I have a '23 LZ0 Z71, LTZ. Empty I see 32-35 mpg at hwy speeds. I've gotten as high as 41 mpg at 55 mph sustained driving. Towing our 4k lb. camper I get +/- 20 mpg. I previously had a similarly equipped 5.3L and didn't care for it much when it came to towing. It just seemed to work too hard. That one got roughly 13 mpg towing. I am very happy with this 3.0....except for one thing, who decided that it was a good idea to make it so the driver has to move the shift lever FORWARD for reverse?? It's electronic for crying out loud! They could have made it any way they wanted but nooooo. (Rant over.)

Your review is partially wrong. The pacifica has sunshades. Also I chose the pacifica because it was 15k cheaper and i get 60mpg instead of 36. The Toyota is probably more reliable, but they wanted 10k over msrp and I had to take whatever showed up on the lot

I just rented a Pacifica Plug in Hybrid from Alamo at DEN and drove it to Vail. That's over the Continental Divide, to and fro, plus about 120 miles in between with many thousands of feet of elevation change. So 300 miles approx across the Rocky Mountains, I used 9 gallons of fuel and I never bothered to plug in the unit either as it was being valet parked. I just got 40 MPG in a 7 passenger minivan that handled very heavy traffic to Vail that made the trip close to 3 hours. It was smooth and substantial feeling. I'm seriously considering buying one I was so impressed.

First ad I get while watching this is an ad for Ford... Shame.

Torque on a diesel is measured at the hitch. Torque on a gas engine is measured at the flywheel

I have the volume wheel in my Mercedes e450 all terrain. It’s a great tool, and wish I had in my other cars, both BMW’s. This thing is a great cheaper car for short trips and hauling stuff home. Big improvement, and looks bigger than the x2. I think not the smallest suv from bmw. Maybe.

I'VE HAD MY 2023 DENALI FOR A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE NEVER HAD MILEAGE LIKE I'M SEEING ON HERE!! I AM ALWAYS IN THE 28-34 MPG RANGE AND HAVE GOTTEN AS HIGH AS 38.5

5th wheel ?

Has an american flag but its a european brand owned by Stellantis 😂😂...

12.8

the new wl grand c is a mixed bag for me. i do like the exterior design. i guess the cargo area is improved also with that . i also like the power lift gate and parking brake but thats about as far as it goes. the power train is smooth and quiet thanks to zf tranny but its under powered and outdated. you can get a two tone interior in the limited but the all black interiors in the laredo and altitude are abysmal. the piano black trim in the center stack is horrible. the rotary dial taking up space in the center is the worst in the industry. it is a comfortable, quiet, easy to drive, and somewhat affordable midsize suv in the lower trims. it is also cheaply made with some quality and reliability issues. i refuse to buy another car with a black interior bc im old and they are just to hard see anything. i wish i could put the old interior with a lighter color in the new body style about sums it up. maybe jeep will redesign some things, offer a second interior color in the upcoming mcr, as ford had to do to with the explorer. im more drawn to the two rows but i still wouldnt buy one. its really hard to find an affordable used or new suv without a black interior these days.

Any update on your truck any issues from then to now?

Just bought a 24 Laredo,main complaint is the cheapened up the tow pkg. my 17 had full-size spare with matching wheel,now temp spare with steel rim! Eliminated 3 storage pockets in rear areas. Otherwise pretty nice vehicle.Also finger prints on touch screen are annoying,

Thank you for your in-depth and insightful review 🙏🙏 I signed on a brand new '23 Trailhawk and 8 months later I am still loving it even though I have accrued only 5500 miles. Will probably keep it after my lease expires.

Word "SUV" is a stretch

Traded the 6.2 for the 3.0 diesel and no comparison the 3 litre out tows it all day long

Great review. Tongue weight is my concern also. Not hauling a trailer but a 25' boat with about 800lbs of tongue weight. Would you suggest air bags or a LD Hitch? Otherwise as a daily driver it's a much better choice than the HD IMO and a heck of a lot easier to park. Agree on the off road v on road towing capability, currently have a 21 GMC AT4 with the 5.3 and it's terrible MPG wise and the sag is unacceptable.

This is KZbin. You need to say how long you are when you test the backseat...

I’ve got a 24 Denali with an LZO and it seems to pretty much be good at everything. I love it

Wow! That baby duramax gets terrible mileage compared to my 2008 GMC 2500 HD with the LMM. I used this truck for my car/small equipment transport operation pulling a 36' gooseneck loaded up usually close to a total gvwr of just under 26,000 lbs. Towing I would average 11.8. Empty I would get 21.2. The truck was an extended cab 2wd.

