New here currently driving a 2017 Colorado 2.5L I4 going to test drive the new Silverado with the 2.7L turbo Saturday. I’ve driven the 5.3L v8 already really liked it looking at a 2.7L RST all star edition double cab. From what I’ve seen on the reviews people seem to like this engine. Does it feel week at all during take offs or anything thanks.

I went from a Trifecta tuned 2.5L 6 speed manual 2015 Colorado to my 2.7L RST. They are night and day different.

 

It has the torque curve of a diesel and pulls like one from down low riding on turbo boost. It doesn't need to be wound out like the 2.5 to make its power, and in fact it doesn't exactly want to rev.

Mine is an auto and I do agree it seems power happy in the higher rpm range. No tune on mine as of right now. But I’m going 930am tomorrow to look at the RST all star 2.7L turbo Silverado if I like it and we can make a deal I will drive it home. But for some reason the local Chevy dealerships want to pay cheap for the Colorado but the competing brand dealerships wanna pay around KBB value for it so depends on what they will give me for the Colorado I want at least $3,000-$4000 of equity out of it and according to kbb it should be easy to get but hasn’t been with Chevy so will see if I get it I will defiantly let you guys know

I will keep my fingers crossed for you! I got pretty close to KBB for mine, which I was surprised at - particularly since it was an absurdly rare manual trans equipped truck. I figured they would nail me on it but they didn't. They complained more about my 20% tint than they did the clutch pedal.

 

Mine was a 2015 2WD WT Extended Cab with every option except the appearance package and 75K miles and I got $11,500 for it, IIRC. CSX owned it before me, and there was some rail dust in the paint, a couple of dents in the tailgate and a healthy ding in the driver's rear door.

Out of curiosity do folks think you can get a better deal on a 2.7 powered truck vs the 5.3, there is almost 2/1 ratio of 5.3 trucks vs the 2.7 so I am thinking they may be more inclined to try to move all of the 5.3 versions.

here in the Houston area, there are much larger discounts on the 2.7L vs the 5.3L. i suspect demand is higher on the 5.3s since the 2.7 is a new and untried engine, not to mention the majority of the truck crowd that can't fathom driving a 4 cyl. full size truck *rolls eyes* . works in my favor since i was in the market for a fuel efficient pickup and the mid-sizers all lacked a front 60/40/60 bench. i bought my new '19 2.7L 4x4 CC LT for $34,1XX down from $48,4xx. plenty of mula left over for accessories.

I’m hoping to get KBB out of it if I do I will be in the 2.7L Silverado already have the price worked out on the RST all star trim just gotta go drive it and let them evaluate my trade. Thanks hopefully it will work out if.l not I will stay in my Colorado it’s a 2017 with 13900 miles on it lol not like I need a new truck just really like the new Silverados and the tech in them.

Didn’t say they didn’t have them but the discounts are larger on the 2.7L trucks

It's hard to discount something that doesn't exist. They're not that prevalent out, yet.

 

Mine was #2 for my dealer - right behind their demo, which sold the day after I drove it and ordered my truck.

Interesting I got my 5.3 cheaper than the 2.7. What I did i sent an email for all the dealership within 200miles and told them what is the minimum requirements and that I am not willing to pay more for extra features I did not need half the features on my truck but I got cheaper than the one without. Like 5.3 and Z71

Well looks like I’m on this forum to stay but I didn’t get the 2.7L turbo they sold it yesterday. I ended up with a 5.3L V8 Silverado double cab LT Texas edition.

thanks everyone for the input

You're better off than getting a Subaru on steroids.

Tune that thing to spool up earlier and run more boost and it will be so fun to drive!

It's already at 375 kPa (54 psi). Indy car territory. I'm thinking it's tapping out as is. 

If you look at the boost curve it's on the limiter from the hit.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
