The MYTHICAL TRUCK gets hitched to the Vanleigh RV! 2020 Chevy 3500HD Work Truck!

[@nbrowser]

JD, remember when the typical pick up body config was a regular cab with a 8 foot bed? This looks classic!

[@BTBRVReviews]

I sure do! And I remember when I first started seeing extended and crew cabs become more popular and thought "man those trucks look strange being so long".

[@michaelfowler8174]

@@BTBRVReviews Yep me to. Still don't like the crew cabs (want a four door? by a station wagon). extended was okay, but then Ram went four doors crew cab or just straight cab not one bed is eight feet long? kiss my rosy red rump. yes it's red AFTER you kiss it!

[@VegasGuy1975]

I still remember when working at Ford, we knew it was a custom Centurion Conversion when a 4 door F250/350 came in. Now it’s nearly impossible to find a single cab!

Actually Ram made a single cab 8 foot bed. At least they did in 2018. I own one.

My 2016 F350 crew cab dually with no weight in the bed is down right violent going down the freeway (concrete freeway). Smooth as glass on asphalt.

[@hutterite1]

I love regular cabs for towing. On the farm, you rarely use the crew cab to it's full ability. Most of the time, it's you and a helper. At the most. Plus visibility to the bed is the biggest bonus, especially when hooking up. You got used to that waaaaaaaaay before cameras came around

[@3920cruz]

me likey! Reminds me of the old days in the 70s & 80s when P/U tks were regular cabs and the xtendeds and crews were no where to be seen!

[@joshuaskirvin]

There were extended cabs and four door trucks in the 70's and the 80's. My second truck was a 77 Supercab long bed F150.

I just purchased a 2020 Chevy 3500, High Country, crew cab, long bed. Black, beautiful truck. Haven’t towed anything with it yet. But yes when you hit bumps it feels like a tank. I’m going to nickname it Sherman.

[@Bostonharborwater]

Such an Awsome truck. It’s totally what I don’t need. My 1/2 ton. Double cab. 6.5 bed is perfect for what I use it for but I’ve always loved the look of single cab duallys. That’s a true hauler right there. Great video.

[@kylancook3477]

What kind of mpg do you get with this setup?

[@rzr-sm2fk]

@@kylancook3477 10-11 mpg whether your towing or empty. The 6.0 might get 12 empty if you play nice but rapidly drops with a load. So 8.1 and 6.0 will get same mpg towing but the 8.1 will do the work easier and at much less rpms therefore equaling a more pleasant towing experience similar to diesels of it's time period

[@EckdahlWrestling]

I'm impressed at how quiet the truck is. When you were lowering the fifth wheel down, I thought maybe you had just turned down the truck noise in post-processing your video, but then I heard you get back in. Clearly, it wasn't just movie magic.

[@sdjrinc.6921]

That's my problem with these HD trucks is that for max towing you have to get a 2dr rwd dually, when people are spending money on these they want 4dr and 4x4, I have the 2020 GMC Sierra Denali 2500 duramax diesel 4dr 4x4 and I love it

[@mattsmith3305]

Great video. I agree with your comment regarding the lack of storage in the center console, otherwise it's a very nice truck. Looking forward to your next video. Can you please let us know how level the fifth wheel is after you adjust the height of the Curt hitch and have everything connected. . As you know, the newer pickups have between 2 and 3 inches of ride height, and the spring rates seem to be higher, resulting in less sag when loaded.

[@eds5538]

Usually I'm here for the channel's intended purpose, the RV's and trucks. But I spot a sweet Jeep CJ7 in the barn there!

[@gangrene58]

Very impressed even when I hate the way these trucks look

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Fill it with fuel scale it out on a cat scale. Put the fith wheel in the Sweet spot where the steer axle and rear axle is grossed out. On my single axle freightliner the fifthwheel was roughlt in a sight line Lining up where the wheel rim and tire meet. If your steer axle is too light you'll have a push and bouncy front end.

[@stout_tossme7541]

This truck with 4x4 (for me) and a small slide in camper (even tho it can handle huge). That fota my style. I really like the single cab. I almost wonder if a flatbed and a cargo box wouldn't be the better way to go for towing? Due to the amount of payload this truck has.

[@calebgotschall1788]

I have the 2020 2500 work truck package but in a crew cab and if you flip the rear view mirror up with the lever on the bottom, it turns into a camara screen that looks into the bed for hooking up fifth wheel and giose neck hitches

[@MikeC19100]

Overall that’s a decent looking truck and interior. It’s unfortunate that the hitch was too low for a. Test drive, but the next video on this setup should be interesting. Have you done any calculations on the Hitch Pin solar panel output yet? I can’t recall if you added that or if it came with the RV, but it looks like a very good idea for added solar charging on the road between sites.

Thanks for another good review as always, I just got a 2021GMC HD 3500 truck. I am pulling a Drv, that uses 17.5 tires which requires 120 psi cold. My problem is the GM set up screen says tire sensors can only be used up to 100 psi, is this true? Also another problem I’m having with my new truck is that when I hook up to the fifth wheel I get a message on the screen saying the wiring is not correct. They say the turn signal is not working right and the back up lights are not working right. After doing some research I found out they say that some fifth wheels have too many LED lights that don’t draw enough power to work correctly. I can’t understand this. But I want to get rid of this message on my information screen of the truck Dash. Very disappointing.
