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 🤙🏻
I just bought the 2022 Silverado with the RST package with the Z71 Off Road package as well. I personally like how the truck looks and mine has fog lights on it. This is a huge improvement over my 1998 F150 and 2002 Suburban.
I think you made the best decision. It's gonna be something fresh for the channel I don't see too many people on TH-cam doing a Sierra build, mostly just the Silverado.
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..
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.
Thanks for the Pulsar LT install video. Since then, I have no reoccuring issues with the transmission, MPG went up by 2, transmission line pressure has risen which has since prevented sudden jerking when taking off from a dead stop. My'19 has over 1800 engine hours and just under 60k miles. Thanks alot!!
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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 never understand why people change trucks every year or 2 before they are even paid off. As far as the new prices and trim levels. I buy 2-3 year old trucks that are premium trim levels for half of the new price... I'm also a gm guy for most of my life but they are lacking in certain departments. I just got a 19 f150 platinum and that 3.5 ecoboost and the interior vibe and insane power and tuning ability as well as fuel mileage sold it for me. Hope you get it worked out man. Id keep the truck you have for a while its sharp. Your correct, it's just not worth it.
Agreed. Up until a few years ago, I would always purchased a new vehicle every 3-ish years, but I bought my current vehicle certified preowned with 60,000 miles on it and saved 50% compared to MSRP. Sure, there's nothing like It's a brand new vehicle that you know is pristine and hasn't been abused, and you can order exactly the way you want it, but it's also a great feeling saving $1000s when buying used. I will probably wait and buy a CPO refreshed 2022 Silverado or Sierra in 2-3 years and pay cash for it. Even buying used, I still prefer CPO for the warranty.
@@Hunterworks You're talking about maybe 10% of people. The rest are living outside their means, up to their necks in debt trying to keep up with everyone else who's doing the same thing. Americans love spending money they don't have on sh*t they don't need.
@@dlg5485 Yep, this was my program as well until things went wonky. I read the tea leaves a year ago and saw where the economy was going. Bought in early-ish 21 while GM was still offering rebates. Love the truck and what I paid for it. I expect she'll be around for a while. That said, time will tell, but you might be better off buying new...assuming used car prices remain at the insane levels they're currently at. Given what vehicles cost these days, it's (literally) worth a couple grand (in peace of mind) to know your new/new to you purchase wasn't hooned to the max.
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 feel ya. I just bought a 2022 GMC Denali Carbon Pro Limited optioned out to the max. The 2022 Refreshed Denali Ultimate will be in the low to mid 80s, while mine was 73k.
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 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.
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 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 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.
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 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 have a 2020 RST and the new interior for the 2023 / ZR2 is really nice. I'm on the fence but I am actually leaning towards the ZR2 obviously I would get it wrapped black and as far as other people mentioning lifter issues - there's no way they haven't fixed/revised that issue especially in newer built engines so that's the least of my worries especially with a warranty.
Unfortunately working in the service lane, we see plenty of 2022 vehicles still coming in with lifter issues ranging from 4k-15k miles when the lifters fail.
@@Flap300 yeah I experienced it last week with my 2019 Denali Pickup with only 16k miles I'm getting rid of it soon but I don't know what to get next smh
@@Flap300 I know gm has an option now to where you can buy a 5.3L without afm in the 2023 models what is your experience with that is there still lifter problems?
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.
Going from a 2006 single cab silverado to 22 refresh Trailboss.. Definitely gonna be a big change for me . Can’t wait for mine to be built and delivered.
And I don't think GM has ever really admitted there is a problem (just like with the 8 speeds). That's what ticks me off more than anything. They'll beat around the bush with the service bulletins and wait for people to bring it in under warranty. Then, they'll replace one side, and 3 weeks later the truck is back in the shop for the other side. I can't think of anything more infuriating than dropping 60 grand on a Trail Boss and having to deal with that crap and the dealer and the back and forth to get it fixed. How about taking a long trip after that? Would you really trust it? It's OK to have problems- just FIX them and make sure they don't happen again with the new models. How many YEARS now has GM had these issues? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I read somewhere that 2007 is the year they started having problems. I agree with RL- I don't care if the screen is bigger and it has an electric ashtray on the LTZ trim level- FIX the problems!
