What are everyone’s thoughts on what engine and kWh battery size they will use for the PHEV 1500 pickup.

 

2.7L makes sense as its the smallest and lightest.  As well it can be used in the Colorado platform and others. 

 

3.0 diesel would be the most efficient pickup in the world.  This is truly what i hope is happening.  This way it can be cross shared with the tahoe, yukon, escalade.

 

6.2L could share the corvette erays parts?

 

what are your thoughts?

My thoughts are it will be rushed and full of quality control issues.   That said...   It will probably be a 5.3 just like the last one was, the Silverado/Sierra eAssist.

No one knows any details yet.  I have looked online and the link seems like the most informed thing out there.   These are going to be normal body on frame trucks with a battery.

2.7 would be pretty cool though as before you even add electric power the engine already puts out 430 ft.lbs torque.  And like you said, lightest engine choice which makes for a light truck to start with.

This will be a phev.  And the least beneficial engine to invest in is the 5.3.

 

i want it to be the diesel.  But the 2.7L will work in the colarado.  And probably other platforms eventually.

Maybe pull out the design for the hybrid GMT900...

 

I was a tool & diemaker at the Oshawa Truck Plant & we had just completed adding tooling in the Body Shop for the hybrid program when the 'brain trust' (I use that term very loosely) decided to shut us down. That was in 2008. Since then Mary Barracuda has been on a crusade to convert GM to an EV producer building product nobody wants. 

 

Has nobody thought of producing a hybrid in the ensuing 16 years?

they are building phevs half tons.

 

what i want and not sure if it will get built is a 2500 with a 6.6L gas with a PHEV battery.

 

we know we will get the 1500s. And probably only with the 4 cyclinder.  I hope with the 3.0L diesel.  But it wouls probably end up with a pickup with only a 1000 lbs of payload.  Not much more than a sedan.

When I first saw pics of the production Silverado EV, it reminded me of the Avalanche. This week my nephew messaged me saying he'd seen one, 'It looks like an Avalanche...'.

 

Does it have a frame or is it unibody? When the concept drawings came out I said to a friend, 'I bet this is what is going to become of the 1/2 ton market, glorified grocery getters that wont have a box big enough to carry an ATV or pull a PWC on a trailer'. Sucks for those that use a half ton as a truck, but don't need a 3/4 ton.

On your other topic yes the GMC EV vs the Chevy EV truck looks better; there is less avalanche "butress" angle or material.

The only Sierra EV I've seen was on a car hauler going the opposite way on I'75 south of Detroit earlier this month. I just noticed the GMC on the 'grille' panel.

Great points! The 2.7L would certainly help in keeping the weight off and add flexibility in the applications the car would be used in. As for the 3.0 diesel, I can still understand it for efficiency, especially if it could piggy back on some parts from the Tahoe and Escalade—it could do so much while consuming as little fuel as possible.

In respect to the 6.2L application of parts from the Corvette E-Ray could offer some nice performance characteristics to the PHEV 1500. I wonder how they manage to share power and range in that configuration thou. All in all, it seems that both efficiency and sheer performance is set to become important prerequisites for the development of PHEV market in the future. Hope to see what they come up with!

With the ram ev/procharger and scout ev extender specs out.  
 

The 1500 will be like a 1500 hd from years ago.

 

For sure it will have the heavy duty springs with a battery option.  These trucks above are more of a 2500 by default.  It might be necessary to comply with emissions laws; to be a heavier class by spec but still sold a a light duty truck.

Has any of the tech from the GMT900 hybrids been retained from 2009?

Not a member of the auto industry but almost absolutely no.  
 

it was not a successful high volume product.  No one would be producing replacement parts except in rare batches to have just enough replacement parts in stock for repairs.  If anyone makes it.

 

as well the technology has important so much in 15 years not worth it.

 

one thing GM is good at is power train engineering.  I really bet the product in the pipeline is going to be best of breed.  They have kept completely silent about it except they are investing in it.  Therefore one can assume/infer that when announced to the marketplace it will be a marketing buzz.  They know it will generate excitement.

 

2 more years.  Already been waiting for this for 2 or 3 :)

Then again you had a certain CEO w/ a singular EV mindset, while other automakers WERE developing & selling PHEVs.

In my view, the project might feel rushed and could face some quality control challenges.

That said, it’s likely to feature the 5.3L engine, similar to the previous Silverado/Sierra eAssist.

The 2.7L option would be an exciting choice, though. Even before adding electric power, this engine delivers an impressive 430 ft-lbs of torque. Its lighter weight also makes for a more agile truck, which could be a strong selling point.

I actually saw 1 of the old Tahoe hybrids the other day...

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      By mikeyk101 · Posted

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
