I'd have to disagree, atleast for the Pre-refresh models (2019-2021). Those still captured most of the key Silverado Deisgn cues. The Refreshed Silverado's however, no, they're truly ugly. Just like the current HDs.
I agree with you… the silverados w the transformer front end just looks the same up to 2022/23. Here in Canada we like the GMC and it always has more standard equipment/ a step up in design and features and has a better front end allday/everyday.
Got a gf who’s family who’s had GM whole life and agrees that the seats in the trucks are too uncomfortable AT ANY TRIM. They’re “like a rock”. The seats in the Rams at base lvl are way more comfortable. It’s sad because I love the look of the new Silverado. And the 1/2 ton Duramax has better acceleration than the Rams.
Just stumbled upon your page... you buy a new truck every year?? Can you explain the process? In my mind I would be losing tons if money in depreciation, but if there is a way to not lose $ every year, it sure would be nice to be in a new truck all the time!
You made the right choice. The refreshed Silverado is basically the exact same truck on the outside except for the HUGE design mistake of relocating the Bowtie 6 inches higher than is should be! The Refreshed Sierra actually looks a lot different than the previous model. And not to forget that GMC/Chevy are basically the same truck. Change will be a good thing.
I honestly don’t see an issue with the bowtie location. Either the old or new. Kind of prefer the newer version myself, but it’s certainly not a game changer. Simply a personal preference. What is a game changer is the new redesigned interior and small body changes. The late 22 and 23 models are a huge upgrade to the line.
Your thought about not getting a Silverado and getting a Sierra is dumb af . It’s basically the same s*** . If that would’ve been the case you should’ve gotten a ford or a different brand . Lmao
I have the lt 2022 , not even 4 k miles, At this moment it has been in service for 3 weeks due to a fuel injector, it is incredible that this is happening
I do like the new Sierra’s more than the Silverado’s. It’s something about them and I can 100% agree with you on the weird placement of the front Chevy badge. Great truck choice, I’m ready for the new content.
The taillights on the new Chevys are just so weird looking whereas the gmc taillights look good. It’s too bad gm didn’t use the same taillights for the Silverado think it would look better. The only thing weird looking on the Sierra is the odd shaped wheel wells.
@@imthesameboyiusetobe yeah it’s kinda the same situation with the 2019 Camaro’s when no one liked the front end so they changed them on the 2020 models. Hopefully the same thing happens here.
Agreed, Chevy screwed up the refreshed Silverado exterior. The 2019-2021 Silverado front ends looked perfect in my opinion. It had the classic Silverado look but in a more modern way. The refresh erased all the key Silverado design cues, like the double stacked headlights, centered bowtie, etc. It now just looks ugly. Pre-refresh, I preferred the Silverado exterior over the Sierra. But now after the Refresh, I'm going Sierra this time round.
I have the same feeling about upgrading just because the interior is different and just small details not enough to urge me to want anything newer at the moment I have a 19 high country and it's all I need at 26 this truck is already smarter than me I feel 😆
I wished I hadn't bought a 2022 LTZ battery keeps going dead Dealer cannot figure WHY still after 10 months no chip for heated steering wheel and they still keep selling new trucks minus chips.
i bought a 2019 GMC SLT, which was an upgrade from my 2009 GMC W/T, I specifically wanted the push button start and a center console with the charging pad(which i haven't used much because it is inconvient where it is). It wasn't worth the extra price i would have had to pay to get the new dashboard layout, which i really do love. As it was, I paid $5000 more than i should have, but I only had 3 trucks to choose from in a 5 state area. In a couple of years, i'll get the 2022 model. Hopefully prices will have come down by then. I won't buy anything but a GMC.
As a Ford guy, own an 18 STX 150, 5.0 V8 SC 4x4, the only good looking Chevy truck to come out in the last 5 years is the new electric one coming out later this year. That is a good looking truck!
I have a 2021 GMC AT4 fully loaded. I bought for 68K and people are begging me to buy it right now because the chips for the tech are over a year out just for what I have. GMC is charging 72K for the same truck with a "refresh" (bigger touch screen) with none of the tech I have. It's just awful.
