I paid 31 for it brand new ford makes something similar called the SXT package both look the part of an upper trim truck and don’t make u feel like ur driving in a cardboard box going down the road so yes they do exist.

[@icu_corey_rn_903]

I’m not a rich guy by any means and getting a deal at 31 with a trade in on my old truck and 2 thousand down makes a truck like that very affordable u could even opt for a double cab and save a few bucks there but I have kids and needed the back seat room

[@MidMoTundra]

GM really dropped the ball with the small gas tank. 26 and 28 gallon fuel tank is not enough, especially when you tow in remote areas where gas stations are few and far between.

[@sreilly]

My 2016 has a 26 gallon fuel tank, and I get about 15-17mpg on the highway when towing. Although my 2003 had a 36 gallon fuel tank (which was nice), I would only get 10 mpg when towing with that truck. So my 2016 was going further with the 26 gallon tank than my 2003 with a 36 gallon tank. Although, it would be nice to have a larger tank like the Fords have. I wonder if it has something to do with weight reduction to achieve better fuel economy. You're guess is a good as mine.

[@MidMoTundra]

sreilly how heavy of trailer are you towing on the highway? My experience towing with a 2016 5.3/6 speed/3.42 it got 9 mpg and it struggled to hold 65 up a hill with a 6000 pound tritoon boat behind it. On the highway the 26 gallon tank is perfectly fine as these trucks get good fuel economy unloaded. I’m sure GM did t for weight reduction, but seems silly that a larger gas tank isn’t an option.

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

maybe its the object your towing, its not the weight that always matters. I tow 7,000 consistently about once a month i live in the PNW very mountainous terrain , my ,,,,5.3/6 speed/3.42/4wd/crew cab,,,, got 12mpg pretty routinely again that's towing through the mountains. Towing a low deck car hauler and a slammed truck. truck weighs over 4k trailer should be around 3k so 7k ish. maybe more. i would get up to 15/16 mpg on the very flat areas.

[@CarsAndZebras]

Can you believe you can get a 38 gallon tank in a Tundra??? Massive.

[@sreilly]

Cars And Zebras damn! I once had a '94 Cheyenne that had a 44 gallon tank. I would starting pumping fuel when it was low, and pull out the newspaper and start reading. It was painful watching the cost of that fuel for a truck that may be got 12 mpg haha!

[@MrJamesgrate]

Everyone seems to enjoy criticizing GM interiors and exterior so much, I'm baffled. I am drawn to the basics, a pick-up truck should have a V8 engine, or diesel engine for towing, today's pick-up trucks are now being manufacture with twin turbo charged V6, V4's, 5 years down the line, how reliable can these engines be? I'm a die hard GM fan, because GM engines are (Naturally Aspirated), No technology to create more horse power, just simple (V8) engine ability. I have the Chevy Silverado crew cab with the (5.3) V8 and it pulls wonderfully, and when it's not working or pulling a load, the tires scream when I punch the accelerator from a dead stop, a testament to what a pick up should do, In my opinion the 5.3 or 6.2 liter engine in a GM truck, is truly a mans' TRUCK!!!!!!!!! Wonderful review TFL, but remember, the average man does not want to spend a whole lot of time at the dealership trying to figure out what went wrong with one of the (turbo) ports, when he can be preparing to pull the next load with a GM truck!!!!!

[@tritchie6272]

Personally I find it weird that the more powerful truck is rated to tow less. They should have fixed whatever they needed to for the 6.2 to tow at least the same if not more.

[@squirtsomedirt3161]

T Ritchie its all based on axle weight. The heavyer the engine and tranny combe means the less you can tow. Adding heavy leather seats amd other fancy stuff means it can tow even less.

[@rudygonzales3589]

E.DUNN but would you say the 6.2L would last longer if maintained well?, and would it tow better within its tow range?

[@jakerton97]

Damn that 6.2 has some ass behind it lol. I generally don’t like GM, but nothing is better than a American traditional v8. Something ford needs to do is add another v8 option instead of those pathetic ecoboosts.

Chevy's are always kicking it towing - MPG better than ford turbo, totally reliable while two Fords have broken down on TFL, yet Roman always comes out with these nitpicks about button placement or the gas tank.

Well let's be honest, Roman has clearly been a Ford guy most if not all of his life. He probably hasn't looked at all the issues the Ecoboosts have and he wouldn't risk mentioning it in a video. The 2016-17 2.7 Ecoboosts have some major problems with the heads and the 3.5 Ecoboost was notorious for stretched timing chains, cam phaser issues, thrown rods, turbo failures, misfires, etc.

