GM Silverado/Sierra 1500 2.7 GTDI Inline 4?

Not in most of the ones you see at the mall or supermarket parking lot with their tiny 4 foot beds which are only useful for mulch runs to the Home Depot.
The beds are a little over 5 feet-about 63" I believe. So you are a little short. I tow all over the country with my 2018 Silverado 1/2 ton Crew Cab "short bed".
Your envy is showing.....
That was sarcasm. I WAS going to say 2' beds, but that's just silly.
I’m approaching 13k miles on this truck ow and have been using Mobil 1 ep 5w-30 in it. I’m switching to 0w-30 next oil change since our temps drop below -20 frequently. So far so good, we love the truck and it’s a beast in the snow. We got over 20” the last 4 days and has been 40mph winds for two days so you can imagine what the drifts are like. The trailboss also came standard with a 2 speed transfer case and auto 4x4 which make the truck a lot easier to drive in slick conditions.
Yes the 2.7L
Probably an optimal bore x stroke number they've engineered themselves to.
Nah. The Ford is a V6 and the Chevy is an inline 4.
2.7 L Nano (second generation)[edit]
The second generation 2.7L EcoBoost V6 was introduced with the 2018 Ford F-150 and is mated to a 10-speed transmission that debuted the year prior. It produces an additional 25 lb⋅ft (34 N⋅m) of torque over the first generation. The engine uses a compacted-graphite iron (CGI) block, which is both high strength and lightweight.It boasts a number of changes from the first generation, with many carrying over from the second generation 3.5L EcoBoost engine that arrived a year earlier in the F-150. The most prominent change being the addition of port fuel injection, while keeping the direct injection system. It also has reduced internal friction to improve power and fuel economy, and new exhaust gas recirculation system.[71] The specific output of the engine is now 121 hp/L, versus the 395-hp Ford Coyote 5.0L naturally aspirated V-8 which has a specific output of only 78 hp/L. The peak torque matches the 5.0L V-8, albeit at a lower 2,750 rpm vs. 4,500 rpm for the V-8.
Additional changes include a new lightweight cam to save weight, dual-chain cam drive system that is stronger and reduces parasitic friction loss, a new electrically actuated wastegate that provides more accurate turbo boost control, a high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation system, and a variable-displacement belt-driven oil pump that is electronically controlled to modulate oil flow to further reduce parasitic losses. [72]
Applications[edit]
- 325 hp (242 kW) at 5000 rpm, 400 lb⋅ft (542 N⋅m) at 2750 rpm
- 2018– Ford F-150
- 330 hp (246 kW) at 5250 rpm and 415 lb⋅ft (563 N⋅m) at 3100 rpm
- 2021– Ford Bronco
The GM L3B engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine designed by General Motors. Production takes place at GM's Spring Hill Manufacturing.[1]
In addition to GM's active fuel management, start-stop system, and variable valve timing, which are already featured on GM's other full-size pickup truck engines, this engine also features GM's Intake Valve Lift Control which has 3 different intake cam profiles that are electromagnetically-actuated to provide the best fuel economy and performance at a wider range of operating conditions.
The engine is the first GM truck engine to feature an active thermal management system. This system consists of an electrically-driven water pump and a 3-way rotary valve which allows the engine to maintain proper operating temperatures and quicker warm-ups. Also, a continuously variable oil pump helps to lower parasitic losses as well as providing proper lubrication and cooling to the engine, especially under high-load conditions.
The BorgWarner developed turbo can produce up to 22 psi (1.5 bar) of boost thanks in part to its unique dual volute turbine housing and an electrically actuated wastegate. Instead of two side-by-side exhaust passages like on a regular twin-scroll turbocharger, in this design the two exhaust passages are concentric and allow for better use of the exhaust pulse energy.
History
The L3B was first used in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, with an output of 310 hp (231 kW) at 5600 RPM and 348 lb⋅ft (472 N⋅m) at 1500 RPM. With the unveiling of the 2022 model year Silverado, GM announced a significant revision that stiffened and strengthened the engine allowing for a GM-estimated increased maximum torque rating of 420 lb⋅ft (569 N⋅m) while also improving noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH).

Ah. Didn't know there was a smaller EB V6. The post I replied to made it sound like another 4 popper.
Ford’s 2.7 is a V-6 and Chevy’s 2.7 mentioned here is a inline 4. I would suspect is more of a coincidence. Ford has the 2.3 inline four turbo that is popular in the Mustang and now the Explorer.
