Took delivery of my Midnight Edition High Country 3.0 two weeks ago. Phenomenal truck, interior quality/exterior looks are unmatched in person. Video as well as it is, doesn’t do this truck justice.
Must be rich… I refuse to pay the ransom. Way overpriced.
I traded a Ram for a 23 Silverado RST. 2 things I miss the most are the smooth ride and comfortable seats. GM by far has the hardest seats.
after about 40K miles it will break in and become more bearable
Wasnt a fan of the car like ride in ram...was too soft.....any payload and it became mushy
I'm all in on GM right now and love this truck, I agree with those who argue the seats need to be more comfortable, thats certainly noticeable over similar models from other makers... but I don't care enough to change brands. We will see in 5 or 10 years, but for right now it's 100% GM for my money.
8:12 6.2L is naturally aspirated - no turbo(s).
I'm a big fan of the 3.0 Duramax
Yeah I think that would be the engine I would go with. I would probably pass on supercruise as well, but I get the appeal.
I agree, I'm a big fan of that baby Duramax too
I've owned the 4.3, 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.2, and currently the 3.0. The 3.0 is my favorite by far.
I like the LS N/A V8's better
I have a 22 1500 3.0 and after some discussion I’ve heard about oil and def usage while towing I thought I’d pay attention to them during my last trip. I towed 2500 miles with a 6k lb travel trailer and these are my results. Used half a quart of oil and 10 gallons of def.
I bought an LTZ with 3.0 and found the seats more comfortable than the High Country which I also test drove and considered buying. I enjoy your show!
Don’t really understand that. The seats are the exact same
Well said Tim. I like the screen layout better than the others also. And really like the piano keys. They are a great looking truck.
Great review, thanks Tim.
Great review, thx
I like that truck but if Chevy and GMC had better seats I would be interested. The diesel option is great and personally smelling like diesel doesn’t bother me.
Can’t wait for 25 review of diesel suburban with new tech , new lzo, new seats
I’ve had numerous F-150’s and I have the Silverado LTZ and it’s great! They both are good and really can’t tell a whole lot of difference so either is fine with me. Sometimes just a change in manufacturer is not a bad deal. All good! I have the new Lakeshore blue. It really a pretty color. I get lots of 👍 on it!
I just purchased a 2024 LTZ and love it so far. Would have liked the 3.0l but they weren’t discounted quite as much so got the 5.3l. It’ll still do everything I need. In Texas, at least near me most dealers have over 100+ silverados and are discounting them heavily. Neither ford or ram are discounting nearly as much and Toyota is Toyota with pricing
6.2 all day!! Whatever lifter issues is not that huge across the map!! Plus it comes with warranty. Cant beat the 6.2!! Or the 5.3.
Had one of each of 6.2 and 5.3 both have serious engine issues. Pertaining to lifters.
The 6.2 threw a piston out the engine block. My work Chevy Tahoe has a lifter(s) issues now too. You say lifter issues is not that big… but 100% of my GM vehicles with AFM, have had the issue. Overall quality of GM is GARBAGE these days. I used to be a huge fan of GM.
I own a '20 Silverado LT, 5.3 crewcab, shortbed. The only issue I had was the ECM, which I ultimately replaced($499 part,$500programming). I cannot knock the truck too much as overall it runs well. I go 1/2 on the maintenance so flushed the transmission at 33K, oil at 3.5K, radiator at 40K, rear diff at 35K. Brakes are good but about to flush brake lines. And yes, the seats could be a bit softer on a longer ride. However, I am not selling it.
Another good review Tim. I had a 2018 F150 Lariat Sport lease and moved to a 2021 Silverado LTZ at lease end. 2 immediate observations. 1) The Silverado just felt like a more substantial vehicle. This was likely partially due to steel vs aluminum panels, but the Silverado just felt more planted. 2) The seats on the Chevy were just not as comfortable as the F150. This was surprising and something that GM needs to address. Oh, one other thing. The F150 had the 2.7 twin turbo engine. Fastest truck I’ve ever owned, but the turbo lag was a concern when pulling out into busy traffic. I don’t have that issue with the 5.3 in the LTZ. Keep up the good work!
