Not sure how i could have made it more clear in the video that i love this truck. Quit complaining in the comment section about me "complaining". This is a popular series on RUclips. I made the video because i knew it would get views.
This body style is so much better looking than the 2019 model
Chris John Michael The one before this one is my favorite. That looks like a beefy truck. This? Looks sorta like a fan-made concept. The new one is way out there. It's slowly growing on me but it's strange lol... It's definitely not a loved design. No clue if they did any sort of sample groups to see how the design would be received. I mean comments like yours are all over and they're always the highest upvoted. It's a really strange design. I have no clue what they're thinking. Glad I got my Colorado before they decide to completely change that too...
2019 looks like a tundra how gay
Chris John Michael 2007-2013 was the best looking Silverado
Chris John Michael yess I agree
Chris John Michael yes sir
I was T bone in my 2018 Silverado by a guy going at least 60 mph at my driver door. Truck totaled and we all walked out with out a scratch. 5 Star safety for that one.
I agree the cylinder deactivation should be an option switch for the buyer.

Things I hate about my 2018 Z71
Loses traction on all the Ford and dodge drivers tears
Has trouble hauling all the panties in the bed, I accumulate from all the chicks I get
People think I'm famous when I'm seen driving it and get mobbed by paparazzi
Chevy made the 2019 wheel wells round, now everybody is crying that it looks like a ford.
Curtis Reid it looks like a Toyota tundra, ugly
Better than a DODGE!
ford didn't invent the round wells.
enjoy your ford then
good for you buddy.
My 2016 GMC was just totalled. It was an SLT and loaded including the 6.2. It was a hoss and easily stayed in V-4 mode quite a bit! It actually got 22 mpg hwy before the 35s and the lift. Once you have the 6.2, you'll throw rocks at the 5.3!
I just got my 2018 Silverado in January and was thoroughly surprised when I couldn't tell the difference between V4 or going back to V8. Absolutely, a seamless switch. No sound difference, no jerk nothing to tell there was a change up or down.
There is when you have a exhaust
I fully agree, and if they make a box to keep it in V8 mode, can we just keep it in V4 mode, And lack power until we really need it, because the 17 1/2 miles per gallon really sucks
Aldo _ Why is it Chevy’s fault that you put an exhaust on your truck
@@rogernelson67 its not but Im saying with exhaust you can easily tell the difference
It's impossible not to notice with or without a stupid loud exhaust like this kid has. Was very noticable in my 2015, thought they would have fine tuned it in my new 2018. I was wrong.
Back windows are that way for child safety
rcfreak363 cool, I don't know much about German cars, but also a lot of American cars with back doors have a lockout feature, which if you activate, will not let you open the back door from the inside. Another child safety setup
How many small children do you know that drive ? I'm pretty sure hes just referring to the driver's door panel switch..
Would be very simple for the "auto-up" to deactivate when the child window lock is engaged.
For me personally, I would like it if the Child Safety window restraint lock system went on all four Windows, the only reason why I say that is I have a dog that knows how to roll down the windows using that button. she does that all the time in the front while I'm driving in the rain. My Mazda CX-7 locks all four windows it makes me happy. Another simple fix and programming on Chevy part
Have a 2017 High Country 1500 4x4 Crew Cab
Things I love- 6.2L, Tri-coat White, Saddle leather interior
Things I hate- NO REAR HEAT(vents/seat warmers), NO BLIND SPOT WARNING IN THE MIRRORS, NO OPTION FOR A FULL BENCH FRONT SEAT!
Same. Why would they leave the rear with no cool/heat vents? blows my mind. They have that tiny ass blind spot mirror on the driver side that works meh, ok I guess. and I was hoping to find a full bench front seat as well but no luck. The charger that it comes with charger super slow and I have to take my phone out of the case for it to work.
Yeah idk why they stopped putting rear vents in these trucks. They stopped that in 2006. With f150s you get rear vents and heated/cooled seats on some options.
RJ Castodio buy a Denali
Denali doesn't have that either.
RJ Castodio i love that middle seat that goes up. If you know what I mean
I totally agree with those three. I ended up doing tunes because I was also unhappy with AFM. Diablew tune disabled that and changed shift points so it wasn’t falling on its face. With high flow cats and full exhaust and my SB intake along with the tune my mags went up to almost 25 freeway
The power windows not going up automatically is a safety feature. If someone was in backseat and has arm in window or hand and you had auto up on your controls what do you think the end result could be?
