Chevy gave me a FREE truck! But then took it away.. 😞

- @Chevrolet reached out and asked if I'd like to get the new Silverado 2500HD ZR2 for a week to try out, use like it's my own, and see how I like it. Although there were no posting requirements to the deal, obviously they would prefer if I did, and of course I'm going to take all the free content I can get!
We've been using this truck to do traffic control on some of the heavy duty recovery jobs with the @zackliftinternational4841, used it for off roading in this video, used it for a small family trip and general daily driver, as well as towing my dump trailer around. I'm impressed so far, and it is no question the nicest truck I've ever driven.
You'll still see it in a few more videos that were filmed before it had to be returned, but if @Chevrolet would like to make this a little longer term loan... I could definitely put this thing to work and get some good use out of it!

The truck is truly difficult to appreciate from the videos but having been bailed out this weekend myself with it, I can attest that it's a real beast. However, the bigger machine is Casey. I was in a real pinch and up against it with time and despite calling AAA, asking locals if anyone would help me and calling on local professionals that didn't want to get out in the snow. Casey drove an hour one way and had my problem resolved in just a few minutes proving no job is too big or small for him to resolve. Thank you Casey for your time, knowledge and great attitude it getting things done with no excuses. You're simply the best!
Yay Casey !
No problem at all! Happy to help!
@@canadianwithabeard Full size trucks are extremely heavy & long, not ideal for going off road. I also remember when most things off-road were trucks, but it was because most people only had one off-road capable vehicle.... Everyone now seems to have many vehicles, I have no idea where they get their money. Also, Jeeps & such have gotten much better as dailies.
And he likely was thus able to get another snow recovery job for the channel as well.
Wouldn't expect anything less from this man.
Other companies and men should take note on how he treats others, his community, and his business.
As a retired GM tech I must say it's a beautiful truck, but for me to many options, on today's trucks where everything is managed by modules and ultimately the PCM a faulty dodad can leave you stranded, there's just something wrong about having to get your computer reflashed when you replace a seat cushion due to a failed heating element.
💯 agree.
While all the bells and whistles are cool, they are just another component that has the potential to fail.
Most people don't grasp that vehicles are dependent on computers now and once the computer becomes unhappy, the vehicle doesn't do what it's supposed to.
What I don't like is that most home mechanics can't work in their own vehicle anymore, because of the computer.
ALL of the truck manufactures make city slicker trucks. They are thin skined and it is possible to dent them by just leaning on them. Then there are these Fords. You could dent the truck bed by dropping an empty water bottle in the back!
The wheel wells on that truck do not give you many options for taller wider tires.
@doncindyyoung8341 Would you happen to know where the TPMS Receiver module is on a 2010 gmc sierra 1500??
Just replaced all factory lug nuts on my Sierra. If you have the factory lug nuts that have the stainless steel covers on them, 3rd get rid of them. These little covers can strip leaving you stranded. Happened to a guy this weekend I recovered. We were able to get all but one lug nut off. Luckily, a neighbor close by had a grinder and I was able to cut that cover off. A 15 minute flat tire change in the middle of north bumscrew Egypt ended up being 2 hours.
Exactly they don’t make Trucks simple any more i tried using a scanner tool on my friends Dodge pick up they wouldn’t allow me access fond out you have to have a code that only certified mechanic have permission Ram there a bunch of scum bags.
A $100,000 "assisted living" truck. Gotta love Grump's optimism.
"Three seasons; summer, on fire and ice." Gotta love Ethan's sense of humor.
His laugh is pretty minty too!
You put this truck through what nearly any elk hunter would put it through in Eastern and Central Oregon. This was a realistic driving test.
He needed to give it alot more throttle in some areas had me screaming at the TV😂😂
Definitely on track with the market this model is targeting. I can think of or see it in use for certain industries / businesses or use.
Nothing is more expensive than a free car..
