MPG? Towing Experience? 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 w/5th Wheel Camper 

Maybe GM doesn't put a panoramic sunroof because they don't want to deal with the leaking roofs.

The fuel mileage on my 3500hd came up substantially after break in which was probably around 2k miles. I was happy to find a High Country without any sunroof ( I want a roof rack without sunroof issues).

Tim, one could finance a 250k house at 7% for 30 years and the payment is 1663.25 or the truck for 5years and payment is 1643.50

I really like that color. I like that truck a lot overall actually.

Good video truck pull camper good.Cannot wait for your 2024 ford f350 test.

I recently traded in my 2020 3500HD high country dually for a 2024 3500HD high country dually and im glad I did. There are a few things i like more on the 2024 more than the 2020, for instance the rims and how they are a inch bigger, front end and interior. I also haul a 40ft 5th wheel weighing in at 14,000lbs

I think that GM should do what Ram did with the towing cameras being in the rear view mirror. Being able to just look up like you do naturally and see the camera behind the RV is an amazing idea.

You can’t beat the seats in the old gmt800s

I’m amazed that camper isn’t a trị-axle considering the length and weight!

I'd say, that you could easily, go down a set of bolt holes, on the trailer pin box or up a set of bolt holes on the truck fifth wheel hitch, to improve the clearance between the pickup bedrails and the trailer. Also, either one, of the two aforementioned adjustments, should make the Cameo fifth wheel ride level, seems low in the nose, when hooked up to the Chevy.

that truck is soo nice

I waited patiently for GM to come out with numbers on the 2024 Duramax and I have to say I was disappointed that they didn't ramp up the power a little more to keep pace with Ford. I ended up buying a 2023 GMC Denali Dually and quickly added a Banks Derringer and Banks Ram air intake and now I can say I am happy with the power. I tow a 15k fifth wheel and my last truck was a 2017 Silverado 3500 SRW and while I really liked the truck, by the time I added an aux fuel tank, ranch hand bumper with 18k winch and a few other goodies, I was always over weight towing my trailer. Now I have a cushion on weight and payload capacity. The dually doesn't get as good of fuel economy as the SRW. One question about the 2024, did you notice where the aux camera plug ins are located? are they still in the bumper plug above the trailer plug? This is a dumb design on GM's part. I bought the rear trailer camera for my fifth wheel and the wiring has to go over the tailgate to plug into the bumper plug in. The wire flexes a lot and I am on my 4 end replacement because the wire keeps breaking . Some people have switched this plug in with the one in the bed of the truck that also has a 4 pin in addition to the 7 pin, again what was GM thinking, the 4 pin is usually for boat trailers or small trailers.Anyway relocating the plugs requires an expensive extension harness for the camera leads, but the plastic housing is a direct replacement. I am in Wyoming too, Worland. Have you ever thought about doing a Wyoming style mountain pass test? Going from Buffalo off of I 25 to the top of Powder River Pass and back? This is a tough pull and really tests a trucks ability towing a trailer!

I have a 23 high country 3500 srw. That trailer is DRW territory. Add normal stuff for a trip, you'd be over pin weight for sure. You might be over pin weight as you sit possibly.

Just received my pick up truck suv hat and shirt ! Thanks Tim . Question the cameras stay on when you drive you said . Does the camera view stay on for the front end as well ? I’m in the market for a new 2500 and that would help me with parking in certain spots to let me know if I’m close enough to the curb .

Nice setup, yeah I agree you should have raised that hitch higher, I have the 2023 Duramax 3500 High Country LB, and my payload is 3821 lbs it just seems like your payload should have been higher. I have a 2023 Jayco North Point 310RLTS which is only 36' long and when I first brought it home my rear sagged about 3 3/4" so I just added some Timbrens in the rear so now it only sagged about 2 1/2" the weight of my North Point is about your weight but I just bought it home and I haven't had time to go to the scale.

Wonder if they have an up grade to the software so that the 2023 models can have the cameras on all of the time?

9 miles to the gallon is said for a diesel I have a 23 ford 7.3 gas I get 9 miles to the gallon pulling 14000 and for 60.000 dollars

Those max tow ratings are just suggestions, i have and 09 duramax 2500hd and I pull 25000lbs regularly. No problems at all, it is deleted and has a good tune that helps me down hills with no exhaust brake. I do leave my tune on tow/haul and that’s only 45hp. More hp helps but you really don’t need it, the 09 will yank whatever you want to

I want those taillights for my 1500…

So can we have 2022 trucks reprogrammed to stay on

Doing it quite easily 😊

Have you noticed dead pedal in the 24 Duramax? I just did a test drive on a 24 LTZ. From a dead stop if you hit the throttle quick at least 1/4 or 1/3 down, it had dead pedal for almost 3 seconds. I mean i hardly responded then hit real hard. Also driving around the diesel just didn't seem responsive till it spooled up. I found it rather annoying. Seemed like a lot of turbo lag. What's your experience? Did the truck learn and improve?

