Great Review for comparison of both trucks. Everything I buy is chevy. Over the years I spent over 300k in GM vehicles, most of these purchased new. I have reached my threshold on the inflated prices on these vehicles. It's gotten ridiculous. I was most pleased with the 2019 Trailboss LT which was purchased in 2018, it was very well priced, whether the ZR2 or any of the new models they are too overpriced for the working family guy.

[@malcolmn.5222]

[@dennismurray4088]

Used to be a Chevy guy myself - then switched from Chevy to dodge , now I won’t run anything but ford . The half tons with 3.5 have so much low end pulling power , the 5.0 coyote is so easily modified it can be turned into a 900+ whp monster with a fuel system , forced induction and a tune and is completely reliable , needing no top/bottom end engine parts ! ‘ The ifs of the 2500hd Chevy is weak , but rides amazing .. the new f250 with the 6.7ho rides nearly as nice with a solid front axle , and stock it makes 500 whp ! I have a 700 whp 2014 f350 lariat and will be getting a new ford with the 6.7ho soon . I also have a 2016 Lincoln Navigator with 155k hard miles that has caused me no major headaches its entire life , and just picked up a 2023 expedition limited. I’ve become a bit of a believer in the ford power plants . Also would like to add I drove a high country Tahoe with 6.2 , and 10 speed - and my expedition limited with the Ho 3.5 , feels so much stronger down low as well very potent through entire rpm range . Peak torque is at 2200 rpm’s vs 4500 in the Chevy “that is huge for towing in half ton world “

I don’t know about you but I don’t enjoy climbing all over all over a brand new truck.

[@15Jeep]

For TWO reasons.....the fold down / fold out steps work much better than the built-in steps. 1. The added Accessory Fold Down / Fold Out Steps provide a "distance cushion" between the person and the pickup box...allowing for better balance. 2. More room and overhang for the boot (foot). In addition, both GM and now Ford want people to think they are getting "something extra" when the main driver of that concept was to cut costs. The ABS polymer cost less than the displaced steel or aluminum.

@@ecu4awhile A V8 is more balanced than a V6 and probably more durable long term. In general, and in this comparison specifically, the smaller engine (V6) has to rely on turbos to edge out the larger V8 in power output. Put turbos on the V8 and it would smoke the V6.

When the ZR2 first dropped, EVERYONE blasted it for being so expensive and not being able to hang with the Raptor/TRX. Well, as you can see, price-wise, it's right in line with the Tremor, not the Raptor. Also, for most who daily drive these, they will never use the long travel suspension and will probably get tired of the fuel consumption of the other two, with their foot in it all the time. NOW, that being said, if you have the means to buy a second/play vehicle, Raptor/TRX are gonna be the fun toys... Anyways, just my opinion. Everyone has their own....

[@cobrademon761]

Well what confused me is that Chevy already has the trail boss and I thought the zr2 was supposed to be the raptor rival cuz it looks more like a Baja prerunner truck like the raptor and TRX but guess not, it would be cool tho if they used the supercharged 6.2L v8 from the ZL1 and Z06

I like control over my diff lockers anyway! I love the ZR2

[@aaronfrench2584]

Great video. My only thought on the F-150 when it failed in the mud is this. You took off the lockers (of course to even the playing field) but I see it this way, Ford knows what the truck is and is not capable of and this is why when you put it in mud/rutt it automatically locks up. I see that as great design. Of course you have the option to deselect it too. I was disappointed to see it fail there though. Again great video

[@garyhawkins1299]

Not using the tremors advanced technology is just giving the Chevy the win

[@arieljaquez5444]

He went into the mud instead of over the rock like the chevy did. Little slip doesnt really matter, its if one goes through while the other is just plain stuck.

[@jxxx7864]

The F-150 Tremor is not rated for water forging

[@JsGarage]

I wish the Tremor had a better shock package. Both nice trucks.

[@traciweisenbachCITB]

Chevy is the better truck!

[@codyscherer6930]

general grabbers are good street driving tires or when no mud. i just took them off my f150 for more aggressive tires and noticed a difference right away.

[@jc24_zr2]

I just bought the ZR2 with the Duramax. Can’t wait to have some fun with it.

[@TCinSoCal]

Thank you. Awesome video. I love the ZR2 but still concerned about possible lifter/rod issues. Would love to know that’s been resolved.

[@loweredyote8416]

Chevy has had those issues since 2005 and doesn’t Seem to care to fix it

[@TCinSoCal]

@@loweredyote8416 it’s crazy. The ZR2 & AT4X look awesome but no way I’m buying with that issue still there.. I have family that has had to have multiple repairs for it.

Awesome review. I would go with a ZR2 for sure, but I'm a GM guy. Also, I just purchased a '22 Silverado Z71. It's been a dream truck so far.

[@1960house]

You missed opening that Chevy tailgate step WITH the hitch installed in the receiver. El smasho..

[@TheBdoug7]

I pull a boat and that's a feature that would cost. Not to mention taking the hitch on and off. .

[@BeamerTime354]

I never go off-road so got me a Sierra ultimate with super cruise!

[@dallasfrost1996]

Yes! Very nice truck, and in my opinion, the most badass luxury truck on the market. Love the Vader chrome finish, plus the interior color combo!

[@reloadnorth7722]

It doesn't matter what vehicle you drive, your tires make a big difference.

