Before you can make a true honest comment on this engine and Truck You (REALLY) need to go Test drive one first,,, I've Owned one now for 6 weeks I Traded a 2015 EcoDiesel in on it a 2020 Silverado 2.7 Turbo, and before that I was a Cummins diesel man for over 25 years, And so far its my most favorite truck I've ever had its like driving a diesel that runs on regular gas, Plus got A Life Time Power-train Warranty. I have always been so called old school but I think I'm on board with this new Technology.
With that being said this is a great truck for what its designed for NOT FOR TOWING LOADS OVER 7,000 Lbs I don't Tow much over that anymore so it works great for me, Thanks for reading....
Agree with everything you wrote. People shouldn't be afraid to try it before denouncing it
whats the point of this truck then ? besides pleasing the EPA ? You're better off buying a Ford Ranger...
sirgrundel I would for sure walk before I would drive a Ford Ranger , but all jokes aside my truck drives and runs like a diesel and a heck of a lot better than the Ecodiesel I traded in after the emissions recall fix it just had no power and all I tow now is a 3800 lb boat hauling loads isn’t a problem at all, my true review after 5 1/2 months and almost 10k miles my truck runs and drives great for everything. Thanks for your response. P.S. also I can drive around in town normally and get 28-29 mpg and still have all the power when I want it, and when you get into the Turbo a lot I still get 17-18 mph, thanks again.
Any vehicle can feel impressive when you take it on a 30 minute test drive. As far as long term durability and reliability a test drive doesn’t prove anything. Theres more plastic and electro-gadgets on this complex little engine than GM knew what to do with, and I bet there’s going to be a lot of owners trading it in for a V8 cause they wish they had more truck, especially after the first maintenance bill.
Chris Douglas I’ve put 12K on mine so far using for work and play and it has preformed better than all the other Diesels I have had also The truck came with a Lifetime warranty and only draw back to that I have to have it inspected at that dealer once a year so I am planning on driving it until the wheels fall off or what ever falls off first, Thanks for reply
I'm an old school guy, and I was surprised to hear about a 4 cyl engine in a full size truck. This motor performed very well on the Ike gauntlet.
It going to get even more low end torque for 22. It’s been a bulletproof engine.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q 430ft/lb. I’ve always owned a 5.3 but I think I’m going to give this a try
@@Otownbassin You will be sorry ! It will not make 100K if You tow with it !
@@thunderbolt5354 it doesn’t run at a high rpm towing so 🤘🏼
@@thunderbolt5354 Where does thing info come from? I hate when people post uneducated comments.
I’ve had mine for a year and a half, around 30,000 miles and I have nothing but good things to say. Relatively quiet engine but it still feels powerful (and I have a crew cab). The turbo actually sounds pretty good, I find myself flooring it in tunnels and underpasses just to hear it.
Curious on how normal people drive these. I baby mine, rarely take it past 2k, I have 20k miles on my 2020. Would you say you drive yours hard?
@@privilegedwhitemale306 Usually I keep it under 2-3k but like I mentioned I occasionally take it up to red line for fun.
@@MCHIBullDog Gotcha. Now thats its broke in, im tempted to drive it a bit harder, I just worry about wear, and how these engines will hold up. The 8 speed automatic is garbage and it runs hot would be my only complaint. You had anything major happen yet?
@@MCHIBullDog id like to put some bolt ons on, im just not sure what it can take.
@@privilegedwhitemale306 Nothing at all, thus far it’s really been a great experience with the truck.
I've driven suburbans and Yukon's all my life with 350s and 5.3 l V 8s. I've run them for 10 years or more and driven them between 350000 to half a million kilometers, and they were still going strong. When I see reports that come out that show this motor can do that, I'll be a believer.
There are it’s reached 2.5 million milt the bottom end is built like a diesel. Thing is a tank. Watch the video
I keep hearing this guy mention durability, yet I see a ton of plastic fittings on the cooling system with the bypass to help the engine warm up quickly. That is what is going to strand you on the side of the road. Not to mention it’s buried in the back under the intake, going to be a pain to fix all those cracked/leaking fittings when you can’t even get to them.
czcams.com/video/KuNxf2BhXyg/video.html
if they keep saying it, people will believe it. it's like anything..
Be fair, time will tell. My experience is they really do learn and they have been at this along time.
Of course you are guessing at that but sometimes high tech is surprising. In the early 70s some thought computer systems on cars would you you always broken down.
Modern seems to baffle you?
