I missed that. Working with engineers here and there, makes a lot of sense. Very cut and dry at times. Which to me, being honest is much appreciated, its half the battle in selling the truck.
bill willie, This is typical of an automotive engineer. Regardless of the brand, all of them act and talk this way because they prefer to remain behind the scene instead of being out front.
Lol you bounce around in a passenger seat on the same course for a few days.... probably with a hangover from the media parties and answer the same damn questions every journalist asks....lol
Typically, manufacturer/brand reps don't like it when they get asked the critical questions on a vehicle. And you're right - eyesore indeed. Roman exposed him when he asked why the shocks offered on the Colorado were not offered on this Silverado. And for the Chevy rep to say it wasn't his decision does make you wonder.
It’s pretty sweet that Chevy set this up. It’s nice to see this truck in action! I’m still not sold on the exterior design and don’t like the fact that you can’t get this trim with the 6.2. Another thing is at 8:22 Roman rightfully asked about other features not available (yet) and his response was to “..have room to grow in the future.” I’ve got a problem with that, give us your best now and just get better every year! That mentality might be part of the reason GM is not the sales leader. Anyways, awesome video guys! I’m excited to drive this truck myself!
Prime Autotainment Well its not like the competition are putting their best out right away. The 2019 Ram's engine old 5.7 they have been putting in the truck for nearly a decade now. Ford held back on the 10-speed and the high-output 3.5EB. Even now they're still holding back when you consider how much power the 3.5EB makes in a Ford GT.
snooplikesbacon thanks for sharing! I also saw an article saying that. The only thing is that includes all 4 trucks from GM, going up against the lone F-series from ford. I don’t mean to bash GM, I used to drive a Silverado, I just feel that they have the power and resources to produce something better than they do and sell it better too.
Prime Autotainment Well that number will continue to rise and it will be very competitive I think, with Ford bringing on the ranger will see some extra sales but i think where GM will see alot of growth is with the new medium duty segment (4500-6500) I'm not sure if those will be in the sales charts but I think the F-series gets counted up to F-550? So itll be interesting to see what happens.
snooplikesbacon that’s true about the f-series and I don’t know how high it goes either lol. I’m just happy that GM kept making the Colorado/Canyon while Ford/Ram dropped the midsize segment. I’m excited to see how things play out once the Ranger and 2019 Silverado is Here!
Exactly! Rough Country will sell you the spacer for $50. Rent a coil compressor set from auto zone and do it yourself with a friend. It's not that hard.
I don't understand why Chevy people on commercials and pretty much all their reps I've seen in videos seem to sound so smug. You would think that they would want to be more personable and engaging rather than appearing that they are above everybody.
Yeah I expected more from the trail boss package. Not sure what the price difference is from a regular z71 to the trail boss but I hope it's not that much. That course was weak for a 'boss'. I'll still test drive one but looks like Ford still gonna be the top truck
jchad_1017 Nothing wrong with plating things cool and calm. Want to see a Debbie Downer, go watch the interview Mr. Truck did with a Ford rep during part 2 of his test drive of a 2015 F-150.
Kind of disappointed that the 6.2l isn't a option on the Trail Boss....Granted it is a better truck all around than the last generation but they are still lagging behind on interior side compared to Ford or Ram.
Chevy trucks are built for REAL men who what a REAL truck. That fancy Ford with "luxury" shit so the soccer mom or stay-at-home dad can feel comfortable. How many Ford truck owners use their truck for truck stuff? You know hauling, towing, offroading. None of them. Thats how many.
I would argue better interior than ford but ram has them beat. Ram is lagging behind in engine power. The 5.7 is good but the 6.2 in this lighter truck will smoke it and it already did in the previous generation. The front end is just so ugly though. Have to wait and see it and the gm in person though.
My favorite trims for the new Silverado are the Custom and the Custom Trail-Boss. The way the grill looks give the two trucks an excellent off-road appearance with custom options.
I5ZQ8 yea my '17 work truck has it too and I love it! But I basically built my own trail boss. All I'm lacking is the hill decent and Rancho shocks. And I only have the v6.... it moves the truck just fine Tho!
Put it in first gear and low 4WD=hill decent. Just an FYI, Ranchos arent what they used to be. Look into Bilstein or if you can go with a Fox coilover.
I'm definitely a Ford guy,bit I really like this truck it's definitely off-road capable.Im impressed and the 5.3 is not a bad motor at all I've driven it before and it had decent power and good gas mileage.
This video is exactly why I passed on the trail boss and went with just a standard 4x4 Z71. Upgraded to fox shocks which gave me the 2 inch lift and ran Nitto trail grapplers. More off-road capable and a lot less money
That’s when they had huge mark up on the trail boss at the time I bought, and forsure the fox suspension blows the doors off those ranchos. Got older and bought myself a super duty to tow.
duggydo yea not all. The city slickers and soccer moms will never use low range (barely use 4x4 too) so it's pointless. Unless you are buying a work horse or a weekend warrior toy then you would get the z71 pkg and have the low range transfer case.... tho I hate that it's all going electronic. I prefer the old floor shifter.
Toribio Contreras Most modern halftons with 10 and 8 speed transmissions don't need a 2-range transfer case. Especially the suburban housewives driving their husbands new F-150 to Wal-Mart. 95% of modern half-tons will probably never engage 4LO intentionally. And the guys that do need 4LO would buy a Z71 anyways.
