These are the trucks I like the most. Cheap, reliable, durable, work truck. No luxury gimmicks, no latest technological innovation, it just does the job you expect it to do.
Well it is a GM product so I wouldn't count on it being reliable
Bronco Billy sure whatever you say fanboy.
the other tfl uploaded video shows chevy can't even get high tech gadgets like the rear defroster and radio right.
The chevy version is a few thousand less expensive than the GMC (and minus all the chrome). For a work truck, that can't be beat.
Alan Bowers lol i think you are living 20 years to 40 years in the past. Gm has gone to shit along with ram. Ford and toyota make the only decent trucks with nissan comming in a distsant 3rd.
The truck that everyone says they want, but no one buys!
Cause dealers don't put them on the lots... less profit in the base units!
@@nicoleduncan5787 bingo. Instead they talk you into spending a little more money for the 5.3. This 4.3 engine is a good solid no thrills engine that just runs and runs and runs. It actually reminds me a lot of the six liter that everybody loves.
Ashes 2 Ashes - Honestly the 5.3 V8 is worth the little extra cash for these single cab bare bones work trucks. Gets the exact same fuel economy with more hp and torque, and is also a good solid reliable engine as well.
@@adogg619 id agree. I like the 5.3 better, but the the 4.3 isn't a bad mill.
I would take it with the 5.3 and 4wd. But you have to be careful because some of the 4wds don't have 4 low.
"An honest truck". Best summary statement; well done Andre.
285 HP from a base, normally aspirated V6. I remember not too long ago when that was the top of the line V8 HP in trucks and sports cars!
This motor will end up in lot of off road cars just like LS. Motors
@@techs1smh13 Wouldn't be surprised. These new 4.3's are part of the LS family anyway (Gen 4 small block)
Yeah, that’s the rating of the 5.3l that’s in my 2000 Sierra
Zach Reynolds but Ram’s 3.6 has less torque
And it gets the same mpg. Lol
Gm- "makes most affordable truck"
Me- still way out of my price range
Lmao me too I want one but I'll have to save for a few years !
So that’s what an actual truck looks like,I almost forgot.
@@BlackLung87 What do you think is an 'actual truck' then?
Yep this truly is as close to real truck that you can get these days.
Who wants a peasant spec half ton truck lol. Gimme dat Denali with a 5ft bed anyday.
Man i run these trucks in the oil field. The slightly more loaded one with elec windows and 5.3l is what we use. We can fleet buy them 2 or more at 23700 each. And that 5.3l will get 22mpg with the multi displacement system down here at sea level. They are tuff after 100k miles they still don’t rattle near as much as a f150. And we have 5 dodge’s just like that with hemi’s in them and the goat is a rattle trap on these oil field roads after about 60k miles their door hinges are pure 💩 you have to keep a spray can of wd40 with you at all times.
The sqeaking driver door is weird common thing on 4th gen Rams, i have to oil it about once a year, maybe because its used less as personal vehicle...other then that i never had rattles and I pulled apart dashboard like about four times to add features, I had 3rd gen for 11 years, no rattles even my GM biased mechanic was surprised, also no issues with Chrysler Transmissions or engines, my 2007 4.3 fleet Silverado burnt lots of oil about quart a month had some minor electrical issues, transmission was very rough at D selecting, but never failed nor the engine. To be completely honest things might would be different if I would use my Ram heavy in a plant or something, although I know a company here who uses nothing but Fleet Rams, I guess I can ask them... now I have at work a fleet F-150 and it's pretty nice, but everything newer is usually nicer
Gary B Wood
Hey can you get me a job in the oil fields?
I wish I could scoop up a fleet model for 23k I’d buy it in a heartbeat
@@Rea1_Madrid no one wants to help out anyone the don’t know
Gm is the way to go if you want a fleet of trucks that will last a while
I'm a simple man when it comes to trucks and I appreciate you reviewing a basic truck for people like me who don't see it necessary to have the greatest and all of the bells and whistles. but there are some features I need, air conditioning, power windows, cruise control, intermittent wipers 😁. and if the comfort group comes with heated seats I'll take them but I promise that's all the features I like :-)
I am a no-frills truck guy. I think the most modern thing on my truck (besides cruise control) is power windows. :) Everything else is just no-frills. I don't mind frills and think they're neat, but I just can't be bothered to pay for them. (And on a cold morning in Texas, I do wish I had heated seats too... heheh)
You hit the head on the nail. That all I have one my double cab custom Silverado. I need all that plus the 5.3 with the 6 speed. Any other trans is too complicated and expensive to fix when it goes bad. Had my truck for 1 year and have 50k on it so far.
