Thanks for watching both channels.
Its just butthurt keyboard millennials that's all it is. Built up frustration has to go somewhere. I don't go up the IKE either or anything near that elevation unless its a rare vacation.
I just heard you say the i-80 gountlet and thought to myself, oh I drive that a few times a year, I had no idea that it was a "thing" that people that don't live in my area knew about
Funny you should mention regional access.... I am curious if your dislike of sunroofs is a regional thing too? Do you get too much sun with a sunroof down there?
1: you don’t know his age. 2: Don’t know his employment 3: Don’t know how much he makes. Based off those facts you can’t determine how much he has saved up for his retirement.
I've owned a Trail Boss for a month now, very comfortable and smooth ride, still getting used to it and breaking it in. Hope it lasts as long as my other Silverados. 2008-242k and 1995 289k. Seems to avg 17 mpg so far, but with only 1000 miles on it, it's obviously early.
Bryan E agreed. I’m coming from a 2004 Toyota Camry as a daily driver. I’ve owned a 2017 Mini Cooper for two years now and still have trouble just using the stinking radio when driving. I love my Camry. Simple is just enjoyable, in my opinion.
So gentlemen, u like your stuff simple huh and request chevy to keep it simple. Do u consider it fair for costumers to pay for a high end luxury vehicle amd not get the luxury? I mean, you r paying for it, might as well get it. And for you to say "oh, well, i prefer my truck simple". Gentlemen, every single truck and every brand has a standard model, the most cheapest and simple one. Get that damn standard one and let the others enjoy luxury on the high end! Wouldnt you call that fair?
I wasn’t a fan of the front end, and the redesign, but it’s actually growing on me. Saw a trailboss in a dark grey, and it looked great. I highly misjudged this truck. I’m more of a Ford guy, but I like the Silverados. I think I still like the 14s through 18s better, but this is growing on me.
I am glad they brought back the rear air conditioning vents. I sold GM and Chevy in 2007-2008 and Chevy 2010-2014. That was one of the complaints from the previous GM owners. The trucks they had before had it. But the models previous to this didn't have it. That is a huge selling point here in central California where temperature will be in the high 90s to low 100s for pretty much the entire summer. I find it odd of the placement of they outside mirrors. They are placed high on the door instead of at the "A" pillar like other models. It would have been nice to have had turn signal indicators in the rear view mirrors like they did two generations ago. Even on base LS trim.
Yeah, I bought a 2013 Sierra to find it had dual climate for the driver and passenger. Instead of front and rear. I didn't have turn signals on the mirrors
I appreciate your unbiased, observational reviews. We drove a Custom Trail Boss and loved it! We thought the ride quality and handling was far better than current ride... 2017 Z71. You have to go to the dealership and see vehicles in person before making a judgement whether or not you like them. That's with any brand of vehicle.
I've had my trail boss for a week and absolutely love it. I've not owned a Chevy in about 25 years due to their boring and bland designs but when I saw the trail boss - then drove it - I had to have it. This is coming from a RAM guy for over the past decade. My old 5.7 Hemi Lonestar would roast this Trail Boss in a straight line however, I can whip this Trail Boss around corners as if it's on rails. The maneuverability this truck has is incredible and is a blast to drive. I was going to pull the trigger on a '19 RAM Rebel but after driving it and comparing it to the Trail Boss, it really made my decision quite easy. I know the Rebel shines off road but for daily driving, the Trail Boss wins out IMO.
There is a lock box, and a couple trays that fit the deep center console. Under the back seat they make another long lock box that looks like a gun box. Our red 2019 Trail Boss LT came new with a Silverado black roll cage and black running boards installed. And, our side mirrors have the star&car emblems that light up to let you know a car is too close to pass or approaching alongside.
Just picked up my Trail Boss Crew LT, Black on Black! I love it! Chevy finally made a Silverado that stands out, glad they went back to round wells too. Lots of looks in this truck!
Also disappointed that GM didn’t switch out the wax undercoating. I live up north and the wax treatment doesn’t hold up. I end up undercoating my Silverado 2500 every year - an extra expense and not a sure fix either. I have to get used to the new look of the truck before casting final vote on exterior. Also interested in diesel when it officially comes out in 1500. I enjoy your reviews! Thanks.
I have say thank you for sharing this pickup with us. I do like the look of this Chevy. It’s like all new models you like it or hate it or wait a week see it grows on you . Nice review.
One thing I like about the interior is it's simple and not as distracting. That's what I hate about the other brand of trucks is the distracting center counsels and massive screens they put in certain vehicles anymore
Very nice truck. Thank you for the review. Traded my 2018 F150 for one yesterday, and the feel of the truck on the road, far surpasses the Ford. I did not think there would be that much of a ride difference. Did not try the Ram, as have had many problems over the years with them in my fleet. They do need to offer the 6.2 in everything!
The worst part of the aluminum F-150's are the warped dashes, cracked aluminum beds, unreliable vac assisted plastic 4WD hubs, and leaky plastic oil pans. Too many things to ignore on the F-150 IMO. Ford should fix the issue with warping dash plastics and offer a steel bed upgrade. They should also get rid of the IWE 4WD system because its not reliable at all.
I bought a 2018 z71 yesterday I have always bought dodge. I went to chevy for 2 reasons 1....chevy has a shifter, dodge has a knob and I hated it. 2...the 2018 Silverado actually drove like my old 2001 dodge. A good truck feel. My 2016 dodge drove like a car. Hated that too.
i just got my Trail Boss ! and i love it! except for it is too quite, so i fixed that problem with a new flomaster exhaust! now it has a rumble, and sounds great ,can hear the power now!
Personally in my opinion vehicle manufactures need to slow it way down , I understand it's businesses constantly trying to outperform each other but come on man completely redesigning a truck every every 4 years is kinda outrageous , at this rate 10+ years from now trucks will most likely not even be trucks anymore instead van looking vehicles with a bed in the back , we want big headlights , we want big grills and big hoods , trucks are starting to look weak , but manufactures just won't stop changing them constantly so looks like we're screwed
guy proulx for Toyota at least, you get one of the worst gas mileage ratings in the industry. They’ve got over a decade old power train, and if the Detroit 3 had those ratings, the EPA would go after them immediately. Where is Toyota’s pass? Plus, I worked at a Toyota dealer in service, and I wouldn’t quite say they are that much reliable compared to the competition. Whether I had worked at that dealer, or any other manufacturer dealer, the day would’ve been no different. Toyota makes a pretty good product, but I personally wouldn’t buy one thinking they’re more reliable, especially after my experience.
