Recently we published an epic 75 minutes towing comparison video featuring 4 different powertrains from 4 different manufacturers. Some people found 75 minutes of Tim just a bit too much to digest at one time, so we've split that video up in to 4 bite size pieces, each focusing on one truck.
In the second video of this series, see how the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 with 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel engine performed in our tow test, towing a travel trailer over Wildcat Hills in Nebraska.

Auto 4wd does engage the clutch in the transfer case a little bit and does provide a small amount of power to the front full time, so unless you need it i highly recommend leaving it in 2wd for longevity of the TS and improved fuel economy.

@time_on_target 2 года назад

I wish you would tow at 65-70mph. Nobody wants to do a 1000 mile trip at 55mph, I just did one to Moab. It took me 14 hours at 70mph vs 18 hours towing at 55mph. Towing at 55mph on a 75mph highway and you’re more of a hazard to those around you than if you were towing at 65-70mph.

@drivecleat 2 года назад

what was the difference in fuel consumption between the two speeds. My experience is there is a major difference in cost for the extra 15 mph.

@jeffs2809 2 года назад

Yep, I’d say 65mph would be a much more realistic speed.

@aroundthegroundlandscaping7107 2 года назад

Your a hazard to who. Minimum speeds on most us highway is 45. You should only drive at speeds your comfortable with And to drive at higher speed your not comfortable with could lead to a potential accident that return is totally unnecessary because people like you seem to try to dictate what other people should do.

@time_on_target 2 года назад

@@aroundthegroundlandscaping7107 *you’re* Speed deltas is what I’m referring to. If you’re going 55mph and the speed limit is 75mph, that’s a delta of 20mph. If the general flow of traffic is 75mph you’re not flowing with traffic, you’ve become an obstacle everyone must navigate around. I think 65mph is a good compromise and reasonable speed to tow.

Since diesel fuel foams up when being pumped into the tank, it will often trip the nozzle early. Probably why it tripped at 2.4 gallons.

@dudeman5788 2 года назад

@redracerproductions Год назад

Diesel fuel seems to foam more than gas so it's more important to let it sit for a bit then squeeze the nozzle for another click. About the seats, I have a '15 Sierra SLT and have spent many 10+ hour days driving without issue. I really appreciate that you consistently share the payload rating of trucks you test.

@nevillehughart2574 2 года назад

I have 2020 Silverado 3.0 Duramax. And I have found that the 4 wheel auto function drops the mileage 2 mpg towing and up to 7mpg normal combined.

While the MPG is nice to look at and compare it really does nothing to help me know the difference in towing performance between the 3.0L and the two V8s.

@MrSweetHart6976 2 года назад

You should really do the "wait a few seconds and double click" fill up method, especially with diesel that can be a bit foamy. That second click isn't going to over fill the tank or do damage, and will give you more consistent results.

Hi Tim, strange that you say you drive in “auto 4wd”, the manual and the transmission experts I know ALWAYS say to drive in 2WD Hi, 4wd auto actually keeps the front diff “locked and loaded”, meaning engaged and turning, thus more drag, less fuel economy. By the way, up grades are called inclines 😀 great video

The manual doesn't state to ALWAYS drive in 2WD. It says you can use it whenever the road conditions are variable and 2WD will return slightly better fuel economy.

@eddyhughes3735 2 года назад

I heard you say 1000.00 to inspect the belt,a Chevy dealer quoted me 2750.00, I don't own a truck but plan to purchase one later, was that a dealership that said 1000.00?

@Pickuptrucktalk 2 года назад

That price comes from the comments on the other video.

Couple time books show this service from 7.3-12hrs. Parts around $200 if you decide to change a cover plate that has sealant all over the backside or. Pay extra for the tech to clean the surface.

@MrTonyPiscatelle Год назад

$1,000 bucks in your dreams, You won't find a dealership garage that will touch that job for that amount of money. And 10 years if its just used periodically. Most people are putting 30 K a year on a PU truck. You failed to mention anything about the transfer case which will have to come out too if you have 4X4.

I have '21 1500 AT4 D'Max and I tow a Geo Pro 19BH with a dry weight of about 3,300 lbs., plus, WD hitch, two tanks full propane, battery, gear and food, so more like 3,800 approx. I towed it last weekend and my average MPG while towing 160 miles was 14.1 MPG which is my towing average. Total tank average was 21.1 MPG. My normal combined average is 23.4 MPG with a best of 26.3. Not bad for a large 4x4 truck. What is the weight of the GD you were pulling? I don't recall hearing it on the video. By the way, I've had a total of 4 "crank no start" episodes in the 13K miles since new. Considering waiting on the LZ0 or get the Derringer if Banks finally releases it.

