I bought a 2020 3500 High Country a few weeks ago Towed 27,000 lbs with it today up some pretty steep roads. I was really impressed. I can’t believe how capable these new trucks are.
How much does a 420 cat backhoe weight? Weights Operating Weight - Maximum 24251 lb 11000 kg Operating Weight (estimated) 17271 lb 7834 That is the weight of the CAT 420 backhoe The trailer is a 24 foot gooseneck with 14,000 lb axles.
Eh...the 23/24 F350 Tremor High output is hard to beat. Front limited slip, can be had in f250 or f350, xlt lariat or platinum trim. Greater payload and towing capacity. If you get the f350 xlt tremor high output no sunroof you get a whopping 4230 lbs of payload. At4x duramac comes no where close!
@@vinnie8495 You can’t compare an AT4X to a xlt. GMC on the lower trim levels has over 4k payload as well. And you will find that a lot of people are switching from the High output to the duramax.
I like how on the Ike Gauntlet tests with the petroleum powered vehicles its a matter of "can we maintain 60mph easily" ... "what is the 0-60?"... "how many times do I have to tap the brake pedal?" and with EV's its "Will we have enough juice to make it home or will we need to hitch hike our way back to the office?"
how so? The straight 6 cummins is one of the most reliable engines on the market, and based on TFL's testing a couple years ago, when loaded up really heavy it was the only truck could control the weight the whole way down without touching the breaks. And if you look around, most guys who hotshot or do other long haul type applications use ram trucks. @@jonathancole6124
Actually, rams have the single worst transmissions in the truck market. Now, they are NOTORIOUS for electrical problems. I used to have a pos 2020 ram, and within the first month, the transmission went. Fixed it, and my buddy bought a Chevy Silverado 3500 Dually DURAMAX diesel. I thought about getting one, but couldn’t afford it. Then, I noticed the ram had rust starting on the frame. This was in 2021. Long story short, I will NEVER buy a Chinese piece of garbage fiat foreign vehicle. I bought a Chevy 1500 LT, and it is AMAZING. It’s a 2023. Now, me and my buddy both drive our Chevys and he has friends that drive Chevys and his girlfriend has some hot chicks, and they ALL own GM vehicles. GM owns the auto market.
Best team for reviews on TH-cam! I was waiting to order this very truck. If I knew which gear it was in, if I knew the measurements and it was as quick as the Ford. I would have bought it, as of right now I have a 2024 F350 SRW HO Platinum Tremor on order but prefer the look of that Sexy Beast. The good news is that GM is building them much quicker. Almost got me GM.
These trucks are getting so expensive because everybody and their brother is buying them as status symbols to commute back & forth to their desk job.. it started with the Raptor and has only gotten worse.. now it’s affecting the people who actually NEED an HD truck..
You have a good point, but if you NEED really an HD then it shouldn't be a big issue since you can claim most of the expenses on it. I assume when you say NEED you mean people who use them as a work tool most of the time. Like myself.
So…… I’m not defending those who buy HD trucks they don’t need, because it is common and is kinda silly… I do steel / metal building erection and absolutely do need an HD truck; but I also don’t complain and blame my truck’s high price on others who are paying for something that they want with money they earned. Isn’t that supposed to be the whole point of freedom? Sounds like you are blue collar and seems like you would appreciate the American freedom to do what you want to do….. but instead, you’re apparently just mad at the world
You don’t NEED to get these fancy lipstick trucks. I have a 22 2500hd wt with all the truck packages that are important (5er, plow prep and camper, z71 ect) and it was 51k.
The most equipped HD GMC off-road truck with No front differential locker? At 104k, they kind of missed setting the bench mark AT4X Still an amazing piece of equipment.
bought my house in 2012 for 250k, just to give everyone a prospective on how insane inflation and un affordable these trucks are. i drive 3x 10 year old plus cars and spent a total of 50k on all 3.
🥱 why not max load like the other tests? 11k lbs is half ton towing territory nowadays... Inconsistent testing will yield Inconsistent results... I appreciate the time and effort though.
These trucks are absolutely amazing!! Everything is overpriced today, so I think they might ought to be dropped about 30k, but, I’m curious to see what mileage it gets from full, headed east in I70 out of Denver to empty.
