- ( www.TFLtruck.com ) The 2014 Chevy Silverado High Country pickup truck with the new 6.2L V8 is the most powerful light duty pickup that you can buy today. With 420 HP and 460 lb-ft the new High end Chevy essentially shares the same engine as the new Chevy Corvette. That means that it should not only be powerful but also fast. In another fun and informative TFLtruck video, Roman finds out just how fast the new Chevrolet Silverado will go from 0-60 MPH in this impromptu and First Drive Performance Review.

GM should offer the 6.2 in the Regular cab, standard box, two-wheel-drive, work truck configuration. Couple that with the triangle window steel wheels, and this thing would be a total sleeper, but still super practical.
And nv5600 6spd too
@@Mikey-wf9py Heck yeah! Convert that sucker from synchromesh to face-plate dogs.
@@Dr_Xyzt in Mexico you can get a regular cab short bed on the new style and you can get a six-speed manual
@@Dr_Xyzt and those bastards the 6.2 has five more horsepower but yet they all want to come run into our country s*** I'd want to stay
If everyone that's saying how bad this truck is actually drove this beauty, they'd be surprised. Truck is smooth and the power its' got is unbelievable.
Thanks for your comment. We really appreciate it. We asked Roman and he says you may want to let GM know this fact because the Silverado's head drivetrain engineer that Roman interviewed was under the impression that this is essentially the same engine as in the Vette.
Roman you are amazing. This video made my year. Keep them coming. By far the best truck on the market.
3:50 for the 0-60 run.
I really hope they come out with the Cheyenne ss truck! I want one so bad. I'd be their first buyer!
Yea buddy I hear ya with a 6.2 an weighs like 4000 would smoke my sierra denali
Great looking truck inside and out, I think they look exceptionally well with the chrome around the headlights color matched.
That really is a beautiful truck and that 6.2 is a beast...
Are you driving Limecreek Road in Austin? One of my favorite roads, definitely hard to find a straight patch of pavement on that road. So cool, definitely my favorite reviewers. Got to get a Corvette out on that road, would be a blast!
Yup, pretty much the same engine but tuned more for torques instead of horsepower. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Arrrr harrrrrr
My uncle has one and I fell in love with it. I switched to chevy with respect to ram still
It is kinda cool to see a big fat pick-up with an option motor doing 0-60 in the times they are doing now. Wasn't that long ago that a 454SS or Dakota R/T, or Lightning were insanely quick putting up a mid-7 number.
Yeah I can see that it would. I always like to see "real world" settings on the match ups when it comes to that stuff
Beautiful truck
I just bought an old Chevrolet Avalanche 2004. And I have a lot to do! I hope that Silverado 2014 will be my next! Good luck with everything! Greetings from Russia!
Thx for sneaking the keys Roman, this is a truck I was looking forward to seeing>
same as the corvette? I am a ford guy but that is impressive. Good to see Chevy doing something right. They have to their credit always made a decent larger motor though
such a sick truck love the looks of the GMC Denali
I was DEAD SET on getting a 2014 Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab and loved it when I drove it. I took 3 test drives, one was a really long 2 hour drive. Until 2 days ago when I test drove a loaded Silverado 1500 with the 6.2. Well, I've changed my mind, think I'm gonna go with the 6.2 Silverado now! It was a much nicer ride, better quality interior and had much more punch when I floored it. And the inside is so quiet. I especially loved when I totally blew past an F-150 when the light turned green even though he buried his pedal first lol Once I noticed he wanted to go, I floored it and passed him with ease.
Don't think so Tim these trucks are slow I eat them up all day hemi 5.7 463 rwhp dyno tested
moe green Funny enough, I've since changed my mind again since I posted that and bought a 2015 F-150 ecoboost after I test drove one. I've had it tuned and it blows anything out of the water by several car lengths. Mine is a supercrew 4x4 and I toasted a Hemi 2wd reg cab who was tuned with loud-ass muffler to boot. It was hilarious. Got 4 lengths ahead and he slowed down and turned off the road. lol Twin turbo chargers for the win!
+moe green 5.7s have no torque, hard for them to accelerate
+alkeli78 you need TwinTurbo's throw TwinTurbo's and a hemi eat that little ford up
Hemi's suck! Get an LS motor!
Hey Roman
Are you sure about that tow rating you mentioned in this vid? what gear ratio is this truck?what ratios are availible in the 6.2 truck?
Cool video.
How many MPG this truck does?
can't wait to have that engine in standard cab model :D
Hey Roman can you do a 0-60 test with the 4.3L V6 by any chance?
Amazing truck:)
Nice truck!
0-60 is a fun test. I really like the towing tests these gents do. That relates to the type of thing I have a truck for. I would like to see this particular set up do the same pull with the Lincoln and the trailer up the 11,000' mountain pass like the ford and tundra. I imagine this motor will be a thirsty one while towing...
