Anyone have the new 2.7 turbo in GM's full size trucks ?

That's from my new Silverado RST 4 door 4x4 I bought back in September. Its a long stroke 4cyl and it is a lot of power for its size especially with its broad high torque curve. On your car you might want to change the oil a few times soon to clean it out and then use a good synthetic oil and it will be ok for 5 to 6k oil changes. 27mi a gallon for my truck that weighs 3.5 tons is pretty dang good. lots of engineering went into this engine.          

I always thought there was no replacement for displacement but this might do it.

Jim,
Something you’d relate to is the engine (largely designed by Lindberg) is the P-38 engine(s) 65# of boost from both a supercharger and turbocharger. They had displacement and tremendous boost. 
Displacement has historically been used to raise torque. Long stroke has raised torque. Long stroke plus boost really raises torque - just look at that torque chart!! Turbocharging long stroked engines can generate a lot more torque with  less fuel that non-boosted , large displacement engines. Richard - even 348’s, 409’s and 427’s and 6.2s and 6.8s. 
‘That turbo charged 2.2L , 146 hp Chrysler 4-cyl engine actually proved to be more durable than the long lived non-aspirated 2.2 (a totally different engine, different everything, bore , stroke, etc). This was in the middle 80s and needed to be idle’d before shutting off. 
‘There are no non-turbo’d BMWs, and many other brands have few non-turbo’d engines left. Turbos are the future until electrics take over. Toyota is a  hold out as has the Honda Ridgeline. Since we try to keep every vehicle 200K and I do all our mechanic work, I’ve stayed simple (V-6 Lexus and Ridgeline). I can still work on them. 

Ford’s 2.7 and 3.5 Econoboost engines have served well according to friends here. I expect this much more modern GM engine to be a step up, especially fuel-wise(needs to be).

Can you tell, I’m kind of envious of YankeeReb ? Only 148K to go until I can get another truck!

sew, it does impress me the improved technology today on the engines. I thought in the late 1970s that horsepower was a declining or almost a dead thing. Now 700 plus horsepower from the factory on some cars. I guess Cher had it right, cars keep going faster all the time.

A lot of work went into that 2.7L, there are some motorcycle engines not too far off that size.

Richard, I'm a retired mechanic and overhauled lots of engines myself and loved GM small blocks. The technology in this engine gave me big wood so I had to have it.

YankeeRob,
Big thanks for the post. I’m a mpg guy and got excited about your mileage. Did my research on the 2.7, but ended up with the 1500 RST Z71 turbo diesel . Had the Ford 150 Fx4 2.7 turbo, with larger tires 33x12.50. I got around 20 hwy, 17 city. After all the research I found the truck I wanted in NC. My ford did the 223 miles from East TN at 19.9 mpg but 40 isn’t flat, a lot of ups and downs. From the Chevy dealer to my house in the diesel I got 29.2 mpg. Love the truck love the mileage even more. If it wasn’t for your post I’d still be getting 19.9 mpg not 29.2.

If anyone is shy of this 2.7 turbo engine? GM just raised the towing capacity by 2500lbs, its now rated higher than the Duramax 3.0 diesel.