It's interesting to see all four tires set to 55lb of air pressure. My 24 HD Denali tells me to do 60 in the front and 80 in the back. I would much rather drop that rear pressure for "some" relief on bumpy road surfaces, when not towing. Thanks for showing me it's okay to do :)
Would love to see you guys find an off road equivalent of the IG. Get one off road trailer (say Conqueror UEV 19) and see which truck runs your “Dirt Gauntlet” the best… that way we see how well each truck tows off road with exactly the same trailer. Would love to see the AT4X vs a Ram Rebel HD vs a Ford F-250. You could compare mileage, traction control, suspension, etc,. Whaddaya say??
Awesome! The price is the only problem but that is a great truck if you need that capability. Thanks Andre and Mr Truck for another fun and informative ride through the Rockys!
I like when Andre and Mr. Truck get together. They have great chemistry and are always a pleasure to watch. I wonder what "Cowboy" is in Russian? Whatever it is,.. Andre, totally is one! Lol. I believe that truck has 3:23 axles. The 1500 At4x comes with 3:42s. As well as the Canyon. I really wish GM kept the 3:73s, with the Duramax. After all its a HD truck. I think Andre needs to trade his Colorado in for The AEV HD.
The 2500 ZR2 non AEV edition can be found for a pretty decent price and I'm really leaning towards getting that truck. The RAMs and Fords are so expensive now the only not awfully priced truck are the Chevys. If you're going to spend the money adding aftermarket parts I would see the AEV edition being worth it as it's actually a decent price for what you get while keeping your warranty
@gmfan6029 nah, it's only got 190 miles on it. Needs to break in some to perform. I don't drive like grandpa, but I do maintain it like him. My shit looks better after 10 years than most after 6 months.
I don’t like the AEV versions, GMC or Chevy, but I don’t use my trucks hard enough to need the features. My buddy is an engineer & excellent welder so the bumpers are his thing. You don’t grind away his welds,,, they are artwork! I would be happy with a ZR2 Silverado 1500 DuraMax or a Colorado ZR2. Both fit my needs.
I love the round-trip efficiency numbers. I believe you should verify the numbers though and not just trust the computer since they can be *optimistic*.
Why are you guys not testing the 6.8L Super Duty? And dont tell me you are waiting for Ford to send you one. TFL clearly has the finnances to lease their own locally given what we've seen you guys wastw money on.
I like seeing Andre and Mr Truck together on these Ike runs. I don’t always agree with their opinions but I do like to watch them. With that said Andre come on man, do the math based off that towing sticker. You’re an engineer! 27,500 GCWR - 8,655 stated curb weight = 18,845 pounds. The sticker says it can tow 18,500. So that’s leaving you 345 pounds for a driver and cargo. This truck can tow 18,500. And also the towing sticker has never been VIN specific! It can’t be. It gives you a max GCWR and it gives you a max tow rating. Based off your trucks specific weight with how you would load it plus any family or friends you take with you on a trip will determine how much you can actually tow lol. It’s been this way forever. The towing sticker just list the specific truck configurations capacities right there on the truck so you don’t have to search through the owners manual and/or an online towing guide. It’s up to you and me (the end users) to make sure we are not exceeding those capacities.
I got a new 2022 Crew cab long bed F250 4x4 with the Godzilla, 4.30 gears with a rear locker, and a 48 gallon gas tank for $50,000 plus tax after Ford A-plan discount. This truck is obviously nicer, but not twice as nice. And this 100k truck will be rusted out in 10 short years, which is a shame. With the cost of these trucks they could at least make them aluminum bodied like the Ford trucks and give you a 7 year 150,000 mile warranty.
As always, great video TFL crew. Sorry Andre, I need to call BS out on the score. This truck deserves the full 5 stars. If you need to reach into the bed from the side, use the bed side steps to reach in. It’s there clear as day. You forgot to point that out. To me, I don’t care about the high price,it’s totally worth it. I’ll take it over the over priced and less off road capable Ford Raptor and Dodge Ram TRX. I know this GMC doesn’t compete with the two, but the GMC is cheaper, more capable, and more reliable. Don’t care what others say, I’m sticking to my options.
Must be nice that you can afford a 100k truck! That's unfortunate, because when people like you are ok with these outlandish prices, the manufacturers will continue to raise their prices, making these trucks more out of reach for the average person to obtain! Not ok!!
@@BigBadJohnDiesel Clearly you don’t like living in the times everyone is living in. Either get used to it or go back in time 200 years when everything was simple.