Wondering how many people love the vibration/shudder and transmission clunking on the 6/8 speed. I own a 17 High Country 6.2L and it feels sometimes like getting rear ended with the bang it makes
I have a 2014 high country and it sounds like a garbage disposal here n there lol, folks tell me its torque converter and others telling me its just some shift solenoid sensor
C7, with a different intake manifold, restricting just a bit of power. The 2010-2013's shares the 6.2L of the C6, with a different intake manifold as well.
Have you test drove the 2015 chevy silverado durmax Diesel engine with Allison transmission?
according to an interview from Jordan Lee,(on the enginelabs website) chief designer of the small block program, this 6.2 truck engine shares the block, heads, intake ports, and valve sizes, with the LT1 biggest difference is intake manifold, with longer runners for more torque and tuning,
Beautiful truck, both inside and out. And it has a 6.2L. Only thing I don't really like are the wheels, but that's minor. Would love to own one. Some day...
The last year for the LT1 Vortec 350ci (at least for pickups) was 1997. In 1998 GM came out with the new model that had the 5.3L Vortec.
What I would like to see is a comparison between the GM6.2L with 8 speed transmission against the 2017 Ford 3.5L turbo with 10 speed transmission. Include trailer pull on the Gauntlet, and trailer MPG.
I currently own a ford but this a nice rig. My last silverado had major issues, that was disappointing, GM customer service was horrid for me so I made the switch. I am happy where I am but anyone who gets this I hope has A: better luck and B: really enjoys the rig. I like the small block on the 6.2. GOOD WORK GM
What year and engine?
I want that truck now!
Me too lol. I love dodges but damn chevy out did it this time
Hey Roman, your editor misspelled axle at 1:45.
The LT1 was a 350ci (5.7l) last used in 95 or 96 (Correct me if I'm wrong), but I think you're referring to the LS3 (6.2l) dropped in newer Corvettes.
Do the back seats have LATCH attachments for kid seats? As a dad its important to me.
I was speaking to the triton 5.7 had a 99 and 2005...nothing but problems out of both.got a 6.2 LTZ in 09 and been VERY pleased,can't wait to trade for a high country.Just speaking of my PERSONAL experience with the triton 5.7.
When you get into a Chevy you get into a league outta this world. There are no limits.
I have a 2013 Silverado 6.2 z71 and I LOVE IT power train and transmission wise. The inside is cheapy. But I know how these LS last and when I start her up cold in the morning even the stock exhaust is loud as hell. Everyone thinks I have aftermarket . I imagine some good stainless works long tubes would he bad ass.
Agreed
That would be interesting
Where exactly are you getting this infor from? My 2012 F150 Ecoboost Crewcab with the 4x4 off road package and tow package (not the max tow) and is rated to tow 9500 lbs.
it depends on the axel ratio .it was mentioned around 1:45
Nice truck, cant wait for the 2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
What makes the Corvette/Silverado LT1/L86 Gen 5 motor different is the cam profile and ecu software...
hey no worries, we all do it sometimes, just me being a FORD guy and seeing that chevy as your pic you kind of had it coming!!!
Hows the Lincoln resto going ? Haven't heard anything lately, How about a S/C Coyote engine swap ?? Hot Rod Lincoln !!
is the 6.2L in the 2007- 2013 not the same as the vette too??
I drove one of these for a weekend and the power just didnt seem hooked up. The MPG was 15 driving on flat land and babying it. The 6.2 option added $4000 to the price of truck.
so is this the same thing as a denali? but with differnt badging?
My dream truck...
Had a ported/ polished/ cammed / high rise alum intake 750 quad pumper 400 Pontiac in a 79.5 GMC Sierra 2wd. Turbo 400: shift kit, 400 +HP, tourque.
Took firechickens/Camaro for light to light wins.
My son bought a 15 h.c.6.2l
In 4wd. It wins
this chevy truck souds pretty badass
So where is the full review of this truck?
Beast! Chevy all the way!
Lol the raptors back then where running 6 sec flat
There a lot of automotive press events in and around the Austin area. If I could break into the journalism world, I'd barely have to travel...not really true...but it has me wishing one of the major publications would open offices here.
i wonder what that would do with the 3:73 gears
The tremor is a single cab short bed....its like the Rumble bee, built for speed. This is the High Country...fully loaded with all the comfort and work goodies and some balls to back it up.
So you guys got the High Country! Huh-haw.
So sick
What did you use to check 0-60 time?
3:53 Holy torque truncation launch lag!
