The Chevrolet Silverado is among the most respected and highest-performing platforms inside one of the most competitive segments in the global automotive industry. Our manufacturing partner is often on the cutting edge of pickup truck design and technology. As we wait for the next major leap forward (electric trucks) to arrive, Chevrolet has found a very interesting way to provide incredible performance as well as some of the strongest fuel economy scores in the market. The truck maker has produced several 2023 Chevrolet trucks with high-output turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Let’s take a closer look at why Davis Chevrolet customers should be taking an interest in these platforms.
Turbocharged High-Output Engine Performance Specs
In the earliest days of the automotive industry, pickup trucks needed to be equipped with the most powerful V-6 and V-8 engines available. There were several reasons for this, but mostly it was because trucks had higher gross vehicle weights. Advances in materials and manufacturing techniques have allowed smaller and more efficient power plants to deliver excellent performance. The turbocharged 2.7-litre, dual overhead cam engine with variable valve timing and direct injection is truly a marvel of automotive engineering.
Don’t be fooled by the power plant only offering four cylinders. It can produce up to 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Further helping the truck and its turbocharged high-output engine safe on fuel is the standard eight-speed automatic transmission. There are several factors that can determine a vehicle’s fuel economy scores, including the latest Silverado’s drivetrain. Take a look at what’s possible with the latest Chevy Silverado and its most efficient engine options in the table below:
