverado / Sierras? Ike Gauntlet, drag races against the 5.3 V8 and the 2.7 Ecoboost, MPG loops..... So much content potential. Did I miss those videos? The 2.7 HO seems to be the best value out there right now with the Chevy Custom and Sierra Pro. Plus you can get it in the Trail Boss. Cheers fellas!
Just picked up my 2024 Silverado 1500 with the Turbo Max Engine. The Window Sticker states: • 5 YEAR / 100,000 MILE* POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY, ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE &
COURTESY TRANSPORTATION. Nice suprise for me.
I can climb an 8% 5 mile grade at or under 2k rpm at 60 mph with this thing. And gain speed without down shifting. It really has the power it claims.
I had a 2017 5.3 silverado.transmission went out and when it went into the shop they gave me a 2020 2.7. I was very surprised when I floored it how quick it felt. It would be perfect for a hot shot parts truck, courier, or other contractor type jobs that don't require heavy towing.
I love how to wheel drive trucks are so hated on yet they can tow more and haul more... And you can still go a lot of places if you know how to drive plus you'll get better gas mileage and it's lighter and better if you want to make it into a race track
Trucks have been steadily getting more and more popular because of their creature comforts and versatility. They have become so luxurious to the point where you can take your family anywhere and still go pickup building or yard supplies at home depot or Lowes. Let's not forget bicycles and boats that families like to do together. That's why cars are disappearing from auto makers line ups. The more people want in their trucks the more expensive they will be.
So in 2014 their v6 was rated at 24 mpg. But they’ve replaced it with a 4 cylinder which gets the same gas mileage as the v8. Seriously, gm needs to fire Mary Barra already.
That’s what you get with diversity hires that don’t know what they’re doing.
GM needs to do something about their dashboard plastics. Looks like an old 90s Buick I used to own, brutal dated.
I test drove one today for 15 minutes. Amazing engine but the god damn transmission won't let you lug the engine. It wants so much to downshift at the slightest press of the accelerator that you can't let the boost make its magic and feel all that massive torque. It's supposed to have all the torque from 1500rpm but the transmission won't let it rev that slow, even 2000rpm it will downshift and bring it back to 3000rpm+
You can't roll the throttle and let the boost come up, like in my canyon diesel.
Impressive for a 2.7 liter . Good to see you guys using a dragy for data very accurate and can tell you more info g forces graphs etc..
I'm honestly seriously considering one of these for my next daily driver. But 22 MPG for the 2WD model?? I see no benefit to that. I thought they were supposed to get closer to 25??
Brother in law with one bested at 27. These trucks excel on the highway
all time best with my '19 2.7 is 28. I made the mistake of upgrading to 20's with a/t tires. dropped it to about 21-22
Guys turbo or not this truck is still a 4 cylinder.. the 5.3 V8 is more reliable and gets just as good gas mileage or better than the 2.7.. Go 8 !
I had a 2017 Silverado with the small V 8. In 2019 I decided to trade and went to my favorite Chevy dealer and told them I wanted another V8. They told me that they only had 4 cylinders in stock and that they could order me a V8. I was very mad but consented to test drive a four cylinder. To my surprise I couldn’t tell the difference in the 4 cylinder and the small V8 I had. Today I have 104,000 miles and have had no major problem. I wanted to trade and found the same 2024 truck has gone up 14,000.. part of this is the less discount you get today. At 73 years old I don’t want a 50.000 Silverado Lt so I bought new tires, brakes, tune up and flushed the radiator. It still looks great inside and out. I am doing to drive it two more years….I hope😅
A 2.7 liter 4 banger wow. Imagine if Toyota put a Corolla engine in the new tundra. The internet would break and Toyoda himself would be rolling in his grave.
I was going to consider the 2.7L, but it had the crummy 8speed and not the 10 speed
PLEASE do a head to head comparison with the Ford 2.7L.
No need to turn off air conditioning; if you go wide-open throttle the engine computer will turn it off. This sort of thing has been true for a very long time
Lol
From the info I have… the 8 speed transmission is the weak link here not the engine…
@@SuperSnakePlissken same, don’t know how the oldest engine design can be so unreliable, but lifter failure galore is a thing for gm.
