Last weekend we went to look at some late model 2500s, but they are really spendy still, and many have 80k miles on them.....the dealer suggested the 2.7 silverado. I had a heck of time coming to terms with a 4banger in a full-sized truck...towing. I've had my 23 LT for 1 week now. I love to drive it around town and to work and back. I have a trip coming up in a few weeks that will have me towing our 5500 pound TT up Mt. Hood here in Oregon. I am a little anxious about towing. My 08 5.3L tahoe has left me scarred while towing this same TT.

I traded a ram in for one a few months ago as well, mainly for payload reasons, I wasn't sure till I test drove and it shocked me! It equaled if not out performed my ram, plus it hauls so smooth! I currently have a 14 foot enclosed work trailer and 7000 gvwr dumper, it hauls both amazing! Takes gravel loads better and much less squat than my ram was! Plus even with 2 yards of gravel in my dumper it just floats up hills and only has to go to about 2000-2500 rpm, where my ram hit 4000-5000 or more to get up some of the hills I do

Love the personal speed limit comments toward the end! Dad has been towing campers for 30+ years, and its something he always said. Enjoy the drive, watch the speed demons pass, and get to the campground safe and sound. Makes the drive WAY more enjoyable! Love the realistic review though. Looking at a viable replacement for my '09 5.3 which is pretty tired with 160k on the clock, and this seems to fit the bill for the camper and boat!

Thank you for watching! Your Dad sounds like a wise man. The 2.7l would serve you well! Mine is a Mexico build truck. I haven't had any issues with it being a Mexico build, but have heard others say that the USA built trucks seem to be put together a little better. I can't verify that myself, but it may be something to keep in mind when you are shopping. If they are USA built they will have a sticker stating so.

You nailed it! This is a big 4 "Inline"...I change the oil on it in 30 minutes. This Engine is built with with Diesel durability in mind, from the Duramax as per the Engineer of GM. Now you won't here him talk about it in this video. What I like about if some major parts simply that on the engine making easy to detach and place a new one. And the main ones are on the sides of the engine, not behind it or internally. Very close of a replica to Duramax. Over sized pistons and chain. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JLxeBzrhOHQ.html

I'm just about at the max rating that vehicle can tow and that engine is singing to get it up to speed or up a hill. I appreciate that this motor is designed to make torque down low because I really don't enjoy revving to 7000rpm just to accellerate on an incline.

My 2022 Silverado 4x4 crew cab has a 2.7 and tows better than my 2018 double cab 2 wheel drive with a 5.3. Keeps lower RPM’s towing the same travel trailer. Both have 8 speeds and both have 3.42 gears. Also the 2.7 has 400 pounds more payload and only loses 200 pounds towing because it’s 4 wheel drive. If I could fix anything about both trucks it would be a larger fuel tank

@@jeremsgarage I watched as many videos as I could find on this engine before ordering my next colorado ZR2. There's a TFL Offroad vid where the guy interviews the GM engineer that was in charge of developing it, and he had the entire engine all torn apart and cross sectioned to inspect any and all predictable wear points. That particular engine had been extreme torture tested to well beyond what any normal person could ever do within any engine's lifetime, and it was almost all immaculate still. It's all reinforced and engineered alongside the dual volute turbo like a diesel to handle these loads and far more for the very long term. I'm excited to get my new truck in July and feel the 430 lb-ft of torque this engine provides. You probably know this but if you decide to you can get your engine flash tuned by GM for 350 bucks to get the 430 torque numbers and keep your warranty, if you haven't already.

With my state police units we would run the Ford 4.6, V 8 at 3,900 RPM all day and night long. Only had one drop a valve of a fleet of 500+ over 20 years. Ford built those to run fast and forever. We auctioned them off at 120 k miles and they became taxis for many more years. So, yes, and American engine can run at high RPM's and tons of power and not fall apart with the engineering we have today. I would guess they put that same engineering into that 4 cyl.

That 2.7l turbo pulls better than my 2008 3/4 suburban 6.0l 6 speed w/3.73 that I bought new and still own today pulling that same weight. She hunt and pecks gears. Hates 6th gear unless going down hill. Most of the time it pulls in 4th or 5th. Lacks low end torque. Turbos are the only way to go, hence why diesel engines have turbos. I would buy that 2.7l engine over any of the v8s.

