Im on my 2nd F150 with 2.7 EB 2019 and now a 2024 both have been bulletproof. I can’t recommend the 2.7 enough the 24 is much more refined, it shifts much better, the tuning and drive modes are vastly improved, and they improved the exhaust note a bit on the new model. I always tell people that if you drive one without knowing what engine it is you would never guess the displacement because it’s so quick and pulls like a freight train.
I've never seen someone shift putting their hand in front of the shifter not behind the shift of what the Palm facing the person. That would wear out the shifting gear more quicker because you're not pulling a lever back before you go up and down
She's a beauty ! I love the Carbonized grey and the pro power onboard is incredible. Love my Ecoboost engines,I'm in Middle Sackville, keep the Ford truck videos coming!!
I owned a f150 and got Into a car accident back in January and in my opinion and experience it didn't hold up well at all The cab and frame buckled into my leg and foot causing major damage
I've had 3 different f150s with the 2.7 ecoboost. Probably my favorite engine in any current truck after having one for some time. Great fuel economy and great pull for such a small engine. The 4 cylinder in the Chevy just does not pull as well
The data I intially found was incorrect. This info was found on the Ford 2024 F-150 webpage states: 2.7 ecoboost = 2015-2016 375 ft-lb @ 3,000 rpm. 2018-2020 400 ft-lb @ 2,750 rpm. 2021+ 400 lb-ft @ 3,000 rpm. So, both GM & Ford make their max torque @ same 3,000 rpm. GM makes 30 ft-lb more torque than Ford. Torque, not horse is needed in towing. So, why does the Chevy (or GMC) "just does not pull as well" w/ 30 more ft-lb of torque? That does not compute.
2.7 Ford all the way. Built like a tank (so is the Chevy tbh) but no weird cylinder deactivation tech. It's been an extremely reliable engine since its introduction.
@@joshuaatkinson5810 tell me you know little without telling me you know little. It changed in 2018. Ford started using subpar oil pump drive tensioner. Recall. Faulty intake valves. Redesigned. Where have you been? Ford is the warranty repair and recall leader for 4 consecutive years.
Ford ruined that by adding an oil pump belt that they routed behind the timing chains, and that EGR cooler. It's bad enough having EGR coolers on diesel engines. Now Ford decided to put that engine destroyer on a gas engine.

I've spent a lot of time on non towing, rural highway road trips with both trucks. Chevy MPG 18 on regular 19 on 93. Ford MPG 21 on regular or premium. Most of the time the Chevy's 4 cylinder noise does not intrude as it is quiet, smooth and unnoticed. But there are times when I wished for some other engine as it would vibrate in 2 cylinder mode at exactly 55mph, and sound like the 4 cylinder it is when pushed hard. The Ford feels and sounds refined in normal mode and like a well tuned sports car in 'sport' mode, very pleasant 100% of the time. Despite the very similar specs, the Ford is significantly faster and more powerful.
Faster yes but more powerful? That’s somewhat debatable with the Chevy having more torque. 430 vs 400. I’d say that makes power kind of a wash in my opinion. I’ve driven neither truck though.
I have a 2.7 Silverado. 2023. At 10 miles, motor blew up!!! Truck has been a total lemon. At 14k miles now, battery has died twice in the last 2 weeks. Been towed to dealer twice. Radio lost all audio. Now tailgate latch doesn't work. I paid 50k for this POS.
Why get a 2.7l V6 coBoost when you can get a 3.5L EcoBoost for a little more that weighs just 8 pounds more (because the block of 2.7L is made of cast iron, while the block of the 3.5L is made of aluminum)?
I got a 2016 Silverado z71 off road, 5.3 v8 brand new in Oct 2016, 65 grand, had transmission issues with it practically from day 1, had it serviced several times, rebuilt twice under warranty, just after the warranty expired it started shaking so bad that I almost lost control, I traded it in June 2022 for a 2wd colorado, v6, tow package. No cylinder deactivation bullshit, no start stop,almost 2 years later, not 1 single issue

To get the same level of performance in the Chevy that you get with the Ford 2.7 EB, you’d have to step up to the 6.2 V8 and get 16mpg if you’re lucky. The Chevys are good looking trucks but they just don’t compete with the Ford.
