@Poulton Real The Nissan Jukes are nowhere near as popular as anything else in the segment. I see lots of Hyundai Konas and Mazda CX-3s/CX-30s, they'll probably last like 5 times longer than the ugly Nissan Juke, I dont know about Hyundais, but Mazdas will definitely last a long time. The only thing they used to have going for them is that they were cheap, sometimes by up to $5k compared to others. But nowadays the price difference is so slim, there's no reason to pick the Juke over anything else in the segment at this point. I have no idea what a Qashqai or whatever is though.

@@myk1_sp I think a lot of people, who get poor service with these late model Chevy Trucks, would own them longer if they changed out the gear oil in the transfer case and differential with a good quality full-synthetic gear oil.

Acceleration will still put you back in your seat! One of the best trucks I ever owned. Outside of routine maintenance, replacing wear and tear stuff, it's been pretty much a trouble free truck. Yes, you pay a premium price 2500HD, but your getting a truck that is better suited for heavy duty towing, they are work horses, passes everything but a gas station, better than those sissy 1500s that GM puts out.

The 6.0 is a great motor. So are older duramaxs (lly, and lbz) if you need something that will tow heavy trailers easier. Also better fuel economy with the diesel.

[@nathanu.2061]

My fathers got a lly 6 speed 05 and it’s been a great truck just replaced the fuel lines and he recently bought a 2016 z71 2500 HD 6.0 with 32k heard nothing but good things about the 6.0 vortec

Scotty i just went from a 08 silverado 1500 v6 2wd had 114k miles to a 13 silverado 1500 5.3 4wd with the 6l80e and it runs and drives fine for 129k miles. Only had to replace fluids and replace a o2 sensor. Love the power but i also had the dod tuned out along with changed how the torque converter locks after that this 13 is alot better truck other than were i bought it, has more rust underneath than my 08.....

[@milanmijatovic9087]

Two legends in a same intro.

[@PhillyDee215]

All this technology still doesn't make these trucks stronger than they use to be💯

[@dennyregova76]

Scotty you ever work on motorcycles? I don’t remember ever seeing you make a video on motorcycle recently. Curious. Keep up the good work!

[@scottykilmer]

I do, motorcycles just aren't as popular that's why I don't do it anymore

[@dennyregova76]

Scotty Kilmer Understood, you da best ! Much love from NYC!

[@austinreed347]

Scotty Kilmer do you feel the same way about new GM heavy duty’s? And what about Ram?

[@dontimberman5493]

I have a 99 1500 I just gave it to my oldest very recently it had been a great truck and still is.

[@ag4allgood]

A Mazda MX-5 RF for rev up your engines ! Very nice Scotty you even peeled out !

[@310_Latchkey_kid]

New intro!! Nice!

[@scottykilmer]

thanks!

[@whenmountainsmove]

I’ve got a 97 GMC Sierra 2500 with 667,000 miles. Still hauls heavy loads of nursery trees from Portland to Seattle every week. I’ve owned 3 fords and every single one of them have failed me dearly. Especially electrical and brake system. This GMC has only had an issue with the distributor and headlights. Easy simple fixes. If you want a truck that will WORK for the “long haul”, get a GMC. My own two cents.

[@storm2945]

What about ram?

[@kayze009]

Personally, I'd prefer the Duramax diesel to the 6.2l Vortec. I took the 6.6l and put it in my 08 Hummer H2 and I LOVE IT!

[@Joes_Corner]

I know a guy that had a early 2000s Chevy 2500 HD. It had 340k on it when I borrowed it to tow a trailer and I pulled a heavy duty dual axle car trailer with an S10 Blazer on it through windy mountain roads in WV like it was on a Sunday afternoon drive.

[@dalegribble3684]

YES!!!! I LOVE THE MIATA INTRO!

[@OrbofShingeki]

Scotty. Keep killing it!

[@scottykilmer]

will do!

[@josueargumedo436]

Cool! I’m leaning toward getting a heavy duty versus their half tons. Good to know these are more sturdy.

[@deanm3464]

Scotty I've got a 2008 Sierra 1500 4x4 with 452 000km (280,000 miles) and its runs great still and drives smooth.

