Here is the link to the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with the Duramax Diesel engine: th-cam.com/video/47H0rEHyddw/w-d-xo.html
I am a Chevy guy and I would love to have that truck it looks great to me.
GM always say that’s they designed their trucks based on customers recommendation. I have been owning GM vehicles for ever and no one calls me yet to get my recommendation wtf.
Go!!! FORD!
@@robertmeese6545 the Ford isn't hardly any better lookin. Haha
@@jkheslekrants Especially the updated 2020 Super Duty. They put the grille from an 09 Honda Pilot on the front of it.
Ford does the same shit. We spend 30 to 75k on a truck and we dont even get a chance to fill out an ownership surveu to the manufacturer. There lack of interest was obvious whe i traded a 2012 f150 in for a 2018. 26k miles later i traded 2018 back in for a 2013....and im very happy. These companies r way out of touch!
dont feel bad i work for GM and they got my number and they still dont call me either
I'm 19 and I just bought my 21 2500 I got the wt trim with 6.6 gas 4x4 I tow things but nothing where I see myself needing a diesel I just need it to go a to b and I'm in love with it
I brought the new 2020 G.M.C. 2500, so far I love it and it tows my 24 ft trailer great. I dont even know it's back there. My old 04 2500 had to work going up hills.
Was the 04 the 8.1L and 2020 the 6.6L gas?
Tbh the lack of charging ports is the only thing I really needs. I get it’s not your thing but work trucks for companies with fleets will love the simplicity. A lot of works who are in the field every day like-love simplicity. If you want the other stuff you can just add it when you have one built.
Jeff I feel you, I need my truck to work and work hard for 10 years or more. Bells and whistles are for the other car. If you need 30 cameras and extra computers to drive a trailer you dont need to be hauling one.
I Love what that Gentleman said .. 💯%
Biggest pro of the truck is the addition of rear AC vents. I like the G80 is standard. Sure it's not a full locker but the fact that it is standard is huge. I think the grille design might scare away a lot of customers. In your opinion Tim, is the 6.6 gas really that big of an improvement over the 6.0 vortec? Jeff is a good co host by the way.
I think the 6.6 is a good improvement. Ground breaking better? Nope.
And yeah, I thought Jeff and I played well off each other. It’s been a few years since I drove with him and we had a lot of fun.
The G80 is a full locker.
The G80 has been standard for years.
Check out the front end of a 1960 chevy truck. The design cues are very spot on retro.
wake me up when they get to the 70s.
I agree... The top signal light on the front reminds me of the Apache
The new 2020 front end looks like the front end of a locomotive..GM makes great locomotives.....
The driver is waiting for the guy to say i hate it! Lol
An auto locker is way better you don't have to stop to lock it in if you get in the slippery stuff before you know it.
@@highball7347 I have a G80 in my 2004 Silverado 2500, and In the 10.5 years that I've owned mine, I haven't had any trouble getting it to lock up and I can't recall ever actually hearing it lock up...Even when beating the hell out of it or drifting around corners...it makes it really easy to steer it with the throttle when you want to as well...Never driven one with an electric locker though..Take it easy.
From about 11:45 to 13:25, cool guy is totally passed out in the passenger seat up front. LMAO
At 13:00 in the video you said exhaust brake/ I thought this was a gas rngine?
Fiat doesn’t offer the 12” screen in the work truck, it’s a 7” or optional 8.4”. Does the high country offer the push button like the Denali, or is it also keyed?
Push button.
It's just like the half-tons. The WT and Custom trims have key ignitions while the LT trim and up are push button. Correct about the Ram touchscreens too.
More interested in the 6.6 V8.
A Hotrodders delight with a valve spring and cam swap and inlet manifold and headers.
The engine should be a good match for the Ford 7.3.
Thank you for showing the front dash and side door panels of the interior for this work truck. I'm pleased that Chevy have the option for the transfer case control on the dash if you want it which to me frees up the front middle seat floor space. Also I'm pleased to hear that they are holding pricing down for the lower trim levels. Nice job on the review. Well done.
Just test drive one and I liked everything except for the trans. 1st to 2nd shifts lazy. It would drive me crazy daily driving it. I then test drove a ‘19 2500 duramax and the Trans felt amazing.