IT may not be all that crazy if they do something different. I think Ford in the Police Pursuit version of the F150 removed low range and added on the fly all wheel drive capability. Which makes a lot of sense because most people don't have the awareness to flip the switch when they are about to get stuck. so if they do some electronic "magic" maybe removing "Low" is not that crazy.... Its different...but not totally crazy. Besides Pickups are just luxury toy haulers these days.
If my next truck isn’t a Tundra this Silverado fits the bill, providing the Chevy dealers don’t abuse their sales with addendum stickers, Bad enough they all been cramming buyers with a $700.00 dollar charge for clerical processing on top of everything else! Great video, nice truck too!
Rudy-The-Cuban Gonzalez You need to find a better Chevy dealer. Mine never has addendums, never charges document fees, hands you the keys to a new truck with a full tank of gas and a bunch of free coffee mugs/bags/shirts/etc.
I'll be looking at the trailboss when I buy my next truck, simple and to the point, perfect daily driver with good off road capabilities and I have had no problems with my 15 Z71, bowtie till I die
I will wait to see it in person to give my opinion but if you listen to the GM designers over the recent years they will tell you they have been building vehicles with over the top designs on purpose. Seems like it started with the Transformer movies.
Didn't like the guy's attitude at first but would rather hear from a bored engineer without a ton of charisma than a sleezeball sales guy who is all talk and no knowledge.
chadly1337 His attitude was no different than every Ford engineer or rep riding along during an F-150 demo. And the Ram guys would rather talk about touchscreens and hammers. Toyota's Mike Sweers was busy claiming drum brakes were chosen because they're "better" for offroading and that customers don't care than the Tundra guzzles gas like a 3/4-ton yet has less payload and towing capacity than most competitor's half-tons. So yeah, not really an issue. Most people would have a bad attitude when asked tons of stupid questions all day and running the same demo course over and over again.
Have most men turned into women all i read on here is about the inside of the truck. Do you guys all buy your dresses from the same place. I have a 1993 gmc sierra 4x4 and I don't have a problem with that old ass intorirer.
Jeremy Sayers that’s because you have an old truck. If you were going to spend 50 grand on a new truck why spend the money on one with less power less capability and a worse place to sit. People will buy them but Chevy is lagging behind.
I agree. My 71cheyenne 4x4 interior is basic. No AC, bench seat and it rides like a buck board offroad. You know like real trucks do. its got a 300hp/400ftlbs vortec 5.7 and gets me everywhere I need to go loaded or unloaded at 12mpg. It also does it in style. Whats all the whining about? If you can afford one of these LUXURY rides you should NOT be complaining as your life is pretty darn good. Ill keep my man card.
So first, the Chevy guy seems like doesn't want to be there . Second, the Chevy course is week, my Mazda 3 can make it through there no problem. Can wait until Tlf takes it for a real off road test
Hopefully the fed gets the CAFE regs loosened a bit so a buyer can actually choose what they want instead of what the manufacturers are forced to sell. Driving impression embargo seems a bit chicken shit at this point, shouldn’t they be proud of the new design? GREAT JOB TFL as usual.
Just picked one up traded my 2017 jku in for it . Love my Jeep but just needed more room and more towing capacity I just drove it home from the dealership didn't get much Road time with it but about a 15-mile ride and very impressed the Dura track tires runs real smooth for how aggressive they look. Only thing I recommend Chevy doing is having a seat height adjuster in the non power seat the hood is extremely high and for short people it will be a real challenge to see the front over the front hood I'm 5-11 and I can just barely see tip of the front with the stocks seats I have to pick up one of those driving cushions LOL
Good job Boys! Love your work. New truck looks promising. It will be interesting to see if they do different things with these trucks in the coming years. Own a 2014 Silverado High Country at the moment and am watching with great interest at the development, unveiling, and roll out of the new trucks. Your my go too channel for everything trucks so keep it up Boys!
I know the current gen can't fit 35 without trimming the fenders.... But I was wondering why they wouldn't with a all new trail truck.... maybe it would involve too much of a change in the brakes and suspension plus the payload and towing numbers for the safety ratings to do it from the factory. But I would like to know too, And would have liked to see it.
I like how you semi nailed him on why there were features on the Colorado ZR2 versus the Trail Boss. I'm not surprised that GM/Chevy tries to segment features or accessories. I took the ZR2 as a huge body blow to the TRD Pro to get even more midsize buyers to give Chevy their business. I like my ZR2 and hopefully the sales remain steady so that the aftermarket gets going. BDS has a lift coming that will keep the DSSV shocks so I'm looking forward to that so I can buy some 35s
Spring perch is better than a hockey puck spacer on top of the front struts. The rear block is nothing new, the Raptor has a rear block also. The ride along guy didn’t act like he wanted to be there, he simply read a script and couldn’t elaborate on any more in depth questions.
I love chevy ive owned two in my short time of buying my own trucks but I know for a fact that a 2wd Truck with an A/T tire and a driver who knew what they were doing would spank this “track” not a fan of the new front end but great video guys keep it up!
