If the BMW N63 V8 which is notorious for heat soak and cooling issues doesn't blow head gaskets I doubt these will blow anything. I still wouldn't buy one though lol. If I had to have something reliable it would be a N/A option for gas and if I wanted a diesel it would be an older 5.9 Cummins in a Dodge Ram or an old Ford 7.3 Powerstroke. Heck, I'd buy an old Ford with a blown 7.3 and rebuild it versus ever getting myself into a new one because of all of that emissions nonsense.
That would be a fun truck -- a 2.5 turbo Colorado/Canyon, being the same engine that they're putting in the Silverado as the new base (310 HP; 348 ft-ibs). Add a 3:73 or 3:91 axle ratio with the 8 spd auto and defeatable traction control.
Haha 🤣 what a bitch 7.66 come on Chevy you can do it and there’s 60 lol please how pathetic 2.7 Ford eco-boost will put an as whipping on this like you would not believe this guy may need a neck brace after that one 😂
Yes show ford some love. You guys act like you hate ford. Put this kind of effort in all your trucks your testing. Great video please do this with a Ford
At 3:30 , your information is incorrect, the increase was in 2018 on the 2.7 and it also got the 10 speed at the same time. The 3.5 got the increase in 2017.
The power bump was for the 2018 model year but we drove the truck in 2017: www.google.com/amp/s/www.tfltruck.com/2017/08/first-drive-2018-ford-f150-specs/amp/
Over boost causing head lift, which isn’t the gaskets fault. Or leaning out causing lots of other issues along with sealing failure. That’s the only two reasons
I think Chev made a huge mistake designing this engine to work in the Silverado. The 5.3L & 6.2L gives you more HP, TQ and better fuel economy. The 2.7L should do better in the Colorado & Canyon.
Not yet sure on the 2.7's MPG comparison with the 5.3. Saw one review that says it's worse, saw one that shows it's a lot better. Not a lot of info to go on yet. Agreed, however, that the 2.7 needs to be an option in the Colorado. (as long as they keep the NA V-6 option! I'd rather have the 3.6 in the Colorado and the 5.3 in the Silverado solely on reliability and longevity. )
I'm a fan of fullsize trucks from Thailand and I just saw Chevy Silverado 2.7 turbo's acceleration. I am very proud of American trucks. Small block engine but lots of power, AMAZING!
5.7 and 5.3 vortec are best Chevy motors, simple, cheap to operate, massive parts interchange, good power potential, massive aftermarket support, just works
The GM is a single turbo charged 4 cylinder, The Ford is basically two turbocharged 3 cylinders connected to one crankshaft. This gives the V6 the advantage.
G B I have a 2017 LTZ Z71 with a 6.2 and had two F150 3.5 EBs before that. I loved the eco boosts but my 6.2 gets better fuel economy in all conditions.
I have a 2018 F-150 with the 2.7 2 wheel drive and I ran it at the 1/4 mile track. It was spinning bad and still ran a 14.88 @96.90 mph it had a 2.517 60 foot time
@@andrewt9204 I actually liked the square wheel wells for doing brake pads , tires, or rotors, i can sit the front end on blocks and sit comfortably in the wheel well while changing pads or rotors on the older ones, where as the round wheel wells I have to crouch to get in there or have to reach around the rotor to get to things, plus when swapping tires it gives more space to pull the tires or when having to go through the wheel well to do electrical
Is it me or does that 2.7L Chevy growl more like a pissed off Briggs and Stratton than that of an overworked base truck motor??? The 0-60 numbers are reasonable by today's standards, but that being said, trucks are so much faster today than 30 years ago.
I don't know why people quarter mile pickups when they're not made for racing....they're made for hauling and have power to tow and that should be good enough LOL
Well, it is ONE metric for testing capability. And the easiest to perform. But you're right, I'd rather see something more akin to a tractor pull where you test the absolute limit. But really, engines have come so far now, these 0.5 - 1 ton trucks can easily pull more than they really should be. Especially compared to the same class trucks of 20+ years ago.
I have thought for some time now that Ford should build a small V8 based on their 2.7L V6. Who would like a twin turbo 3.6L V8 snarling under the hood of your Mustang or Raptor or Navigator? I'd think the Shelby guys would like to play with that engine. The other engine that would be nice to see is an 3.5L I6 EcoBoost based on the 2.3L I4. Mercedes is moving back to I6 motors with turbos due to manufacturing economies of scale due to all the I4 production in their lineup. This might be the future for Ford too.
Copying M/B in anything is a bad idea. They have the highest depreciation of just about any manufacturer and the worst reliability. The only people who like M/B are those who are on a 2 or 3 year lease program so that everything is under warranty.
@@vernonpitts6630 What does that have to do with their motors? Their motor are actually very good and reliable especially their V6s. If they make their I6s just as reliable those engines will be great.
Any V8 twin turbo would be a gas guzzler; defeats the point of downsizing and turbo charging. Yes a 3.6L V8 is downsized, but not enough to save fuel on a 5.0 or even a 6.2. Turbo actually makes for more fuel consumption, so the displacement and cylinder drop has to be significant. Turbo V8s do not fit any strategy except for racing
I'm in for I6. My 2.7L V6 has virtually no engine braking. V6s just rev too freely and smoothly. A 3.0 I6 GTDI with 400 ft- lb would fit and ideal for a half ton. FCA is rumored to be bringing that exact size and arrangement to replace Penstar. They are claiming Hemi power, which I think would be tuned too much for that size. About 320- 335 hp would be just right. Right about where Ford's 2.7L V6 is should be their target but with a slightly larger inline. Perfect!
Have the 2018 f150 with the 3.5 twin turbo and 10 speed. Traded in my 5.3 Silverado. 4 high in sport mode rips, so much faster than Chevy and Ford's 2.7.
The 2.7 hp is underrated and the 3.5 is hp is overrated. The 3.5 is a cunt hair faster if at all stock. It's just not worth the extra $2000 or is it $3000 for the 3.5 unless you plan on modding it. Even then I'd still take the 2.7 for it's iron block. The 5.0 coyote just can't hang with the tt v6 trucks.
Wow who ever thought a 4 banger truck would hit 7s!? Considering it's a 4cyl single turbo and heavier truck vs f150 twin turbo v6 and lighter!! I'd say Silverado did darn good!
