- Well it was something I never thought I would do is buying this truck and after 4 months although it really hasn't caused me any issues I wish I had never bought it. All for one main reason.
Instagram @workplaytv
I have a 2021 2500hd base model double cab long bed. 10,000 miles. Averaging 15.2 mpg. After driving it this long I really like it. Comfortable for long drives. Fast on the road. Excellent brakes. Tows smooth. Shift lever knob is perfect, I don't have small hands. Great interior ergonomics. Very quiet. The giant hand holds work well and are very stout. Seats are excellent. I don't have power seats and don't need it. Overall I really like it. Headlights are bright. The truck feels light and nimble on the road at speed. I'm good with it. Out the door for $49,744.
Still a viable option?
I’d like the see the maintenance on all three diesel trucks. I’m talking 200k plus miles and what had to be replaced on each. These comparisons of people who only put 30-60k miles and get a new one are worthless
It’s a lot. I owned a Powerbroke and it had 180,000 on it. Every time it broke (it broke a lot) it cost well over a thousand to repair. The oil changes alone were expensive with the volume of oil it required. I gave up on the powerchoke , doing a 6.0 GMC gas now.
@@chuckwasson what year?
I plow with a Chevy one ton with independent suspension and it plows hundred of properties ever time it storms and I've never had a problem?why do u guys think a straight axle will make a truck plow better?independent not only plows fine it also rides ten times better then any staright axle truck..
My 2000 F350 crew dually 7.3 with 131k miles is still a beast baby!!!! Trump for Congress 2022
Yee yeee
If you don't have power seats you need to add spacer blocks to the seats and raise them 1.5". Then the hood isn't an issue. Visibility is great once the seats are raised.
I don’t get why everyone’s bitching about this? I have zero issue with the way the visibility is. I like seeing that hood in front of me.
I got rid of the newer ram because I couldn’t get comfortable on a 10 hour drive that’s why I love the gmc 10/10
My 17 ram 3500 aisin is still solid 👌 and ones a week I God in wood to go wash equipment 4000 payload 10000 trailer full water
I can't say anything bad about the 6.2. We have a F-250 crewcab, longbed with the 6.2 and it has over 330,000 miles on it and is still going strong.
Yeah, that 6.2 was the definition of a reliable engine. Fuel efficiency though, get the 10R140 and it will do well
Been driving the same truck for 18 years now (dealing with the rust issues)I would love to have this truck.
I have a 2001 Chevy 2500HD LB7 Duramax the only things other then regular maintenance of oil change and filters and wiper blades. The rear end seal where the drive shift goes in had a small leak replaced the seal, and replaced the two rubber fuel lines to the fuel filter housing because they looked a little dry rot.. Not bad for a 21 year old truck. And it gets 23 mpg highway and 16 mpg city. The older 01 and 02 Chevy 2500HD body is a favorite among many.
I'm looking to get a new truck in the next few years, or when the prices are more reasonable, which ever comes first. I must say, my 2013 Sierra 1500 has enough blind spots as it is, had plenty of close calls with it. The nice thing about where I work we tend to use a lot of rental trucks so it's like a month long test drive.
The Ram 2500 HD (2019 or 2020 model) with the Cummings was a really smooth riding truck. But what I really didn't like was the arm rest are too low, and the seat didn't lower, which I really didn't like. But like you, I've heard that after 100,000 km's you have to replace the front end on the Ram 1500's, don't know if that is the case for the HD models.
I'll have to try to get one of the GM 2500's this fall to try out. As it stands, I'm leaning towards Ford for my next truck, but I've got lots of time to look around. Something else I've been told is to look at the trucks Irving uses, Ford and Toyota. Thanks for your insight.
I was wondering about this truck when you came back from your break! Thanks for the update!
We have a 24’ enclosed trailer we pull 20 weekends per year max for racing. The rest of the year our truck is a daily driver. It’s perfect for us. 2023 Chevy 2500 LT alskan edition. We didn’t want to try to pull a trailer with a half-ton. It’s great for us. Only problem, the ride is bad while not towing, and the wiper stalk sucks. Otherwise it’s great!
