2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Four-Cylinder First Test: Quicker Than Some V-6s

Your preconceptions about this truck are wrong, OK? The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 proves that four-cylinder engines can make sense in 5,000-pound full-size trucks. After extensive real-world and track testing, we can tell you exactly where the 2020 Silverado 1500 RST and its 2.7-liter turbo-four fit into the truck world.

For all the engine downsizing we’ve seen over the years, a four-cylinder full-size truck has remained unexplored territory in the modern age—until now. Chevy’s 2.7-liter turbo-four’s specs make it look like the V-6 competitor it is, but with one key advantage: The 310-hp 2.7-liter engine has 348 lb-ft of torque available from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm, so you don’t have to work it hard to get a response. And unlike some experiences we’ve had with the Silverado 1500 and its 5.3-liter V-8, the 2.7-liter I-4’s eight-speed automatic is responsive. Very little gear hunting is required, and partially as a result, the cabin might seem quieter than you’d expect.

On the track, our 2020 Silverado 1500 RST tester hit 60 mph in only 7.1 seconds, quicker than the Ford F-150 XL with a 3.3-liter V-6 (7.9 seconds) and a Ram 1500 Tradesman with a 3.6-liter V-6 (7.5 seconds). Our long-term 2018 Ford F-150, with its more powerful and torque-rich 2.7-liter V-6, easily beats the four-cylinder Chevy, reaching 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. Within the Silverado family, a 5.3-liter LT Trail Boss (with the eight-speed automatic) reached 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, and a 4.3-liter-equipped work truck found its way to 60 in 7.2 seconds.

In the real world, the 2020 Silverado RST 2.7’s smooth shifts are a real advantage, the engine stop/start system is relatively smooth, and you never want for more power. You may miss the traditional sound of a naturally aspirated V-8, but that’s about it. At 2020 Truck of the Year testing, the Silverado 2.7’s powertrain met almost universal praise. “This thing pulls like there’s nothing there,” features editor Scott Evans said after testing the Chevy truck with a 4,000-pound trailer. “Anyone who says this engine doesn’t belong in a truck can shut up.” Or, we’d add, just drive it.

Those who do will find an improved truck. It’s still not class-leading, but Chevy loyalists will be slightly happier with the 2020 model. From road test editor Chris Walton: “It drives like a pickup, but better. It heaves over bumps as a single unit, but settles. It’s quiet even with big crosswinds. The steering is medium/light but precise. Brake pedal is medium/light but progressive.”

Fuel economy is a glass-half-empty/glass-half-full situation. Against the six-cylinder Ram 1500, our 2019 Truck of the Year, the Silverado 2.7 is slightly less efficient (19–20/22–23 for the Chevy, 19–20/24–25 for the Ram). If you were comparing the Silverado 2.7 to the 4.3- and 5.3-liter Silverado engines, you’d get better fuel economy with the 2.7 and spend more miles on the road before needing to refuel.

That’s a great advantage, but the 2020 Silverado 2.7’s value quotient depends on the trim you’re considering. You’ll find the 2.7-liter engine as an option on the WT, Custom, LT, and RST trims. On those first two entry-level trucks, the 2.7-liter turbo-four is a premium of over $1,000 above the 4.3-liter V-6 and just about even with the 5.3-liter V-8. Move to the LT or RST trims, however, and that four-cylinder engine could save you $1,395. Go for the four-cylinder Silverado, and towing capacity is 6,600–7,000 pounds, down from the 5.3-liter V-8’s 9,400–11,600 pounds. This all assumes you’re only considering the Silverado.

Widen the search beyond the Silverado, and that Ram 1500 looks mighty tempting. Just one year after its full redesign, we’re still unimpressed by the 2020 Silverado’s interior, which was panned at 2020 Truck of the Year testing for uncomfortable front seats, uninspiring interior materials, and what struck some editors as a generally ordinary design compared to the Ram at similar equipment levels. That Ram rides well (with or without the available air suspension), has similar fuel economy, and performs better in IIHS safety tests. Clearly, we’re still fans of the overall Ram 1500 lineup, but if your new truck search starts and ends with the Silverado, consider the 2.7 before you sign for a Silverado 5.3.

Senior features editor Jonny Lieberman encapsulates our feelings on the Silverado 1500 2.7 and excellent Duramax diesel: “[These are] perfectly ordinary trucks with great powertrains.”

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is Going Desert Racing

Bow-Tie truckers, start your engines—The Silverado follows the Colorado ZR2 into the Best in the Desert Racing Series that kicks off at the Laughlin Desert Classic today.

Chevy’s Silverado race truck is based off of a LT Trail Boss truck and will compete in Desert’s 1200 Stock class. It packs a 6.2-liter V-8 that’s good for 420 horsepower. The engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

  The race truck sports a long-travel suspension, front and rear jounce shocks, and a set of prototype high-capacity Multimatic Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve (DSSV) off-road dampers lifted from the ZR2 racer. Other racing bits include rear shock skids, transfer case skid plates, as well as plates for the steering gear, rear differential, and front underbody. It all rolls on beefy 35-inch off-road rubber.

The Silverado and Colorado ZR2 driven by Frank D’Angelo can be seen at the Laughlin Desert Classic at the Tropicana Laughlin Hotel and Casino in Nevada. Chevrolet plans on racing both trucks in all the Desert races in 2020 and it’s a safe bet that we’ll see these beasts up close at SEMA next month.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Midnight, Rally Editions Debut in Texas

Special editions have proven to be pretty popular among Silverado buyers, and with a new generation already rolling on the streets, Chevy is bringing back the popular Midnight and Rally editions to the 2020 Silverado 1500. The trucks were shown for the first time at the State Fair of Texas, and they both add dark treatments for those who want their truck to stand out.

The 2020 Silverado 1500 Midnight Edition is offered on the LT Trail Boss and Custom Trail Boss trims, and brings a more rugged appearance to the off-road-focused truck. As its name suggests, the Midnight Edition features an all-black theme, with black 18-inch wheels, badges, grille, bumpers, exhaust tips, steps, and the legendary bowtie. The recovery hooks are untouched, and they are distinguished by their bright red color.

The LT Trail Boss Midnight Edition is powered exclusively by a 6.2-liter V-8 engine that produces 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque and is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. This trim can also be distinguished by its high-intensity LED headlamps with dark bezels and daytime running lights. The Silverado 1500 Custom Trail Boss Midnight Edition is available with either the 5.3-liter V-8 engine and the six-speed automatic or the 6.2-liter V-8 with the 10-speed.

The Silverado 1500 Rally Edition (pictured at top of article in white) was made for those who want an urban look. The special edition is offered on the Custom and RST trims and is available in Black, Red Hot, Silver Ice Metallic, or Summit White exterior paint. Similar to the Silverado RST, the Rally Edition keeps the body-colored grille, but adds black stripes on the hood and tailgate, black badging, black bowties, black exhaust tips, black assist steps, and black Chevrolet lettering on the tailgate. To differentiate the two trims, the RST Rally Edition includes black 22-inch wheels, while the Custom Rally Edition rides on black 20-inch wheels.

Both Rally editions can be had with the 2.7-liter turbo-four engine mated to an eight-speed automatic, but the RST Rally Edition can also be powered by the 5.3-liter V-8 or the 6.2-liter V-8.

The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado Midnight and Rally editions will be available to order next month and will begin to arrive at dealerships later this year. Pricing will be announced at a later date.
