2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (6.2L/8spd) Z71 LTZ Crew Start Up, Road Test, and In Depth Review

[@StrykerWolf92]

I like that your in depth reviews are actually IN DEPTH, unlike any other videos on KZbin. Awesome job.

[@FretFreak02]

I'm always amazed by how much the built quality has improved of American pick-up trucks. They're so luxurious and well designed. I especially like the RAM, but the Silverado always has been a close runner-up for me :)

[@frankaguilar9662]

I bought this truck except it has the Cocoa Dune interior, all I can say is that I love the hell out it. The White Diamond Tricoat looks amazing after its waxed and the sun hits it. The 6.2 is just a badass engine lol

[@StreetSpeed717]

That's a whole different world than my 06 Z71 hah. Great review as always Kyle nice to another truck in the mix!

[@HemiJB91]

[@terrencemccauley6145]

tufkid91 I like to know that I can stop starting it at anytime if that even makes sense, i think that if the truck wont start, the starter will be going for way to long

[@terrencemccauley6145]

***** Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

[@tehsnipatres208]

GM makes the best looking trucks and SUVs in my opinion. Plus I love their 5.3L and 6.2L Ecotec3 engines.

[@robertbidochon7949]

Definitely a master piece from Chevrolet. This engine seems to be a great thing to have under the hood!

[@gregorytrane7828]

I could tell you did your homework on this vehicle. Excellent review and one fine truck for anyone to own. That 6.2 v8 is legend and the 8 speed auto is a good match to it's performance.

This is by far the BEST review on the internet! The details you provided is right on the money and no one else on the internet has provided as much detail including Chevy. A job well done, the future in car/truck review is very bright for you. I will be purchasing a LTZ this weekend because you have convinced me. Congratulation you have the best reviews!

[@03SilverMustangGT]

[@eggncheezy]

that thing sounds nice, i imagine people will not get as far as the sound clip because people will comment "garbage" because it is a chevy and a truck and still live in the early 21st century

[@sentrywhite8716]

eggncheezy mixes hhahaha yuppp, we live in a judgmental world where people form an opinion before analyzing the situation.

[@frage-zeichen]

But it IS a truck and trucks ARE stupid. They are extremely inefficient.

[@tacobelldog8943]

DimensiiioN Inefficient? Hmm... Have you noticed how almost all trucks have this thing under the rear bumper? That's a hitch, and it is used to haul. And that bed behind the rear cab? That's more useable cargo space than most, if not any SUV out on the market. Seems you have a pretty ignorant sense of what's efficient and what's not. The average person considers the large cargo capacity and the ability to haul thousands of pounds with ease, to be an efficient way of transporting things. Maybe you should focus more of your time on developing your brain, as you are using it very inefficiently.

[@yournevergunnaknow5201]

DimensiiioN Stupid and inefficient? I don't think you fully understand what a truck is... They're designed to move things and do work. Its MPGs might not be as high as a Scion IQ but I've never seen anyone tow a boat in a Scion either. Now please tell me what's the 'smart' choice for pulling a 5th wheel camper or moving 20 bags of mulch?

[@StreetSpeed717]

Sentry white God forbid anybody ever understand that there are thousands of situations where a truck is necessary.

[@casmatori]

Handsome truck. At first I was a little skeptical about GM's new truck design (including the SUVs), but now I think they're starting to grow on me a bit. Great review Kyle!

[@DesertStateInEU]

To Infiniti, And Beyond What made me skeptical is all this eco-greeno-enviro bullshit that theyre shoving down everybody's throats. I dont care if they put ridiculously small 4-6 cylinder engines in these trucks, but there should ALWAYS be several V8 options as well. This one in the video is good enough.

[@saabkyle04]

To Infiniti, And Beyond Thanks for watching!

[@phillycheesetake]

To Infiniti, And Beyond The new SUVs look fantastic in person. All of the guttering has been hidden away masterfully, the exteriors look very uncluttered.

[@kma198199]

DesertStateInEu ....good enough? 5.3 seconds to 60 miles an hour? Umm.. This thing hauls ass!!!

[@ArcticA007]

Hmmm, I've been testing a Suburban for about a week now, and I expected some things to carry over from the interior, but I gotta say Chevy did a great job of giving each car in their line up a personality of its own. The Silverado has a lot of functional things in it to help the workers that it's designed for where as the Suburban entertainment and comfort. This is why I like Chevy, well that and they invented the El Camino...

[@Francescog762]

Big Engine , Big dimensions and a lot of indoor comfort: the USA cars filosophy. simply fantastic!

[@DMAXROB]

I have a 2004 Silverado but I'm saving for this new 6.2L ... Beautiful truck and love the new interior

[@R777-RLM]

Saabkyle04. Good job on the review. Yours, is the only review I've seen that actually showed the suspension, and explained it. I've studied cars and trucks for nearly 30yrs, and in particular the suspension. Aluminum does save weight, but there are significant drawbacks to it's use on vehicles, especially on 4x4 trucks. GM claims these A-Arms are 10% stiffer. That doesn't mean stronger. For example, if off roading the wheel hits something very hard, or a rock makes contact to the control arm itself. Which has happened to me personally, Aluminum can crack, deeming the truck undriveable, or dangerous to drive until the control arm is replaced. Steel control arms, might bend, but you would be able to drive home safely. These Aluminum control arms on GM's half tons look identical to the old trucks, no added bracing or anything. If you research Aluminum for use on suspension, Metallurgists advise that increased material and bracing be used. Aluminum also fatigues much faster than steel. Rams 1/2 ton trucks also use aluminum control arms. Why not use the new high tensile steel for the control arms. It's lighter, and would be extremely strong.

