- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- I review the Chevy/GMC 1500 2.7L Inline 4 cylinder TURBO L3B engine as a Heavy Duty Mechanic. This 4 cylinder turbo charged engine produced 310 hp and 430lb-ft of torque. I take this truck out on real roads and show you Real World fuel economy (mpg), how fast this engine is and whether or not this 4 cylinder engine is underpowered.

I hope everyone had a good week! Today I am taking this beautiful GMC Sierra/Chevy Silverado out on the road for some real world reviews. firstly we talk about the the power and speed of this 4 cylinder engine.
some people seem to think this engine is under powered so I wanted to put that to the test by doing some acceleration test on the highway. I personally thought this small 2.7L turbo charged engine had some good power and some good speed behind it for a pick up truck.
throttle response and drivability of this small engine is actually top notch for being a turbo charged engine. this is most likely because of Gm's special turbo set up almost completely eliminating any turbo lag.
but the big question was the fuel economy of this engine. and to be honest I have to say I am disappointed with the lack of fuel economy. I think I had a good amount of testing and driving to show a good real world fuel economy test and getting only around 15-16mpg is just not that great for such a small engine.
I would have expected closer to 18 mpg but that just didn't happen.
I hope you guys enjoyed the video!
Watch me put this little Monster of an engine to work towing 8,000lbs through the Appalachian mountains - ua-cam.com/video/xbcvOhSSGmk/v-deo.html
I purchased a 2023 Silverado Custom with the 4 cylinder a couple or so months ago. To step back, when GM first announced they were going to put a 4 cylinder in a Silverado, I thought that choice would destroy the brand. About a year ago, I started researching getting a new vehicle, and I was leaning to a truck - originally either a Taco or a Colorado. That sent me down the path of understanding the four cylinder that GM was using in both the Colorado and the Silverado. Impressed after seeing the research and development, and finding out that Silverado's are cheaper than Colorado's (per bang for the buck), i did a test drive and was sold on the 4 banger. I'm averaging about 19.5 MPG and most of my driving is city. I notice a slight turbo lag, but I think the dual volute design really is what minimizes that effect. It pulls hard when I need to merge or get around an idiot. I'm not at all upset I didn't go for the V-8. Heck, the 5.3L offered is actually considerably weaker than the 2.7L if you check the numbers. No regrets.
I own a 2023 GMC Sierra with the engine and I like it. GM need tbese to sell because the engine emissions are SULEV-30 and the 5.3 is ULEV-50. The 2.7 is helping GM still be able to make and sell V8 even if the fuel mileage isnt there.
Let me be clear, I had an f150 with a 2.7 and was this engine's biggest skeptic, then I drove one. My '22 Sierra has the 2.7, so far (30,000kms) it really has impressed. I tow a boat and camper in the summer and haul drums for work. The 1900lb payload was a big benefit. With the family, bikes, gear and 4400lb trailer loaded this truck didn't struggle at all towing through the hills through Horseshoe Valley and the Kawarthas. The torque is smooth and always there.
Appreciate the comment! always like hearing from real owners, I will say driving around the engine is very smooth and has plenty of power. I'm excited to tow with this truck in the near future!
@The Getty Adventures it won't be for everyone, but, more torque and less weight than the v8 make it worth a try at least. I know the 5.3 VERY well also, if I was buying again tomorrow I would go with the 2.7.
Let us know when you actually break it in and hit 100k miles. Even a cheap Chinese 4 wheeler will do exactly what it says for a couple months and then it craps out. All people care about is initial quality now. So dumb
There are plenty that have crossed to 100k mark w/o incident
I was the same way, thought there was no way that a 2.7 ecoboost was going to feel powerful! I was so wrong.
