Mike, the bed camera is very handy when you are hooking up your new gooseneck trailer!!!
Yup exactly. Wish I had that one.
Hi , I've been watching your channel for years. I seldom make a comment But after pulling Is goose neck trailers for over 20 years I would never go back to a bumper pull. They are easier to back up and easier to get into tighter spots, loaded right they will give you a much better ride over any bumper pull. I pull a 26ft gooseneck daily, thats just my opinion. When you go to look at a trailer you might want to hook into a gooseneck and take it for a ride before you buy, it might change your mine. Keep up the good work. Watch your Channel all the time. Thanks Dan
That truck is a great color. And it's amazing how quiet today's diesel engines run.
PS - let me know when you're ready to sell that deckover!
It’s all the emissions crap on them as to why they’re quieter. Which being quieter is not a good thing being it’s very restricted. Which is chocks down the exhaust flow and reduces the horsepower a lot.
@@kevink4914you do know modern diesels have twice the power of pre emission diesels right??
@@powerstrokepuller8076 Even just the new 3.0 LZ0 from GM has more HP and torque then the 12v Cummins that is 2x that is what 5.9 liter. I guess that is an engine from the 90s but its still one everybody wants.
@@JesseLJohnson yep. LOVE my 3.0 Duramax 👍
Where that Duramax will shine is pulling in the hills of West Va. Your gonna love it👍🏻
Really enjoy seeing how things have come together over the years for your channel and family. You are all wonderful examples of hard work paying off. Great channel, great family. You all should be very proud of your accomplishments!
The camera that looks in the bed of the truck Mike you said don’t know why it’s needed, is it all the time hooking up 5th wheel and my gooseneck trailer so if you get a gooseneck believe me you will use it.
THAT ENGINE AND THAT Transmission are both WICKID heavy.... thats what makes GMCs so GREAT
The bed camera is a great addition to the towing package because it allows you to hook up goosenecks much easier. Chevy, Dodge and Ford have all added them to their HD Towing packages.
Sometime you will want to setup all the trailer profiles in the truck. It will remember your trailer brake gain settings, and works with the camera system to show how much room you need to change lanes (and probably a bunch more stuff). Very useful tech.
Yes, along with keeping track of mileage on each trailer for bearing maintenance. 👍
Exactly correct. We have 6 or 7 trailers we use and it's excellent for trailer maintenance
GOOOOOD
MAAAAAAAAWNIN EVERYONE!!!!… back home in Virginia Beach after an adventurous vacation in New England….SAAAAWEEEEEEET truck Mike. You earned it.!! Thanks for the review.
Have a Day
HELLOOOO Hunter 😊
🍩🍩🍩
Sounds fun
Welcome home Senior Chief
Morning all, Mike that is one good looking truck, it will give you years of enjoyment..... Pete from 🇨🇦
Pete!
@@oldmanfred8676 morning Fred, cloudy here and some badly needed rain on the way.... how is Gina? Pete
@@peteatthefarm4459,
Morning,
We have been having some rain here and extremely hot weather.
Boat is down due to the Hydraulic system to raise and lower the motor so no fishing.
Gina is better but not completely well from Pneumonia.
Had a Hailstorm here last week, in Sanger about 15 miles away they had a picture of a 5 1/2 inch Hailstone!
At home in Michigan a Hailstorm hit the area with over 2 inch hail. Everyone in a swath has 100% roof damage. Very unusual for Michigan!
Joel, (my Son) had his car and truck pelted. His wife was at work so her car was spared.
@@oldmanfred8676 WOW thats not good, saw many places getting hit with hail, nothing that bad around here, just those damn fires....
Hopefully everything gets back to normal soon....
I'm like you Rock Daddy. I like the bed,Trailer Hitch and the side views on the cameras.
Man would I love to have a truck like that. Congratulations it should serve you well.
