2019 Chevy Silverado

GM surprises with a new 4cyl 2.7L gas/turbo engine, 310hp/348tq, peak tq down to 1500rpm, peak hp ~5600rpm.

It's another ecoboost like engine. Hopefully GM addressed fuel dilution, carbon buildup, and general reliability questions.

Sounds like it has potential. Lots of new tech.
The flatter torque curve of the T4 should make it a nice work truck that does light loads.

I have a feeling GM is going to make a straight six version of this engine also , if my figures are corect the straight six would be .
465 horses
522 pounds of torque

Its either going to be impressive of an engine in that size vehicle or fall flat on its face. Im eager to see. I hope it works out well. Crazy to think how far we have come in the last 10 and 20 years in engine tech.

I personally think these smaller displacement, buzzy turbo engines will be stepping-stone engines until something better comes along.

With the low RPM torque curve of that big turbo 4 you should be able to keep the rpms pretty low in daily driving.

Have a loaner Silverado with a 6.2L/8A right now and most driving is under 3k rpm for me.

For those who haven't heard, the 3.0L I6 power specs have been leaked.

282 HP, 450 lb/tq

Towing sounds too low at 7,800lbs when Ford is listing their 3.0L at 11,000+

I'm not caring for it much from the pics I've seen either.

Guy at work here got the off road model Looks cool first hand.

I'd rather have that white Ram at the bottom of the hill!

You know that's mine. Good talking again.

tires look kinda small on that, wonder what size they are 31?

275/65R18 is the stock size, so 32's.

Just another useless GM appearance package. Someone here in the building at work bought a 2019 Silverado. IMHO, its the uglist truck on the road. The GMC version looks far and away better.

There is a Chevrolet display at the Nashville home/remodel expo this weekend.
Have a red CC/SB with the blacked out trim, wife liked it I didn't. To be honest she said she liked the black grill, didn't really comment on the whole truck. The list a 3.0L Diesel as an engine option but still now specs.

I will admit, I didn't care for the looks of this truck when I first saw photos of it. But, after seeing one in person, it definitely looks better than it does in pictures posted online..

I still wouldn't buy one. But, it's not a bad looking truck. I would still take the new Sierra over the new Silverado, though..

Ram finally took the #2 market share from Chevrolet on the 2019 first quarter. I guess GM will need to put more cash on the hood. There might be some half ton discount wars.
