Baby boy is happy, Ashtyn looking as beautiful as ever, new fleet of fresh rides, life is good Mike :) thanks for letting us tag along
That long box reg cab would be my absolute dream farm truck
Yes, I've always found regular cabs more useful if you're not driving a bunch of passengers often. The big box is incredibly useful
I remember a time when a farm truck had no radio, power steering or power brakes. Now it's heated or non heated seats lol. Have to admit that I really enjoy heated seats lol! Pretty shiny!!
Why are you complaining? It’s nicer to have more feautures even if it’s something else to go out you can enjoy it until it does go out then just don’t replace it if you don’t want.
@@JoshuaOverman Who's complaining? Simple observation.
Mike I'm glad made the HUGE change with the color. You run a good looking fleet of vehicles. The family looks good as ever. You are blessed Mike
Little Chapel looks sweet great little smile.
Our family forestry business runs 2 of the little Duramax's, awesome trucks for constantly being on the road, cant beat the mileage consumption. I still run an '04 3/4 ton Cummins, as I manage a cutting crew, and use my crew cab as a tool carrier, while i either carry a fuel tank or have my 5th wheel flat deck trailer hauling my over-the-tire tracks and a portable 1300L tank for fuel.
The one truck is a lease deal as it hits 50 000kms every year, so it gets traded constantly
Mike, believe me, once you go silver, you will never go back. It is BY FAR, the easiest color to keep looking clean
Thats racist
You have to be silver to say that, looks to me like your white
A pimp once said…Green is for the money. Gold is for the hunnys!
I always figured once you go black you never go back
Gray like Mike's but definitely not silver ,I drive a silver car and hate it
The widget on the front next to the camera is the camera washer. Swipe up and down on the right side of the screen to get rid of the old school clock.
Nice looking trucks Mike and Ashtyn
can't wait for dpf adblue problem videos later this winter :-P
Mike, the white GMC 3500 is “keyless entry,” that is with the fob near you/on you, simply press the little silver button in the door handle and it unlocks/locks the truck doors. Zouave don’t need to pull the fob out and press the open button, just press that small silver button in the door handle . . . . .
Enough pickups to enjoy.
Mike, you can switch the amber lights on the roof and fenders over to led clear or white on the gmc. Seen one driving the other day and looked wayyy better
Gross
Great looking truck; love the color! I notice there’s no 2500 or 3500 badging on the side of the truck. Also,I NEVER remember seeing the blue truck in previous videos!
Gm put it on the front bumper. Kinda silly
The 6.2 is the best engine option by far. Best mileage per dollar, more than enough power.
We don't have these "trucks" (jeeps) in Ireland but the blue one is my favourite looking! I also like Astons one too 😊
Love The Grey!
Love my 3.0l Duramax. Incredible mileage...
I have a white truck,my wife has a black suv,I wash the truck couple times a year,the suv almost weekly.
Ford truck guy, but Chevy does make damn nice Duramax trucks.... Still all about your dealer, and support/loyalty... My wifeys primary has been Infiniti/Nissan for the last 25 years, why, loyalty and dealer relationship...
My dad got a 24 Sierra 3/4 ton, he had an emissions code come up about 4 weeks after he took delivery of it. Sat at the dealership for 2 weeks because parts were on back order. He was not too happy 😂 He went from a 15 to 24, and the power difference is crazy. Not sure what the difference is from what you had to this, but nearly spun the tires first time driving it. LASTLY, the thing is a pain in the ass about the seatbelts, it just chimes and chimes and chimes, so he bought a clip that you clip into the seatbelt holder, and then the seatbelt clips into that. That way if you don’t put you seatbelt on it doesn’t chime, just got that from Amazon
Or you know….just put your seatbelt on. Crazy idea I know.
@@ryanmartin4574Ok, put the seatbelt on when you are just driving on gravel lanes and in between sheds… I am all for seatbelts they save lives, but when you are just going down the lane or scouting a field and you are getting in and out, and in and out, and in and out, it becomes a hassle. Only going 10 mph in an open area.
I’ve worked construction and doing pipeline inspections, driving slowly down right-of-ways in fields/bush constantly getting in and out of my truck all day long. It wasn’t that big of a hassle to throw the seatbelt on….the bigger hassle was trying not to spill my coffee
@@ryanmartin4574It is like wearing a seatbelt in a tractor on the field. No one does it. I wear it in the road, but not in the field. Don’t know of a single person who does.
Just nice that you have a Red tractor now.
Off topic lol
Great video Mike
It could be the European speaking from me, but that tall ass hood look so damn safe for people.
In the 1950s few farmers had pickups, they used their one car to haul sacks of feed and parts - in the trunk and backseats. Few pickups were even made (...International - IHC pickups became popular). Fun to see how advanced they've gotten, ha.
Yeah but farming was done on a totally scale back in the day, some of the newer pickups can tow 30,000 lbs. Not saying doing so is necessarily the best choice but it makes them extremely versatile as a farm vehicle. 😊
Thanks for the message - we still farm.@@chucklesx
@@frritter8253... All in the name of progress they say, not sure our ancestors would like the way things have gone but what can we do only try to keep up.