Same here. Just recently bought a low mileage 2018 GMC Sierra WT. My requirements were AC, Cruise, remote locks. That's it. It gets warm in the summer, I frequently drive 150+ miles, and I like being able to unlock my vehicle before I get to it when it rains. I will add remote start because it gets damn cold here in Michigan.
I daily tow 4k lbs with a 2016 4.3. This engine will do anything you want it to, maybe at just a slightly slower pace.
Yeah it's a fantastic engine for a base model. I think with trucks people really start to blur the lines between their needs versus their wants (often confusing the two). This engine will do as near to 100% of what people need, just taking a bit longer to do it.
I repair industrial lifts in so cal. That's the most reliable engine and people abuse the shit out of them no oil water radiator core blocked with shit keep running.
Also when toyota lifts come with a Chevy engine that's saying something.
@@techs1smh13 I really believe the V6 can do anything but I do need my 5.3 because i daily tow 8k uphills and desert running. I need a truck that can run my AC and work hard with put overheating. My last 4.3l lasted 400k so I know it can last forever.
@@bmartinez2086 👍👍 I have a banks big boss bundled 6 gun d max. My co vehicle 2012 2500 van 4.8 weighs 8700lbs I beat the dog out of everyday 168k miles.
There's a dealer in ky with the chevrolet counterpart of this truck for 21k if only i wasnt laid off
Dodge saying a prayer for you,,,,,,things will get better,,,,,,,,I’m 57 and never seen anything like this,,,,,,, also when you do get this truck, throw up a video, I’ll watch!👍
Dodge when the liberals realize they can’t squeeze any more from the treasury we will all be able to go back to work. Praying for you.
@@scarroll625 Sending people home the way that they did was beyond stupidity
Demo-COMMUNIST-crats want the economy collapsed before the election. The top Demo-communist said never let a good crisis go to waste.
Aris Torm y’all are crazy, this is a national health issue how did you idiots turn it into a political one
I’m so glad to see crank windows in a new truck
I have a 93 Chevy 1500 with that same 4.3 V6 and it's still running strong! Dinosaur
Much different. These aren't the old Gen 1 small block based V6 that was used until the late 2000's. These new 4.3's are Gen 4 LS based V6's, they share more with the 5.3 than they do the old 4.3.
Yeah I have a 2016. It's not the same.
I have a 98 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 4.3, had blown a head gasket but we still putting it back together
That 4.3 V6 was used from 1991-2014 damn right it's still running strong

UHAUL special!
This is the $20 for the first 15 mile deal of a lifetime at Menards too! That once a year need for mulch stone, sand, plywood, etc. Buy your stuff and for $20 you load it in this and drive it all home.
It honestly does look like it was going to be sent to uhaul 🤣🤣
Zach C usually for that I find it cheaper to rent from hertz as it’s 25 to rent it for the whole day with unlimited miles. And hertz has crew cabs with a more upper trim than basic
Uhaul usually has a base V8 in all of their vehicles.
@@gimne Where is Hertz actually renting anything for $25 / day?
This is the truck that everyone claims to want, but nobody actually ever buys.
@Tsang Tsung why don't they stock them? Might be cause only fleets are buying these trucks, but everyone, my self included, pass this up for a decked out one for a stupid reason, mine is I want leather seats
Facts
I guess I really am a nobody. 😢
Nobody claims to want this. How many ppl you know that actually want a single cab?
@@Ka_Gg - I meant that everyone claims to want a stripped-down, basic truck for a cheap price. In other words, the truck shown here. But given the chance to actually buy one, few, if any actually will.
Thanks for having a real normal truck on your program.
That’s a pretty reasonable base price for a work truck these days, usually GMC costs more. I’m also one of the few that’ll say this but the chrome looks good on a work truck, tired of blacked out bumpers 👍
My first truck was a 2006 4.8 v8 single cab short bed chevy with vinyl flooring midnight blue. I miss it so much and could kill myself for selling it! It was only $23,000 it was a demo model but practically brand new with 400 miles.
@@frankly2677 Right now the motor from that truck has been slapped into a and fitted with an eBay turbo and is out tearing up the streets right now.