I liked the elevation cause everything was body matched aside from the grill and other trim which I liked because I don't like chrome but the chrome on the denali ultimate looks nice for the grill anyway probably the only thing I'd leave chrome
Honestly, I think Chevy made in the interior amazing but they ruined it for me on exterior styling which does NOT include ZR2. ZR2 is the only Silverado that looks great at this point with this “refresh”.
Stoked for you to get a new truck but I will be interested to see when it shows up and how much mechanical issues you might have… same as the Trail Boss?
Agreed, Chevy really dropped the ball with the refreshed Silverado exterior. The 2019-2021 Silverado front ends looked perfect in my opinion. It had the classic Silverado look but in a more modern way. The refresh erased all the key Silverado design cues, like the double stacked headlights, centered bowtie, etc. It now just looks ugly. Pre-refresh, I preferred the Silverado exterior over the Sierra. But now after the Refresh, I'm going Sierra this time round.
I find it funny that no1 is talking bout GM bringing back the Regular cab, standard bed for the refresh. I guess they're getting ignored cause every1 dislikes the 4 banger.
Left Chevrolet in August of 20 never looked back only had one issue with coil packs other then that smooth sailing ford and Chevrolet is almost impossible to buy paying more for less not so much ford more Chevrolet on that one
Will have to see, I think the 3.42s are going to help it a lot. Biggest thing is getting this truck as soon as possible for youtube. 6.2 could have pushed it back months. I'll have had the 18 5.3 3.08 6 speed, 21 6.2 3.23 10 speed and then 22 5.3 3.42 10 speed so I think It will be interesting comparison as well.
Obviously you need a lot of Chevy learning to do buddy’. You stumbled against the wrong Chevy truck. Z71 2500 HD is on top of its game. Up there with the High Country.
Did you ever have trouble with your old Silverado’s infotainment system? My sierra’s intellilink system is very glitchy and does random things all the time. Very annoying and in need of guidance.
You seem to care more about looks than reliability. GM’s truck division has been proven to be extremely unreliable over the last 15 years, with nearly all new GM trucks being built in Mexico, where hard working folks are paid about $5.00 an hour. GM cares more about profits than good products. When I was a kid, having a Chevy or GMC truck was a big deal, 100% US made and built to last. Those days are forever gone. When Toyota offers a superior truck with bulletproof reliability, you take it. Japan
I love my 2014, I might get one of the newer refreshed models. Love the new interiors. Probably get a Silverado, but a Sierra isn’t a bad option either
I wanted the all new 2022 Silverado just for the interiors but I didn’t think it was worth the extra 14k over the 2020 model I found with the same features and Chevy certified
TRUCKS ARE WAY TOO EXPENSIVE WAY TOO WHY SPEND $90,000 ON A TRUCK NO THANK YOU ABSOLUTELY NOT THEY'RE RIPPING YOU OFF... AND STILL DOES NOT COUNTING INTEREST OR EXTENDED WARRANTIES NOW IT'S UP TO 100,000 OR MORE $500. TO $900. A MONTH PAYMENTS... ABSOLUTELY NOT..
Maybe if people would start being concerned about the quality of a vehicle rather than all the latest bells and whistles, some of the manufacturers would start making decent vehicles again; GM has their head up their "you know what"; why anyone would buy any GM vehicle with active fuel management is beyond me?
Chevy 1500 series trucks are and have been trash for more than a decade. So who cares. It is industry known that they are not as good as the HD line 2500+. That is why they are not built on the same assembly line. Gay men and soccer moms buy half tons. Real men buy 3/4 ton and 1 ton pick ups.
A new truck every three years? Is it a 100% business write off? How about you buy exactly what you want and hold onto it for more than a few years so the depreciation (other than this year, which is unusual) doesn't eat your lunch?
