I Tow More of These Than Anything! 

Thank You! That means a lot!

To bad for the owner, what should have been his dream truck is turning out to be a nightmare.

@steveinoz8188 More to do with lack of parts, which everyone including Toyota has issues with.

@@greatwhitebuffalo6807 I suspect it may be an electrical fault. The GMT900s had less electronics to fail.

It's what happens when you put diversity hiring above competency and ability . . .

Most all vehicles have a way. In the case of these trucks, they just don’t make it easy to access like everyone else.

There is a lot more cars other than these trucks that you have to crawl under to get into neutral if they don’t run.

@@jonathanallen8236 My point exactly! NTSB should mandate that a vehicle should be able to easily be put into neutral ... from inside the cab of the vehicle!!! It is a safety issue!!

6 speed manual - get stick shifts ffs

@@pzm958 I work as a mechanic at a European repair shop and it is becoming way too often that this is a problem. Most tow truck drivers do a quick google search and if they can’t figure it out they are dragging it on the truck and shaking it back off. Luckily we have yet to see any immediate damage as a result. Another issue is for example we had a dead Range Rover Evoque towed in and not only was it stuck in park, which I had to get out for him, and after doing so we figure out that the electronic parking brake was stuck as well. The car had water leaking inside and wouldn’t power up. This is totally unacceptable!

Amen Brother! I did the same, I've had a 2016 1794 and a 2019 Sport and now I'm on a 2023 Taco. None have ever let me down, ever!!!!!!!!!

Tundras break down as well if they are not maintained.

@@ramaswamynarayanaswamy4806 GM's break down even if maintained.

My GMC…window motors…all instruments on the dash(only have tach and fuel gauge) APS brake controller, front wheel bearing, water pump, injector…just to name a few. Go ahead and be a man and keep buying those GMC’s!

don't forget the lifters!@@MikeYork-sk3mk

Yea while on camera

Old mostly rust free is the way to go !!!

And unlike the GMC in this video, if the fuel pump in your '74 dies, it's less than 10 minutes to replace it and you can do it in the parking lot of the parts store.

@@stevepreskitt283 But that's the fuel pump. Just try to replace the fuel pump MODULE in that '74 Jimmy. Usually they're _impossible_ to find.

@@easygoing2479 😀

yes these new gm are junk the older trucks are much better!

Sure. Many towing companies rip people off too. I suggest you do some research. Many towing companies get sued for wrongful towing or damaged vehicles.

How freaking ridiculous. No way to unlock the truck from neutral? What happens if the battery dies and it’s in a position you cant jump it or take the battery out ? I wouldn’t own that POS. Electronic shift is 💩

Dont they make jack dollies when you cant get the vehicle out of park ? You have to drag it ?😂

They’re making these things into electronic nightmares. I see many people walking away from their loans and telling GM to eat it. Imagine having bought this POS as an actual work truck and it gets you stuck at a job site and you lose work because it’s decided not to run. 😂

Except for the Repo drivers.

That's b'cuz the new GM parts now-a-days are made in China

I've been saying this for a long time now. With over 100 years experience, they haven't yet figured out how to maintain a high standard of reliability. Fuel pumps, injectors, AFM, Magna Ride, windshield wipers, 8L90, etc. The list is too long of things they should have been able to perfect by now. Yet, I'm the one stuck paying the repair bills. Am I the luckiest to have a 20.18 Denali with Magna Ride, a 6.2 with AFM and an 8L90? Here in Canada at around 55k KM I had to replace the front Magna ride (quoted 3300$). Then near the same time ran into transmission problems which were addressed by kicking the problem down the road (fluid change) as now at 80k KM all the problems are are back. Yesterday, I shifted to drive and it didn't move, just revved up and then lurched HARD into gear. I'm not excited for it to fail, it's going to cost what 10k maybe? This truck was MSRP ~73k CDN when I bought it. By the time I hit 200k KM, it's possible that I would have spent over 30k in repairs. The cost of these trucks is way too high given the number of issues and costs associated with ownership. You would have to be a fool to buy one. More bonus bucks for Mary Barra right out of your pocket and mine. Next time, I'm going to try a Toyota, overall it seems they have reliablility figured out much better.

funny the other day i drove a guy to get his other vehicle when his gm fuel pump failed in the costco parking lot... didnt know it was common

Well how will that make them any money? They need fools to go into the service bays.