True
Also more fun
A free boat is more expensive…
You can verify that with @FabRats 😆
@@lancenutter1067😂😂
The message here is if any truck manufacturer wants a true test of a vehicle, Casey LaDelle is the answer. What a great truck. As always, great to see Grumpy and Riley enjoying the antics.
So nice that my hard work watching you pays off in a free truck for a week. Love the timing here in Australia too kids are in bed and it my turn with the tv
lol youd be suprised how much they actually make from people just watching LOL its insanity you literally bought his rig and his other dodge to
He does run a commercial towing service that pays the bills. He doesn’t/can’t video a lot of that. I believe YT is a nice bonus.
@@ropeyzkittlez9703 and yet even if I travelled to bend from australia I wouldnt of thought casey would let me ride even his electric bike!
Chevy just got the best video footage of real world use of their truck having fun and play that they could ever ask for! And they received three expert opinions trusted by many others. They just got video gold! Professional production at that level would cost them about the same as the cost of the truck, so I think you can just keep the truck and remind them that you do have an underlift!!!
This truck strikes the perfect balance between work and play for an HD!
I can see the Chevy commercial now," safe enough to go off-road with your little girl and grumpa, in the snow".
Ah, I wondered what the story about the traffic control truck was in the last video; nice of them to give it to you like that :)
Awesome video. I'm happy that Grumpy is there and Riley . When Grumpy said something about assisted living, I lost it.😂 So far, I'm really like the Chevy.😊 Thank you for sharing ! 👍
A reviewer that actually put it to the test no BS here
Lol, the three seasons, “summer, on fire and ice.” I also love the color contrast of giant mud puddles surrounded by snow!
The fact Riley was happy as anything in the back having not puked her lunch spoke volumes to me. Chevy must be very confident in that truck to give one to you for a week, they would know you would absolutely shred it if it were a piece of crap. Look forward to Ep2.
Those grumpy steps with LED lights are going to look real good after they have been used as a rock slider a couple of times! 😂
That's pretty freakin awesome. Super impressed by how much flex it has from the factory, watching it go through those offset whoops was mesmerizing.
Wow, so many upgrades... i have a 2004 Chevy 2500 - no screens, no cameras, no sunroof, no heated seats, no fancy tailgate (more items not listed😢). However it does what I need it to do and IS PAID FOR😊! I could never justify the cost of these new trucks.
That hood scoop drain *is* pretty darn cool!
You can keep your "on Fire" season. Here in NY we have 2 seasons- Winter & Construction!
Chicago is the same. When I took my mom to visit as many of her grandkids as possible we had to go by Chicago. Construction and pay stations. It took nearly 3 hours to get away from there. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!
That truck on tracks. The ultimate driving machine 😀
Satire, I presume...
Hopefully! That’s easily msrp of $95,000 one would be either rich and stupid to put tracks on and rip it around throwing rocks and crap into the paint! Or just plain dumb and financed up to there eyeballs with a $2000 truck payment and $35,000 dollars in tracks most likely financed as well!
@@kenwillis8487 💯
Chevy knew what they were doing by offering you that rig for a week. An honest, straightforward assessment of what that beast is really capable of. Really enjoyed this video with Riley, Grumpy and Ethan (who continues to impress). Looking forward to more Chevy shenanigan videos. Peace Out.
One thing about your channel I like is you dont hold back. If its junk you will let them know. If its good you will let them know. I dont think they could get a more fair reveiw of real world conditions then letting you tell them.
That's exactly why ( I hate Casey LaDelle) is testing it out for an honest review. That is hard to find these days when everyone is bought & payed for . ❤️ Casey .
Casey, I “like” the way you do your homework with numbers and test obstacles. It is “Grumpy approved” and even Riley enjoyed her back seat tour.
Definitely one of your most fun videos, thanks! And...there's apparently more to come! "I have STUFF we can pull around" "It's got steps for Grumpy" "It's got a sunroof! Probably shouldn't open that up now" This one is a treasure...you're like a kid at Christmas. I was surprised you didn't give us a tour of the tow-ability of the truck, or is that yet to come? What no built-in fridge? Microwave? Both a must for the Assisted Living Edition! Great way to start my day...
