Who in there ever loving mind would spend that kind of money for a 1500. I will never buy a new vehicle ever again with these prices. These manufacturers are out of their minds.
I agree, prices have gone from high to ridiculous. No wonder business has slowed down. Chevy needs to realize what is happening in the market and make appropriate adjustments. They are selling a lot of Trax, could it be the lower price????
…someone with shattered binoculars 👀
@@thezeherealthough GM, to its credit, is keeping prices low on their smaller SUVs
Not to mention it’s a Chevy 😂
@@doggy911the Trax are garbage!
Money is not meant to control people rather it is meant to be put to work producing more money for you. You cannot build wealth without putting money in its rightful place.
People don't understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments don't match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I've been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.
Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things

Great to see an Oshawa, my hometown built truck at Schumacher Chevy NJ!
These manufacturers are nuts with their prices. I will never buy a new vehicle ever again.
That truck is sharp !!! Btw, I saw a Blazer EV today, while I was at work. That was cool looking.
Awesome show Thanks for your service.
I'm afraid a lot of folks are waiting for BYD's...basic model 15k -- but 30% tariff in place. Just a matter of time. Consumer demand will prevail. Current vehicles are just too expensive. You're not buying a car, your buying a loan is what the dealer sells.
My 2024 Silverado 1500 LT Trim 5.3L is falling apart after 2 months, engine is misfiring already, and you check the LTZ and High Country Trims, to see if the Turn Signal and Top Steering Wheel plastic is loose like mine, unbelievable
That is today's GM. Today's buyer is a loyalist who has always bought GM and will never get anything else, no matter what, or someone who is unaware of the issues and hasn't done any research. It's sad because I have owned various GM vehicles for years and years. So many good ones. There's just nothing left for me today. So I switched to Toyotas. Watch out for that active cylinder management system in that 5.3...unless they have fixed that problem (I honestly don't know) that could cost you an engine down the road, potentially. It did for my dad in his Suburban at 150k.
No kidding on the whip antenna. Has GM ever heard of sharkfin antennas!?
Spend $20 and buy a rubber shorty antenna
Good Video and nice to see you checking and doing well. Hope you finish April strong!
Good to see how u take in a truck from GM. You take good care of your costumers, no wander you’re busy. Good luck on pikes peak marathon. Good for u. Enjoying videos.
Where I come from is the owner who unwraps the plastic, maybe Americans dont see it as a special thing but if you factory order I think its cool to get to be the one to take off all the plastic covers.
My 2022 6.2 Trail boss was $53K...look how much stuff has gone up in such a short time. FJB
You'll be rolling in your truck to the dealership shortly under recall for a new engine replacement...
@@robertdiehl9003 what makes you say that ?
@@Bruins77Fan Quite a few problems with cam/lifters the last few years especially after they went to the "new and improved" DFM system.
@@frederickdouglass7517 22k miles now....people that have problems were using 87 gas...it says to use 93. Not every situation was because of that but quie a few.
Can't wait to see you do a video like this for the Silverado EV... And even the Equinox EV for that matter. My local dealer has a few Equinox EV's "in transit" but nothing in stock yet .. Hopefully soon!
Also, I used to eat a lot of salads for lunch... Yours looked pretty good, maybe I need to get back to that!
Great review Dave
I’m not a chrome fan. That’s why I went with an RST standard bed 6.2L Z71 4x4 Sunroof with the RST All Star Premium Package. The only thing I wish it had was the bed cam and the self closing tailgate
High confidence chrome I call it looks great and loved it on the boss' truck but not mine which I ran for him (Mack Class 8.) Definitely an option to keep the value resale high. Truck sales have slowed so good time to be premium buyer. Toyota has really opened up the entire market to basically everyone given their catastrophic choice of trying to sell $50,000 US Dollar 4 bangers for trucks and suvs but especially so GM, Ford, Jeep, Dodge and what's left of Chrysler.
I love Chevy always have always will! I absolutely agree Dave GM should ditch the old school antenna go with a shark fin or shorter antenna
Dave great stuff more content would be great
Thanks for watching. I am going to step it up
Good luck on your marathon!
Thank you!!
Hey Dave hope all is well luv our traxes wanted to tell you that I used that headlight restoration kit on our older car worked out perfect
Awesome! Such an easy product to use too
i have one exactly like this in silver....its a loaner though cause my 21 is in for the infamous lifter failure
was out there on pikes peak that is really steep mountain.
I've done marathons including with elevation when my knee was still good. Elevation will kill your thighs. The best way to prepare is to find a short hill that is aggressively inclined and run sprints on it, both up and down. Down is needed for control - when your muscles get tired you do not want to slip and fall. Running downhill helps with that.
Travel for a few of your runs - either update New York or maybe Shenandoah National Park in VA. It’s a bit of a drive, but you can get some good elevation on nicely maintained trails. Closer to home, perhaps Delaware Water Gap, Mt. Minsi for example or Tammany. Good luck!
