2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD Dually Takes on The Extreme Ike Gauntlet Towing Review

[@unimogdave]

So the Ram 3500HD is rated to tow 8K more then the Chevy but at a lighter 21.4K load test the Chevy is faster up the hill and brakes less going down the hill. Sounds like the Ram is over rated.

[@peaceondeath2319]

I live on a ranch. Bought a 2500 Ram diesel. 3.42 rear axle ratio 6.7 cummings. Brand new for 44k. Chevys were about 1-2k higher for base models. I'm not a loyalist but i'm totally happy with it. The heavy duty hauler is a f350 flat bed 6.7 diesel 2015 with 4.10 gears. It wont pull any better than my truck. Buy what you like

[@mattieice4689]

Bullshit

[@Stonemasters11]

Everyone talking about how the Chevy did so well compared to the others, yes it did well but , these are runs that are not done under controlled conditions. There is traffic to consider and a speed limit to abide too. If you noticed, Ken said how smooth a run it was with no traffic issues. Another thing is the weather and density of the air on any given day which affects how optimum the engine runs.

[@HighSpeedFudd762]

Preach

[@lrizo3841]

Even with all that taken into consideration the Chevy would still do better than Ford and Ram.. makes me wonder why Ford keeps declining these tests.

[@HighSpeedFudd762]

L Rizo Facepalm... They explained why ford declined the test. It would make no sense for Ford to send these guys a heavy duty truck in 2016 with the new one coming out in 2017.

[@BigDave12768]

+L Rizo Facepalm smh!!! Are you kidding. Send your 440 hp 865 tq truck over. Do you really think anyone really cares about this test? The real reason Ford won't bring a truck over is they were caught cheating during a test. They put. F450 up against a Ram and then a F350 as the F350 was coming up on the Ram being driven by the Ford guy the TFL guy caught him backing off to let the F350 fly by. The Ram had just found shifted and was about to pull away from the f350. Watch the f450 vs ram 3500.

[@bradleygoodrich5569]

As a GM/Chevy guy i have to admit the new Fords are pretty badass, 440 horsepower, and 865 lb. ft of torque and they're tough lookin. Honestly, im losing my brand loyalty. At this point ill take whatever truck looks to my liking, and is the best buy for my money and therefore the cheapest. All these trucks will do more than you want them to. Its really just a question of what specifically you want to look like while your doing it haha.

[@justinp8946]

Gm really does make good looking trucks. Ford has come along way I must say

[@BelowMinimums]

I find it interesting how the Silverado has a significantly less max towing than the Ram yet it beat it by 10 seconds on the same load. Nice video, love the Heavy duty Ike Gauntlet videos.

[@SplittingHUNTER]

It’s because it has 2 less cylinders. Even in the drag races the Cummins is always slower than the v8s

[@kidluk]

Andre, for the reasons you penalized the truck on your subjective score are the reasons you should've given it 25 or more. It's maxed out yet still destroyed the Ram up and down.....

[@MrSkyentist]

Glad you guys switched to 60fps video. Much more pleasant to watch.

[@FORKLIFT-POV]

Am i the only person who thinks they should take all the trucks competing in the gold hitch awards on a 100 mile MPG loop and include those results into the scoring system as well? I figure that most people who buy these trucks and use them for heavy duty towing are more likely to be driving long distances on flat highway and only occasionally find themselves going up extreme hills like the ike gauntlet.

[@ih1206]

That's a great idea. I think they have done that in the past but not as part of the Golden Hitch award.

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

thefiercecanuck if you check out their channel, they do that.

