That’s badass how do you like it?

[@buickboy92]

Love the off road segments Sarah! My favorite feature of your reviews. 👍

[@jeffliu5574]

7:05 "IT STOPS!" I think Sarah flooded her basement with this brake test. I pick up a 2019 RST with the Z71 package and I have no complaints about it. They definitely settle in better with a payload. Also the storage is under the bench seat. As always you make awesome reviews for regular vehicles!

[@dudaoutloud]

I’ve watched a lot of car reviews on KZbin, but yours are by far my favorite. They include what matter to normal buyers and your units of measurement (meatballs, penguins, cookies, and beans) should be adopted by everyone else. I drove a new SUV the other day. My wife and the dealer thought I was nuts when I expressed my opinion using them 😉. “Sorry but no sale...at 1.5 beans and 2 meatballs, this SUV is not for me!”

[@stephenmoxley3004]

I really like your new rating system. I laughed out loud at "ass juice." Keep up the great work.

Maybe you could implement a “booger score” to rate how easy or hard it would be to keep an interior clean... 😉

[@92GMT400]

This has to be one of the best reviews I've ever seen. Just love your enthusiasm. Great job and keep the videos coming.

[@Yan7001978]

The reason of conventionnal headlight its because led doesnt produce a lot heat and in extreme winter condition ice will build up! I live in Quebec Canada and my light bar is useless in long trip with snowfall. Great review! Braking looks really good!!😉

[@rodss1570]

Hit the like button after the "booger proof dash segment" ...gotta have that in a work truck. Totally agree with your comments at the end about purchasing gas vs diesel.

[@Nyth63]

I agree on the cloth seats. Leather and vinyl burns your buns in the summer and freezes them in the winter. And heated seats take a while to warm up. Except for cleaning spilled drinks.

Great review of the truck! We enjoyed this same truck and really tested its offroad capabilities and showed how the 4wd systems work.

[@SpaceEngineerErich]

"I'm going to stuff penguins into things." Is my new favorite Sarah line.

[@robbiejk9613]

This Truck is the best $48K I've ever spent in my life. Halogen fog lights are the best, in my opinion. I had them on my 2015 Ford F-150 and the illumination was superior to my 2018 Silverado's LED fog lights. Same goes for head lamps. The Duramax weighs about 1,200 pounds more than the V8 HD, so yeah, I can understand the feel difference off road. My 2020 2500HD V8 can pull up to 18,100 pounds with the Gooseneck/5th Wheel option I have and I tow a 14,000 pound 5th wheel with an extra 1,500 - 2,000 pounds of gear in the trailer and some in the Truck and it handles it like a freight train. I use 4WD when towing down steep grades and it really helps in stability so you're not White knuckling. As far as looks, I think the Chevy Trucks are very tough looking. Dodge & Chevy are hands down the best looking Trucks.

[@gwood701]

Awesome review. A real review from a true gear head 👌 loved the brake test . The tech talk + glasses with doctors jacket 🔥 😉

[@speterbilt]

This is exactly the truck I want. I see these sweet trucks everywhere

[@3catmore603]

I believe that Silverado has two penguin storage units in the center jump seat. The bolstered armrest does open, and the seat pad lifts to reveal a tablet-sized space. That beautiful truck didn't have that basic spec? Been watching your great videos from the beginning, and proud of you for achieving one of your goals of finding a shop space! Terrific job Sarah!

[@johneason6540]

Yeah, I had a 74 and a 85 square body pickup. I think that's why I like it. And what full size pickup isnt 50k anymore. If I needed a full size I would look at it.

In all gm vehicles, idk if you already know but if you hold the tcs button for longer until “stabilitrak” off it will perform more better than just tcs off for a more trueish mechanical feel like the older days....

[@TroyPosey]

Evening Sarah! Hope you're feeling better and getting better. 👍🏻 Nothing like a big gass V8 to make the blood flow... I'm a huge fan of the old square body Chevy trucks... I have an '86 K10 with a 400+hp small block stroker & 4-speed sitting on 38's... And a '78 K10 with 1-ton running gear, 20" of lift, and 44's. They sit in a shop... I planned on combining the best parts of the 2, and then selling the other running truck with the parts I don't want/need. Priorities shifted to "real life", so those took a backseat for the last 8+ years.

