The newly refined 2.7L High Output Turbo engine in the refreshed 2022 Chevrolet Silverado has been bumped up to 430 foot pounds of torque!! In this video I take a quick test drive just to get my impressions of this newly updated motor. After driving it, I am impressed. It doesn't sound as cool as a V8 but it definitely performs like one.

I get to drive this truck every day and i love it more and more! i'm a contractor in the Toronto area and unless you are pulling large loads like all the time, you do not need more then this truck. still very glad i bought it
Awesome 😎
I am currently driving 2022 Sierra 1500 elevation with the 2.7 turbo Ohio put engine and I can personally tell you after having this truck for just over A month and a half and 2000 miles later this engine has been amazing. I love torque that’s available in the load of midrange and the gas mileage has consistently been between 17.5 and 19 miles per gallon. It is still rated to toe about 8800 pounds. I don’t miss my 5.3 at all after driving this new truck so far with the 2.7 Turbo high output engine.
I am looking at the GEN3 2023 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss with crewcab, shortbed and the same 2.7L Turbo 4 cylinder gas engine with the High Output 310hp and 430 foot pounds of torque. If it moves the fullsized truck it should really move the much smaller Colorado. I currently have a 21' GMC Canyon crewcab, shortbed with a naturally aspirated V6 and it has 305hp and 276 foot pounds of torque and it moves the Canyon very good and both motors are rated to tow 7000ibs
The MPG isn’t impressive to be honest. I’m looking for 22 city and at least 25-27 highway. It’s about the same as my 2021 5.3 Trailboss
Bub You will have a different opinion when You hit 100K miles and the Engine blows 1
I get 20.5 in my 5.3. If I could better than that in a 2.7 and still be able to tow, I would be on board with the 2.7. Maybe in a few years they will be able to meet my expectations and I’ll probably get one
Does your truck engine have 430lbft of torque or is it the older one? Thank you.
Just bought one as a work truck, it's amazing so far!
Awesome! Congrats!!
Leased a 2.7 Custom for my business last week. It tows better than anything I’ve towed with before, including my 99 Tahoe with the 350. Surprisingly smooth and quiet for a 4 cylinder. It’s a lease so I’m not too concerned about reliability. And I have a GX460 so if I want to drive a V8 I’ll drive that 😂
Awesome! Thanks for sharing 👍
The biggest difference you'll notice is the ride and handling. The 4 cylinder is significantly lighter and shorter.. the 2.7 sits behind the front axle line. The 2.7 takes bumps better, steering response is better and takes hard stops better.
Yes you explained perfect and it feels exactly like that it feels like driving a suv but it’s a truck
you can certainly hear that turbo whistle
I have the 2.7 liter turbo Silverado 2022
I get 15 in city and 24 highway
Probably combine 20
They are fast I had no issues with mine what so ever.
But cheaper insurance as well depending on your history of course.
The turbo sound on the Silverado sounds louder 🤷🏽♂️
Curious why GM decided to keep the 8 speed with this truck, it seems the 10 speed is superior based on everything I've seen. Seems like the 2.7L is perfectly adequate for most people... It'll just be a pride matter of "can I live without a V8".
I've owned V8 Chevys all my life (and I'm 66 now) and always said I'd never drive a 4 cylinder truck. After watching some of these videos and reading a lot of good things about the 2.7 turbo, it might just be time to reconsider.
The 8 speed is better, 10 speed had lots of problems in the past, even ford had 10 speed problems. I have not read any complaints regarding this engine by customers, only positive things. The newer GM 8 cylinder engines, well good luck because they don’t make them like they used to.
@@joeshmoe8952 I think they did iron out the 8 speed but I remember initially there being a good number of issues. I personally don't get the whole race for more gears trend... I love the older 6L80 6 speed more than both.
And yep, GM seems to screw up the small block each generation after fixing it somewhat... First AFM in the Gen IV, mostly fixed by 2013, and now more complex than ever with Dynamic fuel management. I shut it off on my 2007 and 2013. More fuel saving tech that just causes more problems.
