I take my 2020 from Detroit to Tennessee and I get 23 mpg all the time. No problem. My girl friends mom live on a crazy mountain and it works just fine. My old 4.3 was a dog. I am getting to like this little 4.

I’m happy someone else likes theirs. The 4.3L really, to me also, was a gutless engine. Reliable, but gutless. I really like mine too. The MPG on the highway really is pretty good. Quite a bit better than my 3.5 EcoBoost.

I have the lower output version of the engine in my 2023 Chevy Colorado. Love it so far. I just had my first service done at 6408 miles.

Don't put oil changes out that far. Try to aim for 5000 miles. Direct injection gas engines make the oil dirty much faster than older gas engines. Oil changes are cheaper than engine repairs.

I get ~20mpg on the highway with my '15 Silverado LT 4X4 5.3L. I deleted the AFM with a Diablew tune back when I got the truck ('17 at 21K) and am happy with it. To me there's just more stress on the 2.7 turbocharged engine than on a V8. Also added the STL 010 TBV bypass for lower 6L80E temps.

All turbos by design have higher combustion chamber pressures but that doesn't mean they won't last. Big rig engines can last up 750,000 miles, those are turbo diesels running at even higher pressures. Longevity is based on its engineering and quality

the thing your not seeing is the long stroke on the 2.7 which is longer than the 6.6 duramax which helps in torque. The 5.3l is a solid engine but no torque monster and the 2.7/w a turbo will pull with out shifting down as much as the 5.3. Longevity is to be determined but basically its a diesel engine switched to gas. Only thing they will have problems with is carbon build up in the higher mileage.

I wouldnt call the 4.3 lackluster. Almost 300 hp and 300 pounds of torque is pretty good and better than some of the previous generations V8s. I own both engines and love them both. I hope this turbo will be reliable as the V6 has been.

I never liked the power in the 4.3L for some reason. It just felt like it made a lot of noise and didn’t really go anywhere. The 5.3L I could semi tolerate, but even the 5.3 made peak power so late in the rev range. The 2.7L is a great little performer, but time will tell the overall reliability. The 4.3L I still think is the ultimate bulletproof engine in Chevy’s recent past!

Make no mistake the 2.7 IS the replacement for the 5.3. Manufactures love to trim the engine options and the 2.7 does that. With more torque than the 5.0 ford, 5.7 and 6.4 Hemi and the 5.0 Coyote the only reason to have the 5.3 is to have an engine that screams on hills, blows AFM parts up and sounds like the Duke boys are in town after a visit to the exhaust shop. Small displacement forced induction is the way of the future, like it or not....

In my opion there are only two solid GM engines, 4.3L (262 CID) and the 6.6L (403 CID). My first used truck was 1963 I6 270 CID (4.4L) with 4-speed stick shift LWB that I bought from the orignal order in 1982. Until GM gets their act together, I will purchase a GMC SIERRA 2500 HD CAB) 6.6L (403 CID) SLE 2WD LWB with all the safety features to help this senior stay on the roads.