They can keep the super cruise
Crazy to have to pay a subscription later
Just my opinion
There is a fix for the minor oil burning on the LM2. Not an issue on the new LZ0 The def usage is low unless you are towing. 12000 kms and I have added 2 jugs and still have have a tank left. Not towing.
Love my '24 ZR2 diesel, 26 highway mpg in a lifted truck and seats are super comfy (so far)
I just did a video talking about the things I’d change on my 2024 trail boss we/duramax. I’d definitely change the hvac buttons and hate that shifter with a passion. I ordered it a like 6 months ago.
I love those rear camera mirrors. First used on a Traverse test drive and you really can see better behind you.
Super nice, but aftermarket options are 1000x better in every way!
@@wantsanewvehicle not that I've ever seen!
All trucks are pretty decent these days. Looks and drive are subjective. They all seem to have problems and quirks (some a little more than others) but are not the garage from the 80s. Tundra is even still working thru issues of the new gen.
I have the adaptive suspension and 22s on my HC. find the handling to be quite tight and flat in Sport mode (stiffens the shock valving and tightens the steering up) to the point of being almost sport-truck like (previously had a Silverado SS)
With the 3.0 not being the most expensive engine it just makes sense to get the diesel over the gas even if the gas has over 100 more horsepower.
6.2 gas. ✅️
3.0 duramax has more torque and almost 2x mileage.
Just test drove a 3.0 last weekend and I was impressed with the torque + how quick and smoothly it took to get up to hwy speed.
OH your at TEXAS SPEEDWAY Buc-ces! I saw the hotel by the racetrack.
To be fair, I have had 2 of the 3.0 liter diesels, a 21 RST with the LM2, 21,500 miles at trade in and ZERO oil usage, I now have a 24 ZR2 with the LZ0 and 4000 miles on it with ZERO oil usage so far, as far as DEF, if working properly it should use 2%-3% of fuel used, if you are towing you are using more fuel and DEF usage will go up commensurately. When you get the 6.2 you run a greater than normal risk of lifter failure due to DFM, and lately spun bearings on the mains have been occuring. You just gotta pick your poison, but I believe if broken in properly the 3.0 liter diesel can be a great engine. IMHO/YMMV
6.2 all day everyday
Tim, all joking aside, this is one beautiful truck.
So, does the 6.2 cost extra?
Im glad you went with the gas.
Would love to see a deep dive on a driver rating of manufacturer vs. Manufacturer of steering wheel and adaptive cruise/ lane keep controls. Every manufacturer has a different button and control layout and system design and you've used them all. Are any easier or better than others?
2:42... Bell 412 😍
Love the review, love the truck. Despise the price. It’s just not logical. Thanks as always Tim.
Nice looking truck….have they modified the AFM…..fuel management system that sucked?….are they shutting down any cylinders?
Interesting that a full size NA 6.2 liter gets about the same mpg as a midsize turbo 4.
Tim, I think you should order a RAM1500 RHO.
I am pretty much a Chevy guy, love Corvettes. The 6.2L is a great engine. I am liking the RHO?
The relatively high percentage of lifter failures in the 6.2 is a put off.
What percentage would that be?
If keeping either the baby max or the, 6.2 long term then extended warranty (at least 100k) is suggested.
I wouldn’t buy another gas model after I have owned the 3.0L Duramax.
Tim, thanks for the video. would you buy the 2024 Silverado or a 2024 Toyota Tundra? Both seem to have their issues especially with the engine. I am talking about the regular gas engine in both trucks. Would appreciate your opinion. I am in between buying one over the over . I have always been a Toyota guy but the new gen Toyota is making me wonder if I should switch to Chevrolet. Thanks.
6.2 liter doesn’t have turbos. You mention turbo lag at 8:14 in the 6.2.