Well you wrong they should add it because it is convenient and plus they finger and arm jam protection were they can’t smash there fingers or arm because if the sensors detect that there is a arm or a finger blocking the window it will stop so it won’t break there fingers or arm
I just wish the passenger one was auto up as well lol. Annoying to have left one go up on its own but gotta keep holding the right haha
Damn right !!! We are truly in love with ours too bro!!! We just bought the 2018 Z71 5.3 and omg it’s our dream truck, plus ours was already lifted 6” and had 35x12.5 on her already so we where absolutely amazed
Saw your low pro "mud tires" immediately disregarded your opinion.
same here people need to understand how engines work or keep their opinions to themselves. my silverado is stock and the 4v mode is awesome saves alot of fuel and you never know when its in v4 or v8 mode.
Then I heard the exhaust... And started to hate him.
5093329225 some people need to understand how AFM works in GM vehicles and how down the road they burn excessive oil, foul plugs, and lifter problems
Man I was just about to say the same damn thing!
LOL so Zachary from the little house on the prairie has jokes haha
Thanks for making this video! I just ordered me a range technology AFM disabler, express! You saved my truck's warranty, was about to get a Diablo tuner like I used for my old Charger. Thanks again!
If you are looking to "disable" the active fuel management system try shifting the truck in the your LOAD gear's, Use the +/- toggle on the shifter and select how many gears you would like the transmission to cycle through. This will not only solve your "problem" but it will also save the hundred of dollars you wasted on that plug in.
Id rather just use the range. Works perfect and i dont have to do anything every time i drive.
This only works if you keep it in manual 5. And at least in my 2015 would confuse the crap out of the trans and it would take off in second a lot
LOVE the square wheels. That's why I just bought one yesterday before they switch over.
Damn good looking truck bro! I just picked up one this past Monday but in Red Hot color.
The square tops on the fender wells are not a restriction on tire size. The reason your tires rub is because of the rim off set you are running. I run 33x12.5-22 Toyo Open country MT on factory rims on my 2018 with 2.5 leveling kit no rubbing at all. Love this body style . This year model is selling for as much or more than the new body style used with similar miles and condition.
I have a 16 and you said everything I thought youd say lol
I agree! The AFM should be an option not a standard equipment on all vehicles especially SUVs and Trucks.
I think there should be a switch to just enable/disable it, it would just be overly complicated to have it as an option at the dealership
You know society is FAILING when a young kids has a $50,000 truck, and he is making a video of things that suck on it. REALLY!!!! My first vehicle was an orange 1977 Buick Le Sabre, ugliest thing on wheels and I was grateful to just have a vehicle, even if it was a p.o.s.
The vein and shallow vanity I see in many RUclips vids is unsettling. Generation (spoiled). That's all.
Truth 2share dumbass
PrideOfChamps
Good one!
You are so right. My first car at the time was a really old 71 nova that had the trunk smashed in from an accident. It had two towing lights fixed to the trunk lid and a bungee chord holding the trunk closed. It literally caught fire while i was fueling at a gas station. I pushed it off to the side and left it there. I was 18 and would been happy just to have a reliable car that didnt catch fire
#Workforit
Well I'm 41, and just got my first new vehicle. It's a 2018 Silverado crew cab. The same as this one. And I have to say. Thanks think his video makes sense. Yeah he is young. But his video was a good one.
I have a 2018 and you absolutely cannot tell when it goes between v4 and v8. The only thing you notice is the instantaneous MPG's says like 35-40 on the highway. Truck is amazing.
This body stile is the best it's ever been, with square fender opening
I've a 2018 6.2. I never touch the back windows so that's not a problem. Stock 20" rims and tires, no problems. AFM... with my intake, exhaust upgrades, upgraded throttle body and added SuperChip, I'm pushing 500HP with noticeable improvement on the transmission shifting while getting 21.7 MPG on the freeway if I keep it under 80mph.. The chip made all the difference in the transmission shifting, it also eliminated the governor which was my biggest complaint. Awesome truck.
I’ll gladly take it off your hands bro
30 years in Land Surveying Silverado’s have been the backbone of our fleet. Overall they have been fine.... they sit lower stock than the D and F. We like that because we work out of the side of canopies to access our equipment and goodies.