[@AveryExcavating]

Great video guys! I dug into exact comparisons between GM, Ford and Ram. Interestingly they are all within 1200lbs max gooseneck/5th wheel combos. Fords comparable model to the GM you just tested has a max of 23,500, same axles, dually and 4x4. This truck you just tested maxes out at 23,200lbs. The Ram is only at 25,500lbs for a comparable truck. (all this info is right off of each manufacturers website, all with 3.73 gears, diesel, and their most HD transmission). I thought it was interesting in the ford vs ram mashup about a year ago Ford put the ram up against a 450...I mean, why not just put a a ford Super duty diesel up against a Gm or Ram gas half ton and get the same result? The point Id like to share is that I think it's interesting Ram and Ford claim to have FAR higher payload/towing capacities than they actually are. Right when you go to Ram's website they claim "Ram 3500HD Hauls and tows Up To 39,000lbs" WTF no way...That's a decent heavy load even for a big rig! It seems like consumers are led to believe, "Hey If I get a ram or ford i'll be able to pull 30k all day no problem". When In reality, there is no way I would consistently pull over 25k with any of the big 3 if I wanted them to last. The numbers game between them on who's got the bigger capacities is getting a bit out of hand. I think GM takes the win overall as they are very up front with their max towing capabilities to their customers. All in all, the new HD trucks are pretty phenomenal for what they're capable of. However, I think its pretty crazy to consistently** pull much more than 25k with a 3500/350 pickup truck. I'm actually pleasantly surprised the Dmax beat the ram by 10 seconds. I thought ram would take the win by 30 seconds or so. Looks like GM puts the power to the ground better than the Ram. Where's the Ford F350? Oh...wait...Ford didn't give you guys one to test this year. :) Lol. Thanks again for making great videos reviewing and scoring all these trucks TFL.

[@larryspiller15]

some sort of voodoo going on with chevy being the lower powered truck and beating the time. don't really agree with Andre knocking the truck for tow rating when it did better than the ram with a lower rating but oh well.

[@arbiter1]

+larry Spiller Yea its funny when dodge boasts about they have so much torque yet silverado has a bit less less and sstill keeps up and beats the ram. Its not about the power you got its how well the truck uses it. Well Chevy seems to have it nailed pretty good how to use what they got. Image both trucks with same power.

[@larryspiller15]

same senario for the 5.0 vs 5.3. the 5.3 was down on power and a heavier truck and they proceeded to add an additional 500lbs and the truck still out pulled the 5.0

[@seanjanssen7071]

It was probably that bullet proof Alison trans because like you said, the dodge has more hp and more torque plus they both had the same gear ratios so the gearing in the Alison must have played apart in that run.

right?!

[@Saki630]

+jahaziel avitia lol if you are 'mid class' you dont need a 70k truck, you would be smart enough to buy used or buy exactly what you wanted instead. Just because you want it, doesn't mean you should buy it. The kind of people who cant do finances and purchase items they otherwise don't need are people those who havent made it out of the lower class - majority since '08.

Get the base model then. Plus if you pay MSRP your dumb. These are 60 or lower

[@frankmagana1408]

Some people use these trucks for their job, whoch is hauling shit and paying bills. Some want to be comfortable as possible. You can get a nicely equipped one for $55k. Or you can get a work truck equipped one for $45k

[@larry8065]

+jahaziel avitia People who run these types of hauling businesses aren't middle class. Also, nobody is forcing you to buy a loaded 'High Country', you can buy a WT diesel for tens of thousands less.

[@charliesnipes7313]

On long hills like this you need to lock out 5th gear and keep the shifts to 1-4 to keep rpms up and stay in the power curve. This is what you would do on any truck to get the best towing capability on hills out of it

[@TTCoyoteF150]

+Charlie Snipes They specifically don't do this to test the factory software shifting strategy. It's a test of the truck, not the driver.

[@arbiter1]

+Charlie Snipes They use i think tow haul mode if truck has it and leaves it completely up to the truck to manage it all. Not everyone is a pro driver that can do all that. As other guy said its about testing the truck itself how it does not the driver.

[@CrypticDream]

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

[@mikekempchinsk3400]

So the dodge has tons more power numbers wise is rated to tow almost 7k more but is slower towing the same 22k as the chevy and the down hill control is less with 22k than the chevy... sounds like the dodge would do great with 30k behind it lol

[@PrimE-E88]

The max tow ratings are complete bullshit. I don't even know why they tell them anymore. That chevy can haul just as much if not more than the ram. Obviously after this video it can probably haul more unless the ram has some serious low end torque specifically for farm work

[@aristein88]

so, how do you know if the load is balanced, how much weight is on the tongue, etc.?

