It would be an Lt for me....right in the middle. As far as looks the custom/ Lt look better to me...i think most of us just want a regular style truck with a V8, no afm, no bs emissions crap...the only truck left after the Titan is gone is GMs L8T....thats all I'll buy, and will be my last truck
@@agger838 then how did Ford do it?! All new f150s have updated interiors. No one says put the top of the line interior in a base model! And for that matter, how did GM do it every time until this generation!
@@plmn93 that makes a lot of sense! Omg you don’t have 4 auto,then why did you buy it, were you forced to!!! There’s plenty of features Fords have that GM trucks don’t and vice verse. You claim Ford is doing cost cutting by doing that, but GM isn’t cost cutting by not giving the first three trims an updated interior! Makes a lot of sense! And Ford is doing that to get people to step up to the next trim, that’s a common practice among all companies. Apple makes the standard storage low to get you to step up and spend more money for the next model. Do I like it, no but it’s a common practice.
It definitely depends on your need....I bought the 2024 Silverado custom 4x4 double cab ..and have towed my camper ( 5k lb) with it and haven't had any issues. I also drive it 6hrs on the highway and got 23.1 mpg...so I'm pleased
I'm in the UK. So don't know these trucks. But that's a big price difference. What can you get for 50k over there? The base model is ok. If you use it for work, that would do though.
It's hard to find any half-ton trucks for under $50k anymore, especially if they're 4x4 unless you want something that's purely a work truck spec. You'd be better off getting a midsize truck if $50k is your budget, but depends your needs I would say.
If you are diligent with watching for deals, interest specials and area good negotiator, you could get an LT for around fifty. Maybe a smidge over, but the LT is a decent trim. Some of the creature comforts without all the extras that Jack up the price. I got my LT Trail Boss Z71 with the Duramax for a hair over 60 with 1.9% interest. I shopped around a lot took my time and waited for the right deal.
Here in Sam Diego, California, the Chevy silverado custom is the most common full-size truck. Being a middle class, i know the reality and all specialty trucks are toys, PERIOD! and I cant risk playing with such an expensive toy nuat to get damaged or worst, be stranded on long trips. I rather get a base custom, (GMC elevation is a nice trim and in the low $40's). With a $30k difference, you could get a 20-foot trailer for less than $18k, some used quads, and jet skis and enjoy life. Here in San Diego, the customs are below $40k and LTs like $45k.
I like like the double cab Custom Chevy. I would like to put something like a lightweight 4 wheel camper on a truck l like this. It seemingly has a good payload that can handle it at 1900 lbs. I learned on Chevy trucks that they have another recommended payload that is in the glove box that is specifically for slide in campers. On a truck like this, it is only about 1000 lbs. which really isn't enough. You have to go with an HD or a regular cab model whose payload for slide in campers is much closer to the actual payload on the door jam. Would be interesting to hear from time to time what the slide in camper recommended payload is from time to time. Chevy doesn't seem to publish this anywhere it appears to be only in the glove box of 1500 trucks.
I have an elevation gmc but regret the 2.7 turbo bad not a fan 8 speed horrible shifts hard down shifts and misses up shifts cold. Want the 10 speed 3.0 duramax next lease
GM interiors still look like they have cheap Fisher Price plastic knobs..When u cringe knowing there’s a 6 in a full size truck Chevy says “hold my beer”…
The only thing that makes it better with the ZR two in my opinion is the 3 L Duramax I don’t know if that’s worth 30 grand but it’s a pretty good engine
I got the LT Trail Boss Z71 with the new Duramax LZ0 for a hair over 60 with 1.9% interest. The main difference between mine and the zr2 is the suspension, lockers and aev package. Otherwise it's almost identical. The LT doesn't have ventilated seats though. Shucks😂

It’s a joke GM did not put an updated interior into the first three trim models.
That would raise the cost. Those buyers wouldn't buy if the price goes up 10k

@@marcg.3830 That's quite a story you tell. It's not what I said, of course. Next time, try reading what is written instead of making crap up.
It all boils down to what you want to use the truck for and how you plan to use it

Base model is perfectly fine, the Bison is for owners more intent on creature comforts and off-road antics.
These comparison videos are the best - all of your videos are great, but providing relativity is helpful.
I would stay with the basic for what I use it for although I would try to get a sunroof
Can you please tell us about where they are assembled and USA Mexico parts thank 😅
I would go for a lt trail boss right in the middle
The loaded version if. I had the money too.😮
Ben with the hard hitting analysis on the shocks…heh heh.
LT Trail Boss is the best of all worlds.

No, unless I had money to burn! Base model. Good format “Cheap vs Expensive”.
Chevy needs to put parking sensors on the next batch of Custom and LT trucks. Along with a V8 w/o DFM
Next Cheap v Expensive Video please do Ram 2500/3500

The first time you 4250002 times in your career is the second 💶💶
Can't get over a Bison name.. Nice trucks.
ZR2 but no Bison package
All new truck next year bad ass😂
Bro looks like the Jesus of car reviewers

I honestly don't understand the 4cyl. You're getting shitty mileage, lower towing and most likely, anemic performance.
I mean it's better than a wranglers 60k price swing 😂

Did he say “just the regular shitty ones”??😂
Chevy, but it does sound like shitty, because I slur my words sometimes.
@@BenHardyCarsyou said shitty and playing it off 😂😂😂😂😂 your like this peasant pos version 😂😂😂
Personally, think the console in the ZR two is annoying it takes up so much space.

Chevy, but I slurred a little. I have a speech impediment.
@@BenHardyCars no need to cover it up I think there shitty also
NOPE, Just a truck.
If they didn’t have huge import duties, I’d be in a Toyota hilux
I would not pay for Bison Edition but I love my 2023 ZR2. But if I only had $45K, you still get a good truck from Chevy!
I’m sorry both of these trucks are sooooo 😩 boring compared to some of the other fun things out there to buy
