Which would you rather buy in your $40,000 truck, a 2.7L turbo V6, or a 2.7L turbo I4?
On the other hand, GM has the 3.0L twin-turbo high-feature V6. Why not put that in a truck, detuned to maybe 360 HP.
Has GM figured out how to stop the High Feature family from tossing cam chains?
That would be a deciding factor for me. Granted, changing the cam chains on a V6 mounted in a truck designed for a v6 probably is much easier than doing it in a Traverse.
