This probably the best truck testing channel on youtube

@AWDfreak 8 месяцев назад

Ryan's channel is one of a handful of automotive review channels I watch because he actually off-road tests the vehicles. Other reviewers' idea of "off-road testing" is a pathetic half-assed effort of driving a well-maintained dirt road a lowered Honda Civic could do. His attention to detail and willingness to actually test limits of vehicles are why I've been watching his videos for well over a decade.

@samueldiego8638 8 месяцев назад

TFLOffroad/TFLTruck has the same thing if not better real world offroad testing.

@bmarut88 8 месяцев назад

Been watching both TFL and Drivingsports TV for years now. TFL is great entertainment but more of a show than a review. Ryan is top a tier professional automotive enthusiast with great insight on every vehicle he reviews. Want to watch TV, watch TFL. Want to really dig deep on a cars/truck you’re shopping, Driving Sports TV all day!

@jeffk464 8 месяцев назад

TFL has more challenging trails, because you know the Rocky Mountains, but what are you going to do. If he does this for a living it might be worth moving.

Until you realize that the powerful engine doesn’t move that body as quick as you imagined. Needing a wider gap of upcoming cars while merging a fast lane from a stop. The acceleration performance of this vehicle is ridiculously low for the price and power.

@Kiss__Kiss 8 месяцев назад

You nailed the description of both the ZR2 and the GMC. And yes, due to our age bracket, I too, would opt for the GMC. In terms of pricing, it falls in the same chunk of change as the Tacoma TRD Pro. Wow, this time it made it look too easy. Good video, Ryan.

@TREVORJB101 8 месяцев назад

I love both the looks of ZR2 and AT4X. I slightly prefer the exterior look of ZR2 but prefer the interor of AT4X. GM should have made Canyon AT4X stand out a bit more from the rest of the Canyon lineup. They all look the same with the tall and wide body treatment. These are some of the best reviews on these new trucks!

Moist dirt can be so grippy that tires squeal and leave black marks. Dirt racing tracks are pretty much always watered down before a race to increase grip and keep dust down. They have to be careful though, too much water makes mud!

@Tacosauce81 8 месяцев назад

Great video Ryan! I really like how you show all the quirks of the vehicle. As well as all the different drive modes.

@WW-wf8tu 8 месяцев назад

33 inch tires eh. From a distance, they looked bigger. So glad you are very descriptive of what you are operating. Visual cues are not always very informative. While I am not a GM product supporter, this has most everything one could want for that kind of driving. Except the bigger engine. The torque # is good. But you can get that from a V8 and still get the same MPG #'s. Sure, the new(er)small engines can compete with the #'s of the bigger engines, but will they last as long being worked as hard?🤔

I love your channel a lot. You seem very profesional and you always communicate well and clear. I like your camera angles and your knowledge on the subject. I watched you and I watched TFL but TFL guys are a bit goofy. One thing that I dislike about TFL is that they literally clog RU-vid with videos and it gets to the point where you get saturated with their videos/content. They simply put too many and when you do a search it is just flooded with their videos and I don't like that. There are other RU-vid channels like Raiti's ride, the guy is nice but also goofy. I mean I like his humor but when it comes down to content you are in my opinion one of the very best. When I watch your videos I watch it with the family and we love how you go in great detail and in depth with the technology info(equipment, options, explanation of features, etc). Keep up the good work man!

@rfwhyte 8 месяцев назад

16MPG combined is insanely bad fuel economy for any modern vehicle and makes this truck an incredibly unappealing proposition for anyone who actually cares about fuel economy. Just insane how far backwards the truck market has gone in terms of economy for ICE vehicles, especially given how expensive gas is and how much more expensive it's going to get from here on out. Just feels like these companies don't actually want regular people to buy and drive their vehicles, as 16MPG put this truck firmly in the category of being so expensive to operate the only people who can actually afford it are people rich enough not to not care how much money they spend on gas...

So the GMC and CHEVY both look sharp. The GMC is more my style. The real question will be of all of these Turbo 4s, which will last the longest...Toyota, Ford or GMC/Chev. It is too close to call. I already know the GM twins have electrical gremlins...see Andre at TFL and his new truck. I love Toyota but I am extremely skeptical even their turbo 4 will last like the old v6 engines the brand made.

@forrest225 8 месяцев назад

Hopefully Toyota's experience with boosted engines will carry over to the new trucks, the old 2JZ was incredibly overbuilt. The chevy 2.7's were really beefed up in the latest update, so those will hopefully be solid, but I do have reservations about the 8 speed. It was also supposedly updated, but it seems like the 10 speed would be a huge upgrade.
