Why? It’s 2023, you’ll never see a V8 in anything unless it’s absolutely necessary. The prior v6 was junk. This new 2.7 has a ton of potential and is severely over built. Do your research

I have owned a 2023 Canyon for about 3 months now and I get tired of headlines that include sentences like "is this vehicle better than that vehicle" everyone has different wants and needs when they decide to buy a certain brand of truck and there is no such thing as the perfect truck. Just because I chose the Canyon doesn't mean there aren't other great choices out there that might suit your needs in price, quality, and styling that are a better choice for you and your needs.
@DragonKnightX12 Жыл бұрын
Hot take. I think the engine is actually pretty impressive if you look at from bigger lens, instead of just focusing on the fact that it makes the same fuel economy as the V6. It's make 310hp and 390-430lb-ft, and it peaks real low in the power band, Just take in the fact that the high output tune is making only 30lb-ft less then GM's bigger 6.2L V8 in the half-tons, and it makes it sooner at 3k rpm.

Checy better sell a lot and attract new customers because when the new Tacoma arrives woth theor hybrid more fuel efficient power train and the Ranger is game over for them. Rigth now theu cant afford tp be greedy with high mark ups (lots of dealers do) and amp the production. I myself waiting until the end of the year to see all the new trucks, but im a smart buyer and not a fan boy or someone who needs a truck rigth now.

There’s no way you bought one of these and then moved to a 23 Tacoma and thought that the Tacoma felt less “cheap” the third gen taco was outdated the year it was released. I’ve been in both and bought a Colorado, the Colorado has the taco beat in every single category.

@@elche1976 😂 “no replacement for displacement”. I hope it ends being one of the greatest motors GM has ever engineered “2.7L”. I guess on a short test drive with it and having a 17’ Colorado myself with the 3.6 and having driven a Silverado with the 5.3 V8 for a couple thousand miles I’d lean towards the naturally aspirated V6 or V8 over this turbo 4. Just my opinion nothing wrong with liking this 2.7 😎👍
@dschmidt1140 Жыл бұрын
I've got a '23 Traverse with the 3.6 V6, love the sound when it starts up. Glad I didn't wait for a new one, 4 banger turbo is too small an engine for such a big vehicle, especially hauling 6 people + cargo. I had a Ranger years ago with a 4 banger (sans turbo). And it was fine as long as you didn't overload it too much.