Yeah my 2019 trailboss w a 5.3 is just perfect. If u actually use it for work… Im surprised at the very small difference in gas mileage. One of those “why Chevy” things.
It would be sweet if they made this engine a flex fuel engine, so It could run on E85
Planning on a 2025 Colorado with this engine and a 10 spd when they've bumped it to 350/475 and getting 30 mpg. A tune and down pipe and viola-425/525/35 mpg.
I haven’t heard anything bad from these engines. They’ve been out for a few years already & lots of people say they haven’t had any issues from the 4 cylinder turbo engine.
20 mpg highway according to EPA is not an issue?
@noseyneighbor It is a four cylinder not a V-8 dummy......the Ford 5.0 V-8 is more powerful and gets 15% better mileage. The GM 5.3 V-8 gets same mileage. Go do some research instead of making comments you know nothing about Goober.
Dang… I remember I bought me a 2014 high country 1500 6.2 new body style fully loaded diamond white for msrp 51000
Times have definitely changed
Dollar is loosing value as we blink
I have the 2021 model with the 2.7L, in my opinion to not get better gas mileage out of this motor is a waste. I'm averaging between 19-20 mpg. How you drive is important, but for this mileage I would just get the V8....
Is that fuel economy number correct? Can’t be. Why the heck would anyone buy the 4cyl?
Pretty dumb… less weight, less money, maybe 🤔
As per the window sticker 16/18 (4wd and Trail Boss tires) if you went 2wd LT model it is rated at 19/22
I’m getting 22-23 hwy
Less weight means more payload capacity. My payload capacity is almost 2,000 lbs. it’s a 4x4.
Less maintenance cost than an 8 cylinder.
9,000 lbs towing
And I'm getting 19/23 in an 18 6.
I have the 2024 2.7 Turbo Elevation, On two occasions from a stopped position I attempted to accelerate, The engine popped out of gear from Drive to Low. Has that happened to anyone else with this engine?
No but my 23’ 2.7 slips out of reverse into neutral every so often. Quite annoying.
quest about this truck . need to know how this truck pulls . I Owen a pumpkin carving business. I bring giant pumpkins to companies and need to know how this vehicle is well towing a trailier. I got a 2014 chevy truck that's a v6 and drops to a 4 cyclender while on highway
2.7 turbo will add so much pressure to engine that the car wont last 100 k miles without crazy problems
Keyboard engineer.
@@SkippyPB. ask scoooooty kilmer
It's tru 💘
Drivers will be forcing this thing when it's full or barely full with 6,000 RPM 7,000 RPM that will tear it apart from the inside eventually
Too bad didn't go the Toyota route put a hybrid ev motor and pair it with the 2.7 and leave the turbo out of the equation
@@ComicKish as soon as you mentioned Scotty Kilmer, your credibility is lost.
what is that high pitch whining the engine made?
Can you get heating seat in this model?
How much towing can you do with this engine 2wd version?
Believe it or not, the 2.7 2WD can tow 9k lbs.
It would be awesome if Chevy offered the 6.6 Duramax in the 1500 models ! 😎😎😎🥇🏆
No offense the chevy truck kinda look busy
10sp transmission is the answer for mpg……
It sounds like my Aunts old Chevy Cobalt. Sorry but that motor is a joke, imo.
I thought so to then I drove one then I bought one it’s actually awesome I couldn’t be more impressed with it and I’ve owned probably 20 different trucks I’m telling you it made me a fan with its power and performance and I’m a roofer and work the crap out of my trucks day one I put my ladder rack on and loaded it with tools and equipment
I have a 2019, smooth ride and quite, Iove it
Not really, overbuilt like a diesel and more torque than the 5.3.
