Real life experience with GM 2.7L turbo?

[timberland]

Looking at a 2022 silverado with this 4 cyclinder turbo. Can anybody share their experiences, good and bad?

I would definitely do my due diligence on their transmissions. I know two people who have had them go out I don't think their Silverados. were more than 5 or 6 years old. As for the 2.7, Fords most recent (post 2017) is very solid and well built if you are brand agnostic. Probably gets the best gas mileage too out of any half ton.

Second the transmission concern. Just picked up my 2017 Sierra from the shop this morning with a new rebuilt put in, 128K.

I’d buy 2 GM motors (6.6 and 3.0 duramax). I wouldn’t take another gas gm if they were giving them away. Replaced a 5.3 with a new motor way too early in my last gasser. GM’s diesels are pretty bullet proof though. I just had a 21 6.6 and now have a 24 3.0.

I have the first gen nano and get 21.6 combined. Enough power for anything I need.

I run 4 of them in my fleet. They do everything the 5.3 does with better mileage. Have only had one issue once with any of them (EGR pump). They stay pretty heavy with tools, parts, ladders etc and haul trailers a good bit. The trailers are not terribly heavy most of the time, around 3k or less. The guys are not easy on them.

I drove one for work a few weeks. Didn’t like it near as much as the 5.3. Was a good truck with some pep, but always delayed. Mileage was about the same as the 5.3 in my style of driving. I absolutely wouldn’t get one if I towed anything semi regularly.
If you’re willing to save a few grand and don’t mind a slightly less enjoyable ride I think they’re a good deal.
Transmission issues were mostly from 13-18. After that, they seem good to me. Was some knocking problems on the 19-21 models but I think they worked that out.
