2023 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 Review | Is this new flagship pick-up $50K better than a Ranger Raptor?

[@carsales]

Hi Fans, 1:36 - Feann says the Silverado is built in Mexico, this is not the case, it’s built in North America.

[@zotto3509]

Mexico is North America. I bought mine and when I called to ask about the status they said it was shipping from Mexico.

[@NGGPeter]

For one thing, Mexico IS in North America. You also call it a "turbo petrol" on the screen at 3:32 it's naturally aspirated. Then at 3:55 you say that the engine can run on 2 cylinders when it only has a V4 mode.

[@callumfreebairn8082]

how could someone be so naive?😕(rhetorical question)

[@KCSM_1200]

@@zotto3509 I am from Mexico and I did not know that they assembled Chevrolet Silverado for Australia and India

[@goyasmind]

Hi, As a Mexican here, living in Mexico, I can attest to the fact, that we do make these. I work on them here in Mexico, which is not North America.

[@chileshemubanga3594]

Besides The Front & Rear Diff-Locks,That Front Bumper Design Is One Of The Top Reasons I Dig ❤️ The ZR2 1500 Silverado.

[@behindthebuild8016]

Struggle to park a normal ranger in some car parks due to the tight spaces can’t imagine these

[@lachlanmaple4868]

Why do we miss out on the single cab versions they get in the US? A single cab would be way more useful with bigger tray. Also they have a shorter length so would be easier to park and turn in city areas. Better on off road tracks also. Also they look way cooler - like the pick ups of old. Ditch the Double Cab!

[@oversteer46]

100 percent.

[@roberth3979]

I came in here to ask who compares the Silverado ZR2 to a Ranger? Then I realized you guys are Australian, and I realize your overlanding culture is on another level, lol.

[@goyasmind]

We're better than you in every single way. As is our culture, land and people.

[@badmojohawk]

@@goyasmindThat would be easier to believe if you weren't making questionable comparisons. What's next? Look at how this orange performs against a TikTok video? 😂

[@simranbanga5467]

Seeing more and more these big bad American trucks on road now. Seems like small Ute trend is on the decline and big Utes are back in action. Big Utes do look good and useful tho

[@purestyleconstruction4041]

great video, covered everything i needed to know

[@lachlanmaple4868]

Best looking truck available. Only downside is the hefty price but hey the instant asset write off is still on!

[@lueyR]

No it's not its 20,000, now

[@jtob5032]

I have the Trail Boss (previous version of the ZR2).... and I love it. Ranger is nothing special

[@electricdiesel1993]

Add a supercharger on a 6.2 V8 as Silverado ZL1 since Camaro ZL1.

[@statethis]

biggest let down i found was features that were removed and cant have extras fitted before being shipped to aus

[@MidnightPursuit]

In my experience Native sat nav is useless bro…google maps on carplay…and hud never been a fan…sign recognition would be nice tho…considering selling my numbered VF to get one of these

[@lachlanmaple4868]

Hopefully a rear cover or canopy will be available soon.

[@davecarter34]

Payload is poor, 3 blokes and 3 trailbikes plus gear for the weekend. You would be over the 717kg or right on it, did they move the bonnet release to the right ?

[@thomasquinn1603]

Great review. I’m interested to know what the towing capacity of the equivalent truck is in the US? We always seem to get ripped off in AUS.

[@keanubell5260]

Aussie laws are a lot harsher but also a lot safer. But I also agree it should be more.

[@brookesnuts]

When will we get RHD converted by the manufacturer like the Mustang Paying this much is a joke

[@matthewh8005]

Never, people buy these at these at this price so its not worth it. And so few of them are sold anyway its a drop in the ocean for Chev, RAM and Ford so its just not worth the investment for them

[@judyyoung115]

Can you tell us more about the AFM and are we going to have the same problems that are being encountered in the States. or can it be delegated.

[@fabyain]

Under 'OUTPUT' it is listed as a turbo petrol but it is then stated as Naturally Aspirated, so which is it? Turbo or NA?