I own a 2019 and it’s great so far. Only use it during weekends and so far no issues
I really impressed with my 2.7 Silverado...it’s awesome
Mine has been reliable. About 6,000 miles. It's quick. Pulls a large covered motorcycle trailer without even noticing. I'm on a 3 year 45k lease and don't plan on buying. My 08 Avalanche with 5.3 (AFM disabled) is at 235k. Love the Avalanche. Literally leased the 2.7 Custom for weekends and not fighting with the wife to take "her Avalanche " hunting in the fall. So far I'm impressed.
That cast iron ban feature of the piston has been out now for close to 30 years . Mahle, the one company that makes pistons machines the ring grove in a keystone method so as to prevent ring breakage. The presenter never mentioned anything about the electric water pump…a nice feature
Just bought 2021 silverad custom with 2.7. I cant believe the power. I had 5.3 before. Love this engine way better
I own a 1500 dbl cab Silverado 2022 with this engine. So far I love it. The torque feels so satisfying. I sell chevys and trust it whole heartedly. Even my guys in service have admitted that these new 4 bangers never have issues so far. We are 3 years in now. They pull just as much as the other 1/2 tons and have more torque. You guys really need to drive one before shitting on it. If you’re buying a new truck I would choose this or the 3.0 inline 6 duramax. Our GM Trainer said that these two new engines are unbreakable even after the extensive torture tests. And who are we kidding? Most of us truck guys don’t make it 4-6 years without upgrading anyway. Cheers!
I have a 2021 and it’s the best performing pick up truck I have ever owned. I’ve been driving Silverado’s for 10 years and Ford before that. I’m definitely a believer. It will defy what you think a four-cylinder can do. Your buddies will think it’s a diesel if they don’t know any better. It’s great, also the turbo sound is excellent
Seems like an awesome engine. Big things come in small packages. And don't let the size of the package fool you. Totally awesome 👌 👏
We all drive something and it comes from somewhere. Great work guys
I own a 2020 and it performs great.
I just a 2021 , 4 cylinder daily driver I love it!
How's the truck holding up? I'm in the market, doing some research
Just got a 2021 and love it
It's an amazing truck !
2020 love my truck performs great
This is going to be great in the upcoming next gen Colorado and Canyon!
I have a 2022, 4x4 and I do love it. I keep trying to find youtube videos pointing to potential issues but nothing scary so far. I did pull a travel trailer and I didn't even know I was pulling it so it has plenty of power, at all times. Pulled a travel trailer with a 2010 Silverado 5.3 and I could tell I had something behind me!
What size is your tavel trailer and how much does it weigh? Mpg?
Instead of wasting boost from the turbo waste gate, store it in a chamber and reuse it at throttle increases when the turbo would normally lag due to spoolup. The larger the chamber the better. Computer operated discharge of the boost would need to be actuated via the ecm.
Put some of this tech on the 5.3.
5.3 turbo, ewp, boost recycling to eliminate turbo lag, dual lobe electronically actuated camshaft dohc.
And whatever else you used to make a 2.7 liter pump out 310 hp with all of that awesome torque.
Very well done.
My work has a flet of 1500 with 2.7 I do alot of driving 2019 silverado with 596,045km no problems most truck in the flet 25 of them have 400,000km +
What is the highest mileage you have seen on 2.7 turbo?
I've been researching this motor lately. Need to haul a couple of bikes, that's all. Heard nothing but good things so far.
So many positive comments, lol
Try:
Straight six with single turbo, direct injection with port injection added after 4k RPM.
Double over head cam. Skip all that active cylinder management stuff. Skip the variable cam.
Oh and bring back the six speed standard!
yessss!
Everything about this except the manual don’t care about that
All I wanna know is how big of a turbo can I stick in there, seems beefy enough to accept a bigger turbo. Would like to see the skirting holding down the crank on a vid.
I have a 2021 Chevy Silverado Custom I absolutely love it that 2.7L definitely feels like a 5.3 plus it has great gas mileage and towing which I love
I'm noticing less than advertised mpg in City, but way more than advertised on highway. This is all at altitude
I have the 2022 custom .it's fun to drive, seems like it's always in the right gear.
@@williambonillasr.5175 I love driving mine these new trucks are definitely making it happen with these smaller engines
The new 5.3 are trash.
The engine reminds me of old aircraft radial engines we were trained on in A&E school back in the 1970's. Back then our teachers were WW ll air corps guys and they liked training us on their old stuff.
This would have been awesome in a S-10.
The much lighter Colorado with this engine in it would be a Ford killer.
I still have a 1995 S10 with a 2.2. I have been collecting parts for a 5.3 ls swap. But maybe I should look into this engine instead!