50k for a 4 cylinder blender motor 🤣🤣🤣🤣 man Chevy they should get twin turbo on the 4.3L v6 I my trail boss Silverado 2021 for less then this blender truck v8 and no lifter issues on my 6.2 L 9k all ready I pay 46K for it decent price GM it’s dead ☠️ my next one will be a Ram for tat 50k you can get better truck with the nice V8 cool truck but very expensive for what it’s under the hood and terrible mileage
Imagine telling someone u drive a 2.7 liter 4 banger turbo full size truck. What a joke.
Why such horrible MPG
Trailboss model with mud tires. regular Silverado custom would be 19/22
Garbage four cylinder junk. Nuff said.
price of crap Chevys keep making them it's ruining the earth all gm cars and trucks
A RAM 5.7 is a real engine not this junk or a 5.3 which I’ve owned plenty of lol
I agree, Hemi is a great motor
I’ll take my Tundras Iforce 5.7 L over this
I got a 5.7 350
'98 Chevy Z71 😎
5.3 from 00-06 was extremely reliable🙏
They still use ahitty toyota transmission though...
Ill buy a honda civic if i want it to sound like that
It sounds like a VW on steroids! No replacement for displacement. This engine makes NO sense whatsoever. Its like putting a Briggs and Stratten V twin. ICK!!!!!!
Just got a 2022 2.7 Turbo Custom and absolutely love it thus far. It's only a Custom so it's nothing super fancy but amazing truck for the money. Planned on getting a Colardo Z71 and only paid $35 more per month for the Silverado. No brainer.
The true test of this engine and the lower price point is the total cost of ownership at the 100k mark. Let's see how that 2.7 Turbo holds up at 100k. I have a 2000 Silverado LT Z71 Ext. Cab 4x4 5.3 V8 .... 211k on it. Little to no major problems and I bought it with 101k used for $5200 in 2008. Pretty hard to beat that.
The 2000 ish era of LS, and for that matter, many other vehicles was imo the pinnacle of longevity. I think with strong, mindful maintenance the 2.7 will be alright, but I'm apprehensive it will be par with the older LS engines for longevity. I do think the 2.7 will live long as the new v8s.
Like the concept of the 2.7 litre engine. My only concern with these direct injection systems is carbon build up.
That means I don’t want it …
You could install a catch can. I used one before on my ford when I had it.
I’ve been using Lucas fuel injector cleaner every other tankful for the fuel injector. And putting Tectron gas additive every oil change, If that doesn’t keep your engine clean from carbon build up, I don’t know what will.
Detuned Kubota .... but i'd MUCH rather have a Kubota engine in it... it will last... that ain't going to!!
I have an Ecoboost F150 and I get 18 to 20 mpg consistently. Why would I buy a 4 cylinder?
I bet the “real world” city mileage is a lot better than the EPA city cycle. Also, good for people that sit in their trucks with the engines idling for air conditioning / heat. You are probably using almost half the gas idling ~0.125 to 0.25 gallons an hour less compared to the V8.
I just bought one a month ago. I’m averaging 22.8 mpg. I drive about 75% highway.
If you're just looking for a truck to have one you might like it. If you need to actually haul anything, including a family, you will find a V8 will get you better performance with less throttle. As far as gas mileage I would say it's negligible. It seems to waste more gas and always races the engine like you're forcing it to work. Shame they didn't go with a V6 turbo instead.
I haven't actually checked the mileage officially but the truck computer says I got 29.6 mi per gallon on the highway a couple of times.