You are missing mentioning the obvious in the video- in the Chevy, this motor is a base model WT engine. Whereas in the ford, you are paying about 2500 extra for the performance engine option. Big difference I think- worth mentioning
Absolutely wrong. It's the opposite. One can buy a stripped work truck F150 RCSB with no options but add only the 2.7L mated to the 10 speed (Chevy no longer even offers a RCSB). Including destination, the price is under $30K. Ford allows this option from that very lowest priced truck, all the way up through XLT for $1K extra over the base power train. Then at Lariat, it's standard. Chevy turbo is available only as a standard engine in LT and RST. Starts just under $39K. Can't even option it above or below those trims. Ford turbo can be had cheaper and in many, many more configuration and trim choices, even if Ford doesn't lie and call it a base engine. No contest.
As an owner of a 2.7 2018 f150, i must say kudos to GM for such a beefy 4 banger. My truck is a rocket but this one would be right behind me. Of course, these are trucks, not coupes. That 4 cyl must get decent mileage, yet can pull a v8s share.
This guy must not have much experience... Him: "WOAH! Almost broke my neck on that launch!" Me:Bruh its a 6000lb+ crew cab with a turbo 4 cylinder, real top fuel dragster there🤣🤣🤣 His reaction reminds me of the vtec memes...
first time he touched his hot dog must of been a classic , cant imagine a girl getting that chore.........if it ever happens.....snore ............waiting!....snore!...looks like no girls for this pillsbury dough boy!
I will never get these 10 minutes of my life back. There is no point to this video. I am a Ford guy but this is not an apples to apples comparison. Makes no sense to me at all.
Sorry to hear you're a ford guy, and you are correct, you won't get your 10mins back, then again if you took the time to watch this, its probably because you are looking to switch and be happy once and for all. Unfortunately, this is not the truck for you, and now you're upset. Keep looking, soon you will find the truck that you always dreamed of
Poppy is right 3.5L & 3.5L HO was the only 2 that got 10 speed for 17. 2018 2.7L & 5.0L got 10Speed. But yes they are quicker than the I4 Turbo silverado, but the new Dynamic engines is yet to be seen at sea level. They are at elevation in colorado so You Race a 6.2L GM in Texas with a EcoBoost you might be disappointed. Unless you have a tune & other mods like i do.
Definitely enjoyed the video, Mike! Good job! As for the truck, that engine is an epic fail for Chevy. That engine won't sell many units. The fact that this engine is weaker and less fuel efficient than the 5.3, won't sell many. Now here's an idea: Cheney should partner with VIA to put that engine into a hybrid package like they did in 2014. THAT was a nice truck!
TFL Now >>> So then when comparing a brand-new 2019 Chevy Silverado to a 2015 Ford F-150 the Chevy STILL can't keep up? Looks like you have the answer to your question. I hope you'll soon have the chance to test out a new (2019) Ford F-150 2.7L to see HOW MUCH faster it is than the current (2019) Chevy and how much more embarrassing the comparison is; I'm sure it'll be more significant. Thank you for the informative video! ;-)
The I-4 is a good motor for the masses. Walk though any parking lot of a large retail or supermarket and look at trucks. Most have never scratch the receiver hitch or the bed. Hitting the EPA target for mpg is causing the auto manufacturers to get out of the comfort zone. I've been around turbos in diesels and natural gas engines for a long time. The force induction doesn't bother me if the engine is built from the ground. My guess this little I-4 has internals more like a diesel.
I like this i4T idea. For ppl like me who nolonger tow/haul near what we used to but still prefer a full size vehicle, this option will be fantastic if it proves reliable. The power output is acceptable as most normal ppl wouldn't use 70hp on their intown 30 mph 15 min commute to work. I expect the intown milage to be better than any other truck other than a diesel. Good for GM for trying something different.
AAAAAAAAAAAAhahahahahaha. Its an epic fail in gas mileage to, quick springing sunshine and lolipops on its...its a Garbage try by GM and fools like you will buy it to put more gas in it than a V8!!!!
@@JS-nd1poI know this is an older video but we just picked up a 23 Silverado with the new 2.7 gm calls the turbo max we were able to get a 6.7 0-60 out of it but they now have 310hp so same but 430ftlbs torque not sure what ford has there’s at but very impressive engine with the update and combined we average 23 get it on the highway for trips we’ve been getting 25-26 best we’ve ever gotten is 27.7
Chevy can believe they are competing by introducing this turbo....I almost went to sleep watching this guy trying to improve his times from 0-60. Another failure to impress.
Did this guy just scream "Holy Moly" when he latched a 4 cylinder to an *8 second 0 to 60? Jeez. Smh. Down here in Texas the new F150 2.7L with 400 ft lbs and a 10 speed are running low 5 second 0 to 60's stock. Im not sure that guy could take it If he almost crapped himself over the 4 banger.
Technically the turbo 4 is a base engine, the EcoBoost 2.7 is a $995 option, almost as much as the 5.3L v8 in the Chevy($1300). A better comparison would be fords standard engine, the NA V6.
Still don't get why Chevy didn't just put this motor in the Colorado. Then you'd have a nice ranger Colorado battle. Chevy could've stuck the twin turbo v6 that's in the hipo caddy in the Silverado to compete against the ecoboost f150.
Stupid testing. 4 high so you get better take off traction🤔. The performance is so weak you couldn’t spin the tires even if the rear tires were on banana peels.
Interesting result and for sure he worked very hard to get that out of the Chevy. The ford has not only received an power update but also a much faster shifting 10 speed trans making the ford even faster.
These comments sound pretty silly since he already addressed it at the beginning of the video, yes the F150 is quicker, it has a better suited engine and transmission combo.
TFL channels have become all about quantity and making ad revenue. I have not been watching your videos because most are blabber. I will be unsubscribing. You used to have focus.
John Whitehead Images I don’t work for TFL so I couldn’t care less about ads and revenue. Just couldn’t help but notice how some certified keyboard engineers start banging away before these videos videos start playing and no I don’t drive a Focus... Neither