My 01 was about 20k in 03, bone stock except for flowmaster exhaust it makes more power than I'll ever REALLY need lol (bout 350lb/ft) and has survived off-roading that people build prerunners for, other than typical maintenance and a little bit of warranty tranny repair (it is a dodge remember lol) never had a prob with it and it gets about 18 highway
I'm pretty sure trim doesn't make a truck tow any less? As long as the vehicle is set up with a 3.73 axle ratio, with the ecoboost, 4x4 and crew cab the spec sheet clearly says 11,200 lbs.
my tuned 2013 f150 ecoboost does 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds have the same timer he uses in video and my buddy used phone both were close to each other within tenth of a second
it shares the c7 engine? or c6?
Chevy is really reliable too. Better believe it.
Micheal Scott hell yea, the 6.0 more reliable
@@moparcharger8642 that literally makes no sense......What makes the 6.0ls more reliable than the 6.2 lt?
is this the ecotec 6.2L??
what kind of exhaust is on that truck?
0-60 towing the boat!!!
I only wish the 6.2 was offered in the Reg cab models.
gm flew you out there? You have my dream life
will this come in a single cab ?? someone please answer
3.42s it said in the video you can get 3.73s with max tow pack rated for 12,000 pounds not sure you can get a 3.08 tho
is this chevy's version of the denali
Yes the engine is not the LT1 but it is the new gen 5 motor which is closely related to the Gen V small-block V-8 in the new Chevy Corvette. Both are aluminum-block eights with 6.2 liters of displacement. Both feature cylinder deactivation and direct fuel injection, and both make north of 400 horses. Also it features the same 11.5 compression ratio. For all entended purposes and as explained by Chev exectives, it is the same engine as the corvette with a few ajustments to serve for truck duty.
it features all the same internals including the cam, pistons, rods and block.
I agree Connolly. My 4WD Screw EcoBoost is 5.4sec 0-60mph. Sometimes better.
there are 3 different LT1 generations the first original LT-1 was used in 1970-1972 in various corvettes and camaros, then the gen II small block there's the LT1 used in the 92-96 vette, 94-97 Camaro also an all aluminum version called the LT4 and a unrelated twin cam 32v engine called the LT5 in the 90-95 ZR-1 corvette, all these displaced 5.7L, the new LT1 is a Generation V small block, the LS3 is a gen IV small block, the man in the video is saying the ecotec3 6.2 is related to the new LT1
That big 6.2 will move
Thats a damn nice truck. When it comes to trucks you really can't lose with American.
My point was chevy knows how to make fast and GREAT sounding v8s
there are 3 things the same on this engine as the last and they are small like the starter bolt. this is a whole new engine direct inject, vvt, and active fuel management
I have gotten away from chevy/gm for sometime and have owned and still drive a Ford F150. No politics involved, oh and my wife drives a Buick, so to be fair here. I am shopping for a new truck. And my wife is shopping for a new suv.
I have looked at all and I am impressed with the new Chevy design, especially the High Country. I sat in one yesterday. No time to test drive, but I will soon. I was impressed with the new look and feel.
Do you guys make good money?
That truck was equipped with 3.42s I think. I thought these were rated to 11,500, though, with towing gears.
They should take with 3:73 an see how much it would change
I wanna see what it will do with a 150 shot
Any eco-boost f-150 can get in the mid to high 6s low 7s at the slowest... But this truck is an improvement over the previous model by far interior, exterior, motors ect. I'm waiting till 2015 to get the new f-150 with the updated eco-boost they say it could have 10-20 horse more and up to 20 pounds of torque more and it being 700 pounds lighter with aluminum used the tow rating sould be over 12,000 pounds
name of song?? 0:55
What about the SSR
That was 6:39 minutes of Heaven. That is a dream truck to have.
Sean miller is full of it
Great video. A Chevy truck with a Better engine. Nice!
The old body style was more pleasing to the eye
Is 67,000 miles a lot for one of these?
I'm just making assumptions here but I think that it's the same block design as the corvette, but with a different camshaft setup and tuning. You look at the Corvette and in that application it makes the same 460 lbs/ft of torque, but it also red lines around 7000 rpm. This truck likely tops out at about 5500-5800 rpm. It's tuned for lower end torque for towing but let's be honest I'm sure they did this to give the Tundra a run for it's money.
Being the honest type, I can say that I do have a chevy in the background of my Harley pic (not mine) and I have not yet heard one with my ears (not that there aren't a few out there) that I have not liked. I will agree that Chevy has always made a good motor. Favorite motor built is the chevy 350, when talking relatively older motors. As far as your turbo comments I am sure that with a turbo it would be an entirely different animal. The 6.2 will be a good motor I am sure.
How about a 0-60 run in LowRange and one in 4H. Anyway with theese powerful engines and empty bed all runs should be done in 4x4 high range
I love Fords and RAMs, but I'm rather impressed by this offering.
