Soooo... having ended on that comment, are you going to compare the Ram 2500 and the Silverado back to back? And not a token payload/towing but really max them out as much as your licence allows?

These things are meant to tow and travel unlike hilux and ranger where adults can’t even fit comfortably let alone towing with them small narrow short wheelbase Utes but still cost nearly 80k

This is big, it's really nice too. And what blows the competition away is that this comes in Diesel. For that segment there is no other diesel rival in its class. Unless an F250

Awesome vehicle I totally agree If u r towing 3 tonne, or more, regularly, or over long distances etc, this vehicle makes a lot of sense A lot of Utes / SUV offer 3.5 t towing, but, most of them, aren’t sturdy enough to manage it well… These vehicles at GVM / GCM are at their limits, and most of them struggle in many ways, when u r towing, and over 5.5 t all up. And, unlike those vehicles, with this Chev, u don’t need to spend a lot of $$$ on GVM / GCM upgrades etc

Would be nice if it came from the factory in RH drive instead of paying a premium here to convert it. We here in Australia always get ripped on prices. Payload is rubbish unless you upgrade it to truck rego.

The access to the storage space behind the rear seat is strange. It's much easier to access the space with a rear seat back that drops down. As far as transmissions go, the GM 10L1000 and the Ford 10R140 are very similar internally. Class 2B (250/2500) trucks are usually rated for more than 4.5t, but are down rated for Australian license classes. I routinely towed 14,000 lbs/6.35t (30' enclosed car hauler) over 12 years with my 2011 Ram 2500 diesel. Unfortunately the Ram lacked capabilities for my needs (plus rust) and I am in the process of moving to a Ford DRW pickup.

The GM 10L1000 and the Ford 10R140 are not similar; you can tell by their reliability. The 10R140 has been a problem child from day one, causing brand new trucks to need new transmissions. The GM 10L1000 has been much better in this regard. This is not to say they don't fail; with every car, engine, and transmission, you will always have lemons, even with the most reliable ones.

@@michaeljordan4571 They are very similar inside (variants of a common ancestor). Manufacturing caused many of the issues with the early 10R140s. The 10R140s are also handling more torque than the 10L1000s.

@@rich7447 GM and Ford both partnered up to create a 10-speed transmission for their light-duty trucks. When Ford introduced their new line of Super Duty trucks, they took that 10-speed transmission and made everything bigger and stronger. GM also made a 10-speed heavy-duty transmission, which probably shares a lot in common with their light-duty version. However, and here's the important part, GM went to Allison (a company GM used to own) and had them make changes and test the transmission to ensure it was reliable. Allison, a company known for reliable transmissions, wouldn't put their name on something that would destroy their reputation. The 10R140 is not a bad transmission because of a batch of defective components; it is a bad transmission because Ford overlooked flaws in its design, flaws that have not been addressed to this day
