>brand new>regular cab>RWD>none infotainment system >2.7 liter turbo>$26,615talk me out of it
>>288697562.7l turbo.
>>28869759which makes 310hp/430 torque
You should definitely buy one. What could go wrong?
>>28869756>rwdthats half its resale value gone right there, and you will regret it a few times yourself...
>>28869756>Full size truck>4 cylinder engine>CEO still getting paid 10s of millions per yearFuck this country
>>28869756>$10,000 discountWhat a joke.That thing ain't worth even $10k
>>28869760It's a 4 cylinder turbo. In a full size truck.
That does seem like a good deal.Trucks were originally inline-4; it's a return to tradition!
>>28869756regular cabs are annoying because you don't have any interior storage besides whatever fits on the passenger seat, and if you have a passenger then you're just fucked
>>28869756>can have a 300 hp truck for 25k>can't have a 300 hp car for 25kwhy? you just make less truck and people will buy it
>>28869787trucks have reduced emissions and safet requirements than cars and body on frame is cheaper to manufacture than an unibodythis is a campaign to offload 35k trucks at 24k. If Mazda had thousands of Mazda 3 Turbos it wanted to get rid off the same could happen.
>>28869760>The GM 2.7L TurboMax (L3B) engine uses adurable, oil-bathed wet timing belt designed for the engine's lifetime
>>28869797>body on frame is cheaper to manufacture than an unibodythen let us fucking have body on frame
A power body, with the insides of a onions car. Fuck greed in this country. Let them learn it's a bigger loss to pull that shit.
>>28869756Imagine trying to sell a 4-cylinder truck to MURICANS.
>GMC drops 10k>Stealership puts the 10k back on the price tag Problem, customers?
>>28869756Have them throw in an LS crate engine. Run the 2.7l until it dies, then swap.
>>28869883You can get an fwd truck. I found out that Americans has that. wtf.
>>28869800Nope. That's all I needed to know.
>>28869883>Blocks your path
>>28869760>>28869800lmao
>>28869756You could get a hybrid Corolla 4wd for the same price.
>>28869985i have not been paying attention to the car market in like a decade, but when the FUCK did they come out with a 4wd corolla?
>>28869963I kneel.
>>28869800>wet beltLmao, do they really? Hurr Durr environment 24/7 up the wazoo but engine disintegrating sabotage at the design board is tolerated.
>>28870047At that price, that belt can be wetter than my dick at your mom's house.
>>28869800>timing belt designed for the engine's lifetimeSo the engine dies at around 100k miles?
>>28870047Wet belt is probably better tho
>>28869756Bro I wouldnt drive one of those for the free.99
>>28870134Half that
>>28869756The cheapest one I'm seeing in my area is a '25 RCLB 4WD, original msrp $45,230, marked down to $32,201. It has three options: the "pro value package", the locking diff, and they have the fuckin nerve to charge $495 for black paint.
>>28870214As a comparison, the cheapest Silverado 1500 is a '25 RCLB 4WD WT, msrp of $45,250 marked down to $36,250. For a work truck it's optioned out: WT Safety Package, WT Value Package, "chevytec" spray in bedliner, 17" alloys, trailer brake controller, 120v outlet, and the fancy power tailgate.
>>28869756It's still trapped in a 1500, with all the weight that entails but none of the power
>>28870228How much power do you realistically need, anon? You're one fat guy. It's not like you gotta tow a big ass camper for your family.
>>28869797>bod,y on frame is cheaper than unibodyI doubt it, but idk much about manufacturing, I just have a hunch you're wrong
>>28870137>Wet belt is probably better thoIt isn't. The belt shreds and clogs the oil pickup and starves the engine of oil if it doesn't strip splines off or just out-and-out break causing the pump to stop and starve the engine of oil. It's simply bald faced planned obsolescence.
>>28870240They pull that old canard out whatever they're trying to move. If it's BOF then that's cheaper to make, and implied it's cheaper than the unibody competition, and if it's unibody that magically becomes cheaper than BOF. They also respect the customer so little that they'll tell you one right after the other thinking you're too dumb to notice.
>>28870125>Bot replyI thought astroturfing was forbidden here? Choke on the (You) and die>>28870137Oil disintegrates the belt, the chunks clog your oil pickup.Say it slowly with me:Oil.Disintegrates.The.Belt;The.Chunks. Clog.Your.Oil.Pickup.Got it? Again, just to be sure The oil disintegrates the belt within 40k miles, the debris of which will clog your engine's oil pickup and starve the engine of oil.This is not a theoretical, this is not an if, this is a hard fact and only a matter of time. Ask any automotive engineer, wet belts are a dead end technology and oly exist because we're in a beancounter era. Wet belts are the mRNA "vaccines" of combustion engines, no one who ever received one hasn't died of it, even if it takes years.Got it? Yes? Cool.
