I think SUV's are the only new Chevy's that still offer a v6.

 

2026 CT4V Blackwing twin turbo 3.6 V6 472 hp. Too bad they are phasing out the V6 it is a great engine and strong too which is why it works so well with boost.

I want some of whatever she's smoking... 🤣

 

Man... be careful with those donuts. They sound laced with somethin'

 

That white powder on them ain't sugar, just sayin'....

 

Ask to see the proof. If "V6" is part of the VIN I'm going to die laughing.

 

Dealer charged for a V6 badge on the tailgate.... everyone knows badges add horsepower and extra cylinders.

 

She doesn't.

 

Then some people wonder why a mechanic took advantage of them.
Not saying its right, but geez know the most basic of basic things of the tools you use in your daily life.

 

Nope

 

What is Tim Horton sprinkling on those donuts???

 

Even if she did somehow have a mythical 3.6, it's a downgrade compared to the turbo 4. 😂

 

Unless she meant 2022 instead of 2025, she is wrong.

 

OP, you have to get us more info. Did she get the YEAR wrong or simply has no idea about engines?

Maybe she's got the proportions of a Barbie doll and thus can get away with being so clueless about things.

• Twin-turbo 3.0L V6 LGY – Cadillac CT5 Premium Luxury (optional) and CT5-V (standard)
• Twin-turbo 3.6L V6 LF4 – Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing (standard)
• 4.3L V6 LV1 – Chevy Express, GMC Savana (standard)

The GMA article is confusing, because earlier in the text it did mention that the normally aspirated LGX V6 can still be had in two models. For example, the Chevy Blazer can still be had with the LGX for 2025.

 

Its kinda sad to see the V8's and V6's go but if im totally honest with myself the I4T motors just suit my purposes better 99% of the time. I had a 2013 KIA Optima turbo that I put 130K on and sold, never had one issue with it and it would cruise comfortably at 85-90 from L.V. to L.A. and back all while getting 35 or higher M.PG. My youngest still drives my 2010 Mazda CX7 D.I.S.I. 2.4 turbo with 150K with no engine problems. Im hoping my 2025 ZR2 2.7 T will be as trouble free.

 

I still like my V8’s and V6’s. All these four cylinders limit our options.
That’s a lot of miles out of a Kia, as they are not known to have a strong power train.
I had 225,000 on my 2013 Chevy Sonic Turbo, without any issues. The dipstick read full up until the day I sold it.

 

I don't think that many people know or care what engine type they have anymore.

I think it is funny how many people look at you funny if you mention the that the first generation Colorado had a 5 cylinder available. They often don't believe that 5 cylinder engines exist. Or people that knew about the 5 cylinder thinking that the second generation still had the I5 instead of the V6.

People also don't know which wheels drive their vehicle. And they think their FWD crossover with low profile street tires is an SUV that is off-road capable.

 

My H3 had that I5...pretty capable engine but was not quite enough to be be pushing the H3 around...

 

I'd ask to see it...The last year for the V6 engine option in the Chevy Colorado was 2022. For the 2023 model year, Chevrolet transistioned to a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine across all trim levels. This new engine was available in three different outputs, with the highest offering 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. That's why I bought my 2022 Z71!!

My wife says I can't challenge her on it so end of story i guess.

 

The completely sarcastic comedy side of me; There is a reason she is working at a Donut Shop. I'll let you connect the dots.

The normal human being side of me; There is a reason she is working at a Donut Shop. I'll let you connect the dots.

Oh wait...

Damn.

 

Nice vehicle for a donut shop lady. Older lady , but her vanity plate reads
BITOFUN lol. We're in our 70s, she calls us kids.

 

They dont have the v6 anymore just the 4 turbo. I just bought a new 2025. She's confused

 

My wife says I can't challenge her on it so end of story i guess.

