Thank you for the rundown. my dealer didn’t deliver the truck properly because they didn’t get it ready for a week they had it, salesman got upset threw me the keys and said I am done. I was a little disappointed and regretted buying from them. Your video actually showed me an intro on how things worked on the truck, thank you for the great video.
I’ve had my 2021 3500 High Country for three weeks now. Love it. I’m finding lots of hidden features on the key fob my dealer didn’t know about. When you put your directional on in trailer mode, a camera automatically views down the side of trailer you are turning into. Found that out today lol
@@WesternGMDrumheller I’ve had the truck for 3 months now and I’m very happy with it… never considered other brands. Owned a 2003 Duramax and was happy with it except for the fuel injector issues on the early models. Fords are too boxy looking…like a cardboard box going down the Highway. Don’t care for the looks of dodge either. I like the Chevy front end, the grill and the hood. The step bumper and bedside step. The multiplex tailgate, and the motor is quieter than dodge or Ford. I know diesels are noisy in general but I’m over it…Cummings and ford are just obnoxious in the noise they make….
In Canada auto manufactures offer something called a "BLOCK HEATER" or "PAN HEATER" they have a cord that plugs into what I showed you in the video. Then that plugs into a normal 3 prong 110v outlet from your home. When the temp is -15° C or lower it draws energy to keep your engine block warm or the oil pan warm as cold-start wear is bad for ICE engines. The added heat makes the oil flow easier because as it gets colder outside your oil’s viscosity increases (it thickens) its harder for thicker oil to move and lubricate, makes sense right!? So, in Canada MOST vehicle have a block heater and when the temp outside dips below -15° C it automatically turns on if plugged in.
@@WesternGMDrumheller wow ! Cool feature. A big thanks for the detailed explanation. BTW do they change left hand drive to right hand drive if the customer imports the truck to another country?
Pretty sure the tailgate is also power up, you can see the arrow on the button goes up and down. I have a 2022 High Country 3500HD SRW LB, and the small feature with the truck remembering the tow haul mode is a plus. One complaint, I have read that on the short box, the Factory Puck system place the gooseneck ball behind the rear axle, and even if installing an aftermarket gooseneck hitch such as the B&W there is a crossmember under the bed where the center ball to be located. With the long box there is no issue, I would not consider a short box. In the States, it is only $200.00 more for the LB. They did change the Puck System footprint size starting in 2000, I guess that is when they moved the center of the fifth wheel and gooseneck back on the short box trucks even though there is only I think 14 inches difference between the two truck beds now. This was a really good review, you covered a lot of the little details that most never mention at all.
Why not comment on the things that matter? For instance, the L5P uses a Denso HP4 pump, rather than the CP4 (which grenades; and is used by Ford and Ram STILL). The L5P also performs regen with a 9th injector down stream of the turbo charger (eliminates cylinder washing, excessive EGT’s in the cylinder... etc). Thats why folks should buy an L5P. The bs jargon about the ring gear made me spit out my coffee, where did you pull that nonsense out of??!
Since you know alot about the l5p, should i keep my 2020 l5p stock or delete it? I know my 2008 lmm started running like shit and regened every time i drove past 20 miles it would start regening and setting its self into limp mode, i dont want to deal with the same stuff on this new one.
@@probmxjona I would delete and leave stock tuning at some point. Although waiting until a warranty has expired before deleting might be worth it. The way the L5P regens (downstream) it’s not detrimental to the engine/pistons as in your LMM when it regens in the cylinder.
@@StraitHoss its just scared me the other day. Had a DEF light come on and say quality of DEF Bad, and that i had 100 miles to get it to a shop then as i drove it went away and has not came on since
No I haven't experienced that. TFL Truck (Reviewer) do the Ike gauntlet test while towing 9000lbs and the Duramax consistently performs better than the other guys in fuel economy.
My buddy got a new high country and he gets 9 mpg its not a huge boat said he gets about 14 to 15 with his 2011 he said they are so bogged down anymore idk
@@andrewtrask9650 a 2011 to a 2021 is 10 years and 3 generations newer truck. The differences are HUGE between these trucks. Think of it like comparing an iPhone 3G to an iPhone 12 both are iPhones but there are MASSIVE differences between them lol right!?
Travajando duro compa, yo tenia una 2008 Duramax con el LMM la tuve por 12 años la compre con 100k millas, y siempre admirava a los que tenian las nuevas Duramax, y gracias a Dios con el travajo con el que el me da y mis esfuerzos, ya tengo una 2020 GMC 2500 AT4, pero nada se puede sin Dios y travajo duro
Sorry Tim! What I do is unscripted while holding my iPhone with my right hand and sometimes I go very in-depth about things...other times I don't. But this is the Legendary Duramax Diesel with Allision Transmission. There are over 1 million of these trucks still registered on North American Roads today. This GM built (L5P) 6.6L V-8 Duramax Turbo Diesel has 445hp 910lb-ft torque at 1600RPM vroom vroom baby! Appreciate your comments, cheers!
As a truck guy Chevys the only one out of the 2 Denali/Chevy that actually changed there grill. I absolutely love that grill. It’s too bad they have done nothing major with the interior all these years. Just insulting. What are we just a bunch of dum ass apple I phone consumers …
Your right I just got two terms mixed up. What I spoke about is called Hill Start Assist. The button I described is Hill Descent Control which if you have your cruise control set and you start descending into a valley it will use the vehicles traction & stability systems to assist in maintaining traction and speed. Its a fancy way of saying it uses the brakes, lol. But I'm not immune to making mistakes, thanks for watching, cheers!
Bro ring gear size does affect torque to your wheels we were told this by a GM engineer so if your asking how does gear size affect torque here is the answer? Torque is the measure of twisting force, calculated as the product of circumferential force multiplied by the radius of the gear. This means that BIGGER GEARS will have MORE TORQUE than smaller gears because of the larger radii of the gears.