What’s the point of even comparing fuel economy on a trip around the block …??? Needs to be at least a 30+ mile drive in each to get a somewhat accurate idea of fuel economy.

The noise is "normal". The chevy turbomax 2.7 has a oil pump/balance shaft assembly that makes gear mesh noise. That noise is the annoying a.m. radio whine you are hearing.

Considering both Trucks when my son turns 16 and hand him down my Toyota Camry. Chevy has Auto 4wd but no 4wd Lo (except in LT Trim and above). Ford has no Auto 4wd (except in Lariat Trim & above) but 4wd Lo. Chevy seats 6, Ford only 5. Will have to Test Drive both to decide but appreciate Video and Real Owners Feedback...unless they get abusive, no need for that!
I've owned an F150 lariat, Dodge SLT Hemi, and currently I own two Chevy's . The Chevy's are 1988 k1500 Silverado Regular cab and a 2014 Ltz crew cab 4*4. Ive always been partial to how Chevy's look on the outside and they are a much easier vehicle to fix yourself than a Ford. I liked the Dodge's driving characteristics the best. The throttle response was great but the interior and exterior fit and finish wasn't great. I will surprise a lot of whoever reads this by saying the F150 I drove had the 3v Triton motor that I was able to squeeze 368,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. I wanted to drive it until it blew up but I couldn't bring myself to drive it everyday as at the time I had just bought the 2014 Silverado so, 6 months of it being parked sitting idle did the trick for me. I am now looking to ditch the Chevy and go back to the Ford just because Chevy has lost a step with the engine performance, reliability, customer service, and build quality over Ford. My wife drives a 2023 Xt4 Cadillac and after about a year owning that car I can say it feels like a glorified Nissan Versa which we owned ten years ago. I had to do a lot of "adjustments" to the Chevy just to get it to feel like I'm driving a truck with a V8 and not some four cylinder out of a PT cruiser. I'll leave on that note.
3.5 TT Ecoboost has been a reliable engine for me. However i think Ram finally figured it out and got rid of the outdated and underpowered 5.7L hemi. The Hurricane may be smoother with the inline 6.
I don't like the look of the Silverado or the F-150. I bought a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation 2.7 Turbo. So the exterior of the Sierra blows the Chevy and the Ford out of the water. I got a loaner vehicle with about 3,000 miles on in for 18,000 off sticker so basically a 60k truck for 42k. Has the 22+ GM Premium interior so makes the comparison to the Ford a little closer. Still think the Ford a hair nicer but the GMC also nice. The 2.7 Ecoboost must be hella nice because driving a 2.7 and a 5.3 GMC back to back I preferred the 4 cylinder 2.7. If your going V8 you have to get the 6.2, which I didn't want to pay for nor is it even offered on the Elevation trim anyways. In conclusion, Ford IMO makes a better base level truck and a better King of the Road Truck (Raptor R) but in between I prefer the Chevy/GMC even though on a luxury level the Platinum is beating a High Country. The GM's just look better at the end of the day.
No question, the Ford is much better. The 2.7 ecoboost is the most reliable one in the ecoboost line up, and the 10 speed is much more reliable and more efficient than the 8 speed in the chevy. These Chevy 2.7 fours also burn oil and sounds like a hummingbird fart ,and the gm 8 speed has had a LOT of issues. The only people who are buying these Chevys' are ones looking for the cheapest truck or blind brand loyalists who would buy a chevy even if it is a proven dumpster fire. Chevy COULD have had a much better option in a smaller displacement turbo 3.6 variant and the 10 speed but they chose what they did.
@@bradboyd883 The manufacturers certainly play a part. Don't you dare try to bs me though. Dealers have been scumming their way through the industry for years. And in particular the last few years they were adding insane DEALER markups to vehicles. What about all the times the dealer adds in that charge for various crap you don't want, don't need, and they refuse to remove. What about that precious nitrogen in your tires. How about how these scummy bastards won't just price a product at a set rate for a new item. That item has a cost associated with it. That price should reflect that cost with a small margin for profit and nothing more. There should be no negotiation required to buy a brand new product. Used, sure. New, no. Dealers are scum and how dare you have the balls to come in here and try to claim these price tags are just the fault of the manufacturer.