Fantastic review Alex. It is refreshing to see someone review a new truck without bias that doesn't pander to the mfg looking for video sponsorship. Simplicity definitely equals reliability hence why so many commercial drivers covet older pre emissions motors for their trucks. You make a great point too, why on earth would you sacrifice beefier motors with more displacement than a miniturized overworked runt if you don't gain any benifits such as fuel mileage and reliability. I wouldn't hesitate to bring my truck in to you for repairs you are obviously a straight shooter no BS mechanoc. Again well done. I wish more people would speak truth to power and start boycotting these efeminate trucks with no cajones and make the mfgs realize they are better off giving the conumer what they ask for rather than what Uncle Scam tells them to offer, just sayin, not a great business model if you piss on your customer base.
I have the 2.7 turbo in my silverado I get 13 to 14 l/100 in town all depends on driving style.
wow. I get same in city with 6.6 duramax.
Towing will be the test. As a owner of a 2012 Terrain with a 2.4 and a 8 speed this would not be my first choice. My 78 ElCamino gets 24mpg at 50K OR 4 mpg from stop light to stop light with a carb.
towing will be the ultimate test I think!
get the 3.0 for fuel mileage... I love my duramax... Great video my friend.
Doesn’t make sense financially in heavily salted road areas. At least not to me. They’re cool though. Edited for spelling.
@@dutch4117 why would that make a difference?
@@otherthrakker The cost is a lot greater and the frame and body panels will be rusted out before the engine is even close to living it’s life. Where I am, it’s rare to see a truck older than 12 years still on the road. Not many diesels for that reason.
@@dutch4117 I'm in Canada and well aware of the salt issue, guess I'm just used to everything rusting. Religious undercoating, bed lining, and splash guards help a lot. Tons of people running 12+ year old diesels where I'm at. I can see your point but I don't very many people here consider road salt decay as critical factor when buying diesel versus gas for trucks. Most people trade them in anyway before that point and diesels consistently remain in higher demand for higher resale than gassers here.. so I just don't see that being a good argurment from a financial perspective.
@@otherthrakker Good points. I keep mine for awhile and seeing that they rust out the same, to me it just makes more sense to spend less because they aren’t worth a bucket when I finally get rid of them anyway. I think the salt trucks enjoy covering the roads with it, even when they know it’s going to be 40 degrees the next day and melt it all away.
As for recommendations, I'd love to hear your opinion on Ford F150 Powerboost or Toyota Tundra IForce Max (both hybrids). Not sure if hybrids your thing (full electric I know really isn't & I concur), but alot of people love them!
As for the gas mileage, it's a truck I get it. But the Ford F150 ecoboost has been beating that 2.7 since like, before it existed!
I can't wait to get my hands on the Eco boost next week! I'd love to get my hands on the hybrids eventually, I'm not against electric I'd love to review one but a truck to me anyways is about practicality and I just don't think electric vehicles are there just yet. but technology is improving rapidly and I believe there will come a point where electric vehicles make more sense then gas vehicles. if that makes sense.
@@TheGettyAdventures fair enough on electric vehicles!
As for the EcoBoost, I look forward to your review
Does this truck have "eco" where it shifts the gears below 2000 rev and shutdown the turbo boost, because I have had a car her in Europe with a tiny 0.899 cc turbo engine with 90 hp and that car have a eco mode where the turbo boost came late in rev band so it not use so much gas under 2000 rev
Did you find a longer splash guard like you discussed on another video? If so, what did you go with?
I did not, but I simply added some rubber on the bottom of my current ones. doesn't actually look half bad!
I was sad the minute it started.
My question is chevrolet or gmc never made before 4 cylinder reliable and now made 4 cylinder for a new big body truck 🤣🤣🤣on my personal decision I never buy a 4 cylinder how it's possible gmc or chevrolet plying this ridiculous game 🙈
You can keep it. Junk
The Getty Adventures/ should do a towing video
I'll let you in on a secret, I just bought a 21,000 GVW trailer for that exact reason 😉
@@TheGettyAdventures it will surprise you how well it will do
@@TheGettyAdventures 😳
Either way, the GM trucks have a VERY cheap made plastic interior in all models.