Hi Dave,
Like your honest product reviews. I have on order a refreshed 22 Silverado LT. I first thought of the 2.7 but checked the Canadian version of EPA mileage estimates and the difference between that and the 5.3 was miniscule. As you said the cost savings will be the initial cost factor and the factory incentives to get the 2.7. I have had the 5.3 in my 14 Silverado and my current 17 Sierra. I figured I would get the 5.3 so I figured if I was paying $2000 for the 5.3 I would go for the extra and get the 3.0. I don't tow heavy weights but I think the 3.0 will give a better driving experience not to mention the better fuel economy despite the current diesel prices. I saw a UA-cam video of changing the oil on the 2 7, the plastic drain plug was a red flag for me. As you mentioned there is the turbo lag, I had a 84 Dodge Daytona with a turbo, also I think the 10 speed is a better transmission. The 2.7 might be a great engine but there will be the stigma of a 4 cyl in a full size truck. I am guessing down the road unless there is some major reliability issue with the 3.0 that a truck with either a 5.3 or 3.0 will have a higher resale than a 2.7. Great honest reviews we need more honest and knowledgeable sales professionals like you certainly in Canada.👍
That 3.0L is a great engine.. You'll pay a little more for diesel but it will make up for it on the highway.. There are people out there saying they are getting upwards of 28-30 MPG on the highway
@@DaveBsellsChevy I am thinking the same once things settle down diesel will eventually come down, where I live in Ontario it was usually an 8 cents differential so definitely a bit of gouging going on. The maintenance isn't that much more for oil and fuel filter and a litres of def. At first I was concerned about the long start issue and the belt in the rear doesn't bother me. My saleman ordered a RST 3.0. His order went in the same time as mine so we are both into week 9. Originally the plan was to build Silverados sold in Canada to be made at the Oshawa plant but from what I gather for some unknown reason they haven't built one yet. Having another plant that could crank out 1000 a day would certainly help. I am hoping to see the new truck by the beginning of June and where it's assembled will be a surprise. GM Oshawa consistently won awards for quality so in a way I was hoping to have it built there, with no offense to Fort Wayne, my Sierra was built there and it's been flawless. By the way I ordered my truck in Red Hot, like the truck in your video. My last 2 trucks were black, couldn't take another black. I liked the Glacier Blue but it's a fad colour that would wear off in time. Look forward to your videos Dave, glad I found the channel. 👍
Go with the 6.2 😎
I have a 2021 2.7 silverado, i'm at 30k miles with no issues. I love the truck, I'll definitely get it again. The sound of the motor is the only drawback but I'm not a teenager, I prefer to keep the 1500 in my pocket :D
What do you see for mpg if you don’t mind me asking?
@@thor32382 that's what I'm wondering, because what's the point of getting the 4 cyl if the v8 is just as good or close to the same mpg
One justification of the turbo 4 is higher altitude, I’m not surprised if this engine makes much more torque than the v8 at higher altitude
Beautiful truck but I noticed it needed gas when you do first time filling it up I’m guessing $98 and as always another awesome video Dave B 👍
My fathers 2018 brand new z71 was under 40 grand for the 5.3. This cost 10 grand more and is a shell of a truck. Shame shame Chevy. Even fords 2.7 gets 24 mpg… this gets 18mpg? Also even the tremors 3.5 liter gets 20 mpg and has quite a bit more power and torque… how is Chevy even selling this?
all depends on the package you buy and where you buy it our 2022 WT with the 2.7 turbo costed 42k bought it with 5 miles on the truck and I will say this engine is great
@@joshnadamproduction true. I think the 2.7 is good if you just need a family vehicle with truck capability but I’m just not a fan of smaller engines even if they are more fuel efficient at times
chevy is dying and ao is gm
with this model its a nail on the coffin democrats ruining gm
I just brought a 2022 Silverado with the refreshed front end and let me tell ya, I'm very impressed with the 2.7 liter turbo.
Thank you for the demonstration of the truck. Nice looking.
I agree I think the engine sounds like a tractor and almost reminds me of a Diesel engine too
It kinda sounds like the 3.0l diesel
Agreed
After seeing the truck with the upgraded dash and center screen, this truck looks like 2015 and I am not a fan had I not seen that red truck I would be cool with the analog gages.
I had the 2020 2.7l custom. And that clunk noise was annoying when going down a hill. I called the dealership and they said it was normal. I waited three months and traded it in for a 5.3l trail boss. The dealership was like wasn’t you just here. But besides that it’s a nice truck. That clunking definitely is coming from the transmission.