When got the 2014 I loved the refresh. We kind of abused it letting it idle on the sides of roadways while surveying and I know the oil changes were not done religiously by that crew. So that one ended up having issues with the torque converter and it shifted from 8 to 4 with a thud. That one is now gone.
We got two 2017 ‘s with the new look front end and the LED lighting and they have been good.
We got a 2019 Trailboss that I drive for my crew truck and so far she has been good.... tailgate has no handle, and is thin! Looks like a Tundra but we get lots of compliments from contractors, Customs Officers, kids lol
We just got a 2021 Trailboss, just like my 2019.... look like twins except the new one has buckets, console, and heated seats..... too new to comment on.
My personal rig is a stock 2015 Silverado Z71 LTZ and I absolute fucking love it! I have had a couple minor recalls that were computer related and and exhaust gasket leak underneath the cab that made a whistle on acceleration. Mine is black and the paint scratches easily so I have my own mitt for washing and never use a car wash scrubber on it. I only have 46k on mine and zero issues so far... it is always garaged unless out on camping and fishing trips. I tow small lake boats and custom fly fishing boats on top with 3 Yakima racks. Dented my roof with the cab rack.. too much muscle lol so be careful! I camp out of mine like a camper.... coolers, fishing gear, tents, pop ups, rods, tools, trolling batteries and motors, water jugs, gas cans.... etc lots of room for me. I have a Snugtop Aero Canopy on it... looks like a Tahoe lol!
Cheers
What kind and size of wheel and tire combo is that? what offset? Nice video, hate the cylinder cutout on mine
“For an extra $5k you can have automatic windows to go up and down on there own” 😂
The fuel deactivation is that on all gm trucks. I just got a new Tahoe and I felt what your saying. My old 02 Tahoe don’t feel like that. Oh the windows it’s a safety issue. If they are auto in the back and let’s say you have a small child playing around sticks his head out the window and you auto up. See where I’m going with this. Anyways good video. 👍🏻
What you say makes sense... however my Toyota Highlander Limited AWD SUV has Auto Up/Down windows on all four windows.... love it. Perhaps they have some sort of sensor that will reverse the windows down if they encounter resistance (of say a hand or head)...... much like a garage door does?? Never tried it.
tgilldesign hey forgot to say truck looks beast. And how is that deactivation working out. I want to get that. Where did you get it and is it easy to install?? Oh and I do get the point of the windows. The reason I said that about the rear windows. My pops when I was about ten. I was helping him back his Buick into a parking spot. I’m 40 now so it’s been a while. Anyways. I stuck my head out the back window to tell him keep going. At the same time my mom starting busting his balls about backing up into the spot. So when he parked ,he started to put up the back windows. I still had my head sticking out. So I was being choked. People in the parking lot ran to tell my pops you killing your kid you asshole. Anyways. Me and my dad we laugh about that now. But he felt so bad when it happen. Just thought I share the story.
Dumbass why would your kid not be in a seatbelt, you see where I’m going with this, Toyota has auto up and down on all four windows and it’s a 2010, the only thing I hate about my 2017 Chevy Silverado is that there’s a fucking key, can we get rid of the fucking key already!
@@tgilldesign In us if the window has a one touch up power option, it has to have a sensor that will reverse the window if it feels resistance.
I'd hate the payments. Just can't justify paying $1k per month for a truck
2017 deep ocean blue z71, 3,000 miles. Paint chips, paint chips & paint chips. Absolutely hate the paint on these new trucks. The window thing you mentioned is a minor nuisance too.. Would like to deactivate the v4 mode, but I'll wait to see if there are any issues with it first. Hate how the truck just wont get up & go/feels like the trans is slipping & the whole truck just feels like it's chugging.
R MH honestly i think chevys have a bad ass exterior but the interior ruins it for me and thats mainly why i bought my ford
Dude I have the exact same truck as you I didn't know if I was being to rough with it or not but my truck looks like it was attacked by a mountain lion I have huge scratches from things as simple as closing my door with my keys in my hand and it scratching 3 inches up my door and it's literally peeling or by the door handle I sold that thing and i'll most likely never get a new truck again.