That IFS system was designed for more weight like the diesel option. That front end is unloaded essentially. Helps with a load and with most IFS systems they get better ride wise with age as the horizontal spring softens so does the ride not many suspension systems get better with age
Modern design for trucks must be masculine and I love that you called out the manufacture on the bad hood design. They get longer and wider every generation of trucks. The material for the body gets cheaper and thinner in order to make up for the added “mass” I personally don’t believe gmc or Chevy as it’s sister company really know how to make a good truck anymore. They just go for what they believe what most people want. Unfortunately that leaves the working man out of the picture. Less options for a simple truck and more for luxury. I miss when a truck was a truck not a staple of masculinity and financial wealth. I’m 23 and grew up with my head in vehicles from well before my time. Mainly trucks and farm equipment. Heavy, slow, loud, but never let you down when I mattered most.
If your just going to complain about this nice new truck what don’t you give it to someone who will appreciate it.
Yeah I’ll do that right away
I agree about no rattles, Ford/RAM have some rattles and shimmy’s going down the road.
The gas Powertrain is 👎🏾
Great video bro 👍🏾
12:40 duluth makes a cradle that attaches to all 4 head rests so your dog can lay on the back seat without ruining your interior. It’s called a scout seat saver and it’s made out of canvas so it’s durable.
I'm 6'2" and no headroom issues once the seats were raised. All good over the hood.
Thanks for this. I spend quite a bit of time off-road and agree with the solid front axle. The chevys that I have owned all had great engines. But I always had electrical issues. That’s why I stick with Ford.
I wish the would put cameras on the front of these for parking, even my Ford it feels like the fronts are way bigger than they are. I hate how when it's raining and you come to a stop all the water from the hood flies into the windshield on the ford's too...the fact fords are aluminum (partially) makes them feel such lighter then these sheet metal trucks, coupled with the ten speeds they're definitely on to something with the weight to power ratios...great video man, love your real world usage, actually work these things
I have a 2020 gmc 2500 gas truck virtually identical to yours, now at almost 9,000 miles. I don't understand your comment aboout it "going flat" on acceleration. Mine accelerates great and is fun to drive. I traded a 2019 Duramax 2500 for this truck. The gasser is much more fun to drive than the diesel and pulls our 8k lb travel trailer just fine.
I just wonder if you have a problem with your engine software? I've read a lot of reviews on the new gasser and never seen a complaint on solo performance.
Who knows. I find it shifts too slow and loses power that’s all.
have you had it on bumpy dirt roads? Do you have the snow plow prep package?
If you are asking me, no snow plow package. I live in North Alabama.
It's really too big, heavy, and expensive to take off road, and I haven't had an opportunity yet. I reduce tire pressure 10 in rear and 5 in front to improve the ride when not towing. 7-800 lbs in the bed helps the ride also. When we tow the truck itself is 9300 lbs gross and rides well
Dude has diesels and compares it to a gas that did 140 in 6 seconds…
Do you ever notice a sound of rushing water or something similar when you’re at idle? Also, do you ever hear a groan when at lower RPM?
I own a 2018 tundra and drove a 2021 Chevy lt. I had no problems seeing over the hood. The 6.6 Duramax is waaaaay better than the gas for power. Cute pup!
Dude in all reality ford's f series are so unreliable piles of shit,here in Canada they are the biggest let down always in the shop recalls etc...
You nailed it- front end styling is the only thing these trucks have on the competition. Chev mailed it in big time. No wonder why they’re in last place of the big three.
they're not in last place anymore
I'm a GM guy & think they all look like total crap.
nah, the ram is last place by a country mile.
The rattle in your ford pillar is that little black plastic piece that covers your mirror bolts. If you look close you’ll see the plastic will rub the top of door panel when you hit bumps in the road.