@@Back_door_bandit_98 nah not really. Doesn't look as clean and actually worsens aerodynamics. I have a 2011 Silverado and wouldn't trade it, even if someome offered me a newer one for free. 2018 was the last good year for GM truck designs

From the 80s till now I have seen prices climb on trucks so 40 years from now I won't be here but younger guys will be and the prices on trucks will be higher and these price now they will want back
I have a brand new 2022 Chevy Silverado had 25 miles on it I drove it home from the dealership it had an oil leak I drove straight to the dealership it's been there for a month and a half I can't get them to work on it I can't get them do anything to it the dealership won't help me Chevrolet won't help me and GM won't help me so I would suggest anybody looking for a new Chevrolet go somewhere else
i'm going to trade my 19 silverado back in for a Ram, have had too many issues to justify switching to chevy/gmc. Had to replace lifters at 12,000 and now the truck has a whining rear end and main seal leak, has 65,000 miles on it now. already showing rust perforations/pin holes on passenger cab corner, what kind of shit steel is chevy using on the sheet metal ?
I hear ya man, I have a 2020 and I got a brochure in the mail for the 2022 ZR2 and started looking into them and decided to chill and instead put a 6" lift, 35's and the Pulsar on my shit to revitalize it 🤙🏻
It goes custom, LT, RST, LTZ, then High Country. ZR2 is very new and has a waiting list. Interior is the only thing you will be looking at and enjoying so I think it’s a good jump if you need an upgrade.
I’m going from a 98 Sierra to a 22 Sierra. The difference is going to be day and night . The transmission alone will be going from a 4 speed to a 10. Are you going to keep your 06 Sierra? I will keep mine for a little while just to compare the two..
myself.....I still have my 98 Silverado Z71.... And I also have a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali......The 2017 is Nice!!!! But, I swear.........I wish they would have kept the 4 speed Trans!!! 4L60E!!!!!!! Just my opinion.
Glad you got what you wanted, no hate for that. I didn't want to wait for the 6.2l Elevation. The only AT4 I could get in my area was white or black, don't want either. I ordered a Silver ice LT2 Silverado Trail Boss 6.2l. I hope it comes with the ZR2 hood scoop, but thats a long shot. I'm going to add one later when available. I'm replacing my beloved 18 Silverado that got totaled by another driver. Used prices are ridiculous, not paying that.
I watched that whole video, expecting a Ford, Ram, or Toyota to be your next purchase. I thought that, because you "didn't want to buy the same truck with a different front end". Isn't the GMC the same exact truck with a different front end, (and wheel wells)?
You make very good points. I've been planning on buying a rst, I don't think I'll be able to with these prices, now I'm thinking the LT but still the prices are ridiculous
I have my 18 Silverado and I'd love to get a new truck but I'm not paying 90-100k CAD for the truck I want and I'm certainly not paying 70-80k for a truck I settle on.
Agree with you 100%. They ruined the front end. Last gen looks so much better. The bumper. The integrated air scoops. But I still don’t like the fact it has leaf springs on the back. And that the rear seats are so upright. Ram got both of those things right..
The days of deep discounts are done, at least for the near term future. I bought my 18 LT Z71 for $16,700 off sticker right before Christmas of 2018. Not sure I'll see those discounts again in my lifetime :D
I'm on my 4th black Z71, 94, 2003, 2007, 2018, I traded 2003 Silverado in for the new Redesigned 2007 GMC Sierra, to my surprise it had rear Drum Brakes, all the Silverado's had rear disc brakes, So I guess they were the " Professional Grade Drum Brakes" Never understood That, Don't get me wrong I like General Motor vehicles.
I’m about to finish a deal on a black 22 rst and has everything except the moon roof for 57k out the door. Invoice was 62k. My only concern is that I hope they fixed all their engine issues
I don't know about the rest of these guys but when I look at Sierra's versus Silverado I'm like six or a half-dozen Sierra's a little nicer cost a little bit more and I do like the way it looks better but basically there's not a whole lot of difference from a capability standpoint. With that Said I'm with you, I like the. Sierra better
Why is no one addressing the lifter issues trucks are having from active fuel management cutting cylinders out ?.....kinda worried buying another chevy or GMC untill it's fixed
Back in the day when trucks were more of what they represented, but today all brands are shared with other brands. For example, Chevrolet and Ford both share the same 10 speed transmission from the same company. Don't get me wrong, I've owned both brands and use to like both. This day and time it doesn't matter anymore when both makes suck anyway because with all the new features that they all have represent another company. From its stereo systems to its transmissions and to its computer technology software and so on. So to be quite frank, it doesn't make any sense to be a brand fan anymore since much of what it represents of the same of any other make. It boils down to whether or not the company backs its product when something goes wrong. In my experience, GM doesn't do that all to well. It's a shame to spend this much money for a product that becomes so problematic and worthless because with all this new technology increases cost and many of these companies are going to try to pinch their way out to reduce that cost.