As with anything, there are trade-offs to consider when comparing the 2.7 turbo engine with the 5.3 on the Silverado. The standard 5.3L engine offers more horsepower, while the 2.7L offers more torque and a higher rate of 3,000 RPM. This makes it a more efficient choice than the standard engine, though not quite as powerful. Both engines have identical towing capacities, while the standard 5.3L engine can handle a bit more payload. They also have similar fuel efficiency, with the 2.7L turbo getting more mileage in the city than the 5.3L V8. An advantage of the 2.7L turbo engine is active thermal management, which keeps the motor (and by extension, the Silverado) liquid-cooled while you’re towing cargo around North Sioux City and beyond. Here are the full specs for the Chevy Silverado 2.7 Turbo vs. 5.3 engines: Chevy Silverado 3.5L V8 Engine 355 horsepower 383 lb-ft of torque 9,500 pounds of towing 2,285 pounds of payload 16 mpg city / 20 mpg highway Chevy Silverado 2.7L Turbo High-Output Engine 310 horsepower 430 lb-ft of torque 9,500 pounds of towing 2,300 pounds of payload 17 mpg city / 20 mpg highway Personally, I would still go for the V8 vs the Turbo 4 since it uses the same amount of gas. TFL did a vid with a Chevy Colorado with the Turbo 4 up the Idaho Guantlet and even though it did not struggle, it did rev at a higher RPM to keep its speed. It also burned more fuel towing a load. But whatever makes you happy convincing yourself that you got a good deal. Happy Trucking.

@jeremsgarage Год назад
Thanks for the comment. The thing to keep in mind is that this engine doesn’t need 3,000 rpm to make max torque. I’m pulling 2,000-2,200 rpm at max torque at highway speeds. Max torque is applied at 1,300 rpm. Peak power is more with the V8 but you got to spin the engine quite a bit more to get it. This engine’s power and is right down where it’s used in daily work. The 5.3 and 6.2 are awesome but I choose this engine, not based on price alone but by expected performance in the powerband. It’s proven itself time and time again. Truly a remarkable engine.

Back before the Offenhauser 4 cylinder engines were effectively rule-booked off the Indy racing circuit, the "Offy's" had a unique, very mean-sounding "growl" that spelled "defeat" to V8's, V12's, jet turbine engines etc. Offy's utterly dominated for more than 50 years, and were never actually beaten on a level playing field. Ford threatened to pull out of Indy in the 1970's after their quad-cam 32 valve Ford-Cosworth V8 in 2.65 L turbo was regularly blown completely off the track by the 2.65 L Offenhauser DOHC 16V 4 cylinder. Threatened with the loss of Ford's deep money pockets, the CART rules committee went to work on forcing the Offy down to power levels that the Ford V8 could survive at, allowing the V8 to actually complete races against the Offy 4's. The Offy's continued to kick V8 butt, until "fuel economy rules" were implemented that allowed Offy 4's only the fuel supply of the V8's. So the Offy's were forced to run behind the V8's because passing V8's meant the Offy ran out of fuel supply and could not finish a race. After the fuel supply rules kept Offy's from winning, teams were forced to run the V8 if they wanted to win, and the Offy passed into history after 1980. Interesting that European teams then started arriving on the Indy racing circuit after the Offy disappeared. Amazing that a little 4 cylinder engine first built as a boat motor by a small American racing engine shop in Los Angeles in the 1920's, so overwhelmed the racing world for the next 6 decades, that big Auto companies both American and European, threatened to leave racing circuits that the Offenhauser was racing. Being rule-booked off racing tracks was not new to the Offy, as that started in the 1930's onward, as the Offy domination in Indy and Midget racing grew. The Offy had the honor of being denied entry in dirt track racing and early NASCAR. No one wanted to face "the little 4 with the big punch" on a level playing field.

I wont claim that it will break the engine, but ill chime in on it. What you as the driver is feeling is power potential, not mechanical or thermal stress. It takes X amount of fuel to make X amount of heat (btu) to move X amount of mass over X distance within X timespan -- be it occuring in a 2.7 or 6.6. The overall difference is nearly moot. All that jargon is happening in half the area of say a 5.3, meaning 2x the heat concentration per given unit of area. Pistons, rings, valves, have to endure those heat cycles without fatigue. Also, the torque output is being imparted into the short-block via half as many main bearings, thus half the surface area to bear the pressure as a v8. With all that said, i like the 2.7 and would daily drive one with no complaints.