@guy proulx yeah except those hellcats are performance cars, and how dare you say there overpriced there is literally nothing around its price range that has that much power and speed.
watching American vid‘s, driving on the Highway and Roads and stuff is so weird, here in Europe you see like 1/100 trucks and there? A LOT OF THEM, really nice! 👍🏼
Great job Guy! That's exactly why I subscribed to your channel. Love your reviews as they are so well done . Really excited to see this truck in person at my dealership so thank you very much!
Had 1999 f150 for 15 years, about to upgrade to 2018 or 2019 f150 and decided to check out 2019Chevy just to make sure and now I own 2019 Silverado LT crew cab. Would've gone for trail boss if money wasn't an issue (10k more than LT all star package) 0% apr for 72months was cherry on the top.
I own a '14 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4 crew (5.3L). Looks like they "corrected" many of the things I DON'T like about the 2014-2018 versions. However, the 2019 interior is still boring/drab/utilitarian. Overall, there is enough improvements to "consider" trading in...but, may wait a few years and save my monthly payments. These things are expensive...even the 2014 I have. The new Trial Boss needs the 6.2L, sport steering wheel, better mirrors, and optional taller rear gearing (for pulling). Axle locks? Overall, it's decent, but it doesn't make me want to go down and check one out. Prob about $45K for that version...best guess.
“Is it worth upgrading?” Is a widely subjective question, with all due respect, and would vary by the person. I have a 2015 LT Z71 crew cab. I recently came across a heck of a deal on a 2019 RST Z71 and test drove it, as well as gave it a good look over. With that in mind, the truck is not only an upgrade in terms of model year, but also an upgrade from the actual truck I have, at a better price. The ‘19 has the spray in liner from the factory, bose system, bucket seats, leather, 20inch wheels, weather tech-like surround floor mats, dual exhaust, outlet in the bed, much smoother ride and I could go on and on. When you compare some of the other features, they seem more refined. The only drawback I have found so far is that the steering column is easier to move up and down. When I get in and out of my ‘15 I raise and Lower the steering wheel, but the ‘19 makes it a little more difficult, but that could be because it has the telescopic adjustment. Not sure if the other models have just tilt wheel or if telescopic is standard.
Messed around with a base, rst, high country, and a trailboss yesterday. They have plenty at buckalew Chevy in Conroe tx,if someone in the area wants to see the different models all at once.
In your opinion which did you like the best? I just bought a Trailboss and after reading all these comments I didn’t know half the options my truck DOESNT have we’re available on it. Hoping I can still get them installed after the fact as I would love quite a few of them!
Finally we get rounded fenders for better wheel and tire combos when we go to lift our trucks. I can barley fit 33s on my 2018 gmc canyon with a 6" lift lol
RAM and GM has certainly up the game with these new models and especially love the Trail Boss package here with the upgraded rear space (flat floor, real headrests and rear vents) and bed improvements all in a lighter package. Maybe time to upgrade our '14 F150 Lariat but looking at the specs, I only see a 24 Gallon gas tank and no towing mirrors yet? Will they be offering an optional mid-30s tank version for us towing types at some point? I'm sure the aftermarket will help with the tow mirror snap-ons at least, but factory would be a lot nicer. Would love the 6.2L option in this package as well.
Their not rock crawlers The Raptor is a consumer Baja/desert runner, and the Rebel, Trailboss and AT4 are for trails a little rougher than gravel roads
VIDEO SUGGESTION can you do a video on Regen, DEF, EGR, i.e. all things diesel emissions? What about fuel and air filters? You mentioned you should only get diesel gas in certain places before. Want to know what you experience has been, how many times your truck regens, and how to avoid DEF issues. A hot topic right now is where to get your DEF fluid. Given all these things, buying a diesel truck scares me so I am leaning towards the 6.2L gas. I'm hoping Ford eventually puts turbos in their gas engines for the F250. Thanks!
Trail boss looks amazing in silver. Really liking this new redesign. Test drove a LT model last weekend and was impressed. Really going to consider this and the Sierra in the next year or two.
Thank you for your reviews on this truck . Ive actually been watching review videos of trucks and SUVs because this year I am getting one of them but I’m still in the study mode from reviewers like you and from friends who have Been truck owners for years . The only thing I didn’t like about this truck is the seat belt having no adjustments to the height , the rest is tolerable for me . This is just my humble opinion and I don’t speak for the rest and I don’t pretend I know more about vehicles than others .
The styling on that truck is growing on me... when i first saw it, I was like "ok... that looks really weird but maybe its bad angle.." the thing that most threw me off it was that weird body crease along the side that ends on the front doors. Normally, I'm just not a fan of the soft curve on what is otherwise a vary angular body. I don't know why, but now I like it more then the GMC.. Fun fact: they made a different door skin for the GMC to reverse that crease to further differentiate the trucks.. They never do that for trucks. (and usually avoid it even on platform shared cars when they can.) I don't think the Cadillac Escalade got anything more then a different plastic trim section on the door... far less then the entire skin of the door being reshaped. This was one of the things I actually did not like.. and still not a fan on.. If I have to replace the door for whatever reason.. Now I have to also look out to find a specific brand too. But it might make sense they are doing this if the cost of stamping out aluminum parts is cheaper then steel parts. I don't think I like the styling of a Chevy truck as much as this one since the 1988-1999 Chevy body series. it hits me in the same way the 1994 dodge ram redesign does. nothing really inside the truck changed much... but the new artist really did a good job of bring out a element not seen in the vehicle before.
Hey, I worked on the brake controller for this one. What you think about it? It's a vacuum free brake booster/controller. Hopefully in your long term you could comment on brake pedal feel, confidence, etc. I enjoy your videos as an engineer in the auto industry.
bon bon: I really liked the driving dynamics of this truck. I will focus some more attention on the braking system when I get my long term truck. Thanks and great work.
James Beaman so many challenges... So since this is a half brake by wire system in the case of all lost power (very unlikely) you will still have hydraulic braking it will just feel like if a conventional system lost its vacuum line somehow. Also since this is a massive truck in the case of an emergency we activate park brake motors to act like brakes. Another challenge was pedal feel. People are so used to conventional pedal feel that this system would seem broken when it is really just fine. So we spent a lot of effort trying to get that pedal feel just like a normal system
Thanks, good stuff! As a project engineer in another industry, that's a question I wish more auto industry interviewers would ask when they get the vehicle engineers on camera.Since you are in the brake area, any thoughts on why Toyota continues to stick with rear drums on the Tacoma TRD?