Checked it’s not that. None of my other trucks do it. I’ll have to take the panel piece off when I have time I am sure it’s the wires inside of the a pillar
When you find the rattle could tell us what it was ? Could be helpful to others in the future. Ford door panels always seem to rattle after awhile
@@chucklohnes7652 you bet
The 6.6 is direct injection vs the 6.4 and the 7.3 which are both Port. I had a 21 Ram 6.4 to pull a 38 foot box camper. The gas 7.3 or a diesel is what i need to pull that parachute
Definitely can't compare to a Ford overall for sure. I think the mirrors are hideous. The GMC definitely looks better than the Chevrolet but I still don't like the looks.
I got a 2021 f250 with the 7.3 and average around 15.5mpg at 75-80mph when I keep my foot lighter I've 16.5mpg at 65mph
I love my 2020 6.7. I'm getting 26mpg(9.0L/100km) I just made a 4800km trip to PEI from Ontario and back, pulling my 12k fifthwheel, the average for the trip was 15.3L/100km(15.37mpg US) there were spots on the flat where I was down to 12L/100km and up to 19l/100km. I test drove every combination of super duty(250, 350, 6.2 6spd/10spd, 7.3w/3.55, 3.73, 4.30) and none came close to the 2019 6.7 w 3.55(haha 475lbft vs 935lbft no comparison). The $10950 diesel option is worth every cent. I couldn't get 15L/100km at cruise with any 7.3 and the 6.2 never impressed me, I knew I couldn't deal with the screaming(+4k rpm) pulls when out with my RV. Hopefully the 2023 trucks are changed(and not on the chip shortage delay) when I trade this one in lol
I like the chevy build quality but hate the design. I love the Ford design but hate the build quality.
Can’t argue with that
I really think Ford knocks it out of the park in all of it; design, reliability, build quality and so on. I will say, fit and finish in a Chev is better than Ram
I would get a 7.3L gas big block with 4.30 gears if I was going to get a gasser...
You got me nervous over here. Just ordered an SLE 6.6 gasser with cloth but loaded with every option pkg including gooseneck. Hope I like it more than you like yours lol. Great video I thought your critiques were very fair.
You will like it. Just put 35s on it
I have owned 21 GMC HD with 6.6 gas for about at year now. I really like it and the 6.6 gas is a great engine. Some people claim that the 6 spd hampers the truck but it doesn’t bother me. I’m sure you will enjoy yours.
I have a 2020 Chevy 2500HD Z71 with the duramax and the snow plow package. Now I'm 6' 1" and yes the hood is taller than former GM trucks but I do not find it to be a problem. I also plow with the truck and it did quite well. It did require a learning curve though. The only think I do not like is the extended wheel base as the turning radius is quite large but I came from plowing with a 2009 Chevy 2500HD single cab.
Yeah you can deal with it but if I was one of the engineers driving the truck there’s no way your first reaction shouldn’t have been wow I can’t see anything. Lol
Have a 20 denali hd duramax and not one complaint with the truck from me.
Think the problem is the fixed seat in work truck. Powe seat in my Denali I can drop to the floor and raise to the roof
Anybody can pick apart any vehicles make your own choices people everyone has an opinion!
I have the Silverado version of this truck. I have the LTZ with safety features and where you can't see the truck let's you know as far as next to you. You get use to it after awhile. Oh you have a digital speedometer in middle. You have to toggle to it.
Covid made my have to buy a bobcat excavator so don’t feel too bad Tyson haha. As soon as I can buy another Kubota in the same weight class I’m selling it!
I drive all the truck brands and as for visibility I really dont have a issue seeing out of the gm/ chevy any more then the f350s
Aren’t glad you got American 🇺🇸 made Kentucky Ford Super Duty instead of government motors truck Ford Super Duty truck 4 life
There's a reason why Ford trucks out sells the others (for 40+ years) even though they cost more than the others! I personally have owned them all and I always find myself going back to Ford.
