After watching all of your towing and electric vehicle videos, it has never been more evident that diesels aren't going anywhere. Love the content.

everyone keeps complaining about the touch screens being to small, um are we watching tv or are we driving a vehicle down the road?

2500/3500 "heavy duty" are technically light duty trucks still. 4500-6500 are medium duty. And class 8 trucks like semi's, are heavy duty

I like the cheaper feeling materials inside as long as they are durable, much easier to take care of and clean.

Always fun to watch 2 kids in the candy store.

8’ bed is so nice. I have that on my 2500 HD. Whether it’s 16 bales of hay or an 8 foot long Surfboard I love the versatility.

I'm building an earth roamer style camper on a 2021 4500 4x4 and so far it's really working well!!

I think it's worth mentioning that this price on the medium duty and heavy duty trucks is the chassis cab only. Doesn't include the outfit that's displayed on the trucks, the dealer buys the truck stripped down and a third party takes it and turns it into a tool truck, dump truck, RV, cherry picker or whatever the client needs and that price is going to be significantly more then the 65 to 71k they show there. A little bit misleading if you ask me.

It's amazing how Ram truck interiors look so much nicer than any other truck on the market. I am not a fan of fiat trucks but everyone should take notes on how to do interiors from Ram. Especially for $75,000

lol Diesel isnt going away for a long while. no worries about back in the day.

Be interesting to see if the GM medium trucks survive their International Joint Venture . Since Navistar International Is now Part of the Traton Group ( Volkswagen Heavy Trucks).. But good deal for international to have access to GM 6.6 diesel and Gas engines for their offerings in their own truck lineup

Between the hideous front end and the Fisher Price interior, I don’t understand how Chevrolet sells any HD trucks. I guess people really love their Duramaxes.

There’s a reason Ford dominates this market.

Breaks my heart to hear 8ft beds treated like an anomaly.

I own a repo company I would never stop using the 6.7 cummins in my towtrucks. I have over 2 million combined miles on that platform. And never ever had a engine problem. That says alot. And I change the oil on them every 15000 miles. Running strong

the Duramax is not a hot V. The exhaust manifolds are on the outside. Ford switched around their plumbing and put the intake on the outside of the V and all exhaust in the valley.

Excellent work Andre and Roman. You're the best team including to Nathan and Mr. Truck. Regards from CDMX!

Andre is pretty sharp with the Medium Duty Trucks. The window stickers are for the chassis only. The body is priced separate as GM does not manufacturer those. I used to sell GM Medium Duties. The dump is from Monroe. Good truck equipment mfg. The service body is from Knapehied. Great bodies sold about 2 dozen of those.

That looks like the same red dump truck they had at the DC auto show, I was really impressed with it.

Did 6600 miles in a 21’ 6500. Biggest disappointment I’ve ever had in my life. Rides awful, I mean AWFUL. Turning radius of a greyhound bus, but worse. Zero ground clearance. Fuel tank is tiny. It’s a gutless wonder, hard to pass from 45-60 without standing on the skinny pedal. Emission systems issues, repeatedly. I can’t even find anything good to say about it. It has sat since October without being driven.

Chevy needs to make more red trucks...so shiny!!

Yes GM is the best ......💯💯💯

Had to watch this one, struck a nerve lol. I run a 2019 Chevy 5500 as a John Deere Field Service Tech ( 50k miles a year ). Unfortunately my company switched from F550's to the Chevy ( actually a International technically ). The Chevy ( at least in our application, 18k lbs curb weight ) does NOTHING more than the F550's did ( matter of fact I'm running the service bed / crane from my old F550 ), but the Chevy rides literally worse than a Sherman tank, and has a huge profile for no reason. I would contribute out of my own paycheck for my company to go back to F550's.

The window sticker doesn’t include the body price. As far as the payload, Chevy builds it as an incomplete vehicle. The upfitter puts the final certification label on which should have the payload listed. I’m not sure the engines are rated differently exactly. They are built more for longevity and durability over max power.

That's the sticker price for the chassis, not the entire truck. It'd easily be $15k more after being up fitted.

Did that red dump truck have the older interior? The dash and seats looks like it came out of the previous generation Silverado 14-18.

Looks nice but the average consumer can't afford one nor afford to fix it.

You'd LOVE our 6x6 version of this TRUCK!

Love it, you said a walk around a Ford truck in front of a Chevy rep. Hahahahaha

My Cummins has always been gear driven don’t act so proud it’s the only way it should be made…

Gee, I clicked on this video expecting to see the refreshed HD trucks with the redesigned interior.

Thanks for all the videos from Chicago Auto Show!

I drove toyota trucks for years, 4 cyl economical vehicles, after my divorce i bought my first chevy silverado, at 71k miles transmission blew up, i fixed it and kept driving it till the transmission went out again I now have a new ford f250 4x4 Its by far the best truck ive ever owned, ford builds a real truck, i

My fire EMS station our newest medic unit is a 550 Chevy four-wheel drive tilt front end. Took us a while to get it due to the GM strike and covid bs but so far our EMTs and medics like it.

