FYI (and I’m sure someone else mentioned this) - The light test continuously runs through signal lights/brake lights/etc so you can physically go outside behind the trailer and check them….. rather than putting your turn signal on manually and going check… having someone else check.. etc
Would appreciate seeing a realistic towing video with your 6.6 gas and that trailer to get a fair idea on Mpg. Even a video with your smaller camper that's shown at the end of this video. Love the content you put out and keep doing what you do
What are your thoughts on the gasser 2500 towing a momentum 320g? Technically, all weights are in spec. Just would like your thoughts on it. Haven't towed heavy yet eith this truck.
I believe the gm 10 speed is shifting into all 10 gears . Each shift it momentarily cuts power . The six speed cuts power less The ford skips gears when it isn’t under load .
Look forward to more content with that beautiful going up and down the grades. It would be great to get your impressions on that same run to Park City on I80 that you ran with the dually. I appreciate the video.
@@Billybob50119 well, it’s fine if you plan on replacing your truck often. The main factor to consider is that gas engines even within specs is their longevity. Gas engines when towing after around 100k-150k typically need major engine repair. Where your typical Diesel engine pulling within its specs …you’re looking at 250k-300k miles before major work. For $10k more when buying a truck….you’re getting more power, better fuel, and better longevity out of your engine. I’m not sure why everyone is afraid these days of diesel engines. If you stay on top of your maintenance…..let the engines regen properly…they are way more dependable than gas. I have owned many diesel trucks and wouldn’t trade my current diesel for anything. 2022 Ram 3500 Cummins.
@@diamondhead203that's what the vast majority of people need. Diesels should be in the vast minority of trucks on the road but purists often act like weekend warriors should just not bother or get a diesel anyway, rather than go gas.
Ya even with the bed camera it's not always easy, just easier. Not sure if I like Ford's implementation where they have a target line that you visually line up to where the pin should be, or GM's where they just let you see the pin so that a line isn't blocking it. I don't know how Ram handles their bed targeting.
@@JB_WhoWork It would probably be best to have the camera at the height of the front bed rail so you can SEE the pin and line it up clearly. Or, mount the camera inside the rear window and get most of the same effect as having it in the CHMSL. As for my 5W hookup, I get the truck as lined up as possible by eyeballing the rear mirrors, then turn on the bed camera for a basic guide, but turn and lean back to look through the center rear while adjusting steering with my left arm as I back up. That works best for me.
Try launching the truck with tow mode on and no trailer. My Titan had a slower launch but did better in tow mode. Regular operation the trans is looking for efficiency, but in tow mode it delivers more power.
How did you change the display on tour cluster and infotainment? Just took the plunge and bought a 2024 2500hd LTZ. Not too pleased with the mpg so far.. Hoping it improves once broken in
I'm a GM fanboy so I'm anxious to see the real test of towing your 5th wheel up a steep grade with the gasser. I'm curious to see if it will maintain speed while climbing a 6% or steeper grade. I towed my 8k travel trailer with a 21 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi and it did well pulling a steep grade but the engine was screaming the whole time and got 8.5 mpg. Also, I think it would be beneficial to show off the trailer light test in more detail. It will ruffle the RAM/Ford fan boys feathers even more when they see that you can test every trailer light without having to walk back and forth several times.
Nice video, hey JB, I have a 2023 Chevy Duramax and I have not been able to set my TMPS in my truck for my new 5th wheel I did use that TMPS tool that you had I even order the same one you have through Amazon but I did not setup, so I gave up and sent it back, what am I doing wrong?
I can tell it’s pulling a little harder, I noticed the same thing when I pulled the black trailer and the 0-60 was better than the L8T/6 speed hooked up to the trailer as well. I chose to be positive this time around 😂
The surprising thing about Ford's electronic up-down tailgate is that it doesn't compensate for bumper hitch setups that are too high. I just watched a 2023 F-450 press video where the Ford engineer had to hand-stop the tailgate from dropping all the way because their test pintle hitch would have put a crater in a brand new Limited truck's gate. I get that adding a stop feature would add more weight and complexity, but it could at least fire a warning and refuse to drop the gate if an obstruction is detected, kinda like a garage door.
@@JB_WhoWork Ugh. Then maybe they should also put in a detent where the drop stops mechanically at 70-80 degrees, then continues down if you hit the fob button again, or something.
Have you had the issue where sound completely cuts out (no audio inputs work, turn signals make no noise, etc.)? I have a 2024 AT4 HD gasser and had this issue pop up around 450 miles. It happened after I used remote start for the first time, so I'll have to test to see if that causes it... Love the videos, though. Keep 'em coming!
How are you enjoying your AT4 HD gas? That's what I'm leaning towards. Would be coming from a F250 Diesel towing a 9,000lb trailer one weekend a month.
@@UnravelingMysteriesX I love it so far. I drove an F250 with the 7.3 and it just felt like a tank compared to the GM vehicles. Steering and handling is so much better. As JB says, the 6.6L gas isn't super fast, but it's so smooth with the new 10 speed. The interior is great as well with the refresh. Only issue I've had is that one instance of the sound cutting out, but restarting the stereo fixed it and it hasn't happened again. Fingers crossed... But I think the gasser would be perfect for your use and that size trailer. We tow a fair amount in the summer, but not enough to justify the ~$10k more for a diesel (with all its maintenance and emissions nonsense).