I liked the interior, weather it holds up over time we'll have to see
I got a 99 f350 with a 7.3 powerstroke and a big heavy steel flatbed and 35” tires and I still get 15 mpg (not towing). I just don’t trust gas turbo engines to last like diesels do.
ya I also highly question longevity of this 2.7L turbo
It’s only designed to get out of the warranty period. After that it’s a roll of the dice 🎲!!
7.3 was one of the best diesels ever made
@@gnd111 for sure, I’ve owned 5 of them now and never had a problem with the engines. Had to put injectors and glow plugs in 1 but that just happens, they don’t last forever.
It has the power and fuel economy of a v8, but without the v8 sticker price. Maybe that was GM’s goal.
I mean the 5.3 is only like 1500-2000 more lol I guess you save a little money!
@@TheGettyAdventures True, lol. And with all that tech, repair costs could exceed the v8 price upgrade.
@@TheGettyAdventures add another $1500 on top on that for GM,’s discount on the 2.7 there was 4k difference between the 2.7 and 5.3 virtually identical trucks
Fuel economy is better then EPA ratings. For me anyway. I own a 4.8, drive a 5.3 for work and commute with a 2.7. 2.7 far exceeds the V8s with fuel economy.
@@dutch4117 true for me as well for both city and hwy
All these naysayers about the 2.7L are just pissed off because they cannot afford one. Period!
I own a Chevy Silverado with this engine and I think you will impressed with how the vehicle tows. The low end torque makes the towing experience enjoyable. It doesn’t have to hunt for gears like the 5.3. The downfall to the 2.7 is the 8 speed transmission which come with the 2.7. Another benefit of the 2.7 is how light it is because it gives it a better payload.
ya I don't know why they didn't give this engine the 10 speed. interesting about the towing though. I'm excited to get out and see how it does!
You can't seriously be buying a truck like this for "payload'. Some Perrier water a case of Huggies is what it's designed for and typically not even used for that. Urban " I've got a truck " guy
@@chrisogburn6364 my truck has over 1900# of payload which is really nice for a 1/2 ton.
@gould7985 absolutely! Most are ready to dismis it because it's a 4 cylinder.Its a winner in my books
Is the 8 speed transmission on the refreshed 22-23 trucks the same as the one used in the previous years or has it been upgraded to address the issues that plagued the 8 speeds in the older trucks?
My 2.7s see 17 mpg city to 20 highway. The 2.7 was $4000 cheaper than getting the 5.3 at the time I purchased. My 2.7 does get better mileage than my 5.3 but I think most people expect more because it is a 4 cylinder.
I think if this the opposite as the comparison between a big gasser like the 7.3 ford vs. the 6.7 diesel. The mileage is a little less in the gasser, but it is $12k cheaper and that buys a lot of fuel. AND the gasser is more reliable, easier, and cheaper to maintain. In this case, you have a motor that saves you $4k up front, but you only get marginal fuel savings and you have a turbo engine that historically don't get the long term high miles of an NA motor. I will never be wooed into a turbo without night and day benefits... I keep my trucks too long.
My 2.7 EcoBoost does way better mileage than that. 24 to 26 hwy!
17-20 mpg out of a 4 cylinder is horrible. I just did a 2200 mile road trip in our 2004 Expedition with a 4.6 V8 with over 260k miles on it. We averaged 18mpg including going through the mountains at 70mph.
It's the weight of the vehicle
I recently re3placede the 22 inch Denali wheel and tire package the dealer had put on before I bought it. I switched to 18 inch wheel with Michelin tires and gained 3 mpg. My last town driving I got 21.6@@rodneygoff9553
Owned a 21 Chevy Custom 2WD Crew Cab with this setup, actually it was the 348ftlb variant.
Loved how it drove, hated that even babying it got the same MPG as my 5.0 F150 with the 6spd.