The 2.7t Chevy is not meant to compete with the 2.7 Ecoboost. That said, the 2018+ 2.7 Ecoboosts with the new 10 speed and extra 25 lb-ft of torque are faster than the 2015-2017 models. They compared the 2019 Silverado to a 4 year old F-150. That said it was still nearly a full second slower which is to be expected since its a 4 cylinder single turbo vs a V6 twin turbo.
Considering what Car & Driver got 0-60 in this thing at a lower elevation and what Mike is getting is impressive. This means Mike is pushing it harder and achieving better times if he were at sea level. Good job Mike!
The 2.0 turbo has also been out a while now too and has proven quite reliable whether anti-gm folks want to admit it or not. I'm sure this truck works well. Why you would buy it over a 5.3 V8 is beyond me, but the fact that they made it available will only help they're nonsense EPA Cafe standards and that's probably the only reason it really exist anyway. I'm also sure this motor will eventually replace the 4.3 V6 in use now, so even in a work truck you'll hardly see them.
I think 2WD and T/C off may produce incrementally faster times, if you can control wheelspin. 4WD adds extra driveline loss which you saw in the earlier times. A small amount of wheelspin on a 2WD launch may be optimal since it won't be dragged down by 4WD after launch. Still not breaking into the 6s. MAYBE 7.5s?
It's down 2 cylinders and a turbo. Regardless of the fact that it's barely slower. I give the thing a lot of respect. Doing all that with a 2.7 4 cylinder. That's the same size engine that I have in my Tacoma work truck lol. I have the 2.7 liter 4 cylinder (minus the turbo lol) and I have a whopping 150 hp i think. So the fact this is making double that and making V8 torque, all while pushing around a truck that's 5,000 lbs and it's not blowing itself apart. Pretty impressive for such a small engine in such a large vehicle.
Just an FYI - in the quarter mile drag, a second between two vehicles is a distance of approximately five (5!) vehicle lengths. So, if vehicle A is "only" 1 second faster in the quarter than vehicle B, it is significantly faster and the chances of making up 5 vehicle lengths are doubtful.
Just picked up an '18 Ford 4x4 with the 2.7 turbo for $31k. Turbo is a requirement for me since I live at 7,000 feet. 400 lb-ft, 10-speed Auto, 24mpg highway made the 2.7 a no-brainer
They have more problems statistically because statistically they sell more vehicles. If chevys break down 10% and sell 100k units. 10000 break down. If 9% of Ford breakdown out of 120k units that is 10,800 breakdowns. Which is why more fords breakdown which is exactly what we see in reality and statistically. Which represents why Ford is the 4th most reliable brand and Chevy os the 5th. Ram 9th. It's just reading real numbers instead of opinions..... Ford still KING :D
*EcoDiesel Diesel 3.0L V6 Turbo* charged everyone rejoice. *EcoBoost Gas 2.7L V6 Turbo* charged everyone throw a tantrum. *Duramax 2.8L I4 Diesel Turbo* charged diesel everyone excited *EcoTec Turbo 2.7L I4* Turbo charged everyone bashes it before they can even drive one or afford it. #BottomLine ya'll RACIST! Lol stop judging by the fuel type
Anthony Webber no the Duramax I6 3.0L will be, but its not out yet. And the coloado/canyons are about as big as a full size honestly. Tow ratings are right next to a base half ton. So i just threw it in.
You literally compared it to a 2015. What’s funny is y’all put so much effort trying alllll those different settings and you still can’t beat a 4 year older truck. What’s even funnier is if y’all actually used a 2019 F150 it’s got the 10spd!!! It would have made that Chevy look even worse and sorry
Different trucks, a few years apart, different day, different track, different driver... different results. Every track guy and gal knows all these things contribute to the time. Kinda disappointed in the science behind this video. O Did I mention two different timers were used, more margin of error. I still really enjoy these channels! Looking forward to a real side by side, maybe an Ike gauntlet for the two fuel sippers.
Not surprising. I would be more interested in how it feels for day to day driving and how it does with fuel economy. Even if those things are great I would steer clear for a few years to see how the durability shakes out.
Greg Rowe if the Chevrolet Silverado in this video had a 5.3 it would weigh just over 5000 lbs, so the 4 cylinder version should come in at 4800-4900 lbs
Do you guys even understand how turbos work? Having the 10 speed transmission and turbos make hauling my travel trailer a dream. Semi trucks use turbo and 10-18 speed transmissions for a reason. I also own 11 freightliner trucks and a trucking company. I suggest you guys do some research before you open your bias mouths about a turbo charged engine.Basically the common principles of their operation are the same as well as the way in which they intake air and exhaust gases, regardless if you are adding a turbo to a petrol or a diesel engine. www.apt-turbo.com/petrol-turbocharger-vs-diesel-turbocharger/
@@sydneywooton7456 I am fine with engines that have been turbocharged a small amount, but Ford turbos their engines to the max, thus causing more wear over time. Diesels however are not the same as gasoline engines so they are good with turbos. Pickup trucks are not the same as semis
I have an older car with 200,000 miles. Original engine and transmission. Never get close to redlining the thing. I take care of it and it takes care of me. Never understood beating the pulp out of a vehicle. And especially a new one that is not broken in yet.
ZEROFUX lol 😂 have you drive a Ford? I was a Chevy guy growing up and after my fords kept getting over 300000 miles with almost never having any mechanical problems I was converted. I did try other brands over the years but never could match up to my fords in longevity time after time. You might wanna try yourself!! Prove your statement to yourself
Years ago Dodge put a 225 slant 6 in base trucks, slow as molasses, but would last forever, guys said you couldn’t blow them up.I love the power and acceleration of my 2.7 ecoboost, but honestly can’t say I would have beeen unhappy with base 3.3 or back then 3.5.l I’d give this new 2.7 Turbo 4 a couple years to get the bugs worked out.
😂😂😂. I love how the 2015 f150 was still faster than the Silverado! As a ford family ( 2017 f350 platinum and a 2018 expedition max limited) this makes me laugh so hard. Put it up against a 2019 f150 and do new video. It should NEVER take 8 runs to even try and “come close” to beating a 4 YEAR old truck! In the future match the 2019’s, unless you are scared of the results.

