Chevy 2.7 turbo 1500 truck.
Out of sheer curiosity I watched a video of the 2.7 turbo 4 cylinder Chevy 1500 truck being tested towing a trailer. I was surprised to hear them say that they thought it towed as god as the 6.2 lite...

"I'm not paying $50k for a truck with 1/2 an engine"
:B haha
Here's something to ponder....
That 2.7L 4 cyl has 310 hp and 348 tq. Many here on these forums praise GM's 6.0L V8, which, until recently, was the top gas engine in their 2500 and 3500 trucks. And it had a whopping 300hp and 360tq until a few years back. Then they increased it to what 360hp/380tq? Still not that far off. Just goes to show how far we've come. Think about the big, powerful vortec 7.4L (454) in the 2500 and 3500 trucks a few years back. What did that have 290hp? Pretty amazing for the 2.7L. And really, for 90% of pickup buyers where I live, that engine would be plenty.
