I had a ‘23 ZR2 with 6.2L, used it for work and drove 45K. Great truck no issues but fuel economy was only 15 MPG all around and required 93 octane. Only 325 mile range which all was unacceptable to me. Have a ‘24 ZR2 with 3.0L DuraMax and now get 21.7 all around MPG and over 500 miles range! No issues through 15K. Other than top end speed to pass when you shouldn’t, the 3.0L is way to go in my opinion
Great review! G’day from Australia! We have these fully imported and converted to right hand drive. Big trucks like these are becoming very popular here in Australia. The bigger, the better!
I have a 24 ZR2 with the Duramax. I enjoy the fuel economy with my commute to work. Got a 23Zero RTT on an RCI bed rack. It’s been a great setup for sporadic camping trips. I’m sure the trailboss would’ve been a great truck too. As a GM employee couldn’t pass up the opportunity/deal for my ZR2.
@@eduardoguzman-lw4ct I average 20-22 mixed driving. Long highway trips 26-27. I easily get 500 miles range out of three quarters of a tank. Well if I don’t hot foot it. Diesel has been around $3.10 a gallon since I bought the truck in May.
I really love the looks of these trucks, but just hearing a lot about the reliability of these trucks and for the price?!… yeah is hard to get into. I wish they can have some good reliable engines. If they did I think it be somewhat worth the price.
Has anybody bought one of these to use as a daily driver? How do they do as a daily? I dont currently need to pull anything, but my wife and I want to get a bigger RV in a year or two. Anybody DD one of these 2500's? How is it?
All,trail bosses have the black bow ties. That’s not part of the black essential package. Do some research on what you’re selling before making a video. Small details matter.
If he's a salesman needs some training. 3.0 is available in both for '24. L70 is 305 hp and 495 torque. Chevy should have used Bilstein instead of Rancho on the TB.
@@atg1338 i don’t travel long distances or tow heavy loads on a daily basis so while I would enjoy the better fuel economy the diesel would give me it’s overkill for my needs
Why in the world did Chevy ever decide to put the full length Chevrolet name indented across the tailgate 🫣 that’s so ugly. Just put the bow tie on every tailgate
Neither, I use hd trucks to haul my toys. It's a tool. I picked up a 2500hd duramax custom. And I feel I overpaid at 63 thousand. And that was a good deal? They are overpriced. I would rather put my money into my toys. And they are overpriced as well. But purpose built. Choose your poison .

What mpg you getting? Really considering the same truck you have

You won’t be buying a new motor if you use 87/89 lol
Really?
Your injectors will clog up and it will run like shit though.
That's not how it works lol @@Adjust-Fire-jy3dy
The trucks are designed for two different people. Just depends what you want to do with the truck. Tow or off-road.
Diesel is cheaper than premium gas. 6.2L is having a problems with lifters. I’d take the Duramax all day long.
😂😂😂😂 man up and get a actual duramax 6.6L
@@joshtaylor1416 can’t afford and don’t need a 3/4 ton truck bro!
@@jonbaniak9097 enjoy the sewing machine then 😉
@ I have a 2014 Tundra with a 5.7L V8. It will be running long after anything else on the market dies thank you!
A dealership pushing the more expensive model? Say it's not so! 🤣
I wish i made more money the more expensive the truck was.
Save $25k. You know you ain't gonna off-road a $75k truck!! 😮
Ill take the Trail Boss
I have the trail boss, of course without those goofy ass mirrors lol
Tow mirrors on a half ton is just weird to me 😂
ok
@@s4d1st_yayyep goofy ass mirrors lol
Seats on ZR2 may as well be wood. Most uncomfortable seats on the market
Amd still almost none of the trail bosses come with adaptive cruise control? Why not? Even most of the premium trim trail bosses do not have acc.
I really love the looks of these trucks, but just hearing a lot about the reliability of these trucks and for the price?!… yeah is hard to get into. I wish they can have some good reliable engines. If they did I think it be somewhat worth the price.
My money goes to the ZR2 AEV Bison edition. Better IMO
Yeah no shit lol
The Bison package looks nice but doesn't add any capability. Just weight. Payload with the Bison package is just barely over 1000 pounds.
you can get the zr2 in diesel too
Depends, are you going to tow...???
Has anybody bought one of these to use as a daily driver? How do they do as a daily? I dont currently need to pull anything, but my wife and I want to get a bigger RV in a year or two. Anybody DD one of these 2500's? How is it?
What about payload and towing whats the differences ?
ZR2 has 8900 max tow vs trailboss diesel at around 9,300 Lbs. Zr2 suspension and gearing makes tow capacity a bit less.
If they wanted to compete with the raptor they would've added 200 HP to them
I want a truck like that
The zr2 if you dont need the e lockers is not worth it.

You are correct, its dark essentials pkg and thats an option on other silverado models.
Thats why i like ZR2 suspension better.
Zr2 doesn’t have HIDS lol both have LED. LED is better than HID
My bad.
I’d buy a zr2 if it came with the 5.3 liter v8 i don’t want the 6.2 or the diesel
The diesel is an awesome motor....
@@atg1338 yes it is I just don’t need a diesel engine
@@CaptainSolo124 you don't need better mpg ?
@@atg1338 i don’t travel long distances or tow heavy loads on a daily basis so while I would enjoy the better fuel economy the diesel would give me it’s overkill for my needs
@@CaptainSolo124 but diesel does cost more and oil changes are more. So it's probably pretty even after mpg.
This guy doesn't know shit about either truck. He said the ZR2 has upgraded HID headlights. Both trucks have the same LED lights.
Big boy truck
Way to much $$$ for a 1/2 ton truck

I like it it’s old school

Should you buy the 70k dollar truck or the 85k dollar truck. FOH
It doesn't witch one you buy, you will have lifted a d transmission problems
