I’ve watched a lot of car reviews on TH-cam, but yours are by far my favorite. They include what matter to normal buyers and your units of measurement (meatballs, penguins, cookies, and beans) should be adopted by everyone else. I drove a new SUV the other day. My wife and the dealer thought I was nuts when I expressed my opinion using them 😉. “Sorry but no sale...at 1.5 beans and 2 meatballs, this SUV is not for me!”
7:05 "IT STOPS!" I think Sarah flooded her basement with this brake test. I pick up a 2019 RST with the Z71 package and I have no complaints about it. They definitely settle in better with a payload. Also the storage is under the bench seat. As always you make awesome reviews for regular vehicles!
This Truck is the best $48K I've ever spent in my life. Halogen fog lights are the best, in my opinion. I had them on my 2015 Ford F-150 and the illumination was superior to my 2018 Silverado's LED fog lights. Same goes for head lamps. The Duramax weighs about 1,200 pounds more than the V8 HD, so yeah, I can understand the feel difference off road. My 2020 2500HD V8 can pull up to 18,100 pounds with the Gooseneck/5th Wheel option I have and I tow a 14,000 pound 5th wheel with an extra 1,500 - 2,000 pounds of gear in the trailer and some in the Truck and it handles it like a freight train. I use 4WD when towing down steep grades and it really helps in stability so you're not White knuckling. As far as looks, I think the Chevy Trucks are very tough looking. Dodge & Chevy are hands down the best looking Trucks.
Hit the like button after the "booger proof dash segment" ...gotta have that in a work truck. Totally agree with your comments at the end about purchasing gas vs diesel.
The reason of conventionnal headlight its because led doesnt produce a lot heat and in extreme winter condition ice will build up! I live in Quebec Canada and my light bar is useless in long trip with snowfall. Great review! Braking looks really good!!😉
I agree on the cloth seats. Leather and vinyl burns your buns in the summer and freezes them in the winter. And heated seats take a while to warm up. Except for cleaning spilled drinks.
I believe that Silverado has two penguin storage units in the center jump seat. The bolstered armrest does open, and the seat pad lifts to reveal a tablet-sized space. That beautiful truck didn't have that basic spec? Been watching your great videos from the beginning, and proud of you for achieving one of your goals of finding a shop space! Terrific job Sarah!
Yeah, I had a 74 and a 85 square body pickup. I think that's why I like it. And what full size pickup isnt 50k anymore. If I needed a full size I would look at it.
That truck should be called the Chevy VOLTRON the way it looks in the front. FYI that 6.6 should put out more than 401 horsepower..should be like 425 plus.
It’s not pretty, but there’s a good reason why they’re putting those powerful new headlamps so low now... They were blinding drivers and IIHS hits the safety scores for that.
Sarah you are so funny. You have humor along with great content. Your car reviews are so fun to watch your facial expressions. You are the best. So glad I'm a subscriber.
Oh wow the front is as terrible as the 2019 Camaro refresh, in fact it looks like the same design style with the bar going across the grille. The 2020 RAM and F150 both are way ahead of this thing.
The RAM and Ford look completely dated. Especially the RAM, total 90s. This truck is gorgeous. It's the polarizing designs that grow on ppl that stand up over time. But 100% agreed on Camaro refresh. Garbage.
@@karag6556 pretty much. The LED headlights look a hair better but not much. The base work trucks really make me wonder how Chevy dropped the ball so bad. Hideous.
@@tymeryder7264 A freudian slip indeed, if such is the case of previous emotional salinity. Sarah always helps with that though. It should also be noted that I might have been projecting unto you. I had had a few too many chips earlier on...lol
I love the front end and I do not like LED lights they are only bright when looking at them but when you look from behind them they suck love you and your Videos .
old tech, not a bad thing, but the 400 small block is a solid motor, unless you have to rebuild them. a friends got a blazer from 1978, 400 and after getting it smogged out, straight pipes, aftermarket cam and intake with a carb that is awesome. but im not at all surprised by this truck.
In all gm vehicles, idk if you already know but if you hold the tcs button for longer until “stabilitrak” off it will perform more better than just tcs off for a more trueish mechanical feel like the older days....