Cmon GM. Yes this engine is capable but we need 1000+ LB of TQ already. And I’m sorry but the interior is such an afterthought.

The medium duties still use the LML I THINK. Not the newer L5P. And still use the older true Allison 6 speed. They use the last generation Silverado interior used from 2014 (starting with 1500s) - 2019 (ending with the heavy duties). I believe the headlights are from the 2014 - 2015 Silverado 1500s. It was a partnered build with international. Full C channel straight chassis borrowed from international then GM supplied the drivetrain (except axles) and body. 4wd models use a solid front axle. They CAN NOT LEGALLY TOW as much as a 1 ton dually. But they can HAUL a TON more. These trucks aren’t meant for gooseneck trailers. They are meant for heavy upfits like dumpbeds and utility beds. Believe me I would feel much more comfortable pulling 36000 pounds behind this than a 1 ton Chevy. It would handle it a lot better realistically considering it’s own curb weight and powerful brakes. But legally, it comes nowhere near the towing capacity of the 1 tons. Kinda dumb but it’s just the way that it is

When did they switch to the exhaust coming out the top like the powerstroke

I love the dump truck.

I didn’t get to go to the Chicago Auto Show last year not this year, thanks for the videos.

Why can't GM mount the DEF tank on the proper side. All your bulk DEF pumps are on the left.

Still no info on the updated 2023 Duramax? Very curious if the power increase numbers will happen for 2023 HDs

Looks like a fun spot to hang out!! I love my 2500!

HELL YEAH CHEVYS ARE THE BEST

Hot V doesn't mean the turbo is sitting in the middle. It means the exhaust manifolds are in the valley..... Most engines run the manifolds on outside and use uppipes to a collector for a turbo.

Love these trucks I have owned three now. Just getting too hard to justify paying over $100K in Canada.

Completely uninformed and unprepared to offer any real insight into the Gm medium duty trucks.. TFL comes off as clueless everytime.. For anyone considering a Chevy or Sister International.. DONT! They ride like absolute shit, have a horrific turning radius and a GVWR of only 23,500.. The inboard fuel tanks creat a huge problem as upfitters do a shitty job of finishing the fuel fill points so that they fill properly...Med duty trucks should have saddle tanks and GVWR"s of 26k.. The standard cab is cramped to say the least.. When you run the seat back the back is forced against the cab forcing the seatback to lean straight up.. Not very comfortable... And while we're on the seats.. Most real med duty trucks have air ride seats! Given that these trucks ride so terribly, Chevy should have come up with a better solution.. The 4 wheel drive system in these trucks is a joke! Don't ever plan on using it off the pavement! The transfer case is mounted ridiculously low! Also, no shift on the fly in high range.. You can't only shift to 4 wheel drive at under 10mph and likewise to shift back.. LAME! I have heard complaints about them being slow.. I think most of those complaints come from people who got a truck with tall rear end gears.. I drive a 20 C6500 4x4 everyday.. 4wheel drive trucks come with a 4:30 to one rear gear.. At 350hp and 700ft lbs I'd say that the drivetrain is the only part GM got right.. The Trans works good with the power it receives.. Using tow mode with the exhaust brake when loaded works well.. Braking is also solid for a juice brake system.. All in all, I wouldn't buy one... The previous generation of GM med duty trucks were better at being trucks, they just lacked the power of the new ones.. I honestly don't understand how GM got this soooo wrong.. NOT Impressed..

That red truck is simply beautiful... this video is a good lesson for Ford and GM owners. Notice GM keeps the 6 speed transmission in the commercial trucks because they simply last longer and take more abuse. And some people complain on why Ram has been sticking with the 6 speed Aisin transmission. More evidence on why Ram 3500 HO is built better and tougher.. ram keeps a commercial grade 6 speed transmission in the residential heavy duty trucks.. however as I mentioned that red dump is a work of are for a person getting into the dirt business.

Government motors junk! Every time I have owned a general motors product, I have been beyond disappointed with their reliability. My current work truck, 2010 f150, 200,000 miles, zero breakdowns and most of these miles were pulling a dual axle landscaping trailer.

Disappointed that GM are still not showing the refresh for the HDs…. Great video as always guys.

If only we could get those in right hand drive for our (New Zealand) market. I wouldn't mind the 6500hd in double cab, 4 wheel drive with the dump tray on it. That would be work vehicle, my wife would have the suburban high country 4 wheel drive as the family vehicle. Since we dont get chev in New Zealand any more, we have to put up with asian tin cans on wheels.

I’m surprised gm is not offering more loaded up medium duty trucks for heavy truck campers. I was just at a truck camper rally and there were so many ram 5500 limited and f450s platinum trucks with flatbed conversions to haul the large and heavy Host Truck campers. Seems to be a decent market for these trucks. Especially higher end models. Denali 5500!

Truck wars is always a crazy game.

Friend of mine bought the new Chevy 6000 back in March 2021, has had nothing but problems with it.