I currently have a 2011 Chevy 2500HD Ext cab long bed. 6.0 V8 w/3.73 gearing. It’s my daily driver as well. For starters, it handles our 33’ travel trailer well. I don’t have anything other than sway bars because it doesn’t need a WD hitch. I told the wife I wouldn’t mind trading up for a crew cab. I have been going back and forth about getting into a 1500 or another 2500/3500 truck. Today’s engined in the half tons make more power than my 6.0 Vortec but I’m more concerned about the braking and handling on the open highway. How has your truck handled the wind out on the highway? Mine feels pretty planted but can still feel it back there for sure on a windy day.

You have a nice truck! I have a weight distribution hitch, sway bars, and Sumo Springs and those took a few times to adjust properly and get them dialed in. You can still feel the trailer move some with the windy afternoons but it’s very solid. The 6.2l has a lot more power than this truck and I’m sure is fun to drive too! I choose the 4cyl since it’s torque curve is so flat. It pulls so good!

Hi Cheryl, if your truck didn’t come with a break controller from the factory, yes you will. You will need to purchase a brake controller wiring harness… here is a link to the harness for your truck. (Please make sure it fits once you click) amzn.to/42jgR3Z Then you will also need a brake controller. The one I recommend is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2. Here is a link to this one too. amzn.to/43ikf0n I installed mine on the right side of my dashboard close to my right knee. I’ll try to make a quick video of my brake controller this weekend and explain how it works. You may be tempted to buy a cheaper time based brake controller. I highly recommend this one. It is proportional and helps give excellent trailer brake performance. Thanks and I hope you have a good day!

What is the tongue weight of your trailer and the payload of that truck? That is the only thing that concerns me about a half ton pulling a trailer that big.
@jeremsgarage
@jeremsgarage Год назад
The tongue weight is 1200 lbs per my tongue scale. The payload is 1960 ish lbs for the truck. I use a 1,400 lb weight distribution hitch and air the tires up to max PSI giving the tires over 5,000 lbs of total capacity. I’ve scaled all the weights and made adjustments to the loading to ensure my weights are good with the hitch properly adjusted. The rear springs are pretty soft from Chevy so I added the blue (1,000 lb) SumoSprings to add some rear stability that was missing. (Not using them to hold up the weight like some try to do) The thing tows like it’s on rails. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Greetings! You certainly can! I have towed two travel trailers with my 2022 2.7l Custom. One of them was about 7,200 lbs and my current trailer is closer to 9,000 lbs. There are two different numbers you need from some stickers on your drivers door. Look for your tire and loading sticker and get your payload rating. It will say something like “the combined weight of passengers and cargo should never exceed Xxxxx lbs. This is the max number of lbs your truck can carry. (People weight+ trailer tongue weight + whatever is in the bed weight) The second is the conventional trailer weight. This is the maximum trailer weight your truck is rated for. These two numbers will put you in the ballpark of what you can tow. Typically a dry weight of 5,000-7,000 lbs is a good starting weight as a ballpark number.

Great test run. I am not familiar with the Monteagle mountain highway in Tennessee but Google says 2000 foot elevation gain with 6% grades over six miles which it would appear from your video you completed in approximately 6 to 7 minutes at a temperature of 72 degrees F. Our mountain passes here in the west are inclined to be higher than in the east. For example, the Coquihalla highway east bound from Hope, BC starts at 672 feet above sea level and climbs to 6,370 feet with 8% grades for a distance of 24 miles. While I have absolutely no doubt the Chevy 2.7L high output turbo engine would make the climb, I do have concerns about what transmission and engine oil temperatures would be during the summer when daytime temperatures can reach the mid to high 80’s??

The way a small boosted motor makes the torque to pull heavy loads at low rpms is by stuffing copious amounts of air and fuel into the combustion chamber. The pressures and heat generated by that are much higher than a naturally aspirated engine. Making power isn't free. Using a small motor to make big horsepower and torque numbers will stress the engine. However if the motor is truly built to handle the increased pressures you can probably get away with working it hard perioeically. I have the 3.5 ecoboost and it's very diesel like in it's torque delivery, rated to pull over 11K pounds, however I wouldn't pull that much weight on a frequent basis.....It's still only a half ton.

