I must confess,ever since I've known cars I've always had this love for diesel engines.that gruff sound when idling,the torque & especially the turbo(whistling) sound when reving up.,it just makes my day!.
I have a 2020 Ram Ecodiesel and I absolutely love it. I'm a long time FCA guy but when it comes time for a new truck I'll be going with Chevy due to the duramax.
Picked up a 3.0 zr2 1500 2 days ago, took it down a lease road at about 30mph and it road great, not as good as a raptor does and yes I’ve road in both now down the same road same speed and raptor suspension is way smoother but I went up a fairly steep steep steep incline in cliche with the front and rear dif locks in and had no issue pushing it up that slope and it held itself there, 200 miles on it so far and it drives like a dream, absolutely no complaints so far
Love my '23 Sierra SLT with the LZ0. It's great for pulling our trailer, and the mileage can't be beat. Also love that I have a front bench, and a column shifter :)
Well said dad about the tax payer funded EV free for all, you obviously wanted to say more about that and everyone that watches this channel agrees so don’t hold back next time man say what you’re thinking because we all are thinking it too but it’s nice to see it said!
I will never own a truck without a Duramax diesel of some sort in it. Rather that be the 3.0L which I currently own or a 6.6L. Love the 3.0L motor! I agree with you on the shifter. I have a habit of pulling the shifter back to go in reverse out of the garage! To me I feel like pulling it backwards should make the truck go in reverse. Pushing it forward you should move forward. The park button I eventually got use to but I would like GM to get rid of the shifter all together.
I am a diesel fan. I had a VW Jetta TDI (diesel) that got over 360k miles with just regular maintenance. I could go for a diesel in a light duty truck. Just cannot go for the price.
Have fun in Palm Springs but don’t get spoiled by warm weather because winter is coming in fast. I love my 2023 1500 LTZ Chevrolet Z71 5.3L best truck ever I chose the gas over the diesel because I do short city trips.
There is a lock feature on the top portion to prevent accidental drops on a hitch. I think you have to hold the top button for a few seconds to LOCK it. Also B&W makes a really nice multi ball drop hitch that works with the tailgate panel down and also has a 2.5" shank so no need for the adapter sleeve and having to store the clunky metal part
100% agree on that shifter, i hate that with a passion. i can live with the shifter being in the console in a truck but i HATE that electronic shifter.
Placed an order for a very similarly truck. Diesel around me is cheap and from experience I know that the baby duramax can easily beat the EPA estimates.
I have the RST with 3.0 and still in the honeymoon period. Love the truck and engine. Not a huge fan of the shifter but i have gotten use to it. A column shifter would have been simpler for muscule memory.
Would love to know more about this topic. I would purchase a truck with this efficient and powerful engine but if I have to add quarts of oil every few thousand miles, then I don’t like it. Hopefully others will comment on this and their experiences. Thanks all
I get oil change every 6,000 miles and haven’t had issues with oil. I have over 100k miles. As for the DEF yes it will drink that, also I filled up def from the pump and it hated it both times so now I only use def from jugs.
I'm glad the gentlemen said "EV, at the moment...." . I don't think consumers will put up with the inconveniences of living with an electric vehicle. I'm in the gasoline/diesel fuel/aviation fuel/biodiesel business, and I'm not thrilled or impressed with electric cars.
It would have cool for Ford and G.M to have worked together on the hybrid truck so Ford could have that diesel and g.m. to have 7000 plus of plug-in power at the bed
that 3.0 liter makes 3 times the hp my landcruiser 1hz inline 6 makes damn i wish i can get this i have looked under Isuzu they only offer the inline 4 version of tht engine.
