I am not too familiar with the 2.7 TurboTax motor. I am not a fan of any motor that has the fuel management system that deactivates cylinders. Many people have never had issues with them. Others have washed cylinders out. If I could delete the auto stop/start BS I would as well.
They say it has a heavier duty block and cylinders to take the extra stress of heavier towing and such.
With all that said I am a big fan of the 3.0l Duramax in the 1500s. Mine is a 2020. Bought new and have had minimal issues. Had a check engine due to a software issue. Mine is also included in the transmission valve recall. I have not had any issues with the transmission but it will need replaced eventually. Will be covered as part of the recall.