Why is the engineer giving driving instructions, afraid Roman might something? I guess he's also saying if you want a front diff locker don't buy this truck, wait till that comes out. And a single speed transfer case now if you don't get a z71 package what bullshit. I'm really disappointed in GM especially with what these trucks cost. And hill start assist isn't new.
Yeah I think that's a bad coat cut for GM. And maybe it's just me but for what this truck cost it looks plain on the outside, more like a work truck with some stickers.
Kind of disappointed by interior design, the last 3 gens of Silverado haven’t been up to par with the competition. When you are spending luxury car money as most of these trucks are, it should be an upscale area to be, honestly its one the main reason why I switched to RAM (always been a Sierra and Silverado guy). All these trucks cost money and hopefully GM can back some good design language like they had in the late 90’s and early 2000...loved those Silverado interior and exterior
117 Vlog rams look pretty but wear terribly cuz of Wal-Mart grade materials in two years that truck will start showing like it's ten years old. Lol. Have fun. I've owned one and never again.
C Steele I guess they can wear I’ve had mine for 5 years now and 91k and my interior still looks new but I do have the Ram Sport which is an upgraded interior, it was really no different then my 2011 Sierra (lots of hard plastics in that truck). Interiors are very subjective so to each is own
the worst truck I ever owned was a new 77 power wagon. The best truck I ever owned is a 04 Dodge 1500, better in every way. Thinking of buying a new Ram
Loved the old body style RAM, not so crazy about the 2019, can’t help but think Tundra on the side view of the new Silverado, going to have to see it in person to make a call on her looks.
New body Ram is so incredibly boring. From the rear 3/4 view you can hardly tell its the new model. plus there is nothing under the hood that impresses either. As a truck Ram is a dud unless you really value big sunroofs and touch screen size.
Right. I was like yeah my 14 Sierra has that and hill decent. What gm needs to do is get off their asses and actually listen to customers. No 6.2 in this truck, barely changes to the 6.2 and no changes to the 5.3. New truck with same old heart.
R C Hmm... kind of like the 2019 Ram with a 10 year old 5.7 Hemi or the 2015 F-150's that had the same old 3.5EB and 5.0 Coyote as the 2011-2014 F-150's.
hochhaul yeah those engines have been up dated though haven't they. The 5.7 has a hybrid system, the 5.0has a big bump in hp and tq so does the EcoBoost. If you mind to actually read the comment I wrote instead of being keyboard happy, you would see I said "changes" not engine swap.
R C ram is the same way. Same transmission, same engine, and a fully redesigned frame and body. At least they are adding the option of the mild hybrid system
Thanks Roman for verifying the type of lift the Trail Boss has. Every review I've seen mentions suspension lift but I wanted to know specifically if was longer springs or spacers.
I think the hardware guy is undercover from Toyota Turd development team..he knows nothing about that truck. Put the Raptor through that course and show him what a real truck can do.
Cool video. No one, however, is wondering if this is a raptor fighter.... Anyone who knows anything about trucks knows that the raptor is in a class by itself at this point. This is more an F150 with FX4 package fighter haha.... certainly not a raptor fighter though!
Mitchell Mackenzie this is true. But don't think for one minute that Ford is just gonna hand the crown over to Ram. I'm 100% positive that Ford is aware of the TRX and has an ace up their sleeve.
Chevy if your not going to try just dont. The ram rebel interior blows this away, and the raptor blows this away. The front end is so bad looking. And dont get me wrong I'm a chevy guy but 2014-2018 looks so much better.
start-stop and cylinder deactivation are hard enough to trust for long term reliability on cars, but they don't belong on trucks at all. 4cyl 2.3L turbos on trucks are also bound to be less reliable. i wish trucks would stick to the basics and just do their jobs reliably.
I would advise anyone buying one of these trucks to check the engine shield under the truck. I bought a 2017 Silverado LTZ Z71. The brochure mentioned a skid plate for this and that. And having had a 2003 Silverado LS Z71, it had a metal plate under its engine. So I assumed the 2017 would have one too. No it didn't; the shield for the engine on the 2017 is plastic! So before you take this puppy in the weeds, check that shield!
Toribio Contreras haha, how, your getting a crappy lifted z71 with the meh 5.3. They have absolutely nothing to report new on the damn thing other than they made it longer(that’s a bad thing off road). All for 55,000 woohoo.
Lol.....Roman threw out that forbidden word to the GM engineer.....Aluminum. You can see it in his face that they are slowly eating their words about aluminum.
stellan597, What is military grade "steal" and when did "Gm" start advertising as such. Also, if you think the majority of the weight loss is because of the military grade "steal" that you said they`re now using, then you are sadly mistaken.
No, you couldn't be more wrong. They've had aluminum hoods for decades. It's haters like you refusing to eat your words as you all thought they were going with all aluminum trucks and they didn't
Roman was low key trying to say "This home field advantage course is wack sauce" he should have winked to the camera when the Chevy suit wasn't looking.
OMG I laughed so hard when you started talking about the Raptor and if the boss was a fighter, and when the Silverado came splashing around like "YA I'M COOL!!" just loomed over the Raptor in the background judging it Lol
How Does The New Silverado Compare to the New Ford F-150 and Ram 1500? Watch this video to find out: ruclips.net/video/BOK_dd58gI0/видео.html
The Fast Lane Truck what's with the low rear shock mounts?
