Thanks for the review! I own a Silverado with the 2.7 and I love it. It definitely doesn't sound great, but it has plenty of power and on my 60 mile commute to work I average about 24-25 mpg. Great engine.
@@brent7368 I'm going around 60 on my route to work. Speed limit is 55 most of the way. City driving for me is around 19-20mpg depending on lights. On the interstate I hold it around 72 and usually get 22-23 mpg. I'd like to get a tonneau cover and see if that helps.
@@Redrune0928 Thanks! Yeah I'm debating a bed cover too - despite the little spoilers they developed off the back of the cab and tailgate, that bed is wide...I wonder how much air/drag it captures. Then again they do develop these vehicles with that air pocket in mind :/ so who knows.
I have a 2021 2.7 silverado and it’s a great truck. It does not sound like a V8. The turbo does sound great. I actually love it. I had a 5.3 with cylinders that shut off and on, I had misfires and now I’m giving this a shot. It’s new so of course it’s doing great. Good luck to all considering this truck, it’s not bad at all.
Back in 2020 I leased it out 3 yrs; GMC Elevation 2.7 Two wheel drive Monochromatic black with Bose system and upgraded center console armrest. A new engine for GM and so far a year later no problems. By leasing I was able to get out of my Ford hybrid Cmax which I was upside down in. I was also seeing new Trucks coming like the Ford Hybrid and new more changes were coming for the truck industry. I tow a Travel trailer total weight, passengers and gear 4,680 lbs. Tows flawlessly and plenty of torque going through the Smoky Mountains. Average gas mileage towing 10.5-11.5 65-68mph that's with no grades and no head wind. Travel trailer Dry Weight 3800lbs 19ft 9 or 10ft height. I live in Miami, Fla allot of stop and go traffic. I have towed 5000 lbs boat and pulled it out the water with no issues. Hate the Governor on this TRUCK, could easily capture 113 plus mph but the governor kills it at 98 mph. I have less then 2 yrs; hopefully no shortages on trucks by then. Hopefully the semiconductors issue is over with ?
Great video! I just bought the 2022 Silverado version and I love it! It is the Custom so it is not as fancy as yours and I used the mother inlaw GM discount so was able to get the truck for $37k so did pretty good price wise and I am pleasantly surprised at that 2.7 motor, it is a beast!
@@jayraquidan8845 A lot of people out there are dogging it because it`s a four banger, but the ones that do have never driven it before. I had a Ram 1500 with the 4.7 and it was 8 cylinder and was 310 HP just like this and this Chevy will mop the floor with that Ram with ease and get 5 miles per gallon better mileage to boot.
I’ve passed a few hemis on the highway I’m telling you those hemi guys look at me like wtf the sad thing is society sleeps on this truck cause majority of truck drivers are old school and want the v8 well I got News for them this is the future like I said Toyota is even doing it with the twin turbo v6 in all of their Tundras
@@jayraquidan8845 Well, only time will tell if they will last 200k plus miles or if I would want one if I did real serious heavy hauling but my problem with Chevy of late has been I`ve heard a lot about transmission issues way before 100k miles and that`s not good at all and it`s been by way more than a few people.
We have a 22' chevy crew cab 2.7 with 420tq and the new interior. Its really nice, looks completely different than yours. Got 27mpg going around the lake. 21.8 in town driving normal
Amazing how far technology has come. My 2010 GMC Sierra with the 5.3 V8 produces 315 hp and 335 lbs/ft of torque. This new 2.7 turbo 4 makes 310 hp and 348 lbs/ft of torque with most of it coming on the low end. Fuel economy on that turbo 4 is much better as well.
Why do a lease?you have no equity in the vehicle?All a lease is your stuck with a lifetime payment schedule when you can buy own and keep it for 12 yrs or greater is most economical way to save money.
I did the same thing; leased it out 3 yrs; GMC Elevation 2.7 Two wheel drive. New engine for GM? And so far a year later no problems. But by leasing I was able to get out of my Ford hybrid Cmax which I was upside down in.

