Here’s my take on the 2.7L: I work for a GM dealership so have the pleasure of being able to drive all the engine choices back to back. 2.7L is a surprise, it’s a jack of all trades, master of none type engine. It does everything well. If you couldn’t hear the engine you’d mistake it for the 5.3L makes surprising low end torque, excellent fuel economy and minimal cabin noise while cruising. If you’re not pulling heavy or towing quite frequently and are like most that just need a car with a pickup bed. This motor will really surprise you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