Good point, Big (mind if I call you Big?), about Ike Gauntlet. Wha', about 7 miles of steep road out of millions of USA miles? I like the tests, but seems all trucks handle it pretty good these days. Oh me, that seat belt kills a deal for me! Got to be able to adjust it!! Heart pacemaker.
Taka Yama That’s the great thing about UA-cam. Every reviewer has their method or style of how they review vehicles so you get many different perspectives. Towing was very important to me but I also like BTBRV videos and the things he points out.
You and I both being being from Corpus Christi I kind'a grinned when you mentioned a feature that I noticed a few weeks ago, fish gills on the front of the fenders at the bumper. Your test drives and drives in general are in the area where I lived when I was a kid. SPID at Kostoryz, Weber. etc. Anyway, I do appreciate your non biased reviews. I will comment that the new GM 2019 trucks look more like a refresh, their interiors still just look "DRAB". I like the rear seat back storage but nothing else compels me to go back to Chevrolet. I currently drive a Tundra and Toyota seems to be missing the mark too, falling way behind on creature comforts. As your Ram review points out I think the one to beat in 2019 is the Ram.
I worked in the automotive industry most of my career, actually 20 years with GM service and parts. Anything from Chrysler was never looked at as reliable. BUT now that Fiat has stepped in and Ram is it's own division the Ram truck division is no longer being treated as the rad headed step child. Lately. comparing 2018 models Consumer reports rates the Ram as being more reliable than the GM's offerings and better than Ford. Toyota still takes top honors by a land slide. BUT if you are not introducing anything new, it is easy to build reliability.
Looking at US News reviews, which takes pretty much all reviews published and averages them, the 2018 Ram had a 3 out of 5 reliability rating, while the 2018 Silverado had a 4.5, as did the '18 Tundra.
Hello again Big T! Oh yea I agree I really like this new Chevy! That is exactly how I would buy one, but not yet sure if the LT upgrade is worth the extra $$. I will have to see the built it yourself on line before I make that call. I might even wait till the InLine Duramax Diesel is released, to see my travel towing options with that package. But I will try to limit myself to keep it under 50k! I know the list prices on these are high, but I've never seen anyone ever pay full retail on a Silverado, even if special ordered, as I might actually do. Money no object, I would buy either a loaded LTZ Heavy Duty Tow Package, in Tri-Coat Pearl White, or an LTZ Z71, 6.2., if possible, then add my own leveling kit. That all depends on one thing, that is does the Trail Boss lift ad any suspension travel? Or just hight? If so I'll go with the factory package, if not ill look to the aftermarket for more travel. I'm not so sure yet, it all conditions s down to the bottom line at the time. But it will be either of these four. In order Chevy, Ram, Titan, Ford. Not even yet sure of HD or 1/2 ton. I would really rather buy a Diesel ZR2 Crew Cab, but they're so dam expensive! Unless I'm lucky enough to find one that's under 45 K or so! Cause I could get a decent half ton, or even HD or Titan for that price! It is really a dilemma.
I can't believe how vehicle manufacturers continue to nickel and dime you. What's the list on this truck, $50,000? And I noticed there's no rear wheel liners. Seems to me, if you are going off road, you would want liners to deaden the noise and protect the fenders. I won't even get going on the insipid "auto start/stop" button. I'm so glad that I bought my 2017 Silverado LTZ Z71 when I did. Get to the dealer and buy up the 2018's while you can.
Agreed! I have an 2001 half ton that I passed down to my son and a 2017. Don't care for all the bells and whistles on the new rigs, and having an actual key is nice is you happen to drown your key fob while on/in the river! Auto tailgate, push start, giant infotainment centers...lol. I wanted a work truck but it was almost impossible to find one with the 5.3 instead of a 6.
it's funny my 2014 4.3 v6 Silverado out pulled my buddy's small block 5.3 v8 Silverado we both couldn't understand it ! especially the gas mileage I get is awesome glad I went with the 300hp 4.3
I agree newer trucks are basically body on frame cars. The frames are pretty weak since they have to meet crash test standards. The front ends are all plastic and/or flimsy metal. Newer trucks are much safer for their occupants though.
I have a 2016 High Country and I drive less than 5 k a year so I purchase new vehicles every 60k. But I’m very pleased with my current truck so I’m sure I will make General Motors truck number 6. And I’m also not a sunroof man. I have a new 2SS Camaro convertible for that.
I recently brought a 16 1500 Silverado Z71. I personally like the looks of the 2016-2018 generation better than the 2019s. The interior is basically the same but with less buttons in the console in the 16s-18s which I like less knobs anyways. I like the running LEDs better in mine, the whole front end to me looks way better. I’m not a fan of the round wheel wells really or the integrated rectangular exhaust tips in the rear bumper. I think it’s pointless to have a automatic tailgate that can lift itself I don’t see the point however I do like that they come with the assisted tailgate release though to avoid slamming your gate. I do like the rear seat hidden storage though in the 19s and the under the seat storage. In mine you can fold the rear seats up but there’s no storage box under the seat like in the new ones. I’m not a fan of the full console either I like the lift up console that turns the seat into a bench seat. I do like that they mine has lights for the bed that are under the bed rails as well as the rear cab light. One thing I realized in mine is that it’s a pain to change the air filter the housing comes with 4 8mm/flat head screws that are long and a cross bar has to be removed first to even take the whole cover off smh. I’m definitely a fan of the v4 mode who doesn’t like to save gas? I also like that the 19s have individual outside door handle lock buttons. Overall I like the new chevys but the only ones that look decent are the trail bosses but they need a bigger wheel setup and they look awesome not so much stock.
Do you know if Ranch Hand will be able to make a front and back bumper for this? The gills and exhausts have to make it tough. Would be a shame if they couldn’t. Don’t think I can go without having ranch hands on the front and back.
On 18s they actually come out to less then 30 true outside diameter on new tires, what can I say, I own a tape measure and even keep my tire pressure high.
I actually dig the design of this truck, but I would prefer a smaller double cab with a longer 6.5' bed. I love those wheels and tires, and the blacked out front. The interior is meh, but it seems to have all the important features. While most are not thrilled about the 5.3L engine, I am assuming that it is tried and true and will probably still be running at the end of time.
Just a word of caution - the new 2019 Silverado-Sierra twins can’t be ordered or does Not come with the power brake and foot pedal adjuster. This is normally a pretty standard option for most trucks (GM, Ram, Ford)...I own a 2017 Silverado, but some “bean counter” within GM axed this very useful feature......why?
