They’re loved by farmers, construction workers, and your average city folk who enjoys pullin’ stuff in their free time. There’s no question that the Silverado belongs among the best, so join James as he explores the truck’s hard working journey to get there.

You like trucks? Oh hell yeah you do! If we gave you a Silverado RIGHT NOW what would you do to it, and where would you go?
The funniest answer gets a heart from Pumphrey. Make us laugh! 😎
Trade it in for an F-150 😆😆😆
Get it towed...because it broke down for the 8th time.

I'd sit in it, go to the Chevy dealership and ask what dinosaur-named trucks do they offer.
Trade it in for a Tundra. Lol.

We owned a towing business in the 80s and 90s and we ran 3 77 and 78 Chev trucks. We offered full offroad salvage and not once did we worry about them trucks letting us down.
Bringing me back to my high school days. My first vehicle I owned was an ‘01 Silverado Z71, absolutely loved it. And it’s still running just as good when it was pulled off the lot

The Trail Boss is an OK package, but for off road trekking in a factory Silverado the ZR2 is what you want. It’s plenty capable, looks good (opinion), and has very civil highway manners offering a better ride than most of the other packages geared towards rough terrain.
Every Silverado owner: yee yee.
good ol' pumphrey can literally imitate any accent if it's at the start of an up to speed episode
His nazi/german accent fucking kills me, I think the episode I remember the most is the Beetle one
I mean, he is from Kentucky. It's not hard to slip back into that accent. Like a comfy pair of jeans
i demand that someone make a compilation of the accents that he's done
Ford F150: done
Chevrolet Silverado: done
(Dodge) Ram 1500/HD: not done so Up to speed on the Ram pick up

He did Cummins so that one may be put off a lil

BOWTIE BRIDGADIER 4 EVA!!! Thanks Donut for making a video on my favorite automobile of all time.
I’m a simple man, I see James narrating a video, I watch it.
The people that edit Donut videos and James Pumphrey deserve enormous bonuses. Donut videos have become my favorite comedy show, and I couldn't care less about pickups. There are so many gags on a moment to moment basis in every video! Long live Donut, I even bought the merch!
0:57 you couldn’t tell he was reading a prompt
When I see a new video of up to speed pop up I stop everything and watch it.....
And I got my kids into up to speed now they’re going around the house saying
“More powah baby “
that moment when the first 30 seconds describes your town and buddies you hang with😂😂😂
I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope life improves for you.
I can relate. Not exactly a bad thing though.
You have a Silverado ? 🤣
Chevrolet has such a great legacy. I hope General Motors gets their Quality Control fixed so they continue to maintain a prominent percentage of the market share.
I had a 96’ Silverado 1500 4x4. First year of the Vortec engine. It was a beast.
The 3500hd could tow
17,000lbs in other words YO MAMA
Lunger2 hey bud, i think it might be able to do a little bit more if it doesn’t count for a goose neck trailer🥴
The third gen C/K was probably the best built Chevy truck before they started cheaping out on the build quality and interior. You still see a lot of them. Also they stopped using “Like a Rock” when GM closed the plant in Bob Seger’s hometown and Bob said no more.
My 00 was a tough dude I would not buy one newer then 07 or 08 then they fell on there face with that active fuel management they started killing cams with that u can have it bypassed tho
@@jjlawnservice5229 it's so funny. They made active fuel management to help engines, but it's these engines biggest problem. Irony hurts sometimes
My first vehicle was a 2009 Silverado. I love my truck.
Bought my first truck 97 c1500 a few weeks ago absolutely loving it
These things are fukin hilarious. I dont even watch for the infotmation anymore, just the endless laughs.
Hundred and 12 percent agree. They get better and better every friggin time. Pure fire, some quality detail, but mainly ridiculous jokes.
think of how much money Chevy would make if they brought back the square body.
Some dealerships kinda did, Google "new Chevy big 10". I want one to go with my 82 lol
Dominic O'Conner square bodies are the best looking era of Chevy trucks.
Yes they are good looking, yes they are extremely sought after currently, but all of that would go away if they re released them. To compete with current trucks, they would need so many electronic upgrades it wouldn’t even feel like an old c/k truck.
I love my 78. Not a Silverado, but C series.
maybe they could make squarebody kit trucks, buy the kit and put together your self!
I have a beat up 08 4.8 I use for the dump and plowing my driveway. It lacks a bit of power but it seems to just keep going. I’m happy with it.
I absolutely love the way he did this episode
You guys have to do a episode about Dale Earnhardt