The other terrible thing was the 8speed, terrible shifting when cold (it would slam gears every morning 1st to 2nd).
Now I have a 2022 BigHorn with the V6. Love it to death, plenty of pep and when I baby it easily see over 23+ MPG.
its funny, i have a 5.0 f150 an i was just thinking the same thing, no better mpg
ya the mpg was just not impressive.
I'm sorry,but listening to you it seems like you've already got your mind made up on this engine,you keep comparing it to the 5.3 v8.Give this engine a chance! It's been proven time and time again in many comparisons to the 5.3 that this engine is as good if not better in many scenarios.
your right I probably did but I was hoping the 2.7L would prove me wrong. in terms of power yes this little engine is fast. but in terms of fuel economy it disappointed me.
@@TheGettyAdventuresTo have the power it needs the fuel.
I have a 22 Sierra elevation with this motor I have 11k on it and I'm averaging 20.3 mpg so far it's been great
see that's what I was expecting to get, idk maybe the colder weather didn't help.
@@TheGettyAdventures there is a difference between summer and winter blend fuels. Maybe a June test is in order.
@@TheGettyAdventures I have found turbo engines to feature pronounced thermal management design for all parameters for use around 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything hotter or colder in weather cause worse performance and economy but it will run. A turbo motor with higher compression adjusts to altitude changes well.
WHY did GM not give this engine the transmission it deserves? The 10 speed would have been perfect
cheaper to manufacture too ! win win really lol
I have a Ford fiesta st with a 1.6 turbo direct injection. I have 170k miles on it so far. It's been very reliable. Great power and if you are disciplined enough excellent economy
I don't know what to say ram 1500 hemi V8 gets better gas mileage in town and on the highway then the GMC four cylinder turbo for some reason that doesn't sound right-and I own the Ram 1500
I was disappointed on the fuel mileage of this 2.7L
Wow, my 2010 crew chevy 2500hd with the 6.0 vortec 4.10 gears gets 19 l/100 km (12.5 mpg) in the city. I can't see how beating a 4 cylinder with a turbo to death is a good idea which such dismal gas consumption.
That's kind of what I was trying to say. like this engine should be getting 20mpg all day long.
Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 2022 3.5 v6 I'm getting 30 mph No turbo..Towing weight 4500 pound at 650 pound tongue weight.. I live in WV lots of mountains.
Wanted to purchase a new short bed reg cab chevy. Didn't do so cause the 2.7 was the only engine offered. Im never going to buy a full size pick up w only a 170 cubic engine. Dont think it will be worth a damn when it gets 100 to 150 k on it. I don't agree with trying all the electronic bs chevy is doing to get a small engine to have the hp of an engine twice its size has. Dont think it will perform as it should over time. Dont trust it. I purchased an older low mileage pick up w a 5.3 engine.
I get 16 mpg city in my 2013 V6 Ram 1500 crew cab with 5.6’ bed. On the highway I get 22 mpg in Alaska
I'm sorry but you'd need more than one drive to get proper fuel economy ratings
almost 100km's driven on that average.
TORQUE!!!!! I'm sorry but I'd take that engine any day over that old dog 5.3
Stop/ start doesn't work well with turbos. A few minutes of hot cooking without oil should shorten bearing / turbo life. The turbo will help maintain power at higher altitudes. The MPGs are a bit disappointing compared to the V8.
That 2.7 turbo Chevy Custom is one awesome Truck!
I mean it would not be my first choice. got some cool tech in it though!
I traded in my 2022 2.7 ho custom do to the 8 speed transmission. I loved the 2.7 but hated the 8 speed. I know drive a 2023 5.3 LT z71 with the 10 speed I haven’t towed with the 5.3 yet but my 2.7 pulled a mini excavator with no problem was pretty close to maxed out
Put you whole foot on the pedal! Not just your toes. I get 25mpg city easy. Keep the rpm's under 2000 and cruise. I have the 2023 silverado 2.7L HO....lmao😂....2.7L HO!!!!!
that's what I was expecting to get with this truck lol but I guess maybe I was too heavy into the throttle. I was just trying to drive normally.
