3.0 Duramax LZ0 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country 10,000 Mile Review! Should You Buy This Truck?

[@EReed-qg8lt]

I have a 2023 LZO. Love it. I changed trans pan, trans bypass and bigger trans cooler. Trans temp used to 194 up to 210. NOW, with upgrades, I've seen 150 towing but normal driving it stays under 125 ish. Love the review

[@marcochavane3124]

Yo that’s a huge drop. Have you tuned the TCM?

[@jeffreyuth6362]

I also have a 2024 GMC AT4 CarbonPro with the 3.0 Duramax. I have about 8500 miles on it and I love it for the fuel mileage. I was also a little upset about the Onstar navigation subscription but I just use the wireless Apple Car play. Great review.

[@K38official]

I have 2023 Silverado LT w 3.0 LZO Dmax. 24K miles and so far its a solid truck and such great results. I get great mpg. Its very comfortable. Very Affordable in the long run if you take care of it. Only Issue I had was when I had the Transmission Valve Body Replaced under Warranty at 17K miles. Everything else is great 👍🏻

[@angelherrera2151]

Exacrly the same happend with mine. No other issues. Excellent engine.

[@justinr9482]

Thanks for the info! My lease is up on my 5th chevy. I'm done with the 6.2. It's peppy but a waste of money. That's how I ordered it so its my bad lesson learned. The baby diesel is the only motor I have yet to have. Thinking really hard about trying it out.

[@dopeboyp3487]

Get the 3.0 brother… You won’t be disappointed!

[@brandonpretlow1648]

I have a 24 Denali with the LZ0. I love the truck. I bought it in July, and have put over 12k miles on it. The fuel economy is amazing. I have Supercruise. It's okay. Not sure I need it, but I do use it. I don't haul or tow. I just love the size and comfort while on the highway.

[@54Bob]

Happy new year Tall. Im glad to run into you here. Probably seen all your HD vids. I'm looking at a Tundra or Gmc with the duromax. I have a 4Runner now i tow my triglide about 300 miles in the mountains and Preformance is horrible. That's why i need a truck

[@WesJacobs33]

I bought a used 2020 1500 LTZ with the Baby Duramax and it's been a great truck so far.

[@MarcusTurner-b5p]

Nice video keep up the great work traveling tall

[@MrGunner945]

Thanks for the review. I’m in the market for 3.0 LZO and appreciate the info you have provided!

[@ZurkElite]

This vid helped me out! Thanks man!!

[@Bean-sz7sr]

After having a few diesel HD trucks I decided in 2019 to try a new 2020 GMC 1500 Sierra with the LM2 3.0 (277hp/460 lb-ft). It did great and a few months ago I went with a 2024 Chevrolet 1500 with the LZO 3.0 (305hp/495 lb-ft). The fuel mileage is the main reason I went with these trucks and they haven't disappointed. I will say that I really liked the extra power of my HD trucks but I really didn't need it anymore and the fuel mileage is so much better with the 3.0. I do wish they would've put a larger fuel tank (24 gal) in the trucks. With that said if I was pulling heavy loads a lot I would've probably stayed with the HD trucks, they just haul the heavy loads(over 7500pds) so much better.

[@Namastayyy]

2 month into owning my 2025 Silverado RST 3.0L Z71. It’s amazing so far. Wish I had super cruise

[@jloutz]

I looked at the 3.0 when shopping for my RST. I always wanted a GM oil burner, but I don't care about the cost of gas, and didn't want to deal with adding the DEF, etc. I ended up with the 5.3 V8 and it's good. Also, the sound of this guys truck at 2:55 isn't great.

[@dopeboyp3487]

@@jloutzif you don’t tow much, or in my case don’t tow at all, DEF is a non issue. I add a 2.5 gal jug about every 4K miles, and at most it’s around $22. I just discover Walmart carries Super Tech DEF for only $8.88, and it’s also 2.5 gal. Not a big deal at all. The 5.3 is a solid Powertrain for sure, but the 3.0 is better IMO. You have a few more horses than I do, but my TQ and fuel efficiency is superior in every way. I also think the 3.0 sounds great, but then again, that’s subjective. I appreciate your comment.

