We spill the secrets of the remanufature process and it's AMAZING!! Touring through the GMSV standalone remanufacture facility where the Silverado’s are changed over to right hand drive isn’t something many people get to do - and we did it 😍 Not just so we could see the process up close, but so we could share it with you 🙌🏼 Our minds were blown with how complex the process actually is - you really have to see it to believe it 🤯 Driving these Silverado’s every day, you would never know how much hard work has gone into making it possible. There is so much behind what you see that makes these vehicles not only look great and drive beautifully but ensures they are as safe as ever. After seeing what goes into the process we understand why it’s called a remanufacture and not a conversion. All we can say is WOW! 😍
Check out the GMSV range here: www.gmspecialtyvehicles.com/
There is an editing error in this video where it is stated that the warranty is 100km - it's actually 100,000.

For those of us in North America (US/Canada anyway), the 2500HD short bed is the entry level into the HD pickup truck market. We have a long bed version available, plus the 3500HD in either single rear wheel (short and long bed) or dual rear wheel (long bed). The current tow king in the heavy duty pickup market is the Ford F450 that has one configuration rated to tow up to 40,000 lbs/18,150kg. The F350 tops out at 8,000lbs/3,630kg of payload.

Great insight into the reman process. It would be bloody interesting to work out what the actual vehicle costs without the affect of the dollar conversion factor from US to AUS and then the additional cost to convert from LHD to RHD. Awsum bit of gear though 👍

@AussieDestinationsUnknown Жыл бұрын

That would be fun - let us know when you figure it out 😁😁

@bradworthington8594 Жыл бұрын

@@AussieDestinationsUnknown Yes I see the affect of dollar conversion factor on a daily basis with our US manufactured Heavy Trucks. It’s a shame really because these vehicles are what people should be using to tow, the dollar conversion rate and then the reman expense would be the biggest contributing factors that put buying one of these out of reach of most Aussies that are already stretching the budget to the extreme to purchase Cruisers or Patrol…..A Duramax 6.6 running a 10 speed Allison bloody unbeatable 🤙

@AussieDestinationsUnknown Жыл бұрын

Sure is! But, money-wise it wasn’t much more expensive for us to get our first Chevy than to chop a 200 which is what we almost did … it costs a fortune to do that as well 🤪

And then it is still a Cruiser, And don't for get the Engine tune, Intercooler, tranny cooler, auto lockup kit, all to try and get it to be a 1/4 the tug the 2500s are.
