The rear seat reminder is so if you have a kid in the back seat you don't forget them backthere

Diesel all before or shortly after 100,000 miles. = $10,400 when the fuel pump blows. $3,800 when the DEF needs replaced, $1,900 when the DEF fuel injector goes out, $1,748 in front in repair because the components can't handle the diesel weight, and .24 a gallon more than gas. But the pulling power is great. To each his own... decide if you can afford one and if you really NEED one.

Rear seat reminder gives u a message on the dic telling you to check in the rear seat for children. A great safety feature so that children aren’t forgotten and left in a hot or cold vehicle!

Your right, there is no comparison pulling with a diesel vs a gas. The problem is all the emission failures. It gets old when you need a truck on the road and its down due to an emission failure than you can't do anything about. They have ruined the diesels now. Its not a matter of IF you have a big problem, its a matter of WHEN.

One thing I like about your videos you Never repeat yourself... more than 8 or 10 times. Heard you 5 times the first time lol if you're towing heavy most of the time get a diesel if you're not get a gas. It ain't rocket science.

The horsepower on that engine is 401, not 410.

I love the look of the redesign, itll be interesting to see fuel economy numbers on these for sure

bro, this has helped me immensely, great page keep it up!!!!

Squat looks fine. Gas engines have a great weight and price advantage that works for many. When you experience a diesel injection pump failure (Ram, GM and Ford CP4 issues) or DEF system failure the gas engines are great options. Definitely making me think of getting a gas RAM and move away from my RAM 6.7 CTD. Good review sir!

I pulled 15k lbs 5th wheel with a 2016 F250 6.2 with a 4:30 gear ratio. It pulled it great and surprised many diesel owners.

Rear Seat Reminder enables a message on the cluster reminding you check your rear seat... great if you have kids or animals. It reminds you to check for them.

good video, thanks! I just bought a 2024 Silverado Custom (no big frills) but has the 6.6 w/Allison 10 speed. It tows our Cougar (~9.5 k pounds) with no problem. Haven't had a truck in a number of years, but this was our "we paid off the house" purchase, plus the 5th wheel. Love the truck, love the 5th wheel.

I love my 2020 hd z71 it rails, pulling dump trailers,toy haulers or even just rockin down the freeway . The truck just dominates. Just really proud to drive a bad ass ride 💥💥💥🙏🏼👍😎✌️😊

Your right a diesel engine is a better choice for pulling a trailer but a gas engine will be fine to if you're not not pulling a trailer every day

DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERS. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I REALIZE THIS IS AN OLDER VIDEO. JUST BOUGHT A 2500 HD W/ 6.6 GAS. LOVE IT SO FAR.

Would like to see a towing review with the new ram 2500/3500 6.4 with your 5th wheel

I’m trading my diesel for gas that’s why I’m watching the video, the EPA has ruined the diesels been in the shop 6 times in 5 years I’m tired of it .

Bro, payload man, you know I am all about payload. That was the main reason I got the Dually. At almost 6,000lbs payload capacity (5,760 to be exact), after I hook up, subtract fuel, me and the wife, and all that jazz, I still have a TON of free payload. Tow/Haul mode and engine brake on, my brakes don't even know what my foot feels like... Do I need it all? Probably not, but it sure is nice to know it's there if I need it, I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

This engine is absolutely fine,it did great. You are being overly critical, 11,000 dollar upgrade for a Duramax,and if you live in cold weather,the diesel is an assache between the long warm up times,and DEF freezing and the inevitable emissions issues,and being stuck on the side of the road ,the gas is a great engine,based on the LS/LT engines they are a lot more reliable than the Duramax or any diesel for that matter.You can work on the gas engine yourself spark plugs and wires are easy to replace every 100k, the diesel fuel filters,and fuel quality is a huge issue especially now with so many 2020 diesel trucks dropping like flies on the side elf the road from bad injection pumps .You are not racing with a 5th wheel trailer so why bother with full throttle acceleration? Of course the Duramax will pull better it’s got twice the torque . Remember this base 6.6 gas truck would outpull anything made 15 years ago.....

