2022 Chevy Silverado 2.7L Turbo 4 VS 5.3L V8 MPG Run! Don't Buy until You Watch First!

I still own a 8 cilinders truck at this moment and I just bought the 2022 Silverado 4 cilinder turbo 2.7L 2wd I live in Los Ángeles I am a truck person always so this time was hard to go for a 4 cilinder but due to the gas prices I finally got it!! big surprise I just hear all my coworkers crying 😭 every week over the gas. If you live on the city and deal with traffic this Chevy 2.7L is a blessed 🥰

Just recently bought a 2022 Blue Chevy Silverado Custom like in the video more stripped down for under 40,000. I was more interested in a fuel efficient vehicle but price outweighed the importance of gas so I got the 4 cylinder 2.7 L turbo. I'm happy with my purchase I'm glad that I got the 4 cylinder. Thanks for the review I've been looking for a video of the new 2022 Silverado.

MythBusters did a test on pickups with tailgate up, down and with a canopy. The tailgate up got the best MPG. They found the wind hits the tailgate, swirls forward and actually pushed forward helping the fuel economy.

2021 Silverado Custom 2.7 here. 52k miles and am still in love with this truck. “B” trip monitor has been running for 50k and is showing 19.7mpg. When I reset the “A” monitor and drive somewhat responsibly it’ll read over 25+mpg on the highway.

Ordered a Silverado with a 5.3 V8 in February. This video just reassures me that I made the right choice. Great video, thanks for sharing.

I’m ready to try that 4cyl turbo in the Colorado and see how it does. I had the 2.8 diesel and loved it that torque was amazing. Drove from Missouri to Florida and back in my 21 Tahoe 5.3 10 speed and the computer said 22 average all highway at about 75-80.

yo bro thx for this side by side comparison it was much needed

My 1999 Z71 5.3 4x4 extra cab also got `17mpg' lol. Good content keep it up.

Good points! I love my single cab work truck with the 5.3l Plenty of power, sounds terrific (thanks Flowmaster) and should run forever.

A turbo 4 banger with 430 lb torque. I will be getting the custom trailboss with the 2.7 turbo. I enjoyed the low end torque compared to the 5.3.

I think the thing I would do to make this more accurate would be to go for a long drive in both from a full tank..at least 100 miles or so or if possible, a full tank of each, with the same size fuel tank obviously which I I would assume these have. Then hand calculate once you fill the tanks back up.

I agree with your assessment. Plus, the 8cyl has a pretty good track record. The 4 cyl turbo has yet to make a name for itself as it's only been available for a short while. "Time will tell".

JB these trucks now a days are super over priced I paid 34k out the door for my 2019 silverado 1500 LT with a 5.3 liter and that black truck is over 57k that's insane

This was a really good review. I have a 2018 Silverado 1500 5.3 with a six speed. I consistently get 20-21 measured highway with the engine fully broken in. City is right around 15. It was really good to see the comparison.

Nice review! Thanks, wish you would’ve taken the 4 cyl up a few hills and down. I got a 4 banger Colorado and after buying it realized my transmission will fail at some point if I’m on hills too much. Money saved will go to repairs. Anyhow I should’ve gotten a stinger engine and transmission. Regretting it now. That’s why I’m looking at something stronger and figure what I spend in fuel I’ll save on repairs

When the yellow light is on for the auto start/stop that means it is bypassed so it will not shut off at stops. At least as for as i have seen. Cool video thanks for sharing.

I bought a 22’ 5.3L 1500 RST and I regularly get ~17-20mpg on the highway. Best I’ve gotten is around 24mpg in an ideal scenario. My first truck ever and I love it. Sure gas is expensive, but I knew that getting into the game so I’m not going to cry about it. It seems to me people need to learn to adjust some of their unrealistic expectations. Great video!

Good video guy. I’m actually considering purchasing a 1500 with the 4cyl. 2 wheel drive Custom, double cab, Standard bed. My reasons are more cost related than fuel mileage. Besides I still can’t wrap my head around a 4cyl in a half ton truck. But I have driven one and it’s quite impressive. Just retired and not looking to have a huge note. But I enjoyed your video. Thanks.

I recently purchased a 22 Silverado Trail Boss with the 2.7L Turbo and I love it. I was leery about not getting the V8 but after driving the 4 I was sold. I have towed a 6000lb boat and it tows just as good as my last tundra 5.7. I get pretty decent mileage at 18 mixed (lead foot). The only complaint I could try to make is that its quiet and I miss the V8 rumble. It has plenty of torque and will merge or pass just as well as any V8 truck out there. No complaints here. Any one worried about the small motor should try it out and drive it for awhile it might change your mind. I only have 5k miles on mine so I can't speak to longevity, but I think it will be just fine.

I like your advise on quality of fuel Sir that plays a critical role in fuel mileage I am a believer in that .
