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....

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I really impressed with my 2.7 Silverado...it’s awesome

I own a 2020 and it performs great.

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

Just bought 2021 silverad custom with 2.7. I cant believe the power. I had 5.3 before. Love this engine way better

This is going to be great in the upcoming next gen Colorado and Canyon!

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

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 +

Seems like an awesome engine. Big things come in small packages. And don't let the size of the package fool you. Totally awesome 👌 👏

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!

I own a 2019 and it’s great so far. Only use it during weekends and so far no issues

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!

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

Got a 2023 trail boss crew cab with it love it so far.

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

This would have been awesome in a S-10.

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....

yall sound like the engineers who were touting the 5.7 olds diesel motor in 1978

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.

We all drive something and it comes from somewhere. Great work guys

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.

Cylinder deactivation always leads to oil burning. Why do they keep using it...... It's already a 4 cyl.

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.

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.

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.

I've been researching this motor lately. Need to haul a couple of bikes, that's all. Heard nothing but good things so far.

Im here for the comments. 😲🍿

Anybody notice the guy at 4:05? GM knows how to party lol

Lets see how these will fair after the 100k mile mark.

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.

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.

Need to swap this into my 93 s10

I’m getting a 2021 Silverado custom with 2.7

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.

Two points. One is your frames. Wax on wax off. The other is that an overworked 4 banger will eventually spin its bearings and have an affinity for gas. A lot of gas. You'd be better off putting the I 6 250 or 292 from the 60's. Great mileage, smooth as silk and will last forever.

I am an old school v8 kind of guy. I have also dabbled in hi-po 4 and 6 cylinder stuff. I feel better about the 4 cylinder on a truck after watching this, but I am still hesitant getting one in a truck that will tow a car and trailer. No heavy towing...is a more realistic possibility. If your oiling system and valve train are not 100% DEAD NUTS NO COMPROMISE NO EXCUSES RELIABLE, IT'S A FAIL. Those are two features which gave the GEN 1 SBC a huge advantage over other brands for decades. The DOD LS GEN4 v8's have a huge valve train reliability problem, I have a 2015 5.3 Silverado, and I disabled the v4 to v8 mode so it will live. I can't buy a Chevy Truck, and hope the internals are reliable, so for now give me the v8. Now that engine in a rear wheel drive car, or better yet a crate version I can swap into my 75 or 79 Chevy Monza....NOW WE ARE COOKING WITH GAS!!!!

I like how people crap on this little engine and complain about " why not just get 5.3 V8. For all the dim people out there..... It's the base engine now. It's not meant to compete with higher cost engines. You can get these trucks pretty cheap.

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.

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?

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.

“We make this in house” - our house in Mexico where Tito and Juan make $2/hr to make the cam actuators 😂

Next engine will be 1.5 L with 2 cylinder and 4 turbo - more turbo we need moooore turbo.... Yeah !!!

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

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.

My 1994 chev. silverado with a 4.3 was still running at 309,000 miles will this 4 banger do the same?

I got mine last year got a straight pipe on it. And it literally sounds like diesel.

Now put it in the Colorado and Canyon. Please!

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.

Love to swap this into a Miata

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?

1:05 did he just say they used a 4 cylinder because they wanted low-end torque? He is for sure just an actor.

Belt driven oil pump has everyone concerned.

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.

How about affordable, reliable and repairable?

I own 2.7 RST is amazing

Why have you not put this engine in the Colorado yet?

I just bought a 2020 with one of these in it. The thing shits and gets for such a little engine. Almost wish though it wasn't so torquey cause it doesn't do well in the rain.

I would like to listen to techs that work on trucks yes trucks not cars

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..

Sorry but the MPG is not what they say. 14.9 in town; and that keeping your foot out of it and hypermiling. The performance is surprisingly good though. I just sucks to get lied to over and over by Chevy.

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

The best test is the test of time! Talk to me in 10 years or 300,000 miles!