For sure if your towing heavy and or frequently get the diesel and chevy diesel is awesome.....but for those that tow lighter, lesser, or rarely and just maybe need payload the gas is fine......its common sense really..... Shouldn't even be a debate really.....different motors for different needs....

Hello again! Hey that rear seat thing is so you don’t forget junior is back there, so don’t forget him/her! Back up for trailer hookup is the single line, but the button over to the right gives you the grid lines. Now as far as power goes? That has engine has more hp and the same tq as diesels had 20+ years ago. But today’s diesel has TWICE the tq and more hp! If I were to tow over 10k lbs? All the time or at least every month? I’d by a Chevy 3500 Custom 4x4 diesel, instead of a LTZ gas, or 2500! But in either I would add Bilstien Struts and Shocks, with rear air bags!

You feel the torque build with the diesel and makes it feel significantly faster than it’s really going. The gas torque curve doesn’t build as much so you don’t get the feeling . Time them and the gas won’t be as far behind the diesel as you think .Your Ram took 8.9 seconds 0-40 this took 10.5 seconds

The only downfall of the gasser is no 10 speed option. I understand why it's not standard but it should be available as an option. Most gassers for non fleet would have it.

No Replacement for Displacement (: 7.3 with a 10 Speed and 430 Gears >>>>>Pulling SOB (: and If I was worried about MPG >>> I would buy a Prius !!!

Rear seat reminder, alerts you to check for children in the back seat when you end your trip. If for any reason you open your back door at the beginning of your trip to load kids or gear, you will get the reminder at the end of your trip. Now if the rear door is not opened at the beginning, then no reminder at the end.

Rear seat reminder is literally that. Prompts you to check the rear seat so you don’t forget your kids or pets. If you have it activated, when you open and close a rear door before you drive it will assume someone or something is in the back seat then, when you park it will prompt you to check the back seat.

Yo JB, I was going to get 1 ton RAM 3500 gas, but guess what? I just traded in my 2017 Silverado 1500 LT Z71 for a 2020 Silverado 2500HD LT. Yes, I was going to get a one-ton but the deal on this 2500HD was too good. The dealer was trying to unload this truck, so I could not pass up the deal. It is an LT with a lot of packages, not the higher trim like the LTZ, but it has a lot of options that are similarly equipped like an LTZ. I like your videos; they are very informative. I like the fact that your videos do not have obnoxious background music, AND most importantly, no kids to interrupt your reviews.

So 464 lb/ft of torque on this 6.6 L and the 3.5 L Ecoboost is 470?😳 I know the Ecoboost isn’t a 3/4 ton but damn. I’m thinking that heavy duty trucks should start moving to forced induction. I know there a give and take to have forced induction, but I think if these companies get started now, they can work all the kinks out of the FI systems just like variable valve timing. Also, with forced induction you can move your torque band to a lower RPM and flatter curve. Just saying, great video though, thank you for the information.

The new gasser looks cool if you need a straight up work truck that'll be towing mostly goosenecks, GM needed to upgrade the engine, the 6.0 was tragically weak. The 6.6 NA will make a great engine in fleet trucks. Hauling toys though, I'd agree, get the diesel.

Here’s the question. If only towing a month or so out of the entire year, is it more beneficial to still have the diesel? If I’m making couple week long trips at a time, seems like the 2500 with a 6.6 is enough for what I need…

really appreciate your thorough honest reviews

I have the 2017 z71 LTZ. And it is a great truck but they could use more HP's. The black with custom wheels makes it faster lol I had the f250 and this dives much better and the f250 was not as stable at high speed but towed a little better. The chevy interior and drive are superior ford all day.

