I have a 2021 Custom Trailboss 6.2 and the forest off roading in northern Wisconsin mirrors this type of trail. My lack of fog lights on mine and the malleable grey plastic down low has never cracked or shown damage yet. Seems like a aesthetic design problem on the new refresh. Because otherwise I loved how that diesel worked off road.

Just landed a 2023 Trail Boss LT with the 3.0L diesel, standard bed, very well equipped. Mine has 7 camera views that provide great awareness over your truck's proximity to surrounding objects. The front tires view and front grille camera save you from jumping in and out of your truck to check front clearance. There's also an overhead view that's great for checking your alignment in a parking space, because the truck's height and long wheelbase make it hard to pull in straight. The torque and sweet sound of the diesel makes it worth the extra cost.

The problem with the Trail Boss is that the govt is mandating higher MPG so they had to put lower valences on to direct air around the truck to make it more aerodynamic, but in turn that hurts approach angles. If that truck had a bumper cut off at the bottom of the red painted part it would have made it through all of these obstacles. I'm surprised the old GMC did as good as it did considering those tires are more like HT's than AT's even if they have the M&S rating.

Love the diesel motor in the Trail Boss. A lot of torque & grunt, but great economy. Poor Approach Angle on the Trail Boss. Should have designed front bumper better… The lower portion with the fog lights is too low. The Tumbleweed series is fantastic David is the GOAT Really excellent off road course. 👍

That is one awesome 60k+ paper weight you guys have there. The old GMC didn't even have good off road tires on it. I would not waste that much money on the new chevy unless I wasn't planning on using it on anything other than a dirt road.

They really need to rename the «trail boss» trim . It definitely wasn’t the boss of this trail😂. I wonder how long they can keep this up before more manufacturers do like subaru and dont give them vehicles to test. Awesome to watch though

Manufacturers need to look at this and see where they need improvement, mainly in the ground clearance department

How about a 50th anniversary Power Wagon on your course? I know they haven't made any significant changes except for some badging, but I would love to see a PW go through it!

Is David on your payroll now? He should be. Would love to see you guys take a Subaru on your new course. Perhaps compare a wilderness model to a non wilderness.

I think we can safely assume Roman is compensating David for his time and knowledge in taming Tumbleweed.

Incredible I can’t believe I never noticed that the bumper was so low!
