Thank you all for the insights to the 2019 2.7 turbo 4. It's the end of 2022 right now and I was able recently to swap out my latest 2021, 3/4 ton 6.6 gas V8 for a new trail boss with the the high output 2.7 turbo. My trucks have to thrive under varied conditions both on and off road. A month into driving the new 2.7 and I have to say it's impressive. The engine and tranny setup are super smooth and while I miss being able to put 4000 lbs into the truck, I don't miss the clunky drivetrain of the 6.6 3/4 ton. I hope that my research has paid off on the truck with what seems the overwhelming majority of reports being good to excellent for the last 3 years. Love the inline design like a diesel tractor but with better controlled heat and cooling. In 2010, as a backup to my v8s, I picked up an inline 5 cylinder h3t hummer, which is at 300,000+ miles today with only regular maintenance, no major issues and turns 35" tires from pretty much new. It's not as well refined nor does it have the torque of the new 2.7. To me, torque is important in the mix of weight and intended use. Time will tell of course how the new truck will do with all the hills, off road, carrying and towing I do (typically under 7000lbs these days). So far, at only 2000 plus miles, it's been fantastic.