[@samuelclark9909]

ib516 those hemis are broke down for the most part now, the early 2000s dodges had horrible transmissions, you see tons of those old 5.3s with over 200k on them still running, 355 hp and 383 ftlbtqe is plenty of power with 8 gears to go through, you don't need maximum power everyday, if you want more power get a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton truck, that 5.3 with 8 gears is plenty for the average pick up owner, yeah hemis are good engines but when they are paired to the most unreliable transmissions, what's the point? I assume the transmission issue is fixed now but idk, I worked for a company that had lots of fleet trucks it was a mixture of the big 3, and the most unreliable were the rams, they would stay broke down, the Cummins did fine, the gas trucks were horrible, we had a powerstroke that was junk you hooked a trailer to it and every time it blew the turbo, the most reliable truck they had was a 2012 4.8 liter Chevy 375k miles and the old 4 speed transmission both were original, as far as I know the truck is still on the road, and the truck is dogged, it's over loaded more than it is underloaded, plus since it has flashing lights it idles all day long except for at gas stations and lunch break, the 4.8s are the same motor as the 5.3, the only difference is the 5.3 has scoped pistons and the 4.8 has flat top pistons, if those ls motors were junk people wouldn't be doing ls swapps on everything.

[@CBooge2]

Samuel Clark 4.8 is also a shorter stroke than the 5.3. Dished pistons do not equate to lower displacement. I do however, agree with you. Those ls based small blocks have certainly proven to be a totally reliable engine.

[@lannieschafroth6814]

I drive only E85 and with my 5.3 I have 380Hp with 420lbs of torque. I do lose MPG for that extra power but on a no wind day I can still squeak out 19-20mpg with E85. Not so much with a head wind! :) I have a 2015 GMC Sierra All-Terrain and I must say both new models are BUTT ugly.

Been there....the sticker was full up....loving it...

[@anthonywebber2211]

Sorry Kent, but the 6.2 is physically the same size as the 5.3, the only difference is the 6.2 has a bigger bore

[@LBJMedia]

as a GM guy, the new dodge is much more appealing

[@donleamon8653]

Well, Dodge doesn't make trucks anymore, but I know what you're saying, and agree.

[@ericmartin894]

their quality is garbage tho.

[@powderslayer]

LBJ Media Iam a Ford guy and the new ram is pretty nice waiting for the new eco!

[@dumluk1984]

The GMC Sierra looks way better than this Silverado.

[@bkranz-1283]

The smart thing to do is to not get a 2019 ram 1500 and wait until 2021 or so when all the bugs should get worked out. I already hear common issues with the 19's like the infotainment bugging out. I appreciate that Dodge, or in this case ram is always stirring the pot in the truck market but it sadly has left the brand with a bad reputation for quality. E-torque is sure to have issues down the road as well. It just can't be perfect on their first try. I could never buy a ram with e-torque until it's well proven.

I have a 7600 pound dry 37 foot travel trailer. I’ve towed it with my 2011 6.2/3.42 geared Silverado then my 2015 3.73 geared Sierra with 5.3. Even though the 5.3 was rated to tow more than the 6.2 it was no where near as good as the 6.2.

[@FishFind3000]

New 1500 looks like a fugly Colorado...

[@craigquann]

My guess is since these trucks as tested have a max tongue weight of ~950lb.... the fiberglass overload spring for the max trailering must help up the tongue weight to ~1200lb... that's the only thing that makes sense to me anyway. Cuz your suppose to have a min of 10% of your trailer as tongue weight....

[@clist9406]

How did this design pass by GM executive ? I hate to see the rejected concepts. Looks like a Toyota with a hacked 88 Chevy front . Body lines do not flow . The team that designed this truck should be fired. FAIL.

[@SDRacing88]

The blacked out front ends look mean. And its about time the rounded the wheel wells. Still curious if they will develope a ZR2 Silverado.....or maybe a Raptor fighter.

[@mikejunk4285]

I just bought a black RST all star edition. Love the look of the front end!

[@keithjohnson3993]

26 gallon tank would be a deal breaker for me when it comes to towing my travel trailer.

[@thethrillofspeed]

Dear GM why do I have to buy the expensive version to get the 6.2? That's why there is a Dodge Tradesman 6.4 in my garage.