Best Chinese parts they could find...

Thank You! Glad you’re enjoying the content!

No doubt. There's plenty of them that make the profession look like crap, sorry to say.

Even though it’s a Truck! He could of protected the Rims better 😢

@@dr.romeoconfidential9271 -- Whatcha' talking about Romeo? I never saw the rims get close to hitting anything!

if it was a repro would be a whole different video lol

Unfortunately the engineers dropped the ball on these newer trucks.

Pretty much anything with a GM badge these days is a POS!@@Towtruck_Dustin

I come to expect that from GM.

I will never buy. a new truck

I have a 2000 Tundra and it has never let me down. A couple minor problems. New radiator , A/C pressure switch, O2 sensor and the little green light that shows that your in drive . Not bad for being 24 years ol and 260,000 miles.

Thank You! Glad you’re enjoying the content!

I agree, great job.

Very professionally done and the extra work to take care of the customers vehicle is awesome! God Bless!

Thank You!

Thank You!

They make crap like that to make more money at da dealer shop.

@@cowboy7271actually the dealership is making the money off GM. They charge the dealership 10% over dealer price and the dealership charges them 100 % plus shop rate why pay 20% more for the parts to make less

Yes that was awesome, I had a tow guy drag my awd car up his truck once, would have been nice to have a driver like Dustin instead

Well Ford is a lot worse you can do some research and find out for yourself

Carefull about badmouthing and making nasty comments about GM Trucks. I have a 2024 GMC loaded with over 110 miles on it and so far no issues.😁

So… 250k miles, my 2018 Ram 2500 has those miles and never been towed or visited the dealer.

@@Flydevice1 Saw a youtuber with a million mile RAM, took 2 engines and 3 transmissions to make it.

bought a 2000 ranger clutch broke at 4000 miles. then brakes serviced at dealer squealed like nothing i ever heard took it back to dealer they said brakes are supposed to scream like that. and they changed to oil and truck started leaking at drain plug. Last Ford I ever buy toyota only for me

I was on my second clutch at 260,000 miles and it was still good . @@jjohnson8977

@@jjohnson8977So a 1 in a million fluke bad clutch, squeeky breaks and a $10 drain plug plastic ring got damaged by a oil changer and you right off a complete company.....the tacoma that was just replaced has whining rear differential, poor shifting auto even after update and engine dies climbing steep hills....have fun.

Everybody’s quality has declined since the 2000’s. That was peak manufacturing and engineering. A lot of those trucks 20 plus years and still on the road. Now they are engineered failed look at so the plastic in the engine bays now. Wasn’t like that back in 2k. I actually sold my 15 6.7 f250 for a 2000 excursion with the 7.3l. Almost same mileage but I know the 7.3 will last 500k the new diesels with the emissions stuff I was nearing end of life unless I wanted to spend 4-5k every time it broke down

I don't know man, Toyota cars even made in 2012 still hold up good. Priuses with 300,000 miles and more still driving around as Taxis.@@bradleylayton1741

It's not that they (any, and all manufacturers) don't know how to engineer reliable products. It's that they purposely design them to fail, so you have to keep replacing parts, so they make more money. It's sacrificing reputation for increased profit, and something all modern manufacturers unfortunately do.

GM has been on a decline since the late 70’s

I agree. The cars are garbage since 2000. The trucks and SUVs are garbage since 2007.

I haven’t seen many of the brake issues lately. That seemed to be mostly the 2020 year trucks.

@@Towtruck_Dustin It was a few years back he told me that so that makes sense.

