I don’t take my new cars to dealers because I don’t have to I don’t because when have !!! Every f€%<ing TIME I DO THEY SAY ITS A JUST SOMETHING YOULL HAVE TO LIVE WITH UNTILL I LOSE MY SHIT AND THEY PULL IT IN AND I FIX IT!!! IN FROMT OF ALL OF THE TECHS AND SERVICE WRITERS ETC ETC THE. RANT AND RAVE AT THEIR FUCKING INCOMPETENT BEHAVIOR!!! And INADEQUATE SKILLS!! I love doing it with customers inside and they ask for their keys back and talk to me in the parking lot! Stop making videos about things you ppl have no idea about!!!! You’re all fucking water brains!

Delete the duramax. 🦅🇺🇸

What a princess, wahhhh my man truck doesn’t have speed sensitive wipers.

to power the 110v outlet you need a converter, and a converter draws power if left on.

Great explanation & video work, would love to see a follow up review after owning it for some time 🎉

Leaving power on to the 110volt power supply could potentially cause charging issue to the battery particularly during short drives. It’s just good energy management. Have you tried adjusting the headlights angle for better illumination of the road. That can change depending on your load. Perhaps with an empty bed your lights are adjusted too high?

Temperature in CarPlay is up to Apple, not GM.

Thank for the great info as we are looking to buy one.

What’s the sticker CCC (or max payload) on the RAM? Or have you added a lot of weight structure to the RAM? 1100 is very low, even for a RAM1500.

My only problem is the mirrors are so large they can obstruct your vision outside. Especially at intersections.

Great video on your Anderson hitch and new Chevy… Looking forward to your Escape 5.0 review as well!

Wow, great information we're looking for a tow vehicle for an Escape 5.0.

Sunroof may be a structural issue of a 2500hd truck - the bigger the hole, the less structural it is, especially off road. 120V - it's not a house and out in the weather - if water was to enter into the outlet then.....

Two videos. Not very observant 🤷🏼‍♂️

Several of the reasons I used to be the biggest GM fanboy were dependability (above all), value, comparitave performance, and looks. These new ones FAIL in every one of these categories! I absolutely wont buy Ford or Chrysler (or whatever its called for these next 20 minutes!), so I guess I'll just hobble around in these older pre-2008 GMs until they just vaporize as dust in the wind. Shame what has happened to automobiles and the world in general. Enjoy your $80,000 Emissions deisel that they can't even spare an extra $6 on proper lighting, rear seat ventillation, or $.10 for floormat fasteners. I designed better looking vehicles when i was 9 years old, and my mirrors didnt have a bigger aerodynamic drag than an entire economy car while lookin' all LGBTQ... Why must an empty truck weigh half as much as a Class A motorhome, and cost $120 to fill with fluid that just vanishes into air? Why must you pay for commercial grade cow piss to clean up those emissions, later guaranteed to have major problems, AND the DPF, AND the EGR, etc!? The Gubment must step in and ruin every good thing! Whats next, Chinese Electric garbage for $150k?... oh wait, were already in that dystopia.😢 No offense meant to the poster of this vid, you seem like a nice guy.

Honestly, im not a fan of adaptive cruise control. You're correct. It is made to keep a food distance. People get in that zone, and the vehicle slows down drastically. I have it kn my toyota. I never use it for that reason. I think it's the nature of adoptive cruise control on any vehicle.

So not to nitpick or tell you your opinion is wrong but to complain about a feature you can turn off or just plain not use is a little absurd. You don’t have to use the digital camera mirror, you can flip the tab and use it just like a regular mirror. Your not forced to use it, so don’t complain about it is all I’m saying

I just bought a 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 hd ltz and I have to say that they must have watched your video. 98% of all your negative features have been corrected. ( LOL). That being said, they still haven’t added inside lighting and the sunroof. But everything else seems to be corrected. If you’re ready to upgrade… find a GM employee or retiree to get a “friends and family “ discount. It definitely helps to get the price down on a truck with a lot of options. Great job on the TH-cam videos. I was considering the same 5th wheel camper.

Well?? Are you still lovin' the Escape 5.0?

Rear view has angle adjust and zoom feature with higher trim.

You are absolutely correct to change vehicles. I had the same dilemma with my F250 and 5th wheel and went to F350, both diesels. Too much risk in case of accident and great piece of mind.

Great video. Waiting in anticipation of your Escape 5.0 review ;)

Was your Ram 1500 a Hemi or Ecodiesel? What year.

I agree that the temperature display is annoying, there is plenty of room for them to put it on the display, but I've grown used to hitting the home button and back to apple carplay after i see the temp, at least it doesn't turn off the apple carplay

Love my truck but how could not mention the extremely large hood that you can't see over. I'm 6'4" and bump things in parking lots because they were so hidden by the large front end.