Yeah, you know you do something right when you’re the most expensive and still sell the most. I love my Fords, don’t plan on buying anything else. I’ll lease Ram in my fleets but the resale and quality are poor
It’s because they manipulate the number with drac units
Didn`t you test drive this truck?
Don’t buy a ram rust before warranty is up
@Xxplicit new ones don’t have that problem
Your just upset because you got the wrong ride
My workplace has had 6 LMLs and 3 L5Ps and everyone of them have been a huge let down. Constantly in the shop, 90% being emission issues.
As I've said on other posts...
About pickups in general...
They are often a fashion statement. There are DEFINITELY trades and cottagers that require a 4x4 pickup.... I get it you have to tell your giant boat to and from your cottage up a muddy hill... but there are definitely better and more affordable options, that are more tried and true.
Personally, i dont want to drive anywhere where I NEED a 4x4.... who wants to get stuck or delayed ? Not me anyways. The Jeep lifestyle of considering it as some sort of rite of passage as a man to have rolled over your vehicle while trying to climb the steepest hill is teenage stupidity.
More to the point.... and from my long experience with pickups, vans, minivans and cars.....
4x4 puckups have many Achilles heels.
Some of which are...
Much bigger purchase price, more noise, tire scrub, too many parts, too expensive to drive, more weight, more needless bed height, most peopoe that buy them only really need the 4x4 to be on 5% of the time, the gas consumption goes up, etc. Etc.....
Never mind that the manufacturers of all 3 - 5 pick up truck companies change all the designs and body work every couple, so they never get to rest on their laurels, and they never get to just live with something as proven. You can't just go to the dealer and say give me a bumper for a Chevrolet pick up truck. You used to be able to do that.
And dont get me started on the real cost if long term deisel ownership....diesel fuel costs more, pollutes more, they are loud..... they are for the big boys... And For some reason everybody wants to be a big boy.
That being said....
A lot of pickup drivers should consider the chevy express 2500 passenger.
At least consider it.
They have made it the same way, with the same body for almost 30 years.
6.6 gas with a torque figure of 464 is more power than most need.... you can go 0-100km/h FAST
It seats 12, how can you ask for more than that. 15 if you get the extended.
it seats 5 with a double matress in the back
You can tow 10000 pounds with the thing.
You can do the oil change yourself in 8 minutes.
Everything from the windshield, the bumpers, the wheels, door panels, etc etc. Is interchangeable with literally millions of other express vans. And the body work is all simple and straight... a novice could do bodywork himself. And hardly any exterior plastic. Steel bumpers, folks. I'm talking about steel bumpers that can actually withstand a bump, And that you can go and replace easily at any body shop for a few hundred dollars.
I have one beater van for work and one new mint one for play... both serve me well.
You want a leaky cap? Buy a pickup
You want to get less work done because you cant bring as many tools ? Buy a puckup
You want to HAVE to have a trailer to store / buy / park / maintan drive around / insure / get inspected? Buy a pickup truck.
You like to have to cover everything with a tarp when you want to move your daughter off to college? You know that tarp is gonna be flapping in the breeze and that couch and mattress are gonna be soaking wet from rain.
Work wise...when i do a roof, i put 60 bundles inside along with 5 men, and Im done in a day. A 5 year old van can pay for itself in a week or two.
There are lots of heroes there in the world that want to pull around a giant roofing trailer so that they can play garbage man... They would have much more personal time if they had rented a bin for $400 instead of pinching pennies.
I put more on the roof of my Van than most people would ever dream that they could get in the back of a pickup truck... If I dispose of a fence or a deck I will put 8 sections of fence on the roof of the Van and just toss them off at the garbage dump. This doubles my storage capacity.... And makes my life a hell of a lot easier.
Not that a van cant tow... my new one is good for 10,000 pounds.
Pickups are very useful, Unfortunately they have evolved to the point that they are primarily for the fashionista crowd that wants a new brief rush every couple years, And want to have copious amounts of badges and adornment on the vehicle that say "I Can afford to lease a Hard to park, King Ranch super cab Mega duty 4 by 4 "
This whole making your own roads bullshit is for the cheap crowd leave it to them it doesn't make any money and it isn't fun. Again it's pedestrian and teenage. Kind of like buying a 1994 Honda Civic and thinking it's a goddamn sports car.
