Which Silverado Engine Is Best? Let's Find Out!

Today I compare all of the engine options available in the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. This is a comparison of the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 3.0L Duramax, 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 2.7L Turbo, 2023 Chevy Silverado 5.3L V8, and 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 6.2L V8!

I don’t doubt the 2.7 is a good engine, but the fact they put a four-cylinder in a full-size pick up truck just doesn’t sound right imo

Great comparison video Ben! Also, thanks for showing us the payload and towing stickers. Please do that in all your videos with vehicles able to tow. Thanks!

5k miles in on my 2023 LZ0 Duramax. It has been absolutely fantastic. I live in Colorado, and that turbo diesel is the way to go to maintain power at elevation. It tows amazingly in the high country, and the fuel economy is otherworldly for a full size

Hi Ben, big fan of your channel. Here’s a suggestion for a in the future, down the road video. Re-do this comparison test with all four power train options and give a update of j h ow they aged in feel, drive ability, and mileage. Plus see if you can determine how each power train held up and their costs. Just a thought…..

I drive a Denali Duramax with the LML. I've had an LLY previously. I live at 5600 feet. love the power of the Duramax. I also am building a 37 Chev PU with an LT!/L83. and a 6L80E. It'll be interesting to see what it does in the mountains.

Also, I currently own a 22.5 AT4 refresh in which the 3.0l is the base option with the 6.2l being the upgrade. But with the lifter issues... I'm good.

Good video/comparison Ben. I've told you since day 1, I'd get the ZR2. I'm still waiting for the right time but when it's that time, I'll be getting a ZR2 w/that 6.2L man and I can't wait.

I test drove a 2022 with the 3.0 Duramax right after I bought a 2017 with the 6.2 and I'm here to tell you that 6.2 torque feels alot like the diesel, loving the gasser.

Awesome video this helped me decide on which size pickup I'm going with, thanks for the video review.

I have A 5.3 Tahoe pulling a 19’ bass boat, and have just upgraded to a 6.2 Denali Yukon with Cat back exhaust. Have to say the extra HP is appreciated ! And the sound is GREAT!

I have the 3.0 in my 2022 GMC Sierra (refresh) AT4. Have under 7k miles and I average 28-30 on the highway. My best 50 mile range is 34.4 mpg!!! Was going to get the 6.2 but during production they ran out of inventory so I chose the 3.0 diesel; great choice. Love this engine!!

Ben remember these trucks run on different fuel. Diesel better mileage but higher fuel cost. 6.2 premium 5.3 87 octane and 2.7 regular octane. More YouTubers need to explain this to people

[RimRig_AZ]

I'm a MOPAR guy but have always loved that 6.2. She's a beast and would be my first and last choice.

[bobgrayson]

I have a 2018 5.3 and couldn't be any happier with this truck

[stevepouliot]

6.2 all day long, got one in my 22 Denali and absolutely love it, my second choice would be that Duramax my buddy has one in a Trail Boss and is getting 30.4 mpg and he loves his

Bought a 22 Silverado and got the 6.2 and I couldn't be happier. I was tempted by the diesel but I love it

[chrislowe]

Good review when I first thought of a new 22 Silverado I thought of getting the 2.7 after having 2 previous 5.3 but the fuel economy wasn't really any better than the 5.3. In Canada the 5.3 is about $2k over the 2.7, the 3.0 is about $700 more than the 5.3 but if you factor in that it comes with a block heater which is a $195 option on both the 2.7 and 5.3, $500 more is a no brainer to get the 3.0. My 22 order was never picked up but got a 23 with the LZ0 time will tell if it's as trouble free as my previous 5.3' s were but agree it's probably the best all around power train in a half ton pickup right now.

[applianceman]

I’m gonna go for the 6.2 because of its remarkable performance and sound!!

[WilliamComartin]

I love my 6.2L Silverado, The power is unreal compared to my old 2014 5.3L

[toddsullivan]

I bought the Duramax end of May, and it's the best at towing, and I averaged 24 mpg hwy/city last tank. Obviously it goes down when towing, but it's still way better than gas!
