We are blessed to live in a beautiful place for sure. Im glad there are others like me who would consider going from my HD truck to one of these EV trucks. I haven’t driven the Silverado EV yet but was very impressed by it when I got hands on with it earlier this year. I wish the Ford had an option for a slightly larger battery like the GM trucks for towing. I’m hoping I will be able to replicate this test with the Silverado at some point to see how it compares. Enjoy your new truck and thanks for sharing!

Thanks Dustin! I appreciate you watching!!

Haha, your support is greatly appreciated. Thanks for being one of the 10s of 10s!! Yeah i already spoke to him about doing a quick video to see how the charging would go with a generator. Not likely the best plan but if you are in the mountains a few days with no charger nearby it might be the difference between going to your favorite camp site and not.

He’s a natural!!

Joe, you should go test drive one. It’s a different experience!

I really liked this truck. I thought it was more attractive than the new Tacoma that it competed against.

Haha fair point. It’s the new norm I guess but you are right, still far more than my family is buying a vehicle for anytime soon.

Similar front end but I personally would take the equinox overall styling over the crown.

100% agree, gloss black is too hard to keep looking clean. This truck would look 🔥 with matte black in place of all the gloss black.

$60k is more than i have to spend on a vehicle but to be fair this is their fully loaded top of the line model being priced. I will probably always be a 2-3 yr old used vehicle buyer. Id like to think prices will come back down but I dont think we will ever see prices like we had 5 yrs ago, sadly. Thanks for the view and comment.

Good Clarification, its interesting that theres a differentiation.

In person this paint POPPED. It looked so good. By far one of the top green color options on the market.

The Ford Probe was almost my first car as a 16yo haha. What a huge name FAIL of a name haha.

Never had Duratracs on one of my own vehicles before. My favorite tires I’ve put on my own truck so far are the Falken Wildpeak AT3s. Great tire!

I don’t believe it has any separated fog lights, they may be integrated somehow into the headlight cluster. And the 2.5L turbo 4 cylinder engine is the only option on this new Traverse.

Crazy what a new “family” SUV costs these days. It is a nice looking redesign though.

Yeah facts. The price should improve over time as it isn’t so “new” and other trims should follow between a WT and RST. And the tire prices are crazy, last time I put them on my truck it was almost $2500 for the set. That physically hurt to pay haha

Front instead of rear bc it’s a truck and while most charging stations don’t allow for you to easily charge with a trailer some of them you could by nosing in. Very few pull through stations currently so the rear charge port decreases your chance to charge while towing. As for the right side, well the most robust charging network currently and likely for a while is the Tesla charging network which would mean it needs to be on the front right to best use these stations as they come open to other brands. Back left is fine if not towing but again, it’s a truck and marketed as one that you would likely tow with so front right seems more appropriate. The industry as a whole will be more successful if all manufacturers try to create an integrated charging network that works for all vehicles, and again Tesla has the head start on this network so easier for others to follow their established charge port location. What are your thoughts on it?

Yeah nice refresh for sure. Anxious to get a little closer look and drive it.

Oh that’s a good call. I’ll pass that on to my friends who own the truck to see if that works. Thanks for the comment!

Sorry to hear that. This was my very first KZbin video so lots of learning occurred and continues to happen today. Hope you will come back and visit the channel again.

Yeah I don’t dig the price for sure. It’s a sweet truck but for me, that kind of $ is going towards a new HD truck not a tricked out Colorado. Sounds like you got a new HD truck at the right time at $53k. Do you like your Silverado HD?

Thanks for the follow up. It looked huge back there haha. These Bison trims are really looking good though.

I think so too!

Thanks! Ford has better build quality for sure. And those seats truly were very comfortable. Any glaring issues you’ve had or things you really wish were different on your Mach E?

Wish the charging was faster using a 240v outlet. Takes about 5 hours at 50%. Other than that, no issues at 20k miles.

I’ve heard the charging concern from other owners as well but none have said it would have changed their purchase. Glad to hear you are enjoying yours.

Yeah I get why they wanted to use the Mustang name but I think it could have made its own legacy or failed on its own and left the Mustang to its own.

Thanks. Yeah you should definitely test drive one at the least. Thanks for sharing

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. I really liked the Telluride.

Why thank you. Just trying keep everyone up to speed. Haha.

Heck yeah! I might sneak an Avs sticker onto my buddy’s truck we tested haha. Always glad to have fellow Avs fan joining the channel. Thanks for watching and commenting!

True this is one of the quietest diesel motors. I hope this motor continues to get put into more GM products bc it is such a great little workhorse.

It's basically the same diesel engine BMW uses (M57/N57 diesel) in some of their vehicles. Much better emissions system design than most other American vehicles.

It’s not electric. No motors. It’s a diesel engine.

@@James-t3c What?

@@saltcar people need to stop calling engines, motors. Motors are electric. Engines are combustion, fed by fuel. Massive difference. Especially now that plenty of vehicles that are electric with motors.

And I will let you buy me one as well if you win the lottery! Haha

I totally agree!

I don’t believe the owner has a dash cam, all the footage through the windshield was done with an iPhone 15pro max.

I don’t have a lot of insight on issues that others have reported but of those I know who own a Silverado or Sierra with the new 10 speed they have all been very happy with them.

I agree, if your use case is towing I would recommend the diesel over the 5.3 for the higher torque and at much lower rpm. The turbo is also a big deal where I am at altitude. 5.3 is a great motor though if it meets your needs.

@@PresNGoI’d still tow with my 5.3 than that small 3.0. If you wanna tow get a 6.6.

This engine makes 120 lbft more torque than your engine. Not even the 6.2 can match it in torque. A non-Trail Boss truck with the Duramax easily gets 27-30 mpg highway.

@@joshtaylor1416 The 3.0 Dmax is a better towing engine than the 5.3. The 5.3 just doesn't have the torque so you need the 10-speed and NHT max tow package, but that means giving up the Z71 option.

@@karlschauff7989 that 3.0 is useless.

Hahah that’s a good one. I haven’t heard that one before.

5.3 is a motor that has stood the test of time for Chevy.

@@PresNGo only change oil and relube, brakes and wheel bearings in all that time almost 500k when I sold it

That’s incredible. Good lasting motor for sure

@@kevinswanson3910Wow! 👏🏽

New dash is nice but i know plenty of people that love the old dash just as much. Fact is its a great truck and I dig the rst styling. What color?

@@PresNGo silver metallic black trim full stepside spray on bedliner and role up box cover best truck I had 50 k km so far I'm in canada and have no problem on winter starts

Very nice. I like that color combo

The 01 5.3 first gen was the best 5.3 277hp kind of ironic that the first gen 3.0 diesel is 277hp and ne t gen was 305hp

My friend says he gets 25-27mpg on the highway. Obviously here in CO that varies based on where you are driving with the mountains but he said that’s what he typically gets on the highway.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! Glad you keep coming back for more haha.

@@PresNGoThat Sand color is perfect for the black accents. If not for Slate Gray, I’m sure I’d go this route. On another note, here in Michigan those 3.0’s are becoming impossible to source… And for good reason Ha! Great review brother!👊🏽💯

Thanks for watching friend!

I dont own the Tesla but if you want me to give an unbiased review on a product im sure i could get my hands on another model y.

That's great. Could you please leave your contact information?@@PresNGo

Haha thanks. Silly practice video

Hahaha that’s awesome.

I think the daily fill is one of the more appealing parts of an EV. And at your rates, that’s crazy affordable.

Good to know!