I like it. I am putting it out there, thats one good looking truck. The different front end looks really help. At first it was like dam, now its fitting right in with that big truck feel and the attitude of lets get the job done with a nice suspension ride
Agree
How would you say is the suspension when empty
I like the G80 on the work truck...if they were making a Power Wagon eqivelant, no way. But in a WT, I think it works.
You said about snow plow and not cutting the Front plastic what is the front axle weight of those new trucks the book for having a plow on the front
Not sure. You would have to check with a GM dealer.
@@Pickuptrucktalk what you should say in the door sticker
Side step is great, crew cab 8’ bed 👌
Jantzen Moore Ford charges a small fortune for those kick-out sidesteps. They now offer extra length running boards like Ram does.
Its a throwback appearance. It resembles a 1966 chevy pickup.
It resembles a mini van slept with an Aztec and had a WTF is that thing?
The appereance will change in a few years and with all chevy trucks that were panned by the so called experts, it will be considered desirable.
Kreigerhh88 regurgitated ford? Ford hasn’t changed their design in 20 years
The g 80 locker is awesome
Leonard Rice they have had that since the 1960’s it is nice
I think the younger guy just wants the dopamine hit of pushing a very expensive button to do exactly the same thing
Less is more in my book. I like the way this truck is set up. Just not sold on the look yet. And I want to let the 6.6 get a few more years on it.
Can you tell us what mpg you observed when running empty?
Mid teens.
10
I like the new GM heavy duties, everything is utilitarian about the truck.
But nitpicking on what the basic Work truck that is probably a package or option if you want all that or another model.. ;-(
True. I was nitpicking, but then again, that’s my job. 😀
First time here and I am considering the new 2020 400/6.6 gas. I tow every day with GMC 2500 HD 2wd ext lb, only slight changes between the Chevy, according to an engineer I spoke with @ NAIAS. My current '07, '11 GMCs are 6.0 gas returning 18 & 16 mpg highway respectively empty. Also have a loaded - tow package '17 GMC 1500 crew 6.6 box, 6.2 with 8 speed returns 25 mpgs. I didn't hear a thing about MPG. Wanted to hear how the 6 speed responded. If GM is listening, would like the 8' box available on more 1500s. On comfort, gotta haves are sunroof, climate seats, heated steering and I do like the tow package mirrors. Love to have a larger display screen, but not the huge screen found in the Ram. On Chevy's new 'fist in your face' design, I like it in certain colors and my wife surprisingly loves the Chevy HD
does any HD manufacturer offer a selectable locking rear diff in a 2500/3500
Ford has and electronic push button on their single rear wheel F250 and F350. Limited axle for their duellies.
Off the top of my head Ram does as well. You can get it on the Power Wagon as well as a Power Wagon package on the Tradesman. Again, off the top of my head.
@@budguy8829 That's an optional feature. A lot of Super Duty's you find on dealer lots have open diffs or at least did for many years.
The look definitely grows on you over time. Every truck Chevy designs is like that. My very first impression of the 2020 was bad but I'm already liking it. Maybe that's just because I'm a die hard GM fan but it's almost as if Chevy does it on purpose.
Butt ugly junk
I heard you only get those from sitting in a Ford.
Couple things. Isn’t this the Custom trim? You keep saying it’s the WT trim but pretty sure it’s the Custom Trim. Also you mentioned no cup holders in the back seats but there are at least one in each rear door. But I do agree about the interior, GM needs to step up if they want to be competitive.
Custom is a work truck trim level, so yeah. We are both right. Good point on cup holders in the door.
@@Pickuptrucktalk Custom is technically a trim above the W/T trim on Chevys website.
Gm always had best exterior but interior needs serious upgrades
Fast forwarded and landed on "let's come inside the cab". Wait what am I watching.
The new 401 is screaming to me for a standalone ECU 2 bar map 84mm turbo and to be shoved in my 78 Nova . It should hold quite a bit of boost on stock internals with that iron block . 8k for a turnkey motor . 👍
My old 2016 Silverado looks exactly the same. No interior updates. Bet that tech is the same of 2016. Need a video on that
Lots of new tech. I need to do a video on just the tech when I get another one. There is some much to cover, it is hard to film one mega video with everything.