I have a 2020 2,500 with a BDS lift, air bags, remote control bed cover and it weighs 7,800 pounds. I’ve put 3,700lbs of dirt in the bed, pulled concrete trailers, in closed trailers through the mountains with no issues.
Ten tons is a lot of weight to stop in an emergency situation!! Mike you made a good choice in trucks!!
Great over view of the new truck Mike. Looking forward to seeing more of it in future videos. Have a a great weekend Morgan's
I've been a GM guy for a long time. I've had a Suburban, then a Tahoe. When my son sold his pickup truck I traded the Tahoe for my current vehicle - a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. One of the things I like about the GM trucks is you can get the Integrated Trailer Brake Controller. It's nice to have the status display in the dash. Overall, they're decent vehicles. I've been very happy with them, and I'm sure you will be too, Mike.
Chevy is the only truck that I drive and want to drive
Mike that truck 🛻 is going to be a big deal breaker for your hauling equipment and congratulations to Eva you and Melissa have raised the kids with level heads and you don’t see to much of that these days ❤😊👍✅
One feature I love on my Chevy is the ‘trailer light test’ mode, you plug in a trailer, press the button and it cycles through the lights. Let’s you see they are all working and no bulbs are out. I’m not a fan of all the tech on the new trucks but I like that feature.
The simple version of this is just turning your hazards and taillights on at the same time. That’ll test it all the same.
The truck is flat out awesome!
Thanks for taking us with you.
I gave a thumbs up and leaving a comment for how well you tailgate dragged. Impressive Good job. 🎉
Nothing better than a rainy Saturday with the Morgan's. Absolutely love the truck Mike.
Great video, I just ordered my 2024 gmc 2500 and it should pull 18,000 pounds .
I borrowed my brother in laws dump trailer to haul some , whatta know, stone. It's the first time I used one and it was a game changer, saved me a ton of work
Dump trailers save a ton of work for sure. Hauled a couple loads of fill dirt last year...that shoveling out of a pickup bed trailer isn't any fun at all. When I picked up the 6 tons of sand/gravel mix a few weeks ago I went down and rented a dump trailer for $50 for 2 hours....made the job quick, easily, and non-back breaking LOL.
I thought about buying a dump trailer but they're ridiculously over-priced for no better than they are built, and for no better than the hydraulic lift systems are. Its better to just rent one for the occasional usage I have for one.
I had thought about buying a dump trailer and renting it out but people don't take care of anything especially if it isn't their equipment, and the liability of people borrowing it would totally out weigh what I could charge for it.
Your dumping / spreading stone technique improving every pour.
I am glad you you learned how to tailgate.. hang in there us pros do that every day. God bless you and yours.
Looks like the GMC has found a good home so happy you got it Mike have a wonderful day
Thanks Mike. Great Info. Keep the good info coming to the masses!!
Love my 22 high country duramax same everything technology wise. Pulls like an absolute dream. Pair your exhaust brake and tow haul mode with cruise control when coming down hills everything works in unison barely have to use the brakes.
Thanks for showing more of the truck features. Nice rig. beautiful stone tail gate operation. I am still trying to get the hang of it with my Big Tex dump trailer.
Looks like the GMC has found a good home. Mama likes it and Papa says it will haul what he wants it too so all's well in Morganville. Great video Mike, glad it's going to work out for you all. I really like the camera set up too. Stay safe and keep up the fun around there. OLD DAWG DREAMING Fred.
Congrats Mike, on ur new GMC 3500 Duramax AT4 Truck. I know that u will like-it.
I also got a 2011 Chevy Silverado Z71 4x4 5.3l Truck. It has 164,000 miles on her, hope many more to go. I like-it alot..
Sharp looking truck!
You can really see the deepens of the green paint!! Beautiful color. I had a 1500 Blazer years ago that was very similar in color!! Nice Color Mike!!