I purchased a new black 2019 Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss 2 weeks ago. But i can't figure out how the DFM works on this new truck because it doesn't show anywhere in the dash. On the previous model (2018 or 2017), it shows V4 and V8 in the dash when drive on highway. If anyone know, please help!
GM is the only company that had two different truck classes. Why? Silverado has the cooler Trailboss name but the GMC has the All Terrain-4 (AT4) and the 6.2L which is a beast in comparison to the weak willed 5.3L. Honestly only the AT4 matches the Rebel in it's power and design.
Another great review as usual! It's a great looking truck and I'm glad to see that GM is putting more effort into the interior, specifically the inclusion of air vents and proper head rests in the back seat. I really wish that they would go with an e-coated frame though as the wax coating would be a deal killer for me up here in Northwestern Illinois. Did you happen to notice if the steering wheel is still offset? That always struck me as problematic from a long term ownership standpoint. Thank you. Regards, Tom
Another fantastic video sir! Seems as though GM had a more conservative approach when redesigning the interior on this truck! In my opinion, it's all about bang for your buck! So, if the price of these new Silverados don't reflect the subtle changes or lack thereof, I'd go with Ram or Ford because you're getting more for the same money! I'm a Ram guy and absolutely love the look of this new Silverado!
Love the exterior, they finally dumped those square wheel wells. The interior, it still looks a bit simplistic, almost on the level of a work truck interior. Maybe I need to get out and see one in person but I am simply exhausted of looking at black or gray interiors, does GM offer a two-tone using colors other than black and/or gray with reasonable looking contrasts?
I saw that on their website. I like the brown but it is surrounded by too much (ug) black. I know it is subjective but I'd be more inclined to purchase if the interior was available with other than black as the main color.
Spacers = lame. No manual transfercase = lame. Is that still a C clipped rear diff with ZR-2 crappy shock mounts? (sorry no clue on that as I know its a 1/2) Front and rear lockers? Meh, Ford and RAM still kicks its' ass. Power Wagon, Raptor. (little apples to oranges, but they are serious off-roaders, depending on the terrain that is desired) 5.3? Please. The Bean Counters at GM really need to be replaced. FCA is kicking your ass.
I'm disappointed GM decided to leave off the large wireless phone charging pad in the center console on the base Trail Boss despite adding it to the base level GMC AT4. They also gave the GMC AT4 the upgraded, foldable tailgate.

I'm a little confused as to why some folks think I took a swipe at TFL. In no way did I. In fact, I watch their channel often. They subject trucks to extremes that I don't have access to here in South Texas. They are the go to source for towing related information and provide some outstanding content. My comment about the Ike Gauntlet was to point out that my reviews are different than theirs, but in no way implying that mine are better. Some folks need to stop seeing negative in everything. Thanks for watching both channels.
I value both channels (BTBRV AND TFL)opinions. Each has a unique style and different perspective which I find useful and entertaining.
Its just butthurt keyboard millennials that's all it is. Built up frustration has to go somewhere. I don't go up the IKE either or anything near that elevation unless its a rare vacation.
I just heard you say the i-80 gountlet and thought to myself, oh I drive that a few times a year, I had no idea that it was a "thing" that people that don't live in my area knew about
Haters man, I thought it was an awesome video and SICK truck!! THX!!
Funny you should mention regional access.... I am curious if your dislike of sunroofs is a regional thing too? Do you get too much sun with a sunroof down there?
I have a '05 Silverado, and coming up on 200k miles. Runs fine, and I'm not spending my Retirement!
Just test drive it.
RedReign probably not the entirety of it
Redreign;
Kinda mean comment bub.
1: you don’t know his age.
2: Don’t know his employment
3: Don’t know how much he makes.
Based off those facts you can’t determine how much he has saved up for his retirement.
Exactly right! You don't know diddley squat about me! Been working for 40 years, and looking forward to retirement, if you need to know. Happy now?
I use to build these at Fort Wayne Indiana. You’d be amazed what goes into launching a new model truck. Now i am building making the engine block
yes yes yes, air vents in the back seat for my baby girl has been a huge selling point with me when I was looking for a knew rig.
I've owned a Trail Boss for a month now, very comfortable and smooth ride, still getting used to it and breaking it in. Hope it lasts as long as my other Silverados. 2008-242k and 1995 289k. Seems to avg 17 mpg so far, but with only 1000 miles on it, it's obviously early.
I am one who loves the simple interior. I'm happy for it.
Bryan E I agree simple but ugly. By far the ugliest interior on a truck.
Bryan E agreed. I’m coming from a 2004 Toyota Camry as a daily driver. I’ve owned a 2017 Mini Cooper for two years now and still have trouble just using the stinking radio when driving. I love my Camry. Simple is just enjoyable, in my opinion.
@@carloscortez1442 Yea like you can even afford a ram 1500 limited hell not even this truck🙄 dumbass
Yep I like it too
So gentlemen, u like your stuff simple huh and request chevy to keep it simple. Do u consider it fair for costumers to pay for a high end luxury vehicle amd not get the luxury? I mean, you r paying for it, might as well get it. And for you to say "oh, well, i prefer my truck simple". Gentlemen, every single truck and every brand has a standard model, the most cheapest and simple one. Get that damn standard one and let the others enjoy luxury on the high end! Wouldnt you call that fair?
Every truck you drive is going to be smooth becuse the truck you just got out of is an F450 its what your used to
Chris Speer: lol, yeah you're probably right.
I wasn’t a fan of the front end, and the redesign, but it’s actually growing on me. Saw a trailboss in a dark grey, and it looked great. I highly misjudged this truck. I’m more of a Ford guy, but I like the Silverados. I think I still like the 14s through 18s better, but this is growing on me.
I am glad they brought back the rear air conditioning vents. I sold GM and Chevy in 2007-2008 and Chevy 2010-2014. That was one of the complaints from the previous GM owners. The trucks they had before had it. But the models previous to this didn't have it. That is a huge selling point here in central California where temperature will be in the high 90s to low 100s for pretty much the entire summer. I find it odd of the placement of they outside mirrors. They are placed high on the door instead of at the "A" pillar like other models. It would have been nice to have had turn signal indicators in the rear view mirrors like they did two generations ago. Even on base LS trim.
Yeah, I bought a 2013 Sierra to find it had dual climate for the driver and passenger. Instead of front and rear. I didn't have turn signals on the mirrors
they should n have taken the rear seat ac heat vents out what were they thinking especially in really hot and cold climates
I like how you gave a very honest an unbiased review. So many reviewers that have a Ford or a Ram give really biased reviews.