@@ram89572 since you want to be an ass hat and say “Don’t you dare try to bs me…” Show me where the dealer sets the MSRP that you complained about… Not any of the worthless extras the dealers try to sucker you into paying for… I’ll wait.
Don't care how many cylinders there are, I do not trust that 8 speed GM transmission. At least Ford will admit their 10 speed had problems and are willing to recall them all. GM slaps those 8 speeds in knowing they're junk and claims they're rock solid...
@@karlschauff7989GM 2.7 turbomax (w/ 5 yr 100,000 mile warranty) makes 310 horse / 430 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 rpm. Ford 2.7 ecoboost 325 horse / 410 ft-lb torque @ 4250 rpm. The Ford 3.3 produced 290 horse / w/ a measly non tow rated 265 ft-lb torque. Gotta use data to back the b.s.
GM's 2.7 is really meant to compete against Ford's 3.3 V6. That's why it replaced the 4.3 V6 that was previous the base engine in fleet trims. The 2.7 EB is a more powerful engine and will normally be cross-shopped with the 5.3. Even with the downsides of the oil pump belt behind the timing chains, plastic oil pan, and the EGR cooler, I would pick the 2.7 EB over the lower output GM 2.7T.
@@redd7188 But it was when the 2.7T became the base engine. The 3.3 was the base engine until 2024. GM doesn't change engines every single year the way Ford does.
@@thejmcGarage I don't see any reference to an EGR or EGR cooler in any documentation on the engine. I also don't see any parts, OEM or aftermarket, for an EGR valve or EGR cooler for the GM 2.7.
correction - both make peak torque @ 3,000 rpm. GM 430 ft-lb. Ford - 400 ft-lb. That's the difference. Pay no attention number of cylinders or turbos. Dual volute turbomax makes the most torque numbers.
The Ford 2.7 has a cross😂-plane crank. Chevy? Yawn. The Ford 2.7 actually puts out as much torque as the Ford 5 L coyote, V8 engine but 2000 RPM lower!
The 2.7 chevy engine is not supposed to compete with 2.7 ecoboost as the chevy engine was a replacement for the base 4.3 v6. 2.7 ecoboost is comparable to the chevy 5.3.

The throttle response was great but the interior and exterior fit and finish wasn't great. I will surprise a lot of whoever reads this by saying the F150 I drove had the 3v Triton motor that I was able to squeeze 368,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. I wanted to drive it until it blew up but I couldn't bring myself to drive it everyday as at the time I had just bought the 2014 Silverado so, 6 months of it being parked sitting idle did the trick for me. I am now looking to ditch the Chevy and go back to the Ford just because Chevy has lost a step with the engine performance, reliability, customer service, and build quality over Ford. My wife drives a 2023 Xt4 Cadillac and after about a year owning that car I can say it feels like a glorified Nissan Versa which we owned ten years ago. I had to do a lot of "adjustments" to the Chevy just to get it to feel like I'm driving a truck with a V8 and not some four cylinder out of a PT cruiser. I'll leave on that note.
Would like to see comparisons of the two 2.7 with there v8 options fuel economy and power comparisons
3.5 TT Ecoboost has been a reliable engine for me. However i think Ram finally figured it out and got rid of the outdated and underpowered 5.7L hemi. The Hurricane may be smoother with the inline 6.
They are selling those STX f150's for $36,000 in Texas now.
If you qualify for their rebates if not it’s over 40
I don't like the look of the Silverado or the F-150. I bought a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation 2.7 Turbo. So the exterior of the Sierra blows the Chevy and the Ford out of the water. I got a loaner vehicle with about 3,000 miles on in for 18,000 off sticker so basically a 60k truck for 42k. Has the 22+ GM Premium interior so makes the comparison to the Ford a little closer. Still think the Ford a hair nicer but the GMC also nice. The 2.7 Ecoboost must be hella nice because driving a 2.7 and a 5.3 GMC back to back I preferred the 4 cylinder 2.7. If your going V8 you have to get the 6.2, which I didn't want to pay for nor is it even offered on the Elevation trim anyways. In conclusion, Ford IMO makes a better base level truck and a better King of the Road Truck (Raptor R) but in between I prefer the Chevy/GMC even though on a luxury level the Platinum is beating a High Country. The GM's just look better at the end of the day.