Love the videos, haven’t missed one since I’ve subscribed. Do you plan on testing the iforce engine from Toyota and seeing how it fairs up against the big 3? I know Toyota doesn’t really care about keeping up but their numbers are pretty impressive. Also thank you for solidying my next big truck for daily driving! Can’t wait to find a powerstroke and cry about the cp4!
Thank you sir! I'm reviewing the ford 2.7L this week and next but I have a Toyota tundra available after. I think it would be a very interesting video. honestly I really liked the powerstroke, the truck is lightning fast.
How long can the average turbo last? My mechanic told me 120K-150K miles depending of maintenance. What is your opinion about it ? Have you ever seen turbo in four cylinder engine that lasted 300K miles ?
turbo's are wearable items in my books, they take a lot of heat and pressure. could a turbo last 300k miles - maybe. but realistically I'd be prepared to change the turbo at least once throughout the life of the engine.
When the turbo pukes what’s the damage?
@@ML-lg4ky About 2000 dollars parts and labor.
A co workers Ecoboost is at 284k miles. Nothing more than basic maintenance on it.
@@armyfazer1410 turbo by Honeywell?
Has anyone heard of these GM 2.7 turbo engines reaching very high mileage without any issues?
I know of 3 that are high milage. 2 have over 200k that tow 7000lbs most days. The other is like 190k that tows 5000 and under alot. Years are 2020, 2021 and the 190k is a 22 refresh ho. No issues on the 3 of them but the 21 had a brake sensor replaced at 180k or so.
@@ericj810 Thanks for the info.
I'm a GM guy through and through, but I bought a new 2020 F150 3 years ago with their 2.7L.
Put 100k on it in 1 year.
Could knock down 9.5L/100km on the highway at 110km/h
One time I did 1400km on a single tank
The surprising part was in the city. If I didnt jack rabbit and start/stop traffic wasn't heavy, it would get 11L/100km
I disliked the truck vs the GM's, but the engine and transmission were an amazing combo. Towed 11k lbs with it no sweat.
Was also $10k cheaper then a GM truck at the time in comparable spec
active fuel ,cylinder deactive is killed the sale on GM V8 trucks when they did that,people research and arent wanting to pay 60plus grand and then have to mess changing the motor settings,they just go across the street and look at another brand.
Turbo 4 cyl is a dumb idea,huh. Very complex and expensive engine to repair in the long run. A V-8 is simple compared to this turbo direct injection engine.Fuel economy vs repair cost is much more expensive with the 4 cyl. Naturally aspirated V8 engine is the way to go. You don't save anything in fuel costs and repairs are going to be much more expensive.
Tell me you've never owned or driven a GTI without telling me you've never owned or driven a GTI cuz that's the sound you're looking for a name for😂😂😂 not to mention they obviously swiped one of Audis designers on interior 😂.... First Chevy in twenty years that I'd actually have
That was the wisest thing I’ve ever heard 😢
Tow test when? Have this engine in the smaller Colorado. About 4500 miles on the clock and getting 20mpg combined. 22-23 highway, 18-19 around town at 7000 ft elevation. Great video, thank you!
Well…as always i enjoy the reviews, but a turbocharged 4 banger….maybe ok on a side by side, on a pickup, no thanks. Not to mention my v-twin mower sounds better. I guess i just don’t fall into the crowd of going for smaller displacement so i can be more economical and hope i get performance out of it. I say the smallest i will ever go is the ecoboost thats in our expedition. Been spoiled to the v8 diesels.
Holy f*ck this truck is hard on gas for being a four banger. It better pull pretty good, but even then my god, could you imagine? Do a tow test with this thing. Max it out with weight on a proper trailer, and take her for a four hour drive. Set the cruise at 110, and I would like to see the instant economy, and average.