I will gladly explain, high cylinder pressures will catch up to you eventually when your always in boost cause your towing. The v8 may need some more rpm due to being naturally aspirated and where they make power, but with proper maintence the v8 will last longer. The 2.7 isn't a bad engine, but the way it's definitely working harder to produce the power it makes compared to the v8. Engines are air pumps, their displacement is the amount of air it can pump. More air = more power. The bigger engine will always have the ability to make more power. If a bigger engine is making the same numbers as a smaller engine, the bigger engine is not working as hard to do so. Compare the dyno graph of the v8 as opposed to the 4 cylinder shown here. The v8 makes a much nicer average power up to peak while the 4 cylinder does not and its peaky. The v8 is superior in its power producing capability, GM just has them set where they must to appease the epa/cafe. Less stress = better longevity so the v8 is the winner in which engine will last longer towing and properly maintained. Sorry 2.7 guys

As to the cylinder pressure, engine gonna blow at any moment type comment. This is the sixth model year going into the seventh. There are so many examples with 150-250k now that just prove how durable this engine is. Theory is good but put it to the test. These engines just keep working.

And the main components are on the sides of the engine, not behind it or internally. Very close to the Duramax. Over sized pistons/rod and chain. As this engineer mentions in other videos. In-fact open the hood of a 3.0 Duramax and you would think their the same engines, the Duro being just slightly longer and Turbo is for display due to it size. u-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JLxeBzrhOHQ.html

Even the 4 cylinder Ford Pinto back in the day or the Chevy Chevette would boggity boggity new off the showroom. A three cylinder Geo Metro could haul the max passengers and run the roads all peppy like with low miles. But put some normal wear and tear miles on them, and they turn to a throw away vehicle. What we want to see is these 2.7L turbo GM full size trucks that are treated like TRUCKS with 120,000 and still doing what it is at 10,000 miles without a new turbo, engine rebuild, or grenaded transmission. It is too soon to declare a win yet on this truck and engine combo. Age and mileage when we expect 150k-200k out of a drivetrain before major repairs on a truck being used like a truck. You are almost declaring a victory like these EV car owners have been doing until their batteries fail and the battery replacement cost is higher than what the car is worth if the batteries were still good. We could see full parking lots of Silverado's and Sierra's with dead 2.7 turbos waiting on turbos and new engine blocks in five to six years. Or we may see them being the new dependable workhorses making little Miz Greta the activist happy.

Agree on the EV's. Thanks for the comment. Yea, there are a LOT of these 2.7l's out there with 100k plus miles. The engine hit the public roads in 2018 as a 2019 model year. Just a quick search on Car Guru's shows several with 130-150k plus miles. I watch the forums very closely and there are Tons and Tons of these trucks out doing work. Most people who use them love them. Many are coming from V8's or the 3.0 Duramax and just want more reliability and less emissions concerns. Says something that people are coming to the 2.7l for MORE durability. Especially with the ongoing lifter debacle for the 5.3 and the 6.2l and the emissions concerns with the 3.0 Diesel. I have over 30k on my truck now. Zero plans to replace it or anything like that. Still running like a top with first class maintenance performed by your's truly. Any failures happen I will for sure let the people know.

Just drove a 2.3L Ford Ranger turbo from Knoxville, TN to Reno, NV, driving West on I-70 / I-80 and back East on US-50. Engine has 60,000 miles on it. Ran 65 to 80 MPH, engine only pulling 1600 to 2100 RPM, going up 6%+ grades in 10th gear, no gear dropping or hunting at all. Ran as high as 11,300+ ft on US-50 in CO. Never hit higher passing RPM than 3000, easily pulling away from the big V8's on the upgrades. The V8's were screaming at higher RPM trying to keep up, especially at 8000+ ft elevations. The little turbo 4's are going to easily outlast the big V8's, because the little engines are just loafing at low RPM at highway speeds, due to the incredibly high torque at low RPM. I do think Ford is going to have major problems with their turbo V6's durability because the V6 is a mechanically weaker engine design than an inline 4. Example: Chevy's 2.7 L inline 4 turbo has the same bottom end, crankshaft strength and 5 main bearings as a 5.4L V8. Ford's 2.7L V6 turbo has the bottom end, crankshaft and 4 main bearings of a 1.35L 3 cylinder. Which design will tolerate 400+ ft pounds of torque best, in your opinion?