Rule one with water. Send Ethan through first. If he don't sink we will try. 😁
Pretty darn nice but the $80,000+ sticker price will scare many people away. Looking forward to more videos of this truck in action.
Thanks for taking us wheeling! That was fun!
I think technology is going to be used by insurance, warranty, and law enforcement investigators to support or deny claims. Could be a blessing. Could be a curse.
I’ve been thinking about getting my self a Chevy, now that I see it has camera wipers I’m sold
Why are you making such awesome, entertaining and uplifting videos? Thank you!
You have more dedication to your audience than I would. Riding around with your window rolled down in that weather just to get some cool shots.
I have the mini version- Colorado ZR2 with the Duramax 2.8. Lockers front and rear were standard. It’s a great little truck and it’s very capable off-road. No, it’s not a rock crawler but it does everything I ask it to. I can also squeeze 28 MPG on the highway. Win-win.
I am from Europe. Not many full size USA pickups here, to big. You may see Dodge RAM here and there but not much else. I saw Colorado ZR2 Bison Edition last week. Damn that is best looking pickup ever. Not fan of pickup trucks but this one...wow. You have one hell of a truck mate.
Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all
Pretty smart (and risky) to give you a truck to review. You will tell it like it is and I’m impressed they knew that and still gave you truck! Great vid.
Well if Grumpy is happy...that is truly impressive!
Even Unicorn approved...awesome.
Excellent video and always a nice surprise to see BOTH Riley and Grumpy! The price of that truck tho is completely out of range, absolutely insane. Looking up the list price it's easily $86,000! Looking at dealer inventory, $75,000 for partial match on features, over $96,000 for a best fit on features and options. Just outside my price range. Anyway, it is a great testimonial to the image and trust that people and business place in Casey LaDelle that Chevy just hands him so expensive a toy to play with for a week! Well deserved I say! :)
My 2020 Silverado has always done amazing in Ice and snow. I’m not surprised at all these newer ones do well too!
Love this new opportunity you have and the content you're sharing. 😊
🤭 Some people are just so trusting 😂 just wondering how high the eyebrows of the dealer went at your antics 🤣 as usual, love to the family ❤
No dealer involved
@@CaseyLaDelleeven better!
Was probably a press vehicle they want him to make videos and have fun
So Fun ,Thank you . Some one was thinking , Free exposure , Real world testing , Real World evaluation .
I’m a Ford guy but damn that is a sweet truck. Great video Casey.Thank you.
Hood scoop explanation 👍
General Motors Assisted Living 😂😂 Good one Grumpy ! 🛻💨
Casey it is nice that you all have such nice trails to ride on!
I really enjoy your content! I grew up in Bandon and visited Bend a few times. I appreciate the effort and success you have achieved.
Chevy Salesman to Boss: YT is the "it" place for product placement.
Chevy Salesman Boss after placement: You didn't tell me you were going to pick Casey LaDelle. You're fired!
Whistlin diesel needs to test it.
This video is gonna make so much money for tow companies. Casey knows how to drive really well. Every city joker is gonna think they can do that stuff too.
I'm sure I one to talk because I take my sedan places that people think I'm nuts. I think I would take it more if I had better places to do recovery from.
i think that this truck is built with adventurers or tradesmen that work in very remote areas in mind, able to tow a camper or toys to a remote area, go camping, hunting, fishing or help with building a remote cabin, or maybe even someone who works in the oil fields
Good video Casey.
Really nice truck from Corporate that you got for a week, can't wait to see the rest of the videos.
YEAH Casey. They said take out and play with it. Some good thought put into this one, if the electronics don't start giving trouble which to many of these new vehicles do nowa days. Thank for sharing.
