I have this truck in red. It is super quick. The turbo sounds SOOOO good. Gas mileage sucks but I am super happy about my purchase.

Yeah once you get to leaning on those 4 cylinders pretty decent there just as bad on gas as the v8.

I’m not a 4 cylinder hater but I’d never buy one in a truck. I have to say tho, I almost shit when he said it was lol, it’s towing capacity seems impressive for a 4, I wonder what the 6 and 8 can tow.

@@Billmull8622 So the 4.3 V6 that your referencing (RPO code LV3) has never been offered in the T1 trucks which are the current gen 2019+ trucks. The LV3 is a fully modern engine design, the architecture from which the current 5.3 and 6.2 V8 options are derived. However, for whatever reason GM never put the LV3 in the Colorado/Canyon twins instead opting for the 3.6L DOHC (RPO LFX). Now the current gen Colorado got delayed for financial considerations plus the Covid 19 pandemic. However, GM had been developing the 2.7T the whole time to debut in a new Colorado for many think the 2020 model year. With the mid-sized truck program delayed by several years, GM had the 2.7T engine ready and decided to launch it in the brand new T1 Silverado/Sierra, replacing the 4.3 LV3. Comparing the K2xx 2018 Silverado 1500 with the LV3 to the T1xx 2019 Silverado with the 2.7T this is what you gain. 285hp vs 310 hp for a gain of 25 horsepower. 305tq vs 348tq for a gain of 43 ft/lbs. Towing is 7,600 vs 7,000 for a loss of 600 lbs towing capacity. However the story doesn't end there. In 2022 GM added a kilo of aluminum to the block and with some other changed including upgrading the camshafts and crank, and turning the boost up to a max of 27psi, GM was able to upgrade the torque rating to 430 ft/lbs, which is a 125 ft/lb improvement over the 4.3 V6. Towing was also increased to 8,900 lbs for a gain of 1,300 lbs over the prior generation V6 Just in case your wondering the tow ratings between the 2.7T, 5.3/6.2 V8, and the 3.0L turbodiesel are all within a few hundred pounds of each other, basically all 4 options perform exactly the same not in terms of feel but in terms of what the capacity is. However the key difference is that the V8 and diesel powerplants can be optioned with the Max Tow package which increases towing capacity to between 11,000 and 13,000 lbs depending on engine. The 2.7 cannot be optioned with the max tow package and probably never will be so if you need to tow more then 9,000 lbs your gonna need a V8 or a diesel.

@@joshuahedrick that’s interesting and crazy to me! Thanks for typing all that out, I appreciate the info! I was just with a friend yesterday who has the f150 and his is the v6 with a turbo and he said it’s towing capacity is more than their v8. It’s amazing what they can do with these turbos. You’re right tho, I’ve been looking at v8 diesels, not ford tho. The only ford truck I was looking at was the power stroke, it’s been a while but I think the 6.2? I don’t remember right now but one of the models is significantly better than the others. I was looking at the Max tow package as well. What do think I should go with if I want to tow a minimum of 12,000?

@joshuahedrick 3 ай бұрын

@@Billmull8622 Your welcome. I enjoy weird engines and the GM 2.7T qualifies as weird. If your looking at towing a minimum of 12,000 pounds then you really are gonna need a 3/4 ton. Ford's 6.2 is a gas engine that they offered in the prior gen F-250/350. Their Powerstroke diesel, which is quite excellent, is the 6.7L. So basically it comes down to what the maximum weight you will be towing, and how often you are towing to justify the cost of diesel, because in heavy duty trucks your not gonna recoup the cost savings of diesel unless you tow A LOT!!!! If your going Diesel, all of the "Big 3" trucks are quite good. Ford tows the most, Ram has the best interior and road manners, with GM kind of in between but also has a lot of positives as well. If your going gas I personally would go GM the 6.6L has proven to be a little more reliable then the 7.3 and 6.8 gas motors in the Ford.

The 2.7 is good. Coming from the 4.3 it has a lil more power and better mpgs. I see alot of people complain about the fuel economy but Ive been averaging just under 21 for the last year. Turbos want to go and if you drive it like that it going get bad mpgs but if you cruise it like a truck (drive like a grandpa) youll get good mpgs.

I got a 2021 Chevy new At 30000 miles transmission was giving me issues Took it in they changed a valve and gasket on the transmission said it was good. At 58,000 miles car was in the shop again same problem car was jerking and on a cold start wouldn’t move in D until it jerked forward. Chevy took out the transmission and said the gears are slipping they will “repair” by changing the torque converter. Overall horrible experience on my first new car. My family has had great experience from gmc trucks V8. These trucks aren’t the same.

My fully loaded brand new 2024 SLT with the 3.0L engine, Max Trailering package and Premium Plus package cost almost $2000 less than the asking price of that bare bones Elevation. And that was out the door.

@joshuahedrick 3 ай бұрын

What's your point? My 2023 Elevation that had a few more options then the one reviewed in this video cost me $42k out the door vs the $55k your truck cost? If that is accurate then that's a $13k difference. So, what's my point? Both of us are good at getting good deals. You can't compare your deal to the sticker price on a lower trim vehicle and then crap on it. Also the Elevation package is not bare bones. It's a pretty good value, if it fits your needs. I just configured a 2024 SLT, 3.0 diesel, max trailer and premium plus package. With no cost white paint and zero other options (which I'm sure you did have a few other options) the sticker price is $68k vs $57k on the truck being reviewed in this video. Just be fair when you comment is all I'm asking. That's an $11k sticker difference.

Always get confused by the year to year fuel economy rating changes. I have the same exact truck a 2023 CCSB Sierra 1500 Elevation 2.7T 4WD and my window sticker was 18c/20h/19co and even with that higher rating the (my) truck exceeds its rating if I'm driving the truck normally and don't floor it all the time. Granted I live in the countryside and this truck absolutely loves back country roads 2 lanes miles and miles between stop signs 35 to 55 miles per hour. So......this truck being reviewed in the video most likely will really beat the EPA sticker rating by a ton. And in case anyone is wondering yes I have the optional Goodyear Trailrunner AT tires which is the only factory offering which affects this truck with the Elevation trim and the 4 cylinder option. This is the case because you cannot option different wheel sizes or get a max tow package or anything like that.
