450 lb.-ft.???? hmmmm.

Manley better have his team back his promise up

282 horsepower is pretty impressive too.

Impressive numbers although with it being apparently a Canadian spec sheet I wonder if the MPG is shown in imperial gallons or us gallons. If it is in imperial gallons expect to see a lower advertised MPG number although I feel like 28MPG highway is about right for this powertrain.

2.7L turbo 4-cylinder in the Silverado only gets 21 combined MPG (20 city / 23 highway). Terrible. Why even buy a 4-cylinder full-size truck? I was hoping for much better than this and this is only for 2WD trucks... Even the Ram 1500 3.6 w/ eTorque beats this.

Wow, this truck is just a dud. It seems like GM isn't even trying anymore.

I liked the look of the 2019 Ram from the start and after seeing the Chevy and GMC in person yikes did they (GM)
ever mess up IMO. Now to top that off the diesel is only rated at 28MPG? Ram did this and better way back in 2013
and I think the new diesel will be rated at 30 or 32MPG.

(On a side note, Ryan, as a dealer are new rams having a lot of problems or are most fine just no time to talk because people are to busy having fun diving them?)

We haven’t had any issues yet that I can think of, aside from a few misbuilds that were fixed before they reached customers.

GM has unfed ponies.

FCA is usually understating power for a turbo engines.
