      It's not a fair comparison between solid axle and independent front suspension, you know that that suspension on this truck is designed for highway driving. To have a fair comparison, you have to bring an offroader with an independent front suspension, such as a G wagon or a hummer or a raptor or maybe a Polaris even it's not from the same category. You are just a fan of a solid axle and you don't 🙈 see any long travel independent suspension. Please show a real example and don't bring a knife to a gun fight

      Zr2 vs Gladiator would have been better to be honest, they both have front and rear lockers and are both mid size trucks. Also would have been a better comparison between ride quality and articulation because the Zr2 has those dssv shocks, that are really good off road and on road.

    At around 9:50, the Silverado rear wheel was lifting up more than the gladiator because of the longer wheelbase, not because gladiator has a solid front axle as Tommy stated.

    • @Moab12
      @Moab12 3 года назад

      10” longer wheelbase would contribute to it, but the SFA and the rear coil springs in Jee would absolutely be the main reason. Look how the Chevy passenger front wheel isn’t articulating into the fender like the Gladiator did.

      On one of the "I hate my ride" video clip a guy did a leveling kit, 35s, and an exhaust on his trail boss. He stated it improved the rig all around.
      Why don't they do that? Do some coil.overs and possibly a Torsen LS on the front to match the G80?

      I disagree, the trail boss is doing what it does best. “Looking the part” while doing every day truck duty. I’d use the trail boss to tow some dirt bikes or a camper down a dirt road, but extreme off road should be left to the Rubicon’s and Raptors.

    What is not mentioned by TFL is Trail Boss measurements are way bigger! More room for family, gear, towing and every day fun!
    Length 231.7”
    Wheelbase 147.4”
    Width 81.2”
    Curb Weight 5190
    Ground clearance 10.9”
    Gladiator
    Length 218”
    Wheelbase 137.3”
    Width 73.8”
    Curb weight 4691
    11.6” Standard Ground Clearance but it’s modified to be more then 11.6”
    So the Trail Boss did exceptionally well for being way bigger truck!
    Why doesn’t TFL point this out during articulation test and other clearance tests?
    Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss is the best choice for on and off roading hands down for this stock truck segment. Aggressive enough for some challenging off roading but yet family friendly for everyday use.
    Holds its own against aftermarket modified competitors.

      The Chevy is modified from their standard 4x4 truck thus being a Trail Boss. But it is a mild upgrade with 2" lift and 33" tires instead of usual 30-31"". So you can't say the Chevy is stock.

    • @gpaje
      @gpaje 4 года назад +1

      The Trail Boss is a mild off-road package that comes with a 2" level and 32" Duratracks (not 33" like on the Rebel). The suspension isn't off-road tuned, just raised for clearance. Also the locker is auto type, not a E-locker. Either way, that's a stock package, so it counts as stock.

      The trail that they went on is a 6 out of 10 if you don’t take all the optional bypasses and drive all the way through it. The area where they are testing these videos uses the first five or so miles of trail which by most people’s definition are a two or three. How do I know? Because my Jeep barely fit through the areas that are actually difficult on that trail, let alone a trail boss. That all starts around mile 7 if I’m recalling correctly.
