That was said to get the truck jumped off if the battery died for some reason, which is the primary purpose.....restart the truck. Can you raise or lower power windows with a dead battery? No, of course not...same thing with the power tail gate.

rlhmarines I understand that. But my tail gate should be able to open without electronics

I agree should have kept a mechanical linkage.

at least a mechanical over ride...

agree. needs AN OVERRIDE.

battycowboy >>> "trail supervisor" ... I love it! ;-)))

I'm calling it that from now on. LMAO.

Than

That's on top of the z71 package

“Trail Supervisor” = High-Larious! LOL!

They should've added vents back in 2010 like Ford. That's one of the most annoying parts of GM trucks to me is the lack of amenities for the rear seats despite trucks clearly becoming family vehicles.

My 07 classic has vents for the rear

My 03 silverado ss has rear vents

And you don't think it's completely stupid that they removed those rear vents for two successive generations of their most profitable vehicles?

jacob bennett their a little slow

alkhulaify 302 it’ll come quick. That thing is a mess.

alkhulaify 302 🤫😒

Nobunaga Oda haters gonna hate

Lol... I wonder if the "Chevy Shake" comes standard on the new GM Trucks.

Donald V8 😂😂

55YAMAHARACER55 I never knew that GM stopped installing them. My 2000 Silverado has them and I figured they all did.

Same, I wish my 2011 crew cab had them. My friend's 2000 xcab had them. Such a step backwards

Never buy the 1st year of a new model.

Back seat vents

Brett Young wrong

zimks ohhhh lol

The font is clearly different.. and that "super duty tailgate assembly" first appeared on a 2002 avalanche lol way to be dumb

Probably weight/cost. The Z71 has a proper transfer case if you want that.

George Montes they’ve never released a stock lifted truck 👎🏻

😂😂😂 trailboss isn't an appearance package

Lipstick on a pig

Ohhh they slapped in $100 spacers.

For real the Trail Boss should at least be some premium dssv or other shocks. At least it’s good looking IMO. Not damn 6.2L is a deal breaker for me. GM is missing the mark keeping the 6.2L in the top trims. I don’t personally care for the 5.3L for all that money. At least it gets the 8 speed in lower trim. Compare to the competition and the 5.3L isn’t quite enough. We’ll see what this new chassis does for it.

MrWaffles that drives me crazy too.

It is straight now.

cjeam anyone who is really going to off road the truck will spec on with the 2 speed. The single speed is fine for someone who only really uses 4x4 in inclement weather.

cjeam Having low range isn't necessary but is it it is extremely nice. I mean I'm putting a low range transfer case in my 2 Wheel ranger just to have that torque if I need it.

If you watched closely one of the truck had 4h and 4l before they talked about a single speed transfer case

Just means you'll get an overheated transmission and brake fade right when you need them most. Yeah, good job GM. Lol!

Same here.....I like it

Mike Braz they make trucks for white collar now. Blue collar no longer matters to them

You bet it will be lol they probably going to charge a nice price for that option

Ford and ram had power tail gates before gm.........

Line up 20 people; yourself included. And they all ask you about the tailgate. 4 hate it, 12 love it and the rest don't care. What do you think they'll do?

Not power up though

nathan They are going to do more with the truck. But they add in a whole new amount of technology which pushed their budget.

Eric Fox >>> bad allocation of funds, I'd call it, and horrible priorities.

Tactickle Shtooper I disagree. Chevy has made this truck more capable. For both towing, off roading and daily convince. The truck is more fuel efficient and has more frame strength.

Did fuel economy improve? I haven't seen numbers. How is it better off road?

nathan yes about 2mpg on DFM engines. If you watch the 2 videos tfl post. About it. They explain that they have a kind of crawl control now.

An electric tailgate in a truck seems like an item doomed to fail. The soft damped tailgate was a genius idea, but not this.

Them steeltoes are sure gonna wear that sensor out.

Anthony Hernandez haha I know. They wanted to make the opening bigger for steel toed boots... and then put a lane sensor in it lol. Perfect place for some big dirty boots to beat the shit out of it.

