5 things I HATE about my 2018 Chevy silverado..... 

This body style is so much better looking than the 2019 model

I was T bone in my 2018 Silverado by a guy going at least 60 mph at my driver door. Truck totaled and we all walked out with out a scratch. 5 Star safety for that one.

I agree the cylinder deactivation should be an option switch for the buyer.

Things I hate about my 2018 Z71 Loses traction on all the Ford and dodge drivers tears Has trouble hauling all the panties in the bed, I accumulate from all the chicks I get People think I'm famous when I'm seen driving it and get mobbed by paparazzi

Back windows are that way for child safety

Chevy made the 2019 wheel wells round, now everybody is crying that it looks like a ford.

Thanks for making this video! I just ordered me a range technology AFM disabler, express! You saved my truck's warranty, was about to get a Diablo tuner like I used for my old Charger. Thanks again!

Damn good looking truck bro! I just picked up one this past Monday but in Red Hot color.

I totally agree with those three. I ended up doing tunes because I was also unhappy with AFM. Diablew tune disabled that and changed shift points so it wasn’t falling on its face. With high flow cats and full exhaust and my SB intake along with the tune my mags went up to almost 25 freeway

My 2016 GMC was just totalled. It was an SLT and loaded including the 6.2. It was a hoss and easily stayed in V-4 mode quite a bit! It actually got 22 mpg hwy before the 35s and the lift. Once you have the 6.2, you'll throw rocks at the 5.3!

Just got mine 2 days ago! I love it! Definitely need side rails bcuz I am only 5’4, gotta get windows tinted & I love ur wheels! Thanks for the tip about the rubbing!

Damn right !!! We are truly in love with ours too bro!!! We just bought the 2018 Z71 5.3 and omg it’s our dream truck, plus ours was already lifted 6” and had 35x12.5 on her already so we where absolutely amazed

Saw your low pro "mud tires" immediately disregarded your opinion.

I have a 16 and you said everything I thought youd say lol

LOVE the square wheels. That's why I just bought one yesterday before they switch over.

Good insight! The window setting seems petty but, when it rains, it's more important to roll the Windows up fast.

The power windows not going up automatically is a safety feature. If someone was in backseat and has arm in window or hand and you had auto up on your controls what do you think the end result could be?

Have a 2017 High Country 1500 4x4 Crew Cab Things I love- 6.2L, Tri-coat White, Saddle leather interior Things I hate- NO REAR HEAT(vents/seat warmers), NO BLIND SPOT WARNING IN THE MIRRORS, NO OPTION FOR A FULL BENCH FRONT SEAT!

The square tops on the fender wells are not a restriction on tire size. The reason your tires rub is because of the rim off set you are running. I run 33x12.5-22 Toyo Open country MT on factory rims on my 2018 with 2.5 leveling kit no rubbing at all. Love this body style . This year model is selling for as much or more than the new body style used with similar miles and condition.

I have the automatic roll-up on both front doors on my 2013 F150. I didn't know GM went to the capless fuel filler. Very clean truck man!

I just got my 2018 Silverado in January and was thoroughly surprised when I couldn't tell the difference between V4 or going back to V8. Absolutely, a seamless switch. No sound difference, no jerk nothing to tell there was a change up or down.

What kind and size of wheel and tire combo is that? what offset? Nice video, hate the cylinder cutout on mine

I have the same truck but 2017, my biggest gripe is the constant downshifting. Drives me crazy. Amazing truck though!

Check out what I found on my new 2018 Truck. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VWwTSuty8TU.html

I’ll gladly take it off your hands bro

This body stile is the best it's ever been, with square fender opening

Well if you can’t afford the range technology. You can bypass the v4 drop by, when you go to drive off, you put it in manual then go to 5 or m5. Then it won’t drop. But you got to do it every time you go to drive.

I have one. My initial purchase as if 2 days ago was amazing. I agree with you on the Windows. I’m a family man so the active cylinder works but yes. The work I do, it does mess with me. Otherwise, it’s a beefy mans truck

The fuel deactivation is that on all gm trucks. I just got a new Tahoe and I felt what your saying. My old 02 Tahoe don’t feel like that. Oh the windows it’s a safety issue. If they are auto in the back and let’s say you have a small child playing around sticks his head out the window and you auto up. See where I’m going with this. Anyways good video. 👍🏻

If you are looking to "disable" the active fuel management system try shifting the truck in the your LOAD gear's, Use the +/- toggle on the shifter and select how many gears you would like the transmission to cycle through. This will not only solve your "problem" but it will also save the hundred of dollars you wasted on that plug in.

