Seems like you always realize you need more “momentum” but tend not to really back up enough nor accelerate enough to gain that “momentum”.

[@MrMikeDao]

Because momentum doesn't show what the system is capable of. Secondary, it increases the risk of damage to press vehicles which will limit him from being able to do future review with the company or car

[@justinb8584]

@@MrMikeDaoseems like you used more momentum with the Ford Raptor on this hill

I don't know if you guys have noticed this This guy is obviously bias Against chevy trucks Always trying to make them look bad I've seen other reviews, drive this truck in Worse Conditions and they never had a problem this truck is super capable I don't care if you're a ford ram or gm fan boy It's about being professional and reviewing vehicles without being bias And is going to Deny it but it's true And he know it..

Cool episode, mix of course building and truck review.

It comes with 35” tires not 33”.

[@EZapar]

Where's my love button?! Looks like it's gonna be a killer course Ryan!

[@xcowardx]

It's pretty awesome to see how this channel has grown. I bought a Maverick based off your review because everything you explained about it gave me confidence that it was the right vehicle for my needs. Hope to continue to see more from you guys at DS TV!

[@makinshaneyabes3479]

Looks good 😊😊

[@Car_conversati0nz]

Great video as always, as a fan that has been subscribed since you were at 50k, I’m super excited to see how this off road course is going to show off the capabilities of your test vehicles. Great job Ryan, and great job Silverado

I just watched a couple videos from the 50,000 subscriber era. It seems like a lifetime ago.

[@lukiw7044]

HD Silverado ZR2 is great off-road and tow truck. How big this truck is compare it when You standing next to it. Now with new course build we'll see some hardcore off-road reviews. Great episode. Greetings

[@RRr-yl8zr]

Looks like it's way too big and heavy to be taking "off road" 🤪

[@nlken7175]

Why use 4LO? You want wheel speed so use 4high and it won't cut power.

[@logandavies5950]

I have never used 4 low in my truck always 4 high

[@matteugenio]

That’s one badass truck! Hoping you’ll get to review the new Ram soon 🤞🏽

[@KevinSmith-wr1sy]

I'm not into trucks but if I was that thing looks amazing.

[@WSmith-ne5ks]

Ryan just keeps kicking me while I'm down since I only have 2wd lol

Nice driving with few traffic jam..

[@briAction]

Love the conservation and cleanup efforts!

[@bryandale7125]

Lol😂

youre driving that like a crossover not like the truck it is..

[@Zanderthelab]

Go get your CDL, you won’t regret it!

[@jrod237]

Ah yes doctor, that’s the truck that ran me over in the shopping mall, that red bow tie was the last thing I saw before waking up in a hospital. Cool truck though lol

[@JohnSmith-ev1sm]

Does that old busted dodge have a cummins? Because that cummins exhaust brake is 10 times more effective than the duramax's exhaust brake.

[@rik999]

Did you try the auto function on the 4WD? It allows all wheel traction even on dry surfaces without crabbing.

[@tristanhofer2491]

No, if you armt crabbing then you're in 2wd. All auto does is engage and disengage 4x4 as needed. If you're slipping it engages, and if you're turning on a friction surface or just arnt slipping it'll disengage. It's mostly for people who have no clue how to use it but still need it

[@Mrjazzzery]

I wanna see Outback and forester go thru the new area and new mud!!!

[@richkummert2123]

You really need to look up "momentum". Laying off the accelerator and not having enough runway won't get you up any hill.

[@Makaveli_AZ]

You’re right about that! He’s doing it on purpose to make Chevy look bad.

[@centredoorplugsthornton4112]

A truck like this needs a transfer case shifter on the transmission tunnel, not push buttons.

[@logandavies5950]

This is my next truck

[@rusty2407]

Im not sure that actually required a CDL. WA law states the combined weight must be over 26,001 lbs. 🤔

[@drivingsports]

Total weight was pretty close to that. So it might’ve still been legal, but it was borderline

[@bmbullard]

I looked this up, too! I was thinking that doesn't seem like enough weight to need a CDL.

[@Traumatree]

The truck's truck! Very nice!

[@tariqsalim2222]

Is there a 2500 version of the Tahoe Long body?

[@Thankyou_3]

Keep up the great work reviewing non-Subaru brands. Nice change for this channel….

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

I think the principal advantage from a truck like this over a SUV is a major capacity of towing, more space inside, its all wheel drive system , which let it road on any terrain.