I learned that after year 2 ( I'm a slow learner) made it to year 38.. pick your battles and keep mouth shut

 

Thankfully that doesn't apply to us single guys...🤣

 

I am an auto mechanic for 50 years and all I can say is now way can a 4 Cyl in the Colorado and canyon be better then the V6 the V6 just works so good …. Hope GM wakes up and changes there mind. When all those turbos start going bad let’s see what HAPPENS 😬‼

They've been out for 6 years in the Silverado.

Show us where they've been unreliable. Show us the huge recalls. Show us massive problems.

At 6 years, a lot of these engines will have 60k, 70k, 80k miles on them by now in 2025 (average 13k miles per year).

No offense to the old timers out there, but some of us base our decisions on facts, not feelings.

This is not the first time someone had claimed these engines will be unreliable, but none of the times that I asked for proof has any of them ever come back with data.

 

Turbo reliability has definitely improved. My brother had a M3 that went through 6 turbochargers in 150,000 miles but my son's much newer 2018 X6M at 180,000 miles is still on the original turbos and has been trouble-free.

Still would like to see a twin turbo V6 in the Colorado/Canyon but probably in the minority even here.

 

For the 2023 model year, Chevrolet transitioned to a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine across all trim levels.

While Nissan ditched the 4 bangers and now only offer V6 engines.
Doesn't Toyota offer V6 engines still?

These car manufacturers ought to borrow a page out of the Gibson Guitar playbook where they have "Custom Shop" guitars that can be special ordered just how you want them and yes it's pretty expensive.

By offering this, Gibson is allowing customers to order what they want and it helps them keep customers and gain new customers.

Customers not wanting to spend the extra money are free to buy their normal offerings and get the 4 banger guitar

Of course they won't do that since they are a large faceless corporation that seek to please stock holders instead of customers.

Show us where they've been unreliable. Show us the huge recalls. Show us massive problems.

Seems to be quite a few folks posting stuff on the net about giving up on GM due to having a lot of issues (some even on this forum).... but then again, other manufacturers are putting out troubled vehicles as well.

None of them are that reliable anymore. I blame the young people! (That's what the old people did back when I was a youngun is blame us for the world's problems)

We'll see in the coming years how reliable GM's 4 banger is when people start getting up to 200k miles and beyond. I'm thinking the engine and turbos may survive but the electronics won't which is happening on many new trucks while their new regardless of the manufacturer.

Well, we'll see how that works out for ya when you get to be an old timer!

I'd like to see a reliable naturally aspirated V6 Engine in the Colorados.... which is why I grabbed the low mileage 2016 I recently purchased.

GM is doing EXACTLY that with the $300k Cadillac Celestique sedan. All the colors and materials, especially on the inside, are bespoke and customized to the buyer. I think it is a pretty killer car, but customization on something as complicated as a car, as opposed to something as simple as a guitar, comes at a price - over a quarter of a mil. They recently announced some level of customization on their entire lineup. It's called the "Curated collection" or something like that. Adds like $40 or 50k to the price, but you can always just pick from one of the "regular" packages if you want to.

200k is a ton of miles for ANY engine. No modern engines are designed for that many miles for passenger cars and trucks. That's the simple reality. With average miles, that would take some 17 years. That's beyond an unrealistic metric to use.

Well, we'll see how that works out for ya when you get to be an old timer!

My stance on cold hard facts over someone's gut feeling is never going to change. That's for sure.
What's next, some of the old-timers are going to start reading tea-leaves or a crystal ball?

Good to hear GM is offering some customization for well financed customers so they can compete with the high end European car makers.

I've had a few GM pickups go beyond $250k on the engine / tranny with no problems back when all I could afford to drive was other people's junk.

I would usually have some oil leaks to fix and other minor stuff, but the innards kept right on rockin. Quality and reliability ain't what it used to be.

Well you know how it is with these young whipper snappers.... it's hard to get good help anymore!

He's going by experience not gut feelings. Someday when you get a little older and gain more experience you'll understand a little better!

 

Ask for a copy of the paperwork. It’s BS
