JD. I watch your videos just about every day. But here is something I would love to see you you. You’re always talking about the fuel economy on your GMC because it’s a diesel. I agree with you that the fuel economy of a diesel is superior versus a gas engine, but, with diesel, running anywhere from $.50 to a dollar a gallon more than regular gas I would like to see you do, a video on the cost per mile instead of the miles per gallon. I had a ram 2500 with the Cummins 6.7 diesel and I would get 22 on the road and 16 to 17 around town. I sold that and purchased a 2500 gas And my fuel mileage on the highway, if I was lucky, I got 17 and in town 13 miles to the gallon. But with the price difference of diesel versus gas, I felt like I could go a lot further with the gas truck because of the lower price. And then, of course, with the diesel, you have to figure in def prices too. So once again, do a video on the cost per mile Between a diesel truck and a gas truck I think that would give a better overview than just versus miles to the gallon.
Just divide the price per gallon by optimum MPG. My locale is 3.82/gallon on diesel and 3.38/gallon on regular. 3.82/27 is $0.14 per mile vs 3.38/22 is $0.15 per mile.
I would never pay $80k for a pickup truck, we as consumers are the only ones to blame for these absolutely outrageous prices that we are now seeing for pickup trucks. I would rather drive that F250 Camper Special that is lurking in the background, I remember when pickups were just that a truck that could tow and haul your 5th wheel trailer or make runs to the dump and were relatively cheap. I don't need all the bells and whistles like Leather,50 inches of LCD Screens, power running boards, or a Panoramic Sunroof that will shatter during the first hail storm. I guess that is why to this day I still drive my 25 year old Dodge as it does everything I need and want a pickup to do.
I make dump runs in my F350 dually crew cab. It hauls my tractor and in the summer has a camper on it. Worth every dollar I paid for it. They're expensive, but with the new UAW contract and increase in raw material costs - they are not going to be getting any cheaper.
people who can't afford them always are the biggest critics... These trucks were never meant for avg earners......so saying they are too expensive is irrelevant when they were never meant for you to begin with
@@kirkdunn1379 And that’s why they are rotting on the dealers lot. Apparently no one can afford them or maybe common sense is more common than we thought. And banks will not finance them as repo’s are at an all time high. But to each their own.😊
After sitting in numerous trucks, I found the Ram Limited to be the most refined and hands down the best back seat in the business. Flat floor. Floor storage. Reclining rear seats. Ventilated and heated rear seats. Most leg rear in the business.
I've never watched such a 1 sided truck comparison video. The fact you defended the Toyota bed over the GMC bed was mind blowing. The Toyota could be worse in every way by miles and you would still say it's a better truck.
That's a tough call. If I was looking to drop 80K on a new half ton truck I would continue looking. Neither one checks all the required boxes for me, and both have some definite "likes" and "don't likes". Good video
Awesome review. In the market and its hard to find reviews that focus specifically on practical useability instead of all the asthetic differences which are neverendingly objective. Stuck with directive comparisons. Keep up the good work dont feed in to the negative nancies.
Interesting that a Denali Duramax is the better value. Toyota used to have an advantage in price but these days, GMC / Chevy is a better value. Love the diesel too! Great comparison.
Not with that new engine in the Tundra. Engines failures like crazy and corporate Toyota is telling dealers they only get a small block to rebuild the engine instead of replacing the whole thing. Real nice having a brand new truck with an engine some random dude at the dealer rebuilt with a short block. The 3.0 Dmax, particularly the LZ0 has the edge in reliability at this point.
It’s very hard for you to praise the GMC (GM in general) trucks ain’t it? Lol. I say that because of your take on the beds and especially getting in the beds. The GM trucks have the best on the market by far system with their bumper steps. You don’t even have to open the tailgate. Just use the bumper step. The bed area too with their much wider inside dimensions and all the tie downs, but bed access is something GM is way ahead on. Ford has joined them in the HD category too. I agree about the 12 volt outlets. They need to add that back for the refreshed interiors. Atleast one.
Definitely the Toyota, especially when speaking of luxury. A panoramic moonroof is a standard offering for a luxury vehicle nowadays. The tiny GMC moonroof is dated. The seats have also been terrible in GMC trucks for years. Also, the mood lighting in the Toyota is nice. It's even better than the mood lighting in the F-150. The GMC doesn't offer any mood lighting at all.
The bed is way too small in the new Tundra. Toyota shrank it vs the bed in the 2nd gen Tundra. The diesel engine in the GMC is the best half-ton engine on the market IMO. Both are nice trucks though, I just don't give a flip about "mood lighting" or moon roofs.
I've owned both and a ram limited and the choice is tough. The ram interior is second to none and the gmc powertrain is amazing. I also love the look of the tundra and its interior. Bottom line is go with the gmc simply for the duramax power and economy and it's buttery smooth 10 speed.
