I’m really impressed with the new interior on the Silverado/Sierra. It’s a huge improvement over the 19-21
Better than the Tahoe/Yukon honestly
The price increase reflects that. A 2019 LT Trail Boss was easily had for under $50k. Good luck finding that after the interior update.
Looked up the price and freaked out when I saw it starting at $71k. Then I checked the Raptor and that starts at $76k. I don’t understand how manufacturers aren’t starting to slash truck prices yet since sales are slowing, these are getting so out of reach.
I honestly hope they learn the hard way
they arent competitors and i dont know why ppl compare them. the zr2 is a mud/offroad truck, the trx/raptor are baja dune sand trucks
@@tl.carson they might be geared towards different types of off-roading but they’re definitely competitors based on price and the fact the ZR2 is the most capable Silverado. Trail Boss competes with the Tremor and the Z71 competes with the FX4.
@@XAMPOL yeah? Do you really want the companies which screwed you over with the prices & the intentionally high repair costs (added unnecessary gimmicks) bailed out from bankruptcy with your tax money?
To be fair a zr2 is mostly fully loaded at 71k. The raptors can get up to 90k before the Raptor R. Plus ford dealers love Mark up. All the silverado zr2s were sold at msrp or 3k off at all my chevy dealerships locally.
great forward visibility. can't wait til one of these fuckin things just rolls right over my brz.
If they're going to keep making these giant vehicles with shit front visibility, they better start requiring CDLs for this shit. Normal people can't handle it.
Sincerely,
A long hood Peterbilt driver
You know its bad when the work trucks are better to see out of because they don't get jacked up on factory lifts. Even an LT is like nearly 3-4 inches higher off the ground than the WT and the space between the tire and the wheel well is so badly large it looks like the dealer forgot to take out the spring spacers for easier loading off the hauler. I can't believe we just sell people vehicles like this, lmao. I swear first gen Colorados are jumping in price now because people realize just how much easier to live with as an actual truck they are compared to new models.
@@Deleteguest thank you for your work. America runs on diesel.
modern utes are ruined. had to drive my dad's triton today and for all I know I might've taken out pedestrians left and right - all I can see is far away and the stupid huge hood hiding a literal 4cyl diesel
@@Deleteguest Thanks for your input Hllary.
Got the 2024 trailboss with 6.2 love the truck honestly wouldn’t upgrade in future this truck has it all … nice interior and so fun to drive
I think the squeaks are from the Tourneau covers. At least that's what i've noticed once the covers were put on. Prior to that, no squeaking.
Ahhh that V8 sounds so healthy! I’d recommend also trying the 3.0 Duramax. It’s incredible how great the fuel economy is (close to 30 mpg highway), and the sound is really nice. Pulls reasonably well too. From what I’ve been seeing, much more reliable than the 3.0 V6 diesel Dodge is using.
Yeah, I just love the idea of an engine with the timing set put in the REAR along with a wet belt for the oil pump. I can't wait to drop the transmission and/or pull the engine just to replace wear items.
@@nodak81 Only gotta do the oil pump belt once in the 100-150k mile range. I agree, it’s a dumb design but if it doesn’t have issues then🤷🏻♂️.
@@nodak81 most people trade their vehicles in before that so not a real deal maker
@nodak81 oh no I got to pull the transmission out at 150k miles. For normal people that like one every 10 years.
A 3.0 durmax sucks on hp...sure 25-30 mpg..remember diesel is typically 1 or more a gallon than your average regular gas..so saving😂
God the wheel looks so clean I love it
I understand times change and vehicle prices increase. Its just crazy to think a 4 figure note is normal now for a well equipped truck.
ZR2 with the 3.0L Diesel would be my sweet spot.
Til the emissions go out lol
Id assume the ZR2 is more in line with or comparable to a Tremor and a Rebel, not a Raptor or a TRX.
Why does everyone say that? It’s a clear upgrade over the tremor or rebel
Trailboss does
Interior looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the previous model
I like how the center radio is tilted towards the driver like the GMT 900 trucks.
Could not be more correct about Rhode Island highways
😂
Nice drive brother
That looks so comfy
FYI, I’m pretty sure GM said that the rock sliders can’t actually support the weight of the full truck.
TFL placed this truck on a lift and they’re not mounted to the frame.
what a great truck man
Been to Rhode Island only once, definitely a different vibe. The pizza was good, though! And I could definitely hear that strong northeast accent in a neighborhood I went to!
I completely forgot I was watching a video on a truck.
The architecture of these homes was enough to distract me towards the end. Especially those windows on that house located on the right side around the 13:35 mark. Must be a Rhode Island thing.
Stay classy my friend.
Sucks these things are so expensive
I love my refresh z71 Rst the baby Duramax is awesome
I build your 10 speed transmission, I actually install the valves and springs into the valve body's
7:34 that’s what she said
I have a 2022 LT trail boss refresh, and I am enjoying! But, would have loved to get my hands on a ZR2!
