I bought one. So far so good. No problems, good truck, plenty of power, pulls trailer just fine. I traded my 2018 high country with the duramax diesel for it. If you dont pull a big trailer everyday I'd recommend going gas.
I just did the same thing, traded a 2015 duramax. it was about to need a new turbo and injectors and it was cheaper to trade. pulls all my trailers just fine and gets good mpg
I have the Chevy 2020 2500HD. W/T model. Been pulling wedge car hauler with it. My truck doesn’t squat with the trailer loaded and there is plenty of power. It handles the trailer better than I would have expected for not being a dually. I don’t get any sway when pulling or stopping. I hav a regular cab wich makes a difference I believe. I am very happy with it. I traded. 2020 Ford for it. I find the Chevy to be stronger than the 250 for towing
The 2021 2500 and 3500 ride about the same, why not spring for the extra payload on the 3500? You are future proofing your truck if you wish to upsize your trailer down the road.
The price tag of any new 2500 from the big 3 is why I kept my old 2500 and bought a car instead. So if i go on a trip take the car. If I need to haul I take the truck.
No LED headlights ... It's 2020, the Korean and Japanese SUV's all have LED's these days, even most Siilverado 1500 models are all LED... Also, I think I'd miss the radio audio volume controls that seem to be missing from the steering wheel ...
GM puts their volume and tune buttons on the back of their steering wheels. Have done it that way for many years. They are pretty easy to reach and use when driving
that is a bad ass truck....ill be dumping my 2019 1500 in year or so, everything about it is great....and best looking truck hands down, maybe this xmas when they discount the crap out em….12-15k off would put it @ around 40k and that's a lot of truck.....
Explain why you titled it 2500 or 3500. You spent 6 minutes as a salesperson instead of doing the quick walkaround you promised. One note while driving about preferring the payload of the 3500. That's it?
I have a 1500 with the ZF8/hemi Its a pavement princess. Put any weight in the truck and its useless. Horrible to drive in deep snow because the traction control is way too sensitive . I need a real truck again like my old Silverados. That's why I'm here
Forget the Chevy 2020 2500HD gas version!, they dropped 4.10 gear option which has been around since the beginning of time. 2019 and earlier versions offered 4.10 rear gear ratios. Here is the difference in performance in max trailer weights for 2019 and older crew cab short bed models with 4.10 was 14200#, and 3.73 were 9700#. It would have been ok if they changed the transmission ratios but they didnt on the gas version! From 14200# to 9700# is a huge difference, saying you make up for it by increasing the engine torque wont make up for it on the hills. You need the extra gear ratio on the hills because the RPMs will drop too much when it shifts. Also the 3.73 will put more stress on the clutches that engage when the transmission shifts. I love my 2012 2500HD with gas, but the gears on the hills are barely acceptable and I cant afford to make them worse. Time to go to Ford that offers 4.30 gear ratios!
What was the difference in payloads, 5th wheel tongue weights? Not sure if I want to order a 3500 with the gas engine for more payload or order an f350 with the 7.3 gas engine. I have a 2500 gasser already. I could use more payload though. I don’t have a need for diesel. Thanks!
Awesome reviews. Have you done a review on the chevrolet/chevy 2019 blazer RS sportier appearance look or the premier - luxurious look. Would love to see a review on that vehicle.
The 6.2 isn’t meant to work as hard so it can push the limit a little more. These heavy duty trucks however are meant to run at 100% of their power 100% of the time. so while they’re a little less powerful they can still run at max power all the time where as the 6.2 liter can’t.
I have a 2009 LT Z71. I got it used in 2013 with 60K. It has 125K now and some battle scars, but she's steady as they come. I got mine from a grandpa, so I like to believe he took care of her before me.
I have a 2009 crew cab LT. 227,000 miles from new. Never failed to start. Only thing other than brakes and tires was the engine mounts at around 200K. Change the oil. Maintain.
Yes I own a 2011 1500 only complaint and I mean only is the AFM not good for the engine in long run has history of failing lifters, get a tuner to make it V8 all the time or just get the 4.8 instead of 5.3L but besides that their bulletproof
Dude... I drive an 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado with 6.2L 425 horse and associate torque on an 8 speed transmission. My 1500 will eat the 6.6 for breakfast. Only GM to de tune an engine of that displacement to an pathetic 401 horse and 6 speed tranny. Avoid this truck if you’re planning on towing anything of consequence.
Do some plowing or heavy 10k towing or longevity in general with your truck. This one will win all day long. Simple and robust, just what company’s want.