I’m really very impressed with the Chevy truck performance / Price value on these trucks. I’ve priced out Chevy, GMC, Ford and Toyota. Toyota was the most affordable in a Platinum level type trims. But GMs a close second and in some cases the same. Here is what I like. You can get a Chevy High Country with the 90% of the upgrades with the diesel for $65,000 in our area. The Ford F-150 Platinum with hybrid is going to hit $73,000-$76,000. The Toyota Platinum Hybrid will hit $71,000. The GMC Denali $72,000-$78,000. Ram doesn’t offer a hybrid or a diesel now. I did find several 2023 Limited Longhorn diesels still for sell but they were all $83,000-$91,000. GM is doing some pretty cool stuff right now.
I can laugh about this now but at the time not so much, had a few to drink and got my wife to drive us home and her being unfamiliar with my zr2 put the truck in drive instead of reverse and almost hit our niece. So I agree it's definitely not the most ideal shifter design for a world who is used to a traditional PRND .
See my comment above. I had a similar experience backing up to a trailer and nearly hit my wife. I was sober lol. The shifter is absolutely unacceptable if you ask me. How it ever passed the sniff test gives you an idea of how stupid some of these design engineers really are. Put 10 people who have never been in one before in the driver's seat and every one of them would struggle with it right off the bat.
Ive never had an issue with the electronic shift in my 2023 sierra at4. I also have a 2016 Camaro ss a8 with a traditional shifter and a 2018 equinox with a traditional shifter. The only thing that i get mixed up is the parking brake placement between the three vehicles. I actually find the electronic shifter to be more intuitive.
Also have to factor the costs to consumers of diesel, plus the huge payload hit given weight of the engine. In a half-ton, the few hundred pounds engine weight can be a big deal. A ford maverick has 1500lb payload, what's the payload of this truck? I don't like truck reviews that do not highlight 'truck' features, vs car or luxury truck lipstick on that pig features. Why didn't you cover payload and towing? It's a truck, but this is a car review. Or a Chevy infomercial? All that said, love the channel. Keep on truck'in!
There is not a huge payload hit with the diesel. If you cared about payload you wouldn't be buying a zr2 anyway. But if you read the title or listen to the video this is a first look or walk around not a dedicated review video.
I have a 2022 ZR2 in desert tan metallic and I can tell you it is the best color at hiding dirt I have ever had. Rarely washed it this summer even after off road camping. Looks like new again after a rain and doesn't show dust. Also your rant about the shifter is correct. I'm used to it now but it took a while. I also put it in reverse a couple of times thinking it was in park. It's a total bullshit deal designed by some video game playing engineer. Classic example of making a simple device into something complicated for no reason. One of my wife's old Jeeps had a similar shifter in 2015 but it was changed to something more traditional not long after for good reasons. GM PAY ATTENTION HERE THAT SHIFTER IS TERRIBLE! I was interested in looking at the same truck with the diesel but they dropped the sand dune color and that has given me pause because as bland as it is to some people I really love it mostly for the reasons stated above.
I think they need an AMP power step that also serves as a bash guard. The only think that bash rail is gonna do to me when my foot slips off is bash my shin. Other than that, I really like it. It wouldn't keep me buying it but, I would change that because I don't see myself in situations that would require me to have that protection.
I have to tell you guys as I just saw a video on this for the ZR2. There is a safety measure where if someone leaves transmission is Drive or even Reverse, when you open up the driver's side door and take your foot off the brake to start getting out, the transmission / system automatically puts the transmission in Park. That issue of a roll away vehicle will not happen with this.
the maintenance cost just scares the crud out of me. From DEF to oil changes, fuel filters etc................. oh and higher priced diesel fuel doesn't help.
You get used to the shifter, Nissan does it like GM. Park is press of a button, reverse is up, deove is down and it returns to center. No big deal to be honest and i never had an issue with it and i barely drive it (GF's car). I'd take one of them diesel zr2 in a heartbeat though, just too damn expensive 😯