@@1FiftyOverland more that can go wrong and likely sooner. More stress on the engine. Turbos are fun to drive and are definitely helpful when you need power but I think they're better served in weekend cars. IMO daily drivers should be simpler. Just my opinion though, not looking for internet wars.
Doubt it, with more fuel efficient regulations, comes more complex engineering. Toyota was rumored to put a turbo on thier Tacoma model years ago never did, But I think they might do it for the Tundra only because people do complain endlessly about its poor fuel economy.
Newton Washinton . Naturally aspirated engines are weak. They need to keep discontinuing naturally aspirated, & bring in more Turbo & Supercharged engines like they are doing.
I owned a chevy and the transmission died at 160,000 miles. I owned an F150 and sold it at 250,000 miles with original power train, the thing is still running around. THE KING IS STIL THE KING! F150!
2.7L 4cyl? If you're gonna buy a truck, get a damn V8. 7.3L big block V8 on a Super duty all day long with straight pipes. Now that's a real man's truck!

So we learned a 4cyl with one turbo is slower than a v6 with twin turbos....who could have guessed...everybody
Yeah, that was a real shocker.
And the new one with the 10 speed is even quicker. 🙄. Wonder how low they could have gotten the Ford with 8 runs?
Exactly no wonder how twin turbos react faster...

