David is such a huge new asset to the team. The fact that he would even risk his truck even if it is an older one is incredible. What a great personality. The new course is turning out great.
The ZR2 is absolutely fantastic. I love this thing. It’s the right combo between off-road and onroad. It’s a super capable off-roader that you can live with daily
@@omardevonlittle3817 TRD Pro gives market share to Japan 👎🏻. The ZR2 is more capable & has front + rear lockers; better interior, and an exterior that looks way better than any Toyota.
@@TheCoffeeField Gotta love the Toyota fan boys and their incessant need troll Chevy - Ford - Ram threads with their buy Japanese propaganda. ZR2 with its 6.2L absolutely destroys the Toyota TuRD.
Trucks have indeed gotten better. Magnitudes of scale better. I daily drive an 87 k-10 and would not trade it for the world. But I am also not naive to say anything about it, aside from its size, is better than a new truck - especially one engineered for this type of activity.
@@Cortlandt_Cash I know what you’re saying. Since the IFS the design improvements have stopped. The only improvements are technology not hardware. Bluetooth, cameras, FI, transmission.
This videos proves why these factory made off-road oriented vehicles are not worth it you pay 50-70 plus k for a vehicle and when you take it on a trail your scared to scratch it or ding it.
@@Back_door_bandit_98 but they are worth it and People do buy them new and take them off road all the time lol. Just the same way people buy new broncos and wranglers specifically for off road use.
Once again, this just shows how amazing the GMT400 platform is and the G80, while not elegant, just simply works when you need it. Put some BFG KO2’s on David’s truck (and a full tank of gas) and I bet it would handle all of those obstacles without the mule.
Awesome video. David is a cool guy. I’m glad you guys have made him a part of the channel. The ZR2 was very impressive. If GM makes that for the HDs they will have a grand slam home run.
That was really cool! I was kinda surprised you took the ZR2 through some of those, that was scary 😳. Glad you guys took a 70k truck though that. I like David's truck too ,not many of those around with the 454 !
Having put nearly 200K miles combined on Michelin Defender LTX highway tires on two different 4x4s (a Frontier and a 4Runner), I know why David loves those tires so much. I also understand why he got stuck where he did. I am actually surprised he made it through some of the earlier obstacles without getting stuck, in fact. I'm still running the Michelins on the Frontier for my daughter to use it as her daily, but I upgraded to Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws on the T4R.
this is a great series. I've enjoyed watching all of the episodes. the ZR2 is an absolute beast in off road. the old gmc did well too.....with a little help
I love how TFL’s videos are kinda like a home video. Everything is candid, unscripted and sometimes impromptu. It’s a breath of fresh air from all of the vehicle review channels that cut and edit everything. Keep it up TFL!
The Mule and Andre did a great job getting David’s truck out of a couple of spots. David’s truck didn’t do that bad with the obstacles but, that ZR2 did awesome. David did a great job with the building of the obstacles on Tumble Weed Ranch. Great video guys.
You should run the TRX (before you sell it) and the Raptor through the course. If you are going to 0-60 them you should off road them too. It would be great to see if the front locker on the ZR2 is needed on the TRX, for example.
I’ve been on the edge about the ZR2 or the AT4 and this thing is amazing. I thought, “no way it’s too big and not enough clearance” this is easily GMs best commercial.
I am a David fanboy. He is what I hope to be like some day. It's been talked about and beaten into the dirt, but he is such a capable human. I wish he was my neighbor/friend. Also a super nice person.

