Glad you liked it

fact

No way! Is it possible to get 30 mpg fairly consistently on the highway or is that just a peak "eco" type of driving?

My guess is that's kind of an outlier, however I have heard of people regularly getting between 22 and 25! Really not bad plus the city mileage is quite good

@@bigjohn3479if someone drives carefully enough they could get high mileage on a truck. I can get 28 mpg on the highway on my Jeep Gladiator. I also just bought another truck, a Supercrew F-150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost and a 6.5’ bed. I just bought it and haven’t done a road trip yet, but the best highway mpg I’ve been able to get has been 21 mpg.

17.3 mpg towing 6k pounds is what these small displacement turbo charged truck motors are all about. I have an F150 with the 2.7L twin turbo and I get about 25 mpg empty with the cruise set at 65. I haven't towed with it yet but I'm curious what my mileage will be.

On the Highway did you have a 23+ mpg? Really???

@@alexk163 I got 24 on mines

@@rdsii64 you still happy with your 2.7

@@wmubroncos93 You better believe I'm happy with my 2.7!

@ Brandon Pal Enjoy it now Cause it gonna Blow up in a Year or Two ! Yes You Could have had a V8 !

These 2.7’s seem to be holding up just fine.

@@jerem0621 Well, I wouldn't know because I missed the V8 and 4wd so traded for a similar Trail Boss. It feels like the engine i have driven most my life and I love it because I know it. 2.7l 4 banger will never compare...sorry Chevy.

@@johnpapadakis1029 well, I traded in for a V8 trail boss. That 4 banger was just not enough. I have no clue what miles I get now and it is probably better for Joe Biden that I stay clueless. Kinda like how he operates everyday.

@@thunderbolt5354 don't count on it. It is a truck engine from the ground up. Built like a diesel but runs on gas.

Looks like me when im stoned

@@torryminers2177 🤣🤣👍

that's me when my wife was keep talking

The dog. 😂😂😂

Nice!

Are you driving on country roads to get to work? Or is it more of city/suburban driving with stop and go traffic? That’s very impressive considering it’s a lifted full-size truck.

10 miles of 45/55 highway, 10 miles of 70mph interstate. 42,000 mile average of 17mpg.

No need to be ashamed to have a nice new truck. Who cares what motor you have

@@JrsGasolineAlley yeah that’s what I’ve been telling myself. I love my truck it’s nice. But already had a guy hit me with the “why would you not get a v8?”

You will enjoy it more if you do a muffler delete and let that turbo sing. I love V8’s but I’m very interested in this 4 banger

@@CactusJack252 id be up for that tbh

u like it what u get it new trim level as well

@@bcateriosis4114 no I wish I did just for the tow rating but I love it still

ur so right. thats all i see when i scroll comments on other videos. all gays

Any idea when that would be?

@@thtdudenamdbilly you can now order on their website

It's been a great truck sofar

Thats impressive.

That's the best thing they could do. To me this has been a great engine and in the Colorado this would be amazing

the 2.8 is being neglected. With some minor updates and paired with a 10 speed it would do a lot better. FFS its getting out classed by the 3.0 in the much larger Silverado. By definition a smaller, lighter truck with a smaller engine that has 80% of the power should get better fuel economy, and it doesn't.

If I had to buy one again, I'd buy the 2.7 for sure. Quite happy, averaging 19.8mpg over the past 88k miles with towing, hauling, and everything else included.

That is awesome!

How much your tank takes to fill it up is it g71

I have V6 Chevy Silverado Z71 Trail Boss waste a lot of gas

Congratulations enjoy your new truck

@@johnpapadakis1029 Love mine, couldn't be happier!

I just got my 2021 Elevation 2.7l turbo with 30k miles. So far I love it, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about lifter damage from AFM. Have any of you had any issues? And has anybody here had the AFM disable or delete kit installed? Or ant recent updates I should be concerned with?

Oh for sure, I came out of my 2018 Sierra 2500 that I had for work (left that job) and got this. It is every bit as powerful as that truck was for normal opperations.

