  1. And that oil comes out like a waterfall. Have a deep pan. Ask me how I know. LOL.
  2. I got mine at about 25% off MSRP in October ‘19.
  3. I’ve towed a 3400 lb car on a Uhaul auto transport. Fuel economy dropped to 13-14 mpg. Drove on the interstate and had plenty of power throughout the range and had plenty of passing power.
  4. So I bought my 19 with the 2.7T LT 2WD this last October. I now have 17k miles. I average 19-20 mpg with my daily driving and Uber. I have taken road trips with just passenger payload and luggage and can get 22-24 depending on where I keep my speed. Not long ago, I hauled an 03 CTS on a Uhaul auto transport on the interstate. I still averaged 13-14 mpg going 60-70 mph. Plenty of torque to get the trailer moving and keep it going on the highway. Plenty of power to pass on the highway as well. I thought I had made a mistake going with the turno4, but now that I have put 17k miles on it, I couldn’t be happier. Sometimes I wish I did get the V8, but I remember the reasoning for buying the turbo4. Coming off a 2003 Ram 1500 4.7, this Silverado already outdoes my old truck. So it meets my needs. I don’t haul all the time nor do I off-road.
  5. Same thing. 2019, bought new in Oct ‘19. 17,000 miles and all recalls taken care of. Still have brake pedal feedback when lightly pushing the brake pedal.
  6. I bought my 2019 new back in October. I now have 16K miles on it. Didn’t know if I had made a mistake by not going with the 5.3. After the time I have spent with it, I have towed a 3400 lb car on a uhaul auto transport. Needless to say, the 2.7 was more than capable. I averaged 13-14 on a 3 hour trip driving 60-70 mph on tow/haul mode on the interstate. I can get 22 mpg @ 70-80 mph when driving without a payload. If I keep it at 60-65, I can push 24. City driving I can get 20-21 depending on traffic. Uber puts my truck though a mixture of hwy/cty/idling; when I Uber, I’ll get 17-19 due to longer idling periods. All in all, I don’t have any regrets. It meets my needs and I don’t have to pay the premiums for the V8 or a baby Duramax.
  7. So, I’d like to play devil’s advocate. I have a 19 Silverado 2.7T with nothing more than a high flow stock air filter and premium motor oil (I’ll leave it at that as this discussion will spiral really quick. Lol) I see the dyno charts on the afe website. All the power gains seem to be at RPMs my vehicle will never spend time at (3500-4500). So how would I benefit from something like this? My previous truck had a CAI and exhaust, and I seemed to lose so much on the low end. I ended up going back to an OEM exhaust and gained my bottom end back. I care more about usable power than max power.
  8. I purchased a 19 Silverado LT with the 2.7 turbo 4. I had the same hesitating issue at coming to a stop with 4,000 miles on it. Took it to the dealer, they said it was a transmission sensor. Waiting on said sensor to come in for repair.