Doesn't surprise me, GM has had brake issues for years, guess what that is one of the reasons they filed bankruptcy in 2009 to get out of all the recall brake issues they had from the 90's and forward.

Don't forget the faulty ignition switch (killled a couple of hundred people) on roughly 30 million GM vehicles worldwide that GM tried to hide.. then the recalls and lawsuit from that fiasco.. after the BILLIONS GM got from their 2009 bailout they only paid out a measly $120 million on that mess. ​@@up0820

They screwed up my Tahoe trying to move it with that E brake on . Damaged bumpers

Still have my '02 Tundra 4x4 that I bought new in '02. Still running after 22 years & nothing but routine maintenance.

if you have parts put in from gm, why do you think it is going to work the second time? have the transmission rebuilt by a qualified transmission rebuilder. they put aftermarket parts in to correct issues.

yep 2004 sold it. I never had one break down ever. bought a new tundra.

@@jjohnson8977 : How do you like the new Tundra? Any issues?

@@oneslackr so far so good. my 2004 was awesome but just got tired of it. No reason to sell other then just wanted newer (sad huh) the new one is awesome. so far no problems its the 6.5 bed 4 door TRD/limited(has good features of both TRD and limited like leather and slight lift better shocks) had it a year so far. 2021 last of v8's? it came certified from toyota dealer. Truth told I don't dirve it much but it pure pleasure when I do. Its the super brite blue called voodoo blue. It stands out lots of people liking it. the old one was boring grey. no problems so far. Smooth 4x4 shift. Its a keeper probalbly keep it another 15 years. My 2004 bought 14 years ago used, for $17k put 70k miles on it zero problems, resold it in one day for $18k. go figure

Thank You!

Thank You!

I’ve had to do that before. Unless the customer I just absolutely against skates and dragging it, I won’t get under it and do all that.

RAMs dont have that problem .... even in 2013 !!!! LOL!!!!!

@@berardoferrari just a myriad of other issues.

And Honda/ Acura and Subaru. And even Genesis

Exactly I have a 1998 Lexus LS 400 it's got 400,000 miles on it and still rides like a new car. I bought it in 2012 with 205,000 miles on it.

This is why I went with the Honda Ridgeline. I don't need that much truck and for the desert recreation that I do, the Ridgeline works great. I goes a lot more places than my previous SUV but I'm not doing any real intense off-roading. The Ridgeline is the right combination of car/crossover-SUV characteristics and truck characteristics. I'm not bagging on anybody else's choices, it's what works best for me.

The best car build on this planet to this day.​@@ronaldjones743

So...My in laws battery went DEAD AF while the one in my Durango is still working YEARS after it was supposed to be out of warranty (6 years) They fed you guys that lie and you have swallowed it whole I was a Toyota tech for 4 years...they break When I worked at a Honda/Acura dealer I replaced at least 2 transmissions a week. Suburu...yea don't get me started. Nissan is the best of the breed and most underrated but I would NEVER buy a used one after working in that dealership. You idjits do NOT believe in oil.

If that would take you four hours with the same equipment you're not much of an engineer of any sort.

Imagine the possibilities of what goes unseen that are digestible

But, don't forget the government. They are mandating all kinds of adds that make no sense, but pay their friends well.

Well when people are willing to pay an arm and a leg for crap then why not sell them crap. Look at it from their point of view, why should they improve something or make it work if there are thousands of idiots willing to keep buying junk.

Not only that but suburban dads feel the need to spend 80k or more on this crap. Gravy Seals.

but but but reliability cannot be put onto spec sheet or the marketing brochures. Just gimme HP/TQ, payload, tow rating, and maybe some gimmicky app/screen and I will buy these over MSRP.

Thank You!

2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke. Repair and reload. Had her for 20 years. Enjoy all the tips of the cap I get these days.

Yep, same here. A 2003 Silverado, from new has been the best vehicle ever for me. Still runs, drives, & looks great. If I had to replace it, likely Toyota, even if I think the're ugly. Sad but GM & Ford have slid way down & don't even get me started on Fiat/Chrysler.