Would love to try the course with my 98 awd astro with 3 inch lift ,rear Locker, front lsd progressive coil spring shocks in the rear ,Rancho 9000 adjustable in the front with 373 gt4 gearing
Course is coming into its own now. Great comparison between an old 4x4 and a new one. I would love to see David's truck with at least good all terrains, if not some mud tires do the course again.
2-3 1/2 way💪 people pushing a truck from the back will make such a big ass difference trying to get unstuck! When I was younger we used to get stuck all the time make everybody get out & just push us out, head to the next obstacle & go get stuck again. 🤦 Joys of being a kid. 💯% fun👍👍
I remember half the time we would have 5-6 people in a vehicle that sat 4 people, most the time everybody would just get out & the vehicle would just continue on maybe a little bit of a push but it mostly had to do with so much weight & sinking the vehicle
I took my full size truck off road once. The width, and poor visibility are significant downsides. I bought a RZR immediately after for my off road fun.
It's why I went with a Wrangler. I almost went with a Trail boss but the size of today's full size trucks is a major downside off road. Plus, that convertible top is a lot of fun.
I remember when everyone was digging the Silverado ZR2 for not being a wide body truck. I’d LOVE to see them take the Raptor, TRX, and the Bronco through that course.
Really enjoying the new tumbleweed course. I hope you guys are planning on opening up some of those obstacles so you can run a TRX and raptor through them.
Moral of the story don't test David's course building skills you'll pay for it and he's just getting warmed up but I can't wait to see what's next thanks for the great content
Awesome video...David is so awesome he deserves a full tank of gas and some great tires..plz...Silverado zr2...the best..nobody even comes close to how great yoir content is..Awesomeness
Those new connectic energy or bungee chord style "straps" are a game changer. This was a very entertaining episode guys. Even my 7 year old daughter came and sat down and finished the episode with me. Maybe a new TFL fan in the making 🤔
Very well put together video, and very interesting seeing some american trucks offroad, which I've never seen before haha. I think you guys would love aussie offroading, have a look at some of 4WD 24/7's videos, its a great example of the driving we have here in aus. Very different vehicles and some awesome tracks 👍
Great Review again! You guys have fun doing it too-I'm looking at a ZR2 - Been a Ford guy forever, I just want something different and something to have fun with too. Andre and that Mule-Perfect!
Great video! The course is looking and shaping up to be a true offroad course. Really surprised about that ol' GMC! The ZR2 definitely made life easy with the lockers. It would be cool to see a Trail Boss compared to the ZR2 on this exact course on the same day. A true back to back comparison. It would be an opportunity to really see the differences with front and rear lockers of the ZR2 compared to the G80 rear locker of the Trail Boss. I must also add that Mule did a helluva job too!
David is such a huge new asset to the team. The fact that he would even risk his truck even if it is an older one is incredible. What a great personality. The new course is turning out great.
BFG, if your watching, put some tires on David's truck. It will show how awesome your tires are when he makes it through the course without a pull.
Shoot, any half decent off road tire whether from Hankook, Toyo, BFG, Goodyear would drastically improve that old GMC 2500.
@@TheCoyote808 yeah, they have some kinda of deal with BFG though
@@dalejones4322 Should have realized that with the free BFG tires in the No Payment series. Me big dumb dumb sometimes.
Bfg ta ko2 would make that trail look easy
@@bradlaflamme6127 that's the exact tire I have and they are great off road. Good on road too
David has been a great addition to the team!
Best part of Sunday, Morning coffee & the latest Taming Tumbleweed!
Ikr
Absolutely!
Loved this episode of Andre's Off-Road Recovery.
Big love to the AORR team, we'll get em out.... maybe
Thank you for the kind words.
I think David's 92 did pretty good considering it had road tires.
Great episode, I look forward to Sunday mornings & taming tumbleweed.
'92 chevy flatbed only g80 on street tires keeps up with near 70k dual locker and decent tires....priceless
Nothing they did was even close to challenging is why.
The ZR2 is absolutely fantastic. I love this thing. It’s the right combo between off-road and onroad. It’s a super capable off-roader that you can live with daily
A trd pro. Tremor or Backcountry woulda faired all the same for less money
@@omardevonlittle3817 I like the front locker though. I also think the truck looks great
@@omardevonlittle3817 Lol wrong. Neither have front lockers, and a similarly equipped Tremor is the exact same price. Ignorant.

Spectacular video. I'd suggest taking a few more trees out. No sense in damaging new vehicles. Especially loaners.
Action packed! That one's twisted hole was gnarly. ZR2 and lockers made short work of it though.
Yup the truck performed well…….not so much Tommy’s driving! 😳
I’ve been loving this series. Seriously David need his own channel. TFLDavid
He does. Its called going off the rails
David is a gem of a person. The ZR2 is extremely capable, but it's sooo big.
Really enjoying this series guys, great off road course!
I would take David’s truck over pretty much anything on TFL recently. I love it!
His truck is in top notch quality. The chrome on the bumper is near perfect. The down side is the big thirsty engine.
I can see a ZR2 vs Power wagon vs Tremor vs Gladiator in the near future....
That ZR2 had amazing capability, but I’m really impressed at what David’s truck can do with those street tires.
David has been an awesome addition to TFL! Hope we see more of him and his pickup with some offroad tires and maybe even a full tank of gas!
The mule is the map of the ranch.
Zr2 might not be the strongest or fastest, but is the Swiss army knife. Just might be the best of the bunch of super trucks!

