Well done guys….this is why we’ve been touring Australia in one for over three years. Hands down the best tow tugs in Australia 🇦🇺 🙌🏼
You’ll still pay north of 150k for a land cruiser Sahara zx or a GR sport plus on road.
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
Agree 100% , no room in the ranger and hilux at all
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?
Love mine. See
Love it. I can only wish
Very nice
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
Not too mention the rough a shit roads in Australia white knuckled in a ranger or dmax towing 3 t 😂😂
You still haven't responded to comments on the Landcruiser 79 series video where you were over the vehicle's GVM on public roads.
Absolutely. As long as they don't drive on public secondary roads or public car parks.
No worries Karen....

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.
That is the exact cost I paid for my house. I paid that exact amount 10 years ago for a detached 2 story home, with a shed, pond and pear tree..
The house probably doesn’t go very fast! Seriously, things are expensive. Bet your house ain’t $160000 anymore either.
@@frankmicallef2839 160000 in 2009 375,000 in 2023. highway robbery or hand of the gods depending on whether your buying or selling lol
Driving around twin waters on the sunny coast i see
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.
For many these are their only cars. How do they handle the suburban run ?
Pain in the butt in older places with small streets but quite fine if you avoid the tighter places and just go shopping in newer areas.
@@TheTripleDubya Thanks with planning it can work.
Same as you would with a truck
When did trucks change their names to ' cars ' ?
It is a Australian thing. But yes you are correct, body on frame vehicles are trucks.
Seemed to have missed the F250 out of your comparisons as more torque and horse power !
F250 not sold by Ford in Australia
Great tow rig
Ah Sam can please borrow this for a day just so I can upset my federal local member Chris bowen and my lefty neighbours please 😂
Torsion bars, not torsion beam.
Imagine a P plater inside that ?