[@15Jeep]

Tires........and Gear Ratio in the front and rear differentials (pumpkins).

[@reloadnorth7722]

@@15Jeep Yep, definitely

[@timmit4612]

If you want a more affordable truck the Tremor starts at $54k but the ZR2 starts at $70K

[@jamescunningham2637]

Thanks Guys! Helped (Convinced) me to pick my next truck! Bow tie again!

[@TruckKing]

Best of luck!

[@lancemajors6300]

I have a 2022 ZR2 love it so much fun / head turner / highly recommended

[@marcelo403polo2]

This is crazy. $86K for half tone. My Denali HD with duramax was $83K, I paid $69K. All in Canadian dollars. I wanna get new, but this pricing is just nuts

[@davidhillbrand2302]

Great test. I am glad to see Ford offering the 5.0 V8 for '23 on the Tremor. It would be interesting to see the same test with HD off road trucks.

[@evilcam]

Good point. Let's hope TK can get a 5.0 Tremor and test it against the ZR2 or anything else really. I think a direct comparison between the 6.2 and 5.0 is something everyone would like to see on this channel.

[@15Jeep]

The Ford F250 / F350 Tremor would destroy the Chevrolet 2500 / 3500 SRW or GMC 2500 / 3500 SRW AT4 or AT4X..........in both gas engine and diesel engine comparisons.

[@briandoty438]

Compare the LT Trailboss to that Tremor. Closer comparison IMO, as far as having something you want to play AND work in....

[@legionnaireguerra7511]

Great video , awesome comparison. I see too many fords in Texas, I’d get a ZR2 if I had the $$$

[@ALMX5DP]

For a modern pickup such as these, I much prefer a helical style limited slip diff over any locker. They'll always be there and used in any condition or drive mode and still are able to utilize the individual wheel braking through the computer to very nearly mimic a locker. If i had a dedicated rock crawling Jeep, sure a locker is a must, but for an everyday pickup that goes through mud and ruts and snow, LSD is a big selling point for me.

[@denisleblanc4506]

Funny how it couldn't make up for the tires on the rock climb.

[@ALMX5DP]

@@denisleblanc4506 tires are still the only part of the vehicle actually making contact with the ground, and so are one of the more important aspects. Other components or features (such as a diff) cannot fully make up for a deficit if there is one.

[@elonmust7470]

There's no excuse not to have electronic lockers...

[@dustingre8]

Would have liked to see a 7.3 or even the 5.0 in that Ford but good video. Love the testing area.

[@mattyp2123]

I thought the same thing about using the v8 in the ford but it would probably do worst because of less torque no?

[@dustingre8]

@@mattyp2123 The 7.3L has 475 LBS/TQ, the 5.0 has 410 and the ecoboost has 500 so you’re right about overall TQ numbers but how is it achieved in each? Well the 7.3 & 5.0 are NA so that TQ is instant and the ecoboost is turbocharged so it takes buildup to achieve. I’d go with the 7.3, 5.0 then the eco for off-road use myself.

[@mattyp2123]

@@dustingre8 oh well you bring the 7.3 into it that’s a different story and a bigger truck. I’m just going off of what’s in the video mid size trucks. So you’re saying that 5.0 tremor v8 will still do better than that twin turbo eco boost?

[@dustingre8]

@@mattyp2123 Personally I would take the 5.0 over the eco, yes.

[@Steve-yr5vi]

Just my view; I'll be looking at a 4 person side by side vs. either as a vehicle to get to remote hunting camps, they are making kits that make them usable in cold weather. However both makers have come up with some cool options. To answer "based on the bed", it's tough I to like the Chevy tail gate had the flip up load stopper. On the other hand, this is what I see happening with the chevy step; it is gonna eventually get clobbered when I forget I left the hitch on. As a truck owner I always have two load straps in the vehicle and I am generally able to use them to keep a load from sliding out the back. I still hear those that hate the twin turbo, I have say the low end torque of the twin turbo is not something I'd willingly give up.

[@lancemiller9110]

Trail mode on my ‘86 RamCharger in the mud: heavy right foot

[@curtshelp6170]

I would skip both and buy a Silverado Custom Trailboss diesel for $25K less and have similar capability to the Tremor with much better fuel economy.

[@iggy-pg6gq]

Fuel economy for sure! Not sold on reliability......I have a 2021 tahoe with the duramax (30000 km) and it's been in the shop multiple times.

[@abninf501]

That's a tough one but if you're into max towing choose the Ford and if you want the Off-Road, the mean look package, I would pick the ZR2...

[@ebnhahn1993]

Great video Fellows👍👍I hear the 2023 F150 Tremor Can be optioned with 5.0 V8 Coyoti Engine. One other bit of information, the FORD 6.2L is going a way and being replaced by a 6.8L V8, hence the F250 tremor would possibly have that engine as an option.

[@traciweisenbachCITB]

ford is dead sooooooo

[@captainrawn]

Which on would I pick well let me answer that for you. I bought a Sand Dune Metallic ZR2 back in June. Picking it up on OCT 15th and can't wait to take it off road.

[@jeremymoore7167]

the editing of the video is amazing i never saw how the Ford got towed through the trail at all and it didn't explode. it must be said 86k is still steep for a truck regardless of who makes it.

[@pech_wake_day1153]

Ford may have more goodies but I’ll take that zR2 for off roading. Also, that eco boost sounds like ass.