Yeah, those low shock mounts are scary! :o
Within the Glass They help with aerodynamics
Total fail
Is it me or does the front remind you of a ford?
Chevrolet could have sent a more enthusiastic representative....maybe having a bad day
bill willie he’s an engineer which id rather hear from than a salesman. Although he said the hill assist was new which is incorrect. My 14 z71 has it.
I missed that. Working with engineers here and there, makes a lot of sense. Very cut and dry at times. Which to me, being honest is much appreciated, its half the battle in selling the truck.
bill willie, This is typical of an automotive engineer. Regardless of the brand, all of them act and talk this way because they prefer to remain behind the scene instead of being out front.
Lol you bounce around in a passenger seat on the same course for a few days.... probably with a hangover from the media parties and answer the same damn questions every journalist asks....lol
bill willie he’s having to pretend this an off road oriented truck when compared to Raptor, TRD Pro, Rebel, or Pro4x.
That Chevy guy was awkward. Props to Roman for working hard to get him to say anything lol
I was really surprised Roman stumped him with the downhill assist speed question.
Why Chevy?!
Seriously! That was not good that he didn't know.
I was about to day! That dude is very tough to talk to.
Thanks GM for leaving the column shifter. It allows proper storage in the center console.
EGGINFOOLS it is also what a real truck has too
88MS88 yea like the turbo 4 engine that Chevy now offers right?
redd7188 the turbo 4 makes more torque and power then some of chevys older v8s.
John Dessire yes, I like the engine. My point is options are great and the one size fits all interior nonsense with GM trucks needs to stop.
redd7188 why are we talking about engines. I said the shifter was good. 😂
I used to hate the styling but it's growing on me. In the past years I have liked the designs of the GMCs better than the Chevys.
yea, i have a 17’ sierra, and they look absolutely better than the silverados
Teddy's Lift World I wait until I see it in person
Teddy's Lift World yea I have A ‘14 Silverado which I love and didn’t like this design but the new ones growing on me
Too much grille with too many little holes. would look great on the barbie..
looks like an angrier modern GMT800. The predecessor looks like a modernised GMT400 or later square body.
The Chevy Rep has as much personality as the logs on the course. Eeyore...
Rooster lmao
"Bueller,...Bueller"
Typically, manufacturer/brand reps don't like it when they get asked the critical questions on a vehicle. And you're right - eyesore indeed. Roman exposed him when he asked why the shocks offered on the Colorado were not offered on this Silverado. And for the Chevy rep to say it wasn't his decision does make you wonder.
It's a nice truck, does what it's supposed to do. Some of y'all complain too much.
It’s pretty sweet that Chevy set this up. It’s nice to see this truck in action! I’m still not sold on the exterior design and don’t like the fact that you can’t get this trim with the 6.2.

Prime Autotainment I read last month that Chevy or GM has the most market share for trucks (as it topped out ford)
snooplikesbacon thanks for sharing! I also saw an article saying that. The only thing is that includes all 4 trucks from GM, going up against the lone F-series from ford. I don’t mean to bash GM, I used to drive a Silverado, I just feel that they have the power and resources to produce something better than they do and sell it better too.

Wow! A spacer lift is a part of the Trail Boss package?? LOL
Hiluxtaco what a joke. For the money Chevy is asking!!
Exactly! Rough Country will sell you the spacer for $50. Rent a coil compressor set from auto zone and do it yourself with a friend. It's not that hard.
I don't understand why Chevy people on commercials and pretty much all their reps I've seen in videos seem to sound so smug. You would think that they would want to be more personable and engaging rather than appearing that they are above everybody.
Ryan Torres cause they don’t want people to know they paid way to much money for a pussy truck that’s built like shit
Haha I agree! That guy seems like he doesn’t want to be there.
Evil One a pussy truck huh? That seems like a selling point
Yeah throw his ass in the mud
You are so correct, he acts like someone killed his dog. He needs schooled on motivation. Maybe he just hates what he is doing.
So the only difference between a trail boss and a regular silverado is tires, a spacer for extra height, tow hooks and stickers?
haha you can hear roman kind of laugh when has asked the rep that.
I believe he said the shocks were different as well
Yeah Ranch shocks lol. Great in the 90’s....
Yeah I expected more from the trail boss package. Not sure what the price difference is from a regular z71 to the trail boss but I hope it's not that much. That course was weak for a 'boss'. I'll still test drive one but looks like Ford still gonna be the top truck
About right for GM junk
Think Debbie downer Chevy guy should have been kicked out of the truck.
jchad_1017 Nothing wrong with plating things cool and calm. Want to see a Debbie Downer, go watch the interview Mr. Truck did with a Ford rep during part 2 of his test drive of a 2015 F-150.
Old Jeff says he has a great job but he doesn’t seem to like it that much!
Pajama Time it’s like pulling teeth with that guy
Damn, that guy sucked. Seems like Roman knew more than him!
Agreed. He warmed up a bit but still...he is aloof at best
Pajama Time -I thought so too. It's like he had 2 sticks up his butt. 🕳
It's like he was on vacation with two naked girls and someone called him in to cover his coworker calling out sick
Kind of disappointed that the 6.2l isn't a option on the Trail Boss....Granted it is a better truck all around than the last generation but they are still lagging behind on interior side compared to Ford or Ram.
