Chevy has always made a good truck.

[@jasonpalma6209]

Was I the only one that nearly lost their mind listening to this lady talk about the truck?

[@TsiRoadkill]

That lady has no idea what she's talking about.

[@Artoconnell]

Hey...its Blue..she knew that much :)

[@reeseman4408]

She did damn well for a woman. Cut her a break

[@JohnDiMartino]

Wish they'd had a competent person to talk specs...never ever ever has 5 th whee, towing capacity been less than the bumper.....until her lol... The figures she was quoting were the max for a 3500 duramax DRW on the bumper,not a 2500, then she quoted the 6.0 gas max trailer weight with 4.10 bumper pull or 5 th wheel...(13200).unbelievable the lack of knowledge on there own product..

[@codycasner3732]

Literally just picked this truck up at a dealership today, beautiful truck inside and out

[@iphone3gsdivine]

One year later how’s the truck?

[@EGGINFOOLS]

Seriously woman!!! This is what happens when you SHOVE a woman in this spot.

[@POPPASHANGO]

learned a lot about aesthetics, like storage space and cup holders an such.... reminds that what you are hearing is not near as important as what is not being said.....

[@mdemory]

she wasnt ready - i will be building my own truck from scratch

[@briansanchez.2017]

The chevy 2500 looks nice I'm looking forward to buying one

[@youngblood23rb]

Someone please tell the Office Assistant to go make us a pot of coffee and order us lunch!

[@SF-fm7ov]

Pretty nice of Roman to ignore her towing numbers mistakes. Such a gent.

[@WilliamStewart1]

The 6.0L motor has been around for a long time and they are known for lasting almost as long as diesels. They have a nice torque curve and are only available with 4.10 gears now. Fast lane truck did a comparo between Chevy, Ram, and Ford in 2500 gas engine trim and the that "dog" was faster than the ford 6.2 and the new 6.4 hemi. I guarantee you that neither the 6.2 or the 6.4 will touch the 6.0L in longevity.

[@blackiechane]

you couldnt have said it better. the best part is with these ls engine you can put a cam headers, or rebuild them with Corvette internals and still remain reliable

[@TexasWarBonnet]

I beg to differ...living in Texas you see what real trucks are made of. The GM 6.0 never makes it past 250k-300k, which yes is long but not as long as Ford gas. I've seen dozens(literally) of Ford gas engines meet 500k. Including the 5.4 V8...which shouldn't be in that heavy of a truck. Not to mention the 6.0 cant do more than a 1/2 ton can do. My dad has the 2003 2500 6.0l, and i have an 2004 f150 4.6; though my truck isn't rated for it we put the heavy loads on my truck in order to get the job done. His truck SCREAMS like a little girl when towing anything over 5,000lbs. Not to mention mine will get better gas mileage while doing it. That's partly why i stick with Ford, they build trucks right.

[@WilliamStewart1]

No modern day ford engine will make it past 500k. All this ohc stuff is garbage. Ever since ford went modular they have had the worst truck engines. Granted the 300 and 460 were among the best truck engines built, and ford does build a good truck, but the new engines are garbage. On to what you said about the 5.4, they were an ok engine if you could see past the tick their whole life. Not to mention you could buy a new truck with the amount your going to spend on oil and changing the cam phasers out every time you fill up. I wish I could bring you to my work to see how many kms we have on our 6.0 work trucks. Some have almost 600,000 km on them. As far as I'm concerned, if it doesn't have pushrods, it doesn't belong in a truck (diesels exempted). I'm not putting your Ford's down, like I said, they are a solid truck they just have garbage motors. Maybe you just haven't been exposed to enough Chevy V8's, to say they aren't hands down the best is truly arrogant. GM has done a lot of stupid things in the past, they have even built some pretty shitty cars. But they have never built a bad V8.

