Chevy gave me a FREE truck! But then took it away.. 😞

‪@Chevrolet‬ reached out and asked if I'd like to get the new Silverado 2500HD ZR2 for a week to try out, use like it's my own, and see how I like it. Although there were no posting requirements to the deal, obviously they would prefer if I did, and of course I'm going to take all the free content I can get!
We've been using this truck to do traffic control on some of the heavy duty recovery jobs with the ‪@zackliftinternational4841‬, used it for off roading in this video, used it for a small family trip and general daily driver, as well as towing my dump trailer around. I'm impressed so far, and it is no question the nicest truck I've ever driven.
You'll still see it in a few more videos that were filmed before it had to be returned, but if ‪@Chevrolet‬ would like to make this a little longer term loan... I could definitely put this thing to work and get some good use out of it!

The truck is truly difficult to appreciate from the videos but having been bailed out this weekend myself with it, I can attest that it's a real beast. However, the bigger machine is Casey. I was in a real pinch and up against it with time and despite calling AAA, asking locals if anyone would help me and calling on local professionals that didn't want to get out in the snow. Casey drove an hour one way and had my problem resolved in just a few minutes proving no job is too big or small for him to resolve. Thank you Casey for your time, knowledge and great attitude it getting things done with no excuses. You're simply the best!

@@canadianwithabeard Full size trucks are extremely heavy & long, not ideal for going off road. I also remember when most things off-road were trucks, but it was because most people only had one off-road capable vehicle....

As a retired GM tech I must say it's a beautiful truck, but for me to many options, on today's trucks where everything is managed by modules and ultimately the PCM a faulty dodad can leave you stranded, there's just something wrong about having to get your computer reflashed when you replace a seat cushion due to a failed heating element.

@paintlover70 4 ай бұрын

💯 agree. While all the bells and whistles are cool, they are just another component that has the potential to fail. Most people don't grasp that vehicles are dependent on computers now and once the computer becomes unhappy, the vehicle doesn't do what it's supposed to. What I don't like is that most home mechanics can't work in their own vehicle anymore, because of the computer.

ALL of the truck manufactures make city slicker trucks. They are thin skined and it is possible to dent them by just leaning on them. Then there are these Fords. You could dent the truck bed by dropping an empty water bottle in the back! The wheel wells on that truck do not give you many options for taller wider tires.

Just replaced all factory lug nuts on my Sierra. If you have the factory lug nuts that have the stainless steel covers on them, 3rd get rid of them. These little covers can strip leaving you stranded. Happened to a guy this weekend I recovered. We were able to get all but one lug nut off. Luckily, a neighbor close by had a grinder and I was able to cut that cover off. A 15 minute flat tire change in the middle of north bumscrew Egypt ended up being 2 hours.

Chevy just got the best video footage of real world use of their truck having fun and play that they could ever ask for! And they received three expert opinions trusted by many others.

I have the same truck in a LT version (not all the bells and whistles). Fuel economy is incredible. Just returned from upstate NY and averaged over 24MPG city, highway, and idling for over 6500 miles. At times on the highway I was getting over 29MPG. The fuel economy sweet spot looks to be around the 64-65 MPH FYI. I ran out of bladder long before fuel. Very nice and comfortable as well. And like this demo truck, very capable in the snow. Quite smooth on the roadway (but need some weight in the back to feel really smooth) and capable as I haul a 16K fifth wheel at times (but say good bye to the fuel economy 9-13MPG).

I bought a 2021 Denali 3500 long bed duramax in May 2021, it has nearly 85k miles on it now. I haven't done any offroading near what you did in this video but for what I have done very capable. I have 0 complaints, I have only had 1 component failure and that is the camera in mounted by the rearview mirror that does the lane departure, intellibeam headlights and a couple other things went out in about 60 days of ownership. The 2021 duramax is only 445 hp and 910 ft/lbs not thinking I'm missing much from the slightly higher L5P.

Wow that was some really incrediblely smart advertisement on GM's part. The truck seems like an absolute beast stock. Casey didn't mess around and definitely started to put it through it's paces. Well done!

I have owed two GM products since 2007. A 2007 2500HD like that but Z71 Diesel. Had one problem with it during my ownership. Next is a 2016 Colorado 2.8l diesel also Z71. Nothing but DPF and electrical issues before it’s seen 50k. In fact it’s sitting in my driveway right now with the check engine light on again for probably the 10th or 11th time. Waiting for an opening at the local dealer.