@@frankly2677 I know how you feel my charger that was my baby got sold a few months ago. You should see if you can get it back
Had one
yeah, I agree, I don't need much in the way of options, not even air, but I really like the chrome bumpers.
I had a reg cab base with the 5.3 and 4x4 what a awesome truck I really miss it would have never sold it but kids
SMH!
*WOW* !!!!! *SSSOO happy to see a truck that is NOT $80k* !!!!!!! *GREAT job Andre* !!!!! *Would like MORE low cost truck reviews* !!!!!! #TheFastLaneTruck
It seems crazy the amount of drive trains they have available. Thanks for the great content guys!!
old school for sure... once upon a time that was the only way you could buy them... well u could get a short bed or flareside bed. If you could find one with a 3 speed stick shift...lol
Aye, you guys did the basic truck that I've been dailying, although I've been doing the Silverado 1500 version.
I have a 19 and had a 14 previously. The 4.3 V6, 6 speed. Mine is a 4X4 though because... Minnesota lol. I love the truck and the 4.3 does everything I need, even does well out on the interstate at 80 MPH for hours on end.
Reminds me of my dads truck growing up, great review Andre
I do love my roll up windows. My last 3 new vehicles have all had manual everything (JL, right now).
I have an AT4 but glad they recited this. Everyone always complains about the expensive trucks and acts like you still can’t get something like this and you’re forced to buy a Denali.
This is a nice truck, I’d get a slightly used 5.3 4x4 with the exact configuration. Love the reg cab, they are just so rad
Coming to a municipality near you!
Nils Johansson 😂 and rental car companies!
Municipalities where I live all in pa drive around top of the line utility type trucks with all the bells and whistles.
@@optimusprime3484 no wonder your taxes are so high. Get out of the demonrat states.
@@jacobking4106 Just couldn't resist, could you. On a truck review channel, no less.
@@anthonyc1883 well it's the truth. Just cant handle it can you?
Work is one of the main reason people want a truck, so it’s good to see some reviews covering exactly those types of vehicles. Keep up the good work Andre. Don’t change the Channel, just add to it!
I bought a new 2007 Silverado V8 work truck in 2007, got the family discount, GM Mastercard points, and a plethora of other discounts. $15,000 out the door, has 125,000 miles now NO PROBLEMS, one of the best purchases I've ever made, The truck feels, rides and handles like the day I bought it. TheReaper!
YES! FINALLY! THANK YOU! I'd like to see an mpg loop with this truck hauling 1500-2000lbs payload. Then I'd like to see a comparison to the F150 2wd regular cab with 3.3 V6 doing the same. The question is, with these base trucks having such good payload ratings, how will they perform when loaded? Can't find a single video anywhere on the innerwebs demonstrating this. I know it won't be exciting but I've heard they can do the job just fine. I wan't to see THAT real world review!
@Nate Booth I have a 2018 Silverado with the 4.3 and tow a 5000 lb camping trailer on occasion. It tows it just fine.
@@evankoleda3219 I'm considering payload. I want to put a 1000lb camper on one (daily), possibly up to 2000lbs paylaod with everything (occasional). Suspension upgrades will be needed but How will it do?
I had a 2014 extended cab 6ft bed 4x4 with the 4.3 v6. It had the WT2 package so it had power windows, chrome bumpers, ect. I poured concrete steps in front of my house using bags of quickcrete cement. Hauled (20) 80lb bags back from Home Depot in the bed and I was VERY impressed with how it handled the payload. I was able to merge into traffic with no difficulties and honestly didn’t feel that much of a difference from how it felt unloaded. It stopped well too. I loved that engine. It was actually pretty peppy and fun to drive. I bought the truck used cause I got a good deal even tho I wanted a v8 but after owning it I realized that unless I was towing a heavy trailer, I didn’t need the V8 at all. It was still rated to tow 7200lb anyway. P.S: if you get one that can run e85, it bumps the rating to 295hp and 330lb ft torque
This is what we need more of, the regular cab and work truck models. I personally love regular cab trucks.
Great content keeping me going through quarantine!
I have a 2000 Sierra like this one, except mine has a 4.8 l V-8. I bought it in 2001 for 12 grand with 5k miles on it from U-Haul. Mine has AC, I installed better radio/ stereo/CD player, and bought a set of higher end aluminum gmc take off wheels from a tire shop for $300. I have had it over 20 years, have about 180k on odometer, and it is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I am now 69 years old, and have no doubt the truck will outlast me! It is in remarkable condition.