[@bernardcaillouet5565]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the LZO diesel. I am considering getting the diesel in the Yukon Denali Ultimate.

[@jefferypatten7681]

I truly understand! I have a 2024 Ford f150 black widow that's the same.100k truck 😮

[@performingspecs7841]

Good looking truck! I don’t really care for thin walled tires but the wheels look great.

[@jaredhankins5605]

I have a 24 RST and absolutely love it. In regards to the navigation, I don't pay for the subscription but still can use the navigation feature without using my phone.

[@JeffreyRobertson-n3m]

You can but if new construction or something like that happens since you have had it updated then it won't be on the map usually not a problem though

[@KyleSchwanz]

Great review! Beautiful truck!

[@stevenglacoste5093]

Great Review! Agree with other reviews, that is very disappointing that we cannot purchase a dedicated Navigation with the High Country nor the ZR2. Best, Steve from Western Mass.

[@MrMachster]

Nice truck! I have a 2024 GMC Sierra Denali, just over a year old and the navigation still works. I think it goes for 3 years as the Supercruise. I also love the Supercruise, a lot less stress on long high speed traveling. I travelled from Ontario Canada to Tennessee, 80 mph on most of the interstate and i averaged 31.8 mpg! Blew me away! lol DEF tank was full when I bought it and was still just above empty at 10,000 miles! I pull a 23' V nose enclosed trailer on short trips (《500 mi) and havent found a huge jump in def usage. Engine oil usage, about the same as V8s I've had, never have to add. Normally about half or a third of the way above add at oil change. LOVE my Truck!

[@dopeboyp3487]

I have a ‘24 AT4 1500. And my navigation subscription also ended after 30 days. So it’s not about Super Cruise, since the AT4 trim doesn’t offer it.

[@darrenpachal1389]

It is a live Google mapping system, so it requires data to update as you drive for things like road construction, etc. If you don't want to buy a data plan, then buy a Garmin and have your dedicated navigation. At least you are not having to pay to use the factory remote start ( Toyota) or heated seats (Mercedes).

[@dougnikolay1015]

Good information. Thank you!

[@Wicked_RotF30]

It would be cool if gm offered the power bed like Ford does. Power goes off after a storm, and the truck can power the entire house. However, I guess that's just another possible failure point, too. I think it's cool to be able to power whatever you need to on the fly from the bed of your truck.

[@StevenLNew]

Learned things I didn't know... Thanks

[@larrygray1557]

Great review and fully agree with you on navigation. Forget Google $25/mo which appears cellular based anyway. Use Carplay/Android Auto for "free" and when out of cellular range have a freestanding GPS unit as backup. One thing I really wish is that they made that $800 Max Trailering Package standard as trying to find inventory in the top two trim packages - Chevy or GMC (not available even to order in Denali - so High Country it is!) with a 500 mile search, there are only one or two in the entire State. While 8000 lbs may be sufficient and don't NEED 13000 lb capability, it has greater load capacity that trailer tongue weight subtracts from plus slightly stronger springs minimizing squat. But more important, you lose the 3.24 rear end for a 3.71 that improves performance off the line, and surprisingly, reports are coming back of equal to or better fuel performance which would not expect with the higher ratio. Apparently, the shift points are adjusted in the transmission software which offset the theoretical fuel penalty of a 3.71 vs the 3.24.

[@NICE2624]

You can connect your hot spot from your cell phone for the navigation

[@robertsahli9998]

Great introduction in video!

[@chrismarbrey9678]

I have the 6.2. I am pretty satisfied. The mileage isn't great, but the power is real good. I have the pre refresh so the infotainment is quirky.

[@dopeboyp3487]

Upgrade it. There are some great aftermarket options out there if you’re interested.

[@cmccann1964]

My is a lemon 2023 high country total lemon i put 132k miles on it. Replace the def particle filter at 120k. Didn't have the filter in the us had weight 15 plus days at a total cost of 3k. I have not had 20k miles with out the check wendy

[@ryana2377]

Just as an FYI. You can download your maps on your phone for the area you are traveling to so you don’t run the risk of getting stuck without gps.