I understand your dislikes .but I also am with you on loving it. I just bought one this past December. I had the Colorado previously and loved that but love this one 100 times more. Bigger engine more possibilities!

Agree with you on the cylinder deactivation, and power up windows.

Very minor complaint, but the door handles inside the truck feel like the cheapest, hollow, piece of PLASTIC you could find to use. Because they are... I don't understand why they would put a 5 cent part in such a fabulous truck?? I feel like it would be very easy to snap off, and I am reminded of this every time I get out of my new truck.

I agree! The AFM should be an option not a standard equipment on all vehicles especially SUVs and Trucks.

I tow a 26 ft travel trail from coast to coast twice and have been so amazing while towing at 70 MPH to look down to see I was running on 4 cylinders and even more amazed how smoothly it transverses back to 8 cylinders. Unless I am watching the information center I can not feel or know how many cylinders are active while towing. My 2018 has 37000+ miles. I even seen 6 cylinders on on occasion.

The ecotec variable v4-V8 transmissions is awesome and you don’t notice a difference at all. No “Slipping” as you say

i just bought a new silverado z71 1500 i love the truck but hate the amount of paint chips i have already! i have 2000klm and it looks like swiss cheese!

Check your window seals, my truck has a thousand miles on it and rain leaks in like a sieve. I have read that this is normal that is why they have the drain holes in the bottom of the doors. I think that is an unacceptable point of view. 2018 Silverado 1500 crew cab short bed. I have also found the paint job on the inside of the door jams to be inferior, big paint bubbles. I love my truck but I find that there are several quality issues. Maybe that is why you can get a brand new 18 Silverado crew cab all star with a 14,000 dollar discount off of Msrp.

I subbed just cuz of that exhaust note

I've a 2018 6.2. I never touch the back windows so that's not a problem. Stock 20" rims and tires, no problems. AFM... with my intake, exhaust upgrades, upgraded throttle body and added SuperChip, I'm pushing 500HP with noticeable improvement on the transmission shifting while getting 21.7 MPG on the freeway if I keep it under 80mph.. The chip made all the difference in the transmission shifting, it also eliminated the governor which was my biggest complaint. Awesome truck.

I have a 2017 love the truck, HATE that I cannot dim my infotainment screen separately from also dimming my gauges...

2017 deep ocean blue z71, 3,000 miles. Paint chips, paint chips & paint chips. Absolutely hate the paint on these new trucks. The window thing you mentioned is a minor nuisance too.. Would like to deactivate the v4 mode, but I'll wait to see if there are any issues with it first. Hate how the truck just wont get up & go/feels like the trans is slipping & the whole truck just feels like it's chugging.

I'd hate the payments. Just can't justify paying $1k per month for a truck

“For an extra $5k you can have automatic windows to go up and down on there own” 😂

Nice truck but you really need to do something about the mic. You can barely hear anything. That goes for all your vids. By the way what offset do you have?

I've been wondering why the paint chips so easy on my 2018 z71 lt black

I have a 2015 I hated it the AFM made the trans and rear end feel like a 300,000 mile truck with bad u-joints. I installed a Super Chips Tuner set it to the performance tow and turned off the active fuel management and now it runs and feels like a beast. They say it would void the warranty but driving a truck I love was worth the risk

Truck looks sick! Great points.

I have a 2017 Sierra and the fucking glasses holder has to be my biggest pet peeve. You cannot fit anything in it

What about the jumpy transmission? Especially on a cold start....

A Diablo or edge tuner would look good in the there. Love the truck🤘😎

Beautiful truck love it!!!

Almost every programmer has the ability to deactivate the AFM .... I have the hyper tech 2.0 and turned it off and my mileage actually went up

AFM is to meet federally mandated CAFE standards.

I own a 2015 1500 LT full bed dbl cab. 9 yrs in the northeast, not garaged, 35k miles. V6. Never stuck. Not a single issue to date.

They added the cylinder activation because it is used for fuel economy. I personally own a 2019 Chevy 1500. I kept it on and tested it and I was able to get 45 MPG with it on and 39 with it off. Its up to what you want. If I had a option I would keep it on and there has been times I wanted it off like off roading.

AFM is the ultimate engine killer. Let me tell you.... 90k miles and a new motor. Range is a good "temp" solution the best is AFM delete but is also a lot more expensive.

