Yeah ok, but what's the fuel consumption like? Guaranteed it sucks more gas than the V8.

It’s not bad at all, love hear more of your personal experiences with it OP, be careful adding to much to soon, you may take HP or torque away from it doing engine add ons.

Naaaaah, those numbers are too low. Not my experience with the Vortec 5.3 or the Ecotec.

Towing is capped below 7,000?!

Hard pass. Modern half tons are up around 10,000 or above.

Best of luck to you, hope you don't try to haul too much with it. That turbo has to be screaming to get those numbers.

To be fair, the L84 really is just an L83 with that autostart nonsense. All that does is burn your starter out and put more load on the battery.

I can’t stand that damn auto stop start crap, my wife’s new X5 has it and it freaks me out too. And this is one of the reasons why I’m staying in my 18 for a few extra years to come, as long as it behaves lol. Sorry OP, good luck and do keep us posted

Autoshart, as I call it, is a curse from the EPA.

Make sure you feed your hamsters good sunflower seeds OP.

V8 owners dogs the new 2.7 turbo. Before my current 2019 Silverado crew cab RST with the hated 4 cylinder, I owned a 2010 Silverado double cab 5.3 6 speed with intake, exhaust and edge tuner. Performance wise compared to my current truck the 5.3 does have a bit more off the line power, otherwise feels very the same as far as accelerating. Before deciding with the 2.7 I drove the new v8 5.3, v6 4.3, then lastly the 4 cylinder. Keep in mind that I was very skeptical as 99% of owners here. The 5.3 felt right, v6 was just straight crap and the 2.7 surprised me. For my purpose of using the truck which is a grocery getter, family hauler, trash hauler and just to have a vehicle to load anything big and the fact that I will probably never pull anything, it just didnt justify the extra $$$ to go with the v8. My first test was when I hauled atleast 1200# of trash to the dump site, besides putting a bit more pressure on the brakes, this small motor handled it really well to were I almost couldnt tell that the bed was loaded. Fuel mileage wise it does exceed my girlfriend's 2016 lexus nx200t which is probably half the weight with my averaging 20mpg to her 18mpg. My old 2010 silverado was lucky to see 15mpg especially with all the stop and go traffic and short distance freeways we have here in Hawaii. From my personal usage, to the great price I got and the cool whistle of the turbo and surprising power I'm glad I got this one.

More power to you, that’s a great point you’ve made. It takes all kinds to be satisfied, keep enjoying it.

For light usage like you stated, it's probably fine.

For me, I yank an occasional stump, I pull a 8,000 pound loaded trailer, and in Florida we have Hurricane season. Whole oaks may fall and block the road. You can either wait for someone to cut it up and move it, cut it yourself, or drag it out of the way.

In the last 4 years, I've done a lot of dragging.

If you buy a pickup for regular heavy work or even the prospect of it, this go-cart motor ain't gonna cut your mustard.

My 1993 Single cab short bed has more towing capacity.

I will never support farting in the wind to stop a tornado.

Yes, now this is were a 4 cylinder will probably have its downfall, if your going to haul heavy ass loads and tow something heavy. If I were doing any type of heavy labor, I'd absolutely go with a 6.2 or diesel, if not a 2500.

Not even, I wouldn't go to a 2500 unless I regularly had a load to pull.

A V8 1500 even without max trailer package can do 9,000. That's more what I'd expect buying a 1500. What was the out the door price? I can almost guarantee you didn't save any money picking that engine.

Your turbo is gonna be screaming wide open, you'll be sucking down fuel, I'm getting 23 mpg on a V8. No V4, it's disabled. What is a 4 cylinder turbo engine saving you? Turbo bearings go south, bam. Need a new turbo. The V8s have their own issues, but they are manageable and easily mitigated.

Y'all on the other hand are in no man's land.