[@blackiechane]

if ford motors are so great then how come nobody swap them or upgrades them... exactly you cant beat a LS motor, know ill give ford the straight 6 that was good motor back in the day

[@TexasWarBonnet]

William Stewart I agree with you that yes not all Ford gas were great but in what i've seen they have just not fit my lifestyle. One of my good friends has an f150 5.0 with 450,000+miles and is still going, granted its not 500,000mi. but its in the ballpark. Not to mention the 6.2l is a cast iron block and is nearly a copy of the early 4.6/5.4 and those i've read many cases see over 600,000mi, one of which was showcased and a 5.4 had made it to 1,200,000miles. I'll admit yes GM V8's are great engines they would without a doubt would be my next pick, i think the 5.3 V8 is one of the best sounding V8's i've ever heard, with great power. And yes they're much easier to upgrade and modify. I will also admit that Ford's are harder to work on, however in my opinion we hardly ever work on them in comparison to our GM vehicles. No disrespect at all; I love Ford and GM over anything else hands down! I guess it really comes down to how the driver/owner really takes care of the vehicle and the environment the vehicle best performs in.

[@jandjdestruction]

this is by no means everything I want to know! I have sooo many questions still!!!!

[@Olph1]

GM set this woman up! But she gets an A for effort.

[@Travesty_INC]

Wait, 19K LBs convential bumper pull and 13K LBs fifth wheel? Shouldn't that be the other way around?

[@Travesty_INC]

+Robert Willmon Yep, that's true bud

[@GMCTIM]

Our oldest son had the GMC 2500 6.0, it was a Great Truck ! He had it several years, sold it for what he payed for it !

[@truculent2086]

19,600 bumper pull with the Chevy supplied hitch! Possible misspoke there and Roman didn't try to follow up on it. Same with the 13,200 5th wheel rating and last a 2500 HD probably doesn't have a 7000lb+ payload but Roman just let that hang out there too.

[@MrChevypower]

Yep it was a mistake on the 5th wheel spec for sure.

[@MrJwh3000]

Her uncle must've gotten her that job. Nice truck by the way!

[@Briantan1911]

Ranchero shocks lol. Rancho?

[@1tylerproud]

This lady is an embarrassment to GM P.R. This is supposed to answer our questions and she didn't even know the facts of the truck. This video should be titled "A guess as to the capabilities of our new truck".

[@redemptionhd1422]

Carefree Arizona!!!!!!!!! I live there! I'm so happy now! But damn it's super exspensive to live in Carefree! But awesome review!

[@ericpinter29]

Really gm. U were well prepared for that. Dont worry only 1000s of people r going to watch this and lose respect for ur company.

[@Easycamper65]

this lady know nothing about the truck. she is just operation manager.

[@hnaser3]

Can we get a guy to talk about the truck. She didn't know anything. Just saying and showing everything that we all know.

[@rachetbomber2]

It has the Z71 off-road package but it has street tires, are you kidding me it doesn't look that off-road able to me

[@mikewhipkey6863]

This lady is General Motors in a Nutshell!

[@eeshiray]

What I wanna know is why they didn't put the 6.2l in this truck

[@aaronbehindbars]

Ranchero Shocks! Funny because she messed up the name. Even funnier because it was the name of a Ford vehicle.

[@MurderSTi]

Why not advertise mpg? My 01 2500HD LB7 Duramax gets mid 20s for mpg on average. That alone may persuade more people to buy the Diesel. It's also fun to tow 15k lbs down the highway at 70mph. 280,000 miles and still going strong.

[@Dreemccoll]

I hate those stupid assist steps on the new Chevy's. Who puts engineering in assist steps that are 2-4" lower than what your climbing onto. If your building assist steps make them half way between the ground and where your climbing onto like fords rear tail gate assist. Also why carry over engines that 6.0 should have been turfed along time ago they should have the 6.2 in there better millage and power! Come on GM wake up!

[@Shawn_Magara]

It's what they saw fit, They decided the step there fit best and it is more than 4" difference. It's not like they try a new hairdo new engines are a million dollar investment with all production, lost/gained customers, and design needed to go into it. The 6.0 is the workhorse and they know it's reliability. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you want mileage you get the diesel anyway, and if you don't think so your driving in the city and heavy duty trucks are for towing down the highway.

[@boomer1991]

They do have the 6.2L. If she said 6.0 then it was a mistake. I'll be getting a duramax though, can't wait until I can order one.

[@Shawn_Magara]

Post videos of it! :D

[@sokodad]

Eddie Hixson No it's actually the 6.0 in the HD trucks. The 6.2 is in the 1500's. Yeah it's stupid but that's the way GM is selling it. The 6.2 is on limited production now until they get more 5.3 V8's & 4.3 V6's on the road to boost the overall average mileage numbers. Feds are breathing down their neck to get the numbers up. I was told by my local dealer if I wanted a 6.2 High Country I better get one now because they'd not be getting any for awhile because of what I previously said.