What's your percentage on the tint ?

Simple and just beautiful

do you notice the 2018 5.3V8 the temp runs over 210F when heavy accelerating on hills? my understanding something to do with active shutters in the grill?

bro your truck is so lit

Another thing I don’t like about my Silverado is the front bumper. The factory paint is absolute garbage. Only 7k miles and there is so much rock chips

In Ca, it is illegal to use the active fuel management disabled. It is considered a smog defeat device. With that said I bought one because of my dislike the jerky jerky shifting back and forth. I agree works great. I put it back in for long freeway drives.

I love the shape of this truck!!

Video on how you afford the truck and stang?

Preach. I'm looking for a truck. I've always been a Chevy man but cylinder deactivation has me looking at the Tundra.

30 years in Land Surveying Silverado’s have been the backbone of our fleet. Overall they have been fine.... they sit lower stock than the D and F. We like that because we work out of the side of canopies to access our equipment and goodies. When got the 2014 I loved the refresh. We kind of abused it letting it idle on the sides of roadways while surveying and I know the oil changes were not done religiously by that crew. So that one ended up having issues with the torque converter and it shifted from 8 to 4 with a thud. That one is now gone. We got two 2017 ‘s with the new look front end and the LED lighting and they have been good. We got a 2019 Trailboss that I drive for my crew truck and so far she has been good.... tailgate has no handle, and is thin! Looks like a Tundra but we get lots of compliments from contractors, Customs Officers, kids lol We just got a 2021 Trailboss, just like my 2019.... look like twins except the new one has buckets, console, and heated seats..... too new to comment on. My personal rig is a stock 2015 Silverado Z71 LTZ and I absolute fucking love it! I have had a couple minor recalls that were computer related and and exhaust gasket leak underneath the cab that made a whistle on acceleration. Mine is black and the paint scratches easily so I have my own mitt for washing and never use a car wash scrubber on it. I only have 46k on mine and zero issues so far... it is always garaged unless out on camping and fishing trips. I tow small lake boats and custom fly fishing boats on top with 3 Yakima racks. Dented my roof with the cab rack.. too much muscle lol so be careful! I camp out of mine like a camper.... coolers, fishing gear, tents, pop ups, rods, tools, trolling batteries and motors, water jugs, gas cans.... etc lots of room for me. I have a Snugtop Aero Canopy on it... looks like a Tahoe lol! Cheers

Nice truck. Just wanted to mention that the lack of auto roll up on the passenger and rear windows is a safety feature. Yes, they could easily put it in, but they chose not to, because if your kid of passenger has their hands or arm out the window and you hit the roll up, it will close on them. I’m pretty sure that’s why they put it in, so people don’t go auto-rolling up the windows on the kid with their hand out the window in the back seat.

I'm a technician for Chevrolet it's an awesome truck I have same truck in tricoat pearl white it's absolutely beautiful

Side mirrors way too small.

Nice truck I like it what exhaust are you running I would like to do that to my 2017 mine looks just like yours but black the white looks really clean

I have the same truck, blue metallic tho. Thank you for clearing up what the engine was doing. It does it when I slow down sometimes and it panics me every time.

2016 Silverado Z71, no lift but ground clearance is a joke especially that they market this truck as off-road z71, front valance and mudflaps are too low to ground, ripped one or two off already in northeast snow, 👎🏼

You know society is FAILING when a young kids has a $50,000 truck, and he is making a video of things that suck on it. REALLY!!!! My first vehicle was an orange 1977 Buick Le Sabre, ugliest thing on wheels and I was grateful to just have a vehicle, even if it was a p.o.s. The vein and shallow vanity I see in many RU-vid vids is unsettling. Generation (spoiled). That's all.

I get the cylinder deactivation, its annoying but it gets better with miles. My 16 Denali has it and other than the green v4 light coming on you barely know it has switched to 4 cylinder mode. The window thing would be a convenience yes, but that's a safety feature. Having 4 kids I can live with rolling a window up instead of smashing their fingers or worse (used to you pushed down to roll a window up until a few kids killed themselves by rolling the windows up on their necks). As for fuel mileage, well big wheels dont help. But I've learned over the years that the way I drive effect my fuel mileage, I can get 14-15mpg or mid 18s to low 20 mpg. Granted I have a 6.2 now but all my previous trucks were z71s with the 5.3

Glad for your success man, ignore the negative comments. I have a 17’ ZR2 and the fact that the driver side window is the only express switch drives me crazy too. BC the ZR2 is small I’m thinking about trading mine in on one of these. How is your towing and hauling weight with the mods?

