Is A Turbo 4-Cylinder a GOOD BUY in the 2019 chevy silverado? 2.7-liter four-cylinder 

Speaks volumes, no? www.greencarreports.com/news/1121113_chevy-silverado-mpg-turbo-4-lower-than-v-8-in-gas-mileage-test

The only reason.

I'm all actuallity this engine needs to be in the Camaro and Calorado

Turbo sounds amazing and shifts smooth and it tows more than a v6 and is faster than a v8. I bought it today

I am getting about 26 mpg on my chevy truck It's is running great Its has about 10000 miles

V-8 engines are still better for trucks.

@@SD-pi9co you wouldn't possibly need to move things or tow uphill anymore it's 2022

Where is the massive reduction in the price of the. 4 cylinder (plus the free extended warranty)

@@craigholcombe1901 I just bought a new 2022 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7 in January and I got to use the mother in-laws GM discount and paid $ 34k for it and the sticker was not quite $ 42k and it runs like a champ with plenty of power and I compare it with the 2014 F 150 I had that had the 3.5 Ecoboost 6 banger in it, even though the Ford had 50 more HP. Of course it is to early to tell how long the motors will last, but the 2.7 does not struggle at all, in fact it does not even work hard pushing the truck down the road without a load. I have had cars with undersized motors in the past, and this is not one of them and I think people automatically think more pistons means more power and that is not the case.

No kidding, factory warranty is a joke nowdays

Not a chance with a turbocharger lol

Same 30K mile warranty as everyone else... and Ford has shown that turbo/engine death is common by 20K miles with these small turbo engine platforms, and once you're past 30K miles, hahaha good luck out there. Stick with the LS v8, average lifespan for those is over 300K miles and climbing.

@@cmdr_talikarni Yep, I mean think about it, it's a small turbocharged 4 cylinder which already puts an engine under a lot more stress, then they slap it in a full size truck. This isnt gonna last.

Agreed

From what I’ve seen early on, this 4 cylinder doesn’t provide that big of a gain in MPG, if any. And it’s going to be even worse when pulling a trailer. I just bought a 2018 with a 5.3 and have a best of 23.1mpg over 50 miles and an average hovering around 17.5-18mpg. Granted I only have 325 miles on it so far and haven’t done any road trips yet.

Just seems weird to buy a Truck if you care THAT MUCH about fuel mileage.

Maybe Mike hasn't driven one enough to check the MPG.

The Nascar motors aren't designed to have any torque at 1,500 rpms. So their torque isn't useable until they revv up a bit more.

@@Ritalie Yes but they have enough torque to come out of the pits quick enough if they had numerically higher gears and more then a 4-speed. They are pushed because of the gearing.

@@joshuahedrick No Ritalie is right that torque doesn't come on tell well after 1,500 rpms they High RPM motor most of the torque is 5000 rpms

Richard Skipper actually they don’t. They have inline 6 cylinders. Some of the small box trucks have 4 cylinders but 18 wheelers have 6 cylinders or even 8 if they’re older.

That's called free will. We all have it. Who cares what you or I chose?

@Richard Skipper Very well put.

@Richard Skipper You're dumb as a post. NO semi truck in the US has a 4 cylinder engine. Inline 6 is the norm, with pistons the size of coffee cans. And the diesels are engineered MUCH stronger than gas engines. Not even comparable, unless you can only count to 4 and not to 6 or 8.

@Richard Skipper what semi truck has a 4 cylinder engine and by "semi" I'm assuming your referring to a class 8 truck???

Glad to hear!

Can we have another update?

Only Chevy. How many miles do you think this would last if sold to a construction company?

@@jasoncentore1830 😁🤣

Back seat of the Colorado is not for road trips with adult sized children but the 4 cylinder engine would probably increase sales of the Colorado a lot because the 3.6 in it is as thirsty as a 5.3 with less truck.

The 4-cylinder turbo engine would be perfect for the Colorado and the Canyon. Keep the 4:10 rear though.

The new Ford Ranger are junk! It came over from Australia with 60,000 recalls when it came into US.

Nice gatekeeping bro

Do you mean the 11 year old "New" Ranger, with the 11 year old platform?

Why would you want a longer warranty on your titan??