[@Ron-Noc]

How do you think this truck compares to a 2015 GMC denali with the same drive train 3500 drw?

[@andrewmartens8574]

in reality for 99% of people this means very little. I am a dodge fan first but was raised a chevy kid. Most people will never need to tow 30k on a regular basis. These trucks are getting so powerful and advanced you could pretty much just buy based on ride quality and styling alone. I will be looking into a 3/4 ton when the time comes. Crazy to see how quickly these vehicles are progressing now.

[@MrBrockberg]

how can the ram have 900 torque & the chevy only 765 & the chevy beat it up the hill. I wanna see a dyno chart at the wheels power between the 2

[@bahamatodd]

Torque doesn't mean anything. Horsepower determines performance and there is only 12hp difference between them. With all the variables in the environment, and only 10 seconds separating them, they had almost identical performance.

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

+brett johnson area under the curve is more important than max number. obviously, the duramax has better torque figures outside of that max quoted number. Yes it's not as powerfull, but it's more evenly powerfull over a wide curve and thus wins in overall performance. Isuzu always maximized it's design for a broad powerband even in their cars back then. Same principle used when they designed the first duramax

[@BigDave12768]

Traffic on hill. And these guys are bias and have made comments that had to back off Ram so they wouldn't be speeding. Watch the Ram videos

[@PrimE-E88]

I think Chevrolet knew exactly what they were doing when they helped Isuzu make the drama

[@jaysson1151]

Any gas powered Heavy/Super duties this year? I haven't seen the Ford Super Duty do a run since Kent ran his 2012 up a couple years ago.

[@nmelkhunter1]

I would like to see a test up the Ike Gauntlet using a Chevy/GMC, Dodge and Ford with their respective diesels towing a fifth wheel camper vs. a goose neck of equivalent weight. I have always wondered how much drag would effect the time in each case.

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

135 less lb-ft yet 10sec faster up the hill than the dodge. Also better exhaust and trans braking, and 5k cheaper. We need something better than hp and torque at single points to rate vehicules. In this instance, the chevy has a lot more area under the torque curve that makes up for the lower "freeze frame" maximun torque.

[@HulkSmash86]

+Veikra You make a great point that a friend of mine who owns & runs a dyno tuning business always says to people. "It's the power under the curve that matters the most." Meaning the peak numbers can be very misleading on any stock or modified engine.

[@HarlekinN57]

dont the chevy silverado 3500hd dually makes 445HP n around 910 torque with the 6.6 v8 diesel?

[@Travesty_INC]

[@daltonsmith9976]

I probably should have mention this about the Ford F-150 with aluminum body that less weight on you suspension components and brake wear on the truck.

[@randallemerson92]

I would love to have one. the things I do with my 2013 1500 series Silverado v6 would scare most people

[@rudolphna54]

You should test towing with less towing-centric vehicles. IE Ford Escape, RAV4, etc

[@rudolphna54]

People who occasionally tow lighter trailers and don'e need a fucking 3500HD to do it, and would like to know what the best vehicle for lighter trailers would be.

[@rudolphna54]

I haven't checked on the new ones, but the 2011 and earlier with the 3.0L V6 had tow ratings up to 3,500LB. I know, I did it when I moved. And you'd be surprised how not-boring it is, having 3,000lb behind a 3500lb vehicle, even braked. The V6 certainly had to work quite hard, especially uphill.

[@charlesstevenson5141]

What kind of dumbshit comment is this? And to ask such then why aren't you searching for what you just asked else where rather than on a video about one ton trucks? That makes zero sense.

[@tysonreidful]

Why did Andre pick the ram? It has a inferior exhaust brake and it was slower! Did he pick it because what it's supposed to be able to tow? You can't tell me that if the Rams tow capacity is 30k the Chevys shouldn't be 31k, they just proved the Chevy outpulls the Cummins even though it's lack of numbers on paper!