Multi layered steel head gaskets rarely blow. Very rarely...
David Scott yea but they warp especially at high temp
Over boost causing head lift, which isn’t the gaskets fault. Or leaning out causing lots of other issues along with sealing failure. That’s the only two reasons
I think Chev made a huge mistake designing this engine to work in the Silverado. The 5.3L & 6.2L gives you more HP, TQ and better fuel economy. The 2.7L should do better in the Colorado & Canyon.
Not yet sure on the 2.7's MPG comparison with the 5.3. Saw one review that says it's worse, saw one that shows it's a lot better. Not a lot of info to go on yet. Agreed, however, that the 2.7 needs to be an option in the Colorado. (as long as they keep the NA V-6 option!

I dont think I will ever do a 0 to 60 run in my truck, didnt buy it for that.

The GM is a single turbo charged 4 cylinder,
The Ford is basically two turbocharged 3 cylinders connected to one crankshaft.
This gives the V6 the advantage.
So basically the truck has many SLOW MODES
I’ll keep my GM 6.2 for all around MPGs and power.

Fuel power? Is this a new measurement or are you a mongoloid? Don't get me wrong, I love me some Ford, but at least know wtf you're talking about.
G B I have a 2017 LTZ Z71 with a 6.2 and had two F150 3.5 EBs before that. I loved the eco boosts but my 6.2 gets better fuel economy in all conditions.
I have a 2018 F-150 with the 2.7 2 wheel drive and I ran it at the 1/4 mile track. It was spinning bad and still ran a 14.88 @96.90 mph it had a 2.517 60 foot time
I just bought a 2.7t and it does just fine. I cant imagine needing my truck to be a performance car. I use it as a truck.

The Cruze would be amazing, if it would fit.
Chevy's disadvantage is that it is hideous looking.
I agree... They tried to stand out a bit too much
Also should add at least 1 cylinder
It is so bad. I'm a ford guy, but I liked the way chevy's looked up until this year. Except the square wheel wells, I never liked that.
@@andrewt9204 Well, Chevy is batting 1000. The new truck is ugly, and the new Camaro is ugly to go with it.

I love my 2.7L EB F150. It is crazy quick.
Is it me or does that 2.7L Chevy growl more like a pissed off Briggs and Stratton than that of an overworked base truck motor???
The 0-60 numbers are reasonable by today's standards, but that being said, trucks are so much faster today than 30 years ago.
Sounds like meh lawnmower.
Reminds me of a KA24 long stroke low revving 4 cyl just what i like
Makes my snowblower sound growly.
I keep telling people the 2.7 EcoBoost is dope. Yes the 3.5 EcoBoost is faster but that 2.7 is nice.
it's barely faster
2.7 faster to 60 actually
GM is working over time to make sure the f 150 continues to be the number 1 selling vehicle in USA.
I don't know why people quarter mile pickups when they're not made for racing....they're made for hauling and have power to tow and that should be good enough LOL
These trucks are from the 70s. Trucks aren't just for working anymore. People use them for all sorts of activities including racing.
I like the video of trucks pulling a trailer up a steep hill. Now that was a good test of ability and yes the Ford ecoboost won.
Well, it is ONE metric for testing capability. And the easiest to perform. But you're right, I'd rather see something more akin to a tractor pull where you test the absolute limit. But really, engines have come so far now, these 0.5 - 1 ton trucks can easily pull more than they really should be. Especially compared to the same class trucks of 20+ years ago.
Cause it's fun???!!!
I have thought for some time now that Ford should build a small V8 based on their 2.7L V6. Who would like a twin turbo 3.6L V8 snarling under the hood of your Mustang or Raptor or Navigator? I'd think the Shelby guys would like to play with that engine.
The other engine that would be nice to see is an 3.5L I6 EcoBoost based on the 2.3L I4. Mercedes is moving back to I6 motors with turbos due to manufacturing economies of scale due to all the I4 production in their lineup. This might be the future for Ford too.
The V Design allows for a much more efficient and harmonically balanced motor!!!! Thats why!
Copying M/B in anything is a bad idea. They have the highest depreciation of just about any manufacturer and the worst reliability. The only people who like M/B are those who are on a 2 or 3 year lease program so that everything is under warranty.
@@vernonpitts6630 What does that have to do with their motors? Their motor are actually very good and reliable especially their V6s. If they make their I6s just as reliable those engines will be great.
Any V8 twin turbo would be a gas guzzler; defeats the point of downsizing and turbo charging. Yes a 3.6L V8 is downsized, but not enough to save fuel on a 5.0 or even a 6.2. Turbo actually makes for more fuel consumption, so the displacement and cylinder drop has to be significant. Turbo V8s do not fit any strategy except for racing
I'm in for I6. My 2.7L V6 has virtually no engine braking. V6s just rev too freely and smoothly. A 3.0 I6 GTDI with 400 ft- lb would fit and ideal for a half ton. FCA is rumored to be bringing that exact size and arrangement to replace Penstar. They are claiming Hemi power, which I think would be tuned too much for that size. About 320- 335 hp would be just right. Right about where Ford's 2.7L V6 is should be their target but with a slightly larger inline. Perfect!
So after 10 minutes we learn that the truck with the higher hp and tq is faster to 60mph?
The 2.7L EcoBoost is a little monster, it can even outrun GMs 5.3L and keep up with the 6.2L lol
Ford is junk though so outrun a chevy then go to the shop and get fixed

