Ryan goes on an easy adventure in the 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD truck with the Z71 off-road package.
*This review was filmed prior to the addition of The Ladder off-road test at our Mountain Playground. Our inability to find a “challenging” test for this large vehicle in part led to the new course design.

Your reviews are great! Thanks for doing what you do!

Considering 2024 is a refreshed model the 2500 should really come standard with LED headlights.

@Tool0GT92 10 ай бұрын

LTZ and High Country get LED. You can get LEDs on the LT with the midnight package but it rarely available to order. I do agree it should be on all of them.

@themagician7734 10 ай бұрын

You can get adaptive cruise and all the safety features on $20k cars (e.g. Kia Forte). But, on higher cost vehicles they will cost an additional $5k on higher cost vehicles. It makes no sense at all.

Definitely a mountain goat. I love the styling of the truck, but that hood is huge. No way without a front camera. I have no need for a truck like this , but I want one. I would go with the single cab and long bed and put a 4wheel camper in the bed. I would love to see you test it out at your course. Great review as always.

So when do truck manufacturers start angling the hood UPWARD away from the road so that they can fit an even larger front end. Visibility obviously isn't the greatest concern. There's a chart somewhere that shows that the average tractor-trailer hauler has better visibility than these new pickups.

Will be a rough ride offroad....if you stick 500lbs in back it will smooth out like 1500 ( take your buddys and gear and it wont be near as stiff)....Z71 is mnt really an offroad feature aside from hill descent....shocks are horrible and tires a hair more aggressive....flimsy skid plates...its a marketing ploy On 1500s you get true 4 lo but on HD they all come with it Auto 4wd is nice and it's $200 option What does make difference is digital variable assist steering on LTZ and H.C....noticed it right away on H.C. vs LT I had...... But yeah it should have a few features fir the money (LED headlights for one) Still a great truck, love mine Pretty sure in the states you can get adaptive cruise with conv pkg 2 on LT

You can get adaptive cruise on the LT, they wouldn't let me order it though because it was on constraint. I optioned my LT with leather and got the full center console so I could get wireless charging. Also went up to a 3500 price difference was only $800!

@bruceblackerby3742 10 ай бұрын

Agreed. Price difference between 2500 and 3500 is minimal. Why you would opt for the 2500 makes little sense. And the GMC versions now have LED headlights.

@BillyBobTup 10 ай бұрын

Good review! I agree that it is bogus that a vehicle of this price does not even have adaptive cruise control. But, the truck seems very capable off road, compared to the smaller vehicles we usually see tested. Lots of clearance and good angles. But I'm confused: on that very last test, was the rear locker engaged, or not? Did you try it 1st without the locker? Or, does this have the G80 auto locker? I bet that is it, I missed it if that was mentioned.

The visibility in bad weather and in traffic blows away any car. When on a road trip with family, everyone gets a great view of the outside. My parents bought vacation VW bugs for our “save $$” drives to school or runs to the grocery store (74 miles away) and they certainly had a purpose.

Where are you guys getting these price numbers? It’s 74k and not almost 100k. I agree it’s still outrageous but you guys are adding 25k and another commenter 50k to the MSRP which is mentioned in the first minute of the video.

@is6566 10 ай бұрын

Also if you are getting this same truck with the V8 gas engine not the Duramax diesel that’s automatically 10k less. In a lower trim without cameras and fancy tailgate and white color it’s also at least another 5k less. So you can get this truck in gas V8, white no options for probably 60k or less. Still a lot but a higher end midsize truck cost that much or more with a turbo V4. So compared to that it’s almost reasonable price.