I dont really like how it looks. Previous gen was BEAUTIFUL

[@Protein33]

Agreed I bought me a 2019 legacy silverado custom black love the front end 👌

[@thomasdean5651]

If Chevy was serious about towing, they'd add a larger fuel tank for improved range while towing. Ram, Ford, and Toyota offer the large gas tanks. Very necessary for long range. But hey, lets all worry about how big the info screen is.

[@v.l.3553]

Guess its just me, I really like the front end. Only suggestion is to improve interior plastics. But GM makes a hell of a truck!!

[@Punkinspapa]

I'm with you!

[@Protein33]

Looks alright but I like my 2019 custom legacy 5.3 v8 front better 😜

[@robertmoulton2656]

Ya. The steering wheel thing is definitely personal opinion. I like the thin wheel ,it's a throwback to the 70's .

[@Encourageable]

Nice trucks. The new style took awhile to grow on me but now when I compare it to other manufacturers, like Ford and Toyota mostly, they look old. Ram looks ok but I’ll stick with Chevy.

[@thomasnew8606]

[@ulicesalcantar1274]

Thomas New true I had a Samsung j7 and got an iPhone 7 Plus and regret not getting a galaxy s8 Samsung was much easier to use

[@doctube2020]

GM has had the same 26 Gallon gas tank in 1/2 ton 5.8 and 6.6' beds since 1988! The 3/4 ton 2011+ crew 6.6' bed has a 36 gallon tank. (same sheet metal and length) as a half ton crew 6.6'. You think GM could offer at least the 36 gallon.

[@BadmunkyWRX]

I have a 15 2500 with the 36 gallon tank. It would NEVER fit under the 1500. It would be hanging 2+ inches below the frame. They get the extra capacity by making the tank taller do to the taller frame on a 2500. Go look under one that frame is much more substantial on the 2500. The tank is about the same width and length as the 1500. Its just taller. I do agree they could get closer to 30 gallons but there is no way they are getting 36 gallons out of a single tank with the space they have. They would need to dual tank the truck. And thats going to get expensive.

[@murphtheirishmanmurphy7268]

The seat isn’t long enough! Oh cause your such a huge dude. Please. The steering wheel isn’t fat enough! Please Roman stop the silly picking. Oh and the start button is in a weird place, my knee might hit it. Stop!

[@Tupinchepadrewei27]

Chevy should start turbo charging the 6.2 and 5.3 for best in class towing and mpg

[@jantzenmoore2250]

5.3 is slow but reliable, turbo would be bada$$

[@jasonlarsen3515]

Why GM being so lame with the 2019 launch? Incomplete engine line up. Inviting the press to tow with a truck with weak stats and now tow mirrors.

[@WilliamStewart1]

Jason Larsen You don't need tow mirrors to tow a 16 foot enclosed trailer lol. Tow mirrors on a dinky 1500 make me laugh. I don't even have tow mirrors on my power wagon, they look dumb as hell and really don't offer any real benefit. Cameras are so much more useful.

[@austinseubert6047]

@@WilliamStewart1 tow mirrors add 10 hp

[@jasonlarsen3515]

I towed a 26 foot travel trailer with out them as well. However if your a multi billion dollar company launching a new truck......

[@hochhaul]

Weak stats? Since when is a 12,000 lb tow rating "weak"? Weak is a bed made out of thin aluminum held together with rivets It takes time to completely redesign a truck. The 2007-2018 trucks all shared a lot of components, so GM could have a lot more of the trucks ready sooner. The 2019 truck has a totally new frame design, totally new cab, totally new bed, totally new suspension, new 10-speed, new diesel engine, new turbocharged engine, new axles made in Michigan, updated 8-speed, re-designed 5.3 and 6.2, etc. That shit takes time and money, it's not going to be ready all at once. Incomplete engine lineup? How long did it take Ford to even get a 2018 F-150 diesel out for a test drive? Where is the 2019 Ram Ecodiesel? It wasn't too hard for Ram to have more ready at launch, the 5.7 hasn't changed in 10 years and the transmission is supplied by an outside company.

[@maxpow99]

They launched the 2019 way back in 2017 lol. Its an old new truck already.

[@James-w6w2e]

Imagine having to fill 38 gallons with these gas prices

[@Neur0bit]

Only 26 max gal tank? That's a fail on a pickup truck. Specially if you tow.

[@adambrown7741]

Neur0bit I believe for a 1500 truck it’s just about normal. Think ford f150s are smaller and I dont know about dodge.