My wife's 14 GMC Acadia Denali has the heads up. I love it. Like your mirror. You got a nice truck
All those features and probably a heater, too! The GMC sure is an effective piece of equipment. This is a very good compliment to the fleet of equipment across different manufacturers. Mike, a very good choice, professional grade.
Love that color!
The bed camera view will be nice when hooking up a gooseneck trailer if you get one. Very nice truck!
OK...OK...thumbs up because of the 1970 FORD Highboy!! Are you kidding me??!! That is a beautiful classic. Definitely lots have changed in 53 yrs!! Merci
Diesel in Texas today, the cheapest I could find was $3.05 with a credit card
Looking good Mr. Mike. That’s just what you needed
That is the best spread job I ever seen, I used to build highways for a living so I seen a lot of drivers spread rock, good job.
With you Mike on the camera set up. The turn set up showing what is, is great. Safe. Not a bad haul for first outing with her, GMC Sweet.
A sharp truck Mike. To me its satisfying to get a trailer loader correctly balanced on the axles and tongue weight so all you feel is the weight and not added sway or bounce.
MIKE, lots of good information on this one!
Looks like you got over the 'sick feeling' on the purchase. Good stuff.
Thank you for the video
Nice tailgating, saves a ton of tractor work.
Mike that truck has some really great features 🎉
Very very nice truck. I wouldn't be afraid to drive it. Thanks for sharing the information
Trucks real nice when everything works.Then the problems begin.good luck!
Hey Mike,got to say it again...Awesome Truck,,great choice 👍 👌 Have a Day Morgans..keep on shining 🌞☀️🌞☀️
Hey Mike White chevy guy here, Your truck is one impressive rig. What's more impressive is your technical skills to navigate through all the options/features this truck offers. I am technically challenged when it comes to all this type of advancement in vehicles. It's definitely moving at a pace that has passed my skill level. The Highboy is definitely my favorite of all your vehicles. MM
The camera in the bed is convenient for hooking up a fifth wheel or gooseneck. I have appreciated that for hooking up my camper solo.
I got in a habit along time ago and asked my helpers to do it too. Before I raise my jack I always hook my trailer down before I raise the jack
Hello from Boston Mike, I have had both Ford and GMC I don't think you will be unhappy with the GMC at all. You see the longer you have it the more you will like it.😊
So far I really like it
I have to say the camera clarity and all the angles are amazing
One big difference between the 2 trucks is that YOU can still work on the Highboy. No way you even try on the GMC😢😢
Got to admit that I love watching you spend money. You're buying things I only dream about and I'm happy you can. I'm sure other viewers are envious as well.
Please wish Eva a happy graduation party. I know I loved her 1st video she made. She's a natural.
I can see what you bought the extended warranty on this truck. Anything goes wrong anywhere and you'll be staring at $1,000 bill in a heartbeat. All of the cameras and optional items are really neat, as long as they work. Katey bar the door when they don't. Sure hope that doesn't happen. I've driven Chevy ALL my life and I'm 67. Other than basic maintenance I've had 1 fuel injector replaced. That was on a 2 yo 2017 1500 5.3. Good luck with the new truck. Sure is nice😊😊 Ron
Oh you will love that bed view camera if you hook to a gooseneck. It makes it so much easier
Good-looking truck I think you'll be happy with
Mike looking forward to seeing more video's and your report on this new truck. I have been a Ford and Dodge Truck guy for the last 40 years. I started out as a GM truck guy but had such bad luck with them back in the 1970's I swore off of them. I have had the Cummins Dodge for a decade in the 90's with no problems at all but just wanted to drive something else, so it's been Ford trucks for the last 2 decades. I have really liked the way the GMC and new Chevy trucks look for a long time but just can't help remembering the bad luck back many decades ago with the GMs. So I am looking forward to you putting this truck thru the ringer. Again another GREAT video my friend
I have a Silverado 2500HD diesel truck as well and I love the exhaust brakes!!! Excellent! :) Love my diesel Should have bought one 30 years ago. Enjoy!!
