2.7L 1500

MSRP on the 2.7L Silverado 1500 truck is around $1,500-$2,500 less, depending on trim level and drive train. Talk to Elm Chevrolet for the best deal.

With the smaller engine, the four cylinder Silverado gets on average three to five more miles pergallon than a V8 Silverado. That may not seem like much but that's anywhere from 75 - 125 extra miles before you have to fill up again. Compare the 2.7L to the Silverado V8 engine:

Depending on the trim level, the Silverado 2.7L can tow anywhere from 8,900 to 9,600 lbs with a ball trailer hitch. That's a few hundred pounds less than the Silverado 1500 in the V8, but change to the fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch, and the 2.7L Silverado can often tow more weight than the V8 option. Take a look at AutoList's excellent guide to towing capacity, and GM Authority's guide to towing capabilities.

Depending on the vehicle configuration, the 2.7L engine gives you a max payload rating between 1,950 and 2,270 pounds. Equal to or exceeding several of the other Silverado 1500 engine options.

Yes it does, as well as the 2 wheel drive option.

The 2.7 liter 4 cylinder Silverado comes in the following trim levels: WT, Custom, LT, RST, Custom Trail Boss, and LT Trail Boss. The 2.7L is not available in the ZR2 off-roading trim, but that doesn't mean you can't take it off-roading. It's also not available in the LTZ or High Country trim.

It's not a wimpy truck. This is the full-sized Silverado you know and love, with a smaller, racier turbo engine. That engine just got a significant increase in torque for the 2023 model year. The Silverado 1500's 2.7L turbo high-output engine gives you 420 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm, 20 percent more than the 2021 model year. The engine's horsepower stays the same at 310 ponies at 5,600 rpm.

Yes it is. The bed size, frame & dimensions are the same as other 2023 Silverado 1500 trucks, only the engine is different. Depending on how much loose change is inside your brother-in-law's couch, you may want to look at the Silverado 2500HD .