The reason this truck comes with the second battery box is because it is a work truck. So let's say you buy it for construction and you want to add the yellow construction lights, and other back up lights or lighting for the construction site you will often need the extra battery power. Also construction guys in the great north where I live usually plow a lot of snow in the winter and the snow plow will also use extra battery power to run the plow, amber lights and plow lights. I'm sure it is also equipped with a high watt alternator as well. I'm sure it also has extra knock outs in the dash for added toggle switches to run it all. Some even come with extra switches and wiring already out to under the hood to wire things so you don't have to cut threw the fire wall. It's pretty close to plug and play. These trucks are way better then the old days where you were under the dash for hours drilling holes for switches and running wiring while laying on your head.
6:46 Pontiacs V8's 55-82 were not small blocks or big blocks ,, they were all the same block dimensionally... Chevy's 400 was a small block... the 400 in the T/A was a Pontiac motor ,, the "other" 6.6l was an Olds 403.
in this day and age you can get a pickup for every taste...and a 2500 version you would think is for work related purposes..mb just a tow vehicle...but you can get em loaded ...todays half ton do more than the old 3/4 ton and in some cases more than the old 3500...
Evening Sarah! Hope you're feeling better and getting better. 👍🏻 Nothing like a big gass V8 to make the blood flow... I'm a huge fan of the old square body Chevy trucks... I have an '86 K10 with a 400+hp small block stroker & 4-speed sitting on 38's... And a '78 K10 with 1-ton running gear, 20" of lift, and 44's. They sit in a shop... I planned on combining the best parts of the 2, and then selling the other running truck with the parts I don't want/need. Priorities shifted to "real life", so those took a backseat for the last 8+ years.
The should have given the new gasser the new 10speed or at least an 8. Also offer it with an optional 4.10 axle and not ONLY a 3.73 🤦♂️ Would really help this thing towing
Gotta try out the Ford 7.3 next! The GM is good, not hating on it, but the Ford destroyed in pulling a trailer up Eisenhower pass in Colorado The Ford had to actually slow down a few times as it was going faster than the speed limit (they don’t break it for the testing) and the 7.3 still made it to the top over 3 minutes faster than the GM That new 7.3 gas engine is an absolute BEAST! The only gas engine to ever keep up with the diesel trucks while pulling 16,000 pounds! 💪 And can’t wait for you to test the new Powerstroke too! Big love to Sarah and her penguins!
A Chevy fan since I was a little kid . My grandfather was a small Chevrolet dealer in a small village in the Poconos in Pa. Nice review Sarah and good on you getting up that hill . I like these trucks except for the cost and gas mileage. Supposedly they’re working on some electric trucks in the next couple years.
I liked your road test of the Chevy Pickup. You opened my eyes to the 400cubic inch engine. I own a 2019 1500 Chevy Pickup. You missed 2 different large compartments in the console. I did like the added features of the GMC and believe I am going to buy it next. Thank General Motors for me, if you hadn’t done these reviews I wouldn’t have known which one to buy.
The original 400 wasn't actually a small block. It wasn't a big block either. It was its own engine, but happened to have a common bore spacing with the SBC, so its crank could be fitted into the SBC IF, and only if, you turned down the main bearing diameter to match the standard SBC bearing size, and you clearanced the block for the extra stroke of the longer crank to fit within the SBC crankcase. Usually, this would result in what you'd call a 383 stroker.
Any truck with a tow package is going to stop scary fast when empty. The test standards for tow rating require you to be able to stop with a trailer at the full rating without trailer brakes in a certain distance. Engineering explained did a video about it.
Haha I had to watch when you tested the breaks a couple times haha that was to funny I even watched it in slow motion a couple times haha your to funny Sarah
I don't watch too much of your reviews, because you are so much better to watch. Despite being a petite girl, you seem to fit into everything nicely. I like that you can think thoughts that most can't and do it quickly so that I can follow along with excitement. I am often riveted by the several directions you take so quickly. And your eye contact is excellent. Keep things up little lady. And keep cuddling....it's important.
So there's enough room in the back seat to start a family!
Amen
@@MrDavidelliottjr lol
What are we waiting for.
Can't impregnate yourself.
Just bought a 2500HD LTZ with the big gas 6.6 :) Great review, totally agree! Awesome job!
Debating on the gas or diesel, you like your gasser?
That’s badass how do you like it?
Love the off road segments Sarah! My favorite feature of your reviews. 👍
Sarah "I'm not motor trend" ntuned 😂
Yay for that!
Would love to see Sarah and Mick-Beth tear it up over at Cleetus's Freedom Factory.
I really like your new rating system. I laughed out loud at "ass juice." Keep up the great work.

