2019 Silverado High Country 6.2L - Test Drive

[@318lovejones]

I'm loving that color.

[@OptimusPrime-vu9gp]

Good evening was wondering if this vehicle that you showed off on KZbin has lumbar support for the passenger also question number 2 was wondering how much a 2019 high country would cost today in 2023 as of September ps. Love the presentation and the video

[@venividivici4253]

I would feel confident with this guy as my seller.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Thank you 👍

[@AlaskaErik]

I have a 2019 Silverado LTZ 6.2L and I hate auto stop. But I just received my Auto Stop Eliminator, so my auto stop will be permanently defeated in the next few days. But I do love my 6.2L engine. Much more punch than my 2016 5.3.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Nice! Glad you are enjoying it!

[@lacesout1199]

Why not just turn off auto stop

[@AlaskaErik]

@@lacesout1199 Every single time I start my truck?! Auto Stop Eliminator is a much more practical solution.

[@diverbob8]

Just picked up one two days ago.....mind blown! Autostop is fine when you are in "Normal Mode" (Read that "sane" mode) around town....in "Sport" mode (read that monster mode), you just turn it off for the stop light grand prix ! The oddest thing I have ever seen in a vehicle is when you are sitting still, the tack reads about 100 RPM, and you cannot tell...17 modes of engine operation and a 10 speed transmission and it is completely seamless. You have to be careful when you jump on it because you will be going 2 1/2 to 3 times faster than you would guess....I broke the tires loose on a wet road when I briefly hammered it....the 10 speed was racking down.....in the heads up display.....90 MPH. (Before you jump on me, it already had 550 miles on it from the dealer, so I was at 850 miles, when I did this little stunt).

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Awesome Robert! Thanks for sharing your experiences... You got yourself a GREAT truck!

[@45hotro]

Auto stop is thumbs down for me.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Thanks for the vote.. most agree with you

[@wmoore004]

Sooooo. Safety is a thumbs down???

[@bobhirdes6725]

auto stop is awesome! but for the ignorant ones that don't like it GM provides a defeat switch. auto stop is a great feature and it saves fuel.

[@rgman2858]

Yea you can turn it off, but have to do it every time you start the truck..I hated it at first, but doesn't bother me much anymore. I had a 2019 loaner for 3 weeks while my 16 was in the shop, and just got the 2020 high country 6.2l

[@1636patriot]

@Benjamin Mathew bump the brake and it restarts...

[@carolbrown7937]

I had a 2017 Silverado with the 6.2 and was my favorite vehicle ever! Zero to 60 in smoking time and 22-26 mpg on the highway. Best kept secret ever with GM. I almost kissed the salesman after I’d had the truck for several months and was in for an oil change. Loved the power and ridiculous mileage with a crew cab 4 WD truck!!! And this was the 6 speed transmission.....crazy! Nice review👍

[@climbthatmountain]

I think auto buyers, from even one generation ago...can't fully appreciate, what a quantum-leap forward, these pickups are. Until you have driven, hauled, towed-with, and lived-in one...it is difficult, to simply describe. I love my '97 Fleet side, with 400k, on the clock. But by comparison, the '97, is a crop-duster...and the '21, is a Learjet.

[@holecard1234]

Getting used to the auto stop, it startled us the first few tests it started. Just got the same truck with tech package, 22" wheels and cat back performance package. Love everything about it.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Cool! Must sound amazing with the performance exhaust!!

[@moman-pm7wy]

If I ever bought one of these it would have to be USED for sure.....I feel like 65-70 grand for a pickup is just CRAZY! You can buy a fixer upper home for that! Thanks for posting and showing all the features.....it is a beauty of a pickup!

[@grantc2737]

Damn just watching this video makes me want one of these

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Lol, tell me about it.. I was thinking that the entire time I drove it!

[@rgman2858]

It's a badass truck! Test drove one last night and bought it. Picking it up today. The interior is a little plain and boring,.but the extra features make up for it, and the 6.2L motor really puts icing on the cake

[@rgman2858]

I wanted a loud motor! Lol I love my high country, can't wait to pick it up tonight

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Nice!

[@jswartz69]

Thumbs down on auto stop, they should have to give you an option for default off it sucks having to turn off every time but its definitely an amazing truck.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Default off would be a nice option

[@toddwaller8951]

Good video. I drove a car in Europe that had start/stop. It was terrible. This one seems to be much better. Will be interesting to try. I have a new LTZ w/ 6.2l coming this week (hopefully). We really liked the High Country package, but could not see spending the extra $10K. Our LTZ is well loaded and less than $50K.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Congrats on the LTZ!! I know your going to love it!

[@triton6100]

Are you working on gasoline or diesel?

