Silverado LT Vs Custom trim level DIFFERENCES explained 

I absolutely love the custom trail boss. I can’t wait to buy one in 10 years when I can afford it 😂😂

Almost seems like the custom is an upgraded work truck with a little more bells and whistles without stepping up to the LT

I saw that you put in Stradman order in.. 👍 Cool he went thru you to get his C8. When Im in the position to get my Corvette I will go thru you dude.

Looks like gas mileage isn't getting better with all the new technology added to the sticker price.

Just bought a custom this week and in comparison to the LT I'm happy, any other additional features I can do myself ie fog, steering audio, change out bucket for console etc. All you need is ebay and a wrench or 2

Nice switch from the C8 really getting tired of listening tocthe over hype sorry still love your videos.

I wish the cylinder deactivation had a on off switch.

Love the no nonsense approach to describing the two. It is refreshingly honest. ☮️

So I leased a new Ford Ranger yesterday and I have some observations. The entire process of buying a vehicle really sucks. Its honestly an experience like no other in your life. I mean this NO disrespect to you, its just the business it is and always has been. The salesman is the best part of the buying process. They have always been helpful and actually work hard to get the vehicle you want. They will walk miles with you on the lot, take you for a test drive. They honestly are the most enjoyable part. Now here we go! What freaking astounds me, I mean astounds me is two things. The sales guy takes the numbers, all the numbers, trade in, down payment, and vehicle numbers to some other dude. Those guys could be in that room talking for 15-20 minutes. Come on, what kinda BS is going between them? Whoever that guy is, the guy that comes up with the "monthly payment" is super slick. Usually the customer just talks to them in passing but they are super slick. The next thing that just blows my mind, I mean BLOWS my mind is the super, duper slick, fast talking finance guy. My hatred of this part of the process could not be described in words. They go through 500 products you DO NOT need, trying pump up your monthly payment 30-50 bucks a month. I say no to everything and I get a look like you are an A-hole. I can tell the finance guy is pissed at that point. In my humble opinion the dealership could cut serious costs by getting rid of the clown that comes up with the "monthly payment" and the useless finance manager. They could have the sales guy do the entire thing and save two big salaries. Have some administrative assistant print out all the papers, sign those papers with the salesperson you are comfortable with and call it a day. I apologize if I offended you Chevy Dude, its just my observations of my experiences of buying many, many vehicles, every 3 years I go through this process and it astounds me more every time. I know you are a good and honest salesperson so I hope I did not offend you.

I can't believe there's no center console or storage on the custom, I know it's cheap, but not THAT cheap.

50,000$ for a half ton... still blows my mind

What I don't understand is why Chevy stopped making the single cab. Correct me if I'm Wrong but I believe the only single cab is a 1/2ton wt. And the 2500hd only comes in a crew cab now.

Mike can you do a video on the 2020 WT Silverado with the 4.3L? Not much on youtube about this truck.

I hate the way manufacturers shut you out of optioning lower models how you want them. If you don’t want all the gadgets of the LT, but would like the upgraded consoles and/or stereo, or power seats, wtf does Chevy care? I know it’s all about the Benjamins... but so is up-optioning a Custom. Back in the day, you could buy whatever option you wanted a la carte. Now, you have to buy a bunch of other crap you don’t want or need, just to get the few things you actually desire. Ridiculous. No wonder the aftermarket industry is so lucrative. EDIT: If you’re a tall guy, you do NOT want that base seat. You will trade that truck in on a Chiropractor after a long cross-country drive.

It’s pathetic how everyone is forced to get the base model or the custom because the LT and up front end looks horrendously ugly. First truck ever that the truck gets uglier as you get to higher trims. Why does the custom look so beefy and aggressive but the LT and higher looks like a cheesy Chinese knock off pickup?

Love the trucks, but a monthly payment would be almost as much as my house payment lol. Between Silverados costing an arm and a leg and the Blazer being fwd, I'm just gonna drive my '07 Rado until it turns to dust.

Forgot about the 6 speed auto in the custom and the 8 speed in the LT’s.

thought the LT trim came with. bose

The custom grill reminds me of the old 99-06 silverados

So my Ford Focus SE has radio controls, Blue Tooth and Sirius XM in a $16,000 car a $45,000 truck doesn't?

That lt trail boss is bad ass.

THANK YOU!!! Finally someone who makes a review about this two trucks and can properly explain the difference between the two engines...well done sir!

And the award for the best chevy salesman in the country goes to.......(drum roll).......ME!!!!! 🤣

LED should be standard nowadays. Hated it when they have different faces. 🤬

he didnt go over the 4x4 shyt. i got a custom and it has No low range transfer case, 1st yr gm has done this, sad

My husband loves his 2019 Silverado Custom

Get the LED out! Love the headlights on the Custom over the small ones on the LT.

THANKS Chevy Dude! I just asked two different sales people at the same dealership some of these questions and they had absolutely no idea what I was talking about, especially about the engine!

