Hey matt, the front on these 2 models look insane, a standout, overall seems pretty good, I think they missed an opportunity on adding the sensors & a dash cam and a 5 year warranty.
Canadian Silverado ZR2 owner here, noticing some minor differences between the Aus version. It’s wild that this doesn’t have a phone charger in the center console, it’s standard on all Silverado models here. Also, we don’t have a headrest in the center rear seat.
Hi Matt, the price is spot on for anyone looking at towing 3,500 kilograms when compared to a new Landcruiser. In fact it’s better than the Toyota just mentioned as you can still legally load it up with the higher GVM. However, the size and front end design means it has absolutely no place in a city environment. Can’t park it in shopping car parks without taking up two spaces and it won’t ever get a 5 star ANCAP rating as it’s not pedestrian friendly. Every time I see one in the city I feel sorry for the male driver as he obviously has a well below average sized apendage. 🍆
The difference between Toyota and GM is Toyota has acknowledged a quality control issue (thats very unusual for them to have) and are fixing it, GM on the other hand have a serious design issue with these engines that can cause catastrophic engine failure, But are doing nothing about it..........th-cam.com/users/shortsT5INdZynMzE?si=yUI8Hr8UZ8Aa7BjZ
There is also a class action law suit against GM about there V8 engines from the 5.3L to the 5.7L, 6.0, 6.2 and the turbo diesel 6.6 L and yes GMH is affected by that as it goes back to around 2012.
Nice. The perfect vehicle for the bogan road warriors who like to tailgate while speeding to the drive through bottle shop to pick up their 1 litre Jim Beam and a pack of Winnie blues. See you on Dashcam Australia soon. No thanks.
You mean like ... not ... in the US, where the majority of these are certainly not sold to farmers and tradies? I think it's safe to say that most farmers prefer diesel because that's what they use with their other vehicles. There's a reason why the Landcruiser 70 and all the "normal" utes are offered with diesel engines. I've never seen any of these trucks with the typical canopy used by tradies, either. Probably because any half-smart tradie realizes that the fuel bill is a "little" high.
For all you naysayers, 2 points. 1. What's the difference between driving one of these and driving a V8 300 series landcruiser, besides the fact the chevy is about 10 years ahead on comfort, features and tech? 2. Why not just enjoy your life and let others enjoy theirs. In other words keep your negative opinions to yourself. Each to their own. I for one love these, I'm not a bogan, I'm not a farmer. But I like big luxury cars that are very capable offroad. And nothing beats the sound of a V8.... nothing
The middle storage is a wireless charger, good research.
These are awesome trucks, safe and comfortable for families and towing, perfect for travelling long distances in Australia. ❤️🇦🇺👍
I'm just here to read about people whining about large vehicles.
So many whiners
I do like the LTZ, and if I could afford that, I would, just for it's towing ability. But this ZR2 looks great for the Aussie market.
We Americans love our pickups. Love mine, anyway. :D Met a woman who moved to the US and was absolutely shocked at how many people own trucks. :D
Finally, a capable, safe vehicle for Australia.

Great observation on the wireless charger 🤣

You also got the bigger Silverado 2500HD in Australia if you want more towing and you should do that review next.
How did you not see the wireless charger?
@14:10 had me in stitches 😂

Poorest argument ever
In your opinion what do you think is the better truck. The ZR2 or a F150 Lariat?
Matt broke his TH-cam swearing virginity in this video, well done Matt.
There is a 3.0 duramax diesel engine
Does the motor blow up because of the two cam lifters stop when in fuel saving mode in 10th gear
I can confirm that the engine DID NOT blow up when I drove it.
Instrument cluster screens look a bit cheap
It wouldn't fit in my garage 😅😅
The tundra in the USA are being called due to engine failure

@@351tgv I wasn't aware, Thanks for the info
Your steering wheel is on the wrong side ;)
Yank tank no thanks.. great video 👍👍👍
No one in America are buying these trucks anymore. So they send them here for the blue singlet brigade. It will all end in tears.
Of course they buy them, and they always will.
That's why chev, Ford, dodge and Toyota make them
LOL they’ve been the biggest sellers for decades 🤦♂️🙄
The US had record truck sales in 2023, don’t know what on earth you are talking about
Top selling cars in order for 2023...
1. Ford F series
2. Silverado
3. Ram pick up
🤔
Literally said it has no wireless charging when there’s a clear picture right where your hand was saying wireless charging Lol.
If that is a wireless phone charger at @5:42 it didn’t work.
to expensive & missing 2 years warranty
Reviewing an American truck.
Step 1: Mention how huge it is
Step 2: Repeat

It's made for farmers and tradies. Not everyone is an office worker.
Spot on.
