[@NickTarterOKC]

Further extending your oil change interval is bad advice. You don't want to push your oil to the limit. You want to change it when it is still good to make sure you always have oil that is maximally lubricating your engine.

[@rf14dmb]

While I agree, and 9k seems too long to me, if a specialty lab analysis is saying the oil is still good at 9k, it's still good. No point to extend too far tho. except to save a little money over time.

[@J.W.W.]

These guys don’t keep their vehicles long enough to ever worry about changing the oil 😂

[@ProCoach2373]

Agreed. While the results were good, it did have too much gasoline in the oil.

[@TFLtruck]

Agreed. I did my oil changes at the Chevy dealer. This is factory recommended oil, and it goes well for 9,500 miles.

I second this statement particularly the SO version. There's a lot of videos of the HO version but it would be nice to see the SO and see some testing with that truck.

[@higg2156]

I think that’s a pretty honest and fair assessment Andre that takes into account both your own needs not being met by this size vehicle and also the service issues the truck presented. That mixture seems realistic for most of us …we buy a vehicle with enthusiasm and over time that enthusiasm is either validated or wanes and usually its not one massive failure its a collection of experiences and elements that again either erode or validate our decision.

[@richardoaks3597]

Time for a ram 1500 big horn with the straight six is what Andre’s gonna get. He likes the more bang for your buck trims to. He’s had a new Ford, Chev, now it’s Rams turn.

[@TXAG81]

I would suggest to change oil at 5K miles due to fuel dilution if you plan to keep a vehicle a long time and want the engine to hold up. The way Andre trades trucks so often, it doesn’t matter.

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

Also depends how you drive. I had my oil tested in my Ranger (2.3 EB) after 8,000 miles and it said I was still good. So its easy enough for me to stick to Easter and Thanksgiving.

You should always change your oil at 5000 no matter what the manual or sensor says. That’s why black stone base their measurements on 5600. Also with being direct injection, fuel makes its way into the oil more, as noted by your test. It IS detrimental, and ask any service worker. The owners that only change at 10k have horrible issues down the road.

My dad was looking for a truck. He only uses it to carry tools, tree limbs, and tow a zero turn mower on an aluminum trailer on occasion. So most any truck can do those things fine enough. He was looking at midsize and 1/2 ton trucks, and I recommended he go with a 2025 Ram 1500 as the best to live with daily with room and a comfortable ride. For the '25 refresh, advanced safety features, parking sensors, adaptive cruise, and the 8.4 UConnect are now standard. I could not imagine not having cruise control on a modern vehicle. It was 42k out the door for a Tradesman in the metallic black, so I think it was a better value than the midsize trucks. And it has room for car seats when my parents have grandkids.

I bought a 2022 GMC pro model work truck single cab short bed with the 2.7 engine the same time that TFL bought the Ram Stubby. It is loaded with options and I paid about the same as TFL did for Stubby. 2 years later and at 25,000 miles I am still in love with the truck for my dailey work truck. 1961 Lbs of pay load and it only wieghs 4600 Lbs. It is pretty quick and delivers around 20mpg every tank. It has more front seat interior room than any other truck you can buy and that makes it a great daily driver. I think Andre would like the new Ram RHO.

[@AJS24DH]

I recently bought a 2024 ZR2 Bison , it’s been an excellent truck for my needs . It’s a great truck as far as I’m concerned and I have no regrets or complaints. I knew what it was when I bought it. I traded in a 2024 RTR Spec 2 Mustang. I have had a ton of different Mustangs and never owned a Chevy . The power of this truck is pretty strong for what it is , it has plenty of torque and enough power for everyday driving. I’ve experienced high horsepower cars and I cannot tell you one time on public roads that I used a 1/3 of the power. So horsepower to me is irrelevant. I don’t wanna lose my license or go to jail 😂 Is it the best truck to pull something with of course not . Is it capable off road , absolutely. The interior is nice and it looks very aggressive on the outside. It’s leaps and bounds better than a Ranger Raptor in my opinion and the Ranger Raptor is what I set out to buy . I just couldn’t get past the red accents on the interior and the vertical screen . Sure it has a V6 but doesn’t matter to me . The power is irrelevant since I’m not racing and the Bison has just as much torque. The Bison is just a better truck as far as I’m concerned.