Nathan Collins pretty much how I feel about my 17 Sierra. I tuned it with a Diablo and it's world's better, but I shouldn't have to spend $400 and void warranty to make it drive half decently. It also dents so fucking easy it ridiculous.
nyxzus i hace a summit white 2018 with a 6inch lift 35’s and I don’t like the rocky ridge fender flares and paint chips on the fenders rip wide tires kill paint
I have the 2017 silverado ltz z71 midnight and absolutely hate this truck. 5.3 / 8 speed is just junk. This thing is slower than my old 2009 silverado. Got 15k kms / 8k mi on it and i am trading it for a f150 lariat 5.0. Ford is killing it in the truck game and GM is about to lose another lifetime loyal customer.
I have a 2015 I hated it the AFM made the trans and rear end feel like a 300,000 mile truck with bad u-joints. I installed a Super Chips Tuner set it to the performance tow and turned off the active fuel management and now it runs and feels like a beast. They say it would void the warranty but driving a truck I love was worth the risk
I hear you there. i'm very happy with the truck with the range installed. Feels like it should. Pretty sad chevy in 2018 still hasn't ironed it out.
It is your engine mounts causing that.
AFM is to meet federally mandated CAFE standards.
Ethan A Mmmm, I'll take a medium latte.
I would rather pay a "gas guzzler" tax, like you would on a Mustang Shelby.
Nice truck. Just wanted to mention that the lack of auto roll up on the passenger and rear windows is a safety feature. Yes, they could easily put it in, but they chose not to, because if your kid of passenger has their hands or arm out the window and you hit the roll up, it will close on them. I’m pretty sure that’s why they put it in, so people don’t go auto-rolling up the windows on the kid with their hand out the window in the back seat.
I've been wondering why the paint chips so easy on my 2018 z71 lt black
Joshua Hoover it comes with a five year warranty
I have the exact same problem. I dont think it is covered by warranty...
My 16 has the same chips. Chevy has never been good with paint.
Check to see of it was made in Mexico instead of the states.. if it was in Mexico its gonna suck
Sean Cantlon where can you find that at?
The ecotec variable v4-V8 transmissions is awesome and you don’t notice a difference at all. No “Slipping” as you say
Very minor complaint, but the door handles inside the truck feel like the cheapest, hollow, piece of PLASTIC you could find to use. Because they are... I don't understand why they would put a 5 cent part in such a fabulous truck?? I feel like it would be very easy to snap off, and I am reminded of this every time I get out of my new truck.
agree., at least its limited to the door handles. ... look at the Ford interior, and that same cheap plastic is all over.
This reminds me of when GM swapped out the cables on the tailgates from stainless steel to galvanized steel. The galvanized ones were breaking due to corrosion, so they had a recall and replaced them back to stainless steel. I wonder how much the modification saved them?
the reason the windows don’t go up automatically in the back is probably a safety feature so kids don’t get their fingers in there or something
I have a 2017 love the truck, HATE that I cannot dim my infotainment screen separately from also dimming my gauges...
I don’t know of a single vehicle that has separate dimming controls for the stereo and the gauge cluster.
The non-automatic passenger windows seems like a safety feature so you can't crush a passengers arm or a dogs head that's out the window since you are likely not looking behind you as you raise the window.
for the millionth time there is tons of manufacturers that have all windows go up. They have built in safety features that auto roll them back down if any resistance is met.
Check your window seals, my truck has a thousand miles on it and rain leaks in like a sieve. I have read that this is normal that is why they have the drain holes in the bottom of the doors. I think that is an unacceptable point of view. 2018 Silverado 1500 crew cab short bed. I have also found the paint job on the inside of the door jams to be inferior, big paint bubbles. I love my truck but I find that there are several quality issues. Maybe that is why you can get a brand new 18 Silverado crew cab all star with a 14,000 dollar discount off of Msrp.
kingof1964 pinstripe a thin 1/8 thickness tape on Chrome on the edge of door opening so water beads around it.😁
That's what the warranty is for.
I have a 14 LTZ Z71 6.2 and recently while it was having work done I was driving a loner 2019 RST Z71 5.3 and it was terrible in drive. Set it to L7 and it was really nice.
Garbage towing though. Just had my 6x12 PJ with a wheeler and 2 cooler on it woth my hunting gear in the truck box and it was squatting bad and towed that light load mediocrely. I was exceptionally disappointed.