Have the 2018 f150 with the 3.5 twin turbo and 10 speed. Traded in my 5.3 Silverado. 4 high in sport mode rips, so much faster than Chevy and Ford's 2.7.
The 2.7 hp is underrated and the 3.5 is hp is overrated. The 3.5 is a cunt hair faster if at all stock. It's just not worth the extra $2000 or is it $3000 for the 3.5 unless you plan on modding it. Even then I'd still take the 2.7 for it's iron block. The 5.0 coyote just can't hang with the tt v6 trucks.
For accuracy purposes you should test them with the same device.
Wow who ever thought a 4 banger truck would hit 7s!? Considering it's a 4cyl single turbo and heavier truck vs f150 twin turbo v6 and lighter!! I'd say Silverado did darn good!
For about 80,000 mi then it's salvage lol
You are missing mentioning the obvious in the video- in the Chevy, this motor is a base model WT engine. Whereas in the ford, you are paying about 2500 extra for the performance engine option. Big difference I think- worth mentioning
Agreed, I think Chevy's designed this for MPG, probably for fleet sales mostly.
You're so wrong the upcharge Ford does for the 2.7 is 995.00 and 2600.00 for the 3.5
Wrong! the base wt motor is a 4.3 v6. The 2.7 isn't standard until you get to the lt and higher trims.
Absolutely wrong. It's the opposite. One can buy a stripped work truck F150 RCSB with no options but add only the 2.7L mated to the 10 speed (Chevy no longer even offers a RCSB). Including destination, the price is under $30K. Ford allows this option from that very lowest priced truck, all the way up through XLT for $1K extra over the base power train. Then at Lariat, it's standard.
Chevy turbo is available only as a standard engine in LT and RST. Starts just under $39K. Can't even option it above or below those trims.
Ford turbo can be had cheaper and in many, many more configuration and trim choices, even if Ford doesn't lie and call it a base engine. No contest.
He said they were comparing the turbo engines. Did you miss that part?
As an owner of a 2.7 2018 f150, i must say kudos to GM for such a beefy 4 banger. My truck is a rocket but this one would be right behind me. Of course, these are trucks, not coupes. That 4 cyl must get decent mileage, yet can pull a v8s share.
This guy must not have much experience...
Him: "WOAH! Almost broke my neck on that launch!"
Me:Bruh its a 6000lb+ crew cab with a turbo 4 cylinder, real top fuel dragster there🤣🤣🤣
His reaction reminds me of the vtec memes...
Not even a 10 second car will break your neck. It’s like .6 of a G.
Lol i know
first time he touched his hot dog must of been a classic , cant imagine a girl getting that chore.........if it ever happens.....snore ............waiting!....snore!...looks like no girls for this pillsbury dough boy!
Your comparing a single turbo inline 4 against a twin turbo v6 what do you expect
Ford doesn't use a 4 cylinder turbo and gm doesn't use a V6 turbo. It's the closest comparison
The number of turbos is irrelevant. He break torqued the truck so the turbos were spooled up. These times had nothing to do with turbo lag.
Can't expect much from the Pillsbury doe boy...lol
0:30 I think the 2.7 EcoBoost will come out on top! Let's go FORD!
Should hope so with +2 cylinders and +1 turbskie

Sorry to hear you're a ford guy, and you are correct, you won't get your 10mins back, then again if you took the time to watch this, its probably because you are looking to switch and be happy once and for all. Unfortunately, this is not the truck for you, and now you're upset. Keep looking, soon you will find the truck that you always dreamed of
Also the 2017+ F150's have the 10 speed, not that sucky 6 speed. The F150 is many times faster than this Silverado.
Alaska Fish & Game my 2017 2.7 Ecoboost has a 6 speed, think only the 3.5 got the 10 speed that year , maybe the 5.0 got it but not sure on that.
Poppy is right 3.5L & 3.5L HO was the only 2 that got 10 speed for 17. 2018 2.7L & 5.0L got 10Speed. But yes they are quicker than the I4 Turbo silverado, but the new Dynamic engines is yet to be seen at sea level. They are at elevation in colorado so You Race a 6.2L GM in Texas with a EcoBoost you might be disappointed. Unless you have a tune & other mods like i do.
You want to know why the 10 speed is better? Cause GM helped Ford design it 😂
Alaska fish & game, everything is faster than a Chevy. As a GM employee, I am dissapointed in this new powertrain. I wish we would get with the times.
@@andybub45 >>> GM is barely able to help itself. Enough said.
Definitely enjoyed the video, Mike! Good job! As for the truck, that engine is an epic fail for Chevy. That engine won't sell many units. The fact that this engine is weaker and less fuel efficient than the 5.3, won't sell many. Now here's an idea: Cheney should partner with VIA to put that engine into a hybrid package like they did in 2014. THAT was a nice truck!
TFL Now >>> So then when comparing a brand-new 2019 Chevy Silverado to a 2015 Ford F-150 the Chevy STILL can't keep up? Looks like you have the answer to your question. I hope you'll soon have the chance to test out a new (2019) Ford F-150 2.7L to see HOW MUCH faster it is than the current (2019) Chevy and how much more embarrassing the comparison is; I'm sure it'll be more significant. Thank you for the informative video! ;-)
Completely different boost levels. Different rear end ratio as well.
Husspower enthusiast and the ford is aluminum
yip yap what the trucks are made of doesn’t matter. Chevy chooses to go half steel...remember , all bolt on panels on Chevy are aluminum now.
well where he fails in this video is he is using a phone and it takes this guy forever to stop the time
Yeah then they can do a real world mileage test and the Ford will get embarrassed. By the way I wouldn't buy either one.
The I-4 is a good motor for the masses. Walk though any parking lot of a large retail or supermarket and look at trucks. Most have never scratch the receiver hitch or the bed. Hitting the EPA target for mpg is causing the auto manufacturers to get out of the comfort zone.
I've been around turbos in diesels and natural gas engines for a long time. The force induction doesn't bother me if the engine is built from the ground. My guess this little I-4 has internals more like a diesel.
Give the truck to the Canadian fellow. He'll be running 0-60's in the 5 sec range.
Not unless you can build his beer belly out of aluminum 😋