It's similar but it's not identical in styling. The tech in the upper trims is a lot newer and their new touchscreen system is heavily updated. Especially the trucks with 15 different cameras.
Have not found info on new tech. A videos would cool to see
Not really comparing apples to apples on the interiors. All work truck trim is basically a deleted option of a higher trim level. None of the 3 major truck manufacturers are going to redesign a different interior for their work trucks. It's always going to be their flagship interior with all the bells and whistles deleted.
Correct.
Yeah the WT and Custom trims are de-contented pretty heavily. The 2019 Silverado half-ton in the Custom trim doesn't even have a center storage bin in the armrest. It's to push truck buyers to upgrade to a higher trim level.
What is the fuel economy with the 6.6 gas ?
Since it is considered a heavy-duty truck, there is no official fuel economy rating.
how long before the direct injected engine needs to be sent in for walnut blasting?
With the right amount of injector cleaning, this shouldn’t happen. Shouldn’t being the operative word. It is really interesting how much talk there is about direct injection these days. I definitely plan on doing more videos on this.
I have concerns about that, the top part of the engine has these big looking tubes. air moves at 100mph in there helping or preventing unused fuel and oil getting to the back of the valve. if that is true, and it actually works to prevent gunk on back of the valve, that would be awesome. Im 50/50 on this 6.6 gas, maybe it is possible to add a catch can?? also i hear that turbo gdi direct engines are more prone to gunk valve buildup, due to high heat.
@@salguzman7840 turbocharged GDI engines have significantly more blow-by due to the higher cylinder pressures. And turbo seals have a nasty tendency to leak oil by. Leading to a bit of double-trouble.
@@Pickuptrucktalk I am highly skeptical of this kind of application of GDI. With the typical operating condition of this class of vehicle, engines spend a lot of time at high-load, low rpm conditions. Because of when fuel is injected into the cylinder in GDI, when there is low intake air velocity, it has a hard time atomizing before combustion. I would be worried about cylinder wash-down and excessive oil dilution. Plus, running an engine hard increases the amount of blowby going through the PCV. I would love to be proven wrong, but I am going with a tried and true Ford 6.2 for 2020.
Don’t need it but I’m digging it! I’m glad it has the 6 speed. It doesn’t need anymore gears let it pull and drink a little gas. I hate to hear a truck shifting up and down non stop. I was fine with the 4l80. Less glam more function is fine with me. I Like the passengers view point. A few days ago I saw this Realtor dude Slipping out of a totally decked out brand new F250 king ranch. He was so pretty his designer boots were cleaner than my hands. And I’m thinking this is why trucks are made the way they are today because of this guy that has the money to buy 5 of them And have one to drive each day of the week. I think most working class guys that need this truck if this is the brand they prefer will be fine with it. If you need any more doodads then that you probably didn’t need a truck anyways.
43k seems like a good price for that truck with those options, that’s all I’d want. Crew 4x4 and apple car play, vinyl floor, but what is with the lights there mounted upside down and looks ugly.
Manley Williams I’m always baffled as to why they don’t turn on the fog lights in those side video shots on the highway. I always use mine, day or night so there’s more visibility to other drivers. Much better at night, and I think it looks better to have them on too.
It's the same way Ford stacks their headlights. There's a preference in the HD community to have the turn signals up high.
Aztek 2500 HD. Nice...
Hahaha!
Exactly my friend, lol.
Chevy!!!! Like a Rock!!!
The exhaust brake on a gas engine would be news to GM.
What do you think of this engine transmission combo vs the '21 f250 base engine with 6 speed transmission? Specifically speaking to reliability. I know it's a difficult question because this is a new engine still. Seems like this could be better. I want a 10 speed but I'm starting to hear that it has alot of issues.
Time will tell. I'm driving a Ford with the 10 speed right now and haven't had any issues if that helps.
Look out guys there's someone in the back seat!!!!
