First time seeing a brother drive a truck, even a Chevy.
Great review. We just got a refreshed trail boss 6.2L and that thing with the 10 speed is buttery smooth. Such a nice drive.
Thanks and congrats, great combo 👍🏾
The smile on the 6.2 acceleration...😁
Did I miss the 0-60 results? The real hot rod of the bunch is the 1500 RST w/ 6.2/10-speed and max towing package. 0-60 might be the same (or worse) because of wheel spin, but that midrange punch is intoxicating.
Great video comparison. The 6.2L costs an extra $1200/year in fuel or an extra $100/month. That 6.2L is a beast but the 5.3L is the smarter buy.
If you worried about gas don’t buy a truck the 5.3 is a joke!
Get a 6.2 bro you won't regret it trust!!!
I love my 6.2 . I would never got back to a 5.3 ever.
22 Refresh LTZ for me, and I LOVE it. MPG is actually pretty good even with paddle boards on the roof and going >80 for hours...city MPG hurts. I religiously do the supreme gas, but not sure it is really needed...The ONLY complaint I have is the huge turn radius...it takes some getting used to. Adaptive crruise and all around cameras are pretty awesome. Fun video, looking forward to your channel.
I like how GM has finally done away with the square wheel wells and decided to go with the round wheel wells. I think the trucks look so much better now!
I agree
I definitely agree i like the rounded look better. That square look just terrible looking.
Square was really good for getting a hose and brush in to wash the wells, in my opinion.
5.3 W/ 10 speed does me just fine. CAI, Intake and Pedal commander do help..
If you don’t like the start/stop feature there is a way to defeat it without having to buy any device to install on the vehicle. My wife’s GMC Terrain has the start/stop feature and I can keep it from in gauging if I want to. Thank for the comparison of the 2 trucks JB.
Thanks Ric, I always disable it in the summertime when I had my 1500 but winter I didn’t mind it turning off 👍🏾
JB,
I have a '21 Chevy RST 6.2L I get low to high 20's for mpg. Coming from a '18 5.3L there is absolutely no comparison. When it comes to mpg. All of my milage is done on a calculator although thr computer in the truck is very close as well. I just had a 108.4 trip cruise set @70mph using 91 i filled up 3.860 gallons.
Do you have a 2WD or 4WD?
4wd
You obviously have AFM or DFM in the 6.2
I got 26.5 mpg in the 5.3 @ 65-70 mph with AFM. 4wd, crew cab, 6 speed auto.
Randy, They're pretty amazing when it come to milage. Definitely no complaints on this end.
Sweet comparison and a lot of people will be wanting to see the difference. I’ll take the MPG winner. Is the 6.2 premium fuel? Safe travels bro!🇺🇸💪
Thanks bro, the 6.2L is premium, I added it at the end to show a comparison between the 2 🇺🇸💪🏾
The 6.2 gets the same mpg.
I have gmc 6.2 it says 91 octane but I’ve used all n is the same
@@adanr150 Yours says 91? My book says 93.
Okay so here’s the thing, a drag race is where you line the two up side by side and run at the same time😑
I average 19.1 MPG for the lifetime of my RST with the 6.2. in mixed driving. It's not hard to accomplish.
Nigga you got to wot any chance you get
Excellent review between those two trucks.
U have the best job in the world i was a salesman 4 Dodge 4 40 years but i do anything 2 have ur job good luck 2 u my friend!
Using the computer for mpg is like trusting a 8 time felon.
That is weird GM doesn't put the 6.6 L8T in that truck and drop the 6.2. I can't imagine that 6.2 with a whipple supercharger.
The 6.6L would be perfect in the ZR2 and would probably be more cost effective to slot against the raptor and TRX
Nice video.
The 6.2 is on another level for speed as compared to the 5.3. The fuel mileage can be similar. I think with these two particular trucks part of the difference was how they were optioned. The 5.3 was a non Z71 so it had a single speed transfer case and also it had 18” wheels which are a pretty good amount smaller tires than the 6.2. All 6.2s have the two speed transfer case and this particular one had 20s.
The transmissions are interesting because I didn’t realize this but the 1500 10 speed is the 10L80, not the 10L90. The 8 speed is the 8L90 which is a higher power rated transmission than the 10L80. So that’s probably got something to do with the difference in shifting. I know on the Facebook groups the 8 speed gets trashed for how it shifts but the one I had seemed fine.
Good info! I believe the 6.2L had 22” wheels which I should have mentioned as a factor. They had a LTZ 5.3L but it sold before I could do the review. I think if I skipped the acceleration test, the MPG would have been closer 👍🏾
Another great review- thanks
Thanks Ed 👍🏾
6.2 for me. When I need to step on it I want it to step!
I want a v8 but 70-90k on a freaking truck is criminal, on the other hand im looking at a 5.3’s v8 for 45k new 0 miles thats something im more comfortable paying….
Now if only they had a factory SC on the 6.2L and a widebody to compete with the TRX and Raptor. ZR2 is decent for trailing and arguably the best suspension, but hard to compete against either of the competitors.
might wanna look into some stuff
I have the 5.3 with the 10 speed and get well over 22-23mpg if I’m milking it
I find GM dashboard mpg is inaccurate; it credits about 1-1/2 to 2 mpg more than I actually get by calculating pump-gallons/odometer-mile. Having said that, my 6.2L A8 3.23-rear gets consistent 21 mpg on highway commute
The 6.2 is the better engine on all levels for what is approximately the same fuel economy
6.2 can pull 22mpg if you treat it nice on the highway. I was able to get 24 in my 5.3 but it’s not as much fun to drive.
Good stuff, thanks for sharing 👍🏾
I get 22 mpg with my cummins
6.2 can get 24mpg once you add the cold air intake.