Finaly a regular cab longbed truck thumbs up, I am sick of seeing soccer dad crew cabs .
Second Creek Workshop imagine making fun of people who buy a vehicle that fits their needs, I didn’t know you could only own a truck if you fill the bed daily and tow a tractor everywhere lol
😂
@@JC71444
Did you say the same to the other commenters saying it looks like a uhaul truck ?
Some 4door trucks have a 5.5 foot bed. I think thats stupid. Might as well buy a suv! Can't even haul a sheet of plywood! Lol. Plus after making your monthly payment not money to put gas in it! Just a hard working class guy. Not paying 60+ grand for a truck, if it stop there for all the bells n whistles makes no sense
male soccer moms.
Nice! I'd probably get 4 wheel drive and a bigger engine, but the rest of that truck is great. I love the manual windows. I just had to replace the computer that controls my electronic doors and locks which cost around $500 so right now I would much rather have those manual controls.
I dig the manual windows too, but the design on this one is just plain dumb. A friend has one and with the door closed it's nearly impossible to reach.
@@KT_One You so correct. I have one in a chev. It hit my hand on the door pocket when I roll the window down. When the window is fully down the handle lines up in the area of the door cup holder and you can not have a can in the holder when using the window...HELLO!!!
Thanks for the review. I've been waiting for a review of the base Silverado or Sierra. Very impressed with what it is, especially for the money!
I have the 2000 Sierra version of this truck. Mine has a 4.8L V8, but is similarly equipped. It was a U-Haul rental truck, I bought it in 2001 with only 5500 miles on it for 12 grand cash! I have owned it for 22 years, it has 181k miles on it now, and is the most reliable and trouble free vehicle I’ve ever owned!
Plain Jane work trucks....Yes... iv been waiting for this episode..this is style of truck I want...the plain Jane model...thanks a lot Andre⭐⭐⭐⭐
5:36 "yes its 2020 but it has roll down windows"
Honestly. I don't mind roll down windows. No motors to go bad
@@timothywhite8130 I know someone with a 2011 Silverado with manual windows. The manual window assembly inside broke on him. Meanwhile, my 99 Tahoe with power windows has never had an issue with the window motors.
Awesome edit at 6:39! Looks like Andre's hand is actually shifting the screen!
Thanks Andre. I love all things truck, so seeing s base model review is very nice content. My work just got a 2019 F150 4x4 reg cab with a base V6 and 6spd auto. The F150 is a dog in regular mode but just putting it in Sport mode really wakes it up, it’s like night and day. I would love to see how a base model F150 compares to that GMC. Thanks again, I love truck reviews and watch all the TFL channels.
Finally! A review of a real truck.
I love this generation of GM trucks I just really wish there was a short bed option here in the states, that would really motivate me to get one
Because you don’t need a truck you need a car 😂
I ended up getting it lol
@@amrx17 their good lookin trucks. Congrats
Reminds me of the K5 Blazer GMC Jimmy With a Short Bed Regular cab.
Great job on the review, always entertaining and informative. And always a thumbs up.
Thanks for this great review! This is the kind of truck I look for. Not too many dealers stock them. I like all your reviews. I like to see all the new up and coming gadgets ,then reality sets in & I don't need a lot of what is offered.
Love to see a similar review of ram and ford. Thanks
I found Andre’s barely concealed disdain for this truck to be hilarious!
Love the reviews as always just sad to see such a base truck being so expensive
Trevor C Really is.
I can’t believe it’s still $30,000. That is outrageous. My Dad bought the exact same truck in 03 for like $13,000. Truck prices are out of hand.
.... welcome to corporate greed....
My friend has the last generation base crew cab v6 Chevy version, that v6 effortlessly works with 5 of us in his truck
Thank you for reviewing a "cheap" truck! I have a 2012 Ram 1500, single cab. The only amenities it has are power windows. Besides that it has the 5.7L hemi and it is a bad ass little truck!
Tick tick tick tick
The 4.3 L V6 is a very reliable engine as a matter of fact mine has 240,000 miles and still sounds and rims like it's brand new
Loved it in the s10. Surprised it's still around
Too bad Colorado doesn't have this engine.
THE WOFFORDS because it’s just a chopped small block
This is a different 4.3 from the older one. This 4.3 is based on the LS engines. Its just as reliable as the old LT based 4.3 everyone loves, but more powerful.