I absolutely LOVE the lakeshore blue color but I'm having a hard time determining if it's still available on the RST. It's not an option on the Chevy build tool but yet I can find a few of them on dealer lots. Anyone know the answer???
Silverado is still the best all around truck on the market, so many smart truck features. The largest short bed on the market, best tie down, the best bumper steps. The list goes on.
It's also an ugly truck.
@@OGtruthserum Subjective .
@@OGtruthserum highly subjective. personally the F-150 is the worst looking and I hate the weird proportions that Toyota used on the new Tundra (the 2nd gen looked 10 times better).
@@hochhaul The previous generation Silverado Z71 LTZ was my dream truck. This current version is ugly. My favorite F-150 was the 2007 version.
@@terrencejones9817 Yes
Ford F150 = better seat comfort. Ford 5.0 = lower cost regular gas. GM & Ford both have some engine issues so hopefully my 2022 5.0 holds up for the long haul
I love my LM2 Duramax.
Have us as Americans really gotten so lazy we need a tailgate that opens and closes on it own?
My biggest issue with these new silverados/sierras is the frame not being painted, instead coated in a wax... The dealership lifts rub it right off, frames won't last very long in the North East
3.0 duramax in tahoe/yukon. ive been driving coil springs and the pickup just cant compare. debating on wether the air suspension would be better for next suv
emm, no turbos in the 6.2 (were you thinking ford??)... I take it you think the 6.2 gasser is roughly similar to every day drivability and power as the 3.0L - sounds like you didn't notice the HP deficit of the diesel (420 v 305). FWIW I have had zero oil usage on my LZ0 HC
I love that truck and only change would be add the diesel.
Very nice looking truck!! Color is awesome. Does the 6.2 L have oil consumption issues?
6.2 has a lot of issues. I know 3 people that have had issues. 2 of them had lifter problems. The third actually spun a main bearing. All had less than 20k miles.
Not the same oil consumption issue the 3.0L has.
@@cstgx GM just released a customer satisfaction campaign. They're replacing 6.2 engines because oversized lifter bores were causing lifter issues.
@@Pickuptrucktalk I was talking with a neighbor who recently bought a brand new 3500 series Chevy truck with a 6.6 L gas engine. It is currently back at the dealership because of high oil consumption.
Regardless of brand, it sure seems like there are far too many issues with all new trucks when considering the pricing.
If I’m spending over 45k on anything it had better be rock solid.
You're looking for a Unicorn...lol
prices haven't changed.
I've been rattle can spraying any steel under the truck with fluid film lately. Even with the aluminum body and PAINTED and E-coated frame I'm not going to stay ahead of the corrosion where I live. 100 grand for frame waxed half ton, no thanks. You should see how all GMs turn out here. Motor is awesome, no arguing there with the 6.2, but my gosh what a way to spend your money. Thin steel covered with black wax.
I have a module problem waiting on it to be changed out next week
My 3.0 is getting 14 mpg right now
Towing?
My dad just told me he’s having problems with his Chevy 1500. Auto A/C not working, and some message about slow speed shifting
What year is the truck?
Interesting. I have been researching the Silverado with 3.0 Dmax and I have not seen many complaints about AC issues or a message like that.
@@troublew1 2023…
@@hochhaul his is a 5.3 V8
Might not know what I’m talking about, but I think you can still get a 5.3 in the 2024 high country.
Tim... there's a lag with the 6.2 vs the Duramax? If so, certainly not because of the turbos. Did you mean a lag with the Duramax vs the 6.2?
Yes. Apparently I had turbos on the brain.
I would still take Ram for overall comfort.
Why?? No resale for rams
Did you say there’s more delay with the turbos in that 6.2 vs the diesel? 🤔
He did say that. lol. No turbos in the 6.2. That’s blasphemy….
It’s at 8:15 on the video
I’ll take the dirty diesel handle all day every day, diesel is cheaper than unleaded where I am at, when you factor in premium fuel it’s nearly 2x as expensive to operate a 6.2 vs 3.0 diesel.