@@Billybob50119 I was curious about this too, many people claiming it was the exact same transmission from the diesel. So I asked that question on a GM forum and a guy that works on GM's said no. The clutches, convertor, solenoids are all different part#s. They are for a lighter duty load. Remember the diesel trans has to be rated to at least 1200lb ft of torque. I was thinking no way are they going to that same trans behind the gasser. And he confirmed it. Totally different part #s and he also mentioned less clutches. I hope this helps.
I think the performance “gains” with the trailer are psychological. Going by the video timestamps, your 0-47 was roughly 20 seconds. Maybe tow/haul is helping it hold gears longer & sounds more aggressive. Regarding torque management, I don’t see why it would be more active when empty vs towing, it seems they would need to protect the drivetrain most when loaded. Also, I’m reasonably sure, GM marketing (maybe just fanboys) have touted the fact that their trucks (diesels at least) don’t use torque management like the competition does.
Nice video. So there’s really no reason for the truck to have any torque management. The only difference between the 2020-2023 and 2024 is the 10 speed transmission. From everything you can see they are the same transmission. I would assume they changed the torque converter but who knows. As for the 11.5” ring gear, I doubt that being an issue because that’s what the 2500 diesels have. Plus it’s what the gas trucks have had. Interesting results though. It could just be where you have better gearing and being under a load it’s just letting the engine stay in the power band more. I’m waiting for when you can test drive another 2024 and see if you can tell a difference.
With the 10 speed that Chevy would definitely work better with 4.30 gears. It needs to utilize the gears more. Watching your acceleration it’s running each gear out for a long time. With lower gear ratios it would run each gear out quicker and shift up more. Right now your using 1-5 gears a lot, I’d like to see it using 1-8 gears saving 9 & 10 for highway cruising
While towing, I’d prefer the 3.73 with the 10 speed. It’s better for cruising down the highway with a load. My 6 speed 6L90’s 5th and 6th gear are nearly identical to the 10 speed’s 8 and 9. I typically stay in 5th, even while cruising at 70-75mph. If the road is flat, the truck will shift into 6th. All the extra gears are better for climbs or extra power at certain speeds.
It would be a negligible difference (if any) in a 0-60 run and at highway speeds it wouldn’t make any difference. With this 10 speed, the 3.73 has a shorter final drive ratio compared to a 4.30 if you shift the 3.73 one gear lower than the 4.30. The final drives are similar, but the 3.73 will be a little shorter. Now at highway speeds there’s a point where a 4.30 just won’t downshift past a certain gear (it seems to be 4th in every kind of test I’ve seen) and in that situation the 3.73 would shift down the extra gear and end up with slightly shorter gearing. I do wish they’d offer a 4.10 or 4.30 for the instances it would be a benefit (slow speed situations like an extreme grade or pulling something that is good and stuck) .
@@matthewanderson9912 the 4.10 or 4.30 would be really ideal for moving heavy things around town or the farm. As far as the RVs , 3.73 all day, IMO anyway.
@@slaytanic921 absolutely. When 1st gear is all you’re going to be in the 4 something would be better for sure. Even back when 4 speed autos were all we had then yes, the 4.10 was necessary so you could make any kind of speed towing on grades. But when the 6 speed autos came out it really changed the game for gas engines and made the 4.10 not as important. And now this 10 speed has just about perfected it in my opinion.
So would you feel comfortable with towing that fifth wheel with the gasser? Just wandering because I’m debating trading my duramax for one and my fifth wheel is about the same size as yours. You’ve really got the only hd gasser towing a fifth content out right now
Oh Chevy heavy duty trucks are flawed with an independent front suspension that is very weak and under engineered Ram and Ford use a solid axle as it should be look at any heavy duty four-wheel-drive off-road her and they use a solid axle
I MADE MY LIVING IN A BIG BROWN SEMI SAID UPS ON THE DOOR. THE OLDER TRUCKS WERE MUCH BETTER ON LESS ELECTRONICS. SAME PROBLEM WITH NEWER PICKUPS. ANYTHING PRE 2010 IS A BETTER BET. HORSE POWER/TORQUE NUMBERS ARE DECEIVING NO MATTER WHAT YOU BUY.
1700 miles is not a lot you need to break in the engine transmission everything breaks. The whole truck gets the break-in. Diesels engine don't need to Long break in, gas engine take longer
Wow that gasser is working hard to tow 13,000 lbs on level ground and is going no where . Can’t imagine on a decent grade . Then again it only has 464 lb of tq compared to to 975 ft lb tq of deisel . Would think In long run if you tow a lot and decent weight a diesel truck would be better for longevity of motor etc ..
Too much strain?? How do you figure? It has more power and torque than diesels did 15 years ago. The fuel mileage is only about 20% different to a diesel, with cheaper fuel and no def
@@oldnumber6haven’t seen diesel cheaper hardly anywhere and any place that it is will be temporary because it’s summertime. $10,000 more truck for a diesel is a lot of extra interest to pay right now too. No def, cheaper oil changes, no fuel filter etc saves money also
@@oldnumber6s it though? Certainly not where I live (central PA). Here, diesel is $0.20 more than premium. Zero reason for me to get a diesel unless I'm going cross country (not likely any time soon), or driving like 40 or 50k miles a year (I'm not even close to that). Was a time that gas engines made no sense in a big truck but that's just not the case anymore.
@@Billybob50119 everyone complains about the extra 10 grand on a diesel. You recoup that if you sell it. They hold their value way better then any gas truck. I pay less then what regular gas costs. I haven’t paid over 3.20 a gallon in a while. Def is what ever. I get like 900 miles to a gallon on that crap and when my warranty is up I’ll take care of all that.