Good looking truck. Front end styling is growing on me.
I'm buying a Silverado lt 2.7 4×4 in a few days 34k what a deal!
I appreciate your unbiased, observational reviews. We drove a Custom Trail Boss and loved it! We thought the ride quality and handling was far better than current ride... 2017 Z71. You have to go to the dealership and see vehicles in person before making a judgement whether or not you like them. That's with any brand of vehicle.
Finally a detailed review of the truck I want in the exact trim and color!
The truck my dad is getting. What a beauty
He is gonna love it.
@larry099 have u seen one in person?
I've had my trail boss for a week and absolutely love it. I've not owned a Chevy in about 25 years due to their boring and bland designs but when I saw the trail boss - then drove it - I had to have it. This is coming from a RAM guy for over the past decade. My old 5.7 Hemi Lonestar would roast this Trail Boss in a straight line however, I can whip this Trail Boss around corners as if it's on rails. The maneuverability this truck has is incredible and is a blast to drive. I was going to pull the trigger on a '19 RAM Rebel but after driving it and comparing it to the Trail Boss, it really made my decision quite easy. I know the Rebel shines off road but for daily driving, the Trail Boss wins out IMO.
There is a lock box, and a couple trays that fit the deep center console. Under the back seat they make another long lock box that looks like a gun box. Our red 2019 Trail Boss LT came new with a Silverado black roll cage and black running boards installed. And, our side mirrors have the star&car emblems that light up to let you know a car is too close to pass or approaching alongside.
Just picked up my Trail Boss Crew LT, Black on Black! I love it! Chevy finally made a Silverado that stands out, glad they went back to round wells too. Lots of looks in this truck!
Joe Nowak what mpg are you getting ?
I've got one Satin metallic. I drive miles a day 60/40 highway city. I am getting 20mpg average.
I got a work truck so mine sits at home a lot so I drive mine more leisurely/city driving but I average 14-16mpg around town
Also disappointed that GM didn’t switch out the wax undercoating. I live up north and the wax treatment doesn’t hold up. I end up undercoating my Silverado 2500 every year - an extra expense and not a sure fix either.
I have to get used to the new look of the truck before casting final vote on exterior. Also interested in diesel when it officially comes out in 1500.
I enjoy your reviews! Thanks.
Hey man, i live in CT , i use Spray Cosmoline on the frame and fluid film on the rest. There is nothing like it.
I have say thank you for sharing this pickup with us.
I do like the look of this Chevy.
It’s like all new models you like it or hate it or wait a week see it grows on you .
Nice review.
The look has grown on me. It was a huge change to adjust to but now I actually like it. Even the door mirrors.
Wow I'm kinda upset you did such a good job reviewing that truck I now want that new trail boss over my new ford f150 . . .
who wouldnt??
One thing I like about the interior is it's simple and not as distracting. That's what I hate about the other brand of trucks is the distracting center counsels and massive screens they put in certain vehicles anymore
TRAILBOSS MY NEXT TRUCK IN TRIPLE BLACK!
What's triple black?
@@american_chevy616 all black I imagine
@@brxttz that's what the midnight edition is.
BigRed Made In America triple is black dash board, black interior and black paint.
@@Iwtni06 the midnight edition is all black. No such thing as triple black.
Very nice truck. Thank you for the review. Traded my 2018 F150 for one yesterday, and the feel of the truck on the road, far surpasses the Ford. I did not think there would be that much of a ride difference. Did not try the Ram, as have had many problems over the years with them in my fleet. They do need to offer the 6.2 in everything!
Wha'?! Traded a 2018 for a 2019?! Dealers love you! I agree about the 6.2.
Get a cummins like a real man
The worst part of the aluminum F-150's are the warped dashes, cracked aluminum beds, unreliable vac assisted plastic 4WD hubs, and leaky plastic oil pans. Too many things to ignore on the F-150 IMO. Ford should fix the issue with warping dash plastics and offer a steel bed upgrade. They should also get rid of the IWE 4WD system because its not reliable at all.
@@jaydenbmx3781 The Titan Cummins?
Yes, but the important thing to remember here is he got RID of the Ford...just sayin.
I bought a 2018 z71 yesterday
I have always bought dodge.
I went to chevy for 2 reasons
1....chevy has a shifter, dodge has a knob and I hated it.
2...the 2018 Silverado actually drove like my old 2001 dodge. A good truck feel.
My 2016 dodge drove like a car.
Hated that too.
i just got my Trail Boss ! and i love it! except for it is too quite, so i fixed that problem with a new flomaster exhaust! now it has a rumble, and sounds great ,can hear the power now!
fa181951 how much are your montly payments? I pay 750 on my 17’, wondering how much more this would be !
For 5 year term be like 450 a month for a crew cab with center console and cloth seats lool. They pricey. Can get cheaper models like double cabs tho
I love the new chevy trucks. That trail boss is totally awesome
Just got the Sierra AT4 and I love it! The trail boss is just as good! If the Trail Boss had a 6.2 I would have gotten that. Great review :)
I got a trail boss. It's not slow , not 6.2 power. But it's damn quick. Motor trend says 6.1 second 0-60
In 2020 Chevy will be bringing the 6.2 option to the Custom Trailboss and LT Trailboss
@@tggregory3274 I've heard custom only. Not LT
Huge price difference on these two as well. That at4 is expensive
@@tggregory3274 yep will be getting my 6.2 L Trailboss in about 2 weeks
2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD High Country with the Duramax...it's the only way to go!
Love the break dwn...im in a 2015...love the bck vents...wish they also would have put them in ceiling also
Personally in my opinion vehicle manufactures need to slow it way down , I understand it's businesses constantly trying to outperform each other but come on man completely redesigning a truck every every 4 years is kinda outrageous , at this rate 10+ years from now trucks will most likely not even be trucks anymore instead van looking vehicles with a bed in the back , we want big headlights , we want big grills and big hoods , trucks are starting to look weak , but manufactures just won't stop changing them constantly so looks like we're screwed
guy proulx for Toyota at least, you get one of the worst gas mileage ratings in the industry. They’ve got over a decade old power train, and if the Detroit 3 had those ratings, the EPA would go after them immediately. Where is Toyota’s pass? Plus, I worked at a Toyota dealer in service, and I wouldn’t quite say they are that much reliable compared to the competition. Whether I had worked at that dealer, or any other manufacturer dealer, the day would’ve been no different. Toyota makes a pretty good product, but I personally wouldn’t buy one thinking they’re more reliable, especially after my experience.