[@nth842]

Na for the 6.2 turbo for the 3.0

[@callumfreebairn8082]

an incredible pickup truck

[@Rob-yv2xf]

Hopefully your ZR2 dosent need a new steering rack at under 10000 miles!! My truck 2023 has been in 6 weeks waiting for a new rack , GM is terrible !!!

[@ssinistervy9612]

I like the look of these but much prefer the interior of my RAM.

[@jview70]

"ZED" R2 bro :) , or you'll have to start saying a case a case of beer and saying "Magen" instead of Megan.

[@wtfa2910]

Buying hotcakes is more expensive than buying this truck

[@willnewby5204]

For a petrol engine with an extremely limited warranty these rigs can make no sense to anyone that is looking for value.

[@GameProgrammer79]

For the price of one Silverado ZR2, you may have four Mahindra Scorpio N.

[@AK-vk6wg]

I like it!

[@user-el5bo3wy1z]

did he just say ZEEEEE

[@jview70]

yes he did 🤦‍♂

[@mvnorsel6354]

If your short and bald, its ideal😅.

[@saab5055]

my holden hq ute had a 1.3t payload in the 1970's , this beast only gets 717kg payload overblown waste of space.

[@EdMiF]

How much does it tow?

[@saab5055]

@@EdMiF towings only useful if its a boat or caravan, they are selling these things in aus as tradie upsizers and my ute need to carry atleast 1t of gear on a day to day basis , the only time i tow anything, is a trailer of gear when the job parking gets tight and i gotta bring another tradie and all his crap.

[@stickers8447]

Not really overblown waste of space though, is it? I’m a tradie with constant interstate work. It’s hard to find something with good overtaking power, comfortable for 10+ hour drives, good towing capability etc.. so it’s definitely applicable to a lot of people

[@matthewh8005]

@@saab5055then its not the car for you is it?

[@saab5055]

49 years ago, in 1974 holden(gm) made a ute that would carry 1000kg 2024 they make a pickup that couldn't even carry the hq, as car companies age they should get better not more shit. that was my point .

[@seadoomania]

The f150 raptor is 260 k plus on road cost

[@Cruelaid]

2024.... Price check isle 3

[@jboy2787]

I like the American version better 🙄

[@malsmith2012]

Is it aspirated or Turbo? Your flag said turbo petrol at 3.31

[@carsales]

Hi Mal, it's aspirated, we put the wrong graphic in there. Sorry about that

[@azzamatic4190]

Worst time to launch a expensive gas guzzling truck

[@stickers8447]

Why’s that?

[@jbute]

So over priced

[@colmherbie8261]

I can't watch the whole video as I just wish you guys would be honest. It's a terrible truck! for australia. If carsales actually tells the truth and admits that, they will never get a car/truck to review again. it's all very bias so you get advertising money etc.. NO proper bumper for kangaroos/cattle/deer--terrible truck. NO winch--terrible truck. NOT even 650 nm torque--terrible truck. NO sidesteps --terrible truck. NO sports bar --terrible truck. NO accessories--terrible truck. NO capped servicing--terrible truck. 3 year warranty--terrible truck. Lack of service centers--terrible truck. When are car reviewers actually going to start telling the truth and actually say when a car/truck is terrible and don't buy it. Honesty is always best

[@dshiningsword2427]

At that price nothing beats to Land Cruiser.....

[@lueyR]

Land cruisers are v6 now, I towed a boat from Brisbane in one.... it was absolutely useless Ri

[@setharp]

Why are these so damned expensive there?!

[@matthewh8005]

Because Chev has to make their profit on the original sale, then it has to be shipped here, then it has to be RH converted then GMSV has to get their profit from that, then the dealer has to get their profit after its shipped to them. Its pretty obvious why they are this expensive. If they were made RH at the factory and shipped to the dealer it would cheaper for us as the buyer but the insanely low amount that would sell compared to what sells in the US is just not worth it for the Big Three to consider making these RH in factory