@@2009mechanicguess what lol it happened
This looks like a very cool motor, I'd love to have this in a small truck-based SUV, like the forever-rumored "wrangler killer" they're "working on". If it were real and had this engine, that would be pretty cool.
I was about to say I'd love to see this in a Jeep. I know Jeep is working on a straight six turbo, though.
yall sound like the engineers who were touting the 5.7 olds diesel motor in 1978
Yes, A piece of junk Jeff ....fooled once ........these engines will be failures too.
Got a 2023 trail boss crew cab with it love it so far.
I seen that it has a variable pressure oil pump. Does it have a belt in the oil that drives the oil pump?
I was able to get a 6.41 sec. 0-60. (Two wheel drive extended cab). It's not slow but I pray that it lasts.
Does this engine have balance shafts? Always liked inline 6's due to the inherent balance.
I wonder what kind of gains with a good tune.
I Love my 2.7
I have a 2 ton trailer that I pull you can't even tell you're pulling it fully loaded.
WOW
Thanks Chevy
Love the Gas mileage can't wait to see what you do with it next
bo allsbrook o have a 2.7 to... very economic, fantastic power turb... simply and strong to...
Same have a Sierra elevation rwd plenty of truck and I'm averaging mid 20s mpg
@Dave Iauco That engine belongs in the blazer and camaro, not silverado. Good engine though.
@Dave Iauco There's already a 4 cylinder in the camaro.
20 mpg could of had a v8
Im here for the comments. 😲🍿
Keyboard mechanics.. lol
Can you add and after market air intake to this motor
My 2018 5.3l has 61000 miles, change oil every 3500 miles, and quite a few hrs for the miles...3350 eng hours and works 100%. No leaks and doesn’t burn oil at all. If this 2.7l reliable like that I would definitely try one.
@ killerrf Pal Your 5.3 will be around long after that stupid 2.7 TURDBO 4 has been sent through the CRUSHER !!
Try one I just got a 2022 it’s surprisingly insane on throttle response. Blew my mind and I’m old skool big motor v8 guy.
I’m forced to take one, my 5.3 fuel pump crashed…hope it’s all they say.
Wait until the lifter sticks on 5.3. Waiting 3 months now on a Jasper rebuild. Looks like 5-6 months. Can’t see a 4 cylinder holding up so Toyota next time I didn’t leave Chevy they left me.
Cylinder deactivation always leads to oil burning.
Why do they keep using it...... It's already a 4 cyl.
The epa and government regulations.
No manufacturer has offered cylinder deactivation without creating problems with the engine. Can it be turned off?
Such a great engine, give a 10 year , 100 k power train warranty , with no fine print. All components including electrical and computer controls. Etc....
10 year 100 k warranty is shit…..nothing breaks on a truck in 100 k…after 100k then you can sweat it….cost to repair looking at all the plastic and hoses and turbos and no space. ,my guess it’s going to be a nightmare ,and it’s going to be expensive…60 grand for a truck and they guarantee 100 k. Please
I’ll keep my old 350 ,
@@chrsshears4528 well sad thing is it like 36k warrenty.
I have a 2005 GMC Serra. Trucks are a rip off today. Dont car companies realize its a work truck and the guy isn't pulling in over 100k per year. . I personally think car companies are on the way out.
Does it come with a manual transmission? Or an Allison
Anybody notice the guy at 4:05? GM knows how to party lol
Is there a switch for active management
What is the timing chain like chain at the rear of the engine that appears to go down? Starter?
I bought the new truck with the 2.7 plan on putting a tune and cold air in take thinking it will easily get 400 hp
Sure it works but how long will it last and still have the same power as new? Most trucks are rated to go 300,000 with V-8..
What octane fuel are you guys using with the 2.7 turbo.
I’m seeing mid-grade perform best so far, one year old 2021 2wd, crew cab averaging 18 mpg.
Using mid grade fuel. With a balance of city and highway driving I average 22mpg. I’m pretty easy on the throttle and breaking so your results may vary.
I got the 2021 and I'm at 11k...I don't drive it rough... what issues am I expecting in the long term?
I want this for my old project car. 1989 Chrysler Conquest TSi with SHP package. 2.6L SOHC. Swapped out TBi to MPi. 320HP, 420TQ, but all custom parts, hard to find. Perfect match. Close to original but modern reliability.
Will it fit in a lotus?
Should get better gas mileage as well?
Why have you not put this engine in the Colorado yet?
my mpg dont go over 18 no matter how much i try not to step on it
Anyone know if its direct injection and port? If not another oil catch can will be needed...