I get it I get it.... There are hundreds of thousands of men in the United States alone that NEED heavy duty 4 by 4 king size pick up trucks... HOWEVER I think MOST people would be served by something a lot more is a lot more practical. At least do yourself a favor and investigate the option of getting a van.... They are better for work and better for play in at least 90% of situations.
Personally I went with the Chevrolet because it's more tried and true.
They stopped making those Ford cargo vans many years ago because they were unsafe roll over hazards because they didn't extend the wheelbase when they extended the Van.
And the new Ford cargo vans you can only get a V6 and there's shitty plastic fake bumpers on them which aren't even really bumpers so if you get an a rear end are you Dent your floor and doors.
And those ram pro masters are front wheel drive with the shitty uni link rear suspension... I think they're designed for Europe or something they are garbage
Anyways for my lifestyle I have chosen Chevrolet because I like to work and I like to play and their express vans have done me well... Done a lot more for me than a pickup truck ever could
And they are made in the USA so you're supporting your economy. Even though I live in Canada I still consider that it is supporting my economy by buying American.
The GMC Savanna is exactly the same as the Chevrolet expressed by the way if anybody is wondering.... And if you're going to get either then make sure you get the 6.6 l gas engine, it's got lots of power and lots of speed and it's pretty good on the highway, I get 18 miles per gallon when I'm cruising at 70 miles an hour
not bad for a big safe vehicle
Personally I even drive it in the city too because I'd rather spend more on gas and less on neck surgery if I was driving a shitty Honda Civic or something, On the off chance that somebody hits me
Get a f250 7.3 on order and trade this thing in
100%, I haven’t heard any good things about these. I know plenty of people that get new ones all the time because of issues. Keep going back because they had family members work at GM so get very hefty discounts
Has foreward work lights on mirrors too.
Hi bud,
I so appreciate you sharing your opinions on these trucks of course you would know a good deal .
Hope GMC get's back to you and justify the reasons, be interesting. If they get in touch please post a video.
Isn't this truck equipped with the plow prep package? I think you read that off the window sticker the first video you made on this truck. The forums, if I remeber correctly, say that this package makes it ride like garbage, but billstein has a nice shock to help with ride quality. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Just ordered a ‘22 GMC 2500 and wanted the plow pkg but didn’t want the stiffer suspension for the exact reason you mentioned. I noticed when first building it on the GMC site that when adding the plow pkg after adding tye X31 off-road pkg with the Rancho shocks and skid plates the plow pkg only added the upgraded alternator so I went that route.
I second your opinions on this truck. Except I'll add that I think that Chevy's new look is the ugliest design I have ever seen. Definitely really hate these big tall hoods, GM is the worst. Don't care for any of the 3 brands, all of them have tall hoods. Much prefer Fords 99 to 07 hood set up, next Rams from about 03 to 2010.
You gotta love the Chevy ad right before the video starts.
Lol
I got a Ford ad. 😂
Hey workplaytv a nother awesome videos on your channel alot every day u are awesome UA-camr u put out awesome content on your channel say safe and healthy with your family i hope this will get better soon so we can get back to normal life soon u definitely my favorite UA-camr 😀
Get the truck professionally tuned with hptuners . I did that to my 2015 , really woke up the truck . They turned down the torque management system and adjusted transmission line pressure and shift points . Throttle response was night and day . Highly recommend it . Your drivability complaints will be gone .
Lol. Great review of the interior! That is kind of quirky! 😂
So your saying u like a lot of other stuff on this truck plus how it looks but the mirrors and the hood. All the trucks have issues included many recalls on the f250
Pretty much . The hood is ridiculous
It’s really a bummer Ford can’t get their truck’s delivered to dealers. I’m glad I got my F350 diesel dually last March. I love it. I couldn’t find a 450 when I was searching in the configuration I wanted.