I currently have a 2016 2500hd with the 6.0. Indont tow as heavy anymore. Rough ride, 11 mpg unloaded=$600 a month in fuel, and only 380 torque has me thinking about going back to a 1/2 ton since they’re so capable now. I tow 6k lbs monday-Friday so I think any 1/2 ton truck would work for that. How do you feel about towing with the 2.7 vs your 6.0?

I agree the 8 speed is the reason I'm waiting. GM offers this engine in the caddilac ct4-v backed by the 10 speed already so I know its doable

Agreed it’s a sin to ride a full size lifted truck with a lawnmower engine

@@alvidrez7956 nah

No way are you depreciating at 50-60 cents per mile. That would mean this truck is worth $0 in only 58k miles of driving. Haha its got 65k on it now and Carvana will pay 32k for it.

Yeah its pretty effortless.

TRUMP!!!!

Honest question, why put a lift kit and bigger tires on a 2wd?

@@sonnysystems1337 I didn't it already had it on there

Yeah it is easily into the 21s right now with mostly around the town driving now that everything is shut down

Congrats on your new truck.

Maybe you did. It's a turbo working a 4 cylinder hard to push a heavy truck! I don't understand how people can think this is ok. Maybe it can tow well(not sure, I have to research this) but even so it's a freaking 4 cylinder pushing a large truck and trying to tow!!! I bet around the 60,000 mark you'll have stress related oil leaks.

@@wkw4095 so after owning it now for a few months, i can report it’s harder for the 2.7l to return the fuel efficiency my 2018 5.3l did. I have to baby it and work to drive it efficiently to get 22-23mpg highway. The 5.3 would get 24 without even trying. I just did a long stretch CT-MD and it was mostly 24mpg and I was working to keep it efficient. My 5.3l has made the trip several times and would get over 26 easily.

BS

@@rustyrutledge9094 I also say bs. our 5.3 ONLY ONCE on a Seattle to Cottage Grove trip got 22. All the other trips, 19 maybe 20. I also call bs, 26 on a 5.3. Not my experience. Beave

It's been a great engine for my needs so far.

My pleasure!

Nice

Thanks!

What was the 2014's mpg?

@@JrsGasolineAlley I had 26.9 as the best in 400 miles. I can say it was easily 10% better than this one. 2019 is huge and it likes moving wall 😳

I am having the same issues with my 19 Sierra with the 4.3 V6. Terrible fuel economy because of the big hood and bulkiness of the truck. It's creating too much wind resistance as that big hood and big bulk is trying to punch a hole through the air thus causing the motors to work harder. Here's an explanation: gmauthority.com/blog/2018/09/2019-silverado-fuel-economy-why-the-numbers-barely-moved/ Poor judgement by GM in letting this happen when its closest competitors, Ford and Dodge, are getting better fuel economy from similar engines. The big hood and low seating also inhibits visibility. In the base model I have, there isn't even a manual adjust for height. Even a base Cruze has it. I even sat in a Sierra that had a power seat and it didn't make much of a difference as the seat starts off too low and the power version does not life it high enough to get a good view. I've owned GM trucks for 30 years...this one has been the most disappointing....5 recalls, the radio had to be replaced, and the doors needed to be resealed due to water leaks. Now, I'm getting a hard 1-2 shift in the tranny, a tremendous amount of rattling in the cab when the truck travels over bumpy terrain, and a lot of wind noise. Wish I could trade it in but I'd lose too much money. Has your truck been better?

@@joeraptor1 my truck isn't that bad. Of course, I went through all recalls, but didn't have your other issues. Mine is Silverado LTZ. I checked Ford and Ram as well. Their MPG is very close to mine. I'm just talking about my 5.3L V8. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about 4.3 V6.

Getting 20mpg on my 2019 5.3l

The Canyon would be amazing with this motor

Wow, to match your car is pretty good.

Just crossed 2k and I still really like the truck. Worth it for what you are describing

@@JrsGasolineAlley you still happy with the truck ? I have Nissan Titan v8 9 mpg city and 13.5 mod highway and i really thinking in buy the 2.7 Silverado 1500

Interesting.