@guy proulx yeah except those hellcats are performance cars, and how dare you say there overpriced there is literally nothing around its price range that has that much power and speed.
@guy proulx yes like every other modern car everything snaps on
I agree! Design wise they are heading in the wrong direction.
Gm usually has small makeovers in the middle of the generation. Usually it results in a lot better looking car
Always enjoy your videos! We found the trail boss to be quite capable offroad as well!
watching American vid‘s, driving on the Highway and Roads and stuff is so weird, here in Europe you see like 1/100 trucks and there? A LOT OF THEM, really nice! 👍🏼
Wow I drive past that dealership every day to work in banquette TX.
Nice truck. It looks better in black because of the black grill
Great job Guy! That's exactly why I subscribed to your channel. Love your reviews as they are so well done . Really excited to see this truck in person at my dealership so thank you very much!
Had 1999 f150 for 15 years, about to upgrade to 2018 or 2019 f150 and decided to check out 2019Chevy just to make sure and now I own 2019 Silverado LT crew cab. Would've gone for trail boss if money wasn't an issue (10k more than LT all star package) 0% apr for 72months was cherry on the top.
unbelievable the cost of pickups, now they look and ride like cars. amazing the direction the industry is going.
Thanks for the review I looked at a red trail boss today...it had" custom " on the tailgate. It's a nice truck!
Yeah , I’ve never had a Chevy but I have seen them and like them . I think this is what I’m going to get ...
I own a '14 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4 crew (5.3L). Looks like they "corrected" many of the things I DON'T like about the 2014-2018 versions. However, the 2019 interior is still boring/drab/utilitarian. Overall, there is enough improvements to "consider" trading in...but, may wait a few years and save my monthly payments. These things are expensive...even the 2014 I have. The new Trial Boss needs the 6.2L, sport steering wheel, better mirrors, and optional taller rear gearing (for pulling). Axle locks? Overall, it's decent, but it doesn't make me want to go down and check one out. Prob about $45K for that version...best guess.
Truck looks really good. Saw a black on black one - looked real good. Just needs a 3 - 5 inch lift. Interior looks good and it’s well laid out.
“Is it worth upgrading?” Is a widely subjective question, with all due respect, and would vary by the person. I have a 2015 LT Z71 crew cab. I recently came across a heck of a deal on a 2019 RST Z71 and test drove it, as well as gave it a good look over. With that in mind, the truck is not only an upgrade in terms of model year, but also an upgrade from the actual truck I have, at a better price. The ‘19 has the spray in liner from the factory, bose system, bucket seats, leather, 20inch wheels, weather tech-like surround floor mats, dual exhaust, outlet in the bed, much smoother ride and I could go on and on. When you compare some of the other features, they seem more refined. The only drawback I have found so far is that the steering column is easier to move up and down. When I get in and out of my ‘15 I raise and Lower the steering wheel, but the ‘19 makes it a little more difficult, but that could be because it has the telescopic adjustment. Not sure if the other models have just tilt wheel or if telescopic is standard.
Messed around with a base, rst, high country, and a trailboss yesterday. They have plenty at buckalew Chevy in Conroe tx,if someone in the area wants to see the different models all at once.
In your opinion which did you like the best? I just bought a Trailboss and after reading all these comments I didn’t know half the options my truck DOESNT have we’re available on it. Hoping I can still get them installed after the fact as I would love quite a few of them!
Finally we get rounded fenders for better wheel and tire combos when we go to lift our trucks. I can barley fit 33s on my 2018 gmc canyon with a 6" lift lol
Nice review and nice truck ! Just so you know with the suspension the front is a full spring strut lift but the back is just a block.
That Chevy 5.3l V8 is tried and true. Reliable and plenty of power (even better once the AFM is disabled).
You thought they were gonna transition to a fully e-coated frame, "but they're sticking to this" ahhhh I see what you did there hahahaha
RAM and GM has certainly up the game with these new models and especially love the Trail Boss package here with the upgraded rear space (flat floor, real headrests and rear vents) and bed improvements all in a lighter package. Maybe time to upgrade our '14 F150 Lariat but looking at the specs, I only see a 24 Gallon gas tank and no towing mirrors yet? Will they be offering an optional mid-30s tank version for us towing types at some point? I'm sure the aftermarket will help with the tow mirror snap-ons at least, but factory would be a lot nicer. Would love the 6.2L option in this package as well.
I also think all trucks should come standard with tow mirrors with the option for what I call non tow mirrors
Majority of the truck owners drive on a paved road. Most of the reviews are about climbing rocks. A big disconnect.
Their not rock crawlers
The Raptor is a consumer Baja/desert runner, and the Rebel, Trailboss and AT4 are for trails a little rougher than gravel roads
VIDEO SUGGESTION can you do a video on Regen, DEF, EGR, i.e. all things diesel emissions? What about fuel and air filters? You mentioned you should only get diesel gas in certain places before. Want to know what you experience has been, how many times your truck regens, and how to avoid DEF issues. A hot topic right now is where to get your DEF fluid. Given all these things, buying a diesel truck scares me so I am leaning towards the 6.2L gas. I'm hoping Ford eventually puts turbos in their gas engines for the F250. Thanks!
Trail boss looks amazing in silver. Really liking this new redesign. Test drove a LT model last weekend and was impressed. Really going to consider this and the Sierra in the next year or two.
Thank you for your reviews on this truck . Ive actually been watching review videos of trucks and SUVs because this year I am getting one of them but I’m still in the study mode from reviewers like you and from friends who have Been truck owners for years . The only thing I didn’t like about this truck is the seat belt having no adjustments to the height , the rest is tolerable for me . This is just my humble opinion and I don’t speak for the rest and I don’t pretend I know more about vehicles than others .
You should do a video on the front vent gills as you called them when in muddy conditions. It looks like those will get full of mud!
Trail boss looks way better than other models
The styling on that truck is growing on me... when i first saw it, I was like "ok... that looks really weird but maybe its bad angle.." the thing that most threw me off it was that weird body crease along the side that ends on the front doors. Normally, I'm just not a fan of the soft curve on what is otherwise a vary angular body. I don't know why, but now I like it more then the GMC..
Fun fact: they made a different door skin for the GMC to reverse that crease to further differentiate the trucks.. They never do that for trucks. (and usually avoid it even on platform shared cars when they can.) I don't think the Cadillac Escalade got anything more then a different plastic trim section on the door... far less then the entire skin of the door being reshaped. This was one of the things I actually did not like.. and still not a fan on.. If I have to replace the door for whatever reason.. Now I have to also look out to find a specific brand too. But it might make sense they are doing this if the cost of stamping out aluminum parts is cheaper then steel parts.