Ford F150 STX all the way
Pick your poison....myself I've driven and owned a 2.7 Ecoboost, excellent all around engine.Im sure the Chevy is decent too
No question, the Ford is much better. The 2.7 ecoboost is the most reliable one in the ecoboost line up, and the 10 speed is much more reliable and more efficient than the 8 speed in the chevy. These Chevy 2.7 fours also burn oil and sounds like a hummingbird fart ,and the gm 8 speed has had a LOT of issues. The only people who are buying these Chevys' are ones looking for the cheapest truck or blind brand loyalists who would buy a chevy even if it is a proven dumpster fire.
Chevy COULD have had a much better option in a smaller displacement turbo 3.6 variant and the 10 speed but they chose what they did.
The Chevy sounds like a Honda Civic.💪🏼
😂
$52k for work truck models is ridiculous and dealers should be ashamed of themselves
I agree that the prices are obscene, but that’s the manufacturer’s fault not the dealer’s…
@@bradboyd883 The manufacturers certainly play a part. Don't you dare try to bs me though. Dealers have been scumming their way through the industry for years. And in particular the last few years they were adding insane DEALER markups to vehicles. What about all the times the dealer adds in that charge for various crap you don't want, don't need, and they refuse to remove. What about that precious nitrogen in your tires. How about how these scummy bastards won't just price a product at a set rate for a new item. That item has a cost associated with it. That price should reflect that cost with a small margin for profit and nothing more. There should be no negotiation required to buy a brand new product. Used, sure. New, no. Dealers are scum and how dare you have the balls to come in here and try to claim these price tags are just the fault of the manufacturer.
@@ram89572 since you want to be an ass hat and say “Don’t you dare try to bs me…” Show me where the dealer sets the MSRP that you complained about… Not any of the worthless extras the dealers try to sucker you into paying for… I’ll wait.
Ford interior is years ahead of Chevy. Exterior is nicer too. Overall ford is way better .
I would get the Ford 2.7L l. Much nicer engine and interior
When you can’t afford a Ford, you buy a Chevy
🤡
Don't care how many cylinders there are, I do not trust that 8 speed GM transmission. At least Ford will admit their 10 speed had problems and are willing to recall them all. GM slaps those 8 speeds in knowing they're junk and claims they're rock solid...
Chevy interior is trash but exterior is very nice
Now who buys a CHEVROLET and it a 4CYLINDER huh?
fleet maybe?
The same people that buy an F-150 with the naturally aspirated 3.3 V6. That's what the GM 2.7L is meant to compete against.
@@karlschauff7989 The 3.3 is discontinued! The 2.7 is the base engine. What are you a GM salesman or something?
@@karlschauff7989GM 2.7 turbomax (w/ 5 yr 100,000 mile warranty) makes 310 horse / 430 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 rpm. Ford 2.7 ecoboost 325 horse / 410 ft-lb torque @ 4250 rpm. The Ford 3.3 produced 290 horse / w/ a measly non tow rated 265 ft-lb torque. Gotta use data to back the b.s.
Wanted more torque than 5.3 V8 and 2.7 Ecoboost. 2.7 I-4 dual volute Turbomax (w/ 5 yr 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty) makes 310 horse / 430 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 rpm. GM 5.3 V-8 makes 355 horse / 383 ft-lb torque @ 4,100 rpm. Ford 2.7 V-6 Ecoboost makes 325 horse / 400 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 rpm. The old Ford 3.3 was truly a slug - 290 horse / with disappointing 265 ft-lb torque @ 4,000 rpm, absolutely no competition to the turbomax. Glad 3.3 discontinued. Same w/ Ram 3.6 V-6 = 305 horse / 269 ft-lb torque @ 4,800 rpm.