Yeah the seats in the chevy is the least comfortable among the big three. The back is not completely flat. Manual adjusting steering wheels. Otherwise it's a great truck. You dont seem too impressed haha. $83k is actually not too bad compared to a RAM and Ford equivalent, even the gmc. A "low optioned" lariat f250/350 with a 6.7 powerstroke is 85k+ already. You put in lariat ultimate package and HO powerstroke and its 90k+. That HO powerstroke is fast though!

All right. Maybe you can help me. I live in Massachusetts. I want to order a new 2024 GMC Silverado 1500 but when I look on the website for GMC to build all I get is the option for the 2023. How do I get a 1500 2024 ordered?

Tim have they started e-coating the frames on the 24s?

Looks like the camper will hit the bed if yoy get any side tipping at all? Turn on a hill and crunch.

83k is reasonable for LTZ with diesel....73k without 1 trim below top in any other brand is alot more guaranteed Paid 65k + TTL for 23 gas HC that had 73k sticker......now a loaded LT is 63k so trucks aren't getting cheaper Remember when HC was " too expensive" with 63k .MSRP a few years ago.....should have bought one then😂 They are only going up

get the DRW!

Some questionable things I noticed right away after buying my high country… 1) no 12v outlet. Anywhere. 2) no digital (numerical) coolant temp gauge 3) no adjustable pedals…. 4) rear seats in no way fold flat 5) seats seem really firm for a high end truck I love the truck otherwise. But it seems like the engineers are not truck users…

Short or Long Bed for a 5th Wheel. I’m new to trucks.

Ford seats are a full inch wider and longer... talking seat cushion, not back

The seats in my 2018 GMC Sierra suck compared to my 06 Sierra. 😅

It is mind boggling that diesel is cheaper than regular gas now in the US. It hasn't been like that since Obama began the Fundamental Transformation of America. To answer your question about towing, I have a 2011 Dodge Ram 3500 dually and I bought that because I tow over 15,000 lbs. Once you start to get close to 20,000 lbs dually's are all but a must have especially when the wind starts to pick up. I've driven single axle 3500's before, and those back tires move enough you just burn through tires like crazy and at times it is just not safe.

Great truck panoramic roof is overrated

Honestly i'd rather have seen the gas truck pulling this weight, we all know the diesel can do this not impressed, put at least 20,000lb for diesel. 14,000lb for gas I'm impressed.

Love GM trucks but seats are shit....I.have High Country now and had LT last year....they are the same aside from cloth vs leather .... Everything else is great... Always gonna be something I run seat cushion and blocks under the front where it bolts to the body to tilt seat back more... Had 21 Ram and seats were better but didn't like rest of the truck Buddy has 22 Ford (will never buy) and his seats are by the far the best....they nailed it with seat comfort... There just isn't any foam in GM seats....bolstering and more foam....

Do you need a CDL with that 15,000 pound camper?

this crazy inflation all started when nobody wanted to work after COVID and employers had to start offering $15 an hour to work at McDonald's and even higher to work other places because these employers aren't going to absorb the extra cost so you know who does.... if people would've got off their ass and worked when it was time to go back to work it may have not been as bad but the government paying people not to work didn't help so now we have $85K trucks and $5 milk etc.

SRW trucks towing a big 5th wheel is not the way to go.

70 mph is way too fast to be pulling that much weight. It isn't that the big bad diesel cant do it, its the fact that you cant get it stopped in a reasonable distance. Taking it up to 80 is just ignorant and irresponsible. Ever wonder why they limit semi's to 65 or 70 mph? It isn't that they can't pull it that fast, it is the fact they can't get it stopped in an emergency situation. It is simple science!

$83,000 puts that truck out of range for a lot of people. I guess you could finance it for the rest of your life!😂 GM is behind the curve on power output. Ford again has raised the bar for HP and torque at 500 and 1200 available. That fifth wheel clearance on the bed is going to cost them sales. GM engineers are missing the boat on why people buy a truck like this. As far as the bed is concerned, they’re putting form over function. It’s okay if you want a pretty truck that doesn’t do all the things you would like it to do!😂 All that for $83,000. Sign me up. On second thought, forget it!🤣
