New 2.7L Turbo And 3.0L Duramax Engines Bring Impressive Power, Fuel Economy, And Towing Capacity
3.0L Duramax Engines and 2.7L Turbo Deliver Impressive Power, Fuel Efficiency, And Towing Capacity.
The Chevrolet Silverado offers two incredible engine options that deliver fantastic performance even when towing! Today, we'll look at the 2.7L turbo engines and General Motors' 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel.
"We engineered the Silverado with the 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel to deliver both performance and efficiency," said Tim Herrick, executive chief engineer for Silverado. The recommended highway fuel efficiency for the Duramax engine from GM is close to 7.1 L/100 km. A ten-speed automatic transmission enables efficient operation and quick response. The Duramax shows that high efficiency doesn't have to mean compromising power because it generates 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. When coupled with four-wheel drive, you can tow up to 9,300 lbs!
For greater quality and longevity, the 3.0L Duramax engine from GM is balanced and made of strong materials including forged steel, aluminum, and iron. When your car stops, you may save more fuel by using driver-selectable stop/start technology while Active Thermal Management warms up components for more effective operation. With all of this in mind, it's easy to see why the Chevy Silverado, when equipped with a 3.0L Turbo-Diesel, is one of the most economical pickup trucks ever made!
Do you not like diesel engines? Consider the innovative 2.7 L turbo engine! This engine took over as the standard engine for the Silverado LT and Silverado RST, replacing the 4.3L V6 engine from GM. This four-cylinder engine's 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque set it apart from standard four-cylinder engines. Your Silverado can reach 100 km/hr in around 7 seconds thanks to the turbo engine, which was designed specifically for trucks and saves 380 lbs of weight compared to the previous standard V6. For increased efficiency, the 2.7L turbo from GM incorporates stop/start technology, active fuel management, and active thermal management. With this engine, a Chevy Silverado might get close to 10L/100km in highway fuel efficiency. You may also tow up to 7,200 pounds!