I much rather buy expensive reliable American (GM) trucks than ugly unreliable and uncool European super cars to show off me and everyone else is that I’m successful.
@@BigBadJohnDiesel it’s 2024 everything is expensive. Have you seen home prices in any booming city? Or grocery prices. Or good work clothes and power tools.. the list goes on. Not to mention an college education that I dropped out of to start my own thing. it sounds like you’re just envious of really hard working people like myself who can afford a loaded hd truck.. I recently bought one of these trucks to tow and drive a lot. I don’t like the payment or the huge down payment I put down but I’m not blaming other people. You can buy a base model hd truck with the diesel motor for the same exact price of a loaded diesel for whatever time frame you’re wanting to live in.
Priced for a lower volume market. It would be a waste to buy as a daily driver on the asphalt jungle. This is not needed for almost all pick up owners in today's market, it is attractive to look at but most can do without all the off-road fluff. I would like to go off road but most do not. Thanks TFL for the IKE Gauntlet show case - great job as always.
You can get a standard LTZ or a ATX truck and to upgrades to make it a safe and reliable off road on road truck for a lot cheaper then $100,000.00 plus truck.
always nice to see another Ike gauntlet test... I am wondering when you are hopping to be able to test the tesla "cyber truck" and to get compairasons on usefulness vs a normal truck and I want to see it on the Ike fully loaded and i would love to see normal duty loaded to compare but that's just me
Why don’t they make a real break that runs in the cylinders and not in the exhaust something that you know when you’re going down the hill and it’s locked in it’ll maintain the speed that you said it at you. Don’t have to worry about it. The downshifting to try to control the speed. It will just stay where it is.
Jesus is coming sooner then we think by looking at world events. here is the salvation prayer for those who are not saved, pray this with your kids so u know that they are saved and everyone you know. Jesus is coming quickly Dear Jesus Come into my heart, forgive me of my sins, wash me, cleanse me, set me free Jesus, right now I receive you as my lord and savior. I believe you are the son of God and you were raised from the dead, thank you for saving me and forgiving me, I am born again. I am forgiven and I am on my way to heaven because I have Jesus in my heart. Amen
For what you’re getting with that truck and comparing it with the highest trim level from ford and Ram I think it’s a reasonable price all the way period.
I personally don’t need any of all the fancy , luxury items on my truck , like heated vibrating seats ! Never have been one to care about any of that “ type “ of stuff - Useless to me …. Certain Options I got on my truck are more important - The things that make it go good !
I have a 2024 3500 Duramax LT i paid $73k. It has the same engine, frame, transmission, brakes, Z71, interior, HD cameras. The GMC cost $104 and mine cost $73k. That is a $31k difference in price. The only big difference is the GMC suspension lift and tires. What kind of suspension lift do you think I can get for 31k?

With the price of these trucks now they should all have at least a 10 year 200k mile warranty.
But they would rather you but a new expensive truck every 5 years and 60k miles 🤣
Lifetime warranty 500,000 miles
10 year 200k mile warranty justifies $100k price tags in my opinion.
In the world of luxury vehicles, these trucks are extremely cheap for what they are...

I bought a 2020 3500 High Country a few weeks ago
Towed 27,000 lbs with it today up some pretty steep roads. I was really impressed. I can’t believe how capable these new trucks are.
Is it a dually or a single rear wheel
No you didn't. You actually 'towed' 17000lbs. Your GCVW weight have been 27k, but you sure as hell didn't tow 27k.
I actually towed 27,000 lbs. 17,000 lb backhoe and a 10,000 lb gooseneck trailer.
It’s a single rear wheel.
If I could insert a picture into you tube I would. Then would you believe me?

Thanks TFL for the IKE Gauntlet show case - great job as always.
You probably can't afford it 😲🤣
@@atg1338 Seriously? "You"? that is a sorry ass no value comment.
@@kelviskelvis7140 Great reasoning. So if you're a buyer who actually wants to take it offroad you should have to pay a 20k markup.
@@Pantelifts10 Or wealthy people will buy them and never take them off road.
Wish y’all could figure out a way to put in a couple more commercials
some day GM needs to do a panoramic roof like everyone else.
Couldn't care less. I ordered my ZR2 without a sunroof cause they're useless as tits on a boar pig!
Definitely needs a panoramic roof in 2024 and beyond.
You can get a standard LTZ or a ATX truck and to upgrades to make it a safe and reliable off road on road truck for a lot cheaper then $100,000.00 plus truck.