I thought of Water Gap.. also Big Pocono State park is about 2,000 feet..
❤ your marathon challenge! If not mistaken ( 12 years since left NJ ) in the north there are pretty decent hilly parks ,however you have to adjust for trail running.
Keep plugging Dave.
Dave - Go to High Point State Park and train there. Some good elevation changes there & highest point in NJ.
Pritty cool i went to the Silverado assembly plant and they are putting the new line in for the all new 2026 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. 😊
68k for a 1500 truck is insane. Not a fan of all the chrome.
And it looks 2WD even with the z71 package.
Closest thing I can think of is the climb to get to the high point monument then back down. Think that’s on 23? Done that a couple times - it’s a grind. Good luck. What you really need to do though is train at highet elevations. My Washington in NH too.
Typically dealerships in Japan don't remove any protective films and wraps unless customer asks. If you remove them without permission, Customers get upset.
I "had" a 21 GMC 1500 denali 6.2 crew cab, didnt care for the 10 speed trans shifting pattern, harsh downshifts , A vehicle for that much money should be better

Dave Gm could save . 38 cents per vehicle if they would leave all the plastic off everything 😮
Hey …..my sister runs the pikes peak marathon every year! Good luck!
Fyi….. Im in pretty good shape for a flat lander and even run an occasional 10k. That said, just hiking up Pikes Peak is one of my greatest athletic accomplishments…… once above treeline that last 3 miles was a total killer.
That's awesome!! Congratulate her for me!! I am looking forward to it but don't feel that I will ever feel prepared for it. My best normal marathon is 3:21... It seems it may take me that long just to get to the top based on what I have read. I would like to to finish in under 6 hours.
Dave B 🇺🇸👍🏻
Dave, you’ll definitely need to get some heavy duty training in, especially since you’ll be coming up from sea level to more than a mile above sea level. I would say do some hiking in some of the hill areas out east; I say hills since our mountains here in Colorado are 14’ers. At least you have some time, but do get some good training in.
Agreed.. I don't know that I'll be able to train for the air but I'll be running all the hills in the area. Will also be running incline treadmill as well as many many floors on the stepper.
Are those Trax you’ve had over 90 days considered old age units now?
Dave, try highpoint state park in Sussex Cty
If you ask Tesla, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, Subaru, Ford, and Toyota sales are slowing a bit.
I dream automotive COMPANIES and the world of the world and wish i had the opportunity to move to Japan ❤ and work. But being on meds like a infusion each month to keeps me walking. 😂 Anyway you are the man keep up the CV great work. Have you ever heard about Corvette Conti???😊
I really like the Trax but I'm afraid that 3 cylinder turbo will do good to last 100,000 miles. Toyota has went to a 4 cylinder turbo in the Tacoma, almost every manufacturer is going to turbos. This will be a win for the dealerships when they get all that work rebuilding them.
When the new Transverse Z71 gonna be showing up ?
Nice truck. Do you see a bump after the New York International Auto Show? The Trax looks good .
Not like years in the past
What has happened to recent auto shows is sad and people are staying away. Upscale manufacturers are not even showing up.
@@deepthinker999 very true. It use to be two floors and almost every manufacturer . Now it is barely a floor. Does not feel the same.
Is it a V-8?
Oshawa!
LTZ is a great package but needs less chrome!
hey dave do you have any z06?
Just leased a buick envista premiere trim. Blue. But I was considering the red one.
Congrats!
Dave , If you do that Pikes Peak race we'll come down to cheer you on. we're an hour north of there. maybe we can get a whole Dave B cheering section? Sure you know, but for others, the start point is at 6000 something feet. Wonder what they suggest for training? I liked that crimson red car you showed , nice color
That's be awesome! I really don't know what to expect with the air, no real way to train for it here on flat land. Just need to get my V02 max to high levels... according to my Garmin watch it is already "Superior"
Train for time instead of distance for your marathon. If you train for time, it puts your brain in that mode of how long it will take you to do that marathon. If you start estimating how long it will take you to do it and train for time on that distance, you’ll more than likely be successful for it.
Also do a ton of endurance training on your legs, meaning tons of reps and light weight. And when I say tons, I mean like 200-300 reps divided equally in a certain amount of time.
I got this from a Facebook group way back in 2016 called Conjugate Strong.
I usually do powerlifting but when I started really adding a ton of reps for light weights after my heavy lifting, even a 3 mile walk that I rarely ever did wasn’t hard. I weigh 300 lbs and I’m 6’8” and my cardio is pretty darn good for my size. Did tons of personal training and some training for sports and I just like to give little tips here and there.
Regardless, I hope you succeed and kick ass!