My 93 is still great. The ac even works better.

Still driving 79 GMC. Can fix it, big brother doesn’t know where it goes, can pull or haul darn near anything. When my wife drives it she says the young guys wave and thumbs up, not telling her any different.

Agreed. Of all of our firetrucks we know that the one that will survive all the other ones is our oldest truck, a 2000 F550 with the 7.3L Powerstroke.

And who leads the automotive industry in recalls? FORD!

@@40calDeathPunch And Chevy/GMC doesn't acknowledge the problems, just continues to replace the faulty parts with more faulty parts creating the reason tow truck drivers make videos about GM being the leading vehicles they haul......

@@Majorbanjo They all have problems,that whole Chevy versus Ford business is high school stuff,cars these days are awful because they are putting so many damn electronics into them,a buddy was telling me about this new system BMW is coming out with to replace completely the throttle where they actually move the camshaft around to lower the idle of the car!! pure insanity,nothing wrong with a 20 dollar throttle cable,lol

Whoa now. Yes, but great for the towing business. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@dntlssAmerican vehicles are crap. Now what’s weird is BMW is doing amazing. Their B58 6 cylinder is a true powerhouse that’s bulletproof. Toyota even approved it.

That was freakin awesome sir!!! There new commercials should show there trucks on the back of wreckers with the Bob Seger's tune playing "like a rock" !!!

RAM owners thinking ( we know )

ITS A JUNK

And if you do, it's probably not too hard to turn your Ram into one.

Mine is an 09 6.7 with a 6 speed, and other than a couple of issues with the POS Dodge clutch, mine is fine too. I would refuse to have an electrically controlled transmission. I do not even like the button to turn on the 4 wheel drive. I like a lever that you pull. 100% mechanical. I wish that instead of buying this 09, I would have bought a clean 5.9 12 valve, and rebuilt everything.

@@Marc-ys9og I guess that everyone is entitled to their wrong opinion. People said the my 1965 Jeep was junk, but I sure loved mine. What kind of junk do you drive? Please tell us so that we can trash-talk to you.

GM, Ford and Ram still individually sell more trucks than Toyota.

@@kkoch666 It's because toyota doesn't make anything bigger than a little 1/2 ton pickup, the big three make alot of trucks 3/4 ton and heavier rated, that kinda kills toyotas numbers in trucks they just have nothing to offer like the bigger brands.

Toyota tundras suck a$$!!

​@@kkoch666 Yes because you couldn't buy one. It's because of inflation, shortages and dealer markups. Theyre still in high demand. I don't think you realize buddy.

Yep if their quality continues to slack Toyota might bust 150,000 units in my life time!🤣😂🤣😂

I guess that’s an improvement 😂

Still holds true. Generally if I do tow any, it’s little minor stuff.

Let's just say, I have the opti spark hahaha

Strict government regulations on emissions is most of the problem.

Garbage Manufacturing Corp, It's Not hard if it's done by qualified individuals who actually care about what their doing but GM has had a LONG history of manufacturing junk and then testing it out on the public. For years people have had Blind loyalty to this company and will buy time and time again despite having to spend thousands on repairs compared to comparable vehicles. They truly don't give a shit about quality. Toyota and Honda would never do things this way. Ford and Chrysler (or whatever the hell their called now) are the same way too.

@@enumrob Toyota and Honda also have had plenty of issues. Go and look them up.

Yes, I'm fully aware. I'm in the automotive repair / service business. I own and operate a large automotive repair facility. The difference is, in the case of Toyota when they put out some faulty 3.0 liter v6 engines, they owned up to it right away ( Didn't wait for class actions lawsuits) immediately stepped up and replaced them NO QUESTIONS ASKED. They even extended the factory warranty on the vehicle. The domestics would NEVER do such a thing. Many companies have abandoned customer service /support for quick profits. In GM's case, I can think of at least 6 customer's of ours who have newer GM's with MAJOR issues that GM will not rectify. @@ramaswamynarayanaswamy4806