@@ashes2ashes863 being im a GM technician id have to disagree. Not a bad engine, but not as reliable as the early 2000s 4.3L. These new 4.3L have cylinder deactivation issues and direct injection issues with the intake valves. As well as lifter seizing issues.
Excellent well detailed review Andre. Thank you.
It's pretty interesting to see how this work truck stacks up against my truck. I was surprised that crank windows are available on a 2020 model truck. I drive a 2004 Silverado work truck with the 5.3 V8, 4x4 with a floor shift lever, rubber floors, cloth seats, crank windows, manual locks and anything else it has, I added. When I was looking for my truck, I knew I wanted something that would be basic and unable to have small gremlins with power options going out but I wanted something that wasn't too old either. I searched high and low for it but I ended up buying it from the government. It was a county service truck before it was mine. I have since lifted it, put bigger tires on and a camper top on the back for boondock camping. Great content, keep it up and let's see more of the base models.
this is the peoples truck
They would be all over the place if this was the peoples truck. People want front and rear lockers to get out of the back yard grass , 2 inch lift for the low lying cement, spray in bed liner to hold the air that surrounds it silly!
@@bryane2857 well that would be a dream
no its not, this is a farming or mining or a business truck , no one wants so much lack of convenience in their daily live
This is the contractor truck, or married couple truck. Who like to be stuck in snow. Not going to fit 4 people in this truck.
Love Reviews like this! Feels like Regular Cab Pickup Trucks are becoming very rare for very stupid reasons (Unless every Company imaginable keeps buying them before they become available to the public).Regardless, I would like to see a Review of a Regular Cab F-150 with the Base 3.3L NA V6. There's little to no coverage regarding that Engine, and I've heard it's Miles better than the Base 3.5L V6 from Previous Years.Keep up the Amazing Work!
It is VERY peaky. With the 2.7 so cheap, the only companies that get the 3.3 are car rental and for hire like uhaul. Take rate is less than 5% at this point. It's not a bad engine, it's just not a truck motor. You spend far too much time above 4,000 RPM. The 4.3 is probably the best base motor available. That being said, no half ton engine is "simple" DI, VVT, and cylinder deactivation aren't simple. The simplest is probably the 3.6 Pentastar in the Ram, but not by much. It is however, also quite peaky.
Thanks for the review! I think you are probably the first the review a base truck!
In 1997 to 2003, my daily driver was a 1997 Chevy C1500 Work Truck with a 5-speed manual and a V6. This looks so unnecessarily high and huge in comparison. However, I do REALLY appreciate your effort in finding one that isn't a leather-clad, 4wd crew-cab.
Wow I like it
This I could afford no way I could pay 75 to 80 k for a truck
For a v6 it don’t sound bad at all kinda impressed tbh
This was by far the best video I have ever seen On this channel
Thanks Andre. Had not considered a base truck. Didn't think they still made them. Had 1 many years ago and it was one of the best and most reliable vehicle I ever owned!
I wondered where the two doors are going to be made since I didn't see ANY of them coming down the line in the Fort Wayne, Indiana. Looks like the single cab is being made in Mexico. Guess I won't be buying one.
I'd love to see a regular cab Z71 with the 5.3.
I grew up in a logging family and one thing my grandpa loved was selling his pickup loads of firewood on the side of the big hauling semi's..we had 12 1500 n 2500 gmcs , chevys and a two f150s at the peak of us running it together(I was 4 when I was finallystrong enough to fill in for the 2nd man ) for a good 20yrs.. the 4.3v6s wehter in a 2wd or 4wd almost always out worked the v8s..less breakdowns and and usually stayed stronger into its hig miles.. Geez we had a few hit 300,000miles plus before selling and replacing...one truck a grey 1991 gmc 4.3 4x4 we bought together with 370 000 miles and worked hard overloaded for 10 years. We would load a cord of fresh hardwood 80% of the time riding the 1/2 tons on the bumps tops lol..never had a issure.. well it was great until he passed and my family auctioned off the homestead and all split up.. Just some memories with this truck that are so special. Anyway back to it we had mostly 3/4tons with 350s(favorite all time) until the white w/ts came outwith 4.8 v8s and of coarse more of them 2cyl short 350v8/4.3v6! They're just so practical and reliable! We beat the hell out of those trucks. If you drove em soft you didn't get to drive em. I dont ever see that truck going away and long live the 4.3! Also what a motor it was in the turbo version cyclones and typhoons 🤯💘🥰💯❣
I think it would be cool if you guys invested in a hoist and analyze the layout of components and sizing underneath the vehicles. Great video as always!