[@roguegaming5329]

I have the RST version of this and love this truck. I get 29-35mpg on the highway and 24-28 in town

[@kelviskelvis7140]

@roguegaming5329 I also have the 2024 RST trim level and love my truck too. No longer need to stop and fuel up, as I leave home topped off every morning. It came with 24s as standard and gets more than double the baby duramax mpg with 750 hp and 785lb torque. I also got Super Cruise as standard equipment. Chevy has set itself up as a market winner with all of its truck options.

[@TravelingTall]

The miles sound great but... here's my issue with the RST Electric Silverado and it's towing. So that's why I'm not ready to make that switch.

[@cschauer]

Hey Tall. Just some hints on the Google Nav. If you start your trip in service and loose service… it will complete the trip regardless. Now getting back may be a different story if you don’t have service when you start a trip. But then you can also download regions where it will also work with no service. I drive Uber in the N. GA mountains and those two tricks have been life savers.

[@israelevans4916]

Grate review i own a 2023 with the same set up except mines is trail boss and plans isn’t 29.99 its actually only 15 for the data plan but i have two children that eat it up lol so i need it regardless i like bc i can use it for youtube and maps and you just talk to your truck like say hey google play this hey google navigate here What I’d recommend to do is sell a yearly plan at a discount, I would definitely take advantage of that

[@joe_smalls]

Excellent review! Niccce Truck! 😎

[@nowayoutstp4]

My 2024 TB 3 liter sips the def, I think I’ve filled it once in 8k miles. Maybe twice…..DEFinitely forget about it 😂 Haven’t towed a ton, good video!

[@slickbackgoonbythesaltylag30]

Best engine put in a half ton. Love my 23 3.0.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks again for watching

[@kevinhall5224]

SuperCruise WILL work when pulling a trailer but you have to go through the process of "setting up" the trailer (adding a profile for the trailer that includes the length etc. so the computer can figure out how long the trailer is and how much total length of open space is required in order to change lanes). Its some work upfront, but once you do it, its saved and you dont have to add it again (once and done) for each trailer you have.

[@TravelingTall]

I said that in the video, and I demonstrated in a prior video.

[@IrishNew]

Good video bro.

[@joshc63111]

Just bought a 2024 myself about 1.5 months ago

Nice truck 🔥

[@ratcliffek]

Same boat here. Wish I’d seen this video 2 days ago b4 I bought my new 1500. Ridiculous to have to pay a $30 monthly plan for navigation

[@MsAce0424]

I almost bought one myself. I went with a mid sized truck for my needs. I love the idea of a baby diesel though. Man the DEF systems are such a many scam from the EPA. It adds more maintenance, costs, and kills mpg you could have with if it wasn't installed. The chemicals in DEF, manufacturing of it, manufacturing of the bottles for them, all pollution adding things. These modern diesels would be better trucks without it. I really do think those 3.0L are sweet trucks!

[@mv31286]

Clean brother

[@briang4105]

I would buy it

[@davidgroves8049]

I got the 2024 GMC Denali ultimate with the 3.0. Yes it was very spendy! I love the seats. Getting 26MPG overall and I tow a 3300LBS tent trailer. when towing the tent trailer I get 22MPG engine specs are as follows 305 HP and 495TQ. I didnt shop Chevy but the GMC came with 3 years of NAV and super criuse included. The only thing i needed after 3 months was the Siurus radio thing. Heck they run deals all the time on that like 4 bucks a month for the ultimate package for a year and that includes a cell phone plan also. Enjoy your trucks guys! OH 1 other thing! we did pay a ton for these trucks but they are just getting more and more expensive or they are delteing things to keep the cost down.

[@TravelingTall]

I've heard great things about the Denali Ultimate and those seats are awesome.

[@bigherk80]

Good looking truck in the best color also!

[@stevemiller6734]

For navigation to work on my 2019 GMC I have to pay for an on star subscription, I thinks it’s about $30 a month, so I’m not surprised they are still charging for it

[@mjones9088]

Good review, helps make my decision to move from my 20 Trailboss 5.3. To GMC AT4 3.0L Duramax. Thanks.

