- In this video I conclude the video series around the 2023 Chevy Silverado LT Crew Cab with the 2.7 High Output Turbo 4 Cylinder. This engine is the standard engine in the W/T, Custom, Custom TB, LT, LT Trailboss, and RST Double Cab trims. Overall, I enjoyed my time with the Turbo Silverado and I believe it is a great engine with plenty of power. Hopefully you gained some knowledge and information throughout this video series. If you enjoyed it, let me know in the comments below! Let me know what vehicle you would like to see a short series with too.

I've driven Chevy trucks for 30 plus years. Always had the V8. This week I bought a 2022 crew cab with the 4 cylinder turbo and love it. 300 miles so far in hilly farm country and I'm getting over 20 mpg. Its more roomy than my 2014 and simply overall my favorite truck in those 30 plus years thus far. Thanks for you time making the videos...well done 👏
That's awesome! I am glad you were able to make the switch. Many people seem to still be on the fence about trying the 2.7l for various reasons. I enjoyed it even from someone who wouldn't want to drive a truck on a daily basis.
I had my candy red lt 2.7 5 Hrs. I love it too. Surprised me .sounds like a.punk but a runner traded my 2016 lt 5.3 at 98009 miles.
Buy a Toyota and it will last 30 years
Was considering the 4 cylinder so thanks for this needed to know if I’d be missing out as a new buyer
Wife got a 2023 like it and in a Toyota guy
The real world test is 5 or ten years down the road. I myself own a 2015 5.3 so far so good but as we all know that could change in an instant.
Great series. I just picked my 23 2.7 up last week. Just under 200 miles in and I'm right at 19.1 mpg so far. Mixed highway and around town. I totally agree that the 8 speed is the only let down on this truck.
Glad to hear your MPG is as advertised even under the break in process. Thanks for watching!
@@CarsMadeSimple I also do not have the AT tires on my 18's. Otherwise it's the same spec. So it really could be the difference in tires.
@@mikeye36m3 I would hope these A/T tires would not make the MPG decrease that much! I could see about a 1 MPG reduction as these are very mild A/T's in the grand scheme of them.
Where did you buy it because I know in Oklahoma the dealerships over here have free engines for life
What about the 8spd don’t you like? I know they used be real bad a few years ago but I thought they’ve since been fixed
I had a 2020 Sierra with the 5.3 and the 10 speed. Then a 2022 with the 5.3 and the 8 speed. In the real world, there is truly no noticeable difference. In a few days I'll be picking up a 2023 Silverado with the new 2.7 + 8 speed. From the test drive it was a great combo. I really don't think there is much of a gap between the 8-speed and 10-speed, much like the 5.3 vs the 2.7. if you really want to feel a noticeable difference, go try a 6.2.
I really dont understand adding AFM system on 4 cylinder engine. One of the reason why I avoided gm trucks is just because of AFM system. This has a high failure rates after 100k mileage . This is the sole reason why I hold on to my 2008 4.3 vortec . Solid , drama free truck
I’m a Honda guy, I absolutely loved my Ridgeline, had the original 3.5L vtec…sadly I had to let it go because I needed a larger vehicle with 6 seats. I was on the fence about this engine but you know what, it takes off man! Yeah it’s not a V8, but I’m not towing boats or trailers so this does great for me. Also, I think an 8 speed is decent, it makes sense for a full size truck. Also, I like that fact I only have to change 4 spark plugs vs 8…sheesh. Overall I’m pretty impressed so far with performance and it’s pretty roomy and comfortable inside as well. Also has a lot of tech and features my Honda didn’t have so I like that as well. My mpg is pretty solid as well, I get about 19 city and 23-24 highway but that’s because I put fuel injector cleaner religiously at each fill to keep injectors clean. I also switched to full synthetic oil, engine runs smoother IMO.
We have a 22 Custom Trail Boss 2.7 turbo with 5000 miles, we pull our 28’ toy hauler about 7500 lbs. we have no complaints at all, pulls no problem at all. Really nice the 2.7 starts to really hit max torque at a very low rpm compared to 5.3.
The additional torque 1,100 RPM lower than the 5.3 does make a big difference! Glad to hear it pulls your trailer well.
Great video series. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks Donald!
Would you say that truck can handle a lift kit and bigger tires like 35’s? Or would it be forcing the engine to much ?
I have a 22 Silverado 2.7 turbo. So maybe somebody can tell me what the noises in the rear when I come out of my house and open up one of the doors and almost sounds like it’s a easing air vacuum or something do you know what that is?
Fuel pump
Always lugging. Driven both 1st and 2nd gen. V8 tows better
Those things won't make it past 5yrs without a new turbo 😂😂
I do a lot of highway driving. And I love my trucks because of the overall usefulness. I really like it. I think it should help. We shall see
coming out of a 4.3 with 195hp 4 speed trans to a 300hp truck I will be like a kid in a candy store. My only fear is how long would this truck last with the turbo.
GM just increased the warranty for 2024 models!