Michael Smith ram got the best one
Darius Hope 🙂
Chevy trucks are built for REAL men who what a REAL truck. That fancy Ford with "luxury" shit so the soccer mom or stay-at-home dad can feel comfortable. How many Ford truck owners use their truck for truck stuff? You know hauling, towing, offroading. None of them. Thats how many.
I would argue better interior than ford but ram has them beat. Ram is lagging behind in engine power. The 5.7 is good but the 6.2 in this lighter truck will smoke it and it already did in the previous generation. The front end is just so ugly though. Have to wait and see it and the gm in person though.
What does ford got that have nice interior I look at 2014 and I looked at the 2018 it the Same there nothing different
First Chevy in years that I've found to have great styling.
Good looking truck! Great video!
When you get a Chevy ad in the beginning but it never ends
I love GM trucks, but it's hard to deny the 2019 Ram Rebel.
Same I've always been a GM fan but that ram rebel is definitely nicer looking to me.
The 2019 styling is actually growing on me! Seeing it like this kinda changes my mind about it. Can't wait to see one in person!
"We hit the segment we wanted with this truck" .. mall crawlers
Amandeep Singh exactly lol
Chevrolet Silverado TrailBoss Coming to a subdivision near you.
@@jaguarfacedman1365 stuck in the muck waiting for the G80 to lock..
Loved watching how that engineers tone/attitude changed. Looks like he was enjoying himself at the end there
So basically. Chevy will never take off roading serious in the full-size package.
My favorite trims for the new Silverado are the Custom and the Custom Trail-Boss. The way the grill looks give the two trucks an excellent off-road appearance with custom options.
That hill start assist is BS....they have had that since 2014....I had it on my 14 Z71 and my 16 All Terrain now.
I5ZQ8 yea my '17 work truck has it too and I love it! But I basically built my own trail boss. All I'm lacking is the hill decent and Rancho shocks. And I only have the v6.... it moves the truck just fine Tho!
My 2012 ram had hill start assist. So if that's a new feature, Chevy lagging behind like always
Put it in first gear and low 4WD=hill decent. Just an FYI, Ranchos arent what they used to be. Look into Bilstein or if you can go with a Fox coilover.
Stefan Schmidt yea low range works fine. And I plan to go bilstein once the stock shocks quit.
I've had hill start assist for 51 years, it is called my left foot.
I'm definitely a Ford guy,bit I really like this truck it's definitely off-road capable.Im impressed and the 5.3 is not a bad motor at all I've driven it before and it had decent power and good gas mileage.
No 6.2! It’s basically worthless, get a zl1 w/6.2 and put your own spacers and shocks on it
AntoineMJames that sir is the correct answer
Don't you mean z71? I don't think spacers will do well on a Camaro 😉
Ive had both the 5.3 and the 6.2, Ill never have another 5.3 again.
This video is exactly why I passed on the trail boss and went with just a standard 4x4 Z71. Upgraded to fox shocks which gave me the 2 inch lift and ran Nitto trail grapplers. More off-road capable and a lot less money
I doubt that
That’s when they had huge mark up on the trail boss at the time I bought, and forsure the fox suspension blows the doors off those ranchos. Got older and bought myself a super duty to tow.
2” spacer lift? Hold this L Chevy
Put on an aftermarket 2" leveling kit on any 1/2 ton for $600-$700. Trail Boss Decals for $40 (pick ur font and color).
Dean Sikorski try $150 for a RC 2.5 leveling kit
Man I am so excited to finally see this truck on the channel! Ya'll just made my day!
So they are selling 4x4’s without a low range? I’ll pass on that one.
duggydo yea not all. The city slickers and soccer moms will never use low range (barely use 4x4 too) so it's pointless. Unless you are buying a work horse or a weekend warrior toy then you would get the z71 pkg and have the low range transfer case.... tho I hate that it's all going electronic. I prefer the old floor shifter.
Well all pick use to have low range even the base wt that a ridiculous cost cut from chevy.
I have the 1500 gmc Sierra wt. And I specifically wanted the floor shifter. Lol
Toribio Contreras Most modern halftons with 10 and 8 speed transmissions don't need a 2-range transfer case. Especially the suburban housewives driving their husbands new F-150 to Wal-Mart. 95% of modern half-tons will probably never engage 4LO intentionally. And the guys that do need 4LO would buy a Z71 anyways.
IT may not be all that crazy if they do something different. I think Ford in the Police Pursuit version of the F150 removed low range and added on the fly all wheel drive capability.

Its different...but not totally crazy. Besides Pickups are just luxury toy haulers these days.
Yes its coming! Im so excited to see one of these in person!
Great reviews once again, keeping it dirty!!!
Glad to see Chevy provided Mr. Personality for your vehicle guide.
If my next truck isn’t a Tundra this Silverado fits the bill, providing the Chevy dealers don’t abuse their sales with addendum stickers, Bad enough they all been cramming buyers with a $700.00 dollar charge for clerical processing on top of everything else!
Great video, nice truck too!
Rudy-The-Cuban Gonzalez You need to find a better Chevy dealer. Mine never has addendums, never charges document fees, hands you the keys to a new truck with a full tank of gas and a bunch of free coffee mugs/bags/shirts/etc.
