Looking to buy a 2025 gmc work truck . They come with a 2.7L turbomax engine has any body had and good luck with the 2.7L , I won't be hauling and big loads just normal things. So would like the good and bad news about the truck with the small engine. Thanks Larry

How long do you plan to keep it?

watching, we bought a new 3/4 ford last year, so far, a good truck, but not great fuel milage 15-16

I will be 76 next month so who knows. Might be one day or 15 years hoping for the later. Only drive about 8000 miles a year if that helps.

Look at the YouTube reviews you can get a good idea what you’re getting into before you buy. Sometimes they point out major issues sometimes petty stuff but you get a clear picture overall.

Look at the Nissan Frontier they still come with the 3.0 V6 and are a lot less I like mine so far came with more than I expected for the price.

For diesel pickups I like to stick with dodge, unless something comes along that’s too cheap to pass on, for gasoline powered I like Chevy (used to like Toyotas, but even a clapped out rusted through Toyota is $10k anymore)

Thanks for the replys . I have never rode in a Nissan Frontier as we have no dealer close by. So have no idea about what the price would be but I can get the 2025 GMC for about 41,000 out the door at .09 intrest. And can get the double cab for about the same price. Larry

41000 seems cheap to me, I’d probably buy it unless you find out something real bad.

For a new truck you aren’t gonna beat that. I paid $51,000 for my 2016 3500 Laramie in 2019. It’s still worth $51,000 oddly enough

I was going to buy a new Toyota Tundra when a tree fell on my old one and totaled it. I couldn't find any with the 5.7L. In fact I couldn't find a new one with any v-8 in it. Turns out they stopped making them with V-8's in 2021.

I checked out the twin-turbo V-6 and it was impressive on paper. I started to think about all that torque and horsepower crammed into such a small engine and didn't think I could be very durable.

I decided to stick with the tried and tested 5.7L, bought a good used Tundra with low mileage. One owner and lived it's life in Florida so no rust at all. With a little luck, it might be the last truck I buy.

Bottom line, I don't trust the little turbo-charged v-6's.

I think 150s are aluminum body and frame now so no rust issues. I called this spring ans was told a extended cab 1/2 ton 4x4 dodge was 47k and a great deal after the 15k discount they were offering. I told the guy his idea of a good deal and.mine were different. He tried to convince me I was wrong. So I sain 22 years ago I paid 47.5k for a house and 2 acres. It's now worth 140k and bring in monthly income. What's that truck going to be worth in 23 years to express my point on what I consider a good.buy.

Looks like not many people have the 2.7L gmc engine so not much feed back. For a 4 cly. it puts out 310 hp. Thanks Larry

I’m a ford guy but my last 2 trucks have been Chevy 1/2 tons. I’m done with Chevy. The newer one look awesome, but I’m going back to ford. I don’t plan on trading in every 2 years.
At work, with the bigger trucks up to 1 ton it’s the same thing for the last 20 years. The chevys or dodge gassers just don’t stand up.

II was chevy truck owner for many years but have went Ford. Their product is so much more relievable and stand up to wear and tear better. My 2¢

Every truck brand has its quirks. Some people get good ones, some get lemons. If a guy really wants reliability, a pre owned Tacoma is probably the best truck on the road. (Research the years for a good one. There are several).

I've never been a brand loyal guy, I'll buy whatever makes the most sense at the time I'm in the market.
I get a new company truck about every 3 years, and the last eight have all been Chevy's. No major problems with any of them.

Consider the Ford Ranger. I really like mine.

Every person that I've talked to that owns one likes them. Must be a good little truck.

Funny how trucks have changed over the years from a work horse to the luxurious ride of today a simple 2 door haul anything to the 4 door never leave the pavement trucks of today. Trying to find a 2 door work truck now not easy when I bought my access cab Tacoma they asked if I wanted the access cab like they misheard me. LOL

The midsize truck of today is the full sized truck of years ago I see nothing midsize of my Tacoma or Frontier really I wish they made the old size Tacomas like before. Let’s see if the Stout ever gets here like they have been saying.

For most folks working out of the back of today’s trucks is not even practical without modifications like slide outs, steps or boxes unless your knuckles scrape the ground when you walk just not designed for work as is.

I’d buy a mini truck if they ever made them again but I’m not holding my breath if they didn’t make it back through all of energy issues we’ve had I doubt I’ll see new ones. Somehow swapping out 35 mpg for 18 mpg will save the world.

Bought my Ranger Lariat new in 2019 and had BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/As put on before I left the dealership. Love that truck!! I do wish they’ed offered a heated steering wheel though that year! LOL