I think this would be perfect in the Canyon...however my buddy loves his new truck. He got 7.6 hi way and 9l 50/50...this is a brand new truck last week...not sure what is going on there
my 5 lite ford v8 gets better milage.
My 2018 f150 2.7 gets 12L/100km highway at 120kph getting to destination over 200km drive with a bit of city driving. But in general I'd get 14 to 15L/100km
I just thought these smaller engines would get better mileage but maybe the trucks are just too heavy.
@@TheGettyAdventures same, i had a 4.0 2006 nissan frontier before and on highway miles id get 11L/100km and 15-16 average.. But i have to admit, the 2.7 ecoboost is a beast in power.
@@TheGettyAdventures more like a brick trying to be arrow dynamic. I'm sure this truck has a lot of drag at higher speeds.
Makes no sense anyone buying this doesn’t care about safety this is not a tow vehicle it’s a drive around vehicle bc your to cheap to get a 250 or a 350
No 4L unless you get top of the line?
How many miles was on truck when you did video? I’ve notice any truck or vehicle noticed over time that you get better gas mileage after wengine is really broke in
I run premium in mine, I average put at 10.3L/100km. While towing my travel trailer I average about 22L/100km
Milage is not that much better than my pw. Apple vs apples. Pw is bigger heavier and with my magnaflow cat back music to my ears.
Mileage sucks, it cuts out 2 cylinders on the highway so yr running on two cylinders getting like 20-21 mpg And you can’t put nice sounding duals on it
I own a 2021 and get 21.5 mpg and its a awsome drive power to spare and pulls my duck boat everywhere.
I test drove 2 of these. they were def fast as loose bowels. I rented a uhaul with the 5.3 and i noticed it was slow, but pulled a skid steer with no issue. I wonder if this 2.7 could pull
My 5.0 Ford with 395 hp. Gets way better gas mileage.
The exhaust sounds exactly like my 1987 dodge Daytona Shelby Z.
How many liters per gallon does it get?
Great question lol
During acceleration does it sound like its making a chugging sound almost like its misfiring?
The 2.7L is good enough for a Chevy Cruze, at best! What a joke, the gas mileage is same as 5.3L V8, to get the hamsters going you need to step on it and get it up to 4000rpms to get anything going! Cant wait for the turbo to puke its guts out at 100k miles.
I mean it's not a bad driving engine but I would worry about longevity
that's a full size ram fuel economy what octane fuel is recommended
I have a 2023 L3B Silverado and it only has about 3,000 miles on and i can average 19 mpg around town. On the Highway ive got 22 mpg but haven't been on a long trip yet.
that's what I was hoping to get but just didn't happen.
The WEIGHT savings alone, makes this a clear winner
I have 22 elevation and it’s terrible on gas. I have 4K miles and my average is 16. The ford 2.7 is better on gas, I’ve owned both.
Probably going to be reviewing the ford 2.7 this week!
Went across Canada with 5.3 got 9.3 litres per 100 klms all highway driving
That's pretty dynamite fuel economy. makes you wonder why anyone would want a 4 cylinder
The 10 speed transmission you would get better gas mileage. The 8 speed transmission is garbage.
I don't know why gm wouldn't of just put the 10 speed in this truck.
Start and stop traffic is not good for fuel economy.
Stop talking so much and go my Brotha!!
Yes my Brotha throttle back on the talking, we are unable to hear that 1 barrel open up and moan 😂
lmaoo
For your best HWY mileage results you should clear it when you reach highway speeds.
100% but I wanted to see the average for my full time with the truck.
Gmc towing weight is 4400 Pounds
I really like the look of the front-end.
8 L torqe at 3000 rpm from a 2.7 L
Please do a Tundra 3.5 v6 twin turbo. Thank you
doing the 2.7L ford next week then the Toyota is next!