[@lesliewood3616]

The only thing I know about Colorado's is a friend of mine had one with the 5 cylinder, and it was junk. I would change the oil more frequently. Those turbos have a tendency of just ripping those injured apart really fast, so be surprised if it makes 70000 miles, maybe a 100000 before it's These are complete rebuilt, so I'd unload it ant is a spare. Even the same size as the tires you got on there. Otherwise you're gonna have trouble.Thanks for the video loved it😊

[@marksullivan8200]

If you put your truck in tow mode it'd been different results in that race most people don't realize by keeping the tow mode off it's much like turning on the overdrive button on a late 80s or 90s car or truck or putting your vehicle in rain mode by leaving the tow mode off your loosing initial power to the rear wheels & using less emissions if you leave tow mode on it shifts better keeps the transmission cooler & doesn't restrict low end torque the only time I'd shut tow mode off is on highway or in rain or snow etc most people don't realize this

I bought a Canyon AT4. Which I love. One of my issues was my truck was one of the vehicles affected by the headlight flickering. But to my understanding were bad headlight modules. Unfortunately, still waiting on the parts to come in. Now, the other day I got in to leave Starbucks and my 2H stayed yellow. It wouldn't allow me to switch out of 2H. Don't know what that was. I gave it a few hours, started it again. And it was back to normal. Going to have that looked at as well. All in all, I'm happy with my truck. The 4 cylinder turbo does make me a little nervous. About longevity. But to my understanding they are pretty much the same ones they have been in the lower trim of Silverado's for about several years. With no major issues. So, hopefully that continues.

[@cmiles97x38]

Just trade out trucks at 20,000 miles, like Andre and never have to worry about longevity.

Even if my oil tested spectacularly, which I'm sure it would, I still change mine every 5k or earlier, and I use top shelf oil. Then again, I keep my vehicles Long past their prime til the wheels start to fall off, so I'm with them for the long term and maintain them above board. For people who buy vehicles but treat them like a lease, changing oil less frequently is a 'next guy' problem. It's not doing any favors on the engine for longevity at any rate.

5:37 "The Car Care Nut" has been in the business for years and recommends not following your manufacturer's recommendations for such long intervals. If you want to have an engine (especially hard working turbo engines) that last you for 200-300K miles, change the oil every 5k miles or every 6 months (due to fuel dilution, where gasoline slowly seep into the oil, diluting it), whichever comes first. Its "cheap insurance" to keep your engine running well over the long haul.

An oil analysis comparison of 12,000 mile vs. 9,000 mile oil would be very interesting.

[@NoharaLoco-gw8ld]

The lack of a telescopic steering wheel is what nixed the colorado for me. The gm engineers and bean counters really screwed the pooch on that one because it wouldnt impact the cost that much and it dramatically impacts operator comfort. I literslly couldnt be comfortable in the truck at all. It made me mad that if I wanted to get the same features and a telescopic steering wheel I had to jump to z71 and spend almost 8k more and not have the option of a suspension lift from the factory. The biggest waste of money is the z71 trim as the trail boss does its job better but they deliberately crippled the trail boss comfort. The mid size market has a lot of options again, but unfortunately each one has a lot of negatives and no manufacturer has hit a home run. Toyotas are tye most appealing but fit and finish issues combined with cost make them a poor buy. The ranger is probably the best balance of them all but the v6 is unobtainable and every dealership dumps nearly 5k worth of garbage add ons to the vehicle which prices them well beyond where they should reasonably be. Ive been a mid size truck guy since I bought a 2001 dakota and its been a very underserved segment for decades. Either getting no attention from manufacturers or very undercooked releases. The mid size is honestly the best balance for daily driving yet capable truck and off roading. Usually mpgs are better, the size makes them easier to maneuver and park in city and offroad, and they still can tow and haul unlike compacts. I honestly call mid size the "man sedan" vehicle. Maybe things will straiten out in the future, personally Im looking forward to the Scout Terra, but right now its just disappointment all around.