The old truck has a good sound.....I miss that sound from back in the day.
The bed view on your truck is great when you hook up a goose neck so you can see the ball when backing up to the trailer
Thanks!
Love the truck Mike I had a 2020 model I averaged 22 to 23 mpg and around 16 mpg when it went into regen
Good luck with you Jimmy Truck Mike. That’s what my dad used to call all GMC trucks when I was growing up, to distinguish them from a Chevy Truck. I grew up calling them the same as my dad.
Yesterday I got try pulling will my durmax and I was amazed at how it handled it.
Thanks Mike! A favorable report is always a delight to hear, whether it about tractors, kids, sawmills or vehicles. There is so much good in life to enjoy without grousing.
You're so right, Duane !! There are enough "moaning minis" out there !! It's refreshing to get a positive report from Mike !! Trucks have come a long way since the days of "ol' Blue" which I like, too !!
I love those Moritz trailers, have always been good to me. Beautiful truck.
Your going to enjoy your new truck!
This was fun. First pull. Boy, that truck sure is loaded. Lots of cameras. The ones that seem to be above the truck is a mystery to me. The color is beautiful. I'm a Chevy guy, my last pickup was an F150 though. My favorite truck over all was my 73 Cheyenne Super 10. It had a 350, blue, white roll bar w KC lights on it. It also had a quarter inch, chrome rear bumper that was indestructible! I had so much fun in that truck. It will be fun to see it on its maiden voyage to West Virginia, too. You really are good at tailgating stone. I can see where a remote would be very nice working the trailer. Nice video, Mike, thanks.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
And, the trailering has light testing so you can check your lights without assistance. I love my Denali 3500. Diesel. Never going back to gas. We haul a Tractor and 5th wheel at 16 thousand pounds, and it keeps on pulling. You'll love the trip to WV in it. Todd in NH.
Pick ups
have made leaps and bounds over the years tech wise.
My dad has both a pull-behind and a gooseneck for his 2500 high country and I can tell you that the gooseneck pulls a lot better. You can feel it's back there but with the weight over the rear axle of the truck it seems to feel much steadier and under control when loaded than the bumper-pull.
And you have that great ability to jackknife when it helps narrow the turn radius.
Definitely agree here. When you get the longer bed over trailer go to goose neck. Without a doubt!
I totally agree with them. You wont regret going to a gooseneck trailer
A gooseneck is a great way to go if you are towing really often and towing heavy loads...better weight positioning over the truck's rear axle VS behind it.
Luckily the truck I just picked up a couple months ago has the provisions for a 5th wheel and gooseneck hitch already in it....just need to pickup a hitch, might get both so I can pull either one. It has the above bed rails, which some people don't like because you have to clean them out, but not that big of a deal with an air compressor and blow gun. When I picked the truck up it had an old tonneau cover on it that was falling apart, and the bed was full of leaves, hay, etc. so I had no idea the truck had the 5th wheel prep package until I cleaned it up a few days later. I just have a 3/4 ton pickup, which will be more than enough for anything I'd ever care to pull. Mostly pulling a 7x18 car trailer with my sub-compact tractor and some implements a few times a year....so nothing extremely heavy, but more than a 1/2 ton truck would be comfortable doing.
If hauling every day, goosekneck/fifth wheel is the way to go. Mike will want to get a three point goosekneck hitch attachment for the big tractor so he can move the trailer arond the yard.
Mike , a word of advice. Change fluids Frequently. Change filters. Use the best fluids .
DO NOT follow the dealer/manufacturer's ridiculously long fluid change intervals, and the transmission fluid is NOT lifetime fluid, it needs changed every 50-60k at a minimum...people skip all this stuff or listen to their dealer/manufacturer for when to change the fluids and then wonder why they have mechanical problems. Don't go beyond a 5k engine oil/filter change either...diesel or not, keep the oil changed, its a heck of a lot cheaper than an engine.
