Anything the government has regulations on is most often ruined. I do want to thank you for all this information. I’m been looking for a newer pickup truck but haven’t even come close to finding anything that suits my needs. I currently driving a 2004 chev with over 210,000 miles on it. The drive train all still very manageable however the body is gotten really rough with rust and literally falling apart. I have absolutely no complaints about this truck it been rode hard and put up wet many,many times. Thanks again for the engine info on the newer trucks because I’m sure the dealers aren’t going to share this information with customers.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

[@pedrofuster6458]

Couldn't agree with you more! I had a 5.4L 2004 F150 that I bought new. It was a great truck. When I decided to get a new one in 2021, I searched high and low for a new V8 powered F150. Couldn't find one. All had twin turbo V6s. While these engines might be trouble free for a few years - like you - I keep my vehicles for a long time. I have been in the reliability business for many years and one thing I know: the faster a piece of equipment rotates the less reliable it will be and lubrication has to be flawless. Turbos can turn as fast as 100,000 rpm. Using your same logic, I ended up with a new 2021 Toyota Tundra with the 5.7L engine. Waiting till 2022 was out of the question because I knew that Toyota was also going to the twin turbo V6s in 2022. I'm older than you and very likely this Tundra will be the last vehicle that I own. I hope that your new Sierra turns out to be a great truck!

@@PineyGroveHomestead They announced day before yesterday (7/25/24 or so) Toyota is going to perform warranty FULL engine swaps (not just the blocks) on the over 100,000 Tundras possibly affected. On one hand, it's great that Toyota is stepping up to the plate. OTOH, engine swap requires full removal of the truck's cab to access the work. I'd consider that a significant (potential) problem multiplier - but it's all Toyota has at this point.

Government has no business or authority to dictate to auto makers what or how to build vehicles. Small turbo engines will not perform as well as a V8 or V6, turbos are pressurizing a small engine to make it produce more power at the expense of the engine, turb lag and the owner. A turbo says upfront the engine is too small. GM is putting a small 4 cylinder in the new Acadia and Traverse, 5-to-6-thousand-pound vehicles. Our V6 2017 Acadia gets 34 MPG highway, a 4 cylinder will never get that nor have the power or response the V6 has. GM has just lost us as a customer.

I have a hybrid pickup truck (2012 gmc sierra) with active fuel management and I have 262,000 miles on the clock. I did experience lifter failure around the 250,000. mile mark. Make sure to change oil every 3000 miles especially is you have the 6.0 hybrid and AFM combined. The oil gets “watery” after 3000 miles and causes problems. If you change oil at 3000 you are less likely to get low oil pressure and have the dreaded collapsed lifter. I didn’t delete AFM but I have considered doing it. The hybrid setup has been great for work truck and towing duties. Also love crunching the gravel in electric mode driving in woods and desert in electric mode.

Great video and sadly you’re 100% correct. I am a fleet manager we have close to 300 trucks 200 of which are three-quarter ton and bigger and our diesels and I can tell you the government has absolutely destroyed them. The half ton trucks we have are mainly Silverado and Sierra because of the great discount we get, and we don’t keep those trucks anymore past 150,000 miles because there is nearly a 100% failure rate with camshafts, lifters, seals being destroyed because of the lack of oil, and the one or two trucks that we’ve done it with and done the repairs Ran close to $7000. On the flipside with diesels back in the day we used to keep one ton diesel trucks to 300,000 miles because that’s when you typically had to do a pretty large refit on the vehicle, but now because of all the EPA garbage and DEF long-term issues we sell them now at 200,000 miles. The overall cost of operation to that 200,000 mile mark is twice what it used to be because they still break down like crazy compared to the old diesels. What do I drive?

Note that I drive it like an adult, stay ahead on maintenance, and don't abuse it but I can't see paying the asking prices for the new trucks. Regarding features, the '16 LTZ has everything and more than I need and will need in the future... carplay, sunroof, heated cooled seats, its effectively a luxury vehicle...etc. I never minded AFM as it did help out with mileage especially on long trips where, before I put a mild lift (king coilovers, UCA's, Deaver springs, etc) and 35's it would cruise down the interstate in "V4" and got decent mileage for a 6.2ltr V8... decent being a relative term. note: I still have AFM enabled and haven't melted a lifter yet.

I also installed the fuel management module in the OBD that did not change fuel mileage at all.

At that time, Ford, Ram, and GM could all sell you a V8.

I asked my wife to drive it around the block and she said she didn't need to, if someone had to test drive it, let it be me. I was suitably impressed -- smooth, gobs of torque, it was even quiet with a roomy cabin. I signed the papers and then a few months after delivery we found out about the V6 turbo for the following year. I told my wife the Tundra was going to become a classic and might even appreciate in value.
