Rugged, reliable, but also refined, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 isn’t just a truck perfectly crafted for the worksite. The 2022 Sierra 1500 can be luxuriously outfitted as well, making those long days on site that much more comfortable. In this modern day with light-duty pickups featuring near endless choices of trim levels, engines, interior comforts, and more, the reality is that if you’re in the market to buy a truck, surely there will be a perfect combination of features out there for your specific taste. Both power and capability represent a huge category, with 4 different engine options to choose from, including the powerful, yet efficient, Enhanced Turbo High-Output 2.7 L engine. The 2.7 L slots in as the Sierra 1500’s standard engine, with multiple degrees of power upgrades down the line. If you’re looking for a workhorse, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 can be an absolute beast, maxing out at 420 horses and 460 lb-ft of torque. However, that kind of power isn’t for everyone. Since our experts over here at Gus Brown Port Perry absolutely love the Sierra’s standard engine, read along as we highlight the 2.7 L High-Output Turbo engine.

Performance and Capability

Tweaked for 2022, the 2.7 L Enhanced Turbo-Output engine is a fantastic option for many potential owners. With 20% more torque than the previously offered 2.7 L Turbo. Paired with an 8-speed automatic for a smooth and easy drive, the 2.7 L Turbo helps you confidently hit the road. As of now, the fuel efficiency for the 2.7 L is estimated at 13.9/12.0 L/100km (city/hwy).

Engineering and Applications

Originally debuting in 2019 in GM vehicles including the GMC Sierra 1500, the Chevy Silverado, and Cadillac CT4, this engine was developed from its conception to be a truck engine. The Turbocharged 2.7 L delivers strong, low-end torque, consistently with the durability and reliability that is demanded from high-calibre pickup engines. Rigorously tested, the 2.7 L engine inspires confidence as it tackles the challenging situations and environments trucks often see, with ease.