I don't think I like the styling of a Chevy truck as much as this one since the 1988-1999 Chevy body series. it hits me in the same way the 1994 dodge ram redesign does. nothing really inside the truck changed much... but the new artist really did a good job of bring out a element not seen in the vehicle before.
I'm sold! I want to upgrade my older Chevy 1 ton dually now just for the interior upgrades, especially the hand hold for the driver side now.
Hey, I worked on the brake controller for this one. What you think about it? It's a vacuum free brake booster/controller. Hopefully in your long term you could comment on brake pedal feel, confidence, etc. I enjoy your videos as an engineer in the auto industry.
bon bon: I really liked the driving dynamics of this truck. I will focus some more attention on the braking system when I get my long term truck. Thanks and great work.
bon bon, if you don't mind sharing, what were some of the challenges you and the team had to overcome on this braking system design?
James Beaman so many challenges... So since this is a half brake by wire system in the case of all lost power (very unlikely) you will still have hydraulic braking it will just feel like if a conventional system lost its vacuum line somehow. Also since this is a massive truck in the case of an emergency we activate park brake motors to act like brakes.
Another challenge was pedal feel. People are so used to conventional pedal feel that this system would seem broken when it is really just fine. So we spent a lot of effort trying to get that pedal feel just like a normal system
Thanks, good stuff! As a project engineer in another industry, that's a question I wish more auto industry interviewers would ask when they get the vehicle engineers on camera.Since you are in the brake area, any thoughts on why Toyota continues to stick with rear drums on the Tacoma TRD?
awesome looking truck.
Good point, Big (mind if I call you Big?), about Ike Gauntlet. Wha', about 7 miles of steep road out of millions of USA miles? I like the tests, but seems all trucks handle it pretty good these days. Oh me, that seat belt kills a deal for me! Got to be able to adjust it!! Heart pacemaker.
Taka Yama That’s the great thing about UA-cam. Every reviewer has their method or style of how they review vehicles so you get many different perspectives. Towing was very important to me but I also like BTBRV videos and the things he points out.
I will get one Chevrolet Silverado for sure!!!! Love this truck 😊😘😘😘😘😘
I would think the slot and upright would be for phone placement?
had mine for two months, and been at the dealer more than me at the drs office
U made me watch the whole video all was good but u left out the most important thing how much was that friggin Trail Boss
You and I both being being from Corpus Christi I kind'a grinned when you mentioned a feature that I noticed a few weeks ago, fish gills on the front of the fenders at the bumper. Your test drives and drives in general are in the area where I lived when I was a kid. SPID at Kostoryz, Weber. etc.
Anyway, I do appreciate your non biased reviews. I will comment that the new GM 2019 trucks look more like a refresh, their interiors still just look "DRAB". I like the rear seat back storage but nothing else compels me to go back to Chevrolet. I currently drive a Tundra and Toyota seems to be missing the mark too, falling way behind on creature comforts. As your Ram review points out I think the one to beat in 2019 is the Ram.
RAM is the nicest, but no way I trust their reliability. A new Tundra would be best, but till then, I think the Silverado is a great compromise.
I worked in the automotive industry most of my career, actually 20 years with GM service and parts. Anything from Chrysler was never looked at as reliable. BUT now that Fiat has stepped in and Ram is it's own division the Ram truck division is no longer being treated as the rad headed step child. Lately. comparing 2018 models Consumer reports rates the Ram as being more reliable than the GM's offerings and better than Ford. Toyota still takes top honors by a land slide. BUT if you are not introducing anything new, it is easy to build reliability.
LOL, The Ram is on the top of the list so far.
My list. I am currently working down to a short list of trucks to consider.
Looking at US News reviews, which takes pretty much all reviews published and averages them, the 2018 Ram had a 3 out of 5 reliability rating, while the 2018 Silverado had a 4.5, as did the '18 Tundra.
I went from hating the look of this truck when it was first released to loving it. If the 5.3L had near the hp of my Ram, I would trade for it
You can get the 6.2l. But not for this trim
The other trims don’t looks as nice in my opinion. It’s also a matter price. The 6.2 upgrade isn’t worth the price either
My next truck will definitely be a 3/4 ton or 1 ton SRW. I have a 13 Silverado 1/2 ton now.
Hello again Big T! Oh yea I agree I really like this new Chevy! That is exactly how I would buy one, but not yet sure if the LT upgrade is worth the extra $$. I will have to see the built it yourself on line before I make that call. I might even wait till the InLine Duramax Diesel is released, to see my travel towing options with that package. But I will try to limit myself to keep it under 50k! I know the list prices on these are high, but I've never seen anyone ever pay full retail on a Silverado, even if special ordered, as I might actually do. Money no object, I would buy either a loaded LTZ Heavy Duty Tow Package, in Tri-Coat Pearl White, or an LTZ Z71, 6.2., if possible, then add my own leveling kit. That all depends on one thing, that is does the Trail Boss lift ad any suspension travel? Or just hight? If so I'll go with the factory package, if not ill look to the aftermarket for more travel. I'm not so sure yet, it all conditions s down to the bottom line at the time. But it will be either of these four. In order Chevy, Ram, Titan, Ford. Not even yet sure of HD or 1/2 ton. I would really rather buy a Diesel ZR2 Crew Cab, but they're so dam expensive! Unless I'm lucky enough to find one that's under 45 K or so! Cause I could get a decent half ton, or even HD or Titan for that price! It is really a dilemma.
Thank you for an honest non bias fake review.
I can't believe how vehicle manufacturers continue to nickel and dime you. What's the list on this truck, $50,000? And I noticed there's no rear wheel liners. Seems to me, if you are going off road, you would want liners to deaden the noise and protect the fenders. I won't even get going on the insipid "auto start/stop" button. I'm so glad that I bought my 2017 Silverado LTZ Z71 when I did. Get to the dealer and buy up the 2018's while you can.
Agreed! I have an 2001 half ton that I passed down to my son and a 2017. Don't care for all the bells and whistles on the new rigs, and having an actual key is nice is you happen to drown your key fob while on/in the river! Auto tailgate, push start, giant infotainment centers...lol. I wanted a work truck but it was almost impossible to find one with the 5.3 instead of a 6.
it's funny my 2014 4.3 v6 Silverado out pulled my buddy's small block 5.3 v8 Silverado we both couldn't understand it ! especially the gas mileage I get is awesome glad I went with the 300hp 4.3
Probably different rpms. The v6 probably makes its peak torque at a lower rpm
I wish trucks were still trucks!