I’d like to see the ford version with the 3.3l. And do a fuel economy run.
@Clint Mullins My brother-in-law has a 2wd single cab Ford with the 3.3 V-6 and he loves it. His has the 6 1/2 foot bed. The fist time I drove it I was pleasantly surprised how quick it was and the turning radius was fantastic. He has been averaging around 24 mpg in mixed driving. The only thing my sister doesn’t like about it is it doesn’t have cruise control. He paid around $20K for it in early 2019 as it was a leftover 2018 model.
Ronald Poley that’s encouraging to hear. Is it a new one with the 10-speed? I assume that would help maximize wheel torque in lower gears to make it feel more sprightly and willing.
Alan Bowers the 3.3 still uses the 6 speed like the 3.5 did from 2015 to 2017. I have a 2017 with the 3.5 and it gets 19 to 21 even hauling 1000 pounds. The 3.3 is the same as the 3.5 just smaller displacement and a little more hp but a little less torque or the other way around.
We have a 3.6L V6 Ram classic quad cab 4x4 a 3.3L V6 extended cab f150 and the 4.3L V6 Silverado in our fleets. Honestly the Ram and Ford are fine till you put over 3000lbs of weight on the tongue. But Chevy definitely tows like a old V8. But did say the 3.3L is the fastest when unloaded.
@@foxwithshades7080 In other words, the GM truck actually is a better truck for doing actual work. The only issue is despite the fact that you have real living proof of the GM serving a better purpose, all the haters will call you a liar and tell you your not credible, because they don't like the truth.
Could never justify buying a truck with a VIN that starts with a "3". It disappoints me that they shipped production of these south of the border.
I agree with you and being from Canada I always look for Vin 2 but currently own a Detroit built truck. I work at a garage and every time I see a Silverado I notice the nicest condition older ones are usually Mexican built. Maybe they pay less in labour but actually put a bit of those savings into a better quality product. Just an objective observation.
Im dissapointed too but id still buy the truck. Its not made any differently, as long as it isnt made in China.
@@P.A.C.E.automotive cheaper labor = more profit
Please keep going with the base model reviews!
AWESOME Video Andre i have a 2014 Silverado with a extended cab work truck model and i love the 4.3L no issues and has plenty of power for the muddy job sites i am on LOL. You dont always need a huge V8 to get the job done.. keep up the great work.
Wish my work used GM for their fleet vehicles...
A bit better than the Isuzu crap they use for sure
The magic words "LONGBED!" put a good shell with extra height and it's all you need! Less fancy electronics good to go!
Nice work Andrea , I grew up in a work truck working summers. These are the bread and butter rigs of construction, farming etc. All those who drive the loaded maxed out toy's probably never rolled up there sleeves and broke a sweat.
it's currently June 2022, same vehicle today in South Carolina is currently $42,000.00. I remember reading the Sunday newspaper just a "few" years ago and seeing advertisements for full size base model trucks for $10,000.00 - $12,000.000. And $15,000.00 - $22,000.00 for fully equipped models. So how did this happen where a base model pickup truck to earn a living went from earning a living, to earning an entire living just to be able to buy one to start earning a living? CAN'T ANYBODY ELSE SEE THIS? WTF PEOPLE?? STOP COMPLYING!!!
People, its not the same 4.3 that was in your old S10s. Come on now. Andre, you did not explain that well at all. It has only been out since 2014.
Wisco 12 he did say it was an Ecotec3 at least.
lol, S10 wished it made these power and torque numbers.
@@RyanRKJ my awe astro make 250 pounds of torque and 190 horsepower
THE WOFFORDS add another 100 hp and 55 torques. Thats a big difference!
My 03 Astro has 190 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque
My mini bike has 5hp and 4 torque
I believe the new 4.3 is aluminum and has almost same HP and trq as v8
@@techs1smh13 my trnny is aluminum , I use magnets to keep metal shaving out and they would not stay
Who different engine
@@pryme2013 Hahaha. Good one.
What a canvas to work from,...this one has possibilities by the ton ( or tonne ) !
Good on ya Andre,..nice to see what the average person can afford more easily, and or buy to turn into whatever the buyer wants.