The idiot that designed that end gate is probably the same idiot gm engineer that made it so that if the battery on a gm goes dead and you try to start it then they key is stuck in the ignition

you don't have to get the sensors , and the electric tail gate is also an option. i know this might be mind blowing but if you think these are bad features (dramatic pause) don't get them. lol

I agree bro

My question is why have gmc and. Chevy. Gmc actually has some different tech choices

Ryan Allen I not trying to be rude but I can not make any sense of what you just said.

redd7188 GM has a net worth of 132 billion, you really think they ran out of money LOL

zimks first off I never they did. I said that I have heard people say this and judging by the complaints of the new truck having a half baked appearance there might be some truth to that. Second I agree with you, why would GM not budget a project for their cash cow correctly. Next you really should go check out what Mary Bara the leader of GM has been preaching. She has an agenda to spend less and ask more for GM products. We can see this with the current Camaro it is the most expensive and lowest selling of the big three muscle cars. Last do you really know how net worth works? Let's say I own a company with two warehouses and a fleet of trucks. They may say my net worth is 2 million when you add it all together. But we know that vehicles depreciate and property value can drop. So me and my assets may only be worth about half a million if I had to sell it off. So those numbers could be very deceiving considering it was not that long ago that GM filed for bankruptcy.

redd7188 I want to know the high up GM official “people” that have been saying those things, I’m sure those “people” really knows what they’re talking about LOL just because ford slaps a shitty 4 banger in there mustangs and sells them to 40 year old house wives who think they’re getting a fast car doesn’t mean they’re the a better vehicle, a ZL1 will walk a Mustang and a Hellcat and that’s Facts. Doesn’t every business owner want to cut overhead and make money off the product they are selling???

it was probably a potential customer looking to make the switch to chevy. lol

Isn't that the TFL raptor?

It was actually sitting back there laughing.

LMAO! The raptor was out there bored asking itself what the silly Silverados were doing pretending to be offroading.

Nah, it was actually broken,,, You know Ford!!.

ForzaClutch For better or worse, it looks sportier. Looks really cool on the red truck with the black grill. I'm not sure if it looks too great on the more expensive ones. I think it's ok though. The square ones do limit your tire size a LOT more. The Colorado he's a rounded square shape. They're pretty cool. I think they probably should've just copy and pasted that design.

Well Silverado still has a steel bed soooo...whats your point?

David N Chevy should make a commercial about how superior they are to Ford in pretty much every way.

I'm Your Huckleberry That isn't true.

David N They probably will considering the Chevy DOES have a better, stronger bed. So...?

Sam Jacobs lots of blank wasted space on this truck

Yes, totally agree on those mirrors. Toss up between what's worse, the side mirrors, front end or body panels. Hell I could keep going and going......

Conspiracy theory - the past models mirrors are so similar that they can be interchanged... Not any more!

Jake Stoler no it doesn't

I have a 2017 and I like my interior way better. I does seem scattered. Not a fan

Rigo s no even the new Toyota Land Cruiser has a manual tailgate

Lusty Yeah that absolutely won't be standard. I wish they stressed that in the video.

KZfaq User Yeah but you can also just use your phone and Android Auto for "free" Navigation. Works seemlessly for me and is incredibly accurate.

Ditto. I have an 18 Silverado with no navigation. Apple CarPlay and Google maps solves all my problems for free.

Bill Waterhouse why do you switch car so often? Are you leasing or buying?

sothickitssickk my needs change and or the incredible amount of tech. updates...more a want than a need. I purchase.

Why do people buy new trucks every year. My 2005 duramax that i got brand new still works just fine

K-396 -1 yeah my 05 only has 35,000 miles, no need to buy another one. Never around long enough to enjoy the one I have.

well if you have the money why not spend it :)

Tommy Hammond keep telling yourself that. Fact is that it's playing catch-up and still fails.

I guess to each his own. I just dont see this as a Chevy truck. I am a Ford guy but I liked the last couple of silvs especially the 08?-12?. After that they were nice too. This one ( to me) looke like a. godawful Tundra , especially the sides. What a shame actually.

Donald Hungate The Ram resembles to the Tundra actually and I saw a new Ram the other day and I thought it was ugly af, no joke, it was all bubbly and weird looking with Tundra headlights. You gotta see vehicles in person to really know what you think of it. You may like it or you may not.

DWings but Honda and Toyota is trustworthy right?

Bob Dennis lol

Great point....