[@seanjanssen7071]

Exactly, you can't make choices based on numbers alone, it's like the Ike test between the 2500 Chevy 6.0 gas and ram 6.4 gas, the ram had better numbers on paper but the Chevy out pulled it.

[@gjolinares23]

whats the point of testing the same trucks after just a year if no updates have been made? I'm waiting to see what the next GM twins gas and diesel trucks will have to offer. I would love to see a all new or revamped 6.0 (or maybe 6.2?) with a 8 speed 8l90 and a better duramax and new allison to beat the new powerstroke up.

[@charlesstevenson5141]

Give it time and the powerstrokes will show their poor longevity as they always do. However if you go through the videos, take note that there were some changes. Very light changes, but there were some.

[@whatever04811]

I'm a little worried for GM. Ram 3500 has announced 900 lb ft torgue and Silverado 3500 only 756.

[@dougp2534]

It's amazing that a truck that produces less power and torque, beats the 2016 Ram3500 (CLAIMED 385 hp and 900 LB. FT. Torque) is 10 seconds slower and the 2015 Ford F350 (CLAIMED 440 HP AND 860 LB. FT. Torque) is only 4 seconds faster. That really sucks that the Ford makes 44hp and 65lb. ft of torque more than the Duramax was only 4 seconds faster. Cannot wait for the 2017 Duramax. I have someone close to me thats an engineer at Duramax. The 2017 engine will be a monster. Typical chevrolet underrating what their truck can actually do.

[@Mathicuss]

+Doug P I love the DMAX. In 90% of all videos the dmax usually ends up winning.

[@Spahi77]

Got m e a '15 2500 LTZ with sunroof, bedliner, etc., i will never use it in its full capacity. Chevy and Dodge like to play the hp numbers game. The chevy is at the end of its run for 2016, and 17s will be a new setup, and would not be surprised to see 1K ft lbs. I personally wouldnt buy the redesigned DMAX until they work out the bugs, as all new builds have their issues. The LML is essentially a solid build from factory. I bought my truck at a decent price break (62 sticker for 52+tax) , but if they keep climbing the price, most likely i will be getting used in the future...so if they retailing near 70...thats a stretch even for me...

[@arbiter1]

+MrJwh3000 a dyno run of the trucks probably shead some light on how it works that way. probably would guess that ram has a small peak area and gets out that peak quick where duramax might have a larger curve and stays in the power band better. Just a guess but seems logical or just better drive train design for the chevy.

[@militarychevy711]

+arbiter1 Your right, All inline 6's have a very short torque curve. An inline 6 will gain torque very quickly and then carry it for a short time and drop it. V8's gain torque slower but carry it longer and at a higher RPM. The older Cummins diesels were Much better though as environmentalists weren't controlling America.

[@The02CumminsRAM]

The ram has 135 more torque, but the Chevy has 12 more horsepower

[@alrefaei82]

please do towing test with chevy tahoe pleeeeeease

[@HighSpeedFudd762]

You can't say ten seconds is any slower. Many factors could've contributed to that like traffic, conditions, and the driver. Statistically speaking 10 seconds isn't really a difference. This isn't a half mile drag race buddy. It's an 8 mile towing test. The only thing the Chevy really had over the Ram was the downhill part. Other than the Ram was better in every way. More luxurious interior, better mileage, more features, and better capability.

[@seanjanssen7071]

Exactly, ten seconds is within the margin of error so they both are pretty much even going up, but the Chevy out performs the ram going downhill, just because on paper the ram has a higher towing capacity, does not mean that it is way more capable, in this real world comparison, the Chevy beat the ram.

[@HighSpeedFudd762]

+Sean Janssen If I remember correctly Kent didn't have to be full throttle near as much in the ram as the Chevy. That's why this test isn't scientific by any means. If they had access to a private open track or course that mimicked the Ike guant and they didn't have to comply with a speed limit the Ram would've run a better time.