This is a nice ride, tow 6900 lbs.,and gets 20/22 mpg🌻FTL did a highway mpg run with a Silverado 4x4 2.7 and got 25 mpg🏁Your black 20" wheels are sweet 🌼
The F150 2.7 is a n excellent truck . You have more boost That was my original truck of choice. Ford didn't bargain instead GMC gave me what would be considered loaded XLT and the Keyless Start as the Lariat. I'm not loyal to any of these trucks. Although when my lease is up; I can see me in a Ford Hybrid 3.5 a great advantage to Boone docking with travel trailer.
@@jesserevilla992 I average 23.5mpg in 50/50 driving. The highest I've achieved is 30.8mpg over a 50 mile route...with a very light foot and lots of coasting. I really like it, but it's an STX with few options.
This your 1st time owning a truck? All vehicles start at high idle then drop. All GM trucks have always been limited to 98-99MPH. Im waiting for the 2022 version of that engine now that it has been updated to 420lbs torque
I have the 2020 Elevation, Double Cab but I got mine with the 5.3 V8 and I think it will last longer than the wind out 4 banger and it will give you good torque and better H.Pwr.
I got trail boss with the 6.2 L 2021 On triple black those 2.7L are quick we race and he lunch first but after that I passed him I say to him ciao I think it the 2.7 should’ve v6 to compete with Ford good engine the 2022 it’s more torque
Just want to see that engine pulling 3,000 lbs boat…out of the dock!….or carrying the same boat on hills….that engine will last less than 4yrs….plus if you do not cool down that turbo after step on the gas..that turbo will be done sooner than those 4yrs….don’t know why GMC did this…maybe trying to compare them with Ford…big fan of GMC but I rather see that turbo on all 5.3L or 6.2L , they have turbo on diesel engines …I know won’t be gas efficient but my dream is to see GMC putting a supercharger on 5.3 L V8 it!..or a twin turbo engine thats a different story….but reducing that engine size wont make a strong engine….that size engine is good to ride around ….its a pick up….a working vehicle please!🤦♂️
@@jasoneverett7343 understand how turbo engine works but the question is Are those engine will last 4 yrs pulling 3,000 lbs? Without cranking more turbo boost pressure or rising that bolt up to 18psi …I know me and you do the proper engine maintenance but eventually that engine will suffer, turbocharged engines are very special, oil and cooling system makes the life of those engines and a farmer in somewhere do not have the time to check weekly his vehicle because of his workload and that engine won’t last that long that’s my opinion and thanks for replying back.
Ford has been promising on their Turbo's My GM 2.7 a year later no issue's. Listen eventually they'll all have boost, Hybrid or you choose Full electric . Unless you can convince the manufactures otherwise.
Why would anyone pay that kind of money on a “Full Size Truck” with a half of engine to save a mile of two per gallon? Putting a turbo on a 4 Cylinder! GM does this for two reasons. To meet the MPG standards across the board set by the government and second because they didn’t put the right engine in the truck in the first place. So sad that people fall to be such easy prey to the government. Spending this kind of money on a full size truck because your worried about fuel mileage. Now it’s definitely confirmed why they say you can’t fix stupid!!!!!

At least you can get passed the 100 mph; where as for the GM 2.7 governor holds you off at 98
Friend had a blow out at 100 mph. He and his niece are no longer with us!
Over 80 in a truck and you are asking for major trouble.
Oh God,Man I sure miss that good old reliable 4.3 litre Ecotec V6 man.

Don't know why they need a 120 psi oil pressure gauge when it only runs a stupid 30 psi.I,d like to see more like 40 to 50 psi at highway speeds
I see the Cavender dealership on the tailgate. I'm assuming in San Antoino. I'm wondering if you actually bought the one I'm looking at online.
Probably
Everyone is saying it stops at 98. I’ve had mine to 120. I wonder why yours has the governor. My 2018 Lt had it and It stopped me at 98 too
GM needs to put this engine in the Canyon and Colorado!
They are now
This beautiful, my wife gave to me for my birthday
I like. too bad I dont have 40k.lol Whats all of the extra plastic boxes under the hood? Seems like the entire engine compartment is full.

@@cs1992 That is absolutely great gas mileage. I shared this only so others can hear it from an owner.
That would be a V6 vs a four cylinder. Remember Ford's 2.7 is a V6 Ecoboost. Ford's four cylinder Ecoboost is the 2.3.
This your 1st time owning a truck? All vehicles start at high idle then drop. All GM trucks have always been limited to 98-99MPH. Im waiting for the 2022 version of that engine now that it has been updated to 420lbs torque

I have the 2020 Elevation, Double Cab but I got mine with the 5.3 V8 and I think it will last longer than the wind out 4 banger and it will give you good torque and better H.Pwr.
Around Asheboro,NC I've heard of 2 5.3s 300,000 miles + so if you maintain that engine it should last a very long time 🌻
Getting ready to trade my 21 gmc 5.3 in today for this elevation!
How’s the towing?
Can you get one with a manual transmission?
Does the 2.7 have to have premium gasoline in it or does it matter ?
Regular gas
Do those running boards make noise at highway speeds ?
No
Does the governor only come on Elevation trims? I have a 2020 base 2.7L sierra and ive done 115 before on it?
Even the 6.2 cuts out at 98. Embarrassing that a old Honda passed me on the long run. Good thing it was a rental.
All the new Silverados do that.
You can buy an engine tuner module and turn the speed limiter off. Not sure how that would work with the warranty though.
Idk why people act like you can’t just remove the governer
Super Dave
Bought a 4 cylinder Full size
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Times are a changing. We're also getting all electric trucks. 🤷♂️
Did you remove the side badges with the diesel logo
No it’s not a diesel
Fastest truck you can buy from the factory today!
Good job man
I got trail boss with the 6.2 L 2021
On triple black those 2.7L are quick we race and he lunch first but after that I passed him I say to him ciao I think it the 2.7 should’ve v6 to compete with Ford good engine the 2022 it’s more torque

6600