I'm okay with the 18's but prefer the 14/15 look by far
I'm wondering if the LT LDs have better towing capacity. I'm looking hard at both
@@carlpatten8768 I think 2014 is the last year you could get a factory 3.73 gear so even if the tow rating is just as good or better on the newer trucks I think the real world performance will be about the same as the 15-18's is not a tad worse for now.
Fuel economy has to much of an effect on new trucks.
What about the jumpy transmission? Especially on a cold start....
Agree. Sometimes mine does, causing me to spill coffee
Just bought mine last summer and had the tranny redone last month...still banging from first to second when cold. They replaced all clutches, plates, and torque converter. Fuuuuuck! Lol
Dude is smart by disabling the cylinder deactivation...save his lifters. Dodge figured out how to do it without damaging engine. GM hasn't
i just bought a new silverado z71 1500 i love the truck but hate the amount of paint chips i have already! i have 2000klm and it looks like swiss cheese!
Stop tailgating
In Ca, it is illegal to use the active fuel management disabled. It is considered a smog defeat device. With that said I bought one because of my dislike the jerky jerky shifting back and forth. I agree works great. I put it back in for long freeway drives.
Another thing I don’t like about my Silverado is the front bumper. The factory paint is absolute garbage. Only 7k miles and there is so much rock chips
You're dumb i can tell
I work at a GM dealership. A lot of guys that drive this year model silverados swap over the switchs/assembly from the drivers window switch onto the other three so all four role up automatically. First world problems lol
Video on how you afford the truck and stang?
Hank Hill save all your pennies !
Erick_Chavira ive saved 2 pennies so far
T Wayland there you go you are on the right path ,I’m 4 pennies up

Gary Droz still need a down payment
I own a 2015 1500 LT full bed dbl cab. 9 yrs in the northeast, not garaged, 35k miles. V6. Never stuck. Not a single issue to date.
I have a 2017 Sierra and the fucking glasses holder has to be my biggest pet peeve. You cannot fit anything in it
lol i dont think ive even tried mine, ill have to check it out.
I keep a spare $20 bill there in case I get into a jam.
Just bought a 2018 Silverado two days ago and the glasses holder is terrible. Even my smallest frame sunglasses don't fit in the damn thing.
I have a 2005 Silverado Crew cab 253,000 miles. My back passenger half door is rusted shut. My gas cap doesn’t even have a holder. My child lock flips out 60% of the time on the driver side door when I open it. I’ve had to service this vehicle many times the only complaint I have is the power steering lines are shit. By far the best truck I have ever had.
1- it’s a Chevy
2- it’s not a Ford
3- it sounds like Exhaust leak
4- the price like buying a small house
5- warranty should be like ..7year 100,000 standard minimum for what you pay
You're buying one tiny house for what i paid lol
Lol ford is crap. All that power for nothing.
Like buying a small house? Maybe a single wide trailer.. I'm seeing these trucks local, lifted with 33" tires, with
The windows not having an auto-up is actually a saftey feature. Sensors would have to be added to the rear windows to keep people or animals from being caught in the window.
Almost every programmer has the ability to deactivate the AFM .... I have the hyper tech 2.0 and turned it off and my mileage actually went up
wjoldham do u like your hyper tech im thinking about getting a tunner for a little power , turn v4 off and , mpg increase i have a 5.3l
Southern hunting and shooting channel kinard the hyper tech is ok.... the thing I like most about it is being able to mess with my shift points...you can’t even feel it shift under hard acceleration....and as long as I drive responsibly and keep my foot out of it I get 18-21 on the highway with 35s
A.P.561 I think it was 250 ish....I got the hyper tech 2.0
Warranty voided with it programmed out tho
Send me the rim manufacturers size. I want those on my truck.
Nice truck but you really need to do something about the mic. You can barely hear anything. That goes for all your vids. By the way what offset do you have?
I don't think its all my videos but it i can tell the volume changes when using my iPhone. ill look into a solution. They are -44
solman2 I hear him perfect. Watching thru my iPhone.
I have a hard time hearing him on my laptop as well.
-24
solman2 heard him perfectly on my android! I think it's your phone not his js
Just got mine 2 days ago! I love it! Definitely need side rails bcuz I am only 5’4, gotta get windows tinted & I love ur wheels! Thanks for the tip about the rubbing!
AFM is the ultimate engine killer. Let me tell you.... 90k miles and a new motor. Range is a good "temp" solution the best is AFM delete but is also a lot more expensive.