[@huntingfishingandshooting3598]

TeenageReloader7.62 how was it better in every way if there was traffic and everything it ain’t no quarter mile drag race

[@jackthefarmer8516]

Whats better ram or chevy

[@dankruger2890]

heres my view, give me a engine that has been tested with years on the road and I will buy it. Every time ram or ford beefs up there trucks with horse power and torque, they leave me thinking about problems that are unseen and untested. I am proud that chevy stuck with a proven engine and is still within seconds of there competitors going up the ike gauntlet that have changed there engines torque and horse power in the last two years. I simply don't trust diesel engines that aren't proven.

[@ih1206]

GM needs to shit or get off the pot and play ball with Ram. I like them both but they need to compete more. I know Kent is a professional driver, but that 55 gallon barrel in the back of the Denali kinda scares me strapped in the center of the bed, especially going up that grade. Things can work loose going down the road.

[@Spahi77]

i think gm going to be bringing in 1k ft lbs for their hd diesels...as its in tune with their redesign.

[@gamebredduramax2577]

duramax is the best diesel truck out there rite now! everyone talks about rams 800lb ft tq,and fords 400+ hp powerstroke,those are just paper #s that dont mean jack,they both lose more hp tq through there weak drivelines then what they have over the duramax on paper,the allison transmission simply tranfers more power to the wheels then the other guys,and the exhaust brake is the best out of all of them,and as far as the towe capacity,all of the 350 duallys were severely under rated for what they are capable of,dodge is just the 1st to put it on paper,gm guy told me they put the lower capacity on there to be able to sell to everyone,over a certain weight ur suposed to have a showfers driver license atleast,on up with air brakes and such.

[@The02CumminsRAM]

The Rams torque is actually 900lb ft tq, which makes it look even worse. Also the Rams exhaust break should've performed a lot better, TFL messed up in my opinion by putting it in full mode, which is not as good as automatic mode that holds the speed no matter what.

[@gamebredduramax2577]

The02CumminsRAM tru there 900 now,but back win powerstroke,and cummins upped the power levels over the 390hp 765 tq of the dmax,everyone watched the dmax still beat the competition up an offroad grade towing contest,full throttle from dead stop to the top,called king of the hill,all the trucks pulled the same trailer same wieght and drag race to the top,dmax was underpowerd then and still won the race.

[@HighSpeedFudd762]

Right*

[@williamharden8811]

For the price verses the engine gear ratio's. needs more "HOSS POWUH" ! Need better ((utility size scale trailers))....

[@Thirsting4Jizz]

Using the same clip of the scoring overview on every video is both lazy and annoying for subscribers who watch every one.

[@aujla7564]

always skip every time!!!

[@Oddssss]

skip it then, lazy ass

[@pfarraldcash6095]

spoiled brat

[@FireFallunltd]

I thoroughly appreciate the absolute stoner laugh out of the guy when he said "were als here in high counntry" 😂

[@aky19832001]

It's better than anything dodge or ford has to offer. It's better quality and gar more realiable.

[@mattieice4689]

And yet, it loses almost every competition...and trails in sales

[@zachf355]

Dont get me wrong i like andre but i like roman and mr truck doing the ike just a better combination.

[@WhatsNext801]

I agree, not a fan of Andre at all.

[@MattSchmader]

@thefastlanetruck фантастическое видео ! ты лучший

[@dustinshepard3166]

I have a 2016 high country 3500 and I think its funny how the dodge has "more" torque and rated more to tow but the Chevy whooped its ass up and down hill numbers dont mean anything all bout real world tests😂😂

[@Jharp82]

GM could have given this truck curb appeal

[@BigDGolf-23]

I don't know why i find this so interesting, but i do. lol

[@gavinsteiling5571]

The ram 3500 is way better looking and has way more power!

[@arbiter1]

+Gavin Steiling way more power but was 10 sec Slower up the hill? Yea shows it don't matter how much power it has if it doesn't use it right.