[@Smock0101]

I like your videos but wondering if you ever do an average person's truck. I can't afford the off-road top-line versions. Would like to see the Custom 2.7 4x4 take on the hill that you made and see how that does. How about the Nissan Titan SV to show what a truck can still handle. I know it would be hard to test 3-4 same vehicles on the same hill due to engines and other variables but is there any value to test the base or almost base model? What trims sell the most for each vehicle and do the companies only provide you with the top-end ones? Just your average guy looking for some vehicles that he might be able to afford then they are 2-3 years older. Right now looking for 2019-2021 vehicles but hard to find reviews in trims I can afford.

[@Bornintheseat]

Tires are 35’s not 33’s on the 3/4 ton

[@volodymyrprosov6134]

6, 9-12 mpg or liters per 100km? Thanks

[@hunter-tm3rf]

i was able to get 20.2 miles to the gallon in my zr2 2500 which is very good. but it was on the highway only

[@round3ye442]

I wanna see a shootout with the Gas vs Diesel engine. My old man has a Gas engine 2500 and that thing is a beast too

[@michaelwhonder]

I guess I missed an episode somewhere, but what happened to the last test course you built?

[@Reshard834]

Tough choice. But I chose the 2024 F350 Tremor high output diesel. More comfortable seats, front lsd, and ford you can have tremor in f250 or f350

[@scottanderson8833]

Looks like you brought shoes to a boot fight sir 😂😂

[@is6566]

The ZR2 is somewhat different but I have a 2023 GMC 3500 crew cab 8-foot bed Duramax. Practically the same truck and probably heavier in GMC skin. Truck empty is 8,250 pounds. Changed the tires to Duratrac Load E AT. Much higher rolling resistance that the original stock tires but if I keep it 65 MPH on the highway then I get 20.5 MPG fuel economy. Hand calculated it over a 5,000-mile trip. In town I get 14 MPG (not towing obviously).

[@carloceleste8984]

How much damage do you have on your ranger, when the tree fell on it?

[@drivingsports]

Zero! Solid rack.

[@KocaineNWaffles]

You are using 4 lo 100% more than you have to. 4 high is more than capable especially for gaining momentum.

[@canucktheory3271]

Weird how they removed the front sensors on the ZR2 but kept them on the AT4x.

[@prboy]

When will you be doing the review and offroad test of tacoma trail hunter? Also any update on raptor? Would love to see those😊

4 low for crawling. should be headed up that hill in 4 high

[@rightlanehog3151]

Ryan, You said, "You can't tow 18,150 pounds with a Prius, can you?" I bet you could do it once. 😉 On a more serious note, it is good to see you are planting more 🌲🌲 than you are taking down. It looks like a metal detector will be your next trail building investment. Finally, why don't you send that saw blade to the local sharpening shop to give it a second life. 😁

[@shuma_dinac0329]

0:20 that’s what she said 😅

Could use 4 auto instead of 4 low and give it more momentum than you are,

That's what she said 😂

[@Bryan-li8qi]

you'll see 15mpg when not towing. and around 9 when towing. pretty standard in that size class

[@warriorwarrior6999]

Nope that’s not standard or it didn’t used to be. I remember my 2006 duramax getting 23 mpg before they changed the diesel.

[@vict1036]

I haven't watched it yet, but im guessing the 4WD doesn't stay engaged? Because its not a subaru, so its not perfect

[@is6566]

Because it’s not a Subaru it’s actually better.

[@RRr-yl8zr]

Subaru doesn't make four-wheel drive. Or if they do they don't sell here.

[@matus201]

This seems to make sense for towing heavy equipment and cargo. Makes sense. The problem is that most of the time I see these as "status" symbols. Clean, unused, just "look, mine is bigger" statements. Trucks should be sold only to people who actually need them (and no, "I tow a boat once a year" is not enough of a reason.)

@@RRr-yl8zr Yes Gloomy Grey and Boring Black interior colors were Great colors 35 years ago, but now they’re old and outdated. Down right Fugly if you ask me. Every Automaker has made these 2 interior colors as standard. It doesn’t cost an automaker anymore money to offer other colors, but in our humanity we see the world through our own eyes. Therefore it’s safe to say that whoever decides what interior colors are to go into vehicles are very Gloomy, Boring, Depressed, Old and Outdated people. Some of us enjoy bright, cheerful, welcoming, happy and inviting colors, both inside and outside of our vehicles. I’ve Never seen black or grey dirt, but I suppose that the interior designers for automobiles live in an area (or) their minds are dark, dreary and depressed.