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.

I hope this engines performs and stands the test of time and the consumer, if it does then maybe it will be used in the Colorado/Canyon trucks

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.

Y'all are so worked up over a 4 cylinder truck... just wait until someone introduces you to an all electric truck, then you'll really shit the bed. 😂

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

I wonder what kind of gains with a good tune.

Does it come with a manual transmission? Or an Allison

Put it in the Colorado. Not a Silverado.

So, 5 yrs later this 2.7 twin volute I-4 now referred to as turbomax & producing 430 ft-lb torque (compared to 383 ft-lb torque of 5.3 V-8) has proved so successful, that it is the sole engine in Colorado, & Canyon. Also, a very similar 2.5 liter version has been developed for Traverse, Enclave, & Acadia. Ford has been producing 2.7 ecoboost V-6 twin turbo for nearly 10 yrs. Ram retired their 5.7 V-8 in half ton trucks, replaced by 3.0 I-6 twin turbo hurricane. Seems as though this is the design of the future. 2024 Silverado & Sierra w/ turbomax get a 5 yr/100,000 mile drivetrain warranty compared to 60,000 mile for 5.3 V-8. The engineering of a turbomax (like a duramax diesel) is how small displacement w/ turbo outguns V8. Forged bottom end, spincast nodular iron cylinders, pistons w/ iron carrier cast into them that carry the piston rings, it's a diesel w/ spark plugs that runs on 87 octane - 25% less expensive fuel & no def.

@Hard working Trucks You Guys need to wait a couple of years before you do all this Bragging ! I forecast this Engine will dissapear in the engine lineup in a couple of years !

If they would have put more r&d into the 4.3 it could have been a more powerful and efficient engine

It's called Vtec....you may have heard of it 😆.Circa somewhere near 1987.

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

I'm no engineer but that engine will probably top out around 150k miles.

I did and I love it would do it again everything he’d saying is true it hauls a@@ and I get 28mpg in full size

The way you test an engine for real life is forget a few oil changes, put the wrong oil weight in a few times, put some low quality fuel in for 50,000 miles, and never change the coolant.

I just bought a 2021 3 weeks ago already getting serviced and dealer said they don’t know what it is they calling a Chevy engineer to figure it out shit engine breaking down at 750 miles

my mpg dont go over 18 no matter how much i try not to step on it

I just can’t do it. I’m sticking with the V8 until we get some long term data on these engines.

The reviews are good.

That's is awesome. Now car manufacturers need to work on creating vehicles people can actually afford.

I seen that it has a variable pressure oil pump. Does it have a belt in the oil that drives the oil pump?

Very interesting, from this side of the world in 95% of cases the vehicles are powered by a 4-cylinder engine and with less than 2 liters of capacity and 2.7 liters is considered to be a larger engine !! Trucks are all diesels with 4 cylinder and with 2 or 2.2 liter engine capacity, V8 monsters we only see in movies or once a decade on the road !! Welcome to the world of small engines, probably Uncle Sam is preparing much higher taxes for V8 engines with a lot of ccm while they started producing smaller engines but with such a low gas prizes that you have in US I would still want a big ass engine no matter how many cylinders it has.

In my opinion Instead of getting new engine build you should work on a 5.3 L to be more reliable ignition coils should be going out at 30 to 60 thousand miles in my opinion you should go to Japan pick up some skills

Who buys a full size pick up truck with a four cylinder engine

AFM on this engine to? I hated the AFM on my 08, burned oil like a SOB.

Is GM setting up to introduce a 4.0L I6 based on this engine?

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,

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.

Anyone know if its direct injection and port? If not another oil catch can will be needed...

3:00 Not a mechanic but that thing on the bottom of that guy's hand looks like a Turbocharger. Since it looks like a blow-dryer or something.

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.

BTW, do you really think anyone wants a 4 cylinder in a truck? I don't think so!!!!