I hate that the host keeps pointing out the trailer wiring location It has always been there. Chevy didn't move it

1. That’s only on certain models that don’t have z71 system which is basic lt models or less 2. They have had the trailer wiring there for over 10 years (something that took ford a couple years ago to move) 3. I keep my jumpers underneath my seat in my truck, Why would you need to go in there if your truck is dead? Tell me how many scenarios does the average truck user would have there truck die and HAVE to go back there, I live in the freezing cold Minnesota and cant possibly think of a scenario where I would need to go in there 4. I bet you won’t be able to even tell it’s there

jay bugni sounds like you love Ford, also sounds like you love spending a lot of time and money on major repairs.

I'm Your Huckleberry yeah have fun with your many recalls on this feminine piece of shit. The inside is plastic, the suspension is garbage. Literally all the comments saying they hat Ford and Ram but think they are way better

Finally a positive reply. So many haters. Don’t like it then don’t buy the damn thing. People bitch and whine about plastic shit and then whine about the price being too high. Maybe they should go buy a Tata. Thanks for your service shipmate.

6806goats1 same here. I think it was about time for GM to step outside the box and completely redesign the Silverado and Sierra line. #Chevyrules

I like the front, reminds me of a face of a Gundam.

Took me awhile but now I like it a LOT more than the current Silverado.

People just come up with stuff to complain about. I still think they have the best engines on the market even though the first thing I would do would be by a tuner and disable the cylinder deactivation. All three brands of American trucks kind a look like spaceships from the future. I don’t see how you can justify which ones ugly which ones good looking. I think the interior looks great in it. I don’t have any grout with my 2013 it gets better fuel mileage that about anybody I know that has a full-size truck it’s comfortable so far and 75,000 miles it’s been reliable. There’s some kind of GM hating trend going on right now. If you look at all the problems forwards had with their line of Triton V8’s and all the diesels wiring fires all the way back into the 90s. Then you take dodgers problems with their 4.7 V8 and 3.7 V6 and they’ve had a few problems with some of the Hemi engines And Lord knows their transmissions and dashes crumbling. You could put 200,000 miles on some of those trucks and sweep up the entire dash in a dustpan. They’ve honestly had way more serious problems than GM has. But good Lord they took a bell out which is just a loan in my book and they paid it back. Nobody ever says a word about dodge. It’s all just drama And keyboard warriors.

عمر الزهيري ugly truck

Darius Hope 😂😂👍🏻

Darius Hope I reported you.

Opal Beifong hush

Nope. You've been reported for unwanted spam which also includes all those stupid comments you've been posting. 🙂

pontiacGXPfan THAT UGLY THING HELL NAW!

cl m you can't afford it anyway. Go back to your Honda

It doesn't even need to be Cadillac. Get the Buick guys on it; in many ways, I find the modern Buick interiors to be even better. GM just needs to learn that good interior design, good feature content, and good interior materials ultimately helps the company even if it means a bit less profit per vehicle.

OSTKCabal It's like the GMC Acadia. Climb in one, and you'll wonder if it's even made by the same company! The difference between it and their trucks (even their Colorado twins) is night & day in terms of fit, finish, and overall attention to detail.. 🤣

I remember in the video that TFL did at the auto show when they revealed the new Ram and the new Silverado and when talking about the interiors ram was showing their real wood and real metal finishes and the gm people were bragging up the colour they chose for their fake plastic wood trims and lack of panaramic sunroof, talk about being behind the times and cheaping out, they make so much money off a new pick up that there in no excuse to cheap out

Jeremy Ellison Dodge/RAM went through their 'Made in the Tupperware Factory' interior/design phase. They had to learn the hard way that you don't want to let the bean-counters control how your interiors end up looking.. 🤣 Hopefully the folks working on GM's truck get the same message..

you're right, the mid 2000's was for sure a rough time for chrysler cars after daimler was done with their rape and pillage of the company but ford and gm were no exception in those years, the "big 3" all seemed to have bean counters running the show then, anybody remember the decision by gm to save .75 on ingnition cylinders causing the biggest recall in automotive history

I do!!!.

SDav21 why do they even need to sweep? My 2001 silvy doesn't need to

Mike Braz It looks cool I guess but only if done properly like on a C Class for example. Apparently it is done also because it is digital so it does that to calibrate everytime the car is switched on.