Stick with Tundra

Love the looks of this new chevy, especially the black front end with the black rims
I'd like to see the 2019s compared to 2018 with the same engines.
That’s a solid looking truck. I love the styling of it.
Sorry but 55K and no 6.2L option and it's like the "custom" not a high end trim level???.....yeshhhhhhh
I5ZQ8 55k and not even a bed liner either... very crazy IMO
singletrackftw It has a sprayed on bedliner.
I'll be looking at the trailboss when I buy my next truck, simple and to the point, perfect daily driver with good off road capabilities and I have had no problems with my 15 Z71, bowtie till I die
Don't like the front. The small lights and too busy styling.
It;s growing on me in black plastic and body color. Still not sure about the chrome versions.
Ridin' Green then add bigger tires numb nuts
I will wait to see it in person to give my opinion but if you listen to the GM designers over the recent years they will tell you they have been building vehicles with over the top designs on purpose. Seems like it started with the Transformer movies.
Agreed. Headlights are way too small for the front end.
Calm your tits people
They should bring back the like a rock commercials with the new Silverado’s
Didn't like the guy's attitude at first but would rather hear from a bored engineer without a ton of charisma than a sleezeball sales guy who is all talk and no knowledge.
chadly1337 Agreed, everyone is complaining about him but he seemed okay to me. The marketing guys always annoy me.
chadly1337 His attitude was no different than every Ford engineer or rep riding along during an F-150 demo. And the Ram guys would rather talk about touchscreens and hammers. Toyota's Mike Sweers was busy claiming drum brakes were chosen because they're "better" for offroading and that customers don't care than the Tundra guzzles gas like a 3/4-ton yet has less payload and towing capacity than most competitor's half-tons.
So yeah, not really an issue. Most people would have a bad attitude when asked tons of stupid questions all day and running the same demo course over and over again.
I love how the Raptor is in the background ;)
Have most men turned into women all i read on here is about the inside of the truck. Do you guys all buy your dresses from the same place. I have a 1993 gmc sierra 4x4 and I don't have a problem with that old ass intorirer.
Jeremy Sayers that’s because you have an old truck. If you were going to spend 50 grand on a new truck why spend the money on one with less power less capability and a worse place to sit. People will buy them but Chevy is lagging behind.
I agree. My 71cheyenne 4x4 interior is basic. No AC, bench seat and it rides like a buck board offroad. You know like real trucks do. its got a 300hp/400ftlbs vortec 5.7 and gets me everywhere I need to go loaded or unloaded at 12mpg. It also does it in style. Whats all the whining about? If you can afford one of these LUXURY rides you should NOT be complaining as your life is pretty darn good. Ill keep my man card.
What you have had, or having doesn’t mean it meets everyone’s standard. Yall are why we have stereotypes of big fat, low standard americans
Jeremy Sayers it has to do with the price. Give me a reason why I should pay 50k or more for a truck and the interior would be a good place to start.
Jeremy Sayers they just like to complain. Then u ask them what do u want to see and they have no answer. Bunch of women is right
This new style is definitely growing on me, can't wait for the New HD's to come out.
So first, the Chevy guy seems like doesn't want to be there . Second, the Chevy course is week, my Mazda 3 can make it through there no problem. Can wait until Tlf takes it for a real off road test
kaliman198117 I'd like to see your mazda 3 climb that lose rock Hill 😆
Northern Taco 😂😂
Northern Taco maybe not the rock hill
kaliman198117 now you're making sense. cliffhanger 2.0 will be a good test
You spelled weak as week. You sir have lost all credibility.
That guy was really chill
Hopefully the fed gets the CAFE regs loosened a bit so a buyer can actually choose what they want instead of what the manufacturers are forced to sell. Driving impression embargo seems a bit chicken shit at this point, shouldn’t they be proud of the new design? GREAT JOB TFL as usual.
Old Scratch You sure about that? Everything I have seen says it's only available with the 5.3
Your correct...web page layout got me.
That red trail boss is eye popping. Very nice!
My 2010 tacoma TRD off-road D-4D diesel could easily make that in 4hi!!! 😊👍
Solid truck! Can't wait to see the upcoming tests! Good job TFL!
Is it me or do virtually all these ride along engineers have zero personality?
I'd be all for the Silverado having both front and rear locking diffs!
After a few drinks, Jeff tears up the trails. Then he will steal your girlfriend
Exactly!
Just picked one up traded my 2017 jku in for it . Love my Jeep but just needed more room and more towing capacity I just drove it home from the dealership didn't get much Road time with it but about a 15-mile ride and very impressed the Dura track tires runs real smooth for how aggressive they look. Only thing I recommend Chevy doing is having a seat height adjuster in the non power seat the hood is extremely high and for short people it will be a real challenge to see the front over the front hood I'm 5-11 and I can just barely see tip of the front with the stocks seats I have to pick up one of those driving cushions LOL
8:09, rear strut attachment point is poory designed, takes away all of your ground clearance
Turbo Everything rear strut
Took me a minute😂
Good job Boys! Love your work. New truck looks promising. It will be interesting to see if they do different things with these trucks in the coming years. Own a 2014 Silverado High Country at the moment and am watching with great interest at the development, unveiling, and roll out of the new trucks. Your my go too channel for everything trucks so keep it up Boys!