[@markpfeifer1402]

I just found your channel and its GREAT! Really enjoying your presentation style. Keep it up!

[@dustinshadle732]

old tech, not a bad thing, but the 400 small block is a solid motor, unless you have to rebuild them. a friends got a blazer from 1978, 400 and after getting it smogged out, straight pipes, aftermarket cam and intake with a carb that is awesome. but im not at all surprised by this truck.

[@afcgeo882]

It’s not pretty, but there’s a good reason why they’re putting those powerful new headlamps so low now... They were blinding drivers and IIHS hits the safety scores for that.

[@johnmbell4642]

Another great review your camera placement is awesome you must’ve been A cinematographer in a another life agree with all that you said I simply can’t believe the center armrest doesn’t open I have a 2019 1500 that is my work truck I use the center storage all the time I couldn’t do without it still can’t believe Chevy does that especially in a work truck I open the council way more than I open the tailgate. All in all it’s been a great truck very little to complain about. Glad you’re feeling better I don’t know what we would do without you🙂

[@jackculp9776]

I liked your road test of the Chevy Pickup. You opened my eyes to the 400cubic inch engine. I own a 2019 1500 Chevy Pickup. You missed 2 different large compartments in the console. I did like the added features of the GMC and believe I am going to buy it next. Thank General Motors for me, if you hadn’t done these reviews I wouldn’t have known which one to buy.

Gotta try out the Ford 7.3 next! The GM is good, not hating on it, but the Ford destroyed in pulling a trailer up Eisenhower pass in Colorado The Ford had to actually slow down a few times as it was going faster than the speed limit (they don’t break it for the testing) and the 7.3 still made it to the top over 3 minutes faster than the GM That new 7.3 gas engine is an absolute BEAST! The only gas engine to ever keep up with the diesel trucks while pulling 16,000 pounds! 💪 And can’t wait for you to test the new Powerstroke too! Big love to Sarah and her penguins!

I love the look of this truck besides Chevy written out on the grille, I wish it was just the traditional bow tie

[@kennethlaw5216]

The reason this truck comes with the second battery box is because it is a work truck. So let's say you buy it for construction and you want to add the yellow construction lights, and other back up lights or lighting for the construction site you will often need the extra battery power. Also construction guys in the great north where I live usually plow a lot of snow in the winter and the snow plow will also use extra battery power to run the plow, amber lights and plow lights. I'm sure it is also equipped with a high watt alternator as well. I'm sure it also has extra knock outs in the dash for added toggle switches to run it all. Some even come with extra switches and wiring already out to under the hood to wire things so you don't have to cut threw the fire wall. It's pretty close to plug and play. These trucks are way better then the old days where you were under the dash for hours drilling holes for switches and running wiring while laying on your head.

[@ninoreeves7702]

liked and subscribed. my first video from Sarah. laughed out loud several times. excellent review. now i have to decide 1500 or 2500..

in this day and age you can get a pickup for every taste...and a 2500 version you would think is for work related purposes..mb just a tow vehicle...but you can get em loaded ...todays half ton do more than the old 3/4 ton and in some cases more than the old 3500...

Hill decent function is for big grades and long distances so you don’t pump brakes for a long time and fry them out, it engine brakes for you

[@conceptcs]

Halogens bulbs are just easier to replace. I have the LED head light Corolla that you mentioned, the LED are soldered on, not a plug and play, so you will have to replace the whole headlight unless you somehow can find the LED and solder it on yourself. But true Halogens doesn't look as cool.

[@em21701]

Any truck with a tow package is going to stop scary fast when empty. The test standards for tow rating require you to be able to stop with a trailer at the full rating without trailer brakes in a certain distance. Engineering explained did a video about it.

[@jamest.5001]

I had a 71, 6.6 formula! I get sick every time I think about how I basically gave it away, I got it in 95, it was basically all original except for rims, 90 k miles, that thing would go! I wished it was 4speed!

[@irritablearchitect]

The original 400 wasn't actually a small block. It wasn't a big block either. It was its own engine, but happened to have a common bore spacing with the SBC, so its crank could be fitted into the SBC IF, and only if, you turned down the main bearing diameter to match the standard SBC bearing size, and you clearanced the block for the extra stroke of the longer crank to fit within the SBC crankcase. Usually, this would result in what you'd call a 383 stroker.