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?
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
I think your GMC choice is good. I just got the 22 Sierra 1500 Elevation. The asthetics are great, The black 20' wheels on a silver truck make it. Your 21 was a good looker too.
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 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 just found this channel. OMG, dead on dude. the prices of these trucks are off the charts. the dealerships are not taking into account, the wives, house notes, kids, food.
The dealers don’t care about your expenses 🤦🏻♀️ I’m 35 RN and have kids n single mom I paid my Truck cash $70,000 what’s your excuse? U people spend on bullshit trips n RVs n Razors 😂
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
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!
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.
I ordered a 2022 trail boss back in October. Just took delivery of it February 7. January 3 my local dealer calls and says do I want to hold off and wait for the refresh. After looking at photos of it from the inside and out I said hell no. Because I got mine almost stripped it’s the custom with the 6.2 and remote start that’s about the only options on it. Never liked bucket seats, I like my bench seat with a flip up console because there’s a lot more room on the transmission hump. In short I’m glad I did not get that refresh model. But I do run a small little oil field company and we did order for work trucks like your first photo regular cab long bed they will be coming with the 5.3. They said the delivery date should be around the middle of April. We ordered them 1 January. I love this new 2022 classic trail boss that I have. With the big motor and remote start its stickered for 50,455 and the dealer took 2500 off of that, plus $500 off Farm Bureau, plus $500 off a first responder for a total of $3500 off of that sticker.
My coworker has a 2018 LTZ Silverado. The dealership where he brought it from offered him 6k more than he paid for it when he brought it in for an oil change. He didn't sell tho, because it's almost paid for. And buying a new one is a headache nowadays.
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 just got rid of my 2018. Traded it in for a 2022 Silverado refresh RST. The interior is sweet. The 10speed transmission is nice. Downfall is how GM is breaking down packages to get what you want. That makes me angry. Stuff that was standard before now has to be paid for on top of the base model. The custom is garbagio.. unless used for a work truck
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 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 like the RST....Look at the front end....the thin white strip just under the front hood lip, and the Bowtie and the thicker white piece thats almost center grill, touching the bottom of the bowtie....Paint or wrap these 3 things in black to match the grill....i think this would look 100% better. I'd like to see someone do this on the internet, to see how it looks. Just to be sure.
I like the depth you go into I have a 2007 Avalanche 109. 000 miles so it's time for a new truck I think the GMC is better still have not decided between the X for off road stuff locking diff's. or Denali base and just like you say the list price is hard to swallow with no discounts.
Hi I have 2022 Silverado trial boss at 17500 miles transmission just broke...... Now 5 weeks until get new transmission by the dealer. Very frustrating i love the truck.
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..
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”.
The 19s, in my opinion screwed the look of the always good looking Chevy truck. I prefer the style of the F150 and am a Ford truck fan. The Chevy/GMC trucks have always looked really nice but they screwed up the basic look of the Silverado/ Sierra so much for 19 that such small changes just don't correct it at all. Still the same weird sides and it's just ashamed they screwed up such a good looking truck( Was good looking until 19). Add in a reliability rating by JDPOWER of a 1 out of 5 stars makes you wonder what GM is using for parts. Sad sad sad 😔. With that low of reliability , I guess all the windows are well made.
