How to get your lot plowed for free... Step 1 bring a plow truck to a media event. Step 2 tell the journalists they can test it out Step 3 have a drink and watch the lot get cleared.
Yes the switch bank is really cool until you get your new truck and find GM installs the switch bank in the dash and they give you the harness for it in a bag on the floor. Customer participation wiring the switch bank! The last thing I expected to do on my new truck was to have to tear the IP apart to wire the switches and they don't supply instructions for the harness installation.
P.T.O aka Power Take- Off.. The short version is, It's a device that transfers engine power to a piece of equipment that doesn't have it's own power source.. It really just looks like and kind of is a drive shaft type device. Now I'm no rocket surgeon by any means but once you see one up close it's easy to see/understand how it all works.. I personally think that it's pretty awesome and the tools you can get are just as cool.
Chevy, no contractor wants to set the parking break every time they dump. Did you guys actually talk to people in the field or did you design that by committee?
Now if they could have the PTO run a high flow pump and some quick connections in the front to run a snowblower attachment in the front of the truck instead of slamming your new truck into snow banks all winter
Steve,..here's an idea for you,...why not do a full video on exactly how and why the industry has changed over to electronically activated parking brake. This is an item that a lot of reviewers are incorrectly calling an E-BRAKE,..this is NOT an emergency brake, simply because you can't ( should never ) activate it while in motion. I for one, would wish they'd go back to the manually activated parking brake.
this guy is the best!!! other TFL staff are idiots. he takes his time and articulates, raymond rushes and.screams.at the camera. Andre always.needs to correct him.
So...can you use it while driving? If not that's pretty limiting, especially for a dump bed. Wondering since you had to set the parking brake to use it.
Imagine a generator (which is an electric motor in reverse) on the PTO. Turn off truck engine, put it in neutral. Power the electric motor via big ass Lipo4s. Would someone be able to make an electric vehicle via bolt on components?
Silly question...how does this work with 4 wheel drive? Doesnt 4 wheel drives not have a extra port for a trans pump? I had to use a engine pump for a 2003 ford F350 4x4..automatic..thanks..
Our 2019 with the six speed allison has the ability to do a pto as well. And for that matter my 2006 with the six speed allison also has that ability. Not a real cutting edge option. It is a good option though.
Wow. So an ambulance on this platform can have a power generator... That will give more power to run essentials and even a small health facility is n remote areas.....
PTO=Paid Time Off. Which is what TFL is all about. lol To be paid to leave the home and have fun taking trips and playing with a variety of machines in front of the camera for viewing entertainment and information.
Me as well. I have a 16 with pto installed. Its a ltz. Buying another truck but probably a Ford. You can get the option in all trim unlike GM, has to be chassis cab or diesel.
If y'all think that's cool you need to check out a real PTO and move up into class 8. You should take a look at a split shaft PTO concrete pump truck. Imagine something so powerful it uses a transfer case to divert full driveshaft power to a PTO
Another good Video. :) Seeing how you had a Ford 150 with plow package on love my ride, it would be nice to see these ones stack up. The same with aux switches. What is amp behind each switch? it is shared or separate. 100 amp for all? where does it go on the other side of the firewall? aka how easy is it to set up a feature with aux switches? things like lights and winch comes to mind, but how about a salt spreader?
Guess you can't with this truck. Drove dump truck for 20 years. Tailgating material was one of my favorite things to do. When dumping a load the truck has a natural motion to push forward. Setting the parking brake to dump is stupid if your bed is full. Gotta drift forward. Guess you could release the parking brake and roll forward but the PTO will disengage. Ugh. Not ideal but I'm sure someone will figure out an override
Adam Kane Transport LLC yes! Sometimes you need to pull forward when dumping a load. But, they put a tractor pulling a plow when talking about PTO and plows don’t need it.
Great vid. I was wondering how that PTO worked.

Morning Dan
Good morning Dan...we still got lots a snow here
@@ronsmith7880 morning Ron, so are you gonna host a media event to clear it all?
Not a bad idea.
PTO is where you go to your kids' school and have bagels, and meet hot moms in yoga pants.
Hahaha I love it in other words its payed time off!!!
Now that's funny!
Jim wang, love it🍀
Power takeoff, my tractor , almost every tractor has one to run bush hog tiller spreader and such, on this truck I do not know🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀😊🍀
That dump valve makes me want a manual transmission in this Chevy
The switch bank is pretty cool too. Kinda like the ford outfitter switch setup

Couldn't the button and icon say PTO? Instead of another tiny silly icon to add to the 30 already on the dash?
like it is on most anything with a PTO on it.Come on GM .
Mine is written in or our instead of on and off , which is ridiculous
Chevy, no contractor wants to set the parking break every time they dump. Did you guys actually talk to people in the field or did you design that by committee?
John Smith Chevy’s lawyers probably demand that their employees say/do that, when demoing gear.
I thought that's what the different modes was for. He had said it was in stationary mode.
Its a safety for GM or people will sue GM if something happens ITS NOT AFTER MARKET
Now if they could have the PTO run a high flow pump and some quick connections in the front to run a snowblower attachment in the front of the truck instead of slamming your new truck into snow banks all winter
The 90’s dodge rams had this feature on their heavy duty transfer cases
You said 2 days ago you would post video on snow plow the next day. I’m really looking forward to seeing that video.
What about drop spreading / tailgating?