Oh and it’s 160 lbs lighter than the 5.3.

Lol

Lol. Why would you ever want the 4.3 over this motor?

4.3 is the worst motor they have hence why they are scraping the V6 . I could see some one wanting the 5.3 over the 2.7 but definitely not the 4.3

Just so everyone knows the 2.7 l is like an entire second faster 0 to 60 than the V8 or the V6 it tows slightly less other than that it's a more powerful motor it's 310 horses which is only like 40 horses more than the V6 that's a whole Harley-Davidson Sportster worth of horsepower

Lol

She is a good dog

No!? You cant be serious

Agreed.

@ Mnj fmj You are very Mechanically Stupid !! 4 Banger in a Extremely Heavy Tahoe ? BA HA HA HA BA HA HA !!!!!!!!

@@thunderbolt5354 you do realize the 2.7T hae a much more usable torque curve then the 5.3L V8? The 2.7T 348lb-ft of torque from 1500-4000RPM, the 5.3L torque doesn't peak until 4000rpm(383lb-ft), requiring downshift to keep the rpm up to do any real work. I'd take the 2.7T and its diesel like torque every time. Thats even before considering the 75 miles average farther per tank the 2.7T can drive then the 5.3L.

@@hogrod Bullshit Dude the 5.3 has a way Higher towing and Hauling rating ! The 2.7 TurboTURD Doesn't come close to the towing and hauling ability of the 5.3 and 6.2 ecotec V8 powered GM Trucks ! 5.3= 11600 pound tow rating 2.7TurboTurd 7000 pound tow rating !

might want to look at your info, GM raised the tow rating 2000lbs for 2021 with no changes to the truck. GM engineers said further testing showed it more than capable of the new 9600lb rating. Unless your talking with the max tow package the 5.3l and 6.2l both tow about the same as the 2.7L now. Also don't forget, lighter engine gives the 2.7T a highest payload of all 1500 trucks. Drive one before you comment, you would realize your prized V8 isn't that much of an improvement in towing capability. Power curve doesn't lie.

Thanks 👍

Woof woof

Im at 23k an has been a dream. Will be doing a update video with MPG and the like at 25k

Love it. Almost crossing 6k miles now and it has been one of the best automotive purchases I have made. 20.9avg as of now.

Jr's Gasoline Alley thank you very much for the quick response. I’m still debating it, but this gives me some confidence in buying one.

Yup

If you're really towing heavy you wouldn't use a half to be fair. This towing 6k lbs all day will be fine vs a 5.7 . My old dump trailer empty was just under 3k lbs and my 1500 got terrible milage even empty . Granted this was years ago with the 6 speed, but motor was still the same as today

2.7 is gas

@@tjh7797 My comment was comparing the Ram EcoDiesel to this 2.7 L running premium as that's what I run in my Raptor. I know a few people with this 2.7 L that are not getting much better fuel economy than the 5.3 L so I'm going to stick with the EcoDiesel.

Lol

Nice

Who knows, time will tell. I am almost crossing 10k so far so good.

Cool

Cool...

going downhill

Its generally the turbos goes after the injectors 150Kish range If driven real easy , have seen before that and at 100K or less when pushed all the time ~its common

@@thunderbolt5354 oh freaking really

@@dennishays3617 Hey Pal Google Scotty Kilmer The Master Mechanic and see what he says about the 2.7 4 Banger Silverado !

Yep, thats a great choice these days. Although it doesnt tow 9,000lbs but for daily driving all good.

Yes these engines use a variable rate oil pressure pump, so it its quite normal to see the oil pressure look "low"

14k on the truck so far. Only one trip to the dealer for an oil change.

Thanks bro, I appreciate your comment, I will take it into account.

It would be a beastly motor in those trucks.

I still absolutely love this truck, I'm over 40K on the truck and have been averaging just north of 20 MPG. That includes all the towing and wide range of driving conditions that I do. Sometime soon I'll do a update on the truck, but I'm incredibly pleased with it

Recording fuel ups are different than attempting to get special mileage. Why wouldn't you track fuel economy along with all other inputs for your vehicle?

The truck does have 4 low