I absolutely love this video! Once again Ford Rocks! Love my 2017 XLT 2.7 It's an amazing truck!
That shitty old Chevy transmission shift strategy.. Shifts take about 3x longer than they should.
Technically the turbo 4 is a base engine, the EcoBoost 2.7 is a $995 option, almost as much as the 5.3L v8 in the Chevy($1300). A better comparison would be fords standard engine, the NA V6.
The whole premise of this vid is about turbocharged engines, not n/a engines
And the new f150 has a 10 speed auto..not a 6
Still don't get why Chevy didn't just put this motor in the Colorado. Then you'd have a nice ranger Colorado battle. Chevy could've stuck the twin turbo v6 that's in the hipo caddy in the Silverado to compete against the ecoboost f150.
That engine is like 400 hp
Stupid testing. 4 high so you get better take off traction🤔. The performance is so weak you couldn’t spin the tires even if the rear tires were on banana peels.
Interesting result and for sure he worked very hard to get that out of the Chevy. The ford has not only received an power update but also a much faster shifting 10 speed trans making the ford even faster.
These comments sound pretty silly since he already addressed it at the beginning of the video, yes the F150 is quicker, it has a better suited engine and transmission combo.

@@sreilly >>> Great! ... because Ford is superior in those areas too ;-)
The 2.7t Chevy is not meant to compete with the 2.7 Ecoboost. That said, the 2018+ 2.7 Ecoboosts with the new 10 speed and extra 25 lb-ft of torque are faster than the 2015-2017 models. They compared the 2019 Silverado to a 4 year old F-150. That said it was still nearly a full second slower which is to be expected since its a 4 cylinder single turbo vs a V6 twin turbo.
Single turbo i4 vs twin turbo v6, Makes sense.........
Considering what Car & Driver got 0-60 in this thing at a lower elevation and what Mike is getting is impressive. This means Mike is pushing it harder and achieving better times if he were at sea level.
Good job Mike!
Do a race video with the 2019 f150 2.7 instead of old clip of the 2015. There's been some nice improvements with the 2nd gen
After watching this , I’m definitely glad I bought the 2.7 EcoBoost, the deal breaker for me is the 2.7 sounds like a struggling 4 cyl.
But it isn't struggling at all...
@@campbell0162 I think it’s the driver who is struggling
Not bad numbers either way
The 2.0 turbo has also been out a while now too and has proven quite reliable whether anti-gm folks want to admit it or not. I'm sure this truck works well. Why you would buy it over a 5.3 V8 is beyond me, but the fact that they made it available will only help they're nonsense EPA Cafe standards and that's probably the only reason it really exist anyway. I'm also sure this motor will eventually replace the 4.3 V6 in use now, so even in a work truck you'll hardly see them.
I think 2WD and T/C off may produce incrementally faster times, if you can control wheelspin. 4WD adds extra driveline loss which you saw in the earlier times. A small amount of wheelspin on a 2WD launch may be optimal since it won't be dragged down by 4WD after launch. Still not breaking into the 6s. MAYBE 7.5s?
Ha, there was no wheel spin to speak of in any of his attempts. It was like the ford 5.0, no takeoff power
8 runs and still behind the older Ford ecobeast!? Bruuuh Props to Ford ig
It's down 2 cylinders and a turbo. Regardless of the fact that it's barely slower. I give the thing a lot of respect. Doing all that with a 2.7 4 cylinder. That's the same size engine that I have in my Tacoma work truck lol. I have the 2.7 liter 4 cylinder (minus the turbo lol) and I have a whopping 150 hp i think. So the fact this is making double that and making V8 torque, all while pushing around a truck that's 5,000 lbs and it's not blowing itself apart. Pretty impressive for such a small engine in such a large vehicle.
Wait, @4:00 the fat guy put it in 2 high?
Theres a 2 low?
Wow, lmao
Just an FYI - in the quarter mile drag, a second between two vehicles is a distance of approximately five (5!) vehicle lengths. So, if vehicle A is "only" 1 second faster in the quarter than vehicle B, it is significantly faster and the chances of making up 5 vehicle lengths are doubtful.
2.7L 4 CYLINDER?
Chevy lost their minds.
Put that in the Colorado and you will sell
Just picked up an '18 Ford 4x4 with the 2.7 turbo for $31k. Turbo is a requirement for me since I live at 7,000 feet. 400 lb-ft, 10-speed Auto, 24mpg highway made the 2.7 a no-brainer
Ford king.
@I know you are right, And I just got owned but: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAhahahahahahah Clown!!!
I know you are right, And I just got owned but: Chevrolet actually has more of those problems especially in the more modern ones
They have more problems statistically because statistically they sell more vehicles.
If chevys break down 10% and sell 100k units. 10000 break down.
If 9% of Ford breakdown out of 120k units that is 10,800 breakdowns.
Which is why more fords breakdown which is exactly what we see in reality and statistically.
Which represents why Ford is the 4th most reliable brand and Chevy os the 5th. Ram 9th.