( of course I like just about EVERYTHING that comes with wheels on it! )
I just noticed a nice feature on this truck,..the hood/bonnet has gas struts to hold it open,...no more prop rod,..that's good too.
Make it exactly the same with 4x4 and I'm in. Winter 6 months( sometimes more sometimes less) of the year and some pretty crappy roads when you head out of the city. I love it.
I instead like what the Chevy cfg'r gives in 4x4 and sport bar: 2020 Silverado 1500 4WD Regular Cab, Long Bed WT $
32,630. Painted black with the plastic trim, it's like a poor man's monochrome look. You can probably trim that down as that's with some personal extras.
Thanks for doing some working class stuff!!
Brilliant review!!! This is exactly what i was looking for. Bulls eye guys.
Well done Andre!
Like the base truck. Wishing it was available with the short bed.
Same. Fun fact I learned quite recently, the regular bed is offered in other markets. Check out Chevy's website for Abu Dhabi. I thought the trucks were photoshops at first, but they're actually sold there. Pretty cool.
There's a dealer in GA with a Silverado version of this and its going for 19k
Thanks for the review!
Love a good basic truck.
Excellent assessment. Good work, Andre..!
Add 4x4 and manual transmission
Then I’d buy it lol
the new 2020 single cab Ford 8' box is $27,815 all you add is tax, I just priced it on the Ford site.
You never get those prices at dealers tho, at least in my experience. I can price trucks out all day on there website, but once you get to the dealer you get those mark up prices.
@@ramonguzman9470 Same story with this GMC too though.
@@ramonguzman9470 I've always gotten markdowns for my vehicles. I could find trucks discounted $10,000+ all year long. Honestly, I don't anyone who has ever paid MSRP for trucks, besides for some limited production model, like a Raptor. I don't know what your issue is.
Just get a loaded tacoma
@@ramonguzman9470 There are discounted trucks all over autotrader and across the country. The markdowns are literally automatic. You have to absolutely be the WORST KIND of buyer to think most trucks sell for more than MSRP.
Love these types of videos! Give us more of base models (since that is all I can afford lol)
I think some people forget that many of us have to work for a living and need a truck to get the job done. I need to haul my sheets of 4 x 8 plywood, drywall and 2 x 4 's. I don't need power windows, especially when my kid needs braces.
I'm surprised that a base truck comes with carplay.
Will need "OnStar" for sure
If I were to buy a brand new regular cab, the I would change a couple things - Shortbed, 5.3L, 4Wd
Kudos to you Andre. Good coverage.
I just wanted to say thanks for this vid. I bought this same truck which was a demo for $25,000. I am so happy with my purchase
Can you do a tow test with it?
If they install a receiver hitch on the back of it. I can't understand why some truck manufacturers don't standardized hitches on their trucks from the factory, guest to keep the aftermarkets like CURT and others in business to manufacture hitch receivers if your truck didn't came equipped with it. Just don't mount the ball on the step bumper. LOL

Dude, your a creep
I purchased a new 14 Silverado base 4x4 with the tow package, locking rear diff, larger tires, cruise, tilt for $26K cash. They threw in a bedliner and floor mats. I know they made money, but I needed a truck that day. It's been a good truck, decent power, pretty good on gas and it has the old 4wd shifter on the floor where it belongs. I only have 46K miles on it.
Outstanding review, I want one
Umm I bought my ram tradesman for 27,000 it's a long box reg cab with a 8speed and hemi 4x4...
What year is it
Dodge reliability is terrible tho
👍🍻
Because any discussion that includes price has to have a guy in the comments who got a better deal...and who has to tell everyone about it. Enjoy your Dodge.
Man I hope we get a new body style soon. GM designers have hit a all time low with this design
As everyone cannot afford the high end trim packages, this is a relevant video to many.
So glad to see your reading the comments, and Andre Your doing a great job! but if you can get it set up the 99 mile mileage test, towing and empty and the Ike Gauntlet between the 3.3 f150, 4.3 Silverado/sierra, and the 3.6 ram would be great. testing the real HONEST TRUCKS.
Thanks for letting on that the sticker is simply a starting point for price negotiations, my 47k f150 left the dealer for 33k 5.0 10spd 4x4 super crew XLT chrome power everything towing big screen 6 person seating and a massive back seat room. even got ford pass rewards to include a front and rear dash camera system which I love. Keep up the good work Andre!