You cranked up that high boy after you choked it brought back some memories I could almost smell the fuel from the carb that young people won't understand.
You are gana love this truck Mike. My father has the 2022 Highcountry 3500. It's an awesome truck
Nice truck. I’m a Ford guy also but would consider a GMC. Love the hitch camera, saves a bunch of time getting positioned.
Like you, I've always been pleased with Ford trucks. That said, I've also liked every Chevy or GMC that I've ever driven. Say hey to Hunter and the rest of the clan.
True Cleveland fan sticker in the oldie but goody.
The bed camera rocks for hitching a gooseneck!
Mike, I drive a 22 Silverado with the Duramax and Alison setup. Nice vehicle to drive. It is so smooth and you can hardly notice the shifts.
wow! awesome truck! like the TV cameras!.... cool mirrors! ....awesomr trucks now a days!
Good Morning Morgan family
I have a 2018 High county and I thought it was pretty fancy but yours has a lot more cameras . My dump trailer is 16 foot and I usually haul 6 ton of rock. It has more space so maybe doesn't have as much tounge weight because it can be loaded more towards the back .
Good morning Mike Melissa and family! Have a day. I’m sure you’ve seen them, but the weigh safe hitches seem to be popular amongst the TH-cam channels.
Hey Mike I have a 2011 dually 3500 HD Chevrolet I have a duramax diesel in it and you need to leave your engine brake on all the time I had a diesel mechanic tell me that it would help you turbo and also it will save your brakes I got 234,000 miles on my truck I do love my diesel I get 18 miles per gallon pulling and I get 21 running around town and I do love your truck you will enjoy it Mike and you are doing a good job on your TH-cam channels I love watching you doing different things that I hope your father-in-law is doing good we all praying for him and y'all God bless your family 🙏❤️
I have been pulling equipment for close to sixty years and I load my trailer until the bumper drops about two inches. It gives wight on your rear tires but keeps good control on the front tires. I found that my gooseneck was easier to pull but does not track as good as a bumper trailer when making sharp turns especially on drive ways. Keep safe and have fun
Mike, the "Heads-Up" windshield display is a great safety feature. If I did the math correctly, a vehicle traveling 65 mph travels approximately 95.3 feet per second, or 286 feet in 3 seconds. A 3-second glance at radio, etc you travel almost the length of a football field. At 70 mph, "interstate" speed, 308 feet in 3 seconds.
Cool, until you need to replace that windshield, then you'll quickly hate yourself for thinking you needed that HUD.
Nice toy congratulations🎉
As you will learn with it the trailer settings will be the Greatest thing ever for you. It will Remer all the gains for each one loaded and unloaded saves you a lot in brakes and time.
Love the bells & whistles on your new truck!
All cute until it all goes haywire, and it will definitely do so at some point.
Phenomenal job tailgating that stone onto the driveway sir
I have the 1/2 ton Sierra with the 3.0L Duramax, nothing as capable as that beauty you have, but I am really enjoying it. Enjoy your content.
Nice truck! I hope all the tech is reliable for you over time
Hey Mike that is an awesome truck. All those great features. That truck will last you a long time. Cool video 👍❤️
Love that new GMC and think you will also. I have a 2020 Chevrolet half ton with the new 3.0 duramax, and I love it. It's great power and fuel ⛽️ mileage good day to the Morgans ❤.
I have the same truck....sulastic leaf spring shackles and airbags make all the difference.
Been towing a 24ft enclosed 8ft wide car trailer for years with the 2016 Silverado Z71 2500 HD Diesel 6.6 and has 20 tires and it pulls so much better than the 2500 HD gas engine. Yes you know the trailer is there but not like the gas model. Also the exhaust brake works so well along with the electric brakes. Also the trailer hitch ball top is to be set at 18 inches on my trailer
I love that color ❤