Hey Jason, I really appreciate the kind words, cheers!
Great video! I appreciate how you’re just a guy going through your product without paid advertising or shameless self promotion...it’s refreshing.
Appreciate the kind words, cheers!

Nice rig you got there and yes you will find more! Have you found your front job site lighting buttons yet? We appreciate the comments, cheers!
From someone who sells these, thanks
This guy is a great salesman
Hey Jose appreciate the kinds words, cheers!
Love the truck. I love my Sierra HD with my 10 speed Alison trans that’s amazing
GM really knows how to make an amazing truck
I agree, cheers!
Having a 22’ built next week and delivered n January. Thanks for the review👍👍
Awesome Chris! Can I ask you a question!? Did you consider any other trucks and what was the reason you choose Silverado HD?

@@chrishodapp1962 Glad to hear Chris. Big changes from your 2003 to a 2022 hey!?
The camera system is extra if you want to use invisible trailering. Nothing else works but gm parts. Cameras and cables are not cheap. 😢

I heard the 2021 high country has wireless apple carplay and android auto, is that true for this vehicle or do you still need to plug it in.
I just bought one and it does have wireless android autonand apple Carplay
it sure does!
I have a 22 high country duramax they are nice trucks
Nice, how's the fuel economy so far!
So for the short people can the seats be adjusted??
Yes in fact the GM Trucks have more adjustability up/down front/back than any other truck so you WILL fit.
@@WesternGMDrumheller well that did I’m SOLD!!!

How much is it
MSRP $94,643 CDN less any Discounts and Incentives OR about $13 bucks USD, lol, JK. $1 United States Dollar equals
$1.28 Canadian Dollar.
Heard they are horrible on gas towing

biggest flop on these trucks is the leather option. neeed all brown seats
You can get Jet Black or the Jet Black/Umber (aka Brown) interior. I love the Brown but not everyone does.
10 speed??!@
You bet when you go with the Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 Engine you get an Allison 10-Speed Automatic Transmission.
Every review i look at not a single person owns the truck cause it’s to damn expensive lmao
he must be the accountant from the dealer on his lunch break......
Ha that's funny, I was on my second lunch break actually!
And the engine was ... ? ... open the hood and ... ? Oh, don’t worry about the engine ... :P