Yes and there isn't going to be any gas savings if you are running it at full boost, which is 22psi, making it use more fuel than a 6.0L V8. The only savings would be on the highway and I bet its the same as a 5.3L in 4cyl DOD mode, it actually may even be worse.

Lot of companies are very focused on leasing these days.

Great torque at 1500, what happens on a hill with a load at highway speeds?? I hope the 4 ways work well

Stress is an arbitrary term. It depends on how robust the block, rods and crankshaft is made. There are engines that live virtually forever under high boost......diesels

What if I told you these 4 bangers are $16,500 off sticker. Would you consider one at that price point?

its because of a poor manifold set up causing it to crack at the waste gate seal. not gm fault. it is honeywell/garret problem because it is there turbo system

Oh please. GM built zillions of ecotec 4 cylinder motors. In general. A bulletproof motor.

Pretty sure this is a new engine design completely. I am super curious to start seeing the service bulletins that appear for these engines tho and any problems they encounter over mileage and being used like a truck.

I don't know about the 1.4l turbo but the Ecotecs don't die. I've got a 2007 2.4L that's really in too heavy and large vehicle for the amount of torque that it produces, and even under that added load of a 3600 pound Saturn Aura mid size sedan, the engine sounds and runs like new after twelve years and 160K plus miles. Whoever said GM can't make 4 cylinders has lost his or her mind. I'm more of a Ford guy, but my 2001 Focus with a 2.0L was wearing out at 100K when thankfully someone hit it while parked and totaled it.

@@RBGarick well it was designed specifically for this truck before any other application; not like Ranger's 2.3L, but is like Ford's 2.7 and 3.5L Ecoboosts which have been faring well except for a carbon build up issue on the 1st generation 3.5L. I think it should make a good base engine replacement unless there was something they missed. Quite a bit of complexity though, but so too are the other new engines with the DFM treatment and all.

Chevy doesn't make a compact truck anymore only "midsize" and up

@@mctigmctiggy1475 I agree. I'm not complaining about mpg. I have a 6.6 duramax diesel truck. So I get bad mpg. Lol. Mpg aren't a concerned for me. But for some people mpg are very important. Those are the ones who shouldn't get a full size truck.

What? Do you have any experience? 4 cylinders are great and make plenty of power, I'd take a 4 over a v6 any day of the week.

@@kfstreich4787 A 4 cylinder in a full size truck ? Really ? Lol. I would however take a 4 cylinder in a compact truck.

@@qualitylandscapeandhauling7710 have you driven the truck in question?

Mpg's maybe the similar but both don't put out the same emission levels. The main reason this engine is a big deal is because the new 3L diesel shares tech. That allowed GM to keep cost the similar 6.2L when both are optioned the same. Let's not forget 6.2L must use prem vs 87 on 2.7L.

@@jeffwill4923 Premium fuel is only recommended for the 6.2 for max power, it's far from required. Most people run regular.

Nodak81 every 6.2 I know runs on 87 and like a bat out of hell. The 4 cylinders aren’t gonna last as long as any of the other LS motors in general. Not when you put them under stress for periods of time. Most people I know don’t buy a V8 for gas mileage anyway.

Are Chevy's 6.2 gas or Diesel? My buddy just sold his Ford 6.8 which was a gas... but I'm aware that 6.3, 6.4. And 6.6 are all diesel. It's fucking confusing. Now ford is introducing their 7.3 in a gas variant which will be awesome for the few that get their hands on them

Boosted 4 banger on 87? Only if you wanna blow it up

lollllllllllll ok. We have an entire fleet of work vans that depending on tools the driver carries vary from 8,000 to 9,000lbs + towing various trailers. never had an engine failure even at 300k miles. turbo 4 cylinder in it. :)

practically all diesel engines in the world are turbo'ed .... and they do some actual work with those vehicles and tractors and at 120k those diesel engine are just breaking in.