Sounds like you just wanted the 5.3 lol.
@@calebniederhofer6529 yes I kind of did I got on the highway trying to pull away from this ford truck and it felt like I was going backwards.
@@Ced1993 I am a Ford guy myself. I have a second gen 2.7, and it is a dang good motor. You should definitely test drive one.
I'm thinking that this engine in GM's 2022 refresh single cab, standard bed will be a winner.
I think the turbo engine is pretty awesome. Might be something they do on the Tahoe/Suburban as an Option-able engine, using a twin turbo like the Expedition.
i just bought a 22' LT crew 4x4 and mine gets 21mpg. Today we went around the lake and it got 23mpg driving normal not light footed. 18mpg is when one is running it hard in town. Motor gets best mpg when its completely warmed up
What rpm u running at cuz I drive I feel like normal idk and I’m getting about 15 mpg
@@bobbyo2627 deal is tires and wheels. I had stock aluminum 17 or 18 inch wheels and 4 ply tires
I doubt if this engine will hold up compared to a 8 over say 200,000 or 300,000 miles. The transmission will work harder too . Most people who buy pickups tend to keep them till they die and don't trade them every 3 years... so long term reliability is very important for truck buyers.
Time will tell.
Very true. But I'll trust this 2.7 over any of the EV pickups in -50F driving.
Gotta love the keyboard engineers predicting reliability. Lol.
@@SkippyPB. naturally aspirated V8 vs a tiny 4 cylinder turbo stuffed with massive torque. I think you can predict which one will last longer
Not really, most people change trucks like changing a phone just because the new model has more bells and whistles.
they pumped up the turbo spool noise which i think was a good call - mini diesel noise!
I would Never have a Four Banger in a Full size Truck GM You Screwed up it wont Hold Up You can Boost all you want RPM's are No substitute for V8 Torque GM is Getting Cheap Truck has to be very lite and much Cheaper made for that Tiny engine to Pull it Its a Joke while Nissa and Toyota are making Bigger engines GM and Ford are going to a Pee Pee Engine LOL U can Keep that V8 baby all the way.... It sounds Like my Club Car Haha I get 17 MPG in my 05 Avalanche so Why
perfect motor for the next gen colorado
agreed
I just gotten 2022 engine 2.7 turbo Chevy Silverado 1500 month ago let me tell u I drove Philly Dover Delaware full tank with AC on didn't put any gas ⛽ in the truck the whole time down there riding here there I'm a tell u came back Philly all I put in there fill it back up 2 the full was $35.00 and I use mid grade gas 89 in this truck
Chevy recommends 91 octane or better to get 430lb ft of torque
Put some trailer weight behind you Dave I think you will be very surprised 😉. For me, I have never owned a good 4-cyl GM vehicle. Last one was a 2010 Equinox that drank a quart of oil every 1,000 miles and GM said “that was normal.” I drove it until 80,000 miles, traded it in, next week got letter from GM saying “bad piston rings were in my vehicle and recalled it.” 😂. To bad for me. Peace
This engine is leagues different then a 4 cylinder motor on a Equinox. You can’t make that kind of comparison. That’s like comparing my Ford 2.7 to a fusion V6 lol.
I’m convinced that car manufacturers would rather build electric vehicles with less moving parts. They are making ICE that are so complicated now with more things to go wrong. A lot of tech and expense just to meet government standards and the consumer is suffering.
Liked your review. Never had a full size truck. Now that im retiring soon a simple week to week and occasional road trip full size truck like this Silverado sounds great. With 4x4 of course. Dont need to tow haul or speed for any reason. Just cruise with a pretty looking truck. Now if there is one out there not more than $50k.
Thanks Dave for NOT dogging out this brand new truck. I don’t know why other reviewers want to do this. I just want the truck to be reliable and be comparable to my old 5.3. Was looking at a 2023 Colorado (where the 2.7liter is the only option) but like the Silverado for the room and discounts.