Thanks 🎉😊

The one small feature that I really like on my 22 High Country 3500 SRW LB, if you are towing with the Tow Haul turned on, and shut down for fuel, to eat or whatever, if you start up within 4 hours, the Tow Haul is still active. I had a 2006 SLT 3500, I pulled a 5th wheel to Alaska and back to Florida, and was stopping for fuel 5 and 6 times a day (you don't want to pass an open fuel stop), and a couple times I forgot to turn the Tow Haul back on and the transmission temp would climb. I had an 18 Denali Dually and you had to turn it back on also. The 2022 High Country 3500 SRW is the best by far of the 3 Duramax trucks that I've owned. All were LB, the Dually was good for towing but not very good for shopping trips etc. I really liked your review

My dads ram shortbed 2wd has less payload then my 21 f150 sc 4x4.

Go to auto zone and buy a jug of def. Top off def every time you put diesel

can i get the link for the console tray?

Great video, I have the same set up with the Anderson hitch except I have the Ram 2500 and tow my 5.0 no problem.

Thank you for talking about the Chevy Silverado. I just got a 12000 mile 2021 3500 Z-71 HD ( none duel rear) i had to have 8 foot bed. I have always bought Ford pickups. Very happy with this 1 Ton. Like you said with Duramax Allison the freeway milage none towing blows me away. I have the best mileage recorded on the dash. My wife got 31.7 MPG on down hill of a mountain pass. The big trackson tires on it, I will buy those tires again. The nouse is so small inside. We got a big Dog seat cover for back. The clip on straps to headrest is wonderful for keeping it coving all the back seat. And the cable leash snaps into seatbelts. The small back window is just perfect for his head to stick out. The great bed steps use them every time i get in bed, great idea Chevy. Ford just started doing bed steps in 2023. The camera down angle to hitch is great, with the two other backup camera controls for backing.

Congratulations on the new truck. Now it looks like you’re pulling a tear drop.

sounds like you should have bought the GMC for some of the issues you have. but they are good trucks.

You should bought a Cummins vs duramax better mpg

How does it tow trailers and is it really comfortable on long trips thanks

im sure theirs after market wire harness to use fog lights with running lights and high beams my camaro has it so all work at same time

I owned a 2020 2500 one issue I had was when I traveled behind like a garbage truck the smell would make its way into the truck. I double checked to ensure the vent was closed and even had the operation checked. everything was functional and operating correctly. My 2007 chevy suburban kept out smells but he the 2020 2500HD could not keep the smell out. One other time a car was stepping on the gas and the hight performance of the car expelled excessive exhaust smell and yes you guessed it the smell made its way into the truck and the vents was set to circulate interior air. There was an area where there was a control burn same situation and the smell made it's way into the truck. The smell of diesel fumes from other trucks would make its way into the cab of the truck as well. This was one of my major gripes. It became such an issue I had thought about trading it in and getting the 2023 - 2024 model in hopes that they indirectly fixed it. no one has complained about this and Chevy did not have nothing on record about this complaint either. Once while travelling from North Carolina to Arizona my Map kept having me make Uturns on the high way. I had to take my phone out to verify my location and direction. Only happened once. I enjoyed my truck like you. I added a gun safe, bed cap from Leer, brighter light bulbs for high beam and low beams. I was going to add, under seat storage in the back seat, and decked storage system for the truck bed.

Problem with is video is the old guy believes all 1500's are equal to the one he bought. Not the case. We have a 2020 1500, Quad Cab, 4x2, 6.4 Bed, Hemi that tows our 5.0TA. Door sticker reads Max Payload:1749lbs. More than adequate to tow our loaded 5.0TA with our 1500. Solution is omit heavy options like crew cabs, 4x4, etc. to increase the payload. No math is necessary. The second, yellow, door sticker gives you the vehicle's Max Payload limit. Payload value "includes" 150lb driver & full tank of gas. Our 5.0TA weighs 4324lbs with a 680lb pin weight.

Dude your way to picky its not a luxury car its a truck man 😂

Hey, are you doing another review on this truck. I mean, I have been waiting.

Idk if GM makes $35k out of those trucks. I think it's a lot less. But who knows.

Great. What is the tailgate rail and bed height of you Chevy 2500? I have RAM 2500 and concerned with the vehicle being too high for the 5.0 TA. Thanks.

Wonder if anyone actually does the accurate way to get mpgs, a computer will tell you anything

YA we have one too, the adaptive cruise was a huge miss

Great review..interesting what you said about the heads up display, I wear Costa polarized lenses and have no problem seeing the display, do you have the brightness turned up? Also your rearview camera zoom/brightness is adjustable. Thanks for the video!

A 6 minute video turns into 25 minute due to too much useless information and talk

As small and light as an Escape 5.0 is, you could tow it with a mid-size little truck, Santa Cruz or Ranger