BrappinDRZ I had an 08 Sierra 5.3 with it, bought new drove to 212,000 miles no issues.. Sold it I now have 09 with 6.0 it has it but I got the range on this one. Taking no chances. But now if something happens it's getting built.
Good insight! The window setting seems petty but, when it rains, it's more important to roll the Windows up fast.
Preach. I'm looking for a truck. I've always been a Chevy man but cylinder deactivation has me looking at the Tundra.
k.b. little do it.
k.b. little
Chevy shake. . . .chevy shake be careful buyers
Awe yes the toyota from those nice people who brought you Pearl Harbor.. hmm well I don’t know about you guys but I haven’t forgotten nor will I.. but then again I’m just a Red Blooded AMERICAN.. 🇺🇸
amv1231 tundras only truck that's actually made in America
Friend of mine traded in his laggy Tundra for an F-150 5.0. FYI
amen brotha! All the work i put into my 14' doesnt make me hate that AFM any less. Kills the love of my truck.
I'm a technician for Chevrolet it's an awesome truck I have same truck in tricoat pearl white it's absolutely beautiful
Have these motors had problems with the AFM. Im not worried about it but would like to hear from a tech i have a 17 5.3.
Kenny_Powers no problems with the motors I has 2015 and now 2018 Silverado with afm with 5.3
Did the 2012 Silverado have afm problems I heard it was more common in those models from 2007 to 2013?
Brandon Davis early on there were but past years no problem I've had Silverado since 2013 I've never had any issues with mine I now have 2018
Brandon Davis I have a 2012 gmc sierra with the 5.3 and yes this year has the problem.... I have the dreaded lifter tick on start up every time. I'm just driving a ticking time bomb. Then I will be doing the AFM delete. It sucks that they couldnt fix the problem in 2007 when they knew there was an issue. But i guess if they don't fix it then people will buy more vehicles. 2013 was when they fixed the issue
Agree with you on the cylinder deactivation, and power up windows.
2016 Silverado Z71, no lift but ground clearance is a joke especially that they market this truck as off-road z71, front valance and mudflaps are too low to ground, ripped one or two off already in northeast snow, 👎🏼
I just learned that my 2017 Silverado LTZ Z71 has a protective engine skid plate made out of plastic. How does that grab ya?
I have the automatic roll-up on both front doors on my 2013 F150. I didn't know GM went to the capless fuel filler. Very clean truck man!
What's your percentage on the tint ?
Brandon Fragoso looks like 20% on top of the privacy smoked glass on the back and 20% front and a brow that’s to low but that’s probably 5% either way. Always check your state laws and regulations.
They added the cylinder activation because it is used for fuel economy. I personally own a 2019 Chevy 1500. I kept it on and tested it and I was able to get 45 MPG with it on and 39 with it off. Its up to what you want. If I had a option I would keep it on and there has been times I wanted it off like off roading.
Side mirrors way too small.
Tom Abts good thing the tow mirrors are an option.
Or just keep it stock ? You don’t need wider wheels man, the truck was engineered to fit the stock wheels (of course you can always just change the tyers). It looks great but man take my word for it, I’ve been there, keep it stock and you’ll have no problems (for the most part) and as for the always stay on 8 cylinder (gas eater) well, that computer saves you gas man. Sick truck I own one myself, but this is just from my experience
This isnt my first truck, stock is to boring lol
Meowmers bigger wheels = smaller wiener
@@lmfscrew "to boring"???
CAN'T HEAR YOU
Regarding the cylinder deactivation:
If you left your tire size stock, you wouldn't have any issues. By upsizing the tire and wheel diameter, you changed the final gear ratio. To correct that, you would need to change your ring and pinion gear out in your differential to comepensate for your lift and oversized tires. You're losing power during the deactivation because your truck is not in the torque band anymore.
I hated it when the truck was stock.
Well then how are you going to complain about this issue? When you lift a truck you're supposed to change ring and pinion. So you did a half ass lift job and now you want to complain about a loss of power. I don't get it
I doubt seriously that a 4-500 rpm drop from taller tires, (which is a huge change, probably more like 150 - 200) at speed will "drop you out of the torque band". They ain't that narrow. Yes, relatively speaking, it will be less responsive. After all, you are lowering the gearing numerically.