This is simply wrong. Planes, ships, trains all use turbos. The 5.3 and 6.2 both have had a lot of issues lately. I would argue the 2.7 is the more reliable engine, If you don’t tow heavy.

morgan williams That because when people drive the 4 cylinder. They drive it hard trying to see how fast it is. Then they complain about how much fuel it burn. It take fuel to make 348 lbs.-ft @ 1500 rpm. I bought a 2016 F165. F150 with the 2.7 ecoboost engine. It only got 17.5 mpg until I learn not to step on the peddle so hard. I now get 19 mpg in the city. It always gotten 24.5 on the highway.

morgan williams Its the same story with the Ford ecoboost v6’s. You need a certain amount of fuel to get a given amount of power, wether you do it with turbos or displacement. My guess is that the chevy turbo 4 exists to give an option for someone comparison shopping against the ford.

Right , but people will be ignorant and buy it anyways. Not my problem.

4 cyl too small for that size/weight truck, even with the turbo. Ford is seeing thousands per week with turbo/engine failure. Class action lawsuit is just starting to gain momentum against Ford for selling the turbo trucks knowing they are too small and weak to be viable long term.

@@tacooffroadforlife6533 right, I got a 4Runner with a V6 and fel like i could use the power of a V8 sometimes

MPGs are not the same in real world driving

@@corpsiecorpsie_the_original GM lies on truck MPG ratings as they can by law... If you're buying a truck off listed MPG you're a fool. Get the biggest, most powerful engine you can afford.

The only way I'd got for a it is if it were an opposed piston engine...bigger more efficient pistons no valve train, simple design (dual cranks geared to a single flywheel). Heavier duty than a normal turbo gas engine. This engine comparatively has an extremely complex valve train, complex design and puts more stress on a single crank as well as having an excessively complex turbo system.

Dont buy an i4 in a car either. Just not enough power.

I have a 95 hard body bought it new it has a built KA- 24 under the hood that will make you change your mind about a 4- banger I have put a lot of the big three to shame with it so I wouldn't take shit a 4- banger with my small truck the power to weight ratio I will give any stock full size truck one hell of a race !!!

Idk 4cyl maybe but fords 2.7 is a solid engine... in fact I’d buy a 2.7 eco boost over a 5.0 right now due to the oil consumption issues... Chevy on the other hand idk but it’ll last over 50k but I wouldn’t own one without a warranty.

to aris torm... speaking of 4 cyl., diesel's... yea i would buy & drive it til the body rusted clear off of it..... cus we all know if diesel's always get maintained i know for a fact an uncle of mine stil has it cus the body rusted clear off of it & ford stil tryes to buy it..... any who he ownes a 86 escort wagon 4 cyl,. diesel & 5 spd no a/c but plain jane every thing else......... last i saw it the clock had a bit over 800,xxx real miles on it orig., motor & tranny.... cus he wasvery great at maintain it & all the stuff on the farm... after 2 yrs,. my uncle put on 15 in,. ranger rim's & tires on the 'ol wagon it was the best for it in the long run of it......motor still run's but the tranny case came apart so he parked it & covered it & it's been sitting since ...................the pinto wagon he had & still has that clock had just over 250, xxx miles on it til the body rusted off it as well.............

True. They start burning oil at that miliage and lose their power especially if towing. They feel great when new though

@@jamieround2072 *Thank the Demo-Communist for the EPA mandates where it COST consumers MORE money and they file lawsuits against manufacturers basically destroying the DIESEL engine in small trucks/cars/1/2 tons. Now they destroy the GAS engine with non-stop regulations WHO pays for it the CONSUMERS. Meanwhile they push the CLIMATE SCAM LIES 24/7 saying breathing and CO2 is going to end the planet (VOTE FOR DEMO_COMMUNIST and give the GOV all your money as they will save you.....*

I work at a dealership... first thing I thought when I drove it was no oil pressure barely 30 lbs at highway speed....the higher ups tried to tell me this is normal for a 4 cylinder motor.... BS!.... I have a 2.2 toyota and its pressure is in the 50's.... and 30's at idle....

And gets 13 mi/gal (highway) when towing!

Most people with trucks don’t even tow or haul that much

This truck can’t even haul my fishing buddies wife!

Yea but you’re not hauling if you’re buying this truck....

Dennis Morris - Sounds like the dealer was looking out for you

That dealer did you a favor

cant go wrong with LS motor..

Ford GUY for life, and I like the EcoBoost but if Ford did this I would be disappointed. The Chevy 5.3 is the best choice, always.

@throwing sparks same right here

Your being generous. I'd say 90 percent use them as large car that sits higher b