Someone is spoiled with their diesel, lol. Good video though. It looks like that truck did a stellar job towing your 5th wheel though. I remember my dad towing our TT many years ago with his f250 460CI, think it only had 260 horsepower. It did pretty good. Ah to harken back to the old days when diesel pick ups were not around. Only the enemic 70s Ram diesel.

Very good review with payload numbers at the end. 👍

The diesel with 10 speed and 3.42 is very quick. It gets off the line with all 910 FPT at 1st gear 1500 RPM. The setup for the newer diesel offerings is smokin hot for GM. I'm a big fan of the new updated version of the 6.0 gas with the longer stroke and better fuel management as well as the cooling improvements. It's not really cool to compare the two engines (diesel vs gas) at all really because they are apples and oranges. The gas engine gets its torque of 464 at 4000 RPM's, that's a world of difference but that's how gas engines work. This video doesn't really do justice to the technology being reviewed. It should be compared to another gas engine not a diesel engine. This 6.6 gasser will run at 5200 RPM's at load all day because that's the way it's designed. It has better cooling, better adaptive oil management and is engineered with heavy duty use in mind. It's also using an updated and improved version of an already proven 6 speed that is equipped with grade breaking. Can you use it to pull that load of yours through mountains and up grade? Hell yes. If You were doing it for a living every day of the week would you buy the gasser over diesel if money wasn't an issue probably not. Would you do those same grades at 70 plus MPH? No. Could you push it as hard as you wanted? My guess is you could. All in all I think GM hit the sweet spot with this one. Put it in a 3500 so there's less squat and more money in your pocket because the dealer pays no advertising on those. Spend the savings on some great extras then slow down a bit and enjoy the ride. Thanks for the vid and don't worry I haven't forgot, your making them and I'm not. Thanks again.

Nice review on the new Silverado! Surprising amount of tow capacity for a gasser! It dropped a bit w/the 5'er on but seemed very much in the safe zone. Agree with your towing comment "don't tow in the mountains w/a gasser". It will get you there but you will not be happy w/the lack of power and all the pissed off drivers behind you! If it were a 28' 5'er under 10K pounds, it would probably tow just fine anyplace.

Still love my turbo 5.3 10psi on pump gas just shy of 700ft pounds

The horse power isn't either one, 410 or 401, nor is the torque 460. That's GM's rating. That's rated using E-85 fuel. They claim the 5.3 is 355hp but it isn't. My truck is the rally with the 5.3, with electric fan, a 3 inch duel exhaust from the cat back, resonator delete, afe momentum cold air intake, under drive pulleys and a custom tune including the transmission and on the dyno i had available with 103 sunoco fuel, it only produced 336hp. That's decent, but the 04 could produce the same thing. The difference is WHERE abd how it's generating its power. The variable valve timing really makes a considerable difference in where it starts producing that power in the RPM's and how long it produces it before falling off. The biggest turn off of the half ton trucks, is the transmission and factory trans tune. They're both garbage.

The way engines are designed now days they don't need to be broken in or there is no brake in period. Also there are many trucks sold that start and end there life towing.

These trucks are more than capable! Does no one remember what trucks used to be and what they did?… lol!

Rear seat reminder is if you put something in the back seat and say you get home and you turn your vehicle off you get a chime with a reminder in the instrument cluster to get issues out of the rear seat area. Thanks for sharing JB. Great information. Thanks again for your videos.

Yes your on point. #14000 is heavy no if ands or buts your truck is going to work. I know RV’s have gotten fat exceeding #14000 you need a diesel. If your just pulling under 10K your good with gas, my opinion. Good review I like these new GM trucks. Another thing to consider, when Ford introduced the Power Stroke 7.3 in 1995 that changed the game, yes there were a few early 12valve Dodge Cummins around, but even then being able to tow 13, 14K was a big deal my 97 4x2 extended cab 7.3 maxed at 13K so compare that to today just food for thought.