Honestly I would rather buy a Ram,Nissan or Toyota before I ever considered anything new from GM...Mainly because of GM selling customers incomplete vehicles with certain features disabled and then telling customers to bring them back in at an uncertain time for the features to be added in whenever that may be..basically driving an incomplete vehicle for who knows how long and having to do without while the other major brands has all features already installed and no bringing them back to be added later..also GM has a bad track record with vehicles breaking down and having repair issues is another reason why I would stay away from anything new from GM..new 2021 models maybe but 2022 not unless I get the features I want without having to wait for an uncertain time..I do like the new interior..it is kinda like a Cadillac Escalade without the Cadillac pricing.
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.
Has GM finally resolved the problems with eight speed transmissions? My 2020 RST had to go back to the dealer after driving it home because of erratic shifting.
@@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

They should have kept the front end the same and just updated the interior on the Silverado. I agree the refresh is a step back, the bowtie needs to be in the middle and that filler piece under the hood looks like an afterthought, the lights looked much better tight to the hood not moved down with a piece of plastic to fill in the gap.

I have the 21 model Sierra. If I ever buy another it’ll be the refresh Sierra as well. I don’t like the refresh Silverado look at all. The one before the refresh I loved the look, but couldn’t find an Ltz when I was on the market and found an SLT so I went with it.

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
Still driving My 1999 Ford F-150,not planning on buying a new truck at a house price anytime soon.

That said, time will tell, but you might be better off buying new...assuming used car prices remain at the insane levels they're currently at. Given what vehicles cost these days, it's (literally) worth a couple grand (in peace of mind) to know your new/new to you purchase wasn't hooned to the max.
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.
I feel ya. I just bought a 2022 GMC Denali Carbon Pro Limited optioned out to the max. The 2022 Refreshed Denali Ultimate will be in the low to mid 80s, while mine was 73k.
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.
Chevy employees are paid the same wages as TacoBell
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
Now...3 months...
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.
Thanks Nick!
@@lmfscrew no problem!
@@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.
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 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 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.
As a Sierra owner I’m here for it.
Excited to see the new truck keep up the good work
Sierra definitely the way to go
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.
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 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 have a 2020 RST and the new interior for the 2023 / ZR2 is really nice. I'm on the fence but I am actually leaning towards the ZR2 obviously I would get it wrapped black and as far as other people mentioning lifter issues - there's no way they haven't fixed/revised that issue especially in newer built engines so that's the least of my worries especially with a warranty.
Unfortunately working in the service lane, we see plenty of 2022 vehicles still coming in with lifter issues ranging from 4k-15k miles when the lifters fail.
@@Flap300 yeah I experienced it last week with my 2019 Denali Pickup with only 16k miles I'm getting rid of it soon but I don't know what to get next smh
@@Flap300 I know gm has an option now to where you can buy a 5.3L without afm in the 2023 models what is your experience with that is there still lifter problems?
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.
Going from a 2006 single cab silverado to 22 refresh Trailboss.. Definitely gonna be a big change for me . Can’t wait for mine to be built and delivered.
Man you're going to love it
@@lmfscrew Thank you, I think I will.. I’ve been holding out to get a new truck until the refresh was revealed.. Like some, I want that new interior.
@@wadegardner266so how has it been going ?
Screw the interior, don’t know why anyone would buy a new GM right now until they fix the lifter issues and other qc issues they’ve recently had.
New GM engines got a refresh and deleted all the bs variable valve lifter bullshit?
@@panthermartin7784 same basic system, it’s called DOD and now takes it down to 2 cylinders
And I don't think GM has ever really admitted there is a problem (just like with the 8 speeds). That's what ticks me off more than anything. They'll beat around the bush with the service bulletins and wait for people to bring it in under warranty. Then, they'll replace one side, and 3 weeks later the truck is back in the shop for the other side. I can't think of anything more infuriating than dropping 60 grand on a Trail Boss and having to deal with that crap and the dealer and the back and forth to get it fixed. How about taking a long trip after that? Would you really trust it? It's OK to have problems- just FIX them and make sure they don't happen again with the new models. How many YEARS now has GM had these issues? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I read somewhere that 2007 is the year they started having problems. I agree with RL- I don't care if the screen is bigger and it has an electric ashtray on the LTZ trim level- FIX the problems!