I will save you the wait. There are only two engine options and my 6.2 L gas engine ZR2 would blow the doors off the 3.0 L diesel truck in a drag race. When it comes to fuel economy my gas truck is decent but would be no where near what the diesel would get.
@@captainrawn😂😂😂. 6.2s are not decent on fuel. Absolutely terrible. Lots of fun.. but horrific ar the pump, and that 92l tank with that engine just sucks.
@@claysmurthwaite2386Well to me constantly getting 19 to 21 MPG which is 11 to 13 litres per 100km on the highway doing about 120 km hour here in Alberta in my nearly 6000 lbs truck is 💯 decent. I'm not heavy footed with it very often. Varies mostly depending on the wind. Yeah the smaller fuel tank sucks mostly when towing at the max rating with my travel trailer where fuel economy is 9 to 11 MPG when the combined weight is 14,900 lbs. Unloaded it is better than my 2005 Tacoma V6 double cab 4x4, and my 2015 f350 diesel. My 2022 ZR2 is the most economical to operate out of the 3 of them period. Towing that same travel trailer with my F350 is only marginally better than the 6.2 gas Chevy. The Ford does about 11 to 12 MPG and diesel is more expensive than gas. I'm honestly very satisfied with the ZR2 and it is the first Chevy truck I have ever owned in over 60 years of living. I considered trading it for the same truck with a 3 litre diesel engine but with the higher cost of diesel, price of DEF and the amount they use, more expensive oil changes and other potential maintenance and I don't see much difference in operating costs between the two. All everyone talks about is the MPG of the little 3 litre diesel but the is much more to consider than that long term. Cheers 😊
I own a 23 Silverado and I hate that electronic shifter, I wish GM would of left the damn column shifter in all of them or went with a traditional gear shift that physically moves. The e shifter is just a bad idea. Should of left it for the fancy models like high country or Denali.
I got zr2 Colorado with the 2.8 Duramax and I love the dual locking axle is amazing! I have been trying to motor swap to the 3.0 Duramax but I'll see how that works out
Please ask the question about towing this truck if inoperable! I own a 23 Silverado with this transmission shifter. Last year had the fuel gel up and would not start. I needed to roll the truck downhill about 100 yards to get it into my heated shed to heat the fuel system, but am unable to shift it to neutral without the truck running. Was a very painful experience in -20F day. I was able to get it started by using tarps and a salamander heater for a couple of hours. I am now very careful about where I park the truck on cold says.
The reason Jeep got rid of that shifter was because of the actor from the newer Star Trek movies died from being crushed by his Jeep after he thought it was in park. I agree that they should leave the shifters in the same configuration it has been for the last 50+ years. No need to reinvent what works
That transmission issue is so aggravating. I'm actually shocked that one government or another hasn't chimed in on the safety aspect of those dippy interfaces. Change for change sakes is stupid. The problem with that truck overall is that it'll be another $100K wonder horse that no one can afford. The diesel is nice, but let's have it in a $40k p/u!
What's the price of diesel ⛽ fuel in CA? Must be pushing $6/gallon. Diesel engine was good when prices were about $2/ gallon. Now it doesn't make sense to buy diesel engine.
NOTE: The 3.0L diesel is now the base engine on Silverado ZR2. And it's a 2024 model year, not 2023.
I must confess,ever since I've known cars I've always had this love for diesel engines.that gruff sound when idling,the torque & especially the turbo(whistling) sound when reving up.,it just makes my day!.
2020 silverado 1500 duramax here. Not a single complaint going strong best engine I've ever had. Very happy never looking back
I have the 2020 as well with over 100k miles and love it
Front and rear REAL lockers with diesel torque, now thats the real truck❤, thanks guys.
But the new hybrid Tacoma has more hp and almost as much torque…