[@militarychevy711]

+Gavin Steiling You need to learn about engines buddy.

[@HighSpeedFudd762]

+arbiter1 you can't say ten seconds is any slower. Many factors could've contributed to that like traffic, conditions, and the driver. Statistically speaking 10 seconds isn't really a difference. This isn't a half mile drag race buddy. It's an 8 mile towing test.

[@seanjanssen7071]

Ten seconds is within the margin of error, but this goes to show that paper numbers don't mean everything and the duramax and Alison trans out preformed the ram

[@christianrosas3188]

+TeenageReloader7.62 Not to defend Ram either, but to add to what you are saying; the Ram had more weight with Nathan (250+300), 4:10 axle weighs more than a 3:73, and I could be wrong but the air suspensions came out I remember a lot of the complaints were they weighed to much affecting MPG's. This is also Rams choice but there could be part of your 10 seconds.

[@jamaalme6961]

I would like to see you guys do this he'll pull test in the summertime when the temperature is little warmer to compare the cooling systems

[@jacobm9574]

why are fords so expensive but they can barely tow 20k pounds?

[@mattieice4689]

Why are you inaccurate with your facts? The 2015 F350 owns the IKE record...and had 22000 behind it Now, what is it you were saying?

[@Mebob2001]

GM could easly tow alot more weight if they would just do what ram and ford id, lower gear ratio. anyways all 3 get the job done pick the one you want

[@aaronjones8341]

true.. IMO the Chevy is the best looking... but I like the power of the Ram and Powerstroke

[@Mebob2001]

Aaron Jones i have driven all 3, me myself and i was sadly disappointed with the 6.7 powerstroke. and i have towed with a cummins and had 25k and a duramax and a powerstroke all on the same day with same 5th wheel trailer. guess what ALL 3 DID THE SAMETHING. they slowed down to 50 mph on the long grade went up in rpm's and stayed there till the top! but the cummins did get alot warmer then the other 2 for some reason but minor details

[@badboyzbihh3144]

I wish you guys could delete each truck you test and Have them tuned to similar power and do the tests my 16 3500 was a slouch before she got in to weight loss !😂

[@hounddog2952]

Ford or Dodge can not match the power of the DirtyMax 1500 , 2500 or 3500 HD ..........

[@jesseschoenfelder6455]

There is no 1500 duramax there Joey.

[@hounddog2952]

+Jesse Schoenfelder My name is Ryan , Jesse ... " Ford or Dodge can not match the power of a Chevy " !! How's at ?

[@peaceondeath2319]

+hounddog2952 Dodge will outpull any truck out there. Do some research.

[@hounddog2952]

peace deathupon EATS DODGE SHITS FORDS ... #ChevyUp YEEYEE

[@jmg_2_slow74]

+peace deathupon Cummins will dodge is just there to look pretty

[@InTooDeeep]

That Denali tho

[@jackthefarmer8516]

Memo its not a denail

[@justinwaite26]

the chevs are nice trucks but stock they have the ugliest wheels and that stupid bazooka exhaust...the interior is nice looking but there's a sense of cheapness....and who ever pick out the button and switch placement should lose their jobs...the trailer brake control...totally in the wrong place and the switches in the centre...they put the pedal adjustment closest to the driver..and the exhaust brake furthest away....stupid

[@Stonemasters11]

TFL, get rid of this Redundant Procedure of explaining the scoring system. Make a separate video with a link if someone needs to know. Like someone below mentioned it's lazy and getting pretty annoying.

[@user-gr4jn2sw3q]

If the ram is suppose to be no good why is it ford and Chevy are compared to is so much?

[@Troys0werid0moments]

Test a Shelby F-150!!

[@wademckenney6858]

it would break down

[@frankmagana1408]

+Wade McKenney if it has an ecoboost, its a given, but if it has a v8, it will be fine

[@mikeforce1890]

their tests are not valid. different loads, different driving styles.

[@nestr2007]

@jahaziel avitia come to texas even I say wtf di these people do to afford these things