Just bought a 23 crew cab 4x4 believe me that 2.7 is so impressive you really can’t believe it only suggestion is run 91/93 octane fuel and you’ll see the MPG and power it can produce in the Allegheny mountains of western Pennsylvania on the highway at 77/78 mph I get 28 mpg which to me is insane and it’s very torquey it feels like a diesel with gas engine pep. Couldn’t be more happier with it
@@christopherwilson7698
I’ll try the higher octane next fill up. Thanks for the suggestion. I really like my 23 sand dune metallic Silverado trail boss 2.7/8sp. Best driving truck I’ve ever owned.
Hey Dave, been following you for a minute. Do you think you could do a Short or a review on a 2022 custom trailboss in the 3.0L engine version? I put a order in for one but I won’t be home for a pretty long time and I’m nervous about it. Thanks
Hey Aaron, unfortunately I haven't had a 3.0L here for quite a while but if we get one in I would put a video together on it.
I would be towing a boat 3300lbs max, a few times a year. Is it worth buying
I would buy Fords 2.7 over this. It is well proven, and amazing motor. I own one. It was improved with the second generation.
It will tow your boat no problem.
Do you guys think I can town my 4800 lbs travel trailer ?
Very interesting test drive. Even for an old school guy like me. Buyers, take my advice, use quality synthetic oil and change it every three to five thousand miles depending on how much City / highway driving you do. Keep that engine and especially turbo lubricated with cleaner oil. Unless you lease it, then just follow the manufacturer's suggested.
I have a v6 non turbo with port fuel injection. I am still changing the oil every 6 months or 5,000 miles. Also, it is a plug in hybrid so 5,000 miles is more like 2,500 on the engine. Oil changes are cheap and nobody ever regretted getting them done too often.
I have a 2020 Trail Boss with the 6.2 and I change the oil every 6 months or when the computer shows 25-30% oil life left as well. I run Mobile 1 full synthetic. Takes me 45 minutes to change the oil. Also added a catch can and Pulsar LT so my trucks dynamic fuel management is shut off. All 8 cylinders all the time.
I went to a dealership and talked to service manager he did recommend to change the oil at least every 5000 with good quality oil.
Nice fast truck…but not good for work. I’ll just stick to my 5.3 . Same amount of gas with my 8😂
They should redesign the Colorado and canyon and make this engine with it, but keep the V6 as an option.
A 4 cylinder Truck,,,,Chevy ought to be Ashamed of Themselves.!!!!
The fact that it’s a trailboss hurts the fuel economy
Agree. The stock Silverado is very tall to begin with. Park an 90 model next to and its hilarious
I see lowriders becoming more popular.
I haven't read much bad press about the 2.7 L3B motor. I can't say the same for the 5.3 Ecotech. That's too bad, since the Vortec 5.3 was legendary.
You don’t need the h, ecotec.
@@Pabloperes675 well maybe that's the problem then.🤪
@@sharkskin3448 lol
I bought a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Custom with the 2.7 in it last year the one that has 348 lb/ft its still very impressive even with the 348 lb/ft I’ve had it for about a year now and I absolutely love it. Handled very well in thick snow and it’s pretty much did a few dump runs as well.
Thanks for your feedback!
I would buy this as my daily driver. It seems configuring this engine option, not able to get leather seats. Must be supplier issue. Oh, and order the standard truck bed option
I bought two of them for my company three weeks ago. Mpg is 20-24 on average and they have more power than the old v-8’s. This engine is awesome for your average contractor that does a lot of driving. I highly recommend it.
Thanks for the info!
Hey put a 20 foot car trailer behind it with 3200lb race car on it. And take off . Buddy tried it . Dealer traded him out of it 2 weeks after purchase.
@@backyardbuilttrucks1 I have a Cummins for towing. This truck is built to drive around with tools like your average contractor.

Longevity and reliability?? I'll go with the V8.