[@jimb7304]

I went from a 22 Trailboss 6.2 to a 23 AT4 Duramax. I will probably never go back to a gas motor.

[@TheBigDawgz71]

That truck is dope.

[@larze36]

Dude I feel ya on the subscription costs for nav, its the wave of the future with greedy companies! Subscriptions for everything. Next they’ll put a subscription cost associated with your toilet to get it to flush!

[@brianpliska1283]

The running board steps are they factory or aftermarket if so aftermarket what kind are they?

[@NateMob0102]

Great review, I'm loving my '24 ZR2 with the 3liter. I do wish Super Cruise would've been available!

[@Wicked_RotF30]

Stay on top of the Diesel Particulate Filter(DPF) they are very costly to repair. You are still in warranty.

[@soulassasin1800]

I have the exact same truck and I feel the same way! I like those wheels! Nice touch! Did you buy your truck at Donohoo?

[@Wicked_RotF30]

Yea, I like that super cruise feature. Ford tech isn't as good yet. I would believe GM is slowly implementing the things they developed for GM Defense/ presidential Motorcade into theor customer vehicles. Super cruise seems like a feature of the BEAST for the president, but likely to a lesser extent. Ford screens are huge. I saw the screen in their Expedition and it is like an iPad Pro. Which is cool. I think gm should do similar for their trucks. Big screens are always a plus.

[@jd5179]

I dont understand about oil pump driven by a wet belt. I mean , why not spend $20 more for chain design - it will improve reliability.

[@daviddarling2062]

Hi, thanks for the info. How much was the truck ? How much is the DIF on your 500 mile trip ?

[@ShutterUp]

Thanks for the review, I'm shopping trucks and didn't know that sbout the navigation on Chevy. Can you give me quick stats on your trailer please? single axle or dual, size, etc (I'm pretty sure I've seen it in a video)

[@bigdog3495]

I have the GMC AT4 with the 3.0 Duramax. I love the truck also especially for the gas mileage. My def drops when towing too but not to bad but I haven’t towed more than a couple hundred miles.

I love the 3.0 Duramax. It's an awesome engine!

[@angelcamacho2059]

I'm in the process of buying a 2025. probably the ZR2 bison, my family likes to camp and will probably do some off-roading, I'm also trying to avoid the 2500 if I can. what is the payload on your truck?

[@KnNashua]

Im only at 2,800 miles, DEF still at 60% so... not issue. Guess only 300 miles medium towing though. Been mostly short trip, still 24.8mph average since 0 mile. Mine 2024 LT with Z71 offroad. I lifted it 2" so its basically a Trail Boss now. But that would have been $2,200 more msrp AND as this wasnt and hadnt sold went froM New Hampshire to Baltimore and saved $9k off msrp. My one complaint. Everyrhing is monochrome...no color available on lots.

[@leticiagonzalez8667]

I just bought one a 2020 😬 What can you say about oil is it true they use alot

[@dondeon8]

What type of tires and size are you running??? I have 26s on my Sierra 1500 can’t seem to find good tires that don’t require frequent balancing!

[@RidingRoundsWithRoyalT]

Nice truck and review. I agree on the navigation system. Now, GM has decided to completely remove Apple Car Play and Android Auto on most, if not all, of their EV vehicles. So, your only navigation system would be the native Google navigation with a payment plan. Bad decision for them to take away options like that.

[@davidgroves8049]

LOL 100K plus for an electric truck! no apple car play! thats nuts I use apple carplay every time i am in my truck. How am I supposed to get all the TXT MSGS read back to me when I am driving?

Keep it long enough and warranty out maybe DEF go bye bye with a certain modification lol

[@Kingike415]

Lol ofc it doesn’t change lanes while towing . How is the car supposed to know how long of a trailer it’s pulling?

[@davidgroves8049]

Actually you need to measure your trailer tip to tail first anyway. but no it wont changes lanes when towing with super cruise. The sensores are in the back bumper and cannot see around trailers. FYI you can tell a GMC or Chevy truck with super cruise by looking at the bumper steps. small bumper steps means super cruise.

[@Aggieland79]

Yeah, these manufacturers going to the subscription-based navigation and other infotainment features is crap!