Love my Custom and so did my Wallet Money saved i paid whole year of insurance and half a year of my truck pymnts. Thx Chevy

Remote Keyless entry is listed under standard features on the window sticker of the custom. Only remote start is added with the optional package.

So hard to find a Custom Trail Boss. Places usually have one and it’s white.

Hey thank you for doing a comparison video of these two truck I been looking for a video just like this ..thank you

Just bought a 2019 LT trail boss from your dealer!! Joe was really good to work with. Very clean and professional dealership!!

I was sold on the custom as soon as he mentioned only the LT came with auto stop

Can you do an update on the 3.0 diesel, what trims it will be coming in please? Maybe a release date frame?

I like the way the custom looks better than the LT. Could you do one in a regular cab short wheel base configuration with the V8? Also is the radio Bluetooth capable?

I've only seen a handful of the new Silverados on the road just like the new ranger I don't think either is selling to well.

Hey Chevy Dude, what's up with these dealerships not going down on the prices? They say we match the internet price, so we don't give discounts! after hours of talking and waiting one dealer(priced reasonable) offered me $250 discount and the other one (priced higher) offered me $500 off

The only thing I do not like is on the custom you have no Usable center consulBut in reality and you can't spend that much money the custom will be the way to go

Wish you compares just a standard Custom and a standard LT.

Still, for me, the biggest turn off is the bumper color. Getting all black works, but I want a different color and I feel the black bumper throws it off :-/

The push start ignition can be easily stolen over a turn key ignition with an immobilizer. All you need is a key fob amplifier from eBay.

I bought a 2019 custom at roughly $42k and 2 weeks later they dropped the price on the 2019 LT to $44k. I called the dealer and they wouldn’t do a single thing for me. I’m still pissed about it

I actually like more the custom trail boss grill!!!

can you get the custom trail boss with the "chevrolet" grille but with the LT lights? prefer the custom grille but the lt lights

Need a video on how to go about trading your vehicle in if you owe more than what its worth. I get papers from dealerships saying they will pay my loan on the vehicle off but i know its not worth that much

The discounts are amazing on the LT trail Boss and the RST Z71 but I'm waiting for the new 2020 diesel.

Great side × side comparison! It really helps to see the differences with one truck beside the other!

Both are sweet trucks. Thanks for sharing Mike.

Subtract the $1395 from the 41,900 and settle for the v6 and that truck will still cost you $40,505 . LET THAT SINK IN!! That's just over $40,000 for glorified work truck with a v6. What ever happened to the basic v8 powered 4x4 that only cost $32k, was tough as nails, and 250,000 miles later still ran right? When I need to replace my current truck, I'll be buying used for sure.

Can’t wait for 2020 when you can the 6.2 in the trail boss and the RST. Didn’t make sense for the RST not to have the 6.2

Cool those trucks are really starting to grow on me. Well the Corvette order is just 9 days away so the new truck will just have to wait.

Figured the Custom would have higher end stuff on it since it's called custom! I do love the grill on the custom.

Seems like the Custom Trailboss is more popular than the LT TrailBoss. I see a lot more Customs than the LTs. Trucks are too expensive, I'll wait till they become a used truck in a couple years.

It's hilarious to listen to Ford ads on your channel. LOL

Great video like always CD!!! One suggestion... Start lifting those trucks bro. A dealer here in Texas is doing that and they sold them as soon as they can get them. A simple lift (some times just a leveling kit), rims and tires... Hot hot hot!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!!,👍👍👍

I immediately put some LEDs in the headlights of my custom¡

Just curious Is there any way to get one of these trucks with a auto dimming rear view mirror besides getting a HC or LTZ?

Did you ever notice that Chevy Dude's hand gestures when he talks are very similar to Lars Ulrich of Metallica? Just an observation. Great video, Mike!

Thank you for the information on The custom trail boss and the LT trail boss now I know the difference 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just bought a 2019 Silverado rst 2 wheel drive 3 months ago. I am starting to have transmission problems. When it downshifts when I come to a stop the best way I could describe it is it clunks. Talk to the dealer about it they're telling me don't worry that's normal. It sure doesn't feel normal. What can I do?

Awesome detailed review comparison. Very helpful for me when it came to choosing! Lt!

I wish they would lower them a foot so I could actually get to stuff in the back of the pickup. I just drive on regular roads and not off road.

Very dated as the “Custom” for 2024 has remote start, key fob, available dynamic fuel management 5.3 liter V8, and 10 speed transmission. LT still has more luxuries.

The missing buttons on the steering wheel is a terrible decision costing them sales. Imagine paying 45k for a truck with buttons missing on the wheel. The competition doesn’t do this. GM , FIX YOUR PACKAGING!

The only thing I disliked about the custom why doesn’t come with LED lights? Seriously still old lights set up whilst LT comes with cool LED lights. I settled down with LT duramax which is the best engine ever so in love with my truck. I have a question what’s the max size of tires I can put on a Silverado 2022 factory height not lifted that doesn’t affect turning points or touch the arch around the tires?