8 speed was remedied for T1. This one has been improved further with new shift pattern/scheduling with the power update. You want recent un-reliable transmissions from GM? 6L80.
@@killercan10 6l80 is more reliable in the past decade compared to the 8speed… we will see as time passes. All Half ton trucks are inferior vehicles compared to the heavy duty counterparts imo. I own 2 3/4 ton gas trucks and I really would never even consider a half ton trucks.
@@LotsOfPaypa Spend a month in a trans shop or a GM dealer. I have 12 years at a GM dealer myself. You won't want another 6L80 again. 6L90 is good for the most part. 2014-2020 is the weak spot on the 6L80s. 07-13 they were actually pretty good units.
@@gmpartsguy9614 solid info with the years to look out for... My trucks are all pre 2007 with 4l80 and praying I never have to buy anything new for a very long time...
F-150 with the STX packages will eat this thing up. Just a huge step up interior wise. I would take this over a Ram based on the 2.7L being way more powerful than the ancient 3.6L v6.
🤔 they have problems and they don’t show it till your in no thanks
I would like to see a regular cab short bed with this redesign 2.7L on a high way loop and a 0-60 tesr or a comparison to the 3.0L Duramax
Wow. 430ft-lb of torque. That's impressive. Yea the LV3 V6 is definitely going to be replaced. Longevity is still going to be the real question.
The LV3 V6 already got discontinued
@@carltongray3302 really? Officially?
@@craigquann yeah they discontinued it beginning of the ‘22 year
@@carltongray3302 well shit. But I guess it was a matter of time. Personally I like mine. Not sure why they didn't turbocharge it and get rid of the bigger V8. The internals are strong enough.
@@craigquann would be a hard sell over the 6.2. Would’ve definitely made the 5.3 obsolete. I almost feel like the refreshed 2.7 makes the 5.3 near obsolete now besides max towing capability .
I have 2021, smooth, quite and runs like suv.
I remember Chevy guys talking trash about ford when they came out with the ecoboost V6. Now GM comes out with a turbo 4 banger no less, “it’s awesome” “it’s great”. Lol…
Me, I think it’s cool, I like it when companies take risks like this. It’s more truck than most people need. I’d buy one.
The 2.7 has been out in chevy for the past several years. Been waiting and waiting for videos saying the downfalls of it but there’s hardly anything out there which must mean it hasn’t given much ammunition to the 4-cylinder haters
All I've heard is a few timing chain issues but nothing widespread 🤷
More issues with the 8 spd. transmission. That's the weak-link here
@@Bigboyz-li7fo that's what I keep hearing about is that eight spd. Engine seems decent but the transmission......not so much
We've had the 2.7 for a year now. No issues with the engine or transmission. I do all the oil changes every 3k. I drive pretty conservative but My wife beats on it pretty bad. 19.7 mpg mostly stop and go driving.
If the new Colorado with this same engine and output isn't a 6-second to 60 mph truck OR if it doesn't get substantially better mpg than the outgoing naturally aspirated engined trucks, then what was the point of the switch to the turbo 4 cyl?
Liking the 2.7 turbo more and more. The truck / trim level in the truck in this video was very nice. The only thing I would want differently is steering wheel controls for that small information screen between the gauges if that is possible. I could also probably survive with a 2 wheel drive version. Thanks for the video.
I passed a straight piped chevy with that motor and was towing a 24ft toy hauler pribably around 6000lbs and i passed it listening to to its turbo scream to go up a 6 percent grade while i was in my 1987 300 i6 powered f350 hauling up dodge d100 lol i was maintaining 55 and he was losing speed lol i had an avg of 15.7 mpg coming from alamagordo to roswell through ruidoso, for a billboard on wheels im happy lol but that 2.7 i passed looked like a 2020
8:36 Andre was headed west on Dinah Shore Drive. Rancho 16 theaters to his left. Nice to know they come out to the valley for reviews.