Did you do a super duty tremor in the Ike?
Damn this truck is awesome, looks beautiful too
always nice to see another Ike gauntlet test... I am wondering when you are hopping to be able to test the tesla "cyber truck" and to get compairasons on usefulness vs a normal truck and I want to see it on the Ike fully loaded and i would love to see normal duty loaded to compare but that's just me
You should try Cabbage Hill just outside Pendleton OR.
Why don’t they make a real break that runs in the cylinders and not in the exhaust something that you know when you’re going down the hill and it’s locked in it’ll maintain the speed that you said it at you. Don’t have to worry about it. The downshifting to try to control the speed. It will just stay where it is.
The hitch is nice, but I love my BulletProof Hitch
I would load it backwards so more weight is on the tongue, the reason there is only 1 inch of squat is probably cause there’s barely any tongue weight
H to the N on that price. 👎Glad I got mine 2 years ago for $30k less.
Still a rip off at $70k two years ago. But a steal compared to this madness
@DonZenOfficial you're probably right, but I have no regrets thus far. Just hoping it doesn't give me a bunch of diesel problems. We'll see
Need to make that 10 speed skip shift like the ford when not towing.
Finally found out who he sounds like…..Tommy Lee Jones
I love these Ike challenges
$105k truck. That's crazy. cool though.
Who what of knew in 2024! having buttons is so kool and premium 😂
Jesus is coming sooner then we think by looking at world events. here is the salvation prayer for those who are not saved, pray this with your kids so u know that they are saved and everyone you know. Jesus is coming quickly
Dear Jesus
Come into my heart, forgive me of my sins, wash me, cleanse me, set me free Jesus, right now I receive you as my lord and savior.
I believe you are the son of God and you were raised from the dead, thank you for saving me and forgiving me, I am born again. I am forgiven and I am on my way to heaven because I have Jesus in my heart.
Amen
Best 2500 on market
Lol. Weak front suspension.
@@98durangopackcan put a plow on the gmc at4x can’t do that on a ford tremor.
how to start a comment war with truck brand simps lol
2700 lbs of payload for an HD? Not nearly enough for an HD vehicle.
@@98durangopack lmao in the fords and rams are worse
do the shocks make towing and ride more comfortable?
Yes
I thought the downhill you dont usually run cruise control 🤔
Yeah I just got to that part. Maybe it’s because the exhaust brake is incorporated into cruise control?
@@ALMX5DPcorrect, these new trucks are actually designed to work that way. I know it seems kind of strange but thats new tech.
He doesn't. I thought that was kind of cheating for this test. Either use cruise control for all of the trucks or don't use it.
Can you disable adaptive cruise control?
Can you pull a fifth wheel trailer with one of these? It would be nice to have an of road truck that would pull a fifth wheel as well.
Good video guys
Did some research myself, how is a RAM Power Wagon a better proven performer than this despite the huge power difference?
The gasser 2500hd in the the zr2 starts at 72k
Brake controller location due to the fact that the denali dash is slightly different than high country
Dumb decision. It should be on the center stack out of the way.
For what you’re getting with that truck and comparing it with the highest trim level from ford and Ram I think it’s a reasonable price all the way period.
Looking forward to this !
Thank the Lord the 6.6 Gasser doesn’t have AFM.
Best looking truck on the market… GM has stepped it up in the last few years.
I personally don’t need any of all the fancy , luxury items on my truck , like heated vibrating seats !
Never have been one to care about any of that “ type “ of stuff - Useless to me …. Certain
Options I got on my truck are more important - The things that make it go good !
Que belleza de Camioneta 😍
I have a 2021 silverado 3500hd ltz it tows so good it's lifted 3 inches & has 37x1350R20 tires & I tow all the time fith wheel & receiver hitch. ❤
You’ve never towed a fifth wheel in your life who are you kidding LOL. Clown
Impressive
I have a 2024 3500 Duramax LT i paid $73k. It has the same engine, frame, transmission, brakes, Z71, interior, HD cameras. The GMC cost $104 and mine cost $73k. That is a $31k difference in price. The only big difference is the GMC suspension lift and tires. What kind of suspension lift do you think I can get for 31k?
Chevy junk
@@DonZenOfficialaside from the AEV stuff, lift and tires it’s essentially the same exact truck ol DonZen
Isn’t any more capable than the at4. Nothing was doing the the 4wheel system except shocks