This kid has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Almost every point that he made is inaccurate. I highly suggest you do some research kid before flapping your lips on a topic you obviously don't understand

Awesome, realistic video. We have the 3.0 LTZ with the max tow package and a shorter, but slightly heavier camper. Using the Blue Ox Swaypro WD hitch, we averaged around 13-15 mpg's while towing on a 500 mile round trip through the White Mountains and New England. We have a bit less sag, but your set up is probably much smoother on normal driving.

Fun little secret. If you hold the button while towing it’ll lock the flex portion so you don’t accidentally forget and drop the tailgate

Ambient light on this tx is a joke, only door grab and footwell. I was thinking the samething about the touch feature on the steering wheel and finally you said it.

How much is the trail boss lifted?

If you want the best gas mileage, drive the speed limit.

I have a 2023 Sierra 1500 with the LZ0. It pulls our boat, which is about 6K lbs., at 70 with no problems and gets 13 MPG.

Bought a 2024 Trailboss with the Duramax. Got 24,000 kms on it now and I absolutely love this truck. I traded a RST with the 6.2 and the only thing I miss is the top end passing power. The Duramax in the low end is as good or better. All in all the 3.0L Duramax is awesome 👏🏻

Great review with solid editing. New subscriber!

I get 33/40 mpg 33mpg average without towing and 15 while towing 8000 lbs. I put 4 OZ EDT fuel conditioner every fill-up.

The module to turn off the dod doesnt stop the problems. Gotta remove the lifters to fix the real problem.

I just got mine last week. F’ing awesome truck. 🛻

Yeah Yeah that's great and nathan wedding ceremony and nathan wedding anniversary

What’s the tow rating of this truck setup?

No, the 2024 platiniun highlander has the automatic transmission not thr cvt.

I just bought a Platinium highlander. I thought the grande highlander was less chic and luxurious the platiniun is like a lexus.

Great fuel mileage but not a great engine design that uses a belt driven oil pump located at the back of the motor. If belt fails motor is toast. I read 15+ hours labor to replace the belt + parts. The premise of a diesel engine is reliability, I think this belt introduced a risk to reliability.

I see your from Boise. I’m originally from Twin Falls. We lived in Caldwell/ Nampa’s for a few years.

At a quick glance, you can tell it’s the Summit Reserve and not the Summit because the former all have the “honeycomb” styled rims and are a little shiner. Don’t know why they moved the wiper stalk to the right side: as I jump from my WK to my WL , when it’s begins raining, I have to look, as opposed to muscle memory. Nice review for someone not overly familiar with the new body style.

Don't like pacifica.Hate the body style abd colors. Love toyota , have one for 15 years now the only major problem I had to replace was my air compressor and this just happened two and a half after it was paid off.

People get stereotyped easily based on the history, and experience, but the fact is the world is keeping changing and no one could predict the future based on the past. That’s the beauty of the world and universe. No matter which one is your favorite, the most important thing is you enjoy your choice and get what you want. I like the reliability and I also like the feeling of the overall drive experience. I got a Pacifica hybrid this week. I enjoyed it and I got 7 years and 80k mileage comprehensive warranty for free

Can you do an 8 month update?

my 2022 chevy 3.0 has the power to pull 8000#, but the big problem i have with mine is, it sways when you pull an enclosed trailer of any size, I have a 33' camper, and a 16' foot enclosed trailer, it sways pulling either one. I drove mine from Michigan to Florida this past winter and got 36mpg, and only cost $175 in fuel, and one box of DEF the whole trip, I drove from Wilson, NC to Midland, MI on one tank full (22 glns) towing i get between 12-14 depends on wind, and the total average i get is 26-30mpg. I enjoy the gas mileage, but towing boxed trailers or campers sucks, my flatbed is different, I can load that up, and it pulls fine. No one has the answer for me to fix it, or make it better hauling. I might just go back to my Dodge 2500

Belt driven oil pump. This engine is designed to fail

Horsepower difference between Lexus and Toyota will be from the premium fuel recommended for Lexus. They are the same.

I own a 2023 Toyota tundra with the new TwinTurbo V6 and my motor just seized to stop working literally failed so it’s a good thing you didn’t buy the tundra

I need a lighter to be installed on the front bumper due to an eye condition. Can a bar be installed on this basically a plastic bumper? Thanks.

Memory seats?

Is XTREME Recon package only available on the X or all Rubicons?

I have the 2024 GMC 1500 a AT4X with the 3.0. I love it, but lift, tires, etc... driving from meridian to mountain home every day, I see about 22.5 -23 mpg depending on the wind and normally better mpg on the way to mt. Home. I will confirm that the wind plass a huge role.