I've no need of a HD truck. However, 1/2 tons are priced almost the same these days. I prefer a basic HD truck to a loaded 1/2 ton with only a 1000lbs of payload, cylinder deactivation, stop/start DI and all the complexity that reduces reliability and delivers marginal fuel economy. Give me a reliable 3/4 ton truck and I'll drive it for a decade or longer. Thats better for the environment than all the hybrid / eV garbage being built these days.
Watching this Video Someone Mentions using a Water Hose to clean Interior, That is a Bad Idea on many Levels. There is a LOT of wiring under that mat. And Insulation, which holds water like a sponge. That will cause Connector Concerns (Air Bag System use resistance to self check System corrision equals excessive resistance ) Never induce water in a Modern Car or Truck Interior !!! It will be a costly mistake !!! Not to mention Floor Rot.
It's a Custom trim which means it's heavily de-contented. That content includes storage bins, USB ports, cup holders, keyless entry, insturment cluster, and other features. Most retail customers won't even consider a Custom trim because they're basically a fleet special. Same with the keyed ignition. The LT trim would be the typical entry-level trim for a retail buyer and those trucks have keyless ignition, 8 inch touchscreen, all the cup holders, tons of USB ports, etc.
You're right about most customers but I really like the custom for the half ton in the 3/4 ton the best
It actually has a 6'8" bed. Not sure if you were aware of that.
Mine was 6'7
Both wrong....its 6'9"
@@kirkdunn1379 you’re wrong too lol. I just bought one and it tapes out 6’10” exactly from cab to tailgate and it’s 6’ wide too!

People that say it’s “ugly” low key cannot afford it, or already in debt/stuck on another truck...😆😆 i like all trucks, at least be great full that we have trucks! 99.99% of us can’t build one from the ground up! That’s a fact! Imagine your life without these machines, crying about looks who cares! performance is king.
Huh?
Quang Nguyen what do you mean “huh?”
@@mv5596 I don't normally respond but this is too amusing. I said huh because I had a heck of a time following your train of thought.Your fact says only 1/100th of the top 1% can afford these trucks. Do you know how much the top 1% earn? $422,000/yr. I'd double check your facts.
Quang Nguyen I didn’t say that! I said “99.99% of us can’t build one from the ground up!” Meaning out of 7.7 billion people 99.9% have no idea on how to build a truck from scratch!
Quang Nguyen read my statement more carefully next time...
Something that always irks me on these HD test drives when they comment on how smooth the ride is, they always mention the torsion bar suspension. Like it's something new on chevy trucks. Come on! They've only had torsion bar suspensions on chevy's for about 30+ years guys. And they go on about how smooth it rides empty... Well I notice that the vast majority of these road tests are done in the area of Bend, OR which if you don't know that area has some of the smoothest and best maintained highways in the entire nation (I drive hwy 97 straight through the middle of that area 2 or 3 times/year. It's one of my favorite stretches of road, rain, shine, or snow). So if you're going to demonstrate just how smooth it is empty how about throwing the wheel on the next forest service road you pass and run it down some washboard on those 10-ply tires for a couple miles? THEN I'll listen to what you have to say about smoooooth
Solid criticism. I can only speak to what I experience on the drive where I am at right then. I'll get another one this Spring and drive it on the crap roads of Nebraska then put a video up on that. And yep, you are right about the independent front suspension. My '62 has it. The reason we bring it up is for people to be aware that Chevy is the only one that offers it in the HD trucks. While many of us know this already, not everyone does and it is important, IMO, to point it out for people shopping for a new truck.
@@Pickuptrucktalk I'll concede your point regarding Chevy being the only one of the big three having torsion bar suspension in the HD version, it's a valid point. And I'll look forward to your post coming from Nebraska- I myself live 5 miles off pavement 1,300 ft above where the highway ends, so there's no avoiding washboard. 4WD certainly minimizes the drift but it's still pretty harsh. Thanks for your reply
Disagree on the key vs. pushbutton start. Give me an old-school, key required vehicle any day. Has anyone else seen the video of people stealing a car from someone's driveway by scanning for the fob code by holding a tablet or laptop up by the front of a house?
Could not agree more! That's why I bought a 2019 Tundra. 2020 went to push button start.
If someone can hack that well, they'd have zero issue with a standard key either hahaha

Like rear axle ratio?
