The impressive 2.7-litre turbocharged inline four is a hidden secret of Chevrolet and GMC trucks

Introduced back in 2019, the impressive turbocharged 2.7-litre inline four powertrain found on the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado is one of the best-kept secrets of the truck industry. It is also one of the most efficient engines you can put in your pickup while also delivering remarkable performance and exceptional towing capability. The engine was introduced as a replacement for the previous V-6 powertrain and it serves as the entry-level engine in the 2022 Sierra and 2022 Silverado lineups. Unlike the entry-level V-6 engines in the Ford F-150 or Ram 1500, the 2.7-litre four-cylinder isn't just there to make GM trucks more affordable. It is an engine that was designed for the needs of truck buyers and it delivers on all fronts.


Impressive torque and towing capability from the GM 2.7-litre turbo

 

The powertrain received a significant update in 2022 when GM refreshed the Silverado and Sierra lineups. The engine received a higher-output turbo which means higher levels of torque, increasing from 348 pound-feet to 420 pound-feet specifically. The engine now delivers 430 pound-feet of torque, which is 22% more torque than the 4.3-litre V-6 produced in the past.

 

This engine delivers more torque than the 5.3-litre EcoTec V-8 and nearly as much torque as the 6.2-litre V-8 and the Duramax 3.0-litre turbo-diesel. It delivers an impressive 9,400 pounds of towing capacity, and exceptional fuel economy to go along with it.

 

Every engine in the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado lineups stand out and they each serve different purposes. If you are in the market for a refined and powerful engine that is also affordable and delivers great fuel economy while also giving you the towing capability you need, the impressive 2.7-litre turbocharged four-cylinder is perfect for you.