Im a chevy guy, but the little squeaks would infuriate me. So that is why in 2015 I bought a Toyota Tundra with the 5.7 V8. After 150k miles, there are still no squeaks or rattles. But I still love Chevy.
That’s the biggest problem with GM, they make very attractive vehicles with lots of cool features. But the quality is so inconsistent in their products, and it’s the little things like the creaks and rattles. The shaky panels. In a truck with less than 5k miles. What’s it gonna be like after 200k miles? Compare it to the quality of a Toyota vehicle, like your 2015 Tundra, after 7-8 years 150k miles and shows no signs of wear and tear.
I definitely agree 100% I used to have the Zr2 Colorado and it squeezed so much it drove me nuts. I ended up selling it because I had too many problems with the cv boot and I couldn’t take the squeaky noise any longer. Do you know what it is?
@@QueTimporta420 it probably was the cv boot, I’m not really interested in dealing with those issues, which is why I have a Lexus GX. If your looking for a truck that will run forever and never break. 4Runners, GXs, and Tacoma’s are all good options.
@@zoomzoom3839 thanks a lot for the reply sir! I appreciate it. I’m in the market for something off road capable and reliable so thank you man
Not to mention the design in some places is kinda whack. There’s just one stock for the turn signals and windshield wipers on the left side. No stock on the right so it’s perfectly open for a column shifter a classic truck design, but no they got that cheap looking plasticky gear lever mounted to the center console and it’s just taking up space for a storage space or cup holder. Just really strange.
Amazing ❤
The Multimatic spool valve shocks are better than Fox shocks. It's the other suspension components Ford uses in the rear that make the difference. There are upsides and downsides to the suspension design for both. They are both very similar but very different trucks. The Raptors have softer springs for the style of offroading it's optimized for. The ZR2's are a bit stiffer so it still does well with payload but it can still run pretty hard off-road. Chad Hall Racing is doing a lot of cool stuff with the Colorado and Silverado ZR2's.
GM's recent trucks are one of the better executed products they do these days. It's unfortunate that some 2022-23 6.2's and 5.3's had lifter issues due to a supplier sending them out of spec springs.
Those are the biggest parking spaces I've ever seen, there are narrower B roads here in the Uk!! 😮
Looking forward to you comparing it to an F-150. Love the new design here inside, and Ford is just as nice. These trucks are so freaking nice.
Just wait for the zr2 meteor
The thing is , The ZR2 will run Baja much more comfortably than a Raptor in Bison trim, you will not be doing more than 100 mph, in the desert and the motor will easily push the truck past that.
Its development was on a racing series. Its super capable.
Its a better rock crawler than TRX and Raptor thanks to rockers and multi matics
Biggest thing. Locking differentials
Duratracs are definitely on the noisy side, even among other tires in that class. You have to rotate them every 5000 miles if you want to keep the road noise in check. They are horrible if you rotate every 10k.
You don't have to turn the headlights on with the touchscreen in the Colorado, they come on automatically. But for if some reason you want to turn the headlights off while driving down the highway, yeah you'll have to search for the screen to turn them off. Not sure why so many people are concerned with having that ability, but it's a weird country these days...
Of course GM would incorporate their own infotainment software in lieu of car play 😂
Which Camera Are You used in this video to shoot pov ?
Love from Myanmar ❤
I really would be happy with the Colorado ZR2
That's the sweet spot of price and capability for 99% of buyers.
The redesign of the Colorado ZR2 is mean looking! Especially with the desert boss package.
These prices will be standard going forward..after covid all downhill, despite the crash coming for most manufacturers they won't lower much more either way
:35 And the Tundra TRD Pro.
And I love the way the rear glass on the tundra rolls down
Very nice truck!!! The price stop me from buying it I can’t see spending $77k plus a markup at some dealers for a Silverado so I went with the 2023 Ram Laramie 4x4. I don’t plan on being out off roading crazy anyway. But very nice truck to bad the price scares away Chevy fans.
Can you do a Ford explorer ST
Is that a Chevy tri fold cover sir?
I have the Silverado 1500 RS 6.2, it’s a beast, it’s quick, agile, and the MPG is not horrible, unless you have lead foot, my trim level rides really smooth, the ZR2 is going to be harsh, but it will climb a mountain
What are you smoking that you think the truck that has more sidewall and specially tuned offroad suspension is going to be harsher on road. Why do you think the zr2 can tow less than other models. It's because it has softer suspension. I've driven the high country with adaptive suspension and the zr2 back to back and the zr2 handles potholes and harsh roads better.
I smoke Cubans, when i can get them, I've driven the Bison, the TRD PRO, the Ranger Raptor, they don't ride nearly as smooth as my RST, just test drove a Tundra limited, rides like a Town car, no leaf springs fullty independant@@ferretsmiles
This truck is bigger than Chinatown Boston.