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

This is a gas engine

[@lirr408]

I had the auto stop in a 2016 Malibu Limited. I did not mind it.

[@soosarcastic.5020]

Just finished buying a 2019 silverado and yes i hate the auto stop i think most of us do but it does help. And if i were living overthere id totally race that high country with my 4cylinder turbo 😁

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

the turbo would be right there with it! Congrats on your new Silverado!

[@groot5441]

There is a harness you can buy where you don’t have to press it ever time you get in truck .

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

I did see someone talk about that in another video..

[@PlanetEaterG]

The only 2 thing I dislike about the GM twins is they made the fuel tank smaller and the stereo is weak. I don't hate stop/start, I hate cylinder deactivation.

[@colbypowery4898]

On the 2019 Chevy Silverado high country 6.2 L does the auto stop start works when it is in sport mode?

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Excellent Question! I just drive it again and yes, it does in fact go into auto stop while in sport mode

[@bobhirdes6725]

Yes, of course it works in sport mode. The engine can only go into a auto stop mode if you come to a complete stop with your foot on the break. If you drive in the range selection mode the engine can not go into auto stop mode.

[@rgman2858]

@@bobhirdes6725 what's the range selection mode?

[@bobhirdes6725]

rgman2858 Range Selection mode is when you put the gear selector to low and you can manually shift up or down the gears. Only in drive mode can it go into a auto stop when you are at a complete stop with your foot on the brake.

[@johnlundvall8911]

Not a fan off the start/stop. And i think that it will wear out the startengine much faster than on a car without it.

[@semiauto3148]

John Lundvall you can turn that off.. only thing is. You have to turn it off every time you get in the truck

[@bobhirdes6725]

WRONG! The starter has zero, zip, NADA to do with restarting your engine when your vehicle goes into a auto stop mode. So your worries about wearing out your starter is without any merit what so ever. Actually, the engine restarts with a battery! That's right a battery refires your engine. Yes, that is a FACT!

[@semiauto3148]

Bob Hirdes that’s funny. When I stopped at a red light last week and forgot to turn the switch off. The engine restarted like I was cranking it when I took my foot off the break...so how exactly would a battery re crank your truck with out a starter?

[@bobhirdes6725]

@@semiauto3148 oh ignorant one semi auto, I don't give a rats ass if you are to ignorant and stupid to know that the starter does not "restart your engine when you go in to a auto stop mode" I know what the fuck I'm talking about and you are wrong if you think other wise. Your starter only starts your vehicle but it does nothing during a auto stop and the engine restarts. Laugh at yourself for not knowing what you are talking about.

[@EdMiF]

@@bobhirdes6725 Why don't you explain to all of us exactly how a battery starts an engine WITHOUT engaging the starter?

[@HRCfan17]

I love the high country especially with the umber interior. My friend just got a 19 Havana brown. Jealous. As far as the start stop it’s a bit gimmicky to me. For the amount of time the engine is off it probably takes as much fuel to restart the engine. Probably not making a huge difference in economy. Excellent video and I wish I could afford a high country.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Thanks for watching!

[@dsanchezc3]

I got that havanna brown too. Truck is amazing.

[@calientemac1]

What’s your thoughts of the 8 speed transmissions?

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

So far so good. Shifts quick and smooth

[@johnw7120]

Excellent review. I don't have engine start / stop, but I drive an older Tundra currently. I'm in the market to upgrade yr end 2019 and looking at the Silverado. Question, size of fuel tank or are there options ? Thanks for the great review. Love the Silverado !!

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Thanks for watching John! The tank size ranges based on the truck. Regular cab trucks are 28 gallons and the Double & Crew cabs are 24

[@45hotro]

Dave, why do Chevy dealers not have double cab, regular bed, 6.2l trucks on the lot? I need more bed and less people space.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

I guess dealers just arent ordering them yet. The only way to get all three options would be the LTZ model

[@HRCfan17]

Dave B sells Chevy can you get the 6.2 in the LTZ? I thought it was only on the high country right now.

[@bobhirdes6725]

WRONG! The 6.2 liter engine is available in LTZ and High Country trim levels. in 2020 you will be able to get the 6.2 liter in more trim levels like the LT and RST

[@travelinben1966]

Auto stop would be ok if you didn’t have to turn it off each time you get into the truck.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

True

[@anthony2558]

didn't know about the half lift to auto up on tailgate. Nice

[@russbrittain410]

This would really sound good with an after market exhaust. The 4 cylinder turbo would probably sound like a lawnmower or a weed wacker

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

agreed

[@r2ba435]

How does it "feel" compared to the other two engines? Does it set you back when you got on it?

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

It feels strong, definitely pins you back but the most impressive is how smooth the transmission shifts!