I have the same year Ecodiesel and it’s been treating me well. I love the truck and the mpg is outstanding. 28-29 backcountry and 25 in town.
The ZR2 is my favourite design of the 1500 Chevy trucks,& now having a diesel engine! oh just perfect!
YEA!!!! GM I LOVE YOU!!! Thank you for Listening!!!!
Big HD diesels are still my cup of tea however this truck is sweet.
Picked up a 3.0 zr2 1500 2 days ago, took it down a lease road at about 30mph and it road great, not as good as a raptor does and yes I’ve road in both now down the same road same speed and raptor suspension is way smoother but I went up a fairly steep steep steep incline in cliche with the front and rear dif locks in and had no issue pushing it up that slope and it held itself there, 200 miles on it so far and it drives like a dream, absolutely no complaints so far

Love the channel, Guys! And love these 3.0 Liter straight 6 turbo Diesels.
Way back in the day I had a Ford truck with the 300 ci straight 6 and a Chevy with the 292 straight 6. They were very smooth and had plenty of power.
I wonder if this power train set up would be great in a next generation GM cargo van and other commercial vehicle set up.
Love my '23 Sierra SLT with the LZ0. It's great for pulling our trailer, and the mileage can't be beat.
Also love that I have a front bench, and a column shifter :)

Thanks for calling out the manufacturers on their EV bull 💩
I have a 3.0 Silverado. I went from a 6.2 gasser and I haven't looked back should have bought the 3.0 earlier.
A zr2 with a Diesel its going to be a special truck and its gonna kept its value in the future..
Just ordered a Duramax Trailboss. Can’t wait for it to come.
ZR2 looks impressive indeed but I am truly distracted by the mountain landscape in the background.
We all want diesel not the def you can thank the epa for that. Probably why the hilux isn’t available in the us even though it’s highly desirable.
Cool truck, but I'm really looking forward to the next Colorado ZR2 Bison! 🤘
Glad to hear they extended the belt life for the variable oil pump to 150,000 miles before it has to be serviced.
They extended it to 200,000 miles for LZ0.
100% agree on that shifter, i hate that with a passion. i can live with the shifter being in the console in a truck but i HATE that electronic shifter.
Placed an order for a very similarly truck. Diesel around me is cheap and from experience I know that the baby duramax can easily beat the EPA estimates.
What is the type of oil ?🇨🇦
Had a 2021 Tahoe with the 3.0L, it was a complete lemon. Got rid of it last year with 33,000km on the odometer.

TK, We know this Diesel sips fuel but we also hear it drinks quite a bit of oil. Thoughts?
Would love to know more about this topic. I would purchase a truck with this efficient and powerful engine but if I have to add quarts of oil every few thousand miles, then I don’t like it. Hopefully others will comment on this and their experiences. Thanks all
I also heard the 3.0 new diesel likes to consume alot of DEF , especially when towing

DID THEY ADDRESS THE OIL USAGE PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE?

Had a 2021 with the diesel, was in the shop non-stop, sold it last November
Sad part i live in. Almost 7 dollars for a gallon of diesel
The glacier blue metallic and red hot are the best colors
This is why Chevy will always be king.
Can you show us more of the off-road tech? Any word on tow capacity and mpg? Great work guys enjoy the heat!
Yea waiting on that HD vid let’s go truck king!!! 👑
Its hot there like here in San Antonio Texas in summer. I want to see videos towing fifth wheel.
AT4 too?
When I saw him drawing the dust with his finger… 😤
I agree. That shifter is stupid and should be up on the steering column like a truck should be.
I wish I coild afford one of these.
Yes keep the diesels coming that's a sweet truck

Interesting that GM succeeded with their 3.0 diesel but Nissan failed?
Until solid state batteries become available such a diesel is the best engine for a large un-aerodynamic pickup truck.

The problem with that truck overall is that it'll be another $100K wonder horse that no one can afford. The diesel is nice, but let's have it in a $40k p/u!
How much?
Diesel looks awesome but I’d probably would go with Ford F150 with new tail gate.
You didn't mention the towing
Any idea on prices on new Chev reg cab long box. WT model 2023'
What's the price of diesel ⛽ fuel in CA? Must be pushing $6/gallon. Diesel engine was good when prices were about $2/ gallon. Now it doesn't make sense to buy diesel engine.
The shifter is not rocket science. It’s very simple and comfortable to use actually.
Ram and ford still makes a half ton diesel
Excellent Review 😁
I like the shifter!!!
Yes, for diesel 👌
I can’t stand shift knobs and shifters like that. Just stick with the good ole column shifter!!
The shifter on the floor so you can spill all your drinks into it.! Great work!