I wish you would look at the new Colorado

My eyes started bleeding when u guys showed the interior of the z71

There aren’t enough arguments on the internet about which pickup has the better diesel engine. Toyota needs to add fuel to the fire by dropping a Hino engine into a Tundra.

You guys need to fix the audio. I can barely here you guys talking.

The medium duty uses the previous generation cab, exterior and interior, which is probably better for a fleet work truck.

I wonder if GM has ever think about the Chevy 3500 putting a Caddy deign on it 2023 Cadillac 3500 DWR with full Cadillac luxury in it

That looks like it will be a pain in the ass to work on

Jeez- I just sat in one - the interiors are fine!

What do you mean these trucks are (engine dyno) rated differently?

My lmm duramax has the turbo in the center too, I believe all 6.6 duramax do

I want a double cab,8' bed 2500

You better get a milk box to sit on for that red Chevy dump truck you’ll never see over the hood

That last truck is probably creeping up on $100k or more. I've seen lesser trucks going for 90k

Medium duty, class 5-6 has probably the lowest take rate for deluxe trim of any truck category because they're almost all fleet rigs. Even someone buying for themselves, it's not going to be an only vehicle like pickups usually are or a second home like the Class 8 longhaul semis; and small businesses are usually at the point of having at least a couple employees before they even consider buying one new.

Love you guys but one detail you missed. This interior is actually the last generation Silverado/Sierra interior. Similar to your Trailboss because the next gen GM trucks were that close in design, but slightly different. But this folks, is carryover from the previous generation that ended in 2018 with the 1500s and HDs. It’s still fine, spend enough time in an International Durastar and the GM interior is way better. Speaking of International…. Lol

question can the 7500 get 4x4 with a tandem axle locking difference ?

HDuty is very mis-leading because the medium duty truck starts at 1.5 ton trucks . I wish they would bring back the viking name for medium duty trucks.

Cool . Hot V seems a new trend in diesel engines design. Toyota 3.3 diesel engine in the new Land Cruiser is also a hot V.

I'm no expert but a hot ass turbo in between the two headgaskets iono

best part about gm's diesels are sitting in the shop for 4 weeks waiting for def parts....

Why dial down engine on a dump truck loaded with rock or soil? Or pushing a snow plow off a county road near the farm?

Betting that black high country is over a hundred grand

If I wanted to get one of these imported in to Australia, I wouldn’t get much change out of $220,000, with the r/hand change over.

It would be nice if they were designed for clearance instead of being so thick.

The International truck is the same as the chevy 6500

Diesel fuel is like 5 bucks a gallon. Beautiful trucks and awesome engineering but you got to be fuck8ng kidding me..

A Hot -V design that engine is not, the exhaust manifolds are still on the outside of the cylinder head like every other engine. A true hot V has the exhaust exiting on the inside of the cylinder head like fords 6.7l. The benefit of a Hot V is the shorter pathway to the turbo for quicker response and less heat loss on its way there. Also diesel engines are almost always gear driven from the crank to cam and have been for years.

Watch out i bought a new 6500 hd before making first payment broke down and has been at chevy dealer for a month cant get parts for it chevy wont call me back and dealer says no updates on parts

GM DESIGNERS DRUNK OR ON DRUGS THIS THING IS BUT FUGLY

I wish I had seen you there. I love your videos especially the Ike gauntlet videos.

I think truck prices are insane. Give me all the flack you want about " Oh you just can't afford, blah, blah, blah. " I don't understand why they can't just make basic trucks without all of the garbage. I don't need a backup camera that tells me which way the trailer is going to go. I am fine with vinyl flooring, manual trans, hand crank windows, etc. You get the idea. If you live in your truck on the road, I get it for you. But the rest of us, ( and I'm sure there are more of us) just need to live our daily lives. I use my truck as God intended it to be used. It's not a fashion statement or a sign of how much money I do or don't have.

There has never been a truck made that I would pay $75,000 for.

Can the 6500s be configured to tow?

Oil extraction is green compared to mining lithium. There's not enough to make a battery for everyone to have an electric vehicle. Don't worry, you won't be saying remember when we used diesels.

I am purchasing a new truck this summer. Looking at a diesel for towing long distance. I live in northern Canada where it gets to -51 degrees Celsius. I'm told the new diesel trucks won't work in cold weather. Any thoughts?

Would they make the interior the same as the light trucks on the 6500

That interior looks like it’s from 2005…

Nice trucks. Too bad they're all "in transit".

Biggest problem I have with the medium duty trucks is that the instrument cluster is aimed at my chest instead of my face. Makes it difficult to see the top of the speedometer.

Peterbilt and Kenworth are worlds above in medium duties compared to everyone else

That dually High Country I bet is over $100,000

The 4500-5500 4 wheel drive transfer case is stupid low to ground clearance and rough rides

So are the heads upside down like the fords

GM should give new trucks to poor people who want to work. Help build AMERICA.

Allow myself to introduce…….. myself. 😂

overheating on the way to the mountain spot has never been improved by emission quick cycle

So glad they are going big now, every truck is so miniscule these days lol