@@CarsMadeSimple cool now im wondering if i should wait for a 2024
How good is this truck for hauling a trailer mainly weekends witha weight load of about 1000-2000 pounds?
That should be no issue for most trucks including midsize and full size.
You won’t even know it’s back there at that weight.
Do you recommend getting a 4x4?
Not necessarily. It would depend on where you live and your use case.
I just did a mileage test on my second tank of fuel. 45 to 50 mile an hour roads out of town where I live, in town 25 to 35 miles an hour. I got over 20 miles to the gallon. Took it on a short highway trip And was getting 23 1/2 miles a gallon. Kind of blew me away. This is a great light to medium duty half ton pick up truck. Most people don’t need anything heavier duty.
Im a chevy salesmen in san diego. My friend owns a 2.7 rst 2019 with 75k miles with 32 inch wheel, no issues. That 2.7 1sr generation wqs good, but i really enjoy the 2nd generqtion high output. It is.smoother and talks better to the transmision than the 1st gen. Now, we are at the 2.7 turbomax engine. With 100k powertrain warranty. Let me just tell you. For someone like me who sees this engines all the time, i can tell you this is a reliable engine. It was designed like a diesel engine to reduce wear on components. Having the 22 model i do recomend it. Best mileage i got on the highway was about 24mpg, but average like.19. For a full size truck its hard to beat if you dont want to deal with the 3.0 duramax.
doesnt mater what engine they are all around 16 mpg 6.2 5.3 .4.3. 3.6 2.7 chevy mpg is a 👎🏻
I have my 2019 Legacy with the 5.3 and the 6 speed, now she's not going to win any beauty contests. But with a few modifications (deactivate the fuel management system), i doubt I'll run into any major issues as long as i care for her correctly
I have a 2023 to .7 four-cylinder Chevy Silverado. Well I damage anything if I put a 3 1/2 rough country lift kit on it and 35 inch tires anybody let me know what you guys think about this.
The Eight Speed has been much Improved, and now has A Good Reliability Record.
Like I said, I have a 2.7 L four-cylinder Silverado 2023 if I put a rough country lift kit 3 1/2 and 35s inch tires will it damage the transmission or damage anything in the vehicle
I am waiting to see the first 100,000-mile 2.7TurboMax video.
What octane gas did you put in it?
87
Sadly my 2.7 also struggles to hit the 18mpg in the city
Every truck today is overpriced junk!
I upgraded my colorado with the refreshed '22. Silverado 2.7 LT. Never regretted! Drives great with plenty of power...LOVE the extra cab room!
Congrats! I enjoyed it but driving a truck daily is just not for me.
What gas do you use
I test drive a 2024 2.7 don't liked it i tink is the transmission i was not impres@imakebank6524
Only 6.2 L REAL ENGINE !!!
5.3 has problems with AFM, but 2.7 turbo for truck like that is 💯 % - TRASH!!!
Time will tell how long those little engines last having to work so hard all the time. This will only amplify when towing or actually using it as a truck for which it was intended for. I bet all these positive feed backs are from people just using it as a car.
You just mad
You just mad
You just mad
seems like a nice kid, great video, i'm thinking of getting one of these, thank you!
Appreciate it!
I'm not suprised you can't match the EPA test cycle for city mpg. I don't know there exact testing procedures but from my own real world testing they have to be sticking to main streets with few stops and 30-35mph speed limit for a majority of their testing. Drive actual stop and go traffic or residential streets with stop signs every block will bring down the city mpg significantly.
Yeah it was a bummer but I believe it would get somewhat better over time. I will say it's weird some vehicle meet EPA numbers with relative ease and others struggle.
I would love to see you compare the 2.7 GM turbo to the 2.7 Ford turbo truck to truck.
Thanks for the feedback. If we happen to get a comparable Ford with the 2.7 in, I will see if I can do a video on it.
Great video
Is that blue silverado with the nice wheels a 2.7L? I like it, I may consider it.
You cannot get the 2.7L in the LTZ. You can certainly get a Glacier Blue LT with a few packages and add the accessory wheels after the fact to make it similar in equipment to that LTZ.
Cheaper to buy the Turbomax in glacier blue and then just throw some rims and tires on it
OK. I’m cracking up 😂 at that zoom-in of that guy with the stuffed animal in the passenger seat.
I didn't even see it until I edited the footage! Haha
The 2.7 is the reason I will not buy a single cab short bed chevy which is the new trk i went to order. May as well buy a tacoma b4 I buy a full size pick up w half an engine w only 170ci. Dont think you will ever see a 2.7 w a quarter million miles on it like my old 5.3. Damn turbos used on an engine to replace power. Cubic inches have made horsepower ever since I bought my 1st 396 chevelle as a kid.