PTO is obviously a rock band
Thanks for the informative video. On my way to by a Silverado 6500 rollback, only used other brand trucks before and are excited about this one!
1:30 Talks about PTO's on tractors, shows a tractor pulling a plough *facepalm*
I guess that's why you don't have a TFL Tractor page hey? LOL
Yeah I saw that also.
this guy is the best!!! other TFL staff are idiots. he takes his time and articulates, raymond rushes and.screams.at the camera. Andre always.needs to correct him.
This would be the most useful truck to me. Full (thick) metal dump bed
Aluminum would be superior but much pricier.
@@bheron01 Aluminum wouldnt last
I'm just wondering can you drive with this PTO on in gear with the vehicle and use it to operate a snow plow hydraulic system
00:40 Russian IL-76TD older version with the Solovjov D30 gasturbines (made by aviadvigatel)
Y’all holding out on that Mr. Plow video.
So...can you use it while driving? If not that's pretty limiting, especially for a dump bed. Wondering since you had to set the parking brake to use it.
The engineer in the video said that there is a separate PTO driving mode as well.
@@TFLoffroad How do you change the mode? I bought a 2021 and can't find a way to dump gravel down someone's driveway?
I would also would like info on mobile mode for spreading materials, probably have to have dealer set it up for a price👎
U have video of putting the pump on
Imagine a generator (which is an electric motor in reverse) on the PTO. Turn off truck engine, put it in neutral. Power the electric motor via big ass Lipo4s. Would someone be able to make an electric vehicle via bolt on components?
When is the plow video coming?
A friend of mines dad had a crew cab Dodge that the gas company had owned and it had a PTO winch on the front. No park brake needed haha.
Personal Time Off
PTO. 👍😊
gameshareprime paid time off
I need two of these.
Silly question...how does this work with 4 wheel drive? Doesnt 4 wheel drives not have a extra port for a trans pump? I had to use a engine pump for a 2003 ford F350 4x4..automatic..thanks..
Real nice and rugged
does PTO affect the fuel economy displayed? ie fuel burned for PTO will display as inefficiency on the cluster
Our 2019 with the six speed allison has the ability to do a pto as well. And for that matter my 2006 with the six speed allison also has that ability. Not a real cutting edge option. It is a good option though.
They mentioned that genius.
amazing stuff
I was wondering how pto’s worked. We have a couple of crane trucks at work.
Just missing a 3 point hitch and a PTO link on the back, to use it as tractor.
Can it be used as higher idle or for a winch in a trailer?
Would there be any use for PTO for a travel trailer? Just curious if this might be useful to spec at all for that. Thank you in advance.
Wow. So an ambulance on this platform can have a power generator... That will give more power to run essentials and even a small health facility is n remote areas.....
So can you spread with it or is it just stationary?
I like it how they do offroading videos "which is cool" but if i ever get a truck im not gonna do offroading ima just drive it
PTO=Paid Time Off. Which is what TFL is all about. lol To be paid to leave the home and have fun taking trips and playing with a variety of machines in front of the camera for viewing entertainment and information.
This is a great option! Wish it was available in all trim levels tho...
Me as well. I have a 16 with pto installed. Its a ltz. Buying another truck but probably a Ford. You can get the option in all trim unlike GM, has to be chassis cab or diesel.
Surprised they showed something other than a ford
Right but do you notice when they have the big 3 together they give the Fords better camera angles and more camera time.
Not impressed. Ram has had these options for some time now. Also the higher idle when colder kicks on automatically below 30

Magnus Eriksson I mean the plow you use to work in the field used by tractors.
Maybe someone could develop a PTO-powered machine that can fabricate a front end for that truck that isn’t projectile-vomit-inducing ugly.
I K R them fords are hideous...
At least they come with factory installed snowplows....lol
Subscribed 👍
Once again Chevrolet is 20 years behind dodge and Ford...
If only my PTO was like that truck's PTO...oh wait, it doesn't exist.
i all ready new what a pto was
I already knew what a PTO was.
@@troyr57 Perhaps he skipped grammar class to learn about PTO's.
Nothing new. My 76 w200 powerwagon could have been optioned with a pto.
TFLTractor!
Chevy is about 10 years behind Ford.
All manufacturers have offered PTO on work beds forever idiot
Diesel Ram clearly is heavy equipment, not a truck!
If I need a snow plow I also don’t need to live there.
Nice!!
2:55 very discreet burp...
John deere👍
he said trans
That's going to be useless if you want spread the gravel
Its a safety feature from GM ,they cover ther asses because people will sue them if something happens
WARNING - will not work for dump trucks that you will want to start dumping a load then start spreading !!
Paid time off. Duh.
It’s also “Parent Teacher Organization”.
Engine oil pressure low why Chevy ⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔
How 40 PSI is low??
Don’t understand how that’s low