Much appreciated!! Thanks for taking the time to share this. I have recently started to add reps and lower weight. Just need to really get the reps up like you suggested. Thanks again 👍
Dry steering gone wild
Is Chevy eliminating the Premier trim level (formerly LTZ) across it model lineup? Seems like what I’ve seen for 2025 models are LT, RS and Activ.
OG Bobby Johnson music lol
salad looks good
salad looks good
Love the Cacti green on that Trax. Is that color a good seller?
The ones we've had alway went fast
As Sly and The Family Stone sang, “Different strokes for different folks.” I think that the Cacti Green is awful. That and the Smurf Blue. The Cayenne on the Trax is my favorite.
The sticker you put on the windshield does the dealership keep those on hand all the time or do you get them when the car is registered? Is the sticker assigned specificly for that car? Thanks for the video.
They are numbered to the specific vehicle....It is the 5 year NJ inspection sticker
@@DaveBsellsChevy Does the dealership keep them onhand?
@@lidsman2221 Yes
@@DaveBsellsChevy so in NJ an inspection is good for 5 years?
@@michaeloliva3759 Yes, for new cars
Get some gmc trucks on the channel
@Dave B Sells Chevy: Nice truck. Do you happen to sell a lot of Colorado’s? How do you like them?
I like them a lot but we have not sold too many... haven't even received too many since the refreshed model.
@@DaveBsellsChevy my neighbor has a Colorado Trailboss in blue, looks like a really nice ride.
Dave is fortunate. I looked up Liv NJ household income 183k year...top 18% in the nation. They're not looking for Colorado's ...
Check out how the NFL teams prepare for Denver games and also a 'training mask' to limit your oxygen intake at sea level. So proud of your health and fitness lifestyle.
I've heard of those masks... will definitely look into that
Besides AWD, what’s the advantage of the Trailblazer over the Trax?
IMO that is really about it. I like the Trax better
Slightly larger engine.
Hey Dave, any info on equinox EV LT trim orders?
We have some built already, mostly RS.. Not sure when they will ship yet
@@DaveBsellsChevy looking for LT. Hopefully soon
You remind me me of Chevy Dude Mike lol
I sure wish companies would come back to reality and make affordable vehicles again. Every company seems to have lost their mind. $70,000 for a half ton gas engine? No thanks
The new Chevy Trax is proving your point. At 25K they are selling like hot cakes just because they are affordable. Some Jeep SUVs have an MSRP of 130K with major quality issues to boot !
When will you get your first equinox ev?
Not sure yet.. we have about 10 or so already built and still in Mexico
Ok. Thanks.
Dave, do you ever get tired of the new car smell or do you not notice anymore?
don't even smell it anymore... only the Corvette's have strong enough scents
wow, I 'm so surprised that people make appts to buy cars. I bought 8 new cars in my life and never ever made an appt. If the salesperson is busy or not there others at the dealership can fill in. The manager approves the price, the finance manager approves the payments ,, the salespeople just show the features . I guess I am an informed buyer before I enter the dealership and know what I want, the price I want etc. Most of the time the dealership want you to take the car ASAP with you.. I always go to the dealership were the car / color etc I want... I like to deal direct and don't mind driving up to. 100 miles to buy.
Dealers want to "spot" the car so that you will take delivery before you change your mind (or a spouse does it for you).
We still haven't learned a thing we continue to buy new cars. Probably will never change. Credit is how we keep the poor people poor. (that and of course the lottery the biggest tax on the poor we have as a country)
77% of people who buy lottery tickets are poor.
68k 😂
$68K 😂
Everything is too damn expensive and way overpriced!
Yep !
Not sure who is buying these vehicles. I make 50k a year, 13k above the average American yearly wage, and I definitely couldn’t afford a 60k car/truck. Either people are spending more than they can afford (which is probably the reason) or it’s just the upper middle class buying all of them.
nope sales slower than ever over here lol
Yea, it's been slow here.. just picked up in the last few days
I have no idea how anyone could like a cacti green vehicle.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and gender.
Buy a gas mask and run with it. Thats what ppl do
How do you feel selling that overpriced junk to anyone? How do you sleep at night.
Just looked at the videos on your channel.. You complain about everything. Sad.
Who signed the paper him or the customer
Easy
To bad they are way over priced and junk quality.
No EVs???!!! Disappointing.
I never buy new vehicles anymorr always used ones byt even used ones are so expensive. I keep my vehicle's long after i pay it off.
the most important place to protect on new cars, GM does not. The threshold and the bottom of the drivers door. So many people get in and out of the vehicle from factory to dealership and by the time the customer gets it, there are scratches on the threshold from work boots with stones or just dirty shoes and the bottom of drivers door from everyone rubbing against it with their shoe when opening up the door and getting out. Why can't GM see this and protect those spots? Years ago they had carpet on bottom of doors to prevent the issue.
Delware Water Gap has Mount Tammany that would be good for training