>>28870231I mean my car puts 500+ to the wheels, and it's significantly smaller and lighter than a half ton
MUH WET BELTSucks, but if you own the car from new, keep an eye on the belt's condition and replace it every few years it's not that much of an issue
>>28869760Poor kid, he doesn't get it. Maybe one day.
>>28870568OOOOOORRRR get something with a timing chain like we've used for the last century that never needs to be replaced. Do you like making additional work for yourself for the hell of it? You sound like a good goy.
>>28869800AI retards strike out again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPgkauSP8yc
>>28869756>$26k + interest + tax tag and title + tipYou can get one of these for half the price and it'll last forever and be easy to work on if you take care of it.
>>28869787>muh 300hpYou say that like 300hp is meaningful in isolation. That 300hp truck is slower than even bitch mode sports cars like a miata, which makes what? 200hp? Would you even want a 2.7L 4cyl that has a power curve like this in your car? It's like a smog era big block power curve without the cool v8 noises. Taps out before 6,000rpm and sounds like some mexican's straight piped accord: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/00h9n6GfOQg
>>28869756>no linkWhy must OPs be like this? It's a very basic courtesy.https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-trucks/gmc-is-trying-to-sell-its-inventory-of-4-cylinder-trucks-and-its-resulting-in-some-extremely-cheap-brand-new-sierra-1500s/ar-AA1Xx0JX
>>28870601it a truck meant to haul light cargo, it doesn't need to be fast
>>28869756i still don't understand the point of these 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder truck engines. they get the same or worse gas mileage as v8s but are more mechanically complex and prone to blowing up.
>>288700211980s
>>28870626Why did you reply to my post with this? Are you stupid? Are you completely incapable of following context? I'm replying to someone who thinks 300hp is something meaningful in isolation, it's not. You wouldn't want this truck's engine in your car, $25k or not. It's a big lazy crappy sounding low revving 4 banger.
>>28870641it's perfectly acceptable at that price point for a new vehicle under warranty
>>28870628The online yappers call it "enshittification". It's the same reason everything is getting uglier, it's a top down deliberate effort to make life less enjoyable for the common man to demoralize, divide, and control. Plus, the big turbo 4cyl is cheaper to make than the old V8 or even the old V6 so it's good for profit margins.
>>28870644Comparing base model to base model going back 30 years I want to know why the highway fuel economy peaked with the 4.3L 6spd and dropped in the new 4cyl truck.
>>28869787before covid ecoboost mustangs were sub $30kyou can still get a stripper model for $32k
>>28870601put that 300 hp into a car-sized car and would you look at that, ecoboost mustangfaster than brz!
>>28869756Nothing to talk you out of, pretty decent
>>28869760wow, you can read the brochure
>>28870750I'm pretty sure it has 765 hp and 1,488 lb-ft of torque. Never read the brochure.
>anemic car engine on a huge truck This thing will grenade itself the moment warranty ends.
how much does this pile of shit weigh
>>288707773,215lbs
>>28870587I believe the oil pump on those is a wet belt not the timing chains.
>>28869760That will inevitably ACK early
>>28870601its still faster than regular pickups from 10-25 years ago a 1/4 mile of 15 flat and a 0-60 of 7s isn't enough in 2026 apparently i use one as a work truck and its not bad, pretty comfortable and has enough get up and go, $26k is what you spend for a crossover or a corolla/mazda 3 nowadays. i'd take one over the dodge equivalent, iirc the lease on them is $300/mo so if you don't want to marry it just lease it who cares 9000lb tow rating is plenty if you want it as a daily that can tow a car on weekends
>>28869771My work van has a 4 cylinder turbo and I regularly haul 7000-7500lbs with it. Has had zero mechanical engine issues with 220k miles on the clock so far.
>>28870809lies it's 4500if it were acrtually under 3400 lbs it would be the most popular 21st century sports car
>>28870856Wow you can read the brochure.
>>28870245Welt belts are fine as long as you ONLY use that specific engine oil and change it religiously.The failures are from people going to jiffylube for their $39.95 special because they dont want to pay the dealer $120.Not defending the price or practice but the belt itself isnt the issue and is a solid design.
>>28871238The belt for my 3.0 durmax LZ0 is supposed to be serviced at 200k miles. It'll take me 12+ years to get to 200k. Its a non issue to me and I can probably do it myself. But even if I had to pay to get it done, the 2-3k it'll cost isn't a big deal. The belt is made of Kevlar too its not like it dissolves in oil. Sure, in a perfect world i would have rather had a chain, but I have seen them fail as well. People are definitely overreacting about it.
