Looked at new trucks yesterday because I was on dealership row for another mission. One local dealer has some 2022 Silverado Custom Crew Cab Short Bed with the 2.7 engine. They are possibly(?) a good deal, I think though because the 2.7 is less preferred.
Towing capacity is 9000# though, which would be a decent increase from whatever I actually have in the Trailblazer now. Mostly I am thinking about getting deeper into the travel trailer game.
Their inventory doesn't have the NHT rpo, which includes additional transmission and engine oil coolers. Actually the chart says the 2.7 does not come with NHT in any cab/bed configuration.
Obvs the 5.3 has a lot of history. And you can get the 5.3 with NHT, but the only inventory within 500 miles with NHT is the 6.2. 6.2 + NHT + 20-inch wheels delivers the max 13,300# towing. Not that I need that much.
Anyway, it looks like the 2.7 is only a few years old, looks like it got some updates for 2022, just wondering if anyone has any experience with it.
Thanks.