I'd say more than likely direct injection
Check it out, yes I work at a dealership, when I got in the business (30 years ago) these were the power specs. 4.3 V6=160 HP. 305 8=175 HP, 350 V8=200 HP.
What is the timing chain like chain at the rear of the engine for? It appears to go down. Starter?
@@cjjacob3095perhaps balance shafts or oil pump.
My number one question about this engine is how it's going to last when it's under boost for minutes at a time when pulling up a grade. Engines are generally designed and tested for being under boost for less than 30 seconds at a time. I guess time will tell.
Idividezero it’s built like a diesel, which are great at towing under long boosted intervals.
7:30
It Aint !
@@Davis2920022001 He didnt watch the video im guessing
Most engines like these are tested for hundreds of continuous hours at full throttle, varying between full HP and full torque all while shocking the engine with different coolant temperatures.
What does the rear chain on the engine support and how will it be serviced
Timing chain and water pump
Lets see how these will fair after the 100k mile mark.
IKR? It's WAYYYYYYY too complex
Reliability first......after a 100k miles then we can start to say there’s durability. After another 100k miles then you can do a little bragging at the tavern.
I'll give it 60,000 miles and shit will hit the fan
yep my Tundra is almost 400,000 miles original engine, transmission no major engine problems just normal wear and tear regular maintenance
Most of them probably wont make it to 100k miles
You are Da Man , thank you for sharing this video 👍
So we can expect this in the Colorado,.....when?
Where is the oil drain plug on this thing? I can't find it
Someone help me
Plastic cap under oil pan. 1/4 turn and that oil comes gushing out! Need something better. It makes a mess! I've been looking for an aftermarket solution. Can't find one.
Just got a 22' 2.7 crew cab and it's a really powerful motor. Gas turbo engines are the future. Lots of low end grunt with great fuel economy. got 27mpg driving around the lake. But average on all miles is 21.8 and i like to get on it out of corner. its impressive
that's amazing for a full size pickup truck with no hybrid system installed!
27mpg or 21mpg sounds good for a full-size pickup truck
My 1994 chev. silverado with a 4.3 was still running at 309,000 miles will this 4 banger do the same?
Hell No !! All these Fools bragging on it ! Let Us see what they say after 150K !
People don't keep vehicles that long anymore.
Good day Robert Slegers. I think it depends how you drive them. I am 70 & I,m not in a big hurry to get to the next intercession. I do back road driving. Yes 4-3 was a very good engine.Up here in Ontario a litre is $1.34/litre X 4.54=6.08 per gallon. Thanks
From the company that also brought you..
The Vega aluminum engine, the Olds "diesel" the Caddy 4-6-8, the Northstar, the HT4100, Crossfire injection. The 4.3 V8, the new 5.3 that eats cams and lifters. Did I forget any other mechanical marvels from GM?
The Corvair!
The reviews are good.
I got mine last year got a straight pipe on it. And it literally sounds like diesel.
Gdamn its killing me having the actual information that I as a mechanic/racer would really like to hear being demoed in the background....ok I am at 2:18 and feeling better now ;-)
Need to swap this into my 93 s10
I’m getting a 2021 Silverado custom with 2.7
Did you get it? How is it?
@@everymaninvesting4312 i got one and love it
You'll be lucky to find a Chevrolet truck...
@@MrPAULONEAL lots of them in the Tampa Florida area
Can we put this engine on an Toyota 86
How about affordable, reliable and repairable?
Absolutely love it
AFM on this engine to? I hated the AFM on my 08, burned oil like a SOB.
Great truck
Can I put a cold air intake on this 2.7l v4?
Yes
I'm just here waiting for one local to get totaled so I can yank that 2.7 and put it in my wrx once my 2.5 goes out again lol
You have to be careful not to floor it on a corner. I was turning and tried to beat the yellow signal light. i gave it gas and the truck went sideways a little while doing a little burnout. Scared me.
Now put it in the Colorado and Canyon. Please!
I just bought one, AT4X
Is GM setting up to introduce a 4.0L I6 based on this engine?
Well, they did have the old Vortec 4200, an inline-6 with very similar bore and stroke (93 mm x 102 mm, compared to the 92.25 mm x 102 mm for this engine). I doubt they're gonna reintroduce a family like the Atlas engines with all this fancy tech.
@@b0bsaget007 that vortec 4200 was a great engine
Belt driven oil pump has everyone concerned.