Im impressed! Casey you didn't hear me telling you roll that window up😂. Had fun watching you guys have fun and it's always a treat to see precious Riley and Grumpy too. Excited to see what adventures you find next to test the truck. Stay safe and GOD bless
When you looked up at the sunroof and pondered opening it for a brief second... Back in late 2000s, , I bought a used 2003 Grand Am GT. It was a leased car in its previous ownership. I get into the car, notice it has a sun roof, I'm like "I wonder if that works" not thinking "MELTING SNOW!"... so... after my shower, I had a big time laugh and thought "Yep. Typical. I'm buying this car.". I seriously do miss that car.
As you can tell by my handle, I'm a big time GM fan.
I think the dealer made a very good choice letting you drive that truck for the week. You will put it to the test and give very honest reviews. Even if you dod not post everthing on videos the work of mouth will get around of how well it did and what it did not do well for you needs. Keep up the good videos. I liked Grumpy's comment about being a "assisted living" type of truck the older I get the more I appreicate the added bells and whistles that make it more comfortable.
No dealers involved, this is straight from GM corporate
That's a winner for sure when the manufacturer asks you to try their vehicle out.
They should just give it to you the exposure alone it good and for them it can be written off
Best truck commercial I’ve seen for a while. Job week done!👍
Great job guys. Use it while you can. Thank you 😊
Chevy, ‘like a rock’ literally was in your way for a while 😎
Casey's like oh you want me to TEST this vehicle out?!
I really enjoyed your video it was very informative it also gave me the ability to see what the vehicle can do I wish they would do that on all the vehicles that are manufactured I would like to see more videos like this on other brands of manufactured vehicles
I just picked up a 2017 GMC 4wd duramax crewcab and really love this. It has 148,000 miles on it !
Very nice, glad you got the opportunity to check it out. I do wish though that for the price you're paying, they would've gave it more "off-road" capabilities like the power wagon, such as lockers on both front and rear, solid axle on the front, and sway bar disconnects. Looks like for this package, its mainly appearance.
Absolutely beautiful truck!
Happy to see you getting opportunities like this!
HEY! Good morning Casey and thumbs UP!!
HEY! Grumpy AND Riley!!! 👍
Loved the camera shot at 15:18. Nice work.
I'm glad that you have a new toy to play with, even if it is just a short amount of time.
975 lbs of torque always helps
Awesome thanks for sharing
That's awesome that you get to have fun with companies asking you to try stuff out.
nice trottle control and nice and steady. glad you have the cameras on that truck also mirrors .new semi trucks in europe are now useing Camaras instead of mirrors. Chevy now have some great footage to use and study
I worked for Pontiac dealer in the seventies and the let me take a new 4 wheel drive for a Day and do what I wanted to do 4 wheeled it all day and the only thing that had to be done to it when I was finished with was to center the steering wheel
Check #1 done, good for off road fun. Cameras allow you to self-spot. Can't wait for the hauling episode. Given the look of the interior, already know the answer to Family Vacay Vehicle.
Very nice turning circle in this HD.
Steps for Grumpy... Awesome!
A free truck means that you can do things with it you probably wouldn't do with your own truck. To many things that can go wrong on it to strand you some place! Great video and test run with the truck!
Love the view from the 360 camera!
Your videos are enjoyable including your discussions about the features and capabilities of your various vehicles. I'd be quite interested in learning about your cameras and their mounts and controls and so forth. Thanks in advance.
Noice camera shots here. Thanks for the video.
I just started this, but if anyone can show its true use in real life situations, this channel should do that. That truck is designed for the conditions you get into especially the offroad ones. To bad its not the AEV addition. You could go over the rocks without issues.
I’m impressed by the 4w drive on that thing. All wheels spin. I had an old one and only opposite corners would spin.
WOW holycats Casey that was really impressive for a 3/4 ton. Grumpy had to be so comfortable over there in his heated seat lol 😂👍Just an extra trick to tell you when you are inside the truck if you do the door opener twice,the door will open.
Nice test session only problem is who can afford a $100,000 pickup surly not your average joe
Its not a truck for the average Joe. Do you need 35s? Do you need "DSSV Spool Valve dampers"? Awesome stuff. But let's be real. If you want absolute top of the line everything... its going to be top of the line expensive.