[@Flykickuintheleftnut]

6.0L lasts longer. No real hauler cares about HP when it blows up in their face. 6.2L are lighter built, cheaper, etc.

[@petesspspsps]

This lady...works for GM and specializes in the Chevy Silverado HD...drives a Mini Cooper...

[@Hog0611]

i would imagine the trailer brake was placed on the left side to allow you to find the controller and use it while stil watching the load in the mirror and keeping eyes on road

[@Hog0611]

I have a super duty and it is a hassle to look down low for the cotroller and its in the middle I have to take eye off of load and road

[@x1pyroveride]

I like my ford tailgate step, i may have to pull it out of the tail gait, but its easier to get in. never liked the looks of the newer chevys especially all the chrome they stick on there.

[@clarencepegues4290]

This lady is like a bad used car sales person.

[@hoostie]

The lady in the video didn't seem to know much about the truck. I would hope the truck would pull more on a fifth wheel than number pull. To anyone saying the 6.0 is a dog, it runs better than the other options. All new chevys feel like dogs with the amount of torque management they put in the ecu. I tune all my own vehicles, and even I didn't believe how much you can get out of them, just running the transmission tune. The 6.0 in my g8 felt like a completely different car after I dyno tuned it. Picked up 30hp and 35 ft lbs. But the best part was the 6l80e didn't feel like a sloppy mess. In my opinion everyone just needs to have their new vehicle dyno tunned. Night and day difference, and as an added bonus as rich as cars run from the factory, leaning the air fuel to 14.7 while driving helps a lot on the gas mileage too. And le motors are easy to work on. A ford mod motor, and a dodge hemi can't touch an ls engine for power and reliability. My 05 2500hd has a 6.0 and 180k, and is still running strong. Might soon be time for a new oil pump though, boo

[@fourdoorexpeditioner1570]

Wow a truck that can tow more conventionally than with a fifth wheel!?! I think you better talk with a MAN next time...no offense to women, but this one definitely didn't read up on her "paperwork" the night before.

[@hoostie]

I can't wait to see what a direct injected 6.0 will do.

[@Flykickuintheleftnut]

If the market was like this forum they would never have dropped the 8.1L.

[@lolMyke]

Soo.. the step bumper is great? no you still have to step up high.. their step took out what.. 3 inches that you have to step, instead of stepping on the top of the bumper.

[@mriphone1000]

Aside from the minor upgrades that were mentioned, when will engine efficiently enter an engineers mind? Basically nothing was said about the engine/heart of the truck.

[@xComicReliefx]

That review was painful to watch. There are customers that knew more about the truck than the Chevy product manager.

[@wvcorvetteman]

19,600 Conventional Towing??? Come on this lady has no clue !! Could GM please get truck people in charge of the Silverado. Its obvious this lady does not understand anything about what we do with our Heavy Duty Trucks. Didnt even know the torque of the Diesel. Why should she need a paper she should know the brochure forwards and backwards. Hey GM if you need a truck guy in charge of your trucks Iam available.

[@seraphimvalkyrin4543]

I wish you guys would cover the GMC Sierra more. I know its about the same as the Chevy but I think the GMC looks a lot better.

[@cheethabeast]

All of you need to stop hating, she gave valuable information. She's a women, so what? Where would men be without them.

[@MrTaser99]

you are a little beta bitch arent you? your comment says it ALL.

[@cheethabeast]

MrTasser? Y u talking shit over the internet bet cash u won't say that to my face.. I could tell you got bullied as a child , talking shit over the web bc that's what real men do.

[@WoChiDaBien]

Wow great just need more new truck

[@TheJoncic]

Very disappointing the new 6.2 liter is not offered in the 2500. Very disappointing.

[@TheJoncic]

***** More horsepower, more torque, better mpg. The 6.0 is outdated.

[@TheJoncic]

You should probably find more happiness in life instead of being an abrasiveness dick on the internet. Just my $.02. Carry on.

[@MrStarcraft69]

+TheJoncic , This is for durability

[@wesbrake9231]

the 6.2 has an aluminum block made for racing, won't last long, the 6.0 has an iron block, made for a truck and lasts a long time, Chevy knows what they are doing

[@ThePleza]

I WANT 1!!