@Pickuptrucktalk 2 года назад

It was around 5k lbs IIRC. This is part of a larger video and unfortunately some of the specs got accidentally left off.

I was paying attention the whole video to hear the dry weight of the camper cause I do have a 5k Lbs dry / 7600 max toy hauler camper. I totaled my 2020 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi with etorque last month thanks to a lady who ran a red light. Now I'm looking for a diesel full size pick up truck to tow my toy hauler/camper. I think this is a good choice because of fuel economy vs gas. The only thing that worries me was the towing rating and the engine performance compared to a bigger duramax engine. Afe watching this video i think is a good choice.

Tim great review sir! Last year i leased a 2021 GMC crew cab four wheel drive with the 3.0 diesel. In winter of 2020 a local dealer was selling mid grade trucks like mine for $47 to $48k and lease about $450 for 15k miles per year. So I leased one. Powertrain was incredible and my friends loved driving it. It had a 1750 pound payload and that fancy tailgate. I had gravel and mulch get into tailgate hinge areas so i hated that multi pro tailgate. I also didn't care for the poor handling in corners....too soft. And i was stupid in that i needed a 6.5 foot bed and this one had the 5 8 bed. I sold the lease earlier this year. If i ordered a 2022 i would get the max tow package which gives you 3.73 axles, another spring and heavier rear axle casting and gearset. Unfortunately the 2022s are much more expensive and they put in a console shift which i hate! Might have to go hd!

@rollinsms 2 года назад

Can't get 3.73 with the 3.0 Duramax. You can't get the Max towing package in the AT4.

@slmjake 2 года назад

@@rollinsms sir I think they announced the max tow available for 2022.5 and I think for sure 2023. It would come with 3.73

@leespeyrer8424 Год назад

I was told you can get a 342 rear if you order it but I think the 232 is too small to be performing this task of pulling . It is sold more in the new trucks for better fuel mileage .

All these new trucks pimping new engines. My 2012 F150 5.0 FX does the same mileage still. Smoking mirrors. Nothing new other smells like new truck.

How did this tow compared to your current 3.73 gears

@Pickuptrucktalk Год назад

IIRC they both have the same gear ratio.

@MattChat56 Год назад

@@Pickuptrucktalk o, I thought in your video you said the GMC AT4 had 3.23 gears and your current Silverado had 3.73 gears and max tow package!

@Pickuptrucktalk Год назад

@@MattChat56 Actually, you made me go back and watch it. This video is 1.5 years old. Honestly, I couldn't tell you there was a big difference. I mean, I don't recall remarking on the 3.23 axle ratio. The reality is these days with the 10-speed transmissions and drive modes, rear axle ratio doesn't mean nearly as much as it used to.

I’m surprised you hate the seats so much. My 2010 Silverado had lazy boys for seats. I love ‘em. But I think I can over look the seats for a full size truck that gets 30ish mpg. But I did order a refreshed sierra diesel. We’ll see….

@Pickuptrucktalk 2 года назад

Love the 2010 seats. Something changed in their seats and they aren’t the same comfort.

3.0 duramax diesel, tows 8.5k and ford ranger tows 7.5k ...this truck looks so much larger than ranger, but what a negligent difference in towing capacity, very dissapointed in gmc

@ludah99 2 года назад

So I know you hate the GM seats , but I sat in the GM, Ford, RAM, Toyota and Nissan at the Chicago auto show and it seemed like Ford and GM had the hardest seats , Toyota and Nissan was decent and Ram was the most comfortable to me. I have a 2014 Sierra and they seems fine to me, seems like they need to soften the newer ones up and get rid of the AFM in the gas engines and they would be a decent truck again. But definitely like the 3.0 duramax other then that stupid belt they put on oil pump.

If the new gen gm trucks is like the last gen gm trucks, driving in auto 4wd is like driving with the hubs locked, which lessens mpg’s slightly. Now a question, gm says they are going full electric in 2025. Does that mean the electric avalanche will be their only entry in the 1/2 ton truck market in 2025?

@Pickuptrucktalk 2 года назад

@@jttribe7683 I’d say you are right at the limit of this truck. The 830 lbs of hitch weight isn’t going to leave a lot for passengers and it is pretty long meaning more for the wind to push around. It will come down to how confident you are towing.