For a great comparison in tire dia, go to Tire Rack, look up revolutions per mile w the stock tire and see what the diff is with the intended substitute. A little ratio and proportion math work will give a decent idea on what to expect.
I checked my factory 275/55-20 against a 275/65-20 and iirc, it was maybe 3.5%. How responsive you need your ride to be is totally subjective. In the end....
To each his own.

The non auto windows are a ridiculous pain, I agree but the biggest complaint for me is the second spring loaded flap down the throat of the gas tank fill line. Even if you carry a spare gas tank, like I do... you can't put gas into your tank from a spare 5 gallon tank without a long spout funnel being used to pry open the second flapper valve located a few inches below the first one... Filling up at a pump is easy, but in the woods, you also need a funnel.
It's easy to defeat the child safety feature on the power windows. Just keep the button pressed until the window is all the way up!
Nice truck I like it what exhaust are you running I would like to do that to my 2017 mine looks just like yours but black the white looks really clean
The window switches for the passenger windows don't automatically raise because they don't want anyone getting their hands caught in them.
Well that's a poor design. My mustang rolls both up and will detect if it hits anything and immediately roll the window back down.
What’s your tint %? Looks good 😮
My 2500 6.0 is sluggish but then it goes. New trucks have round wheel wells. It's hard to put windows down just a little, they either are up or all the way down.
The one thing I hate about my 2015 is the headlights. I paid almost $50K for the LTZ dbl cab with the the 6.2l and it came with halogens. Pissed me off to no end.
I get the cylinder deactivation, its annoying but it gets better with miles. My 16 Denali has it and other than the green v4 light coming on you barely know it has switched to 4 cylinder mode. The window thing would be a convenience yes, but that's a safety feature. Having 4 kids I can live with rolling a window up instead of smashing their fingers or worse (used to you pushed down to roll a window up until a few kids killed themselves by rolling the windows up on their necks). As for fuel mileage, well big wheels dont help. But I've learned over the years that the way I drive effect my fuel mileage, I can get 14-15mpg or mid 18s to low 20 mpg. Granted I have a 6.2 now but all my previous trucks were z71s with the 5.3
Just bought mine today
1st truck I ever owned. My 2018 Z71 is silver wish it was blue or black but other than that it fucking rocks
So I made the mistake of reading all the negative comments people have about their new Chevy trucks, and I feel the need to address these half-thought comments.
AFM is GM's way of meeting the mandated CAFE standards. Blame the government for that.
The laggy trans, throttle, AFM, etc can ALL be cured with a good tune...which brings me to my next point:
It blows my mind that people are paying $200 for that OBD module. A good tune fixes ALL the above issues and costs around $350 from a reputable tuner.
The way the windows go up is a safety design. Necessary in my book.
I have a 2016 Silverado with over 66k miles. CAI, exhaust, tune, slightly larger Nitto Terra Grapplers. And almost zero paint chips, because I was smart enough to invest in Xpel when I bought it. Oh, and the only maintenance I've done is change the oil. Zero mechanical problems whatsoever.
I'd much rather have my no-maintenance 66k mile truck than the mechanical nightmare of a Ford.
The range is untraceable. A aftermarket tune is not. If warranty is needed for something major like a engine or trans going out your tune will screw you at the wrong dealership. My truck drives just fine with the range. Rear windows is not a safety issue if applied properly, like ive explained to a million people. My mustangs windwos auto roll down when any resistance is met. Chevy could easily apply the same technology.
I think Chevy just took the “better safe than sorry” approach with the windows, like many do. Saves them from potential malfunction and lawsuits.
And as far as the warranty, look up the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. There have been plenty of reputable tuners who have won suits using the BBB as a vessel to prove that their tune wasn’t a cause for a failed engine etc. Notice that I used the word reputable. Make sure they back up their product. I’ve had Blackbear Performance tune two of my trucks and it’s the best thing you can do for a Chevy. GM detunes these things so bad it’s unreal.
I understand your dislikes .but I also am with you on loving it. I just bought one this past December. I had the Colorado previously and loved that but love this one 100 times more. Bigger engine more possibilities!
I tow a 26 ft travel trail from coast to coast twice and have been so amazing while towing at 70 MPH to look down to see I was running on 4 cylinders and even more amazed how smoothly it transverses back to 8 cylinders. Unless I am watching the information center I can not feel or know how many cylinders are active while towing. My 2018 has 37000+ miles. I even seen 6 cylinders on on occasion.