But this Ford tundra is nice.
I agree newer trucks are basically body on frame cars. The frames are pretty weak since they have to meet crash test standards. The front ends are all plastic and/or flimsy metal. Newer trucks are much safer for their occupants though.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q weak frames? Shut up you idiot. You're talking nonsense
I have a 2016 High Country and I drive less than 5 k a year so I purchase new vehicles every 60k. But I’m very pleased with my current truck so I’m sure I will make General Motors truck number 6. And I’m also not a sunroof man. I have a new 2SS Camaro convertible for that.
I recently brought a 16 1500 Silverado Z71. I personally like the looks of the 2016-2018 generation better than the 2019s. The interior is basically the same but with less buttons in the console in the 16s-18s which I like less knobs anyways. I like the running LEDs better in mine, the whole front end to me looks way better. I’m not a fan of the round wheel wells really or the integrated rectangular exhaust tips in the rear bumper. I think it’s pointless to have a automatic tailgate that can lift itself I don’t see the point however I do like that they come with the assisted tailgate release though to avoid slamming your gate. I do like the rear seat hidden storage though in the 19s and the under the seat storage. In mine you can fold the rear seats up but there’s no storage box under the seat like in the new ones. I’m not a fan of the full console either I like the lift up console that turns the seat into a bench seat. I do like that they mine has lights for the bed that are under the bed rails as well as the rear cab light. One thing I realized in mine is that it’s a pain to change the air filter the housing comes with 4 8mm/flat head screws that are long and a cross bar has to be removed first to even take the whole cover off smh. I’m definitely a fan of the v4 mode who doesn’t like to save gas? I also like that the 19s have individual outside door handle lock buttons. Overall I like the new chevys but the only ones that look decent are the trail bosses but they need a bigger wheel setup and they look awesome not so much stock.
That's a beautiful Silverado right there
I need to get you a Big Red decal for your Big Red, I have one on mine.
Great Review.
Do you know if Ranch Hand will be able to make a front and back bumper for this? The gills and exhausts have to make it tough. Would be a shame if they couldn’t. Don’t think I can go without having ranch hands on the front and back.
Great quick review. Thanks BTBRV.
I just can’t bring myself to like the exterior of this truck in my opinion the 14/15 was perfect
You do very unbiased reviews
I try to. Some disagree though.
Man, those 32" tires look so small. This thing needs some 35s or 37s.
Those are 33s
They are 33’s, 37’s wow good luck with that 5.3 and 10mpg if your lucky.
Rusty Nail those are not 33s they’re 32s...
They are infact 32’s. 275/65/18 which translates to 32.1 inches in height.
On 18s they actually come out to less then 30 true outside diameter on new tires, what can I say, I own a tape measure and even keep my tire pressure high.
After I pay of my GMC I'm gonna look for a good used trail boss. I love these trucks.
I actually dig the design of this truck, but I would prefer a smaller double cab with a longer 6.5' bed. I love those wheels and tires, and the blacked out front. The interior is meh, but it seems to have all the important features. While most are not thrilled about the 5.3L engine, I am assuming that it is tried and true and will probably still be running at the end of time.
Finally the steering wheel is no longer offset
Just a word of caution - the new 2019 Silverado-Sierra twins can’t be ordered or does Not come with the power brake and foot pedal adjuster. This is normally a pretty standard option for most trucks (GM, Ram, Ford)...I own a 2017 Silverado, but some “bean counter” within GM axed this very useful feature......why?
I purchased a new black 2019 Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss 2 weeks ago. But i can't figure out how the DFM works on this new truck because it doesn't show anywhere in the dash. On the previous model (2018 or 2017), it shows V4 and V8 in the dash when drive on highway. If anyone know, please help!
Yang Todd The new DFM can change individual firing of cylinders for something like 17 different combos and its constantly active.
GM is the only company that had two different truck classes. Why?
Silverado has the cooler Trailboss name but the GMC has the All Terrain-4 (AT4) and the 6.2L which is a beast in comparison to the weak willed 5.3L.
Honestly only the AT4 matches the Rebel in it's power and design.
Another great review as usual! It's a great looking truck and I'm glad to see that GM is putting more effort into the interior, specifically the inclusion of air vents and proper head rests in the back seat. I really wish that they would go with an e-coated frame though as the wax coating would be a deal killer for me up here in Northwestern Illinois. Did you happen to notice if the steering wheel is still offset? That always struck me as problematic from a long term ownership standpoint. Thank you. Regards, Tom
wide tires would actually look good on this truck well done gm
Good review I drive 18 weeler and the trailer brake is on the right side
Another fantastic video sir! Seems as though GM had a more conservative approach when redesigning the interior on this truck! In my opinion, it's all about bang for your buck! So, if the price of these new Silverados don't reflect the subtle changes or lack thereof, I'd go with Ram or Ford because you're getting more for the same money! I'm a Ram guy and absolutely love the look of this new Silverado!
Love the exterior, they finally dumped those square wheel wells.
The interior, it still looks a bit simplistic, almost on the level of a work truck interior. Maybe I need to get out and see one in person but I am simply exhausted of looking at black or gray interiors, does GM offer a two-tone using colors other than black and/or gray with reasonable looking contrasts?
I Hate round wheel wells. Already missing square ones 😐
They offer Brown interior
I saw that on their website. I like the brown but it is surrounded by too much (ug) black. I know it is subjective but I'd be more inclined to purchase if the interior was available with other than black as the main color.
Man Chevy has had square fender wells since the 70s wtf I want them back
Spacers = lame. No manual transfercase = lame. Is that still a C clipped rear diff with ZR-2 crappy shock mounts? (sorry no clue on that as I know its a 1/2) Front and rear lockers? Meh, Ford and RAM still kicks its' ass. Power Wagon, Raptor. (little apples to oranges, but they are serious off-roaders, depending on the terrain that is desired) 5.3? Please. The Bean Counters at GM really need to be replaced. FCA is kicking your ass.
When are you trailering vs towing?
I'm disappointed GM decided to leave off the large wireless phone charging pad in the center console on the base Trail Boss despite adding it to the base level GMC AT4. They also gave the GMC AT4 the upgraded, foldable tailgate.
I really wanted one but I cannot have the 5.3 wish Chevy would have listened to us!
Nice truck I didn't know they were in Corpus yet I may have to go look at them
I wonder what ranch hand will do with the bumper
Looks like they took cues from the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with coloration and the red tow hooks. I like it. What is the tow capability of this truck.