[@chingerelganzorig9284]

Oh god you're he best kyle. Simply the best. Just keep it up and do more and more great cars and trucks man. What else can i say? Wish you all the best

[@acjonny031]

Thank you, Kyle, you have set the standards. Now there are some many others following your steps. keep up the good work.

Looks great! I wasn't a fan of the design at first but it's grown on me. Nice truck indeed Kyle!

Kyle, Ask your Chevy dealer to let you know if he ever gets ahold of either a 5.3L or 6.2L with the factory Borla option. I'd like to see how much it elevates in cab exhaust rumble.

[@cannaboys703]

[@jamescampbell5316]

I am older now I need this handsome truck and also get a regular cab for work and other stuff

[@OLDS98]

Who would have thought Chevrolets were that loaded? Not me. I thank you for sharing. A GMC Sierra would be an interesting comparison. Thank you Kyle!

[@Fordguy1997]

Definitely a great truck. Obviously I'm a Ford guy by my username, but I'm not closed-minded and I really like all three trucks; the Ram, Ford, and the Chevy. (Actually, I prefer the Sierra to the Silverado styling-wise). One thing that I think Chevy could do better, though, is the rear of the Crew Cab. The floor is not completely flat like the Ford, and that makes it more difficult to load big cargo, like a 65" TV for instance. The center seat is also way too small, though the outer seats are nice. Also, there are no air vents in the back, that's a bit disappointing. Oh, and that rear armrest is terrible, there's nowhere to put your arm with the big plastic cup holders in the way. Overall, solid built truck with a very nice interior. I don't like what they did with the center console though, with the moveable cup holders. It looks cheap.

[@Manny-117]

Such a beautiful truck

[@philipp9481]

Great Review! I love that gear shifter on the steering wheel! I think thats the smoothest way for shifting. I hope that Chevrolet and many other manufactures go the same way in the future. Sorry about my pronunciation, i am from germany :D

[@johncenarocks2011]

Wonderful review kyle as always

[@117guitarhero]

The 3.42 axle ratio isn't standard on the 6.2L, you can only get that ratio with the max trailering package. The standard ratio according to the Chevy website is 3.23 I believe. The max trailering package on the 5.3L has a 3.73 ratio, unless they changed it from the last time I checked.

[@R4P7ORx651]

I worked at a Chevy dealership and drove this ALL the time, they drive and ride really well, just don't have the most power.

[@nadinemchugh2393]

[@natemtz6661]

[@joeturner3263]

Beautiful truck and great review!

[@Tony72495]

I can't believe that new 4.3 puts out 307 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque when using E85. That's basically as good as the outgoing 5.3 and a HUGE improvement over the previous versions. I'd probably still opt for the 5.3 though.

[@Tony72495]

Nah, if I get a Silverado I would almost immediately put a different exhaust on it, and the sound of a V6 just isn't the same as a V8.

[@bobjoe3566]

Youre an inspiration to many. Thank you Kyle

[@AmbientSoundsHD]

youve been an inspiration for years kyle, thanks for the vids. this truck was a rental huh? just judging by the keytag

[@WolverineNerd]

The only problem I have with the 2015 Silverado/Sierra is the rear suspension springs and the fact GM is still using leaf springs. They are heavy and put on unnecessary wight where as a coil spring would reduce that unnecessary wight and we all know coils are far more reliable then leaf springs. But I love the fact that the Silverado/Sierra and Suburban/Yukon XL/Escalade ESV still have the shift knob on the steering wheel column. That's really awesome cause its not a real truck if the shift knob isn't on steering wheel column. :p

[@EricMaxChannel]

Nice!! This is a really sharp looking truck!!

[@JC-ej3er]

+dayway05 Nah I really have to disagree with that. I know it's just matter of opinion and it differs but I happen to love the gray interior on mine. I've been through a lot of vehicles in the last 2.5 years and Ive had the jet black leather on my charger and then Gray and black mix on my ram and the gray leather suits me better and looks nice.

[@chevtothemax]

I'd say a nice tan is more modern.

[@pskittle488]

In the video, you mentioned at 9:36, that the Ram had "independent" rear suspension. Upon further research, I found that it does not have independent rear suspension, rather it has a rear axle that is located by "multi-link/five link" (depending on publication). Just thought I should share that with you.

[@blairalley]

How are you liking it?

[@talanx5159]

For the most part, I love it. I have a couple issues though. The windshield seems to be pitting. I noticed this over the last weekend when I deep cleaned the windshield. About 50 or more little knicks or chips on the outside of the windshield. Not sure what that's about. Then, of course, my tire found a nail. Never fails. But in doing so I found that the digital tire pressure readout on the console points to the wrong tires. Both issues will be looked at next week. And I can add that nail to my collection.