[@jorgeu111]

and the payload they said looks like the 3500/reg cab/duramax/dually payload. The 2500 should be arround 3000lbs

[@iceee187]

i think she got her numbers backwards with the tow ratings. You would think the fifth wheel could pull the 19,000 and the standard would be 13,000

[@Saki630]

TFL, what the hell is the benefit of going Chevy or GMC other than paying more?

[@Darkvirgo88xx]

At least ford and dodge stepped up in 2015. There marketing is also much better and well put together I almost fell asleep watching this.

[@codename4777]

GM should hire Randy Couture as their truck spokesman.

[@daredevil7442AUTOMOTIVE]

where's the old lincoln diamond jubilee!!!!????

[@jakebarscz3143]

Cool Chevy

[@ib516]

Are "Ranchero" shocks the same as Rancho? 13,000# 5th wheel towing eh? Holy no idea batman!

[@floribertoherrera4496]

Chevy the best

[@Universeschild89]

FORD is the best truck.

[@kylefitzgerald4419]

The 2015 superduty can tow up to 20,000lbs or 22,000lbs in the single wheel and the dually can tow up to 31,200lbs and with a new towing package it could tow 34 or 35,000lbs. And now has 440 horse power and 860 pound foot of torque, and in the 6.2 I think it`s might be 380 horse power and 430 pound foot of torque for 2015? Not to sure but I did hear it would be getting more power and torque. I also still like the ford tail gate step better I have a 2014 sierra slt with a 6.2 and I hate the bumper step every time I take it off-road it gets filled with mud then if you want to get into the box you get your shoes or any other foot wear dirty. But they both have there ups and downs.

[@Matthew-ob9ml]

Thankyou, an intellegent pickup customer for once. Too many fanboys that just pledge loyalty to one for their whole lives and can't think of anything but their choice of company. It's just as bad as Apple vs Android or Xbox vs PS4 fanboys.

[@CarsandGuitars100]

You know; it's not all about what the truck can do...It's about how long the truck can do it. Ford's had shit rolling off of the factory since the 7.3 was discontinued; [sure] it could tow a lot, but is it really that reliable? The answer is now yes, but wasn't that way since the 2000's. The 6.7 Scorpions and Gen2 6.7's are amazing, but it seriously took Ford 3 full overhaul engine revisions from Navistar International to finally call it quits to make their own Super Duty powerplants. Dodge had Cummins 12 valves for a long damn time; and Chevy's had the Duramax since the 2000's. The difference, is that they actually improved on their designs rather than thinking it's better to reinvent the diesel engine and ruining everything good they started with. So before you think for everyone and their reasons for sinking over 50k for a HD or SD rig (solely on what its towing capacity, HP, and LB/Footage is, realize the history behind the vehicle; it's not JUST brand loyalty.

[@kylefitzgerald4419]

***** I totally agree, Ford has had lots of engines in the superduty,and yeah cummins and duramax have been their since the 90`s and 2000`s. But you do know that Ford owned cummins back in the 60`s and 70`s. The way I know this is because my grandfather owned a ford dealer ship then and he had an f-250 with a cummins until just 10 years ago then he got a newer 1/2 ton then etc newer trucks. Now though the part that makes me made on the silverado is that you look and it has an allison tranny in and a spicer rear end. Now it needs to get more torque and power. I know it is a strong puller already but when you look it`s starting to fall a little behind in the torque and power segment, like the gen2 6.7 has 440 horse power and 860 pounds foot of torque, the ram has I think in horse power correct me if I am wrong but close to 390 to 400 horse power and then 850 pound foot of torque. The Chevy is 397 and 767 pound foot of torque. Now those are pretty good but could be better concidering it`s only a litter behind the others, maybe a bigger turbo or like dodge a high output. and the could get 830 to 840 pounds foot of torque and like 420hp. Now this is not me putting chevy down I like chevy but get recalls fixed and more torque and hp then I will think about another chevy but I have a 14 sierra slt 6.2 and I have had 5 recalls or so.

[@luzdacunhams]

Chevrolet should sell this wonder in Brazil ....