@@jgriffin9952 and now there’s a class action suit concerning the lifter issue
GM has lied for years on any and all problems on all their vehicles until a recall has to be made.
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?
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
yep im a chevy and ford fan! my dad owns a 1969 z/28 camaro and a 1969 ss camaro convertible
I think your GMC choice is good. I just got the 22 Sierra 1500 Elevation. The asthetics are great, The black 20' wheels on a silver truck make it. Your 21 was a good looker too.
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 think you made the right move tbh 💪🏽
I’m buying that Silverado 100 percent it’s so nice 😍 hey everyone has different opinion
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 have the same dilemma I have a 2020 at4 with very low mileage..i like the new interior but not worth upgrading yet ..
I just found this channel. OMG, dead on dude. the prices of these trucks are off the charts. the dealerships are not taking into account, the wives, house notes, kids, food.
The dealers don’t care about your expenses 🤦🏻♀️ I’m 35 RN and have kids n single mom I paid my Truck cash $70,000 what’s your excuse? U people spend on bullshit trips n RVs n Razors 😂
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
1) It's hideous
2) It's grossly overpriced
3) Refer to number one
The interior is awesome and the exterior is beautiful 🇺🇸💪
Idk why chevy guys are complaining. Same truck, different logo. One has 3 letters, the other a stretched out swiss cross
I think it was a great choice going with the GMC. Can't wait to see the content!
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!
Former Silverado guy, bought a ‘21 GMC love it.
You make a very good point. Thanks for the video and information.
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.
I ordered a 2022 trail boss back in October. Just took delivery of it February 7.
January 3 my local dealer calls and says do I want to hold off and wait for the refresh. After looking at photos of it from the inside and out I said hell no.
Because I got mine almost stripped it’s the custom with the 6.2 and remote start that’s about the only options on it.
Never liked bucket seats, I like my bench seat with a flip up console because there’s a lot more room on the transmission hump.
In short I’m glad I did not get that refresh model.
But I do run a small little oil field company and we did order for work trucks like your first photo regular cab long bed they will be coming with the 5.3. They said the delivery date should be around the middle of April. We ordered them 1 January.
I love this new 2022 classic trail boss that I have. With the big motor and remote start its stickered for 50,455 and the dealer took 2500 off of that, plus $500 off Farm Bureau, plus $500 off a first responder for a total of $3500 off of that sticker.
My coworker has a 2018 LTZ Silverado. The dealership where he brought it from offered him 6k more than he paid for it when he brought it in for an oil change. He didn't sell tho, because it's almost paid for. And buying a new one is a headache nowadays.
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 😆
Transmission problems and they know it
@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
Still WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!!! Who can afford these? Lawyers, Doctors, Contractors? My brand new 1995 Chevy Silverado was $26,000.
I just got rid of my 2018. Traded it in for a 2022 Silverado refresh RST. The interior is sweet. The 10speed transmission is nice. Downfall is how GM is breaking down packages to get what you want. That makes me angry. Stuff that was standard before now has to be paid for on top of the base model. The custom is garbagio.. unless used for a work truck
Oh Glacier Blue Metallic. And in the end I got $10k off. Someone made a wrong number punch.
I’ve been a Chevy man for 50 years. But I can’t stand the Active Fuel Management. Chevy really screwed up 🆙 with it.
That front end of the newer Silverado looks awful. Looking forward to that gmc man!

The Denali ultimate looks crazy 🔥🔥🔥
I like the chevys even the hd idk why people don’t like it but it’s your opinion
They took the sideburns away but ruined the bow tie.dumb.
Front end looks terrible? Think you mean Tundra, buddy....
