      @@2011buddylee I think they chose the right base/across-the-board engine. I also wish they had a higher horsepower motor that had a better exhaust note, but can imagine that it might still be coming to help compete against Ranger Raptor. Chevy/GMC just announced a lot with the Colorado/Canyon, and are probably holding a few things back to keep the truck fresh next year. -Bryon Dorr

      I don't think you'll be disappointed with he truck. I want one. Sharp rocks at high speeds. But also OEM spec tires that just don't have super strong sidewalls. A few flats were also from an install issue on the beadlock-capable wheels. -Bryon Dorr

    Wait, this new truck failed at going up a snowy slope and you didn't show it? This is a PR video...

    • @ExploringElements
      @ExploringElements 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It did fail at going up a deep snowy mountain, as did the Race Truck on 35s that was breaking trail, including after some digging with Maxtrax. That was shown in detail in the video.With time and less trucks it would have made it no issues, but with a 11 vehicle convoy and night fast approaching turning around was the right choice. If you watched the video I wasn't easy on many aspects of this truck, especially the engine and tires. I've been doing this for over a decade and pride myself on providing my real world experience and opinion, not PR/marketing fluff. -Bryon Dorr

    what air pressure when you got the flat? I'd hope something like 20-25 psi.

    • @ExploringElements
      @ExploringElements ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We were running full air pressures on all these trucks the entire time (at Chevy's request). So I think around 36 PSI when we got these flats. For sure the truck would have performed even better if aired down. Was impressive how well the shocks did in this terrain at full tire pressures. -Bryon Dorr