[@TundraBros]

Its got the Ranchero shocks........smh

[@billmiller494]

I'm still not willing willing to pay 2 times as much for a Chevy truck over a Ford truck. Chevy needs to work on their prices or talk to the dealers about mark up - one example is the chevy dealer near me wanted more for a v6 Camaro than for a fully loaded Mustang GT. I think Chevy stays is business from customer loyalty and not from people who actually compare.

[@bpscottland74]

Can't wait to buy one!

[@MattHsv11]

Excellent review Roman and Chevrolet lady good knowledge from her too, good on you both.

[@pranksterDoug]

I don't understand why they used the 6.0l when it makes only 5 hp more than the 5.3l and has the same torque.

[@zimks]

Because is a beast!

[@Rezistify]

Because they don't have to publish gas mileage on a 3/4ton and it doesn't count towards there fleet MPG

[@josh5528]

Douglas Wainwright GM likes to compensate by making 4:10 gear ratio their standard gears in their 2500hd gassers

[@pranksterDoug]

Ah

[@RevolutionMuscle]

You obviously dont know anything about vehicles. I'll let you figure this one out for yourself.

[@jaskoe1]

Wonder when Chevy will pull their head out of their ass and FIX THE FUCKING INTERIOR!!!

[@MrTaser99]

its a joke Ford fixed theirs and made it leathers of quality and real material NO more plastic in the 2015 model why cant chevy do the same?

[@Kevincheesepizza]

Roman: "carlike" the hell is wrong with you!

[@pfjpie]

Why gm why!!! stop using the 6l from 2007 it was great then but you have a better engine in your half ton! the 6.2l if anything gm should grab the 7l in the z28 camero that would be very interesting

[@jerambelu]

Wow, where'd GMC find this woman? Clearly out of her element.

[@Dfour]

GM can't build a truck or hire someone to sell it Nice paint job. That orange peel an option ?

[@codyhusbands2579]

She sounds smartly fit for the Obama Administration

[@budcargeorge]

Bring back 4 wheel steering and I might consider buying one. A true luxury that beats anything they have ever come out with since 2004. Quadrasteer owners still rave about that option. They even have their own forum, GMC Chevy never marketed it right, very depressing, this video is even more depressing FML

[@mrsmiley81]

How pathetic that GM would front that women to waste your time. How can you have a representative who doesn't know the most important data points about a product.

[@jorgeu111]

so in 2014 2500 we had for the reg cab 13000lbs max of conventional towing and 17800 of fifth wheel. Now she says 19000lbs of conventional towing!!!.. I think that's the fifth wheel towing and that's the reason she couldn't remember all the numbers.

[@NIAtoolkit]

The conventional towing number she gave was correct, but the 5th-wheel is 23,200lbs. I was expecting at least 27,000lbs on 5th-wheel for the 2015 HD trucks.

[@jorgeu111]

but again. she wasn't talking about the 2500 shown. but the 3500. right?

[@NIAtoolkit]

Yup, those are the 3500HD specs.

[@larrysmith6797]

19,600 lbs. bumper pull and 13,200 lbs. 5th wheel? Go minivan the kids to soccer, lady.

[@TheTysurfs]

Don't think she knew what a truck was!

[@Skankhunt98745]

Why the 6.0? Put the 6.2 in the 2500's

[@IAMDAVEAMI]

+chris driscoll oi thats why you get the GMC denilie HAHAHA those have the 6.2 in them HAHAHAHA THE END ::)

[@dieselguy4816]

+chris driscoll The Block in the 2500 is iron making it "heavy duty". The block in the 6.2 is aluminum and isn't considered heavy duty and cant be put in a heavy duty pickup.

[@Skankhunt98745]

+Diesel Guy totally forgot about that

[@RevolutionMuscle]

AMDAVEAMI, dafuq? English please.

[@headcas620]

Hey guys, srsly you guys, what if the trucks weren't so tall? Heavy duty trucks in the past haven't been so tall... Then you wouldn't need these steps.

[@michaelcarley6407]

she made fun of the man step lol funny how now chevy has the box step ford has had this for many years

[@FlyingHighVeteran]

The 6.2 liter has 420 hp & the 5.3 is rated at 355 hp what's with the messed up specs given???

[@mmalsucrazy]

They need to lose the cables for the tailgate, if they are going to put a damn step right there. That's just a stupid over sight and not safe at all.