@@Pickuptrucktalk 3.73 I believe.

My dad had his replaced in his 17, guy I work with had issues with his, my 16 seems to be working ok though.
You had a buyback over a radio?
what are the cons of the IFS?
Basically, pro is ride quality as we said. Con is often seen as strength and durability. Solid axles seem stronger to most people and they think it last longer than the IFS setup.
Some will claim the IFS isn't as durable, but Ram and Ford solid front axle trucks tend to chew up ball joints as fast or faster than heavy duty trucks with IFS. The ball joints on a solid axle get hammered due to the unsprung weight. Ram trucks are infamous for going through u-joints. Another downside of solid front axle trucks is that as the front suspension components wear, it gets loose and more vulnerable to death wobble. Like these very new F-250's, which are already having issues with death wobble...

@@Pickuptrucktalk What about the torsion bar versus coil springs? Very curious on the engineering tradeoffs too. It seems GM trucks are unique with torsion bars.
How does IFS compare to solid axle and ball joints?
JK 241 good questions. Let me work on finding an engineer to video. I’m doing a Ram and a GMC Drive in August. I’d give my two cents, but I’d rather have someone with more expertise and experience answer.
GM needs to come back with an improved 8.1L gas engine with Allison transmission. I have run 6.0 Vortecs for work trucks for years. Good, reliable trucks when empty. They are dogs when towing anything...anything. I could put a 16 ft trailer on it hauling my kids tricycle and this thing has to redline up hills here in WV. I don't want the hassle, maintenance, cost of a diesel. The 8.1 had good power/torque. Great transmissions. Retooled, it would compete with the soon to be released Ford 7.3L gas.
Probably not a bad truck overall but man this thing is ugly
GM not only builds junk, they build butt ugly junk
@@kevinsummers3067 lol you're way past delusional my friend. Mechanically they are superior to everyone since Ford had the 7.3 internationals. 9 out of 10 diesel mechanics I know will tell you that Chevy's are the last to have mechanical issues and a lot of them aren't Chevy guys. And like the gentleman said at the beginning, Chevy always grows on people over time. There's a reason they have maintained the highest resale value for over a decade now.
@@kevinsummers3067 Ram is the one specializing in building junk. The front ends of their HD's have been death wobbling, ball joint eating junk for decades.
STILLthePILLAR ][+ Seriously? So let’s ignore all the CP4 high pressure pumps that catastrophically fail and wipe out the injectors?
@@marksmith6104 Oh right the one that has destroyed just as many 6.7 Powerstrokes as it did Dmax's and is now being used on the newest version of the Cummins. Good thing GM stopped using that pos at the end of 2016 because it was such a shitty hpfp.
Chevy did a awesome job on this truck best looking truck on the market.
Autumn A seriously ????? Best looking truck. Wow you’re standards are down to earth 🌍
Tony H . Mark my words Tony just give it some time the looks will grow on you I guarantee it.
Agreed!
Every one thinks you got to have a hd to hall anything ...like their writing 1500s off like their just for hauling 2 bags of groceries...my 1500 i have hauled bobcats cars trucks what ever boats.....
Because most ford 1/2 ton frames break in half, when driving on dirt roads and hauling 2 bags of groceries.
@@bearbait2050 That's funny because I've never broken a frame on any of my F150s, no matter if I was towing a vehicle or anything else.
Yea I tow all the time with my Chevy 1500 but I am upgrading to the truck shown in the video
Its just alot easier in 2500....I could tell right away from moment I drove it down street fir first time....rather have more than enough than barely... and had barely enough plenty of times in 1/2 ton......a 1500 will not do what 2500/3500 can do period
Does Work Truck will have leather seats??
Not sure. Maybe an option.
Why the fuck would a work truck come with leather seats🤣🤣🤣 ... jhc some people.
I have leather seats in my work truck and I enjoy them they clean very well by spraying a leather cleaner on them
Does anyone haul gravel in a pickup anymore? Quarries in my area won’t even load a pickup. Besides if you could truly afford this truck you should be able to afford a dump trailer or at least hire someone with a dump truck to haul gravel.