Thats on the diesel bro. Watch the vid its clearly a chain
A ton of engines have a belt driven oil pump
I wish they use this engine for 3rd gen Tacoma
It's got potential but time will tell.
Engines & Transmissions have been making huge strides lately. If only they could get the EPA off our necks they could really make these things efficient and perform well.
Would it be better on gas vs a ls 5.3 engine with the same hp and torque.
Similar to a BMW N55 with out the 7000 rpm redline Yeah I have issues with having my 335 totaled from the rear but this hit home . RIP 335i
Check back with me when port injection is added. For those who take short hops with this engine, expect carbon build up on intake valves in a very short period of time.
“We make this in house” - our house in Mexico where Tito and Juan make $2/hr to make the cam actuators 😂
Sadly you are almost correct! They average a little over $3/hr
The engine is manufactured in Tennessee.
@@techhead1363 Assembled*
Most of the components are made in China. GM loves to source all of their components in China and ship the junk to the USA to assemble it. Most of the genuine GM VVT components that I’ve replaced on GM engines have China printed on them. GM does this far more than Ford.
these needs to go on those zr2
Will it fit in my '73, Vega?
Was wondering the same thing.
I own 2.7 RST is amazing
Pal You wont say that after several Thousand Miles !!
is the block aluminum?
Spray it anyways
I have studied and looked at this motor as much as I can, and the turbo and the air intake don't make any sense to me, I always thought the turbo and the air breather intake hgv had to be hooked up, I do not understand how this motor is making the hp that's it's making,
I don't think I want a vehicle with an engine where mass was removed in every area possible, which often means plastics. Saving weight from the heads of bolts? A few years down the road, after a few thousand start-stop cycles, these lightened / plastic parts could prove troublesome.
Can we get this as a crate engine?
Meika’s Game Room
Yes, they will call it the “anchor to go”
1:05 did he just say they used a 4 cylinder because they wanted low-end torque? He is for sure just an actor.
Yeah that comment was sort of comical but I drove one today and I was very impressed. Very powerful engine
@@clintlewis1719 You would love a F165 then.
I can't see any reason this wouldn't run a very long time, gotta take care of it, for me it's all i would need
When Mercedes owned Chrysler Corp.,they built the 5.7 ltr Hemi N/A with cylinder deactivation and it worked brilliantly, had a 300E AWD with all the options and it would run on 4 cylinders until 109 kph 68 mph and give me almost 200 km 120 miles to a tank of fuel with 4 people in cruise control running the factory 17" wheels. To this day i have seen no other fuel management system more reliable or less complex. i never had a warranty claim or component failure in the whole time i owned it. There maybe better systems out there or more efficient and i will say not the reliability as this one. Built and engineered by Mercedes = reliability. Ford/ Gm still aren't there yet, all too complicated.
Mercedes had literally nothing to do with Chrysler's active cylinder deactivation (MDS). In fact, they didn't have anything to do with the Hemi. They did provide the 5 speed transmission placed behind the engine for many years. They also worked with Chryslers on V6 engines, although Chrysler led that project too.
You could buy a nice used ls motor for the cost to repair and maintenance this 4 cylinder turbo. A turbo is a complex high cost high output system.
Next engine will be 1.5 L with 2 cylinder and 4 turbo - more turbo we need moooore turbo.... Yeah !!!
Love to swap this into a Miata
It's called Vtec....you may have heard of it 😆.Circa somewhere near 1987.
Impressive.
I'm an automotive machinist. Very concerned about casting dynamics, quality of the aluminum, and size of cooling/ oil galleries. What about head gasket? O rings? No mention. This is a brand new design. Buyer beware, YOU are testing this unit in real world.
Chain drive for the oil pump. Needs replacement after X miles. Timing chain no service interval… why not have a durable chain drive on oil pump?
A easy way to make mind up on this is,get 5.3 if you plan to keep it,if you trade in alot then this 4banger will hold up till its payed for...Now, however, with the introduction of the fully refreshed 2022 Silverado, only one engine is outfitted with AFM, namely the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine.Sep 15, 2021
I got the new 2022 2.7 and it`s a beast but I still get 20 mpg puttering around without getting on the highway. I had a 2014 Ford F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost before this truck and even though is says it had 50 more HP than the Silverado does, the Silverado has way more low end torque and I think it would beat the Ford in a Quarter mile run.
@burgerflipper Yeah, I hear ya there, but I sure don`t miss the 14 mpg that came with it or the $4+ per gallon that gas was going for until just recently and besides, this four banger shits and gets good enough without the sound so I`ll just turn up the tunes!
