At least you can get a single cab Silverado with a 5.3 and 8 foot bed! It’s still a lot of fun! I’m currently driving one.

Keep wishing pal. Go with me to the dark side and get that 5.0.

@@kellyfontes7757 as a all time Chevy guy probably an Ford F-150 single cab sleeper package would be the best bet

​@kellyfontes7757 i just went from a 18 rcsb 5.3 to a 2022 rcsb 5.0 😂 I'm a chevy guy but I'm not disappointed!

Nice! 🤩

Did you get the tow package? What is the payload capacity? Thank you, Jake

My pleasure! That’s awesome, if you were also there yesterday I think I might have actually seen you. I briefly stopped by to borrow a few Silverados for some snow/ice driving impression videos and on my way out I was told there was a gentleman there from WA looking at the regular cab I published last week! Either way, very cool and what an awesome truck! As I mentioned in this video, it was a really fun truck and I wanted a few extra minutes with it before I dropped it off from my initial goal of filming this other video with it. A guy had apparently just about bought it when I brought it back that day, but that deal obviously didn’t go through and for good reason. Enjoy your sweet new truck! 🙂

Thank you, I will enjoy it.. been wanting this exact truck for quite awhile.@@AutomotiveAnonymous208

That’s a beautiful color!

They’re pretty sweet!

That is going to be sweet!!

Yeah, these are cool trucks!

That’s awesome! Which one do you prefer to drive most often?

@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 I drive the 2022 GMC with the flipped rear shackle that levels the back to the front. I get in and out so often that I don't like to always jump up into lifted trucks unless I am using them for a off road purpose.

They’re neat trucks!

A lot of people seem to really like their 2.7! 🤩

A few other reviews mentioned the fuel economy of the 2.7 was not far off from the 5.3. You'd expect an engine almost half the size would have better economy, but the turbo tends to suck more fuel.

I have a silverado TB with the 5.3 and I average about 16. If I'm heavy with the cruise control I can get 18.

I don’t blame you, those 5.0 10 speed short bed trucks are no joke.

Nice! That’s gonna be a cool truck. 😎

I completely forgot that they offered a longer warranty on the 2.7! I’m glad you found that out and thanks for sharing that here.

In my opinion it doesn’t feel that much different than other Customs or LTs I’ve driven.

For sure! This was definitely a fun little truck. 🙂

No, to my understanding on the U.S Chevy website it’s only the 5.3 or a 2.7. They’re keeping the 3.0 and 6.2 limited to the more expensive configurations and trim levels. 😞

Towing capacity?

Regular cab, short box? Or just long? I think the shorty is 2.7 only.

That’s a good observation, I’m not familiar with this platform enough to personally know. Hopefully someone else can answer your question soon!

It's normal.

Same color same grille same cab same bed etc

That’s neat! How do you like it?

It's decent. Starter is sounding like it wants to give up only at 3k. Trans is clunky, not sure if I like the gm frame rust proofing, engine can sound strange at higher rpms with no turbo spool. It's just a strange pickup, but it's also surprising capable off road etc. Just needs upgrades

@@user-bt1mq1zw4ti think thats just GM and ford tbh. I have my single cab short bed f150 5.0 and has the 10 speed and it also sounds clunky

That would be cool!

Floor shifter as in manual transmission? Or are you talking transfer case? Manual is obviously a no-go but GM also did away with floor shift transfer cases all together starting in 2019 on the 1500s and 2020 on the HD.

@@killercan10 nothing as serious as that, I only want bucket seats and not having a column shifter. Hence a “floor” shifter. Perhaps console shifter would have been a better descriptive term.

@@SWFLSlimJim Ah I see. For whatever reason, GM only pairs a console shift lever with the 10 speed trucks, so LT trim and higher with buckets and console, double and crew cab. 10 speed is 5.3, 3.0 diesel and the 6.2, and the console shifter is shift by wire.

Lol, that’s a good point! I’m surprised that some of the dedicated truck channels don’t have a system to test that and share how well the truck dynamics look and feel once loaded. My focus is more geared towards performance and 0-60.

I don’t remember exactly what I said in this video, but if you drive say a sports focused car back to back with any modern truck, it’s astonishing how sloppy feeling and pronounced the body roll most trucks have haha. 🤪

Oh for sure! That sounds like an awesome truck! 😎 I’ve driven a couple full size Coyote trucks, and use to love watching videos of Whipple supercharged regular cabs.

I hear you. These are cool in that you can really hear the turbo in person lol.

If you're getting a truck primarily for how it sounds, you don't need a truck. You need validation.

Very true lol. But GMs probably tuned the sound to be noticeably to help convince potential buyers. Especially since less than half of trucks on the road are actually used for truck purposes these days. 🤷‍♂️😂

Thanks for the correction! 😜

It’s definitely not for everyone!

I have one. Its a great little engine.

?

Needs a small block v 8.

Comes w/ 5 year 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty. 430 ft lbs of torque from I4 turbomax compared to 383 from 5.3 V8. Same payload & towing, costs $6,000 less (buys 40,000 miles worth of 87 octane gasoline), better mpg. No brainer.

Lol, thanks! 😅 I put this video together over a month ago, it was a neat experience.
