AJE OP trapper A Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 10,129 WI - Wisconsin	I'm planning on getting a new truck this year. Chev's 2.7L with the turbo seems popular. Any one have any concerns w/ that motor? I don't plan on pulling a big camper or anything of that size. I see it actually puts out more HP than my current '09 Silverado. Last edited by AJE; 07/04/23 12:16 AM.

I'm no turbo fan (pardon the pun) at all. Not only do they overwork the engine, the turbo gives trouble. Then you have the "lag" when going to throttle. Avoid imo.

The engine can handle the higher RPM, but the automatic transmission suffers the abuse of much higher RPM.

Haven't had any problems with the last 2 3.5 twin turbo ford's yet. Been running turbo charged deisl engine for 30 years working never had a problem with a turbo. I have 22000 hours on my 6bt in my skidder and have not had a problem with it. Clean oil and clean air are a must for turbo charged engines.
