Mudding in my brand new 2011 Chevy Silverado Z71 4x4. It only had around 2500 miles on it at the time of this video. Nothing hard core about it. The truck is 100% stock.
I love chevy! and i will to the day i die. I have an older model though its a 02 Z71 on a 6" lift with 35 bfg mud terrains km2 that truck has been through more than i thought it could. To this day it surprises me, I went to a mud bog and was going through mud where others were on tractor tires and i was just on 35's. It was so amazing but chevy all the way!
Gm is only 5yr/100k but you have to be careful a lot of dealers are starting not to cover component failure due to "abuse". GM has been calling back a lot of warranty parts and kicking back claims causing dealers to have to be tread lightly.
@ryan4x4dodge I love how people say "how can you do that to a brand new truck"? Its a truck not a damn Lexus!!! This is one of the things that these trucks are made for LOL...
I have the same exact truck, but it's a 1997 :). That sunoffabitch surprised me with those crap tires. The 4x4 system is impressive. Is it limited slip front and rear? Looked like some kind of variable clutch lockers. That's way more high tech than my old silverado...
It's not even close to the same truck if it's a 97. That would be like someone saying, "I have the same exact truck but, it's a Ford." If it was an 07 then yeah.
206,000 miles on my 2010... most fun I had in it was bashing through 4 ft snow drifts and drifting around on a frozen lake in -20°F. That would've been an awesome UA-cam vid dangit. Put a little crack in the plastic trim on my front bumper but that's just battle scars. Given her some nice beat downs I tell ya and she's still going strong.
a few mud puddles isnt hurting shit,and these trucks have a 100,000 mile/7 year power train warranty on them. so if something breaks its covered. if he had better tires on it he wouldnt be revving it so high....i got a 2011 chevy z71 myself there great trucks. id rather beat the hell out of a new truck covered under warranty then a older truck thats not covered......to each his own tho......keep on 4wheeling man!
Lol You are so funny. I traded the old Chevy truck in for a newer one. The old chevy was a 2003 with almost 200,000 miles on it. We live in the woods in northern MN.

This is HOW you break Ina new truck!!! Can't wait to get a new Z71 myself! I'll be doing the same damn thing.
i wish i got a new silverado instead of a new f150 didn't know what i was thinking
These are the videos I like to see!! A 4x4 truck isnt meant to be a street queen!!
amen to that, i have a 95 GMC Z-71, and that truck is a champ!, GM for life
I got the same color, can't wait to go mudding
Very nice truck I have the same thing but get it leveled with ready lift and it makes the truck look so much cleaning in looks
not to mention the new chevy truck commercials is all about mudding during there test drives with the dealer!
The 100,000 mile / 7 year warranty is nice, but if your luck is anything like mine something would break at 100,001 miles. Haha nice truck!
does the z71 have extra ride height over the standard truck.
Just got Hifly Vigorous put on my 00 1500 Z71 4x4... those things shed mud like crazy!
All over the undercarriage! lol...
if your muddin In 4wd and you get stuck then what if no ones around? why not run in 2wd then switch to 4 so you know you got back uo
besides, you got full coverage. bad ass truck.
Nice Truck

Mane that's he's truck let him do what he want to do

the white smoke that comes out from under the hood at 0:30... is that bad?
@trx420fm1 I got this truck in December and it has around 2,300 miles on it so its pretty much broken in. I consider them broke in over 500 miles lol.
@trx420fm1 He's driving it through puddles....its a truck. it can handle it dont you worry
what tires are you running and how do you like them?
The actual mudding starts at 2:21
yes and better suspension
i thought it said mud not mud puddles
thats what their built for!
You gotta brake it in somehow
I'm not a ford or chevy guy but I think a z71 goes better than a ford more reliable too ford has better power now
man i cant believe you treating a brand new truck like that at least break it in first of pay for it first :) wow. was beer involved? :)

Nice flag

was this truck lifted or stock? lol
I bet the wheel bearing grease is just washed away. Not a good thing to do to a new truck.
gotta get a little mud on the tires!
no thats just cold water hitting the hot engine, making steam
230,000 views! Holy moly!
mines a 2011 and i took it mudding asoon as i got 550 on it... its a z71 it can handle it un like fords ..
Those are some cute splashes
was this running in 4x4 High?
Yes at times. But mostly 2wd. Sorry for the 5 year delay lol.
If that was a Ford it would of gotten stuck in a matter of seconds...
Logan Mitchell no it wouldn't have it couldn't make it there

I know it can handle it cause it is a chevy but me I would let it break in a little more first though
I considder a Chevy broken in around 180k to 200k =)
needs atleast small lift that thing sits low

definetly didnt do anything to hurt it its a chevrolet not a crap ford or a mercedes
So weird seeing a Chevy with no exhuast noise
yo that thang can tow yo house down bro
Nice
this is true
will you break your Vtech in like this;)
dude i love your truck but dont be afraid to floor it to slow.
that was not mudding that was driving the water
beautiful truck, but i hate the stock wheels they put on them... its a truck! give it truck tires!
Dam straight
Your all right,this won't ruin the truck,but wheel bearings is another story.
Stupid to go mudding in a daily driver is all.
I couldn't do that to my new truck
hell ya needs 5% tint tho haha
your dad drives a p45
its a z71 thats what their made for lol
why would you have to do that to a beautiful expensive truck. So destructive.
Its a truck lady. Something you shouldnt own if you think this is destructive. I'd recommend a nice little honda for you mam
Actually we just went out and bought our 2nd Silverado. We had a Red one got a gray one. We do our mudding in our ATVs.
Diane johnson great, so you have 2 trucks you don't use. I assume you dread trails as it would seem too destructive for them
Lol You are so funny. I traded the old Chevy truck in for a newer one. The old chevy was a 2003 with almost 200,000 miles on it. We live in the woods in northern MN.
Then you of all people should know that this isn't all that destructive.
Ruined it Chevy's handle this everyday
:)
that thing sucks
REALLY??!?!?!?! IT'S STOCK!!!!!!! Of course I'd love to see you try it in a stock truck.
Sullivan Steed no its a good truck even stock but its fkn ugly. those wheel flares are the ugliest ive ever seen on a truck
It is impressive for not having good rubbers. I do agree on that.
Chevys do not suck