As a Toyata tech. The GMC. Lots of people are starting to see what techs have been saying for years. The quality has been going down to the equivalent of big three rather than exceed. People will talk about the legendary durability and that's what it is. A legend. Tell me, why are the only toyotas you heard of going over 250k, all old Toyotas? Surley by now, you would see plenty of 2012's and up still on the roads right? but you dont do you? Want to know why? I'll tell you what a yota engineer told me when I confronted him about that. We're in the business to sell cars not keep them running. Want to know Toyota's engineered super expensive part designed to fail in time past monitored metrics part? The ABS pump module. That has their CAN network terminating resister and network branches all connected to it. Yup, that little module that has rubber seals and constantly pressurizes and depressurizes with fluid is all one piece with a critical computer network component. An 800-1200 part, one hour diag, 3-4 hours to replace, got to flush the brakes, program it and it takes two techs to do. Do the math, thats roughly a 2k job on an at the time older car. These are the opinions of a tech cause i know yota is gonna read 'em. Just showing my appreciation for being told diagnostic time is built into jobs where the diag tree says check with known good part or .2 scan tool time
Not everyone wants that HD ride quality. If you need the payload capacity, yeah, definitely the HD. But if your situation works with the NHT max tow option, 30 mpg highway is the way to go.
somebody said they hated the gm tailgate. Something about it being broken and complicated internally to fix. And also that if they have the tailgate down because they are towing long things with the tailgate down then that step thing just hangs down and doesn't close shut for a flat tailgate and it can interfere while down and towing
I have a 2017 toyota Tundra, and and l like it . The only drawback with it is the toyota is only rated as a 1/2 ton , whereas the GM is available in the 1/2 ton and up and l perfer the diesels for towing .
You could also get that Denali for 10k off sticker vs the Toyota......the Ultimate is better comparison..... Ventilated rear seats is a plus but not necessary.... The Tailgate on GMC is better imo as you can access it from both sides plus the step in middle.....and use thr FOB Before you even get to the truck Had 2 tundras...I would take the 6.2 over the turbo
One thing I don't like about the Tundra interior is the center console lid. You get two skinny armrests with hard plastic in the middle. Well most peoples arms end up somewhere closer to the middle which in this case is on the hard plastic.
If you plan to keep the truck, buy the Toyota. GM’s 1/2 tons have a history of bad engines and transmissions, I suspect nothing has changed. Fuel economy might be better on the GM but diesel is $1.00 more per gallon so it doesn’t matter. GM has leaf spring so probably better for towing. GM interior is quieter and fit and finish is better but seats are uncomfortable. Toyota interior will start to rattle all over and window trim is bad. Neither truck is worth the money. Toyota has an awesome complete roll down rear window. GM has a cooler tailgate. The non air suspension Toyota rides much better. (I’ve owned both 😀)
can confirm my buddys 2015 silverado had his trans go before 100k .. He had the extended warranty or whatever and it was covered but it was close to being out of warranty. And he doesn't even hardly tow anything except small loads here and there. And it never goes offroad.
I'm sorry, but comparing Toyota with any other truck is like comparing the living conditions between Heaven & Hell. I don't own either one of these. GMC makes a quality truck, however, Toyota is the best truck that money can buy. The Tundra Capstone is definitely worth every penny.
Any truck over $50,000 is insane! If you aren't making $150,000 a year you can't really afford a $50,000 vehicle. You might be able to make the payments but you can't really afford it!
Being that you own an LT, am I correct that they don't offer the true bucket seat/center console system ?. I haven't sat in an LT to mess with the seat system ( the bench seat I am thinking of and refer to ) so is it sort of like a 40/60 % type seat system in that the drivers seat moves forward/rearward and then the center flip down and the passenger seat all move forward/rearward as a unit ?.
Ok when you want to buy just nice looking truck buy the GMC or Cadillac but for quality durability keep your value reliable truck buy a Toyota and this specific trim capstone amazing truck 🤩
You will know "luxury" when your F450 arrives. The Toyota is a bare bones truck with nice seats. It has no technology in it apart from back windows shades and ventilated rear seats. Anyone spending $80k for what really is $50k truck is "nuts"
Toyota wins in my opinion. Why well they still offer a manual transmission in the Tacoma. If you have never driven a manual then you will never understand.
Oh please. I drove manual transmissions for the first 20 years I was driving (Falcon, Mustang, Bronco, Scout, Dodge pickup, 1985 Bronco). Didn't get a vehicle with an automatic until 1983 (Suburban 2500). Would never go back to a manual transmission. Automatics today work far better than a manual unless you have a sports car toy.
@@buckhorncortez Just because something is easy doesn’t mean it’s fun. I drive a two door Wrangler manual and I can guarantee I have more fun than the guy who drives the automatic. And in today’s world a manual is theft proof. Manual car people will be better off if less know how to drive one.
Hopefully, Toyota has made larger (longer) seat cushions and raised the seats higher off the floor. The next-door neighbor owns a Toyota and let's just say the seats are designed for smaller people with shorter legs. Highly uncomfortable for me to sit in for any length of time.
Wow the interior on the tundra is absolutely hideous. I just looked at new tundras last weekend, such ugly interiors. Really unfortunate that they cant make something look more modern.
Reliability? Not that engine. Toyota's new turbo V6 loves eating those crank bearings it would seem. Amazing how many Toyota influencer channels on youtube have had their new Tundra's engine fail. And Toyota won't even replace the engine but instead cheap out and insist on a short block, so you get an engine some random dude at the dealer built using your old engine parts and a new block.
The only positive on the GMC was the gas mileage, but diesel fuel is a dollar more per gallon. So cost per mile probably still goes to the Toyota. A dollar more of fuel per gallon.
Toyota had years to listen to gripes from everyone else before releasing this new Tundra. Even with twin turbos and electric motors it cannot create the efficiency of a motor designed over 125 years ago…
They would have been further ahead if they had just updated the 5.7 to be more fuel efficient. The new twin turbo V6 is eating crank bearings and other internals like crazy.
I towed my mini ex with a Ford 3.5L for years, around 10k lbs with the trailer, and 500-600 miles a week. Sold it with 178k miles and never an issue with the powertrain. Gas milage was terrible, but company was paying for it, plus 56 cents a mile for wear and tear on my vehicle, probably assuming it was a diesel HD, but I only paid $37k for it in 2015 and had it paid off in 2 years mostly with the milage reimbursement.

Not comparing the Denali 1500 Ultimate to the Capstone skews the results.