H-how did they make a video about the Silverado without even mentioning the 5.3 Vortec???
I was wondering the same thing. The 5.3 vortec is perfect in almost every imaginable way and was honestly the thing that made Chevy blow Ford out of the water in the 2000s
@Taylor Lemoine True. I have a 1999 Tahoe with the 5.7. It is such a reliable engine compared to the pos 5.4 triton that liked to throw spark plugs (lol).
He didn’t even say cuhh
Didn’t mention the 8100 vortec
Taylor Lemoine ayyye gotta 92 K1500 LS1 swapped. Original motor had 750k on it
Great video, love watching them, but wish there would have been more on the 90’s trucks.
Our Ford is in the shop, and we’re using a 2020 Chevy Silverado. It is great!!! Y’all should get one.
No love for the best gen silverados? Through 1988-98, Chevy made some kickass trucks!
I miss my 96 Silverado, but I don't miss the transmissions blowing up and the electricals failing. Other than those two things there great. I think 1999-2003 are the best Silverados, but that's just my opinion.
@@gregmarcus1026 I think that the 4L60/80E transmissions were pretty good if taken care of but they are geared pretty low. Lucky for me i drive a 94 so i have the easy to work on tbi. 96 was the first year for vortec so it has some issues that might've been worked out in later years
They did a up to speed on it already
Ive got a 99 sierra and its a great truck. By far the easiest truck to see out of
Weren’t those still called C/Ks?

My 2005 Silverado, 5th (and last) I'd owned, had the instrument cluster die at 60k, the brake lines rot at 110k, and a tranny rebuild at 130k. I've never owned a truck that had more issues.
the ultimate uptospeed intro, ev-er !
As a fish racer, I can confirm that silverados are neat.
Didnt you get thrown off from your fish on the second to last corner back in sydney semifinals of the -12 championship
Fish racing is real 😲 woah that's next level
@@local_hotpotato the -12 championship was rigged from the beginning. My muskie was down two cylinders after a fresh rebuild. Two laps in I got pinched between the two home depot trout and almost hit the guard rail at a buck twenty. Somebody didnt want me in that race. And I would have won if it wasn't for what happened in the that second to last corner. I'm not gonna name names but I think we all know whos got my number
Um. What is fish racing? Dare I ask? What has it to do with pickup trucks?
@@WaltANelsonPHD it's a joke they made in the beginning of the vid these guys are carrying it on
How did you forget the 1992 ss 454 Silverado smh
I think that was before they were called Silverados
terminater 301 it was basically nothing but a engine swap
terminater 301, the NOSE-HEAVY (7.4L) 454SS was a C1500 regular cab SWB before they changed the name. The engine was the same as in the C / K 3500 (the only way you could buy the engine besides the 3500), not a "race special" like the latter SVT Lightning F-150...
MotorWeek's YT account downloaded recently their 454SS (in glorious black, of course...)"Retro Review" from way back then, check that out...
It's part of the C/K series when Silverado was just the name of the truck, like Cheyenne was for the other ones.
@@syxepop I just watched the MotorWeek video the other day! I must say while the performance is rather poor, it's one of the sexiest trucks to me.
My first vehicle is a 2000 z71 Silverado and I love that truck so much tbh she’s still running like new rn
I have a 2019 custom trail boss and i love every bit of it
Make an up to speed on Alpina. Just like RUF they are classified as a car manufacturer, not a tuner. Their older models were oldschool engine tuned while the looks were so classy😏
It really is sad that the Silverado SS got discontinued. If the Street performance pickup trend had stayed alive, I can only imagine how insane of numbers a Silverado SS, F-150 Lightning, or Ram SRT-10 could achieve in terms of horsepower, torque and top speed.
Fact
Yep ive got a 71 c10 and i love it!

jose flores eh, Ford is the number one purchased truck in America, so it’s likely. Everyone in my high school had an F-150. I got me a Silverado powered by tornados!

In Conroe, I see about an equal amount of Fords and Chevys.
I love how the donut timeline is all based around post Malone's birth, really brings me into the history like I'm actually there!!

My grandfather always used to have the biggest pickup you could get from C/K 3500s to the 2010s era silverados, eventually as he got older he downsized and the last vehicle he ever bought was a 2016 Silverado 1500 NorthWoods edition.