@@jerryjeromehawkins1712 my 2017 coyote 5.0 was a lemon that the dealer had to buy back. It would accelerate on its own. Not good for a truck with 62k miles
Boy those GM engineers really have a great idea. Wonder where they got the idea of a turbo charged 2.7 liter from. Hmmm!
I just did a 600km trip today in my 2020 6.2 10 speed and got 21 mpg (11 litres per 100km) This has to do better than 18 mpg on the highway
That's awesome mileage in the 6.2L!
@@DaveBsellsChevy I was honestly shocked myself and that was at 125kph (77mph). I also live in Saskatchewan where it’s flat as a pancake 🥞
Never buy a vehicle with a 4 or 6 cylinder engine and expect some day that you will get that good old V-8 rumble with some type of aftermarket exhaust. Just get the V-8 and be done with it. I write this as a person who installed a Borla cat-back exhaust on a Mustang V-6 and traded it in for a Mustang GT after 3 years.
agreed... stock exhaust is the way to keep it.
I get it, the 4 pot is superior to Ford's small Ecoboost v6...But $50k+ w/ oldest looking interior in segment is rough. just my .02
Superior to the 2.7EB ? What crack pile are you smoking ? Yeah this little 4 cylinder is pretty stout . But it’s still slower than Fords 2.7
Dave, I know I'm late to the video, but if you do see this comment..... you'd be a very good Car/Truck reviewer if selling vehicles for you didn't work out, (haha... I'm kidding, you've done great)! Seriously though, great video and I had no idea what one of these 2.7s was like until now!
Thanks man!
I actually like the sound. The turbo sounds good.
Seems like a pretty good option with a 4wd not towing much. My ‘17 5.3 2wd regular cab short bed averages 20-22mpg on the highway so i could see it getting close to 30 in that configuration with the 2.7
You want the 3.0 eco-diesel from dodge,that actually gets close to 30mpg on the highway
try 19-20 mpg Goober

Very Informative video. I’m about to buy a truck this month and I’m very wish washy between the 5.3 and this 2.7. You have my mind spinning. LOL.
In my opinion you really can't go wrong either way
Drive both back to back, I went with the 2.7
Ill never buy one but at least it aint a electric truck

Thanks
i had a 1983 Z28 that they labeled HO.
Not.
17/20 MPG?....my 5.7 Ram does better...lolol...
Auto stop/start I think you need to have your seatbelt on. It’s really annoying 🤣
My MDX was the same way
I'm still hoping ND praying for gm to put that motor in a colorado. I'd buy that!!!
Dealer told me they are. Can't remember if he said after 23 or 24 the Colorado won't have the 3.6 anymore
3k less on msrp and I average 20.7
I’m buying a V8 Truck now while I can. I’m an old guy and I’d rather walk than drive a 4 cylinder Truck. There’s no replacement for displacement. IMHO it sounds pathetic. I’m looking at the Ram with a 5.7 of a Ford with the bullet proof 302.
I wouldn't trust any GM 4 Cylinder engines, my son in law had a Chevy Terrain and the mechanic warned him that engine wouldn't last to 100 k. When the SUV hit 94k the motor blew. When I watch this review guy drive this he had some doubts....
Kinda makes you wonder who GM in trying to market this to? My guess would be for someone that already owns a Subaru and hugs trees and has to be a progressive.
Love most of your content Dave and your a super nice person but these trucks are a joke, 50k for a turbo 4cylinder z71?
My opinion it's just a grocery getter,,, I have a 34' camper which i pull with.my 5.3 with hardly any effort,, I wouldn't even think to pull it with that...
Side Note, when are you expecting the electric Silverados to start shipping?
I believe the first RST “First Edition”’s are supposed to start arriving fall 2023?
I like your test drives, very informative.
Hahahaha LMAO! I would definitely not buy a 4 banger motor like that for a full size truck. Yay that’s definitely a low mileage motor before it grenades. 3 to 4 years then caboom
