    I think they owe you a new truck vs. a truck that was factory built then rebuilt at the dealership. (Oil leak) I don't think it will ever be quite the same. Any manufacturer can mess up a seal at the factory so it's not a GM thing. Once the engine or trans has to be removed and parts taken off, it's not new.

    • @ridgereviews
      @ridgereviews 17 дней назад

      Thanks for the note. I tend to agree. Once they get in there (at the dealership) and start removing almost all of the drivetrain, like you said, it's no longer new. We'll see what happens in my case. I'm working on this with GMC Customer Relations. It's a long process, but hopefully with a positive outcome. Have a great week!

    I've had two consecutive chevy 1500's. I drove the first truck 240 K miles, original engine. My current 2009 has 84K miles (I'm retired so I only drive about 4K miles/year now). Both engines had chronic main seal leaks. My experience is the main seal lasts about 20K miles. In 2016 I was told the main seal was leaking again. I declined the repair. I'm still driving the truck without incident. I recently had the truck serviced at a chevy dealer. Again I was told about the leak. I declined the repair again. The leak has not gotten any worse and it doesn't leak enough to need oil added between oil changes. Both truck engines are 5.3L v-8's. It sounds like your 2.7L engine had a much more serve leak than either of my engines. I can only say that 34 years of experience driving chevy's had proven to me that if the engine doesn't leak, then there's no oil in the engine.

    I have the identically configured truck, a 2023 model in the Copper Metallic (a color just discontinued BTW) and I completely agree with your review except for the transmission lurching, I haven't experienced that but then again you have a different version of the 8L90 transmission (it was updated for 2024) so it could just be a programming issue. I am also slightly hard of hearing in the low range but the engine doesn't sound or feel rough to me, but then again that could just be my ears are not as sensitive as they once were. You mentioned the rpms and I agree. I find that my driving style makes the vehicle very rarely crack 3000 rpms. One reason I bought the truck over the 5.3 is the fact that it will hold 8th gear going up an incline and just build boost to provide the torque instead of downshifting. Even though everyone raves about the 10-speed, I prefer this truck with the 8-speed because paired with the 430 lb/ft of torque, it rarely shifts at all leading to a very relaxing and quiet driving experience.

    • @ridgereviews
      @ridgereviews 25 дней назад

      Thanks for the note. The lurching could be an after effect of the drive train rebuild from the main seal failure, but hard to tell. But like the other commenter pointed out…at least it has a 100K warranty. Have a great week.

    For the tint I suggest to do a 70% ceramic tint for the windshield & a 50% ceramic for the front driver/passenger windows This suggestion is simply bc you mentioned you want the heat protection On my truck I went with 10% rear windows & 30% front windows & windshield it was extremely dark during the day and at night I didn’t notice a difference What I did notice compared to my other vehicles, is that I didn’t have to use the ac on full blast I always keep it at the lowest setting and I’m comfortable with that and with passengers in the truck I don’t need to go more than two turns on the settings knob to have everyone feel comfortable as well The only downside is that with my 2.7 gmc at roughly 92k I had a misfire issue and the dealership diagnosed it with needing a new engine bc there was internals that broke Which is a mystery to me bc I bought it brand new and I would change the engine oil every 5k Nonetheless, I did get the extended warranty so they paid for the bill

    These Toyota "1 ton" dually trucks remind me of my uncle. My dad and my uncle were partners in a battery business (sold everytjing from car batteries to commercial vehicle batteries to batteries for some solar systems) and of course bought junks to sell to recyclers. My uncle was kind of a shit head tbh and was backwards with his money saving priorities, he would go to $500 lunches but was super anal about fuel and demanded we always took the smallest truck, even if he knew it was too small for the job and knew we were going to severely overload it. One time he was driving I5 north coming out of LA and had probably 150 junk batteries on his little Toyota "1 ton" dually flatbed. He hit a horrible pothole and SNAPPED THE AXLE. Damn near killed him and took somebody else with him, the load shifted and he lost some batteries on the highway. When he called my pops to tell hin what happened by dad laughed at him and said "i told you so". My ubcle actually believed these things could haul a ton or more. Spoiler: they couldnt. These things were a joke and were sold to blind Toyota loyalists and people that had no idea about weight or hauling. Phisher Price should have sold these to children as toys and called them "My First Dually" 😂😂😂😂

    Where was the engine made ? Look on your window sticker it tells you on the bottom right. I have a 22 refresh custom trail boss with the 2.7 and haven’t had any issues my truck, engine and transmission were all made in the U.S.A. In Indiana. Odd to see that on a brand new vehicle. But if it was made in Mexico maybe that’s why. Good luck.

    My 2018 GMC Sierra SLT crew cab Z71 consistently got 22 mpg highway on trips. And, it had 4wd hi, low, and automatic. Before I bought this truck, I test drove a Tacoma. For the price of the Toy, and lack of MPG, hp, cabin space and especially comfort, I didn't even consider it. Only thing I didn't like about my GMC was the 6 speed transmission. Hard 1-2 shifts and the transmission in park, in a parking lot would randomly clunk so hard that I had thought I had been hit by someone. And, I had the heated and cooled seats. The seats after about an hour driving became uncomfortable. I had a 2023 Ram Rebel, that had a better ride, way better seating comfort.....BUT, I never got over 15 mpg ever on highway trips, the mpg utterly sucked. Loved the truck, hated the gas mileage. So, I traded it for a new Mustang GT, LOL.

    Nice review. I bought a brand new 2019 Silverado Custom Trail Boss double cab with 5.3 and 5 yrs later, not one issue. I love it more and more each day. I thought I would miss the leather, crew cab space, luxury features, etc., but I don't. It has everything I want and nothing I don't want. I might look at a Colorado Trail Boss in the future, but it would be hard not to get another Silverado or Sierra.

      About the same as the 5.3L V8...roughly 14-16 MPG (as a running average). If you are driving in the suburbs (more consistent speeds, longer stretches of steady speeds, etc.) you can manage closer to 19-20 MPG. The truck is VERY sensitive to speed as it relates to MPG (more than any other vehicle I've owned). My MPG can swing wildly depending on how I'm driving a particular day. Someones I manage 21 MPG around town...other days 14 MPG on the same route. Sometimes 24-25 MPG on the highway, other times 19-20 MPG on the same route. But I guess the point of the 2.7L Turbomax is that IT CAN get 24-25 MPG on the highway, which the 5.3L V8 simply can't. Hope that helps.

      Thanks for the question. The engine seems to be fine. The only downside has been the sound it makes. From the interior of the truck, the closest thing I can think of to describe it is turbo charged sewing machine. It has plenty of power and it’s very smooth on the highway, but the sound is just not inspirational. But functionally, it seems solid. These 2.7L Turbomax trucks come with a 100K powertrain warranty, so that helps provide some comfort that it may last.
