I have a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 work truck Long bed, color white, completely basic, crank roll up windows, vinyl flooring, Cost a couple dollars for a basic key, that's right no fob or key chip, just a good old fashioned metal key. The ignition is so worn out the key just comes out of the ignition even when it's on. Nowadays you couldn't do that with more modern trucks. 4.8 liter engine with almost 194,000 miles, bought it 3 years ago, used to be a motorcycle hauler at a dealership, then had 168,000 miles paid almost $2400, since then it's been a great truck. By next year it will be considered a Classic at 20 years. Good old Chevrolet !

I totally agree! I have a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 with 4.8 V8. Very well made and basic. The more basic/simple the better. Man, that's the most reliable truck I've ever owned! I feel like the newer trucks today have way too many unnecessary gimmicks.

@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.

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.

Only two times when the 4x4 in my 1984 F250 was put to work. When I buried the axles in deep mud and sludge in a heavily watered orchard and when a tree was being stubborn. Keep in mind the tires were shot. Yes, it's pretty damn reassuring that you got four wheel drive.

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.

[@Natemerica98]

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

[@jamesoutlaw2043]

I have a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71. Has 150000 miles on it. Runs like a top. Just changed drivers hub assembly. Only thing I've done to it. Has been a good truck so far. Hope it last as.long as my 96 GMC Sierra it has 285000 miles on it. Still runs great. Still has factory engine and trans.

[@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.

[@omert9681]

I own a 3500 HD 2011 diesel , I will keep it a very ver long time . Thank you Scotty 👍

[@marccatamio]

Customer: Hey scotty I'm here to pick up my new miata, Scotty: Just a minute Could you please hold this camera , I'm just testing out the wheels to make sure that they won't fall out.. Meanwhile.... (1,2,3,4!!)Scotty: REV UP YOUR ENGINES!!!!! Customer:😳😳

[@hickboy3067]

I'm going on 300K on my Chev 6.0 Gasser, 01' 2500 HD used strictly for plowing and hard work.

[@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

[@gideonchadwick805]

I love my 2012 2500. It’s just a big dumb L96 V8. It does all the things. Not fast, but not slow and always reliable. Did just put in a new billet Torque converter/trans rebuild... But the ol girl deserves some love after 224000 miles. Hope to be driving this truck till I can afford the right diesel rig.

[@1billionviews293]

Finally no more BMW for the intro

[@Janzer_]

2002 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE with 230K+ miles on it, still going strong. No major issues at all.

[@OrbofShingeki]

Scotty. Keep killing it!

[@scottykilmer]

will do!

[@mikehobbs7421]

Got an 2009 Sierra 2500hd 6.0L with 360,000km on it with Minimal repairs over that time. Just bought a 2019 gmc Sierra 2500hd 6.0L with 188,000km and I don’t even have a worry about it. Still keeping the 2009 as well. Solid trucks for sure

[@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?

[@Travos69]

Bought a 84 f250 4x4 diesel truck last week and drove it home 300 miles. Anything over a half ton is going to be built better as time will prove . I'd rather have something that's paid for than something I may end up needing to choose if I eat or if I drive.

[@kenek3924]

Scotty you always end up making me smile and laugh from your videos ha ha 😂

[@Jshephoosier2012]

My 07 silverado 1500 has 230000 miles and still drives strong. Best truck I've ever had

[@dalegribble3684]

YES!!!! I LOVE THE MIATA INTRO!

[@TheWretchedWorld]

6l90 is a great transmission we have them in our lsa powered vf clubsport and gts. People are running 9second 1/4 miles with unopened stock transmission.

[@PhillyDee215]

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

[@daveyjones3285]

Thanks for the truth Scotty, I’ve had a bunch of HD GMC’s since 2000 and the worst problem in all of them was a bad power steering pump.

[@fredgehammer9268]

Love Scottys response to his hair line😂😂💇‍♂️

[@darktoadone5068]

I have a 2013 version I bought from a young guy, has low mileage but he took the stock exhaust off and installed a flowmaster. Kind of loud.But it's a great truck.

[@tpow2651]

That’s not even enough miles for it to actually start falling apart. Things will start breaking soon if they haven’t already

[@jacobhillanbrand7988]

My 1998 gmc yukon has 178,000 miles. Still rides great

[@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

[@louier4172]

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

[@Outrjs]

I agree about 4×4. I have a belief. If you EVER take your truck on the dirt, you need 4 wheel drive. I don't mind paying the extra money to know it's there.