@@PeakDecline like I said something your average joe can't afford
@@jackboagard1461your average Joe makes payments on it for 10 years 😂
Well , 🤔 this 250K "Assisted Living"
version is now LESS than most
houses , so it works-out pretty
well in the long run 😉 .
Throw some AstroTurf & a lawn
chair & small BBQ in the bed ,
and Home is where you drive-to.
@@jackboagard1461don't worry, our cheap old vehicles will still be running while this one is in the shop.
That's an impressive looking truck, and I like the features on it (especially the load/tow ratings and the cameras). Regarding beating it up - if people are familiar with some of the wonderful roads in the PNW, this is daily driving lately!
Love seeing the real world tests of this truck!
Traction control and stabilatrack both have to be turned off to off road, every time when I needed to in my Silverado, never got stuck.
GM finally gets it about making sure the air box is up high and has a water drain.
Had an issue with the equinox awhile back where during heavy rain/spray on the highway the engine would start bogging down/fully chock out because the intake was just in front of the passenger side wheel.
That is some machine....I want one lol...Once you tyred down it managed to keep its feet really good...Stay safe and see you on the next one
Thats like Fords STX package. I got a 3/4 ton thats similarly equipped. Hauled a camper to a camp site and then went off roading up an old logging road. Did great, and surprised me. Then turn around and hauled the camper home.
Wow that was some really incrediblely smart advertisement on GM's part. The truck seems like an absolute beast stock. Casey didn't mess around and definitely started to put it through it's paces. Well done!
Those are nice trucks I 100% agree. And I agree that gm did not put a front locker in due to failure and destruction of the front diff.. how ever they do make selectable lockers aftermarket for them. And their are some upgrades that go with the locker function that bolt onto the diff housing.
As well as the warning that comes with the locker ( accessive wheel spin may cause failure to front axle components)
You don't understand differentials. Lockers and limited slip are much more tougher than open differentials.
@Bryan-Hensley have you seen the diff housing on them trucks?
And have you seen how they operate?
Locking them front diffs up in the ifs cause the housing to twist in the mounts as well as the passenger side extention housing.. don't mater how tough you make the guts.. it's what holds the guts that's the problem.. that is why they have billet and steel bolt on upgrades for the front diff housing as well as upgraded bushings...
I bought a 2021 Denali 3500 long bed duramax in May 2021, it has nearly 85k miles on it now. I haven't done any offroading near what you did in this video but for what I have done very capable. I have 0 complaints, I have only had 1 component failure and that is the camera in mounted by the rearview mirror that does the lane departure, intellibeam headlights and a couple other things went out in about 60 days of ownership.
The 2021 duramax is only 445 hp and 910 ft/lbs not thinking I'm missing much from the slightly higher L5P.
This the coolest video! Wanted to take a 4x4 on that road!
Very nice and impressive truck, the only thing that I have a reservation about is the MSRP😊
Steps for Grumpy!!!! That is the best part !!!
Great trucks. But damn so speedy with all of the whistles and bells…. Keep it up guys
I have owed two GM products since 2007. A 2007 2500HD like that but Z71 Diesel. Had one problem with it during my ownership. Next is a 2016 Colorado 2.8l diesel also Z71. Nothing but DPF and electrical issues before it’s seen 50k. In fact it’s sitting in my driveway right now with the check engine light on again for probably the 10th or 11th time. Waiting for an opening at the local dealer.
Like the way you gave it a “wash” underneath before you started
I thought it was a "Nikola badger" (lol) until you turned it own and herd that sweet diesel sound.
You and your channel are getting a lot of attention from the right people for a dealer to throw you the keys to a new very expensive truck and tell you to go for it. I have to admit that it preformed much better than I expected. All it needs is a front locker and tires. I'm a Chevy man but can no longer afford new ones. Hell I just bought one that was made in this century just a couple years ago!