I have a 20’ Sierra 1500 dc 2wd. 5.3 with the 8 speed. I regularly get 24+mpg hwy and around 22 over a full tank not towing. I’m blown away by the consistently good mileage. I previously had a standard cab stick shift 2.7l Tacoma. Poor truck was gutless, didn’t get the best mileage and had a awful gear box ratio. I had the option of getting the 4 banger when I purchased but didn’t see the advantage. I’ve towed up to the max 9600lbs and the truck still had plenty of power. No shift hunting and hearing that usually quite v8 come to life is something special.
158km = 98.798 mph.
158km
Max speed?
98 mph
Good wind pusher lol
Wow 150 mph
if i was reading the gauge right it looks like on the hwy you were averaging in the 12s with the green reading ?
i know the ram hemmies i could get better milage then the 5.3 l back in 2012. the ram had more torque and would drop its cinlybers more then the 5.3
yes when on the highway the lowest I got was 12.5 or roughly 20mpg
@The Getty Adventures so why complain about the mileage?
@@jasonbrushett2005 i drive a f150 for work and easly get in the 12 with the bigger ecoboost and that engine has alot more power then this inline 4.
Ill keep my 17 pw. Thanks.
haha ya I'll keep my power wagon also!
Would this gmc beat the 5.7 hemi?
In Torque rating yes very handily. The Hemi has to rev to the stratosphere and still can't come close to 430 ft/lbs of torque
From driving the 5.7 hemi for years and towing over 10,000kms with my Hemi, no it would not. the 5.7 hemi has some pretty awesome top end power. once you get over 3,000rpm the 5.7 hemi would wipe the floor with the 2.7L.
@@thewireman134 use my Ram 1500 Hemi to pull a 7,000 trailer and it doesn’t have to rev out. It’s a smooth power band. Do a few mods and the Hemi easily crosses the 430 ft lb mark.
Yeah after getting rid of the Ford of the Sierra is a much better quality truck rides better and performs better and has better fuel mileage
The bad thing about this engine is the afm system on a 4 cylinder why it has it is a mystery. My v8 hemi gets better mpgs.
exactly my point! that being said the ram 1500's with the 5.7 hemi get incredible mileage for being a big v8. something very underrated about the 5.7's
doing 100 mph is not gonna get you 20 mpg
Its running in kilometer no mph
100 KPH= 60 mph
yes up here in Canada we run the metric system for better or worse. 100km = 60 mph
Need to know how reliable and eased of maintenance 🤔
with the amount of new tech in this engine I'd be concerned about reliability personally.
can you please make a review on the powerboost f150. all your videos are amazing. very informative. thank you
I got 15.8 on my 2007 Tundra with 200k+ last week on a short trip to the Peoples Republic of NY.
Exactly, like on the highway the 4 cylinder engine is not bad but I expected much better in the city.
@@TheGettyAdventures at a curb weight, wet, with one person inside it, every vehicle stands to get identical fuel economy because its the same number of oxygen molecules and fuel molecules needed to move that weight. If you divide the weight in half you can expect to see double the mileage. Simple physics. Gearing, tire drag, aerodynamics, also factor in but less-so in town driving. The rate of acceleration is 2nd most important factor after weight.
Chevy needs to have an option to get rid of the speed sign on the dash.
Direct injection sucks!! The intake valves carbon So around every 3k miles you hv to clean them More crap u hv to do. Still with FAM, DI, AUTO START STOP the mileage still sucks 😅😊
My turbo DI engine has over 80k miles (2015 model) and we havent cleaned anything. Still runs great as well.
please make a review with the Ford Powerboost
I knew he was in canada😂
Truck reviews should be about real trucks and not grocery getters. Truck in name only
😂
Haha well apparently it can tow almost 10,000lbs. and I will be putting that to the test soon enough!
If you’re towing 9,000#s daily, get a 2500. Why even watch the video?