Same cb radios we us in our 16+ fendt 1042 tractors
The sensor next to the front camera is the Outside Air Temperature sensor. On most vehicles it is hidden further back in the grille.
I got a 2023 Chevy Duramax 3500, crew cab, LT trim in February of this year. My first truck that wasn't a regular cab. Cloth seats as I don't like leather. White, of course. I been driving white trucks since 1998.
I didn't like the dash on the 2024's.
3:53 The little side step was a giveaway that I had seen one in New Zealand 🇳🇿 today they are becoming more popular and common now.
Finally going with another colour other than white, just think in a few years we might see say red, blue, brown or gold
Nice
Mike make a farm tour of both north farm and south farm and show all your friends for 200k subscriber ❤😅
He should do a Google map page of both farms on the map and the roads they use.
@@westmanguy01 if you followed long enough you should be able too find it
I've never had anything but trouble with ride airbags on pickups. Even have the kevlar bag-bags and a second layer of pex over the main pressure lines and still would lose air.
nice trucks mike
Time will tell how long the regular cab truck will stay with you due to lack of back seat space for storage & occasionally a extra body or two.
I personally could not live without a crew cab & 6.5’ box configuration.
Nice truck
Super nice rigs Mike. When will we get a video on testing the posi? We all test on the skinny pedal once in awhile!
The babymax is the way to go.
BoostAuto just come out with Cab Lights and they have the side markers for the GMC
CHEVY ZR2 is the chevy built for farm life, in my humble opinion, along with a ram rebel and Powerwagon. Or the ford Tremor or Raptor.
I drive an 07 Ford with 300k on it. Will drive it till it dies. It’s worth nothing but these new ones are absolutely stupidly priced. But, they offer programs to keep asses in new seats.
I have an old 07 Ford reg cab as well, like you said run it until it dies 😆👍 but to travel back and forth between farms 2-3x a week I wear trucks out quickly unfortunately. My first highcountry was the record 260km in 2yrs. 😬
@@mikemitchell2554What kind and brand are you running on your two way radio in your trucks?
Yeah, the new trucks are very prone to break down. Even the diesel's my neighbor and a couple of guys where I work have the new ones. They aint even a month old. And one needs an engine and 1 of the transmission went out already.
I’m not calling you out. But I strongly disagree that the “new trucks” break down more than the old ones. I’ve put many miles on the “big 3” brands through the years and they are all reliable and then they all break at some point. Regular maintenance is key to keeping anything going and Mike will be the first one to tell you this.
Besides, Mike doesn’t have to worry about breakdown repair costs because these will have warranty while he runs them.
So what if it breaks down just get it fixed it’s under warranty.
I have seen a bit of both! My relative has a '14 dodge 1500 with the 5.7 hemi. After 10 years and 210,000KM, all he has fixed is the A/C condenser, and 4wd actuator motor. No leaks at all, and still on original brake pads! Was very surprised and impressed. Maintenance was not kept up, but maybe the usage, like very low idle time, has prevented a lot of the typical issues like lifter failure from happening.
I know exactly what you mean, and for a long time thought the same. Newer cars seem to break, and they cost a lot more in parts and labour to fix. I used to work at a dealership and saw that often. Personally I drive an old car, and it works good, just have to put up with fixing it every now and then. Cheers
Mike should definitely get a stroker
love your vids
Front end looks like a new dodge ram
Watching thinking.... man some people make a shit tonne of money...
Yeah no kidding!!
When the wife is the car guy of the family 😂
Mike, why would you not put the white fuel tank into the white truck. Then get a grey tank for your truck?
Like the amber Chev emblem on the front which matches the amber front signal lights. (not proposed black).
As a euro I like that the sensible diesels get choosen to go these high milages :) Hope everybody learned their lesson not to cheat that much. I like the Inside but the front of these generations aint my taste.
I see you got the new tailgate on the white one. Do not I repeat, do not leave or hit you. And put the tailgate you will bend your tailgate
This makes no sense at all
Hey Mike - when you ordering the new Tesla Cybertruck 🤪🤪🤪
That little guy of yours is one of the cutest little farmers I’ve ever seen and Ashton‘s pretty damn cute too but you do nothing for me Mike sorry, I guess two out of three is not bad😎
Hahaha well I tried! 😆
Well, one thing is also to consider Mike.
Instead of having 2 types of fuel on the farm, now you only have one( well, unless you count the 4 wheelers and atvs. So it makes it simpler for when the fuel truck comes in.
You'd still need all three, Off road Diesel, on road Diesel, and Gasoline(augers, ATVs, light trucks).
On a different note, I never understood that argument. They get paid to read the label, they're there for half an hour at most, and they don't charge by time.
@J-1410 most farmers just run farm diesel and dont worry about the rest. I know we dont. Never been checked.
@@jackbannock3458 Here we cross state and country lines enough, along with being the training ground for state troopers of two states, we don't risk it, as we have been checked, in a gasoline pickup though...