I factory ordered my 2014. I still have the truck and use it every day and it now has over 100,000 miles. I keep it spotless inside and out the best that I can and follow all required maintenance and more. I really don't see the point in purchasing a new vehicle every couple of years since you are only making other people money and not saving it for yourself, but hey! It is your cash so you obviously can do with it as you please. I like to make a new vehicle payment to myself every month and keep storing it in my bank account, then when it comes time to purchase a new truck, I just factory order exactly what I want and pay cash for it. That is the cheapest way and you will get exactly what you want in what color that you want. Just throwing some free advice out. Do with it what you will.
My torque converter just blew up on my ‘14 that I have meticulously maintained. Turns out it’s a thing with 14 through 17, and even 8 speed 18 to 20 or so. I’m probably just gonna fix it and keep it another couple years to see how well the new style shake out. Gotta say, I do really dig the new interior.
@@riccun I have heard about that disaster. Not sure if I should just take mine in and have a new non OEM torque converter installed. I cannot believe that these would be a problem, it is not like they are new technology.
I think this engine and trans would go good in my 03 envoy :) that’s a hell of a combo and with my truck weighing maybe 4300 lbs it would be sick for fuel mileage
I love my 2022 Silverado!
Keep telling yourself that
They're all ugly IMO. Will never own one. 2018 was the last year of good looking Silverados
100% agree. Love my 2011 and would never trade it for these newer ones
Love my 2014.
Most definitely
I'd have to disagree, atleast for the Pre-refresh models (2019-2021). Those still captured most of the key Silverado Deisgn cues. The Refreshed Silverado's however, no, they're truly ugly. Just like the current HDs.
Why I’m not buying a 2022 Silverado? 70,000 reasons.
I'm going to keep my 2021 silverado for the reason of I like that truck and don't need a fancy interior
I agree with you… the silverados w the transformer front end just looks the same up to 2022/23. Here in Canada we like the GMC and it always has more standard equipment/ a step up in design and features and has a better front end allday/everyday.
Got a gf who’s family who’s had GM whole life and agrees that the seats in the trucks are too uncomfortable AT ANY TRIM. They’re “like a rock”. The seats in the Rams at base lvl are way more comfortable. It’s sad because I love the look of the new Silverado. And the 1/2 ton Duramax has better acceleration than the Rams.

2:15… anyone else notice that absolutely gorgeous corvette in the background 🤤
Prices are wack, my 2015 2lt Texas edition was 40k sticker price, now you can nearly get a base model for that
I’m not doing it because the dealership wants 5000 over msrp for low stock tax

I’m buying that Silverado 100 percent it’s so nice 😍 hey everyone has different opinion
I bought a 18 sliverado got great deal on a 40 k mile truck
I got a 2015 Silverado and looking into something new. The bowtie on the news ones look hideous. My next one with either be ford or gmc at4
I currently own an 01 f-150, very similar to Larry with the 5.4 triton. Honestly it’s been great watching through all your vids
I have a 2015 Silverado and I’m Definitely going to order a 22 Sierra
With $5 gas around the corner you might be glad you didn't get the 6.2
We will vote Brandon out soon!
@Ed G if ever there was a clown that needed to be impeached, everything he touches turns to sh!t.
Stoked for you to get a new truck but I will be interested to see when it shows up and how much mechanical issues you might have… same as the Trail Boss?

Back in the day bout the only difference between chevy n gmc was the grill n tailgate. Least you stayed with gm.
Great choice I currently got a custom right now but I’m trading it for a GMC elevation with the new interior
Makes sense
Looks r great but how bout the bad trans what changed…?….