[@joew6277]

I would say it’s a combination of the transmission is slow and favors higher gears for any situation. Plus the fact that the Ranger is like 400lbs lighter. It did better on the Ike and I think that is more important for a truck.

[@ProjectFairmont]

I have to say these are very attractive trucks. GM nailed the exterior, to a lesser degree the interior, with a stout 2.7 and good ride quality. However, if I was in the market for a midsize, personally I would go for the Ranger R hands down as it’s a special spec and a good value compared to a full-size.

Payload and towing never a consideration, drop it in the bed, drop it on the bumper.

[@mikecarmean1676]

Sounds like it's time to move on. Very interested to see what you get next. Doing some great work for the rest of us! In regards to the oil analysis, I'm of the train of thought that you should not go longer oil changes even if the analysis says you can. With today's modern engines having direct injection and turbocharging, A lot of deposits easily form. And potential issues long-term. Now, you don't seem to keep the trucks for that long so not really much of a concern 🙏

I hell of a truck can't wait until the next chapter just we are with u all the way

Can’t say I will miss seeing the metallic urine sample color in TFL videos.

[@ctrawick3]

I’m not a fan of how you guys are adding video clips into the new videos just to drag it out. It’s not necessary since we’ve seen the original ones already and it conveys that you’re padding the current vid. I find myself stopping the video completely and going elsewhere.

Am not Chevy guy but if u let other vehicle leave the line first your looseing everytime unless u got couple 100 extra horsepower to make up for u can’t drive. And if u got taller tires that’s a huge disadvantage first rotational weight is biggest killer 2” taller tire about 5mpg less so it’s huge

Ranger 2.7 V6! Would love to see real world tests, and taking it of road

I just can't believe that long oil change intervals on turbo engines is a good long term plan. I''m probably going to waste money on unnecesary oil changes. Friends of mine you have had ecoboosts and had trouble after 100k with turbos and other problems They followed approx a 10k oil change interval with synthetic. I know my oil looks dark after just 3k with 3.5 ecoboost. maybe I'lll do an oil analysis next time.

Your only selling it cause of no cruise control

[@eggegg6101]

man I used car thing every day to show my music and to play a playlist or liked songs in my Tacoma

[@richardguse3410]

Extended oil change intervals are not a positive feature for longevity or for resale, imo.

I will never understand people that constantly get new vehicles and are forever with monthly payments. Why don't you just buy a vehicle and keep it for a couple years, instead of getting a new one every single year and wasting all your money, then complaining about it. These same people go on and on about reliability, and how it is the most important thing, yet they only keep their cars for a year before they get rid of them. Almost every new car will last a year or two before problems, so reliability really isn't an issue.

[@derrickp]

@@Fernando-t8g because they use it for content in the videos. People get tired of seeing the same vehicle once the content has run its course

[@Tool0GT92]

Many people have that monthly car payment in their budget. If you are always paying $700/month for a vehicle and you have money leftover and can save for retirement then you can have a newer car that is reliable and really nice.

[@skipgumphrey9579]

I’m one of those people who go on and on about reliability. Of course my truck is 20 years old and has 300,000 miles on it and I’d confidently drive it across the country tomorrow if needed. They’ll have to pry the keys for my Toyota out of my cold dead hands…

[@brians.1357]

I have a ‘17 Colorado and all in (every dollar spent on that truck, everything you could think of) I’m at $900/mo after 87mos to purchase own and operate. That doesn’t include trade in value. If I trade tomorrow for let’s say $17k it cost me $700/mo after almost 7.5yrs. You can probably lease and operate every 36mos a brand new truck for about the same price I’m guessing and have peace of mind everything is under warranty. I guess what I’m saying it’s not as crazy as it sounds dumping a truck after a few years.

[@medicman9411]

I have the Colorado Duramax and love it.