I’m going against the grain here I absolutely love the front end OF THIS TRIM and probably just in white. The rest of the trims are ugly. I also think that bed step is genius. The absence of cup holders and USBs in the back is really crappy.
Gimme the ability to fit 35s without a lift, the ability to option for pushbutton start and LED headlights and I’ll go by one the day they land
Looks like a steamy dog turd
I’m with you I love the design
@@ramtrucks721 Yeah Ram trucks look like a steamy pile of shit these days without that crosshair grille. Built like it too.
Love the front end. idk what people are complaining about. The marker lights are up high and separate from the headlights and I really like that. It’s a big truck and very aggressive looking front end, sure to move people out in front of it. Hell of a lot more thought out and clean compared to the ram 1500 front end that looks weird and confusing like the engineers got lost with whatever they were originally thinking. The 09-18 rams were perfect! very good looking, sexy and aggressive at the same time. Now they look weak.
Apparently people recommended not having center storage? Why thats even a thing
People want a bench seat so you don't get the center storage.
@@Pickuptrucktalk every truck ever has had a folding center console with storage....
@@Thirty-OughtSick huh? That’s just not accurate.
@@Pickuptrucktalk the center armrest has no storage....
@@Thirty-OughtSick right. For 2020. Starting in 2021, Chevy added a storage option for the bench seat, middle seat when folded down.
This reviewer likes his trinkets.
This is why truck prices are going up
I want to see it with a regular cab and the shortest bed. Then it could look tough.
Mpg ?
I thought we said. We were seeing around 15 unloaded and 8-10 loaded.
Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk I don’t think you did. There really wasn’t much besides personal opinions in the vid. No real “here’s how the new engine is” info...lots of hot air!
My 2 cents... should have a lower rear end gear, ten speed, different interior and a different front end. I like what your friend said about HD customer needs but the reality is people will get these expecting them to be like Cadillacs inside... with no real towing needs. DFW area has so many people pretending they need HDs... big hat no cattle syndrome.
I live in the dfw area myself. 🙋♂️ I've pondered getting a HD truck myself in the future although I have no actual need for the extent of its capabilities. I just like a big truck with power. Practical? no. Fun? oh certainly yes. Thats my 2 cents.
Brayden Bledsoe Same, plus it’s nice knowing you got a truck that’s more capable than you need
@@Cameron_7127 For sure
This truck is one step up from the cheapest trim offered. Nobody is going to get in it expecting it to be a Cadillac.
I purposely bought my 2016 2500hd with 4:10 gears I had the motor and trans programmed to increase power and torque. I towed a little better that 4 tons of base rock in a 6x10 heavy duty dump trailer. 4 times last week in one day. 40 miles round trip. I burned less than half a tank at average 55 mph. I have no complants.
464 TQ at what RPM
4,000 RPM.
But remember that is peak. This thing probably produces 400+ at as early as 1800rpms
Jon K Heslekrants not sure about 1,800. It didn’t feel that fast off the line to me. Maybe more like 2,500-3,000. I need to do a little more digging to find torque at 95 percent. That’s usually a good indicator of real torque.
@@Pickuptrucktalk If you could that would be great. If not we will just have to wait till they hit the market and folks start dynoing them. I would be disappointed if this truck engine at 6.6L isn't producing that level of tq down low. My 2016 Camaro SS put down 380rwtq on a mustang dyno (we all know dyno jets read higher) at 2000rpm. At the flywheel that's easy 400tq already. At 2300rpm I'm putting down over 400 and it doesn't drop below 400rwtq until 5300rpm. This all from a 6.2L performance engine
@@jkheslekrants I've reached out to Chevy PR. Not sure if they publish this number, but I'll let you know when I know.
After watching this, I came away going, what!?? No cup holders or usb ports in the rear seating area? Really?
Imagine being a four-man work crew. What a pain in the butt!
I got a double cab nobody rides back there just use it for storage. I do not need that stuff
@@caseih-pz9vp If you had a crew cab adults could fit comfortably in the rear seat and you'd have people riding back there. Then, they'd want cup holders.
I ended up buying a 2020 GMC Sierra and love it!
@@RH-qk5ltI do not have a need for anyone in back seat. That what the YUKON is for. The truck is all work the double cab short bed makes it easier to get in and out tight places. It is all about what my needs are.