David has been putting the work in big time-call it David's Glen. Keep up the good video's
I love this series so much that I'm almost convinced I need to buy myself a mule
David is really good and a down to earth guy who brings so much to the team. We want more of him on the channel please.
The background music is so cool, makes me feel like I am in a Off Road racing game
Seeing Andre in any video is a great video!!
The Mule and Andre did a great job getting David’s truck out of a couple of spots. David’s truck didn’t do that bad with the obstacles but, that ZR2 did awesome. David did a great job with the building of the obstacles on Tumble Weed Ranch. Great video guys.
The ZR2 is such a beast. Seems like Tommy is starting to appreciate it's crazy capability more and more.
Hilarious @19:53.
WHAT DID YOU DO?!! 😂😂😂
Am I the only one that noticed the giant rock Tommy was running over starting at 2:28? Lol Great stuff guys. I really enjoyed this one.
Tumble - rock.
You guys had entirely too much fun on this video. Great job on the contrast and compare of the two very different trucks.
You should run the TRX (before you sell it) and the Raptor through the course. If you are going to 0-60 them you should off road them too. It would be great to see if the front locker on the ZR2 is needed on the TRX, for example.
It's better than cinema. You guys are absolutely entertaining. This is really a great trail.
David is exactly what this channel needed
Love it when they are just having fun. It make the video content that much enjoyable.
Those were some tough climbs..
ZR2 is virtually unstoppable..
David has been a great addition to the channel and he meshes so well with the rest of the crew. He has done a great job with the course!
I’ve been on the edge about the ZR2 or the AT4 and this thing is amazing. I thought, “no way it’s too big and not enough clearance” this is easily GMs best commercial.
That’s it. ZR2 is my next truck! Great content as always!
Thank you for watching!
Throw some 35 KO2s, then voila...
ZR2s rule!! Was thinking my Colorado ZR2 would love this course...
I'm learning that there are some benefits to modern technology. ZR2 isn't getting stuck
That mule is a little monster it's definitely becoming it's own character on the channel I definitely need one after seeing these videos
Excellent idea at the end there Tommy! Let’s see how a good tire changes everything off road!
I am a David fanboy. He is what I hope to be like some day. It's been talked about and beaten into the dirt, but he is such a capable human. I wish he was my neighbor/friend. Also a super nice person.

Call them up let's get this done.....
@@4673962 I'm close too
That's more serious off-road trail than before. I think in this episode we saw everything that the ZR2 is capable of. Really great truck!
I like David's Dumb & Dumber reference there at the end too! "Our pets heads are fallin' off!"
was wondering if anyone else caught that!
Awesome video! Love how this course is coming together. And as always its great to watch David work!
The look on Tommy's face at 23:15 says a lot about how difficult the course is .
He didn’t want to damage the new truck!
@@snomass1 yeah I can imagine. I'd probably have the same face if I were putting a new..vehicle in harms way
TFL definitely needs more David. Great addition to the channel.
Tommy and David are a great team
I absolutely love this channel and I never owned a truck. Man that's great.
That ZR2 killed! Impressive.

I had a Tacoma...now a Tundra. I love the Tundra but for off road use the Tacoma is much better. So much more maneurable in tight quarters.
@@mikefoehr235 I did the same thing. The tundra feels huge which is nice most of the time but the Taco was so much more fun up in the oregon mountains
@@TheDeanGullberry me too, but with GM stuff. I had a Canyon, it was fun off road. Sierra, not so fun.
“This truck is just too big”…. Raptor owners nervously laughing
I remember when everyone was digging the Silverado ZR2 for not being a wide body truck. I’d LOVE to see them take the Raptor, TRX, and the Bronco through that course.
Really enjoying the new tumbleweed course. I hope you guys are planning on opening up some of those obstacles so you can run a TRX and raptor through them.
This ranch offroading is awesome
The ZR2 is such a killer truck. Looks, power, capability. No Raptor or TRX is fitting on this course.

David’s truck is sweet! Much cooler than that new parade float.
That rock rolling at 30:54 looked like it was trying to make contact with the side of the truck.
Looks like so much fun. Glad all the TFL hard work allows for some play time. 👍🏻 ZR2 is badass & the old GMC is cool too. 🇺🇸
How about an old vs new of the Grand Cherokee thru Tumbleweed? Haven't seen your Trailhawk in awhile.
WJ or Wk with Quadradive would kill modern grand cherokees
Brilliant, great entertainment. Thanks.