Not surprising. I would be more interested in how it feels for day to day driving and how it does with fuel economy. Even if those things are great I would steer clear for a few years to see how the durability shakes out.
Agreed. I don't think the turbo engines will ever match the durability of a NA V8.
John, it sucks. The 5.3 gets better has mileage, because of the cylinder deactivation tech. It's not worth it
I am considering the i4. Really like the mileage. Wishing GM would include it in all trim levels though.

Do you guys even understand how turbos work? Having the 10 speed transmission and turbos make hauling my travel trailer a dream. Semi trucks use turbo and 10-18 speed transmissions for a reason. I also own 11 freightliner trucks and a trucking company. I suggest you guys do some research before you open your bias mouths about a turbo charged engine.Basically the common principles of their operation are the same as well as the way in which they intake air and exhaust gases, regardless if you are adding a turbo to a petrol or a diesel engine.

@@sydneywooton7456 I am fine with engines that have been turbocharged a small amount, but Ford turbos their engines to the max, thus causing more wear over time. Diesels however are not the same as gasoline engines so they are good with turbos. Pickup trucks are not the same as semis

EGGINFOOLS you are absolutely incorrect. Rather than trying to explain it to you I will leave you this link. th-cam.com/video/lLGPHl1o0bc/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy!
Wow thats thing is a dog off the line.
Why GM never further utilized the 4.3 turbo they used in the Syclone and Thypoon is baffling.
Ford whooped it lol
Who else noticed the Seiko SRPK that the host was wearing? Nice watch.
Thanks!
I really hope the turbo thing is just a fad.
Not a fad.......the mpg wars may eventually kill 1/2 ton v8 trucks.
@@marcolcorreia 😢
Why turbo's make anything and everything better.
@@1FiftyOverland more that can go wrong and likely sooner. More stress on the engine.
Turbos are fun to drive and are definitely helpful when you need power but I think they're better served in weekend cars.
IMO daily drivers should be simpler. Just my opinion though, not looking for internet wars.
Doubt it, with more fuel efficient regulations, comes more complex engineering. Toyota was rumored to put a turbo on thier Tacoma model years ago never did, But I think they might do it for the Tundra only because people do complain endlessly about its poor fuel economy.
AND... JUST THINK, FORD HAS A BIGGER 3.5L ECOBOOST MONSTER ENGINE!! OH YEAH, ITS TWIN TURBO
A turbo gas motor has a much shorter life span. they can keep their turbo's
Newton Washinton . Naturally aspirated engines are weak. They need to keep discontinuing naturally aspirated, & bring in more Turbo & Supercharged engines like they are doing.
@@UltraSS-nj8kd I am going to be as nice as i can and just say you have a lot to learn.
Yes. It causes more wear over time.
@@UltraSS-nj8kd yeah, and have premature engine wear? No thanks.
About 20 years ago that was the case. Tech improves over time. Modern turbos are plenty reliable. This ain't the 90s anymore
I don't even watch these videos from tfl, I can't stand the hosts,but they throw out click bait titles that peak my interest. So off to the comments!
Almost broke his neck ehh... yeah ok.
Chevy junk.
I owned a chevy and the transmission died at 160,000 miles. I owned an F150 and sold it at 250,000 miles with original power train, the thing is still running around. THE KING IS STIL THE KING! F150!
Thats not fair that ecoboost was back from 15
And it still won. How about that? Lol
2.7L 4cyl? If you're gonna buy a truck, get a damn V8. 7.3L big block V8 on a Super duty all day long with straight pipes. Now that's a real man's truck!
Which one is quicker? Who cares? Really? Which one does the job is what matters. Pulling a trailer, gas mileage, etc. Who races a truck? Seriously? 0-60 mph????? Lame lame lame video.
👎🏼 here. For being an idiot.
Everybody under 60 races their trucks. Drive up town 1 day at lunchtime and see
Don't be a spoil sport