It must be a subjective thing. I've experienced the last 3 generations of RAM seats and the last 4 Generations of GM seat and in every case I found the Rams much harder and less comforable for my but and back. In every case I prefered the GM seat.
Im SO glad you mentioned the seats. Silverado's have to worst seats on the market. Love the truck but the seats just suck.
seats are firm for sure.......have a high country now and owned T1 elevation, RST, LT and it doesn't matter, they all feel same any year between 2019 to current.....run a seat cover cushion problem solved
I would buy another one anyway, best value and they do everything else so so well, just shutting the doors feels solid and sealed....resale value is good as well, its not a perfect truck but GM has best trucks overall imo......they look badass too and afterall you have to like what you see so its important
had 21 Ram Laramie and sold it 4 months later, felt cheap to me, bed way too small and it started to age poorly even after short time......however big fan of 5.7 hemi and the lights/brakes were great.....wouldnt buy another though
am in a 2500 HD but its still same as 1500......
Which seat cover did you go with? Thanks!
@@fit4ya1975 forget but it's like a neoprene cover and run a cushion underneath...I work construction so don't want to tear up leather
Prolly just get away with seat cushion tho....bought it on Amazon
We now have a Johnstown, CO Bucies that is much closer to your home. I would love to help you out with making a video. Love the truck too, but they are all overpriced.
Tim. There’s no turbos on the 6.2L at 8:14 you said this has turbos. lol
So Tim... there's a lag with the 6.2 vs the Duramax? If so, certainly not because of the turbos. Did you mean a lag with the Duramax vs the 6.2?
Same question. I didn't understand that comment.
@@KK-td2nd I have a 2019 Silverado with the 6.2. It has no lag when I get on it. Best engine I’ve ever owned. I love it
Subscription service for something you already paid for should be criminal. I know we all use Apple Maps or Waze or whatever, but even in a $70k truck you have to maintain a subscription for the built in google maps to work. Now you have to maintain subscription for the super cruise.
Try owning one for longer than a year like your typical consumer would. GM's fall short in the long run. Any vehicle is good for the first couple years and up to about 50k miles.
The Diesel engine is NOT the STOCK engine in the HIGH Country Silverado. The 5.3 liter engine is the standard engine and the 3 liter diesel and the 6.2 V8 are the optional engines.
I’m tossing around a new truck Silverado with the 6.2 or the tundra non hybrid. You have had both which one did you like better.
id steer clear from the Tundra. Have one now and so many fit and finish issues.
Thanks for the update!
The Silverado 3WT is the better buy.
The oil useage in the 3.0 is fixable, their are several parts with faulty welds that are associated with the oil loss. DEF is an easy fix, delete the truck….
Tim I agree with you on the GM seats. I have a Denali diesel. I love everything about it but the seats are horrible!! I am getting rid of mine because the seats are so bad. I hope they make a change in 2025.
Agree. I got rid of my 2020 Denali 2500 Duramax due to the small and hard seats. Hope they change em in the future.
Tim, all I know is the 3.0 diesel is DAF. It was designed to fail. The crappy baby diesel has torque like a big V8. GM should have gave it a 100 ft. lbs more torque and then everyone would have wanted one.
PS. 22 inch rims are almost as stupid as the 3.0 diesel.
lol you’re ram not here. I’d start looking at ones on dealer lots. There has to be one with ram box cheaper then what u order.
All is well until the camshaft fails, lifters fail, O-rings fail, starts burning oil like crazy, all because of that cylinder shutdown bullshit. $7000 later you’re back on the road.
I don't think the 6.2 has cylinder deactivation? If it does (or at least you can with the 5.3) you can easily permanently deactivate that feature.
@@wantsanewvehicleJust search 6.2 L lifter failure and you will see… too many. It’s disgusting that all these manufacturers don’t actually fix major issues in their engines and transmissions.