Good video and you definitely aren’t afraid to put your foot down. Of course the any of the diesels from the big three are going to tow better. That’s kinda stating the obvious. I think for most weekend warriors you showed that the gasser has the ability to tow your trailer or equivalent around just fine. I do believe you referenced each individual situation is different and I agree. That’s what makes the gas diesel decision even harder especially when you have the power that the latest gassers put out

This truck is great for weekend warriors who wants more payload then a 1/2 ton does. Not every one is hauling heavy shit everyday.

Rear seat reminder is so you don’t leave anything “ a kid” in the car by mistake.

Rear seat reminder is to remind you to check the back seat for kids when you turn off your vehicle.

Love the video. Thanks for sharing!

a lot of us are looking for a gas engine for construction work that can handle towing. I had a fuel injection pump go out in my 15' diesel with 62,000 miles and it costed 6,000.00 to fix. Had extended 100,000 warranty. The diesels are starting to cost big money for the simple work truck. We need a gas alternative.

4:10 gears help. I went from 3:73 to 4:10 on same truck. I dont mind losing 1mpg to better towing ang quicker acceleration.

How is it shockingly heavy its freaking massive

I perfer the gassers - saves money

Excellent review. Good details.

Diesel is great for everyday towing or mountain use. I have a 2018 hd LTZ 2500 with the duramax. But living in DC area, stop and go bs in tysons corner. If I had to di it all over again I'd get the gas, cheaper 10k off the bat cheaper maintenance. But the 6.6 diesel is beast and will roll anything. But my gearhead and lust for power over ruled my common senses. Lol

for 90 % of people a gas truck is fine but 10k more in price and all the extra maintinice and issues with the emissions isnt worth it to me

Hey JB, where are your instruments a tape measure, maybe a G-Force, even a stop watch, to aide in real numbers. Just sayin'.... That would be helpful.

I didn’t know about the longer bed. I know Cougars are designed to avoid the cab collision. I wonder if you had a fifth wheel it would have been the same as your goose box?

Gas motors do fine towing steep grades. Just have to let the motor wind up! I tow in the Rockies with a gas - Suburban 2500 with 8.1 gas.

Excellent review- thanks

Good information it gives me food for thought. Have a good day and be safe out there.

I switched to diesel in 2016 and I'll never go back to gas.

Good video. Does it come with a 4:10 rear end? That should help with off the line torque. Those big gassers are stout work horses.

Good looking 5th wheel 👍🏽

Wonder what a supercharger on the 6.6 would make ? (hp/tq) Might be a good option for those that have a hard time getting diesel. And don't want the $10k extra diesel option. Saving apx. $3k

Needs 10 speed. Hopefully GM does that fairly soon. Can’t wait to see the Ford 7.3L and 10 speed in action. Bet it’s better than this by a good bit.

62k wowwww i just got the 2019 3500hd Ltz dually for 56k new was 71k with all the Discounts to make room for the 2020 and they 62k for that truck just the look of the 2020 should be a 20k discount im sorry im not feel the new look 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Let us all hope we don’t buy a truck after he has driven it. Not supposed to tow until after the break in period…. Approx 500 miles.

Thanks for sharing those stickers. Advertisements can be deceiving.

I'm thinking the rear seat alert, is for a child left behind reminder.

Little late to party. I have a 2019 Sierra 2500 6.0L with 4.10's. My Cougar is a bit lighter with a 1600# pin and she's a great match, even with a 9500# GVWR . Curious how tight I can get with Andersen - though I've considered a Goosebox. Man - 90-degrees with the new trucks is awesome. Great video.

I'm seeing the light Bro. Good review

I pulled a 36ft 5thwheel with my 5.3 Z71

JB, could you tell me which 3/4 ton gasser would be the best for occasion towing of a camper 8500lbs or below? Not really wanting a diesel due to not towing enough. I would just go with a 1/2 ton, but I want to enjoy the ride with the family while towing a camper.

Did you look to see what MPG you were getting pulling the camper?