My 10 speed was perfect
How do you feel about going from the 5.3 to the 6.2 back to the 5.3?
That’s one thing, I probably couldn’t do
Will have to see, I think the 3.42s are going to help it a lot. Biggest thing is getting this truck as soon as possible for youtube. 6.2 could have pushed it back months. I'll have had the 18 5.3 3.08 6 speed, 21 6.2 3.23 10 speed and then 22 5.3 3.42 10 speed so I think It will be interesting comparison as well.
Why are there no pictures of the LT trail boss? Only ever saw pics of the custom trail boss.
Looks like you doing your video from a Cateye. Let's hear more about that one.
Can wait to see the new truck

Sound system sucks. And there's no update. So they said they cant fix it because of software anomaly.
Did they fix the lifter problem with the Chevy in 2022?

Still WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!!! Who can afford these? Lawyers, Doctors, Contractors? My brand new 1995 Chevy Silverado was $26,000.
This is one of the ugliest trucks I’ve ever laid my eyes on
I hope they make the seats more comfortable. I have a 2020 Silverado and they are stiff and small compared to Ford and Ram.

Team Sierra for the win

@lmfscrew I know you aren't biased towards a specific brand, but what brand of truck is your favorite?
or favorite make and model
Silverado is probably my overall favorite I like pretty much all year models
Reason 1- it's ugly. Enough said. Good enough reason
When they fix all the cheap garbage problems I'll buy one till then they're not worth anything stop buying gm
1) It's hideous
2) It's grossly overpriced
3) Refer to number one
Idk why chevy guys are complaining. Same truck, different logo. One has 3 letters, the other a stretched out swiss cross
i'm going to trade my 19 silverado back in for a Ram, have had too many issues to justify switching to chevy/gmc. Had to replace lifters at 12,000 and now the truck has a whining rear end and main seal leak, has 65,000 miles on it now. already showing rust perforations/pin holes on passenger cab corner, what kind of shit steel is chevy using on the sheet metal ?
I hear ya man, I have a 2020 and I got a brochure in the mail for the 2022 ZR2 and started looking into them and decided to chill and instead put a 6" lift, 35's and the Pulsar on my shit to revitalize it 🤙🏻
Dude.... you are getting one anyway. Its the same but with different lights.
It goes custom, LT, RST, LTZ, then High Country. ZR2 is very new and has a waiting list. Interior is the only thing you will be looking at and enjoying so I think it’s a good jump if you need an upgrade.
man you should get a square body and build it
I’m going from a 98 Sierra to a 22 Sierra. The difference is going to be day and night . The transmission alone will be going from a 4 speed to a 10. Are you going to keep your 06 Sierra? I will keep mine for a little while just to compare the two..
He said he’s keeping it forever like larry
Don't buy a new one you'll regret it!
You're going to legit love the new truck man, congrats. Yes I am keeping the 06 for sure I love it.
myself.....I still have my 98 Silverado Z71.... And I also have a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali......The 2017 is Nice!!!! But, I swear.........I wish they would have kept the 4 speed Trans!!! 4L60E!!!!!!! Just my opinion.
Glad you got what you wanted, no hate for that.
I didn't want to wait for the 6.2l Elevation. The only AT4 I could get in my area was white or black, don't want either. I ordered a Silver ice LT2 Silverado Trail Boss 6.2l. I hope it comes with the ZR2 hood scoop, but thats a long shot. I'm going to add one later when available. I'm replacing my beloved 18 Silverado that got totaled by another driver. Used prices are ridiculous, not paying that.
I’ve been a Chevy man for 50 years. But I can’t stand the Active Fuel Management. Chevy really screwed up 🆙 with it.
I watched that whole video, expecting a Ford, Ram, or Toyota to be your next purchase. I thought that, because you "didn't want to buy the same truck with a different front end". Isn't the GMC the same exact truck with a different front end, (and wheel wells)?
gmc and chevy are the same
You make very good points. I've been planning on buying a rst, I don't think I'll be able to with these prices, now I'm thinking the LT but still the prices are ridiculous
I have my 18 Silverado and I'd love to get a new truck but I'm not paying 90-100k CAD for the truck I want and I'm certainly not paying 70-80k for a truck I settle on.