Only a liberal would take a 4cyl in a full size pickup truck! 🤣
A limp wristed liberal
The tale of 2.7's!
those are short boxes....standard is 6'6"
Probably worst gas mileage in the Chevy cause it’s working harder
When you can’t afford the Ford you buy the Chevy
🤡
You guys don't have a clue about f150's
They suck in a wreck
Ask me how I know
Personal experience
Keep in mind too, Chevy 2.7 will always have that crappy 8 speed trans Ford uses the 10 speed
No comparison…
Ford all day
Small motors and BIG prices. No thanks.
A moped has more rumble than the Chevy. 🤦🏻♂️
Ford 2.7 v6
The Chevy is horrible, I can't even find a reason to pick it. Are they do for an update anytime soon?
Camera angles were kind of annoying with this video.
Why are you always struggling to get the trucks out of their parking sport? Why don't ya park em different or go the other way man? LOL
GM's 2.7 is really meant to compete against Ford's 3.3 V6. That's why it replaced the 4.3 V6 that was previous the base engine in fleet trims. The 2.7 EB is a more powerful engine and will normally be cross-shopped with the 5.3. Even with the downsides of the oil pump belt behind the timing chains, plastic oil pan, and the EGR cooler, I would pick the 2.7 EB over the lower output GM 2.7T.
GMs uses an egr cooler on the 2.7 as well
Ford doesn't put the 3.3 engine in the F-150 anymore. The 2.7 is the base engine.
GM Turbomax 310 horse / 430 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 rpm. Ecoboost 325 horse / 400 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 rpm. Very comparable. GM 30 ft-lb more torque, but 15 less horse. Ford 3.3 was an absolute slug - 290 horse, but a terrible naturally aspirated 265 ft-lb torque @ 4,000 rpm. Shitty tow rating, doesn't even compete w/ turbomax.
@@redd7188 But it was when the 2.7T became the base engine. The 3.3 was the base engine until 2024. GM doesn't change engines every single year the way Ford does.
@@thejmcGarage I don't see any reference to an EGR or EGR cooler in any documentation on the engine. I also don't see any parts, OEM or aftermarket, for an EGR valve or EGR cooler for the GM 2.7.
Same displacement but only one turbocharger. THATS the difference
Ford 2.7 twin turbo V-6= 325 horse / 410 ft-lb torque @ 4,250 rpm. GM 2.7 dual volute turbo I-4= 310 horse / 430 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 rpm. Very comparable. One has 5 yr 100,000 drivetrain warranty.
correction - both make peak torque @ 3,000 rpm. GM 430 ft-lb. Ford - 400 ft-lb. That's the difference. Pay no attention number of cylinders or turbos. Dual volute turbomax makes the most torque numbers.
The Ford 2.7 has a cross😂-plane crank. Chevy? Yawn. The Ford 2.7 actually puts out as much torque as the Ford 5 L coyote, V8 engine but 2000 RPM lower!
Ford won tis one but ram is better than ford hurricane
Thar hurricane is a junk engine
The hurricane is the Ram engine. Not Ford. Ford is the Ecoboost
The 2.7 chevy engine is not supposed to compete with 2.7 ecoboost as the chevy engine was a replacement for the base 4.3 v6. 2.7 ecoboost is comparable to the chevy 5.3.
the 2.7 is Ford's base engine. What do you want Ben Hardy to do?
GM Turbomax 310 horse/430 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 rpm. Ecoboost 325 horse / 400 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 rpm. The old 4.3 GM (285 horse / 305 ft-lb torque @ 3900 rpm) & Ford 3.3 (290 horse/265 ft-lb torque @ 4,000 rpm) were competitors. While numbers prove comparison, may as well list GM 5.3 - 355 horse / 383 ft-lb torque @ 4,100 rpm. Believe want you want, but facts/data are undisputable.
Neither! Like ever. 4 cylinder? Common Chevy.
The Chevy Custom kind of looks like a 2016 Raptor, a cheap one anyway. Come on Chevy, be better.
The Chevy sounds terrible, especially at startup.
What is up with that steering wheel on the ford? Is that made out of plastic or something? It looks TERRIBLE.
Who like the ford should buy a ford pickup. Who's like the Chevrolet should buy the Chevrolet pickup
*Twin Turbo
I love Chevy they need to upgrade their interior for the Turbo Max. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a Ford!
Chevy sounds like a rice burner
Chevrolet silverado hands down