Ive owned either chevy or gmc trucks all my life. Im 56 now. They have all been v8s . They have also all gone well over 200000 miles. That being said can anyone honestly, let me repeat ,"honestly " say your totally confident this 2.7l 4 cylinder will last over 200000 miles without a major repair?? I have a buddy whos employer purchased 5 of these 2.7l 4 cylinder work trucks and they are allready talking about trading them in because of issues. They dont get the advertised MPG .They have struggle on hills while pulling trailers and they all have rough idle issues. Now if your the type of person who just likes trucks and only uses them to get groceries and drive around town then maybe this engine will work for you. However if 2.7l trucks are having issues with real work like trucks were designed for then i just dont think this platform will pass the test of time.
5.3s are proven, come back in 20 years and 450k miles. These will NOT last
Lol. Irrelevant opinion has entered the chat. Someone seems a tad bit triggered.
Why do you have this opinion? Is it because it's new or do you work with GM in the R&D department and know something the rest of us don't?
Cope
100 percent agree ... The 2.7L are JUNK
History repeats itself
Garbage
There is no substitute for qubic inches .
Bought the 2022 2.7L LT couple weeks ago. First truck and love it so far. Interior is very nice.
Awesome! Congrats!
Key words "SO FAR " !!!! yOU COULD HAVE HAD A v8 !
Mine has 6900 miles on it and has been on the back of a tow truck two times and roadside repaired two times.
When life gives you 🍋, make some lemonade.
What has been the issue?
User issue probably
Excellent!!
Thank you!
Wonderful coverage.
Thanks so much!
Why would you buy a 2.7 when mileage isn’t any better? Makes no sense
Please review the 2.7 trailboss
If I get the opportunity, I will definitely show that truck!
Really enjoyed this series! It would be great to see you test the 3.0L duramax.
Appreciate the support and the suggestion!
Yes, 2.7>>5.3
So many problems with the 5.3 and the 8 speed transmission. Would never but one!
A yall raving about the engine give us a shout at 75-100 k and five yrs old..All that plastic engine parts and hoses will be a disaster
Show US the window sticker !!!??
im getting 29 miles per gallon
I have a 2020 Custom with the 2.7, 21500 miles and it has averaged 20.1mpg from day 1. My next one will either be another Silverado with this engine or the new Colorado. The smaller truck is simply easier to put in the garage in our NH winters.
That is great to hear. I am very excited to see the Colorado in person and hopefully drive one soon. I believe this will be another big hit for GM.
Great videos … I’ve enjoyed all of them. I’m in my 50’s and pretty much old school when it comes to my engines. I never thought I’d appreciate a 4 cylinder so much. I have a ‘23 Sierra 1500 I ordered in June and received it about a month ago. I couldn’t believe the torque and power from such a small engine, that sounds so awesome by the way. We made a trip to Orlando Speed World with less than 200 miles on it and ran a 14.59 @ 93 mph. Very impressive in my opinion. Thx for your videos!
That’s a great time and shows its potential. Can’t wait to see this engine stuffed into some light weight drag cars from a novelty standpoint
Wow! That's faster than my Elantra GT 1.6T which does about 14.9 in the low 90's. 😂 Thanks for watching and the comment!
How has the 8 speed transmission in that truck? Any issues?
I’ve only put a little over a thousand miles on it, no towing though, but the transmission has been just as smooth and nice shifting as the 10 speed behind my Duramax. I also have an ‘18 Sierra 1500 with a 5.3 & 6 speed, it’s still like new with just over 8000 miles. The 2.7 will show it the taillights big time and then not give up an inch. Definitely looking forward to viable mods as they become available. Hope this helps.
@@fbody4me Good to hear. My dad has a 19 Silverado with the 5.3 and 8 speed. It's given him nothing but trouble since day 1. Hard shifting and delayed shifting seem to be the norm. Hopefully these issues have been straightened out. I drive a 2010 Sierra with the 5.3 and 6 speed....no issues after 100 000 miles. I really like that little Duramax in the 1500. Too bad all of these emissions restrictions and the high cost of diesel negates a lot of the advantages a diesel motor had.
Anyone know if these GM 2.7L engines have any AMF DOD issues like the other 1500 trucks?
I have not heard of any issues with the system in the HO 2.7l trucks
@@CarsMadeSimple Sounds good, thanks.
Love the 2.7 in todays world its qwik and does fine great gas mileage no waste nothing wrong with it imo i have 2021 custom i do not like the auto stop but if it saves ya lotta gas then i guess it works but i dunno how much gas it actually saves would like to see comparison on that im pretty sure it used gas thats already in chamber to restart engine so i dunno seems like it would be hard on starter it uses i dunno
Turbo tells all you need to know, the engine is not sufficient size to support the standard size truck, so they pressurize the engine with a turbo.
Nobody wants these .. why would you.
Because you don't want it
@ charles casey Actually, I know several who have the 2.7l in he Silverado. All seem very happy with them. I'll be looking at them when I look to upgrade my colorado in a year or so. Sorry you're butthurt. They make medication for your medical condition.
Because it has way more torque and better mpg than your dog 5.3
right and the 2.7 4 banger is not a dog ya right keep telling yourself that I’ll stick with the 6.2 or 5.3 v8 any day
@@Michael.j130 sounds like someone's compensating for being a below average driver.