Nice looking truck and great video guys! but I think I’ll keep my F150 thank you.
finally an offroad test course that looks legit
No 6.2 offered for the Trail Boss...BOOOOOOOO!!!!! COME ON CHEVY!
Curtis Reid same thing im thinking. Wake up chevy!!!
Curtis Reid like you would ever buy it lol don't complain about something you can't afford
I'm a ford guy but damn is that new Silverado looking good. Love that new grill.
Why don't they at least put 35" on them from the factory.
I know the current gen can't fit 35 without trimming the fenders.... But I was wondering why they wouldn't with a all new trail truck.... maybe it would involve too much of a change in the brakes and suspension plus the payload and towing numbers for the safety ratings to do it from the factory. But I would like to know too, And would have liked to see it.
Because if they did that you’d be asking for 44’s LOL it’s never enough
zimks you got a point...lol
davkenrem becouse you have to pay 60,000 for the truck then by a lift and tires
All you guys are right. Lol
I like how you semi nailed him on why there were features on the Colorado ZR2 versus the Trail Boss. I'm not surprised that GM/Chevy tries to segment features or accessories. I took the ZR2 as a huge body blow to the TRD Pro to get even more midsize buyers to give Chevy their business. I like my ZR2 and hopefully the sales remain steady so that the aftermarket gets going. BDS has a lift coming that will keep the DSSV shocks so I'm looking forward to that so I can buy some 35s
Spring perch is better than a hockey puck spacer on top of the front struts.
The rear block is nothing new, the Raptor has a rear block also.
The ride along guy didn’t act like he wanted to be there, he simply read a script and couldn’t elaborate on any more in depth questions.
Lol at 1:03 there's the Raptor lurking in the background! 😂 Still the king of off road factory made trucks.
There's a raptor waiting to save the day when the Chevy gets stuck 😂😂🤣
And who's going to tow the Ford when it breaks down? Another Chevy.
Yeah! the raptor guy is waiting for the chevy to tow it back to the dealer.
I love chevy ive owned two in my short time of buying my own trucks but I know for a fact that a 2wd Truck with an A/T tire and a driver who knew what they were doing would spank this “track” not a fan of the new front end but great video guys keep it up!
Why is the engineer giving driving instructions, afraid Roman might something? I guess he's also saying if you want a front diff locker don't buy this truck, wait till that comes out. And a single speed transfer case now if you don't get a z71 package what bullshit. I'm really disappointed in GM especially with what these trucks cost. And hill start assist isn't new.
Kenneth Hughes More like helping Roman drive a truck off-road. Roman is light on off-roading IQ.
Yeah I think that's a bad coat cut for GM. And maybe it's just me but for what this truck cost it looks plain on the outside, more like a work truck with some stickers.
I like how they put the raptor in the backround of the first shot XD
Kind of disappointed by interior design, the last 3 gens of Silverado haven’t been up to par with the competition. When you are spending luxury car money as most of these trucks are, it should be an upscale area to be, honestly its one the main reason why I switched to RAM (always been a Sierra and Silverado guy). All these trucks cost money and hopefully GM can back some good design language like they had in the late 90’s and early 2000...loved those Silverado interior and exterior
117 Vlog rams look pretty but wear terribly cuz of Wal-Mart grade materials in two years that truck will start showing like it's ten years old. Lol. Have fun. I've owned one and never again.
C Steele I guess they can wear I’ve had mine for 5 years now and 91k and my interior still looks new but I do have the Ram Sport which is an upgraded interior, it was really no different then my 2011 Sierra (lots of hard plastics in that truck). Interiors are very subjective so to each is own
I am interested to hear Chevy say they are looking to do more with the truck. If they do it right I may consider getting a new Silverado.
I’d rather have the old school power wagon
the worst truck I ever owned was a new 77 power wagon. The best truck I ever owned is a 04 Dodge 1500, better in every way. Thinking of buying a new Ram
Loved the old body style RAM, not so crazy about the 2019, can’t help but think Tundra on the side view of the new Silverado, going to have to see it in person to make a call on her looks.
New body Ram is so incredibly boring. From the rear 3/4 view you can hardly tell its the new model. plus there is nothing under the hood that impresses either. As a truck Ram is a dud unless you really value big sunroofs and touch screen size.
My 2014 has hill assist how is that a new feature
wkeil1981 I was going to say the same thing. My 2017 has it too.
Right. I was like yeah my 14 Sierra has that and hill decent. What gm needs to do is get off their asses and actually listen to customers. No 6.2 in this truck, barely changes to the 6.2 and no changes to the 5.3. New truck with same old heart.
R C Hmm... kind of like the 2019 Ram with a 10 year old 5.7 Hemi or the 2015 F-150's that had the same old 3.5EB and 5.0 Coyote as the 2011-2014 F-150's.
hochhaul yeah those engines have been up dated though haven't they. The 5.7 has a hybrid system, the 5.0has a big bump in hp and tq so does the EcoBoost. If you mind to actually read the comment I wrote instead of being keyboard happy, you would see I said "changes" not engine swap.
R C ram is the same way. Same transmission, same engine, and a fully redesigned frame and body. At least they are adding the option of the mild hybrid system
Thanks Roman for verifying the type of lift the Trail Boss has. Every review I've seen mentions suspension lift but I wanted to know specifically if was longer springs or spacers.
