    ^ That is actually really sad...
  2. ccap41
    Wow, that would have been a perfect base engine!

    GM has the 5.3 to compete with the Ford 2.7.
  4. ccap41
    For whatever it is worth the Ford 2.7 redlines at 5750rpm and the 2.3 in the Explorer redlines at 6000rpm. Yep, like most small turbo motors seem to be getting in the real world.

    i see there being zero chance this is a high revving engine with how low it makes its peak torque. "is available from as low as 1500 rpm and continues to 4000 revs." My best guess would be a 6200-6400rpm. It seems like a pretty dang high tech engine if you haven't read more about it yet. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/confirmed-2019-chevrolet-silverado-gets-optional-turbocharged-four-cylinder-engine I'm pretty sure it is brand new based off of this line, "Displacing 2.7 liters, the long-stroke forced-induction inline-four is an all-new unit that General Motors said was designed specifically for truck applications."

    Yeah I know the ole N/A's revved like a son of a bitch.

    None of those are turbo 4 engines you just listed. At least I can't think of a turbo 4 engine from those companies that is a real revver. I think the Type R is the highest revving turbo 4 with a 7000rpm redline.
  8. ccap41
    I don't think there are any high revving turbo 4's around, are there? I especially wouldn't think a truck would have one. So you can only get the 2.7T in an LT and RST? Am i reading the right?

    15 years ago** The 5.3 was rated at 285-310hp and 325-335tq.

    How is the auto assembly line perfect right now? You honestly think there is zero room for improvement? That's the difference in a billionaire who's sent rockets to space and successfully landed back on earth and.. people stuck in their old ways. Ironically because you're such an advocate for future propulsion technologies yet want the same old assembly line.

    If he was in the car game just to be like everybody else he would have been pushed aside long ago. He's trying to improve the assembly process not just do what everybody else has done because it's worked. Should there have been more testing ahead of time? YUP! But pushing boundaries is what's fantastic about Tesla.

    Very intriguing. I'm impressed to see somebody finally had the balls to drop a turbo 4 in a half ton.

    It's a car designed for track use.. It should be easier than other cars. I think you just don't know how to screw something in if that's the difficult part for you. HOLY SH!T THAT IS DIFFICULT!
  14. ccap41
    It isn't hard. They're designed to be put in on the spot, in an emergency. There is a little plastic piece on most cars covering the threads that pops off and you screw it in.. FYI I corrected it to "trunk" not "truck". Yes, I've screwed in a tow hook before.. It only takes a few seconds.
  15. ccap41
    Trunk** IL is one of those damn two plate states as well and this looks pretty good if you're in a state that requires it.
  16. ccap41
    The tow hook comes with the vehicle. It's always there, just not screwed in. It wouldn't take any time to walk to the truck, grab it out, and screw it in. That way you don't look like a jackass the other 99% of the time driving.
  17. ccap41
    I'll never understand the fad of leaving the tow hook in on the streets.
  18. ccap41
    Car looks gnarly! ..minus the damn tow hook.. ??‍♂️
  19. ccap41
    Hahaha oh just a 50% markup. That dealer can get fk'd.
  20. ccap41
    hybrid diesel? That thing ought to slaughter the MPGs.
  21. ccap41
    I just hate that your first thought was to sue somebody.. ??‍♂️
  22. ccap41
    So they think 20% of sales will be EV starting next month? I mean, that would be their next vehicle. That number is absurd.
  23. ccap41
    This is not necessary.
  24. ccap41
    4 cars really isn't a huge lineup but I feel like they're a little too close to each other. I feel like one ought to go.
  25. ccap41
    Good for him.