Lots of good features, i'll just get the non-uglified GMC version
What does GM stand for government motors.
what is the mpg
No official mpg since it is an HD truck.
@@Pickuptrucktalk what did you get pulling and not pulling
richard smith mid teens unloaded, under 10 towing.
@@Pickuptrucktalk thank you
@@Pickuptrucktalk i was hoping it would be better then the 6.0
The difference between a guy that works out of a truck and a guy that reviews work trucks lol
Front end looks like a Cleft Palate .
yeah.... i can see that. i also see a dog of somekind. like pug or english Bulldog or maybe pitbull type
This new 6.6 motor is going to have 400 hp and 450 tq. I think gm needs to work on that engine a bit more. Ford's 5.0 coyote does 395 hp and 400 torque.
Intended function. This Engine has more Tq than either the 6.2 Ford SD Gas engine or Ram 6.4 Hemi HD.
For direct truck comparison 1/2 ton Chevy to HD Chevy their Half ton 6.2L makes 420hp 460tq
The Importance of this engine is its tuned to pull were it needs it the most!!!
RPMs
I would be more curious to see what this truck is like after a real-world long-term test, see where the performance is going to be. I am thinking that the Gasoline Direct Injection is going to be a severe liability for a truck of this segment. Not only is there the ever-present issue of coking of the intake valves, but there is also potential for severe oil dilution with gasoline, given the low-speed, high load conditions that will typically be found in gasoline engines. GDI engines are horrible about fuel and air mixing whenever at low speed, high load situations because of the lack of intake air velocity and the short period of time in which fuel has to atomize after injection.
Aaaaaaand you don’t get it.
All those expensive options you don't really need also rob you of your payload as well. My LT is 3598 payload go check a high country out and come back
A 10 inch screen shouldn't cost more than $50 more. You can buy a View Sonic 22 inch touch screen for $230. The price they are selling these for should include all the bells and whistles. The brake and fuel lines will rust out in 10 years or less like all GM vehicles. If they lowered the height, they wouldn't need a step to reach into the bed. A heavy duty should have heavy duty brakes but instead they have barely adequate brakes. The "styling" is ugly and it must push a lot of air. I've wanted to replace my 99 for quite a while but all of the trucks are worthless for use as a truck. I'll just pull a trailer with an SUV.
Very, very good point about bed height. I’m 5’7” on a good day and I’ve been bitching for a while. Remember when 2wd pickups were lower? I miss those days.
11:45-13:30 that passenger def was falling asleep.........
The font look like side burns and missing front teeth
Love the upside down front end 👍🙄
I don't think I'd be able to look at this thing in the garage or driveway without throwing up a little...
I want the key myself. You want to wait in an emergency to shut off the ignition switch? Wait till someone dies in an accident cause they couldn't stop the fuel pump from pumping cause they were forced to hold the button to stop the engine while a cracked fuel line is spraying fuel on hot exhaust or leaking plug wires. And they are injured at the same time. As dumb an idea as eliminating a shift cable in favor of electric shifter. Think of Toyota and throttle actuators. If a electrical problem holds throttle open I want as much control as I already have in my Suburban. If I turn key back and it won't kill the engine cause of a short. That is when I turn the key back. I can throw it in neutral and let the engine bounce off the rev limiter. I have seen cars with a shifter stalk but appear to have no direct cable to valve body. How many people are going to die before people get smart and realize The NHTSA came up with PRND for a reason.
Lots of people were affected by the keyed ignition nightmare GM went through a few years ago as well. So, there is a counter viewpoint as well.