I got a 21 tremor with the 7.3 the best I’ve seen was 14.7 per 100 that’s hwy driving I do a lot of in town driving since I live and work in the same town so I’m usually averaging 18l per 100 hook a trailer up and it goes up to 21-24 depends on weight lol but I didn’t buy it for fuel mileage
Does it have cylinder deactivation I’m coming from a power wagon with the 6.4 main reason I bought the tremor
Use mine for snow plowing without issue, haul/ tow with it daily, mine is the chevy version and I optioned for standard mirrors not the big ones so no issue there. 62,000 mile so far but I am 6'6 so the could be why I have no issue with visibility over hood as I sit naturally high 🤣. First Chevy had to many issues with last 2 Fords, transmission in 2016, and my 2019 major engine issues, lost my ass on that truck 😪
Good review.... I thought you were very fair....
Just put a new intercooler hose on my 19 6.7....yep a tear long ways..
Yep they are terrible.
Here in Kentucky I'm surprised we don't have more power outages with trees/limbs falling on power lines
I like the Ford's the best, but the GM products pull my fifth wheel smoother due to the IFS. Rides better on the highway...I have the F350, my dad has the Chevy 2500.
round tires under square fender wells
Then there’s that
I know you’re a diesel guy, but I recently got the 7.3 Ford gas in a 350 and it’s a beast for a gas truck. I also have the 4.30 gears. I wish you could have had the choice to try it out first
I agree
Mhmm, 7.3 Godzilla cheaper and less maintenance compared to powerstroke
After owning both Chevy and Ford I think you’re spot on with everything!
100% agree with you on poor visibility due to mirrors and hood
Good ford guy review. I'd drive your Ford and I'd hate it. Lol
I think you should try a ram. I think the build quality now is better in Ram than Ford or GM. Front end problems are an issue of the past. Unless you are towing above capacity the 68rfe transmission holds up quite well now behind the diesel and daily drives much better than the Aisin. The 68rfe would be fine in a 2500 Cummins; if going 3500 for heavy towing then, yes, go with Aisin. With the hemi the 8 speed is a heavier duty version of what has been in the 1500's for years with little to no problems. Very good transmission by all accounts.
Change the stock shocks and install some Bilstein 5100 you will see a difference
Live in Ky the Ky speedway is loaded with the new trucks (100’s) just sitting and waiting for the chips it’s a site to see costing Ford big money to have them sit there
We were trading in our 16 F-150 for a heavy duty truck with more payload for our camper. Not brand loyal so looked at all the 3/4 tons. The Chevy is hideous looking, and the GMC gauges and dash are beyond terrible. I also couldn't stand that GMC hood or RAM 2500 hood as the view is decreased. 100% agree on the stupid design of the GMC. Factory ordered the 2020 F-250 with 7.3 gas. Couldn't be happier. The Ford is so well designed and the view out all the windows are fantastic. Plus our Ford body won't rust with Canada's road salt (huge bonus).
I wish that GM came out with straight axle like the early 80s they where great
GM even with the Denali is crap I plow with guys side bye side the Ford blows it out of the water
All trucks have their good and bad and most people make comments based on what they are use to and their brand loyalty. I’ve had all three brands and I’ve had the least problems with GMC than the others.
They make a 6.2 with a 10 speed but only in an f350
I have the 7.3 godzilla and I got 16.9 mpg. That's before the tonneau cover and cat back exhaust. With the tonneau cover I got 17.2 mpg. Don't know yet with the cat back.
I’d love to try one
@@workplaytv I have the 3.55 gears in mine. If you are looking for one find one with 4.30 gears.
@@lgg8752 even with the 10 speed you think the 4.30 is the way to go?
@@workplaytv I've never drove one with 4.30 but I know that's the one you want for towing. You might want to try and find the specs for towing capability. I've had my truck max payload in the truck bed and it's like you could still add little bit more to it and I've also towed a trailer with a skid steer on it and it had no problem.