Vic, where you be?
Need more vids! =)

Great review of the truck! We enjoyed this same truck and really tested its offroad capabilities and showed how the 4wd systems work.
Thank you Sarah. You always keep it to the "short and to the simple." Rock on.

The reason of conventionnal headlight its because led doesnt produce a lot heat and in extreme winter condition ice will build up! I live in Quebec Canada and my light bar is useless in long trip with snowfall. Great review! Braking looks really good!!😉
Maybe you could implement a “booger score” to rate how easy or hard it would be to keep an interior clean... 😉

This has to be one of the best reviews I've ever seen. Just love your enthusiasm. Great job and keep the videos coming.
"Go you big Sasquatch truck go"..lol. Did some ripin and tearin for a big ole beast
I built a 400 small block for my 79 Nova back in a past life. What a torque monster!!
Wear fabrics that evacuate moisture and you won't feel so much sweat. Though I agree leather/vinyl are like sitting on a frying pan in the desert.
Jealous of how much fun you have testing new vehicles. Love your sense of humor!
I can still remember when the 454 engine was prevalent in the chevy trucks
96-98 had the best of them, that roller cam, multi port injected monster. Want to swap one into my 93, get rid of the lethargic tbi 350.
Put it in 4 low and drop it in 1st gear, there’s your hill descent control right there.
Awesome review. A real review from a true gear head 👌 loved the brake test . The tech talk + glasses with doctors jacket 🔥 😉
One of the best reviews for a truck on TH-cam hands down 👌🏽👌🏽
Yeah, I had a 74 and a 85 square body pickup. I think that's why I like it. And what full size pickup isnt 50k anymore.
If I needed a full size I would look at it.
Usually don't like to watch truck videos, but you make me giggle. Good job. Keep up the good work
Never laughed so hard in my life.......had to pull off the road just to regain my composure......Sarah we love you. Your;re CRUSHING
So you're saying you watch TH-cam videos while you're driving?
Standing by for your review of the 2020 F250 with the 7.3L Godzilla engine.
Death wobble galore
Sarah one thing I really enjoy about your reviews is how much fun you have making them 😄
Who doesn't love the 70s- 80s square body design?
That truck should be called the Chevy VOLTRON the way it looks in the front. FYI that 6.6 should put out more than 401 horsepower..should be like 425 plus.
There’s a handle under the dent in the center console, the center does open.

If you never had one, you can't say much...

That truck is beyond fuggly! I still haven’t processed “...all that ass juice is going to soak in...”!! Hilariously good review!
Just bought this same truck/ color
2500hd custom
It's really a beast

Its 1:55 AM and I'm watching a review on a truck I'll never need to own 😂.
I can see "Sarah's Hill" becoming a new metric of how competent SUV's and Pickups are in the real world.
Thanks Sarah for sharing this amazing video 😍👍
This is one of the best reviews I've watched on TH-cam , and I've watched a lot of'em
Halogen lights you can change the bulbs, most led lights you have to buy a whole unit at a lot of money.
Welp, I found my new favorite channel.
The styling reminds me of when I had braces. Trust me. Thirteen was not a good look for me and neither is this truck. IMO.
I love the front end and I do not like LED lights they are only bright when looking at them but when you look from behind them they suck love you and your Videos .

"me's knees" I'm dying!!! Great review Sarah!!
I see Chevy is bringing back the look of the Pontiac Aztek light cluster design and body-color bar between the lights.
Hill decent function is for big grades and long distances so you don’t pump brakes for a long time and fry them out, it engine brakes for you

I love the look of this truck besides Chevy written out on the grille, I wish it was just the traditional bow tie
The old 73-87 Chevy and GMC are the best.

I love your reviews!!! I think you're one of the best reviewers on TH-cam!! :)
You just had to find it’s happy place and that truck will go or do anything. Great vid
anyone else agree, there needs to be more Sarah...?
I'm with you Sarah, that truck is gorgeous. Only ford fans hate it lol.
Gotta try out the Ford 7.3 next!
The GM is good, not hating on it, but the Ford destroyed in pulling a trailer up Eisenhower pass in Colorado
The Ford had to actually slow down a few times as it was going faster than the speed limit (they don’t break it for the testing) and the 7.3 still made it to the top over 3 minutes faster than the GM
That new 7.3 gas engine is an absolute BEAST!
The only gas engine to ever keep up with the diesel trucks while pulling 16,000 pounds! 💪
And can’t wait for you to test the new Powerstroke too!
Big love to Sarah and her penguins!
I think this is the best looking truck Ive ever seen
I come for the laughs, and you never fail to disappoint. But this video was a barrel full of laughs!

Omg lmao, have you ever tried cleaning a booger off of elkintara? I like this woman!
The original 400 wasn't actually a small block. It wasn't a big block either. It was its own engine, but happened to have a common bore spacing with the SBC, so its crank could be fitted into the SBC IF, and only if, you turned down the main bearing diameter to match the standard SBC bearing size, and you clearanced the block for the extra stroke of the longer crank to fit within the SBC crankcase. Usually, this would result in what you'd call a 383 stroker.
Any truck with a tow package is going to stop scary fast when empty. The test standards for tow rating require you to be able to stop with a trailer at the full rating without trailer brakes in a certain distance. Engineering explained did a video about it.

Great review. Beautiful truck.
As again Sarah five penguins for totally entertaining us people of the interest keep up your brilliant work
Ok your O face during the braking test won my approval.

Halogen easy to get at walmart and easy to change and cheaper.