Yeah I turned off cylinder deactivation also. However, it did not make any sense to me to buy a plug in module that you have to leave in your OBD2 when you can spend about $100 more and get full blown tuner. Personally, I bought the Hypertech and have been very happy with it. Additionally, my OBD2 port is open which allows me to put my bluetooth OBD2 sensor module in so I can use the Torque app on my phone for real time information and diagnostics a well as fuel milage trip recording and a host of live gauges with information that does not exist on the factory dash guages. I have two phones one for that stuff and one free for navigation and phone calls! First world problem solved! By the way cylinder deactivation does not give you better gas mileage. I get 1.5-2 miles per gallon better on the regular gas tune with my 5.3ltr Chevy V-8 Silverado.
What tuner do you have
The idea behind the windows not rolling up by themselves is to prevent accidentally rolling up the window if a kid or something is sticking out of the window. All vehicles must have this ever since a couple accidents with kids getting fractured necks back in the day lol
My number one inconvenience about this truck it's the fact the only set of cup holders is on my console in the center so if I ever flip that console up I don't have cup holders they could have either put more cup holders or place them in a better place
The reason the back windows don't go up automatically is for safety reasons, kids have been hurt or killed b/c the window could not be stopped. I have a 2016 and the r/f window is not express up for the same reason!
Chevy isn’t the one who forced the DOD. That’s government regulations
I have the same truck but 2017, my biggest gripe is the constant downshifting. Drives me crazy. Amazing truck though!
Well if you can’t afford the range technology. You can bypass the v4 drop by, when you go to drive off, you put it in manual then go to 5 or m5. Then it won’t drop. But you got to do it every time you go to drive.
Still trying to understand how people think the top of the fenders being square affects the rubbing of negative offset wheels on the bottom. Get the appropriate lift for the wheels or stay with factory wheels and you won't have a problem
Wait until your fuel injectors need replacement around 20,000. Wait until your simple pumps stop working around 35,000 miles. Watch your seals. They'll leak due to poor quality parts.GM sent notices to dealerships and yet did not recall them. Now I've got water stains on the head board. Banging in the transmission when placed in reverse. At least that's what happened to my 16 Silverado. Never again a GM vehicle.
Ya just had to replace my fuel injector. 2016 truck. Almost 2k to get it done. Only 60k miles on truck
@@90kevin20 Sorry to hear you're experiencing my issues too. I bought the truck on the advice of friends of mine swearing by Chevy. One has had the computer replaced with less than 10,000 on his new truck. Not so terrific now are they.
I'm likely going back to Ford when I can afford it.
Sounds like I'll be holding onto my 2012 Silverado 1500 5.3 with 60k for as long as I can, until I can afford new one.
I must be the only person that doesn’t mind the cylinder deactivation. Doesn’t bother me at all. Never had problems 2015 LTZ 1500
Don't forget the huge turning radius!
1// ITS NOT AN F 150 WITH A BAD ENGINE 2// ITS PAID OFF 3//GREAT MPG 4// NO RECALLS LIKE F 150// 5// ITS NOT A BEATER 2024 F 150
Range got rid of AFM on my 17 High Country 6.2L. Also got 4 Bilstein 4600s under warranty didn't like the ride. If anyone has the 3/60 left get after service and they'll replace them with shocks of your choice at least mine did. Love my truck only issue I had was the 8 speed clunking warranty also fixed it with a relearn.
The sound of pure American manliness. Though I hate Chevy makes no trucks in America. Corvette is basically all built in America. It is technically called Variable Valve Timing or used to be.
Had a 2007 Z71 with 5.3 and AFM. Dead engine at 77k (likely one of the 4 "deactivated" lifters got stuck, but no way to know without opening Pandora's engine block). Replaced it with a 2017 2500HD 4x4 with 6.0 and NO AFM. Also 6.5' bed, 9+" ground clearance stock. A definite upgrade.
Sick upgrade! I just got a 2017 GMC Sierra with the 5.3 but it's got ever other upgrade, 8-speed trans, sunroof, heated/cooled seat & steering wheel, etc. Love it! It's actually my 1st truck (I'm 22 and have only owned sports cars up to this point lol). Only thing I wish is it was a diesel or atleast the 6.2 just for a little more power, want to lift mine but trying not to do anything to void my warranty as its at 80k miles.