I took a new 2022 1500 LT with options for a test drive. I have to say I really was not impressed with the truck. The interior just feels like it’s cheep flexible plastic. The test drive really wasn’t what I was expecting, the truck drove smoothly for the most part but gives way to a lot of body role left and right that reminds me of driving an old Buick or Caddy. I really like the way the truck looks with the LED day time running lights up front. Very sharp looking truck and really wish Chevy put the same effort into the fit and finish plus the handling of the truck. I’m really not a brand specific type of guy when it comes to trucks. I owned them all Ford Chevy and Ram. I currently drive a 2020 Ram 1500 with options and I can honestly say I was happy to drive away from the dealership in my truck, fit finish quality and handling hands down much better truck. Love the way the Chevy looks but that’s where the attraction ends for me.
Wow that Colorado/Canyon is gonna be a rocket with the HO version of this motor.
Normally GM vehicles do very poorly when power braked off the line but this turbo engine looks like it liked it. You didn’t mention if you were manually shifting but I assume you weren’t but that was impressive
My perfect truck for daily living
That's the same 0-60 I got from my 2002 F250 4x4 off-road package extended cab 7.3 powerstroke, with 250k miles that I picked up for $5400
It's hard to get excited about new trucks anymore. Costing as much as a down payment on a house is absolutely unbelievable.
I priced a nicely equipped RWD work truck version of this truck for $33,800. That's hard to beat. A similarly equipped F-150 is past 40k all day.
man. got mine for 28k 2 years ago. LT texas edition double cab. I should probably just sell it at this point, but I love it.
The WT headlights are the best-looking ones in the entire Silverado line.
Why is this shockingly quick? You forgot how quick is the 2.7 v6 ford f-150 is
did you forget ford's a v6 with twin turbos,my my u ford guys are dense..
@@camclarke9952 sorry to hurt ur feelings bruh.
Lmao. You're comparing a 2.7L TwinTurbo V6 to a 2.7L Single Turbo i4... There's no surprise to the EcoBoost being the quicker one. GMs 2.7L is the impressive one here, considering what it is.
7 plus seconds to 60 is not quick from any angle in today's standards. It's respectable? Yeah! Quick? No!!!
Instead of bashing Ford for their small turbo engines, now GM fanboys are claiming "their" smaller turbo engine is superior because it's smaller. Wait, what??
Nice Truck WOW...
I really like this engine. Great mix of speed and fuel economy. Wish it was available to spec with adaptive cruise control. If you build and price one, GM requires the 5.3/6.2/3.0 in order to get that feature. Kind of a shame IMO… the 2.7 is plenty capable for my needs
Agreed, no adaptive cruise is a deal breaker
@@czrmtz2431 honestly i dont even use it that much, but Ive grown used to having the option for it. Really nice on long freeway road trips, takes the stress out of a 4-5 hour drive. I agree, I wouldnt want to purchase another vehicle without it.
I wish we could get this engine with leather bucket seats - currently the 2.7 is only offered with the bench seat.
That's my biggest beef with GM. They don't offer all of their engine options in all trims. It is very limiting.
@@czrmtz2431 Oh yea because regular cruise control is SO VERY HARD TO USE! I mean you actually have to push the cancel button or hit the brake pedal and then have to hit resume when traffic clears. Oh what a deal breaker right??? Good grief
I will take manual windows a manual 4x4 engagement a 6 speed manual. it has a radio AC heat it’s a truck what else do you need. Less junk to brake and fix later. But prices are getting out of hand.
Go buy a base tacoma then
Manual windows really? You can have them.....and manual 4x4?
@@jasonbrushett3 lol yes manual 4x4 it’s a good old fashioned lever on the floor that you pull. I have manual windows on my 07 Colorado. I don’t mind them. No power buttons BS to go bad .
I got 6.87 at sea level with a 4x4 double cab. Quick for a 4cyl.
You run regular or premium? Is there a difference in stock form using one or the other? I’ll be interested to see what tuners are able to do with this as well.
@@ALMX5DP it was regular 87. I'm sure with premium the truck would adjust fuel and timing.
@@truckguyjoe nice, would be interested to see how times or seat of the pants feel improves running premium.
