People don’t understand how beastly this truck is such an underrated truck. The performance of this truck is amazing I own a duramax engine and I love how awesome is on saving gas and performance. Anyone saying otherwise never has owned any of the new duramax engine. I own a 2022 limited all star edition and I would’ve loved bought this truck but at that time ZR2 diesel wasn’t a thing. However, I will get this truck in the near future because I love everything about it.
Your gas savings cannot make up for the additional money that you pay for the diesel engine in decades
You wont love it once you have to take it to get serviced
@@mickey4726 Totally depends on location and current prices. Diesel "WAS" cheaper than gas in my location. Not currently, but I am sure it will even back out...
@@mickey4726nobody compares about the savings compared to let’s say a, Tacoma. This is when compared to a similar sized truck.
I’m claiming it now too 🥳
35's would look more proportional but this Duramax 6-inline is best in class. The white and black color scheme looks extra sharp. Great review!
Just threw some 35s on mine! Looks so much better. A few videos on my channel if you’d like to see. 👍
Thanks
@@UntamedMotors Any rubbing?
@@dantimber only slight rubbing at full lock when reversing. Not bad at all.
Bra…it needs 37s. 35s too small
Am a Ford f150 fan but this now is my fav all coz of the Duramax engine.in trucks(coz they ain't sports cars) i prefer diesel powertrains.thanks Chevy🎉
Best car rewiewer on youtube 😊
Hardest working reviewer too!
AGREED!!!!@@dantimber
Those mountains in the background are really nice!
Thanks for the clarification! There’s so much negative comments on the Silverados that I think I am going to buy another f150
I’ve been a ford guy for long time but I’m REALLY digging this ZR2 duramax might just get one.
I prefer the HD with the updated headlights. Zr2 bison.
That engine startup sound was weird - sounded like a busted flywheel LOL
I'm a sucker for Chevy and AEV, so I Fn love this. To be honest, I think this is the first year the colorado looks nicer than the silverado. Wish they kept the design language more similar for the Silverado..
I don’t care about saving gas, only care about power torque, and technology. And sound.
My only issue is the towing capacity. For a duramax eight thousand pounds is not good. Very nice track, can literally go anywhere and looks muscular.
I'm a chevy guy and curious about these new 1500 trucks but want to see how the baby duramax holds up over the long haul before committing to it. I do love the mileage numbers it puts up even though diesel is more expensive than regular pump... I only run 93 anyway so it's somewhat of a moot point for me. It's also curious that chevy is upcharging for the 6.2v8 on the current online configurator... odd.
Currently, my loaded '16 LTZ on Kings and 35's with the 6.2 V8 is still running extremely strong at 163k's!
after watching the video. I really wish the LTZ/High Country would make a baby with the ZR2. The creature comforts are extremely nice on long trips and long hours in the cab but the ZR2 hardware should be able to be options on the LTZ/High Country. I'd throw my money at them if they'd figure that out.
Crazy price $81,500
No where near as crazy. As 130k for a raptor or even more for r. It barely out performs this vehicle off road. However this is a commercial work vehicle. When Ford and trx are not. It can tow 16,000 lbs. Meaning it can get some midsized tractor trailers out the mud.
Beautiful truck. Wish I could afford this.
Beautiful truck but these prices are getting out of control. And will only get worst because of the new uaw agreement. Sad
Yeah….. why should the workers get paid?
Also, hate to shatter your world view, but the new contract isn’t going to change costs thst much
I won’t put it past them upping the costs and blaming the UAW, but labor costs are like 5-6% of the total vehicle cost
@@lordrayden3045 You are correct. You must be an investor as this is overlooked by many commentators. A large problem with GM (and Ford) are their EV vehicles sales/cost/production issues. ICE vehicles make all the profits for both. EDIT: I'm not saying the ICE trucks aren't expensive. They are but they sell.
Every part on the vehicle cost more for materials and to build. Plus all employees got a raise, utility bills to operate the manufacturing has tripled in past couple years. Soon taxes will go up and prices will go higher.
Ugh…..that payload. I guess that boron steel armor really adds up
I like everything about this except that they moved the bow tie to the top of the grill.
Does Ben remind anyone else of the "Micro Machines" guy from the 80s. Dude can talk fast!
82k wth , I thought it would be around 50k. Just wait these will get discounted quick. I would take a raptor or TRX anyday over this. Chevy should focus on price if they want to move these.
They do have lower level trim trucks for that. Small trucks are 50k now. Welcome to inflation and its gonna get worse.