I have Chevy and Ram. My Ram 6.4 4.10 rear will do better on fuel than my 2022 Chevy 6.6 gas 3.73 rear.
I have gotten over 18mpg out of the ram
I will say trade it for a Ford ASAP. Even a 5.0 F150 will treat you much better than this. I know plenty of people with these trucks that have nothing but issues, they keep buying them for the hefty discounts they get on them being that their family worked for GM. I’ve seen transmission failures at 20-25k, seen countless parts fail that should not be failing. I know people who lease these and haven’t finished a lease over 5 trucks, without massive failures to the point where the dealer just gives them a new one because it’s not worth all the money to fix them. It’s not lemon law, as they are different parts breaking every time. I know a guy with a construction business and uses a 2015 Silverado 2500 6.0 as his “heavy hauler” towing 10k every couple weeks about 20 miles. He’s got 120k on the clock and a new issue every other week. Such a shame, that GM can’t get their act together. I will say fit and finish of the GM products is much better than RAM but they will not last by any means.
I agree on the front end big time. It took 10,000 miles before I was parking this thing safely. To make things worse I put a ranch hand bumper grill guard on it! There’s no telling where the hell the car in front of you is if you aren’t used to it. Love the looks, hate the function. I also can’t believe they put a 6 speed in it! What the hell?
Yeah I think they just want everyone to buy the Duramax.
You should never buy a vehicle you do not love. I am a Chevy guy the 2020-2022 2500 gas is the best gas truck Chevy has ever built in my opinion and I have traveled the country in it and have never had a break down not one and I am not talking a 700 mile round trip more like 3000 mile round trip. Very comfortable never felt stiff sitting in it no matter how long I was driving in it which my longest drive was 13 hours straight and no issues. Great road visibility and plenty of power. If you are going to plow or haul full time maybe a diesel is a better pick.
Mod the hood if you can. To what I have no idea, but anything has got to be better than the stock engine good
GM trucks have always felt weird to me...as far back as the late 80s even. They just dont seem to be very user friendly at all
Agreed, every time I drive one I feel that way.
You must like Log Wagons
I agree and in my opinion they're ugly as hell.
100%, from 2015-2019 I would disagree though. It was like a modern rendition of the square body
I drive a 2011 gmc sierra 3500 at my work, the 6.0 I still think is a better motor than the newer 6.6 liter but that is my personal opinion.
I sold my 2020 F350 6.7 and ordered a 2022 F350 with the 7.3 Don't get me wrong your not going to just step down on it and have it pull away like the 6.7 but it's a blast to drive mt and will pull the same load just not as fast. It's not easy on gas but a bit over 10,000 cheaper and gas is about .30 less than diesel where I am. This is my first gas since 1988. Nice seeing you post some videos again.
BS on the visibility, lol. Raise the driver's seat up and get off the floor and your visibility will be fine.
It doesn’t raise and if you go too much higher your on the roof.
honestly you made it seem like you had alot of negitives to say... but i heard more positive things, almost like you were searching for things to find negitive... your a ford guy at heart your looking for a reason to dislike the truck... thats how she goes. im a GM guy have driven plenty of newer 2020+ fords, can give you 8 of them all over 300k kms all ready. done nothing but towing travel trailers back from the USA. i can say for 100% sure the trucks have alot of power, that 10 speed for both GM and ford keep her right in the power all the time, but all 8 trucks have had the 10 speeeds replaced... they also have 2 GM 2020 trucks they are creaping up to 200k kms so we shall see if they survive. every truck has there ups and downs, Solid front axle trucks for plowing 1000000% IFS is not good for that at all.
i could go on about the trucks from what i am seeing in these fleet of hotshot trucks, in the end they all get the job done and make ya money. just send it!
Order the Snow plow package on the new Chevrolet.
also water stays on the hood all the time
Its solid truck for sure.