Hows the NVH vs the V6 and V8 models? My experience with four cylinders is that they tend to have an obnoxious exhaust note that tends to be felt and heard in the cab no matter how hard the manufacturer tries to deaden it. Also would love to see a direct comparison to a similarly equipped F150 with the 2.7 Ecoboost just for the sake of conversation.
I agree, pit them against each other. I have the F150, and I know my 0 to 60 is better than that. But yes, a head to head TFL tow, drag, test them all. Realistically both would be closer to what the average buyer is going to opt for.
@@glengardner5477 I can tell you from experience that the twin turbo 2.7L V6 is going to be faster than the Silverado with the inline 4. It wasn’t enough for me to pay more for the Ford (XL w/ 4WD is definitely more expensive than the Custom 4WD) but it’s noticeable.
@@gopnick I wonder if some of that is from the weight difference of the trucks too?
Even in this real world test, this Silverado with that little 2.7 I4 beats my '03 Silverado 5.3v8 in a little more than a second in 0-60 (and it's more so in the HP/TQ department). Woah. Very Interesting🤔
This is absolutely ridiculous…. A 4 banger in a full size pickup just doesn’t sound appealing at, the prices are outrageous.
Got one of these at shop and after driving I was really i.pressed with motor response but on same not transmission was beiing replaced and rear end at 116k miles. Would like to get one of these motors and trans to seap into old c10
The numbers on this engine are impressive. I am curious about longevity
It's got GMs infamous 8 speed, so you'll loose the trans long before you have to worry about the motor.
@@dcl97 Already have one. 80k with no issues. Flushed it 3 times now and tuned the truck when new. Shows no signs of giving up any time soon.
@@shiftmotorsports9803 that’s great to hear, do a video I’ll watch
People have argued the same about the 2.7 Eco booost
@@BIGJBIGEBIGC That's an extra 2 cylinders though. They did have issues with their 4 cylinder ecoboost
Downhill 2 degrees is invalid but awesome you finally got a real 10hz GPS performance meter, saw an average fuel economy of 13mpg 😆. Nice little putzer sedan with a bed if it gets 25+ on highway
I wish they got rid of those headlights and just went with LED all across the line just like the 16-19's
They need to dump that design period. Still the ugliest Silverado ever made. That cheap ass 2014 interior sucks too.
GMC has the full LED headlights throughout the entire lineup I believe.
@@dallasfrost1996 Yes the GMC is by far the better looking truck and more upscale than the Silverado.........
My 22 has the new interior and big screen I didn’t know they made some without
my 1999 s-10 zr2 4x4 4.3 v6 will haul a half cubic yard of top soil with no hardly noticeable bed sag and that is supposedly 1000 lbs when its wet/moist...so 1794 lbs for a fullsize silverado really isnt that much by comparison...and i have also hauled a half cubic yard of 3/4 gravel which according to the net weighs 1400 lbs... seems like they would have beefed this truck up to haul at least one ton=2000 lbs by 2020 just my opinion...
TFL, would you pick this motor over the Ram 3.6?
I hope this motor sets below the 5.3 but if you have to pay more for it then it's a waste of money
It used to sit between the 4.3 and the 5.3 in the lineup. But the 4.3 has been discontinued, I believe, so this becomes the new base engine.
@@damilolaakanni correct.
I rented one of these 4 cyl silverados for a week. Its a great engine, but the truck is just way too big. I didn’t think it was particularly fast, but it did deliver great fuel mileage.
I’d still have the F150 over this for all around use.
Or the Colorado is a better choice.
My 2021 2.7L 4x4 is rated at 9,100 pounds lol
It seems the Ford 2.7 Ecoboost is still quicker and more capable
Well it has 2 more cylinders and 1 more turbo, plus more power…
@@sleeper.simulant7327 And it's priced about the same
Ford's the better truck, as always
I have a 2.7 Ecoboost and love it, I’m hoping this lil 2.7 is also a great engine, as much as all these trucks cost don’t wanna see anybody get a bad one no matter the brand!
@@wyo1446 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other, as always…
