- ( www.TFLtruck.com ) The 2014 Chevy Silverado is a tough truck, at least that's what the Chevrolet commercial say. But is it tough enough to take on the Colorado Rocky Mountains? In another fun and informative TFLcar quick take review Nathan takes the newest Chevy Silverado the TFL test trail just outside of Boulder, Colorado. So how good is the new 2014 Chevy Silverado when the pavement turns rocky and rough. You'll have to watch this video to find out.

Who ever is stupid enough to confuse the switches, shouldn't even own a truck.
Amen to that!
Agreed.
Not to mention the fact that the computer won't allow it to shift into 4LO until the speed of the truck is safe to do so. And you rarely if ever even have to touch the headlight knob on this truck.
WHOEVER!!!!!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😪😪😪😪😪😪
One of the best model for Silverado, design, engine and comfort
so he says the running boards aint good for off road but instead of taking the damn things off he continues to smash them up
Nice review I have a 2wd Z71 Silverado and love it, atleast as far a highway, I think its the smoothest ride out there of full size pickups.
Do you mean 4WD, bud? Lol :P
xxThrillKillzxX no its 2wd, like the Z71 cause of the shocks but don't do any off roading so didn't really need the 4wd.
Interesting. I've never seen a 2WD Silverado with the Z71 where I'm from, or anywhere else actually.
xxThrillKillzxX i think they started it last year
I plan of getting one soon.. But it's lifted and has better tires so I shouldn't have to worry about this. It's so nice!
I own a 2014 Silverado and have never mixed the switches up. Please.
The front part of the bumper for aerodynamics is removable with four clip ons..... just like my tahoe, chevy knows what they are doing lol read the manual guys
even if its not removable id still smash it off.
Yes They could take 5 minutes to remove the valance.
More like 18 clips and bolts - takes a lot longer than five minutes to remove that thing!
+robvas no, he's correct, the 14 is a bunch of clips and two bolts, the 15's have something like 18 bolts and is much more of a pain in the ass

I had a 14 and a 15 and removed the air dam from both. Exact same thing. You're thinking of the 13's
No do not remove the steps, nerf bars or whatever, just lift it up a bit, would you rather have the rocks make contact with the body or with the steps? not a hard question to answer..
This is like my drive way. Come on
😪😪
The answer is power deploying running boards
i love this truck, but in my oppinion, i think that is too low for the heavy off roads , i think that they have to up a little bit more off the ground, and the silverado will be perfect :D
I live in the UK. And i want one!
Don't leave the Auto 4wd on. Inexperience at its finest here in this video, unless you don't like having a functioning transfer case.
What are the differences between a Lt, LTZ, LT/Z71? Looking to get a truck for off road but also a little bit of a work. I was a mix of both
You need to do a gauntlet test with the 2013 Chevy 3500 silverado like you did with the ram
I agree with Avalanche .Its why I'm lifting my 2014 Z71 6inches. This truck is bad ass. If you don't like it don't buy it.
if i were to need to go off roading with that truck regularly i would defiantly get a lift. never really had a problem with the 2010's height as of now though
I have the Denali, first thing I did is Removing the front spoiler and installed 2 inch lift kit because this truck is really close to the ground
my question is when are you going to review the 2013 Ram Power Wagon?
Well, I agree, what you're saying about the step sides and that little piece, I need to front bumper Sunday, I was walking a construction site doing security and whipped off one of my step sides. And the front bump hole laying plot. It took off the other steps I'd do. Lol
😪😪
I was hoping for something much more comprehensive than a comment about the approach angle and sidesteps. You were even in a perfect spot to showcase the locking rear diff but didn't. So...can I come work for you guys? But for serious.
yes it helps with MPG's but it also helps cool the engine down ill leave mine on
If I recall you can also simply unscrew the airdamn from the truck though.
Power Wagon package- 12,000 lb warn winch , 456 gears , locks front and rear, rock rails skid plates front to rear, sway bar disconnect , 32" of wheel travel. Oh yeah it's got HD shocks too.
If you want more off-road capabilities, don't get the extended or even worse the crew cab. That makes every change in terrain come even closer to the underside. You can call those tires anything you want but they are street tires. Put some real tires on it, take that front valance and running boards off and you have a decent off-road vehicle.
😪😪
Power Wagon all day. Raptors are good for going fast on dirt tracks and in mud, but they're not as good at getting through the really tough stuff and being a real truck when it matters.
The Chevy is better, especially given the tires, ride height, locking diff and suspension. The Denali did much better than I expected, but it was not a happy truck. The main thing holding back the Chevy was the low-hanging chin and side steps.
This would be a good ride height for the 2wd trucks
what happened to the usual 7:00 minute plus video? good video as always, but you didn't do enough off roading. the tundra video was good.
Trashing the running boards is better than trashing the rocker panels...
Darned if you do, darned if you don't.
the running boards is one less thing that you can worry about while offroading
Oh, right. getting high centered on sand would be a downer.
left hand canyon gets pretty darn crazy the higher he goes. he could have gone a little bit farther though.
Nice truck. What years did Chevy make this body style?
2014-2015 for this front end, 2016-2018 for refresh, 2019 for 1500 LD, 2015-2019 for HD, and 2019-present for Medium Duty
I could have done that trail with a front-wheel drive Lumina
Good video Ethan! good description about new chevy silverado!
Wonder how easily the plastic skirt can be removed.
Is the front differential open or limited slip?