I don't much like the headlights on new trucks. They are very bright,mounted very high up, and pulling up behind my sedan, burn out my corneas. Very annoying reflection in my rear view mirror! $28300 base price on the Custom is outrageous, overpriced, and a poor value. You can't get a regular cab short bed either. Bring back the Stepside version please. I loved both of mine

New Chevy interiors still are years behind. Seats are awful....no contour at all and wear out so fast. Sad I’ve bought Chevy trucks my whole life but man they are pushing my loyalty. Last good Chevy truck was in 2007 IMO. You can have my 2016.

Consumer Reports recommends avoiding the 2021 Chevy Silverado According to the Consumer Reports’ list of the 10 least reliable cars, the 2021 Chevy Silverado is the least reliable option. There are actually only two trucks on this list, and the other truck is the Chevy Colorado.

I bought a 2019 silverado 2500 with a royal teuck body. It was pretty much an expensive base model truck. Can I upgrade my truck by buying used parts from a higher trim level? Like my steeringwheel doesn't have radio buttons but can I buy a used one that does have them and install it? Are connections already there or would that consists or running the harnesses for that and or installing software to make it work? Thanks.

Would love to see some videos on the colorado every once in a while.

Just had the worst experience ever at 2 Chevy dealers here. One told me go ahead and surrender your truck (lemon law). They have my truck. Did that and now all of a sudden they don’t have my truck. Other dealer sales person lies, and gets upset when you call him out. He started arguing with me yesterday when I called him out.

As much as they are now, I just get more happy ever since I paid my '11 LT off. I'll love that 5.3 til the day it dies. Never a lick of trouble and always answers the call when I got to run across a field for a brush fire, or haul rock or dirt.

Man I don't know. I am still enjoying my 08 Tundra with 197,000. Miles on it but I would like to have bluetooth. But I can use an aux plug in.

These new trucks make my 06 Silverado look like a mid size. I just don't get it. Bring back the 80s trucks when they were made to be used by normal, working guys. I even lowered the rear of mine so it's easier to load. I don't want a stepladder to use it.

Great content Mike!!!! Love your C8 videos. When I’m ready to purchase the C8 I would love to do business with you.

Why they cannot make a crew cab 3/4 phone heavy duty the 62 l And keep it at 30000 are under no their bodies rates not your body has a Union job with a making a 100 grand a year Some people are lucky just to have a job and they're tired

He said walk into a dealership "well armed"😳bleep that out🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣but i know exactly what he really meant im just playing😂

What is coming for the 2020 for the custom trail boss and the 2020 Colorado Z71?

Do people REALLY pay these prices for barely passable trucks? Asking for a friend...

I hate that gm was actually stupid enough to put a tacky ass “custom” badge on a truck. Just seems super cheap. That would be an instant removal if I owned one of those trucks.

Chevy boys driving there new 2020 Trail Boss LT with 2012 Silverado interior😂 awful inside!

When are we going to start seeing the 1500 duramax

I have 2011 Silverado get 15 mpg 40k plus truck you should get keyless entry

Ehh I’ll stick with my 07 vmax LTZ fully loaded to the max, I love my Chevy.☝️

hi Mike. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c I knew it was going to be good

I just bought a 2wd. Glad I got the LT but wouldn’t mind if the auto start/stop was missing.

I like the custom exterior much better! I suppose it must be more expense to let someone do detailed ordering on a truck! I would like the 6.2 in the custom and be able to add or take away certain components for a true custom truck! I hate having to take something a designer thinks I should have especially since a vehicle is the second most expensive thing one will buy!

Power Wagon Rules Them All....The Prime Lies Not....😔😔😔😔😔😔

Which trim level has the console in middle that flips up into a seat where it has 3 front seats? So I can seat up 2 6 people in the truck.

make a video on the 2019 ZR2.... I love mine, it's GREAT !!! and make sure it's RED HOT, please. thanks.

Can I change the front grill? LT to Custom? I got the Custom but I love chevy logo

Lt trail boss doesn’t have led turn signals nor led fog lights. They are halogen.

Why would you want closing grill shutters that block air from going into the engine?

Interior still looks like shit. Hopefully they step up their game to compete with Ram interiors

Why do they call it CUSTOM there is nothing custom about it. Its a base model. Car manufacturers today are completely out of their mind. I am a chevy man all the way but u do have to say that CUSTOM TRUCK IS JUST A BASE MODEL AND THEY WANT OVER 40 THOUSAND DOLLARS GET REAL. PLAIN JANE CRAP

Still waiting on suburban videos

Way to much crap to brake. I'll keep my 03 GMC 2500

My 2017 custom has way more futures than this custom. I got the active shutters. Got the largest tow package, highest gearing. External oil and transmission cooler, locking read differential, 4x4, heated rear window and mirrors, center console, chrome rings around the speed dials and all that, not the small screen, HID projector headlights. Keyless entry. I installed heated seats, neoprene seat covers (neoprene rocks!), tow mirrors with running lights and sequential turn signal. Remote start (And more stuff) Only thing I wish I had was electronic drivers seat and fog lights. Seems the 2016-2018 custom was too good of a deal, so they downgraded it some.