Nice beautiful truck, but really expensive! You'll need to win the lottery to afford these new truck. Expensive.
What’s that cover you got?
I’m going 13 mpg on mine not sure what you’re doing to get 17
There saying for 2024 it will have a supercharged v8
Did the truck have rearview digital mirror camera?
Yes
not ever paying that much for a truck... no way jose
U.A.W.
❤
If you can't see out of the front of your truck sitting in the driver's seat so much so that you need a front camera so that you don't damage public property it might be just become a general safety issue at that point and maybe you shouldn't drive the thing
Not that big of a truck. Minesba crew cab regular bed. About 10 inches longer
Is that your Nintendo Switch underneath the rear seat?
Haha probably more fun. That’s just a GoPro case
the truck is great. the video explaining the features is great. the part that gets me is when you act like it's ok to be on your phone and drive your truck 😅 maybe set your phone down while you drive? the hood is so tall I can't see a child cross the road in front of me. but if you aren't checking your phone you would see that person.
Phone? Try the infotainment screen. Plus you’re telling me that you don’t see 80% of drivers around you pick up their phones? I’m not advocating it but I live in reality where it’s constantly happening.
Lol come drive in Jersey Tedward
I avoid it it all costs haha
@@TedwardDrives lol
@12:38 the song chasing shadows by santigold is seen playing, I listened to it, and Tom, if you see this I really fw your music taste love your content keep it up 🫶
Thank you!! Appreciate that you find the little easter eggs I leave
try finding one lol
The Silverado needs a supercharger
8:10 This coming from a Ma driver... xD
so you know its real!
Btw you don’t park near others. They will door ding you. I park away and walk. 0 door dings in 5 years.
Third🎉
First, uppa tedward
Nvm I wasn't first lmao, well played other subs
Those wheels look so dinky and small compared to the body
How big do trucks need to be before we start requiring special licenses for them? Like you mentioned, the lack of visibility is scary. Especially when 90% of these trucks will be grocery-getters and that's it. I love cars but I also think enthusiasts should especially encourage public transit. It will keep the roads clearer for people who want to drive, and give an alternative for those who don't.
I completely agree. I love driving, but things have gotten insane. We really need more public transit and licenses for "light trucks" like this behemoth and truck-based three row SUVs
I drive a '21 sierra HD. Which are way bigger. And with a 4'' lift too. It's easy to drive when you're used to it. A special license would be a waste of money and stupid. (No offense)
@@jacob5014 pedestrians shouldn’t have to worry about lifted trucks with bumpers at eye level.
@@AdamKlingenberger Oh yeah they should. Especially round in Texas
7:06 It absolutely isn't a mistake, assuming it's half-decent. Do you really want Apple/Google to have a monopoly on in-car entertainment?
I understand your point, but it's what people know, feel more comfortable with, and what they expect. I'm pretty sure some folks would give this truck a pass as a deal breaker if it doesn't have Android Auto or Apple Carplay as standard.
@@seiph80 I get that, from a UI/theme standpoint. However, it isn't difficult for car manufacturers to make their systems look like an Android/iOS product.
@@thearousedeunuch They'll go by what's more cost effective, allowing software already made versus creating an in-house one.
@@seiph80 I'm aware of that, which is why I feel like we should support variety as consumers. Otherwise, Apple/Google will take over the market. If/when they choose to move away from infotainment, we'll be SOL.
Don't like this at all...give me the work truck crew cab with the v8...
wheels to small... looks weird
ONLY the front bumper water spray hole ----next to the front camera,,
THat's it,, that splash hole is worth more than this entire vehicle,, gmc, chevy have a very rigid mind,, stone rock head-----don't want any high tech engine like FORD high power output engine,,
If you think Rhode Island drivers are bad, you are free to come here anytime to South Florida and see how much that statement holds up XD
First
Little questionable that the forward visibility in these is to the point you need a front camera to not hit a small adult. Trucks have gotten so ridiculous. I love all the utilitarian shit but fuck it's like they want it to kill people.
Next time they’ll make it out of glass so you can feel better
@@Jimmy-ms4sj Typical burger chomping american pig response.
cars are getting too big man 😞
Over the last few months I've noticed that Chevy's TV ads for the Silverado were lackluster to say the least. The ONLY feature they promoted was the fancy tailgate and nothing else! Who is going to buy a truck based on the tailgate having a couple of lame party tricks? lol
pooper
U lost me at $70 something dollars
I didn’t set the price 🤷♂️
TOO MANYA PPL HAVING lifter issue. Chevvy won't even help these poor owners. Pretty bad warranty service. Avoid 6.2L
in the center of your tach you have the time and temp. What is that in center of the left side speedo area?