Fords are crap diesel trucks. I have had both Ford and chevy work trucks. Chevy is in shop a lot less and also way more reliable. Just my opinion. Ford hasn't made a diesel worth the money since the early 2000. They tend to implode way more than other diesels.
You have to turn off traction control and the other safety features and try it. Big difference!
Why do you need so many trucks for?...
Cause I have that much work…
GM hasn't made a good truck since 06. They're plagued with rust and electrical issues etc.
So don’t get me wrong I love me a ford a 1994 to a 1997 everything outside of that it’s trash but if you’re gonna pick up a truck just because you need a truck instead of waiting don’t complain about the stupid purchase that you made and not to top it off but a GMC Sierra L5 P with an Allison 10 L 1000 transmission is far superior than any Ford truck ever made. It falls on its face because it’s designed for towing if you want it to be faster get a TCM tune for it and it will fucking blow any Ford truck out of the water stock you’re just too prissy
Hahaha not a chance. I have tortured my trucks and the fords hold up by far the best
Why did u sell your 2020??
I didn’t need the extra truck at the time and I wouldn’t give my guys a Platinum for a work truck.
Boy if I hated a truck so bad I get rid of it. I guess u plow different where u live love independent front end . Plowing since the 70s and don't like the solid axles.
First person I’ve ever heard say that. Another reason why I think solid axle is nice is it’s just bulletproof @DSTrucks made a video of him hitting a curb at 40 mph with his 2020 F450 and he drove away clean, the Chev would be dropping parts everywhere
Get a Medium duty for towing with a solid axle and I'll get Hope to send you some Cheese for that Wine 😂 lol.
Lol be nice
@@workplaytv Hope said wine, not whine... when am I getting that pic of the toy so I can see it's size and quality
I give it 6 months and a crack in the windshield before it's gone.
Hahaha
I went from a f350 to a gmc and drive on rough ranch roads, the gmc is 500% better ride then a Ford , and has 0 death wobble, every Ford we have got death wobble . Yes the new trucks have a tall hood and are hard to see over , the engineers are clueless about stuff like that! Covid-19 has caused millions of people to suffer on parts and manufacturing problems no cure for that except waiting on micro processors to catch up, pray that none of your fleet needs any electrical work because of this world wide shortage in parts, snow plowing IMO your just going to have to compromise as those engineers don’t design any trucks for that job , you seem to have lots of cabbage ( $$$$) to buy specific stuff for jobs, spend the money on a single cab 7.3 or 6.4 , 6.6 or a old 6.0 to cover that job , because a 4 door truck isn’t designed for plowing, you are a do dad guy, and need a diesel fuel truck to mess around with to buy do dad’s, you need a pedal monster and custom tune for this truck , so grab some good tires and use this truck for a heavy duty daily driver / Forman truck , you should have bought a snowplow package!!
Sell it while used vehicles are getting top $$$ and move on
Lol thanks for the response man. I actually really like the Fords for plowing. I had one on my 17 and have one still on my 19. This truck does have the snow plow prep. I find it hits really hard on bumps and really goes side to side on bumps. Take that stupid hood off and change the mirrors and I think I would be happy with this truck.
@@workplaytv Do you think the side to side head toss and bumpy ride on rough dirt roads is from the IFR or the snow plow prep? I've been looking at the Silverado 2500 because it's available but can't deal with a really rough ride. I spend tons of time on logging roads.
The person that told you the Front end of Rams just fall apart straight up lied to you and I would not trust that person at all. Pure lyer.
Always can tell a Canadian. Lol…..when they say about, it’s aboat. Out is oat.
Keeping it real
Funny you say that, because my family is Canadian and my dad and I often joke about how Americans put so much emphasis on on the ‘ou’ in words like about
You're not losing power. You are starting off with half the torque of the diesels you are used too. Lol. I suspect you'd be disappointed with all the gas offerings.
Your probably right
@@workplaytv That being said. GMs torque management tends to neuter the power under hard acceleration. At least it used too. Not sure if they still do that. Supposedly it was to help save Transmissions.
