    I know it's an older video, but as I configure a 2025 the information is still mostly relevant. I am an LT guy all the way, just check almost all the option boxes. That is because I REALLY dislike leather seats and LTZ doesn't offer a leather delete option. But then optioned all the way up, the LT is about $6k cheaper than my preferred config of the LTZ. Some of that can go to adding better speakers instead of the missing Bose. It is also easier to delete all of the chrome on the LT - I also don't like chrome (my current truck is a Titan Midnight Ed.) Can live without the rain sense wipers - they are neat, but my current ones don't work in winter (sleet or slushy snow) so it's a 6-month a year option. Can also buy aftermarket LED taillights for under $1k if I really want them.

    I like your review! Lots of details! Two things Chevrolet needs to add. 1.) Front massaging seats. Older F150's have them. 2.) Rear seat USB outlets in the arm rest. Worth mentioning is that the 3500 gets an electric steering rack. This makes the truck drive and turn like a sedan. 4G is the standard Wi-Fi speed. If you want 5G then you need to order Super Cruise in the High Country.

    Very informative video.
    You had mentioned that you can't get front & rear park assist on the LT. That is partially correct, you can get rear park assist on the LT as part of the safety or all star packages.
    At least that is what I have found out when specing out our next 3500 srw.

    The LTZ headlights are sealed. If a bulb or daytime LED strip goes out you have to replace the entire headlight which runs $2k for a dealer install. The LT bulbs are easily replaced with LED bulbs. The LED bulbs today have advanced processors and sensors so no more blinding other drivers. They work and look great.

    • @CarsMadeSimple

      I think it depends if there is anything you really want that is only available on the LTZ. If not, it could be better to get a well equipped LT but sometime it is better to get a lesser LTZ.

    Imagine still offering HALOGEN headlights in 2024. What a joke. Also still offering the old GRILL look on the lesser trim which everyone hated. They do this to get you to upgrade to the next model up. also dislike large amounts of chrome, it's tacky. GREAT side by side comparisons. Super handy. If you haven't done so, an ltz to a high country comparison would be nice. I'd probaly want an Ltz with z71 trim package and a gasser. LASTLY Nissan still does the rear flat floor storage better.