Please make a video on what you do for your money lolz

CAN'T HEAR YOU

My ‘08 Tahoe had cylinder deactivation,and you hardly knew when it engaged or dis-engaged! One of the finer things I liked about the vehicle! Oh, and the reason for this is of course fuel economy! Some have that (awful) engine stop/start feature, which is far more intrusive and annoying - but thankfully, the include a shutoff switch upon starting the vehicle. (I had a rental with that feature) The power up, or down for all windows feature isn’t always on vehicles; especially trucks (you might not even get in on top level vehicles for all 4 windows). Mind you, I like the offering from Chevy, as well as a few others, but shopping around and checking off issues I can live with is what I’m doing!

amen brotha! All the work i put into my 14' doesnt make me hate that AFM any less. Kills the love of my truck.

1- it’s a Chevy 2- it’s not a Ford 3- it sounds like Exhaust leak 4- the price like buying a small house 5- warranty should be like ..7year 100,000 standard minimum for what you pay

My f-150 platinum does all that and 1000 other things. Use to be a Chevy fan, go drive a f-150 and see if it changes your mind. Won’t even consider dodge (Chrysler fiat JUNK). Most trucks now days are all about the same, Ford is a just a step ahead.

I think the auto up in the rear is a safety thing, for dogs that stick their heads out windows, kids and hands etc. I wanted to buy a similar truck but ended up with the Titan. To me the Gm was lethargic (5.3) and a few other nuances. But you're right, they all have issues, even my Titan has dislikes by me. Yours is a nice looking rig.

I love my GM pickups because when I jump out I can slip the key out a little and shut that darn bell off.They could have made the dip stick a little closer.

I have a 2018 and you absolutely cannot tell when it goes between v4 and v8. The only thing you notice is the instantaneous MPG's says like 35-40 on the highway. Truck is amazing.

I liked being able to fold in just one mirror or the other so I could fold the left to park in my garage but still have the right for backing out. but I do like my 18 3/4 duramax

I work at a GM dealership. A lot of guys that drive this year model silverados swap over the switchs/assembly from the drivers window switch onto the other three so all four role up automatically. First world problems lol

I like your wheels setups.. looks clean 🙌🔥🔥

Totally agree on the cylinder deactivation thing. I drive a 2015 GMC Sierra I took it to the dealership where I bought it and was complaining thinking my transmission was messing up and the vibration feeling when the cylinders shut off but then they told me that was normal I said that’s stupid as shit from GM to do that without having a option like ecomode button or something

I want a 2017, my dream is to get one soon

On the 2017 4.3L V6 the shift to and from V4 is seamless and mileage is actually better than my GMC Acadia. I have a strange issue with power drivers window, almost impossible to move in small increments. Passenger no problem. A backrack would look great on your vehicle, one is in the works for mine. Wind reflector at the top of the windows also look good, especially on white trucks. Those wheels are awesome, probably too awesome for an older guy like me.

I have the 2017 Chevy Silverado Z71 and I hate how it kicks into v4. Like you said I'd rather it be V8 all the time

Don't forget the huge turning radius!

My 2500 6.0 is sluggish but then it goes. New trucks have round wheel wells. It's hard to put windows down just a little, they either are up or all the way down.

How many inches is your lift and what size wheels and tires are you running

@lmfscrew, im thinking of getting me one of these 18 models but i want a winch for the front, would it be better to get the job done myself or take it to the dealer?

Cylinder deactivation needs a switch or in the settings screen to turn it off, square wheel wells for sure, Kind of find the cab a little small in length when carrying a baby seat, no heated rear seat option in my all terrain with leather and the fog light switch. Should be able to hit the button when on auto and stays on every time your lights come on.

Dude is smart by disabling the cylinder deactivation...save his lifters. Dodge figured out how to do it without damaging engine. GM hasn't

Bought 2019 z71 ltz, in less than a month, paint chips and windshield crack upon small impact from a pebble. The material used to build newer vehicle now incomparable to the old one. Other than that, they give you option to switch it fuel management off and rounded the wheels fender ...guess they saw your video.

Your truck looks great. I have a few questions for you. 1. how high is your leveling kit. 2. what size tires do you have and. 3. did you have to buy a new rim
