Which engine would you choose and why? GM is offering a great range of powertrain options on the Silverado 1500.
*Edit...the 5.3l got 18.3MPG not 21.5MPG
I want to Thank Feldman Chevrolet for allowing the reviews on these trucks.

I was in the market for a new 2024 LT with a 5.3L. When at the dealership I found a new 23 LT Silverado 4X4 with the 3L Duramax this truck had a sticker of 58k but it had 11k In rebates since it was a new 23 model. Got this for 47k and so far it’s been a great engine and purchase.

Im getting around 34 to 36 mpg's on the highway with my 2024 3.0 Duramax. Mind you I have the RST trim with the 3.23 axel ratio and 20 inch tires. Mine also has the column shifter (mechanical shifter) which I prefer. I use it as my daily driver and drive almost 20 miles one way to work along with sporadic around town driving. I fill it up once every two weeks. My previous truck was a 2019 RAM with the 5.7 Hemi and I was filling that thing up at least once a week. I cannot speak for the 5.3 liter engine but despite Diesel being almost a $1 more a gallon in my area (NE Ohio) I am spending overall less in fuel. So far no issues and I could not be happier.

i just got 31.3 mpgs highway on my 2023 LT Trailboss Duramax. So far I've had it for a year now and I am quite happy with it. I came from a 2020 6.2L Trailboss but was surprised to see the LZ0 engine provides great power still. Obviously not the same as the 6.2L but that said, I actually really love the 3.0L Duramax. For a little diesel it even has some great sounds to it.

One thing that I didnt see mentioned is that the diesel is getting the worst mileage its going to get brand new. As it breaks in the mileage increases dramatically. For example, and this is anecdotal but still representative, my fathers 2021 1500 AT4 with the 3.0 L duramax now with 30k miles is averaging over 30mgp and up to 35 freeway.

@redcapote4760 6 месяцев назад

While that is awesome, if the price difference is going to be $8-10k for the diesel engine over the gas engine, plus tax on that engine price difference, plus DEF costs... I wouldn't break even in cost until I drove at least 700,000 miles or so, assuming the majority of that was highway mileage. By that point, I'd more than likely need a new engine. While all of us like seeing 30+ mpg on our road trips instead of 21 or 22 mpg, the math just doesn't math for diesel. The only real reason to get the diesel is if you truly need a 2500 or 3500 HD truck because you are actually doing some heavy hauling of a very heavy trailer, camper, boat, or otherwise, because you need the towing power of the diesel that a gasser would struggle with. If you aren't towing very heavy, diesel just doesn't math out versus gas. Furthermore, I think diesel's future is waning over the next 20 years in the US, and the supply will lessen, which means prices will increase for it, creating an even smaller diminishing return on this debate for diesel.

@danquenell 6 месяцев назад

@@redcapote4760 The diesel is a $2,500 premium over the 5.3, 6.2 is also a $2,500 premium over the 5.3. In the higher trims such as my Denali Ultimate the diesel was $995 cheaper than the 6.2. The premium for the diesel in the 1/2 ton isn’t like HD trucks.

@nick4030 6 месяцев назад

There is still more to the story though. Diesel was gaining in popularity in the 2000's and into the 20-teens, until diesel gate. For some reason the EPA has decided to take aim at diesel. But theres a lot to unpack there. First, diesel is FAR more energy dense than gasoline. It also requires less refining. Less refining= less energy in production. All of this is important. Gas engines are similarly getting hit with combustion emission restrictions that are requiring filters and all of that as well, it is coming. Diesels do emit more NOX, but less CO2, which seems to be what the environment alarmists are worried about. Diesels do have a higher up front cost, but they also hold that value, generally, far better than gas equivalents do. To your point, the diesel will likely hit that 700k mileage, most gas engines will not.@@redcapote4760

I’ve owned a 2023 and a 2024 3.0L trailboss LT and a 2024 trailboss custom with the 5.3L. I like the 3.0L much more for a few reasons. I would get the 18’ rims (they come with much better tires) and if you get an LT I would spend the extra cash for the leather package, it’s a significant upgrade for the money.

Not flaming or trolling here as I'm considering going with this engine in a ZR2, but just wait until that little duramax breaks in a little, the torque converter wears some and loosens up. YMMV but that mileage performance will drop. I haven't seen a video yet with mileage numbers for one of these trucks with over 100k miles... fwiw. My 6.2 L86 (2016 LTZ) had much better mileage new than now @ 163k. Good video and thanks for making!

@CTECH-REVIEW 4 месяца назад

There are a few guys on YT that have posted some 100-150k mile reviews on the LM2 3.0l duramax, but I completely agree with you...when you get some miles on a little duramax you are more likely of having more expensive repairs than a tried and true V8! Thank you for watching, and I am glad you enjoyed! I have a lot of towing comparison videos also you can check out!

@karlschauff7989 Месяц назад

There are several trucks with over 100k miles on them featured in videos on youtube. Some components wear and decrease efficiency. Other components break in and increase efficiency. It's also up to the owner. Changing diff fluid, having the transmission fluid and filter changed from time to time, servicing the transfer case, etc can maintain fuel economy. Diesel engines also have better cylinder liners and rings than gas engines.

Agreed. 2.7 turbo I4 makes 47 more ft lbs of torque than 5.3 V8 and at 3,000 rpm, vs 4100 rpm. Dyno tested wide open throttle 'for weeks" straight. Aluminum alloy pistons w/ machined heads and cast iron ring carriers. Diesel grade rings w/ tri-metal rod bearings w/ layer of copper over aluminum w/ steel backing. 10:1 compression w/ boost pressures up to 27 p.s.i. w/ intercooled twin volute turbo. Ford has done a small displacement turbo for nearly a decade (2.7 twin turbo V6). Makes 25 more horse, but 30 ft lbs less than GM turbomax. GM OHV V8 been around since 1949. Time for new blood.

It's silly comparing cost per mile of the diesel vs the 5.3. The Duramax makes 5.9 Cummins level torque. More torque than any other engine you can get in a Silverado 1500. 495 lbft vs the 5.3's 383 lbft. And it isn't shutting off cylinders to get more than 20 mpg.