U
It's a damn fine looking truck. There's no real difference in "functionality" on these modern trucks, they're ALL for show any ways.
Hopethe heavy duty is higher up
Sad to see a competent off road truck have its utility compromised. Someone ought to tell the manufacturers that chrome and air dams are for on road and should not be allowed to be added to an off road package.
Awesome 👍 👍 2014 Chevrolet Silverado off-road review .
That'll teach Chevy to not put Running Boards (surprised journalists call them side steps) on a Z71 package. TFL returns the vehicle with a nice scratch on it.
That's a fair point, but this is supposed to be the off-road spec
i dont see the big deal in that switch thing, cause if u go in the new porsche gt3, the key to start it is right next the the lights and nobody got a probl. with it and its the same , so why should that be a big issue on american vehicles and its ok on germans own
Or you could just lift the dam truck, Nathan. That'll solve the problem of the floor boards scraping on a rock or ground.
Great video guys> keep it up. U videos deserves more views.
Can i offroad w a chevy Silverado 2012 4.8Ls im not sure if its 4x4 or 2x4 someone help new truck owner and i kinda want to join the off roading club!
4x2*
That truck will have recall soon lol
You people complaining about ground clearance are funny, the Ram sit 8 inches from the ground without side steps. Plus the government forces them to make it lower so if they hit a car, it doesn't roll over it.
I love GM trucks... But what happened to solid axles and adequate ground clearance? Honestly I'm not too fond of IFS and how low GM trucks sit nowadays. Really makes me turn to Dodge.
Can you do a real offroad trail next time?
A buick can drive that
Why not get a lift kit.
The ones from Detroit, you thought they would of learned from the last model.
heavy chevy; aero dynamics neutered this truck; they need to make that front chin spoiler retractable; same with the running boards
sexy truck
Gm paid their debt to the government 3 years ahead of time with interest. I know this because I got a thank you letter from gm after buying my 09 silverado.
Crunchy
I don't think you realize that 99.9% of these luxurious off road trucks will never see off road.
chevy improved their engines rather than make something new like ford did (big mistake) cant beat an improved smallblock chevy thats based on a proven reliable engines of the past (vortec). Hurry for ecotec 3!
there wasnt a road. so yes it is off roading. also its a loaner car they arent going to do anything to risk breaking something
z71 is good for off road but the truck is too low. (not that you can't change that)
Oh it's called a lift kit my friend.
Never liked the stupid aerodynamics bumper pieces like on the new Tahoe it just makes it too minivan or something..
you call that offroading?
first thing i would do is take that stupid air down off the front end. All of these new trucks are so worried about their gas milage there becoming cars. Taller and taller gear ratios trucks that sit 9 inches off the ground
Laughing that you said that tire is decent. Go get a set of AT or MT tires buddy.
That airdam should only be help on by clips underneath and two bolts if I remember right. My owner manual says to remove it if you plan on going off road. Mine has been hanging up in the garage since I first got my truck (2006 Silverado).
Z71 off road package- HD shocks and two Z71 stickers! Lol . Yeah that's an off road package!! Not!!!
Those are NOT offroad tires, they're barely A/T's!
Yolo
Running boards suck
Honestly there are a few basic upgrades ANY 4x4 truck should get within a year or two of it being purchased.
A winch and winch bumper, a minimum of a 4inch lift, AT tires, full 4x4 lockers, skid plates and a better air filter.
It may sound like a lot but that basic kit will help keep you out of more trouble than you can think of.
The off-roaders on here are so funny. No you do not want more stock ground clearance because it will make the truck terrible on road for the average user. We all know real hard core off roaders will put in a lift kit and bigger tires. For the average users this is more then good enough.
Still can't beat a tacoma or frontier
He’s a Chevy hater. Try and be a little impartial. I take my 2014 Silverado 4wheeling and the fancy side steps come off!
😪😪
I like the videos with just you, the other guy is very annoying!
are you really trying to compare these trucks?? Raptor's better anyway
Yeaa! wrangler SRA master race.
: )
What idiot engineers place the 4wd system right next to the lights and make them look exactly the same.
That's so little bro y like that's not even a test 😑
Nathan I bet your ears were popping Alot huh?
That was a laughably poor review. You give no details about the engine, available power, interior (besides the sarcastic advice not to mix up the headlight and 4wd controls), and don't give any sort of context or value to your underbody shots. The terrain you chose to test on was a poor choice as well, as it was just a hard-packed dirt road (not much different than pavement) with a few small rocks you had to aim to hit, and likely couldn't even tell when you did. Unless you, Nathan, are the full staff and crew of The Fast Lane, I would suggest a change of personalities and practices, because these videos are boring and uninformative, and could be so much more. I enjoy the sheer number of vehicles you test, I think you just need to go more in depth with them. And you spend an inordinate amount of time in all your tests talking about the tires, when they don't require nearly that much exposition. Hope this helps you retain some viewership!
I figure the fancy trucks will be used off road almost as much as my wife's Explorer is- which would be never. I realize that the manufacturer is giving the buyers what they think they want. It is still a shame to see a tough truck being transformed into a metrosexual poseur. This is why I particularly enjoy Nathan and Roman treating and testing it like what is is supposed to be not what it is "prettied" up to be.
I disliked
Lame
My 1995 Ford Econoline conversion van has more usable ground clearance than this sad excuse for a truck
So a don't buy this truck if you need to go off the road!!! Just buy a Power Wagon!!