[@AlaskaErik]

My 2019 6.2L did set me back...to the tune of $2495!

[@josephmichael1405]

The 6.2 would annihilate the turbo 🤦‍♂️No contest

[@tezkr]

i don't like the auto stop. and if it is a feature they have to include, it should default to off instead of on.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

I'm just happy they added the off button

[@lacesout1199]

When they get a rst with 10 speed auto and 6.2 I am in all in

[@Russellsinboaz]

2020 line up offers the RST with the 6.2 and 10 speed. I just bought one, LOVE IT!

[@Subiefellow87]

My Malibu company car has auto stop start. It works smoother than my BMW 3 series.

That's good to hear because the Malibu was first generation start/stop.. the Equinox, Traverse, Silverado are even better

[@anthonymacneil2279]

Bought a 18 High Country 6.2L just because I cant get past what they did to this generation its horrible inside and out. The inside didnt change other than to get push button start and rear vents and a 10 speed that absolutely did nothing for MPG. Come on GM who designed this.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Congrats on your new truck!

[@anthonymacneil2279]

@@DaveBsellsChevy Thank you love it!

I know everyone is not fond of the new design, but I love it. In fact, it's on my short list of new vehicles to get in the near future. High Country 4x4 crew cab, 6.2 with 3.42 final drive. Just wish there was an option for a larger fuel tank like Ram and Ford offer.

[@longboardguy]

Anthony Macneil a 10 speed, push start, new rear seats that are actual full size with a full size head rest, hydraulic cab mounts, rear vents and heat standard in LTz trim, more storage, wider bed, more rear leg and seat room hey it’s good enough for me if you got rear passengers/family it’s a big deal over the 18’. I like your 18 but couldn’t live with the small rear seats for teenagers that are my height

[@bkpugsley]

We have a 2019 Equinox and do not like the auto stop. Due to auto stop, we're looking at getting away from GM now after always owning primarily GM. Looking into a Titan when my Silverado lease is up next year. Hopefully other companies stay away from it as long as possible.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

most manufacturers have it but have an on/off button so the driver can select. we have the on/off button in the 2019 Silverado and Cruze (last year anyways) and will have the on/off in the 2020 Blazer.... not sure about the other models yet

[@bkpugsley]

@@DaveBsellsChevy Yeah it's getting hard to find a car without it now. I wish our Equinox had an off switch. I drove a 2019 Silverado last week with the off switch and it was a smooth feeling truck. (5.3, 8 speed RST Z71).

Is it true that the 2019 6.2L needs to run of premium gasoline. I think that is kinda crazy, if you ask me

Aaron if you want full power yes they recommend premium gas

[@AlaskaErik]

According to the owner's manual, premium fuel is highly recommended. It's all I will use in my 6.2L.

[@515ventures3]

Start/Stop technology is dumb! I wouldn’t like it! I can hear other vehicles fire up at a stop light when they get a green light and it reminds me of a old stalled out car that can’t stay running. It sounds so horrible!

Nice video! 👍 My ‘17 Charger shows the transmission gear ur in while driving and it’s pretty nice, you can even change the font size depending on if ur displaying the standard PRND or single letter only like D ect. If that makes any sense lol. I’m currently in a 2018 Jeep Compass since my Charger is being serviced again and it has the auto start stop feature which I’m not a fan of at all. Maybe because it’s the 2.4L but u really feel the whole on and off process. Feels like shit and makes the car seem like an old clunker stalling out.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Thanks... question for you. Does the charger show what gear you are in as you use a tap shift or when you are just driving in normal D?

[@marshallfox1786]

Dave B sells Chevy Dave B sells Chevy It shows the gear for normal driving in automatic or shifting manually with the shifter or using the paddle shifters. Here is a video (not me) going over some of the features of the 7 inch TFT (thin film transistor) display in the Charger. Notice at 4:39 you see it shows D then he switches to PRND. That little 1 below the D, is the gear number ur driving in currently (up to 8th gear). If u display the full PRND that gear number will be a little smaller. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmeWo5yLeKtka7M

[@markleegstra6012]

Is it just me or isn't it that every time you shut off a vehicle and start it back up....everything had to work twice i.e. the battery, starter, fuel pump etc., etc., etc. When I go into a store for 5 minutes, I just leave the vehicle running, seems like all the mechanics involve will last twice as long.....how much gas will be consumed in 5-10 minutes of idling?. Also they now don't have gas caps, how do you keep someone from sugaring the tank?, also if you leave the keys in the vehicle sounds. I think many employees at the dealership will develop hearing problems from the horns going off at every oil change/ service visit...….Chevy trucks are far and away the best trucks on the road.....too many stupid features though