Not a bad looking truck but in this price range, I most defiantly would buy a Raptor instead, this is just a ZR2 with some bolt ons,maybe if Chevy would add a supercharger like Ford does,that might help justify the 80k plus......
This is a turbo diesel.
I have to agree the gen 3 raptor interior feels cheap compared to gm and ram. That shift in particular feels like a plastic toy.
I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that $82K price tag. I guess that's why there are SO many new trucks just sitting on the lots, Chevy, GMC, Ford, Ram, Toyota. Enjoy your videos, always great content, but dang you talk so fast, lmao.
Ok I need one
Did I just see a step platform on the front bumber? I looks like it is. Can u do and update on the front in the shorts.
I see it now. Great access to under the hood.
I hope Ben sees this. I haven't found any information on it.
Hair is on point my man.
Thanks Randy , I have been reading so much about the problems Chevy has been having, it’s pushing me towards buying another F150

@@Brian_Eugene_Lee! Ben Hardy trying to film one of these diesel trucks!
Every review you describe seating space and headroom, but I have no idea how tall you are -- 6' 1"? 5' 4"? Who knows? This is quite a common thing overlooked by most reviewers. Don't forget to mention your height when describing the room available!
He is 6’1”. He states in older videos.
@@songj0056Thanks for the info, but it would still be nice if he (and almost every other TH-camr) would occasionally mention their height when reviewing vehicles.
@Brian_Eugene_Lee why is that even relevant to the question no one cares how tall you are are you trying to flex
@@warmaster88Some folks (like me) care about how much leg room is in the back seat, so when he sits back there and says he has plenty of leg room, it's pretty important to know how tall he is so I know how much leg room is actually available. It's impossible to tell "on camera" how much space there really is--so his, and other TH-camrs, height is the only measure people have.
@adriananttila6312 wasn't replying to you was replying to Brian as you can see the @
82k for a 1/2 ton pickup…. I guess if you can afford it…..
Its a commercial vehicle. Unlike the raptor or trx. You can write it off your taxes if you own a business or file a 1099
My 2023 gets almost 600 miles per tank
Yeah but what’s the tank capacity and MPG
Mine is a 23 Denalli w/ 3.0 and 24 Gal.@@lordrayden3045
@@lordrayden3045you have to understand these are commercial work vehicles. So if you're towing 8k lbs with a raptor (you can't tow 8k with trx). You're going to probably get avg 5 mpg if not less. This truck woul tow 8k. And still get like 15 to 17mpg
I have wanted to buy a 2024 Silverado 1500 5.3 . But I have been reading about all the problems with their transmission!! Do you have any information?
The ten speed that comes with the 5.3 is a good transmission. It's the 8 speed 8l90 that comes with the 2.7 turbo that has had issues. The 8l80 is the revised version that comes in the 2024 models equipped with the 2.7L turbo and time will tell if they worked out the issues.
This truck is beautiful does it come with a gas engine that the one I would buy
Yes.
5.3 V8 if you use 87 octane
6.2 V8 if you use 93 octane.
Yes it does 420 hp v8
82,000 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Probably even more
In 10 years, it will be 100k plus.
I really like this truck. My only issue is the GM interior always looks so much cheaper made than the Ford or Ram. The plastics just look very low rent to me.
just one comment, why did this man talk so fast, did he feel like peeing or did he want to go home quickly?
I will consider buying this truck in 2028 or 2029. I am priced out of the market.
Yeah, just give all your money to the CEO's! Too damn expensive!
CEO’s? Do you even understand how a corporation works? Do you understand how much operating costs have gone up? I can tell you do not own a business and you probably work for someone.
It cost double to operate these companies than it did 3 years ago. Everyone got raises, utilities tripled. No more tax breaks.
It’s gonna get worst when taxes go up soon. Plus these companies still need to borrow for manufacturing, which costs a ton more for the high interest loans now.
Learn how about operational cost. It will devastate you. The government is the ripoff. Not the CEO. Atleast the CEO gives millions of jobs. What do you provide to others?
Way too much for a truck trying to be a shittt Raptor/TRX clone. Needs to be 20k cheaper. 😂
It’s not trying to be a clone. This truck is more of a work truck and can tow more. Plus you can get a diesel or 6.2 V8, instead of just a V6 like the Raptor.
You can also get 10k off of these.
Nice styling but cheap GM interior. Ur won’t have lifter failure in a diesel but 10spd is too many gears. Y is there awful stop/start on a diesel?
Also needs more powerful v8 optio. 650 - 700 hp range
👍💖👍
What’s with all the stupid names with the vehicles lately? They are following the stupid naming format Chrysler is using.
Needs 37 inch tires as an option