[@mssixty3426]

Love this information! Just what I've been wondering about - also want to know about used F250 Diesel compared to GMC 2500 Diesels. Thanks, Scotty!

[@detroitdiesel-vu3ig]

Stay away from the LB7 Duramax(2001-2004). The rest are reliable motors As far as Ford's go, stay away from the 6.0 and 6.4 power strokes. 6.0s can be reliable if you're willing to put some money into it. The 6.4 is a throwaway motor and the cores are running out. It'll be a dead platform here before too long. The 6.7 power strokes are reliable except for the very early variants. They had turbo issues but for the most part, they're reliable

[@mssixty3426]

@@detroitdiesel-vu3ig Many thanks! I greatly appreciate this specific information.

[@allthecolors6900]

Scotty I got a 1998 GMC Sierra 1500 V6 with almost 320k miles on her. She still runs great and strong. I am a huge fan of GMC trucks. Old skool is still the best way to go but I've been looking at the newer HD series. Would you recommend a 2012 2500 HD Sierra? Thanks!

[@steveniksid5874]

I have the exact same truck and love everything about it but the 14.4 mpg average. Good solid truck with 120k miles.

[@carrtex]

I have a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500HD work truck. Runs and drives like a dream

[@alekbeaver4088]

The old avalanche 2500s are great. Even as a ford guy it’s easy to see the old gm trucks were just built different

[@bradleymenezes6196]

I have a 1500 avalanche and love it but I've had my eye out on a low mileage, taken care of 2500

[@FORNICATOR1981]

Scottys new intro 👍🏻 he is screaming like if a hurricane is coming

[@0820XXX]

Scotty, thanks for the advice about the valley parking.

[@Indymetal89]

I have a 13 Sierra 1500 love it! Not one problem with it.

[@MLJenkins]

I own a Chevy 2011 2500HD 6.0L gas with 60K and it runs very well. Had to replace the evap solenoid a couple months ago, and now getting a p0171 and p0174 code that it needs to go in for. However, no major issues. Overall it has been a great truck. My only complaint is the crap job GM does coating their frames, as the frame is extremely badly rusted. I need to find someone that will take the time to do a good job removing the rust and recoating it for me. Good to hear your thoughts as it makes me more confident to invest more money in it to get the rust cleaned up to make it keep lasting.

[@Heatherder]

You need to be washing it and fluid filming in the fall

[@xrick76tube]

Always have rust inhibitor sprayed on your vehicles every year before winter starts! Have it done every year!

[@1billionviews293]

Finally no more BMW for the intro

[@lukethedrifter]

2005 GMC 1500 Z71 310,567 still runs and drives perfect only normal maintenance and 1 water pump its been the best truck I've ever owned

[@louier4172]

My 2008 2500 just rolled over to 350k miles. I love it

[@adamchristensen6927]

I've had a lot of GM vehicles. I am just an impulsive buyer when it comes to vehicles. Anyways, GM has been doing extremely well, especially in their pickups, since 2007. When they finally started using the Allison transmission, that's when the GM pickups have become more reliable. The 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, and the 6.2 engines have been remarkable. As long as that person takes care of that vehicle, easily can hit 300,000 mi

[@adamyoder6024]

I don’t know where you’ve been but I’ve seen 99-07 Silverado’s go past 300k and two over 500k

[@williamallen7882]

I just reached 276k on my 98 3 dr Silverado. Purrs like a kitten @600 rpm and I can still smoke tires if I want. Bought new in 98 during the GM Strike. It had less than 400 miles on it. I still have the window sticker,and owners book. Been a great truck. Fires right up

[@rammsteinkorduner3114]

I always wonder how many times they neighbors have called the police with Scotty Reving up some sport car and doing burnouts out on the street 😲🏎🔧

I dont believe in karens

[@justinacase2623]

Oh, they are hypnotized by his arm movements. Plus having a top notch mechanic next door, nobody saw nothing! It's called diplomatic immunity!

[@pirihern9329]

No snitches around scotty

[@MCGaar]

Give some love to the Yukon and Acadia! My dad still rocks his 93 GMC Suburban. 200,000 miles strong.

[@iFrostiy]

2500s are a stiff af ride but I've seen my dad go thru 2 of them In my lifetime, the last one he bought was a 2011 going strong.
