Our 2019 is currently sitting at 98k miles and climbing; all I've done is routine maintenance and spark plugs. Still drives great. I'm thinking I might need to throw some rear shocks on it, as I've done a LOT of towing. I was looking around online for the 100k service and it led me to this thread

When I first drove the 2.7T, I was not sold. Had it in my head that there was no way that a 4 cylinder belongs in a half ton. I originally wanted a 6.2, but didn't have 6.2 money. I didn't want anything to do with the 5.3L due to the junk lifters. I researched the 2.7 more and more and decided to drive one for a second time. I came away from that feeling slightly better, but didn't like the way that truck was optioned (LT, Gray paint, Cloth, no hitch receiver). Eventually, I found a used 2019 optioned just about how I wanted it: 2.7T, 4x4, G80 Locker, Tow package, Heated cloth and steering wheel, etc with 16k Miles. We test drove it, and made the decision. We traded in her 2016 Trax and my 2015 Chrysler 200 in on it. Fast forward to today, this truck has become a part of the family. It towed a 26ft camper from Ohio to Southern Utah, then Utah to Oregon. It towed a 1995 Range Rover and a bed full of belongings from Ohio to Utah. It's been back and forth between Ohio and Utah no less than six times, We've driven it through downtown LA, Las Vegas, through the Escalante Desert, the Arizona Strip, the highlands of Nevada, down the Oregon Coast, on the beach...all with the much maligned 4 cylinder. It just turned 62k miles. Issues: We had the EVAP Purge pump replaced under warranty. Also, ONLY when towing heavy (the camper and Range Rover on a trailer), it consumes a little oil. That's it.

I did a great deal of research before we bought our 2019 with the 2.7T. Drove three separate trucks before I was convinced. Purchased in December of 2020 with 16k miles on the odometer, now sitting at something like 38k. Zero problems. Hauled a 24ft Jayco White Hawk from Ohio to Utah with a nasty headwind with no problem. Then, towed a 1995 Range Rover on a dolly from Ohio to Utah with no issue. A few months prior, it hauled the same Range Rover on a 2200lb trailer with no issue after someone stole the catalytic converters. It tows and handles just as well as the 2003 Quadrasteer Silverado that it replaced. A little better, in fact, because it's got more than 4 gears and doesn't scream like a stuck pig in second gear at the sight of any sort of hill. I am in no way shocked at the shortsightedness of most of the people here. "IF IT AINT GOT A V8 IT AINT A TRUCK" Yeah, ok.

I got this message in my 2019 2.7T last week when it was -25 where I was in Iowa.