I think the hardware guy is undercover from Toyota Turd development team..he knows nothing about that truck. Put the Raptor through that course and show him what a real truck can do.
Every time I see this truck...😍
Cant wait to see the GMC AT4! Hopefully you get to try that truck soon!
Cool video. No one, however, is wondering if this is a raptor fighter.... Anyone who knows anything about trucks knows that the raptor is in a class by itself at this point. This is more an F150 with FX4 package fighter haha.... certainly not a raptor fighter though!
Pajama Time The Raptor is more of a street racer anyway.
At this point we are waiting on the ram rebel trx with the hellcat engine for a real raptor fighter
Mitchell Mackenzie this is true. But don't think for one minute that Ford is just gonna hand the crown over to Ram. I'm 100% positive that Ford is aware of the TRX and has an ace up their sleeve.
Rick Tatorship yea I hear the all new 2021 F-150 is going to be like nothing we have seen before.
Reginald Foster I just hope they will still offer a V8 in the standard F150.
Been waiting for this video forever! Great video
Chevy if your not going to try just dont. The ram rebel interior blows this away, and the raptor blows this away. The front end is so bad looking. And dont get me wrong I'm a chevy guy but 2014-2018 looks so much better.
larry Spiller you're on crack, the rebels interior is uglier than sin. Straight out of a middle schools boys matchbox set
Rams in general have a far better interior, more luxury and more technology.
D Jay T Respect your opinion but have you see a Rebels interior in person?
I just seen these new chevys in person way nicer the videos
That's the comment I was looking for👌
Love the Ford Raptor shot at 1:01 😁😁
Ya not on the trail just sitting in the back great
The Raptor is laughing at this sissy course
leeleelee ikr😂😂😂
They probably had it there in case they needed to pull any Chevy's off the course
Totally agree!!
The Raptor can't even beat a ZR2
Raptors the best!
I love everything about this truck!!!!
That's a cute little testing ground..... Leave it to Chevy to just scratch the surface
start-stop and cylinder deactivation are hard enough to trust for long term reliability on cars, but they don't belong on trucks at all. 4cyl 2.3L turbos on trucks are also bound to be less reliable. i wish trucks would stick to the basics and just do their jobs reliably.
Spacer lift? LOL
I would advise anyone buying one of these trucks to check the engine shield under the truck. I bought a 2017 Silverado LTZ Z71. The brochure mentioned a skid plate for this and that. And having had a 2003 Silverado LS Z71, it had a metal plate under its engine. So I assumed the 2017 would have one too. No it didn't; the shield for the engine on the 2017 is plastic! So before you take this puppy in the weeds, check that shield!
Sorry Ram Rebel please 😕😔 !
HahasoNotorious 327 😐
Lol yep
I've driven the Ram Rebel and it felt cheap. Won't ever buy one.
All of these guys ragging on the Ram haven't been in a 2019.😅
Toribio Contreras haha, how, your getting a crappy lifted z71 with the meh 5.3. They have absolutely nothing to report new on the damn thing other than they made it longer(that’s a bad thing off road). All for 55,000 woohoo.
I saw one in person at local dealer, looks better in person for sure
Lol.....Roman threw out that forbidden word to the GM engineer.....Aluminum. You can see it in his face that they are slowly eating their words about aluminum.
Not at all. Chevy's issues with aluminum was only its use for the floor of the truck bed.
niyr and they said it would dent easier and be more expensive to repair and made the impression you wanted a steel tank
CDP Gm uses military grade steal for the majority of their weight loss.
stellan597, What is military grade "steal" and when did "Gm" start advertising as such. Also, if you think the majority of the weight loss is because of the military grade "steal" that you said they`re now using, then you are sadly mistaken.
No, you couldn't be more wrong. They've had aluminum hoods for decades. It's haters like you refusing to eat your words as you all thought they were going with all aluminum trucks and they didn't
I really enjoyed this review. Very nice truck.
Exterior appearance is not acceptable compared to the appearance of GMC sierra and Ford F150 💯
Awad Al Faqeeh I agree
GMC-tries to be tough but soft as a baby
I want this truck!!!!!
Man that thing is ugly,I'll stick with my older chevys
Aaron Headley me too bud
Roman was low key trying to say "This home field advantage course is wack sauce" he should have winked to the camera when the Chevy suit wasn't looking.
OMG I laughed so hard when you started talking about the Raptor and if the boss was a fighter, and when the Silverado came splashing around like "YA I'M COOL!!" just loomed over the Raptor in the background judging it Lol
Nah I’ll pass, you yanks are going backwards with the trucks
Free Dirt I like all of the previous models. The new looks are shit I reckon. Dream truck is previous model ram with the aisin
Wow what a Great video. Can't wait to see how it does on Cliffhanger 2.0. Also waiting to see its Brother the GMC AT4.
Total new innovations on the ALL NEW cheby silverado? =zero
nathan still better than a found on road dead or dont overdrive gutless engine.
What?... Ford is crushing the competition in pretty much every aspect of full size trucks right now. And im a chevy guy
I have the 15 Silverado, those tow hooks look nice! They didn’t put em in mine and it cost me a front bumper ! At least I have an off road one now 😂