Most diesel farm pickups never leave the farm.
Hey Mike, is it better to lease the vehicle if you put on 100,000km a year compared to buying the vehicle? Seems like a lot of kilometres for leasing or it still pencils out better?
5:22 It looks like you can change that clock by swiping down on it.
The nipple thing next to the front camera under the bow tie is a washer nozzle to keep the lens clean. Only reason I know is it bothered me in my brother truck 😂
Mike have you ever thought about getting a long box instead of a short box?
I guess it doesn't make much sense for Mike as he doesn't often haul large loads, usually just parts or slip tanks I would guess
That little thing on the front of the gray truck? Washer for the camera. I'd like to see what the screen looks like when you go into reverse... the overhead view on my F250 was awesome until the lenses fogged up.
Why would you consider the clock a waste of space when it literally scrolls into whatever you want and you’re going to have your map there anyway. Waste of cpu maybe. Lol
Love the trucks tho, they are my dream trucks.
chev does a bad job with those ext side mouldings, the tape always gives way
Paint match the fuel tank on the silver truck😂😂
I have truck envy
Looks like a GMC of course same vehicle 😆
Pretty darn nice, even thou it is a Chevy . I’m a Ford guy . Ha ha
Mike, which Airbag system and compressor do you use in your pickups and how have they worked out so far… any complaints?
Morning
You're late
I would assume you can buy the diesel in bulk for the larger trucks as well?
13 fuel economy is absolutely fantastic. If you get 10 or 8 on the other one then that's what I need cause I don't believe you ever will
We do tho, it's consistent around the 8-11 depending on wind and driving speed.
@@mikemitchell2554 oh wow that's unreal
Wow! All I care about is reliability and cost for my farm. Looks help, but they aren't everything, especially on a working farm.
You're right! 🙂
Will mike ever live on one of the farms or are the farms just work places?
He has the one house a few minute drive from the south farm and then his other house is in swift current I believe
I don’t like LED tail lights, the snow doesn’t melt away.
First world problems.
We’d have to get snow first… 😂
You'll be wishing you just got a cheap crew cab wt dmax for the farm they get trashed so fast on a farm here the it's not worth shelling out for the bling
Família tudo bem tudo bom tudo joia beleza❤
I am old so I can determine the time quicker on an analog clock without thinking to much , but Digital is more precise if you want an exact time . lots of young people don't know how to read an analog clock 😂
man that thing is massive for me as a European
Mike, do you normally order the trucks or just get what's available on the lot?
Hopefully you’ll turn those fog lights off when you meet someone on the road
But Mike, what exotic color is it, gray something something.
650,000+ on a 2011
Ram 3500 I can’t understand a new truck anymore
Nice Truck, but RAM is the better one
Can you run purple in the baby duramax in scratchybum.
How do those sear covers work with the side air bags?
What ??? no little cooler in your truck mike??? Chapel has one in His truck??? :}
Looks nice. Altho i never understood why North Americans have a gas powered work truck? If you're gonna pull stuff around you want a diesel...
Gas is simple and cheaper to run maintenance wise. Also can put any idiot in it and not worry about it
Mike I have questions?? How many horsepower does it have now?? And how many miles per gallon does it get??
Mike u getting the cybertruck
What,.....no look at the engine compartments?!?!
Me realizing I’m in the wrong profession to be able to afford trucks like this… 😑
Haha I bet lots of people that drive em can't really afford it
Dont worry, most farmers finance or lease most things now a days. Nobody owns anything. Like my neighbors said, as long as we make the minimum payments on time we're good lol.
Lol we call them pleather seat cover or fake leather pleather sounds better tho 😂
Love it! 😆
Should be more gvw with reg cab, be better for towing.
Actually - serious question - why don't you like the big rig style top lights and the sidemarkers on the 3500? I'd love to have something like that on a truck over here in europe... but you hardly even get the half ton version xD
I been following you for awhile now and it seems to me that you don't stick to anything that long. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if you traded in your wife with a new wife, 👍😁👍😁👍😁👍😁👍. Just saying, lol, 🤣🤣🤣🤣!!
Omg 17litres to 100km on the 5.3 I have a 2020 5.3 crew cab 6.5 box and only 8 speed and I’m getting 10.4 litres something musta been wrong with ur old one I assume anyway.
Mike magnifique 4×4 sont bien équipés et bien intéressante 😂😊😅😮
mike, what is a killomatur even? 🤷♂
what is a mile ?
.62 of a 1 mile conversion
We farm in canada, its what vehicle speed is, look it up.
Its nice, but its no RAM...
6 in a ROW your ready to tow.
That’s a spray to wash your camera
Ha! That's crazy haha
As a European hearing that fuel efficiency is just amazing. But then again we pay 2.20 euro per liter... but you actually use them for heavy duty things and not just for show so I get it.
Like a gmc/Chevy commercial without naming the dealer. They deserve a little plug
85,000 dollar trucks built in Mexico profited GM 60,000 bucks
The High Country is 100,000 Canadian