I think we got your point the first time - but lets hear it again……and again…..and again….and again…..and….
Agree with you 100%. They ruined the front end. Last gen looks so much better. The bumper. The integrated air scoops. But I still don’t like the fact it has leaf springs on the back. And that the rear seats are so upright. Ram got both of those things right..
Transmission problems and they know it
Chevy employees are paid the same wages as TacoBell
The days of deep discounts are done, at least for the near term future. I bought my 18 LT Z71 for $16,700 off sticker right before Christmas of 2018. Not sure I'll see those discounts again in my lifetime :D
I'm excited to see the new Sierra and what you come up with to do to it. Long time GMC guy right here, still rocking the 2008. Til the wheels fall off
I'm on my 4th black Z71, 94, 2003, 2007, 2018, I traded 2003 Silverado in for the new Redesigned 2007 GMC Sierra, to my surprise it had rear Drum Brakes, all the Silverado's had rear disc brakes, So I guess they were the " Professional Grade Drum Brakes" Never understood That, Don't get me wrong I like General Motor vehicles.
The problems you experienced with your 6.2l convinced me not to buy a new Suburban. I am going to look for a Suburban from between 1989 and 2004.
I’m about to finish a deal on a black 22 rst and has everything except the moon roof for 57k out the door. Invoice was 62k. My only concern is that I hope they fixed all their engine issues
I don't know about the rest of these guys but when I look at Sierra's versus Silverado I'm like six or a half-dozen Sierra's a little nicer cost a little bit more and I do like the way it looks better but basically there's not a whole lot of difference from a capability standpoint. With that Said I'm with you, I like the. Sierra better
Why is no one addressing the lifter issues trucks are having from active fuel management cutting cylinders out ?.....kinda worried buying another chevy or GMC untill it's fixed
This guy knows nothing 😂
High Country and ZR2 the ones that stood out to me. In the end went with a ZR2 Silverado in Glacier Blue
That is a nice truck !
I looked at one as well , just too pricey on Canada, that's a 100 000 truck with taxes
Glad you are sticking with GM.
Back in the day when trucks were more of what they represented, but today all brands are shared with other brands. For example, Chevrolet and Ford both share the same 10 speed transmission from the same company. Don't get me wrong, I've owned both brands and use to like both. This day and time it doesn't matter anymore when both makes suck anyway because with all the new features that they all have represent another company. From its stereo systems to its transmissions and to its computer technology software and so on. So to be quite frank, it doesn't make any sense to be a brand fan anymore since much of what it represents of the same of any other make. It boils down to whether or not the company backs its product when something goes wrong. In my experience, GM doesn't do that all to well. It's a shame to spend this much money for a product that becomes so problematic and worthless because with all this new technology increases cost and many of these companies are going to try to pinch their way out to reduce that cost.
I factory ordered my 2014. I still have the truck and use it every day and it now has over 100,000 miles. I keep it spotless inside and out the best that I can and follow all required maintenance and more. I really don't see the point in purchasing a new vehicle every couple of years since you are only making other people money and not saving it for yourself, but hey! It is your cash so you obviously can do with it as you please. I like to make a new vehicle payment to myself every month and keep storing it in my bank account, then when it comes time to purchase a new truck, I just factory order exactly what I want and pay cash for it. That is the cheapest way and you will get exactly what you want in what color that you want.
Just throwing some free advice out. Do with it what you will.
My torque converter just blew up on my ‘14 that I have meticulously maintained. Turns out it’s a thing with 14 through 17, and even 8 speed 18 to 20 or so. I’m probably just gonna fix it and keep it another couple years to see how well the new style shake out. Gotta say, I do really dig the new interior.
@@riccun I have heard about that disaster. Not sure if I should just take mine in and have a new non OEM torque converter installed. I cannot believe that these would be a problem, it is not like they are new technology.
@@g.k.1669 supposedly a billet torque converter is the way to go
I think this engine and trans would go good in my 03 envoy :) that’s a hell of a combo and with my truck weighing maybe 4300 lbs it would be sick for fuel mileage