[@Neur0bit]

Adam Brown Fords you can get 31 or 32 I believe. I have a 33 gal on my 2019 RAM ( or 26)

[@adambrown7741]

Neur0bit Well I have been wrong before. I heard them say you can get a 38 in the tundra? I mean it’s cause the get ass mileage. And honestly the Silverado has had a 26 gallon tank since like 07.

[@Neur0bit]

Adam Brown Yeah, I’ve heard the Tundras have humongous tanks. I didn’t know the chevy’s where so small. Well, not that small, but for a 6.2 meant for towing def small. My RAM std is 26, but I have the 33 (option at least). Same with Fords. I think 26 std and 31 or 32 optional. Cheers!

[@adambrown7741]

Neur0bit I believe the 6.2 got the best towing mpg out of all half tons? Least compared to the ford I know it was better.

[@jamesmartens6985]

geez... I just watched the 2019 ram video and the ram makes this chevy look about 10 years old.

[@andybub45]

But the Ram wont get to 10 years old, it will be in the junkyard by then

[@Kcducttaper1]

Flipping heck; $60,000??? Sure, it's a nice pickup, but dadgum! That's just one big bag of nope for me. Even if I were in that market, the Ram Limited at $65,000 looks like a much better deal from a luxury standpoint. But I won't be able to afford either of those for at least a century. * Update * I just priced out a fairly basic "Custom" trim pickup on their site. Extended cab, standard box, 4x4, 5.3, cloth interior, no frills - just a decent every day pickup and it was over $40,000!!!

7:16 *BARF!* Auto Stop/Start engines

[@mikejunk4285]

I know, the 1st thing I do when I start my truck is turn off the auto shut off.

[@diverbob8]

It actually doesn't happen that much. If the AC isn't caught up or the battery is low, it skips the stop but the strange thing is to see the tack at about 125 RPM at idle and it seems normal. Also the start comes as soon as you release the brake and it is done with fuel injection and proper ignition. You only rarely hear the starter, when the other stunt doesn't get it. I expected to hate it too, but I only turn it off for an occasional stop light grand prix.

[@crchrdsn]

I test drove a 2018 Sierra Denali with the 6.2 (if going for a full size truck, go big). It was going for a great year end deal (something around $44K). It drove like a dream, and gracefully floated over potholes and bumps in the road -- Great truck. I was seriously considering buying it, but common sense got the better of me and I just could not pull the trigger on something that got such horrible MPGs (this would be my daily driver). Instead I ended up getting a 2019 Canyon All Terrain with the 2.8L diesel. I think it was a great choice and I love the truck. It fits in the garage a lot better too.

Pink Man absolutely, Im just a FAST LANE TRUCK VIDEO FAN I own a 2016 f-150 with the 2.7 ecoboost and I love it. The gas mileage is awesome, the 0-60 run is fast. The flat floor in the rear is lovely. I can put 3 Dehumidifiers in the back with no problems. Im waiting for a redesigned refresh totota Tundra to see if I will trade in for that. If not I will definitely get the new F150 platinum with the raptor engine. My mechanic told me: If youre buying a truck these are the three best Tacoma Tundra F-150 FAST LANE TRUCK LOVE

Just because the sticker on the door says the 5.3 will tow more doesn't mean it's true. The stickers are there for the lawyers. The 6.2 will tow more weight without working as hard.

I want to see one lifted to convince me of the redesign

[@BobO-th3fq]

All I need to see is the speedometer at 65 and the tach at the same time. It will tell me all I need to know about how good it tows and the mileage you and expect on the flat.

[@jdgimpa]

I owned a GMC truck with a 5.3 and 3:73 gears. Great truck except when you hooked a trailer to it. I towed a 6000 pound trailer with it and it spent most of the time downshifting into second gear and screaming. The salesman assured me that it would out tow the Dodge with a 5.9 magnum and 3.92 gears I traded in on it, not true! I kept the GMC for 120000 miles then traded it in on a Ram with 5.7 Hemi and 3.92 gears. Day and night difference! The Ram will tow the same load on the same road in 4th gear. The GMC wouldn't tow a empty 1100 pound rampgate trailer empty in 4th gear. I have never owned a 6.2 in a GM truck but that appears to be the ticket.

[@gmrtg1414]

If your buying a GM truck get the 6.2 you won’t be disappointed.

I didn’t know Kenny Rogers was doing Chevy Truck Commercials 😂

[@turdferguson2839]

It's a nice truck, but it's not really built for towing. No tow mirrors, small gas tank and weak gearing really limit it's towing. I think Chevy is the best truck for daily driving, but Ford is better for towing.