To bad it doesn’t come in a single cab 2 wheel drive! With high ( 308? ) rear axles with limited slip . That sucker would get over 20 mpg way over. Drop the 4 wheel and the double cab ad a 8’ box . Is a manual transmission to much to ask Gm? How about a 5 speed with compound low and a

Good stuff. Thank you

That ugly Chevy is growing on me. Like the larger cabin, new 6'9" bed and the offset pin. Every little bit helps with a 5th wheel.

Its hard comparing a diesel and power to a gas burner. There really isnt any comparison... And its all about the money really and your needs. Gas burner 3/4ton truck generally will tow what ever you want. Same as a diesel. Its up to the owner/buyer on really what he is gonna use it for.. towing everyday, Heavy equipment etc, diesel. Towing once a month or just interstate pulling, Gas. But you cant compare the 2.... I have a 6.4 Hemi and i tow a 37foot bumper pull camper at 7800lbs all over bc of working on the road. All interstate etc... Good vids tho...

That rear end did better than I thought it was going to.... what’s the pin weight on your rig?

There are so many diesel diehards that say not to get the gas and so many former diesel guys that say never to get a diesel that has def. I have to say if I could get a diesel without the emissions crap I would pay the $10k happily but since this isnt an option I will stay with the gas.

I always laugh when people say do I need a diesel to tow hmm my obs 7.3 was rated at 215hp and 450 tq oh better yet several second gen Cummins with power ratings of that as well so yes this gas with 410/460 will tow easily Erka durka

Try the 8.1 liter monster with the Allison transmission

But do I NEED a diesel to be safe? Can the 2022 2500 Silverado gasser tow a 40 ft 5th wheel that is about 14 ,500 loaded? The specs say it can tow just around 16,800lb and payload of 3,700 I think. Pin weight on my trailer would be around 2,200. I'm fine going slower...just want to be safe.

Your specs are incorrect. The 6.6L produces 401 horsepower not 410, and 434 Pounds Torque.

Its stupid how the 6.2 has 420hp and the 6.6 has less power and less torque. That truck is nothing but a gas hogger. Chevy should've put a turbo on it to help with economy. Good video

Like the mirrors for towing does the gas motor have mds like the 6.4 hemi

not sure your seat belt is going to do you any good the way you have it on?

Nice truck and nice review. But at that price range (IMHO) it's well into the diesel price zone. Good comparison, Go Diesel

When are they going to make supercharger for this motor ?

Do a 0-60 with that truck and yours. Loaded and towing same trailer. I bet you’ll be surprised. The gasser I had was quicker at everything than my diesel

Sooo, maxing out the truck get the $10k D-max option. Do you think the gas would be ok for pulling a 10k lb dump trailer and tools in the bed (1000lb)?

What the hell is the knocking sound I keep hearing

Do you get the back up lines when you put the tail gate down?

It’s a nice truck. But I wish they had paired the new 10 speed trani or even an 8. I’ve seen several reviews of the new 6.6 gas and the mpg I’ve seen so far is not pretty

YOU do realize that , for every 1,000 feet you go above sea level , the engine will LOSE ~3.5% of it's rated Torque and Horsepower ! That's a 35% LOSS of Torque and HP at 10,000 feet elevation ! A diesel engine with a Turbo charger doesn't lose anywhere near that much !

Rear sear reminder tells the driver that they have a child in the vehicle! For me, I just think a person shouldn't be a parent if you can't remember that you brought their kid with them

Nice truck.

Wait did you just say that a 2500 squatted more than a 3500?

Rear seat reminder sets off a chime and text in DIC to check rear seat for valuables/etc b4 you exit vehicle. Just kind of an alert in case you forget something back there (maybe your kids, 😆) JK

I’m thinking one of these manufacturers is going to put a turbo in these big Motor heavy duty’s. I’m just saying marry the Allison to this turbo charged 6.6 Now you have something!

I’m not sure if I missed it, but what was the tongue weight for that camper? Thank you very much and stay safe.