I have the 2021 GMC Denali and am averaging just over 19 average (Total over 22k miles) once you start running about 88 it drops substantially. Go figure.The only thing I did get was the performance package. It is a carbonpro so about 150 or so lbs lighter. I bought it before the chip shortage so the engine management is a whole lot better and I do use the engine cut off. Still. 420 hp and a warranty?
I have one and I love it
Nice comparison I had a 2017 high country with 6.2 awsome engine but now have a 2021 z71 silverado 5.3 more than enough power for everyday 1/2 ton truck plus I just use the cheapest gas I can find hated the premium fuel needed. All these reviews make a big deal out of horsepower and speed it’s a truck not a sports car
That’s what I’m thinking, it’s a truck and the 5.3 is more than capable, you want a 6.2 to fix it up for speed and all that, buy a sports car.
1500 rpms at real highway speed is why these trucks get 300,000 miles are only just begin to depreciate. They last forever! And the low cost of servicing them makes them all that much more of a great buy. It's a shame manufacturer's have caught onto this and double their prices in the last decade.
Was there a great deal of road noise in the cabin when driving on the highway in the white Silverado?
Very low noise and don’t remember hearing wind noise, the Bridgestone tires were really quiet too
Good info👍
Thanks 😃
Love your videos bro
Compare it to the new 2.7 turbo
The little 4 banger produces 310 hp, 430ft lbs of torque and it comes up at 1500rpm,
I bought a new 21 with the 2.7, average 22mpg around local, 25 on a trip, and I also bought a new 2022 with the new 2.7ho.
And I love them both, I have been buying new. Trucks since 1973, I love these new trucks
I had a 21 custom and that thing would surprise me sometimes you get on it getting on the highway and that turbo snaps you back in your chair. Now I have 23 RST 6.2L it’s a beast but the fuel is ridiculous. Also the 2.7 can tow 9600 lbs 😮
I'd prefer the 6.2
Great vid. Can you do one comparing the 6.2 vs inline 6 diesel.
I have one dropping tomorrow with the I6 Vs fords V6TT
At 6:21 what is those lights on the window dash is that a feature only in the high country and if so what’s it called it reminds me of something from need for speed that is shows the speed on the glass
That's called the HUD or heads up display so you can see it while keeping your eyes on the road. They're generally on higher trims.
I never understood people who buy trucks and worry about Fuel Economy😂
Premium fuel vs regular fuel.
Do these trucks have dfm set up?
What is with that panel gap on the high country? Is the hood not closed all the way. Because if it was I'd would complain about quantity control.
That hood was open 👍🏾
I have a 2021 Sierra 1500 SLT 6.2l with the 10 speed tranny. Best, so far is 26.7, and normal daily is 12-14, depending on traffic & weather. I'm not an aggressive driver. I'm not a regular "hauler" or a trailer person, and I try to use normal cruise control as much as possible, not the shitty adaptive control. I hate that option.
The 3.0 diesel is by far the best option out there for any half ton truck! Especially for fuel mileage and towing. It can’t be beat.
6.2 0wners love to buy Premium 93 octane Gas !
6.2l is 4wd and the 5.3l chosen was a 2wd truck. Of course the 2wd will get better mileage.
As an owner of both engines it doesn't matter. The 5.3 is more efficient regarding fuel economy. The 6.2 is a lot more fun to drive.
It looks like they are both 4wd unless the 5.3 just has a 2wd dash light to rub it in every time you drive. Looks like the the acceleration runs were both in 2wd as well for what that is worth. I get @ 6 sec for the 6.2 and @ 7 sec for the 5.3 0-60. About what they should be.
I can’t air bag the rear??
He was just saying that air suspension is not available from GM. You can buy aftermarket kits to get air bags on these trucks
Mang213 is correct. GM does not offer factory air suspension in their trucks. There are several aftermarket options available if you prefer.
Would like to see this gas comparison with 6.2 vs 6.6 in 3/4 ton.
I actually tried to do this comparison but the 6.2L was sold at the time 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork I often wonder why GM doesn’t use the 6.2 in HD as well and keep 6.6 for fleet? Strange. The numbers hp/tq are close but 6.2 gets better gas mileage. Perhaps with added weight it wouldn’t get what is does in 1/2 ton? Just a thought. I hv a 22 Denali HD gas and I love it. But the gas mileage needs work. It’s not a daily driver……thankfully. Bout 15 to the gallon
The 6.2L would get worse mileage because they would probably gear it differently, the raised height, and like you mentioned, the weight. I think the 6.6L would benefit from more gears 👍🏾
@@chadward6978 the 6.6 develops max HP & torque with 87 octane. 6.2 needs 93 octane to develop max HP & Torque.
Forced induction engines are great on the race track.wouldnt have one in a daily driver.dont see no advantages in making a small engine work harder to make big cubic inch horsepower.it puts a strain on everything in that engine.only matter of time b4 it goes boom.ill take little less fuel ecomy in a v8 over boosted 4 cylinder anytime.these ls motor are tried and true.simple to work on
I test drove the 5.3 and 2.7 back to back and preferred the 2.7 without any question
Interesting
Shot horizontally:)
You can only get mpg at the gas pump and do the math. Do that
Nice trucks.....
The 6.2 is scrap stick with early 5.3 it has more.reliability than any 6.2 American made.and the 10 speed will not hold up .
Ok Elmer
Why do u say the 10speeed won’t hold up? So in your opinion if I had 1500 4x4 and lifted it 12” with 37 tires what combo would be the best? My friend has a 8 speed 5.3 and says the transmission laggs he says get the 10speed. His is 12” lifted . Thank you
6.6
