Nice truck. Those wheels would look great on Red Hot or Thunderstorm Grey. I also like the lighter interior color too. And to answer your question, yes if you select the HD Front Springs/Camper package you will get a rating there for a slide in camper. My 2022 2500 has that option and I have a rating there. 2,627 pounds. It also raises the front axle rating to 5,200 pounds on the gas trucks.
It’s hard to tell not sure if it’s the angle of the camera the gooseneck package looks like it’s over the rear axle then previous models, or did GM move the gooseneck package forward over the rear axle?
I was wondering if the 2025 SLT has the rear view mirror camera option as I believe in 2024 they did not, yet the Chevy LTZ did have that available under a technology package. Again in 2024 one had to step up to the AT4 or above to get the camera within the rear view mirror option.
So they want 74k for this truck, my F350 XLT Premium, Sport, and FX4 with the 7.3L retailed for 68k I bought it for $63k. I have to say though, that is pretty competitive and better than ford pricing on retail comparing options. However, owning that lemon of a 2020 2500hd LTZ L5P, Chevrolet can keep them - 52 codes before I traded it off at 61k miles, also living in a state that doesn't use salt for the roads, the frame and components with that wax dip was rusting out bad. I truly feel that the new Chevrolet trucks are meant to be throw away ones. Get about 4 to 5 years, if it can make it that long and then trade it off. My next door neighbor had a 23 1500 that at 27k miles blew the motor. Chevrolet, I use to also own a 86' K20, were meant for longevity, but with my personal experience, not anymore.
@kmonto1971 IMO with the way the Light Duty ICE pick up market this past year has been one up'd by Ford and GM by non ICE offerings, it will not be long before the Medium Duty and Heavy Duty consumer pick up truck future market offers these gassers days will soon be numbered. Your next door neighbor with a 23 1500 that at 27k miles blew the engine is a thing of the past no matter what the brand. Why would anyone spend hard earned money with a possibility of a future blown engine?
They're all a gamble these days, thanks to our government. Being a fleet operator, I can tell you that GM is still more reliable and less to maintain than a Ford equivalent and has been for years in our experience. As far as rust goes, we're in Texas, so no worries on that point.
Which one will spend less time at the dealer? That to me would equal better. The Ford will have better numbers like payload, and port fuel injection vs direct for GM. On paper the Ford wins. But I’m skittish about Ford. They can’t seem to mfr. them without so many defects it requires a trip to the dealer every 3 months.
Damnit, the truck is sold. What do people do for work seriously to afford 75k plus? And they prob dont even tow with a work trailer during weeks all year round.
As a NYS resident, that's my biggest complaint. GM's frames look terrible after a year or 2 of our winters. Very limited undercoat options that work with the wax as well.
@@A-RSpeedI’m working here now and it’s true these cars and trucks look like hell. I’m from the south so we never have to deal with that. Surely there is another option than just salting roads by now. Do they use sand up here? They just use sand in Washington. I was working there last year this time. I know it’s not as affective but there has got to be a better way. I hope I’m out of here by November. I just got a New ford work truck. If I have to stay past November I’ll just buy an old beater up here.
My 2024 Silverado 3500 LT Duramax cost $73k. Why you would pay $74k for a gas is beyond me. And my LT has the new interior, center console, 360 camera with hitch and bed view, multi-folding tailgate, less chrome, etc… I really think buyers do not take the time to research these trucks and just look at price. If you’re looking at $100k Denali 2500 and you see this $74k gasser it makes the gas look like a bargain even if it’s not.
I like Chrome when you buy painted bumpers and everything the same color you're just saving the automaker money and take it i* t** a** i'll be buying one of these in the next few weeks. And diesels are not what they used to be.I'd rather have a gas diesel's way expensive and not very reliable.
@@joshuadavis9492 but diesel is a 10k option. The diesel has twice the torque as a gas. Drive a diesel up hill passing cars then drive a gas. It’s night and day. These trucks weigh over 4 tons. If I chose gas, then I would have paid $63k. To pay $74k for a gas doesn’t make sense when you can get almost the same truck in a Chevy LT for $10k less.
People buy gas engine trucks because they want a gas engine. They have it in their budget to get a diesel but they don't want one, so they get a gas truck with more options.
That was the highest trim level in an HD for years with GMC …..long before Denali was available in HD
Owned a bunch of em….still a good classic look
Great updates great information👍
I just bought a GMC 2025 2500HD AT4 drives like a Cadillac
I like those rims though. They go great with the color of the truck.
Nice truck. Those wheels would look great on Red Hot or Thunderstorm Grey. I also like the lighter interior color too.

At $74,000, I’ll pass. I used to buy a new truck every 6 or 7 years. Now I’ll be keeping my 2018 GMC SIERRA 2500hd for a long time.
You can upgrade the front coil springs. According to gm website it's 45 dollars to upgrade to a heavier springs for a camper.
Hey Did they fix the fuel control module issues
Nice tutorial
It’s hard to tell not sure if it’s the angle of the camera the gooseneck package looks like it’s over the rear axle then previous models, or did GM move the gooseneck package forward over the rear axle?
Beautiful rig.
These wheels look good would be nice if they had these wheels as an option for the AT4 I think it would pair up nicely

Gm should offer a midnight edition for the slt or sle or a sport edition.
$74k for a work truck. Ridiculous 😂😂
If it was a work truck, yes it would be. However this is equivalent to a Lariat, and LTZ.
Too much price should be around 40,000 MAX !

I would guess the off road package eliminated the ability for a drop in camper.
AT4 is the cutoff, not the Denali.
I wish GMC would go to that dash layout for all their trucks. Why would you want your trailer brake taking up storage area?
No start stop deactivation switch?
Doesn't use start stop
Which truck is better. This GMC SLT 6.6L Gasser or the Ford F250 Lariat 7.3 gasser.
Which one will spend less time at the dealer? That to me would equal better. The Ford will have better numbers like payload, and port fuel injection vs direct for GM. On paper the Ford wins. But I’m skittish about Ford. They can’t seem to mfr. them without so many defects it requires a trip to the dealer every 3 months.
@@Real_Natural I also think the GM wins on ride comfort and looks.
I like the wheels but way too much chrome on the front end for me.
For 74,000, they can keep it . I'll offer them 48,000 its just a fancy pick-up truck.
3 peak snow rating is new
It's not bad for a semi loaded 2500hd truck. 🤔
Damnit, the truck is sold. What do people do for work seriously to afford 75k plus? And they prob dont even tow with a work trailer during weeks all year round.
The fact that in 2024 GM still wax dips their frames while Ford & Ram E coat their frames makes me take a hard pass!
I prefer an ecoat frame too but that alone is not going to sway most buyers.
@@jayb7675because most buyers don't even know about that.

wash it ffs
Brown interior ruined it.
Why does the GM V8 HD seem so slow and get such bad mpgs compared to the Hemi and Godzilla 🤷♂️🤦
Those tires suck in the winter, put better tires on these trucks gm
They put the cheapest smallest tires to meet emissions tests.

Still ugly as ever!😢😢