I am a GM brat myself and worked in a Chevy dealership to. They would shut off at inopportune times. I even did Predelivery inspect on push button start Cadillac's Or Vettes. Can't remember which it was now. I have had cable actuated carburetors Stick WOT in my life. Thank god I didn't have to wait for the PCM to decide to shut off the engine. The whole thing here is we should learn from the past. Push button start and shifting isn't a new concept. Wait till enough people die cause they can't simply turn the electrical things off. Or if there's a short from a collision you can't at least slap it into neutral cause of cable less shifting. After a throttle motor gets shorted. Not to mention no mechanical link to the parking pawl in the transmission or valve body. All I see is a repeat of Fords backing over people coming out of park. Except this time it will be an electrical issue that should of never happened. What next no steering cause it's a steer by wire. And the battery and alternator malfunctioned. Run over garbage in the road and take out something electrical to loose your throttle, steering and electric brakes to? Might as well have electric seatbelt unlocks to and kill a few people to. I'm a tech nut myself. But I'm also been a mechanic long enough to know What can go wrong most likely will. I know a lot of people don't agree with my few on the subject. But I want to die Knowing I at least had a chance to try and avoid my death.
Clint Helling I’m pretty sure that if airbags deploy, in newer trucks the fuel pump is automatically cut. Also, the engine has auto demobilization feature. Been like that for like 10 years now lol
@@Pickuptrucktalk that ignition switch debacle is evidence of the times. I have personally owned 3 vehicles tallying over 600,000miles on the "bad" Ignition switches and I never had a single issue with them.. 100% of those "affected" Can honorably be blamed on user error. Over loaded key chains, improper seating positions etc. That entire thing was ridiculous
No doubt the overloaded key chains played a role. However, there was also some negligence on GM’s part and Delphi that should have never happened. Keyless entry and push button ignition are just so convenient these days. I’m sure there will be problems with it eventually, but for now, I’m a fan. Note: that could change!
My goodness Ford has looked the SAME since 1995 lol.....
Silverado/Sierra 2500 HD, best looking by a mile...
Ford is tired a hell.....
What was the MPG?
Mid teens. We didn’t drive it enough to do a proper mpg test.
Gotta love the bitching about the G80 vs Elocker.. Id rather have a G80 than rely on the elocker components, connectors, wiring harness, fuse and relay and switch to get me out of a bind. Have a fleet of Ford HDs at work with the elockers, its all good till it doesnt work n basically you have a 2wd in 4hi. The G80 will work forever with no driver input . Keep the elocker, I doubt most will ever leave the Walmart parking lot anyways.
Exhaust brake...?? 🤔
Todd Norhton Yeah I have noticed that he gets mixed up on which engines he’s talking about a lot. He said in another video the 6.6 duramax has a timing belt. Then said it didn’t, then corrected himself and said he checked and it did. So sometimes you just have to wonder what on earth he’s talking about lol
Umm... sorry! That stuff that comes out of my mouth.
On the timing chain, it turns out I wasn’t the only one making that mistake. In the Chevy small block video, the engineer got them mixed up.
The 3.0L has a timing chain, the Duramax has a belt. Hopefully that helps clear things up.
Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk That is, once again, wrong. The 3.0 duramax has a timing chain, and a small wet belt driving the OIL PUMP only. The 6.6 Duramax has a GEAR DRIVEN TIMING SYSTEM ...I don’t understand how you get these mixed up and have seen them first hand.
@@natehawkins2910 Well crap. I wish that engineer would have cleared things up. Yes, timing gears, I can see the schematic now, as well as a serpentine belt. Thanks for commenting.
If the new 6.6 gas has an exhaust brake I’ll be ordering one in the morning
I don’t believe the gas engine has an exhaust brake. The Duramax diesel has one, but I don’t recall the gas having one.
@@Pickuptrucktalk It has a down hill assist,drops the gears. Does a good job
@@wedding6165 They’ve had a tow/haul mode for years that’s done that…c’mon now.
They need to fire the engineer who design this truck
I guess you want it even more complicated and cost more you can keep your touch button it's a work truck you don't need that shit
Man I am so glad that I am not a Chevy guy and after looking at this thing I never will be.
If Quasimodo was a pickup...
LOL
What’s the gas mileage?
Didn't really drive it long enough for a true reading. IIRC for the gas we were in the mid teens.
Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk - not bad. Getting 14 in my F250 gas ...
This will get around the same I think.
It will be really interesting to see what the fuel economy will be after 60,000 miles. I can imagine that carbon coking of the intake will be a problem in this kind of application of GDI.
The tail lights look like a super duty tail lights. I wouldn't own a GM anything they put a ton of people out of work.
Sad Ford workers pack up for expected layoffs in Dearborn
