The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado Gets A New Interior And A More Powerful 2.7L Turbo

With V8 like pull, Chevy's new 2.7L turbo is the engine to beat... Or would that be Chevy's excellent 3.0L diesel? Either way it'll be hard to chose now that Chevy has pulled their thumb out and given the Silverado the interior it has always deserved.

    If you don't need a full size truck then the maverick I'll be just fine and save you some money. If you need a full size truck then it doesn't matter how much money you save, you won't be happy. If you need a full size then you could buy a used full size for the price of a new maverick. Just saying.

    If you're waiting for prices to go down they won't on new autos. You'd need deflation for prices to go down (central banks won't allow deflation, claim to target 2% when we're currently at 8.5% as reported by fake government numbers. Real inflation around 17% year over year). Used autos might go down a tad with gigantic price jumps last couple years but even then unlikely with massive money printing by central banks last 2 years led by US (40% of all US dollars printed ever done in last 2 years).

Their hybrid ECVTs for example in Rav4/Hylander/Sienna/Prius (for example) are based on same ones made 20 years ago and just been refined each generation. All those also come with naturally aspirated engines and the ECVTs are less complex and higher reliability then auto transmissions. New turbo engines like in Tundra have no history to show relability. Will have to wait 3+ years.

They are under tremendous pressure to go with smaller engines and to heavily invest in EV. I predict that within 20 years you won't be able to buy a new V8. I hope I'm wrong. I love my 6.2 but these little turbos are the future whether we like it or not. It wasn't that long ago that full size V8 sedans were everywhere. Now they are gone forever.

    @@james2042 Hmm. Yes with this and many other things it's just a vocal minority painting a bad picture. Thanks for the reassurance though. You seem to know your stuff regarding GM trucks so I'll believe you. I'm currently looking at the 5.3L V8 or the 3.0L Diesel. The 5.3L because it's a V8. That engine configuration is just legendary and they are only getting fewer and also the higher peak power. The 6.2L apparently has significantly worse fuel economy than the 5.3L and it also says you should use premium gasoline. I thought modern engines can handle lower octane gas well and would just make less power and consume a bit more fuel but according to comments on the internet (best source, amirite) it makes unusual sounds and is noticably weaker on regular gas. The Diesel because of range, fuel economy and torque. According to EPA numbers you save quite a bit on fuel with the diesel even though diesel is more expensive but maybe maintenance and repairs are more expensive than the V8 so it might make the lead narrower. Do you know anything about the octane thing and the actual fuel economy you'd expect from these engine and maybe the diesel costs too? Edit: Also there's the chip shortage and the fuel economy impacts of it. There are a shit ton of Silverados and their engines on the EPA website. How am I supposed to know what is what?

But the question is what can a pickup do that a van of say 2500/3500 cannot do, other than over the bed drop of certain cargo?

    @@anthonyclay6059 100% agree. That transmission has been nothing but trouble, but GM refuses to give it up. I don't understand why, especially since the new Colorado and Canyon are expected to come out with that 2.7 and the 10 speed. The 10 speed has had its teething issues, but many of those have been sorted out by now. The 8 speed is just not adequate when you have a 10 speed at your disposal.

But city mileage was pretty par for the course at like 14-15. And lets not forget that this new engine not only moves a larger/heavier vehicle, but makes like 50hp and 100lb/ft more than comparable trucks from 20 years ago while getting (arguably) better overall fuel economy.