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 think i’m just gonna keep my 01 tacoma new truck prices are just so high rn
I like the RST....Look at the front end....the thin white strip just under the front hood lip, and the Bowtie and the thicker white piece thats almost center grill, touching the bottom of the bowtie....Paint or wrap these 3 things in black to match the grill....i think this would look 100% better. I'd like to see someone do this on the internet, to see how it looks. Just to be sure.
I've been a Chevy guy since I was a kid but with the latest models I have been leaning towards the GMC I just think they look better
I like the depth you go into I have a 2007 Avalanche 109. 000 miles so it's time for a new truck I think the GMC is better still have not decided
between the X for off road stuff locking diff's. or Denali base and just like you say the list price is hard to swallow with no discounts.
Silverado are awesome what a great truck 🇺🇸💪
Prices are wack, my 2015 2lt Texas edition was 40k sticker price, now you can nearly get a base model for that
Yeah, prices are up but the trade-in values are sky high right now. It all equals out.
Hi
I have 2022 Silverado trial boss at 17500 miles transmission just broke......
Now 5 weeks until get new transmission by the dealer.
Very frustrating i love the truck.
The new interior is much better than last years, it is not even close.
Hate what they did with the cup holders in the refresh. Two 44 oz drinks barely fit next to each other in the new one. Details matter.
2- 44oz drinks? Good lord son, you’ll have to stop every 1/2 hr to piss. 🤪
Dude.... you are getting one anyway. Its the same but with different lights.
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..
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”.
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
My pops got a GMC and it's a nice truck
The 19s, in my opinion screwed the look of the always good looking Chevy truck. I prefer the style of the F150 and am a Ford truck fan. The Chevy/GMC trucks have always looked really nice but they screwed up the basic look of the Silverado/ Sierra so much for 19 that such small changes just don't correct it at all. Still the same weird sides and it's just ashamed they screwed up such a good looking truck( Was good looking until 19). Add in a reliability rating by JDPOWER of a 1 out of 5 stars makes you wonder what GM is using for parts. Sad sad sad 😔. With that low of reliability , I guess all the windows are well made.
Honestly I would rather buy a Ram,Nissan or Toyota before I ever considered anything new from GM...Mainly because of GM selling customers incomplete vehicles with certain features disabled and then telling customers to bring them back in at an uncertain time for the features to be added in whenever that may be..basically driving an incomplete vehicle for who knows how long and having to do without while the other major brands has all features already installed and no bringing them back to be added later..also GM has a bad track record with vehicles breaking down and having repair issues is another reason why I would stay away from anything new from GM..new 2021 models maybe but 2022 not unless I get the features I want without having to wait for an uncertain time..I do like the new interior..it is kinda like a Cadillac Escalade without the Cadillac pricing.
I agree with your reasoning I just hope you don't get a crappy build. GMC has more problems from what I've heard.
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.
2:15… anyone else notice that absolutely gorgeous corvette in the background 🤤
Has GM finally resolved the problems with eight speed transmissions? My 2020 RST had to go back to the dealer after driving it home because of erratic shifting.
Just bought an 03 sierra not running for $800
Ended up needing a starter and a battery drives pretty dang good
New chevys look ugly. Big grill trend needs to go.
Big grill trend is cool makes the truck look beefy at least on the 2500s and up
@@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

Completely agree that new grill is super ugly. Don't like how they pushed everything up.
They should have kept the front end the same and just updated the interior on the Silverado. I agree the refresh is a step back, the bowtie needs to be in the middle and that filler piece under the hood looks like an afterthought, the lights looked much better tight to the hood not moved down with a piece of plastic to fill in the gap.

I have the 21 model Sierra. If I ever buy another it’ll be the refresh Sierra as well. I don’t like the refresh Silverado look at all. The one before the refresh I loved the look, but couldn’t find an Ltz when I was on the market and found an SLT so I went with it.
Agree that the bowtie placement is goofy as heck.
I have a 2015 Silverado and I’m Definitely going to order a 22 Sierra
