Reg shorty is still 2.7 only for 2023.

Well i hate that.  I like the looks of the regular cab Sierra over the regular cab F150, but not sold yet on the 2.7.

If you can look past the "4 cylinder sounds", it makes some sweet turbo noises and is a ballsy engine.  If you haven't driven one, you should at least try one.  A full crew cab short box moves very well with it under the hood.  A regular cab should move even better.    

 

I took a used 2019 home from work, my 32 mile round trip I pulled 22.7mpg.  That was 65mph most of the way home, 70-75mph going to work the next morning.

I've driven 3 of the 2.7 crewcabs. I currently drive a supercrew f150 2.7 and it feels a lot stronger to me. The regular cab should perform a little better though...

A single turbo 4 cylinder is GM's, your ford is a V6 and has two turbo's.  That's why you feel a difference.

And dont forget the Ford is a V6 and the Ford also give you 10A with everything , even their base NA 3.3 XL models get the 10A

Are dealers excepting 2023 Silverado 1500 orders?


2023 is in their system. I don't know if they're accepting them yet, but I bet they'd let you build it out, and put the order in as soon as they can, if you're willing to wait.

I know it's in their system, because my dealer was on 2023 by accident. I'm ordering a Silver Ice and he told me that color is discontinued, so he was building it out in the new Sterling Gray (coming out next year). Halfway through the build, he realized he was on 2023 and when he switched back to 2022 he was able to select the Silver Ice again. This wasn't the normal sales guy, but the guy who puts the orders in to GM.

I’m also interested in a 2wd regular cab. It’s a toss up now between Ford’s base 3.3. Or Chevy’s 2.7. I know if I stay out of the turbo I’ll likely outperform expected mpg with the 2.7. I always beat epa mpg estimates. A couple things Ford has going for it is dual injection and the 10 speed transmission. I’ve heard a lot of bad stuff about the 8speed. I know that I’ll love the torque of the turbo though.

The GMC Dealership I ordered from now has jumped up to 20 refreshed Sierras in their inventory from just less than a handful since the start. Out of all of them only 1 was US assembled which I found interesting. The other 19 all Mexico. Wondering if some kind of transport or production issue as the US 1 had been stuck "in transit" for a month. 🤔

 

The US production started later than Mexico, but seems like there would be more out there by now.

It seems like the Sierras have a higher percentage of 3 VINs. I've seen a couple of Denali Ultimates with 1 VINs, most SLTs and AT4s I've seen so far are 3 VIN though. The Silverados seem to have a higher percentage of 1 VINs for whatever reason.

    • Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas
    • Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?
    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit. 
    • Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that? 
    • What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way too big headlights (similar to a previous non-Wrangler SUV) should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crossing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