@@wantsanewvehicle The 6.2L does have it but I will admit it is more "robust" than the 5.3L. I'm aware of this issue because it happened to my Dad's GMC Sierra about two years ago. He only had 138,000'ish miles on it and all of the compenents went on the motor that I described (and some I forgot) and it cost him $7,000 in 2021. I cannot imagine what it costs now with Bidenflation.
He did tell me in conversation he was told the 6.2L has the issue but it tends to come later do to as they said the parts being "more robust". I'm assuming it is due to the additional power and torque of the motor.
What is really said is my younger brother is driving his family around in the 2001 Suburban we all grew up in that has the 5.3L V8 and has almost 400,000 miles now on it. The 2007-Present 5.3L is a ticking time bomb waiting to happen.
I've driven over 750,000 miles in GM V8's. None of the above has occurred. Even with a fleet of 50+ GM trucks. All have at least over 6000 hours of operation none of these problems have occurred and some in the fleet have been in service since 2007.
A few of the Ram and Charger Hemis have wiped camshafts.
@@Lq32332dumb comment. The failure rate is less than 3% and that's below the industry average.
The lifters have left the chat 💥
Tundra crank bearings have left the chat
Dont over pay, find a dealer with 10k off
I own a 2024 Trail Boss with the 3.0 Duramax. Love the truck but quality issue's over the last 5 months have been terrible. Going back to Toyota for the next truck.
What kind of issues have you had? Have a 23 tundra and thinking about going back to a Sierra for the same reasons 😂
I would buy but there are to much money
I like your videos. I disagree about the tailgate down button at least for GMC upper trims. Over totally useless, do not know anytime needing to open tailgate from inside and in GMC where button is on bottom it gets hit accidentally and opens tailgate and tailgate can get damaged.
I jammed a bread tie under the button inside my AT4. It has been bumped twice and the gate has gone down without me knowing.....not anymore. If they made that button a double push or a push and hold for 3 seconds the problem would be solved.
And how about a notification on the dash when it opens??? There is one for the inner gate but not the big gate.WTF
Totally agree
I like that button better than the stupid all windows down at the same time button…that one is useless to me….i actually use the tailgate down button some times
@@Getusom That is the who farted button! I use it when it's really hot out to do a quick cool down.
@@mr.yamaha2855 yeah. I guess that’s the best reason for having it. Hahahaa
3.0 duramax or 2.7 turbox max is only thing worth a damn..
5.3 and 6.2 have gotten worse on their lifter failures
5.3 is base engine.
Ah, they changed that from the last time I looked.
80 thousand ??? i would tell GM to shove it
It's time for a redesign! I have hated this body style from the beginning and now it's getting long in the tooth. The other problem is that GM has priced themselves out of the market. It's not even a good truck!
stay away from the 5.3 and 6.2 if you dont want lifter problems
had 3 of em not a single issue......
@@kirkdunn1379 wish I could say the same
@@allroadsawesome I get it, sucks regardless of brand....and they all have problems....just luck of the draw
Buddy had 2 2019-2021 F 150s new and both had tranny/eco boost problems...Ford bought 1 back and other they fixed after numerous tries
I did buy a gas 3/4 ton tho for reliability/capability after those
Good looking truck.
But those wheels are FUGLY!
The Tundra and this Chevy look so much alike.
Wow those dabs are really kicking in huh
Where tf am I supposed to plug in a radar detector?
I always tap into the rear view mirror harness. You can find a ground, and a switched hot wire, and you're good to go!
It is a nice looking truck, but it's a GM and I'm a Ford guy.
I believe ford has the most quality issues at the moment.
You shouldn't be either, lol.
Life is too short to devote your life to a brand. Go out and try something new man. And at the end of the day, ford could care less about you, just like any other brand so don’t be loyal haha.
@@Cooldibs no loyalty on my end, just pointing out the current state of ford. Most vehicle brands are suffering in the quality side of things right now. However, I think ford is the leading champ. Brand loyalty is for dumbasses. Why give your money to a brand? You should want the best truck, regardless of brand.
@@avidwaterfowler7522I agree 100% I actually meant to reply to @markmiller haha. I love my 2022 f150 5.0!
