- My last two new vehicles were a 2018 Silverado and 2021 Silverado so in todays video I talk about why I decided not to buy a refreshed 2022 Chevrolet Silverado.
Авто/Мото
I love my 2022 Silverado!
Keep telling yourself that
Thanks for the Pulsar LT install video. Since then, I have no reoccuring issues with the transmission, MPG went up by 2, transmission line pressure has risen which has since prevented sudden jerking when taking off from a dead stop. My'19 has over 1800 engine hours and just under 60k miles. Thanks alot!!
I can’t understand how people can afford not only one of these trucks (any brand) much less two of them over a 3 year period.
Excited to see the new truck keep up the good work
I love my 2014, I might get one of the newer refreshed models. Love the new interiors. Probably get a Silverado, but a Sierra isn’t a bad option either
Team Sierra for the win
Glad you got what you wanted, no hate for that.
I didn't want to wait for the 6.2l Elevation. The only AT4 I could get in my area was white or black, don't want either. I ordered a Silver ice LT2 Silverado Trail Boss 6.2l. I hope it comes with the ZR2 hood scoop, but thats a long shot. I'm going to add one later when available. I'm replacing my beloved 18 Silverado that got totaled by another driver. Used prices are ridiculous, not paying that.
I hear ya man, I have a 2020 and I got a brochure in the mail for the 2022 ZR2 and started looking into them and decided to chill and instead put a 6" lift, 35's and the Pulsar on my shit to revitalize it 🤙🏻
I think you made the best decision. It's gonna be something fresh for the channel I don't see too many people on RUclips doing a Sierra build, mostly just the Silverado.
It goes custom, LT, RST, LTZ, then High Country. ZR2 is very new and has a waiting list. Interior is the only thing you will be looking at and enjoying so I think it’s a good jump if you need an upgrade.
Still driving My 1999 Ford F-150,not planning on buying a new truck at a house price anytime soon.
I'm excited to see the new Sierra and what you come up with to do to it. Long time GMC guy right here, still rocking the 2008. Til the wheels fall off
I'm on my 4th black Z71, 94, 2003, 2007, 2018, I traded 2003 Silverado in for the new Redesigned 2007 GMC Sierra, to my surprise it had rear Drum Brakes, all the Silverado's had rear disc brakes, So I guess they were the " Professional Grade Drum Brakes" Never understood That, Don't get me wrong I like General Motor vehicles.
I think it was a great choice going with the GMC. Can't wait to see the content!
You make very good points. I've been planning on buying a rst, I don't think I'll be able to with these prices, now I'm thinking the LT but still the prices are ridiculous
I have my 18 Silverado and I'd love to get a new truck but I'm not paying 90-100k CAD for the truck I want and I'm certainly not paying 70-80k for a truck I settle on.
Agree with you 100%. They ruined the front end. Last gen looks so much better. The bumper. The integrated air scoops. But I still don’t like the fact it has leaf springs on the back. And that the rear seats are so upright. Ram got both of those things right..
I like the depth you go into I have a 2007 Avalanche 109. 000 miles so it's time for a new truck I think the GMC is better still have not decided
between the X for off road stuff locking diff's. or Denali base and just like you say the list price is hard to swallow with no discounts.
I think we got your point the first time - but lets hear it again……and again…..and again….and again…..and….
I'm going to keep my 2021 silverado for the reason of I like that truck and don't need a fancy interior
High Country and ZR2 the ones that stood out to me. In the end went with a ZR2 Silverado in Glacier Blue
That is a nice truck !
I looked at one as well , just too pricey on Canada, that's a 100 000 truck with taxes
i bought a 2019 GMC SLT, which was an upgrade from my 2009 GMC W/T, I specifically wanted the push button start and a center console with the charging pad(which i haven't used much because it is inconvient where it is). It wasn't worth the extra price i would have had to pay to get the new dashboard layout, which i really do love. As it was, I paid $5000 more than i should have, but I only had 3 trucks to choose from in a 5 state area. In a couple of years, i'll get the 2022 model. Hopefully prices will have come down by then. I won't buy anything but a GMC.
Why I’m not buying a 2022 Silverado? 70,000 reasons.
I don't know about the rest of these guys but when I look at Sierra's versus Silverado I'm like six or a half-dozen Sierra's a little nicer cost a little bit more and I do like the way it looks better but basically there's not a whole lot of difference from a capability standpoint. With that Said I'm with you, I like the. Sierra better
I feel ya. I just bought a 2022 GMC Denali Carbon Pro Limited optioned out to the max. The 2022 Refreshed Denali Ultimate will be in the low to mid 80s, while mine was 73k.
I just bought the 2022 Silverado with the RST package with the Z71 Off Road package as well. I personally like how the truck looks and mine has fog lights on it. This is a huge improvement over my 1998 F150 and 2002 Suburban.
I think your GMC choice is good. I just got the 22 Sierra 1500 Elevation. The asthetics are great, The black 20' wheels on a silver truck make it. Your 21 was a good looker too.
I think this engine and trans would go good in my 03 envoy :) that’s a hell of a combo and with my truck weighing maybe 4300 lbs it would be sick for fuel mileage
I hope they make the seats more comfortable. I have a 2020 Silverado and they are stiff and small compared to Ford and Ram.
You make a very good point. Thanks for the video and information.
Going from a 2006 single cab silverado to 22 refresh Trailboss.. Definitely gonna be a big change for me . Can’t wait for mine to be built and delivered.
Man you're going to love it
@@lmfscrew Thank you, I think I will.. I’ve been holding out to get a new truck until the refresh was revealed.. Like some, I want that new interior.
I liked the elevation cause everything was body matched aside from the grill and other trim which I liked because I don't like chrome but the chrome on the denali ultimate looks nice for the grill anyway probably the only thing I'd leave chrome
Noticed the new 2022 refreshed elevation has wood grain trim in interior, which is okay, not a huge fan, but when u get the bucket seats with the center console it’s got two huge wood grain trim along each side (ugh). They they be changed?
I agree with you… the silverados w the transformer front end just looks the same up to 2022/23. Here in Canada we like the GMC and it always has more standard equipment/ a step up in design and features and has a better front end allday/everyday.
Great review. Thanks for the comparison
I like the RST....Look at the front end....the thin white strip just under the front hood lip, and the Bowtie and the thicker white piece thats almost center grill, touching the bottom of the bowtie....Paint or wrap these 3 things in black to match the grill....i think this would look 100% better. I'd like to see someone do this on the internet, to see how it looks. Just to be sure.
I wanted the all new 2022 Silverado just for the interiors but I didn’t think it was worth the extra 14k over the 2020 model I found with the same features and Chevy certified
Has GM finally resolved the problems with eight speed transmissions? My 2020 RST had to go back to the dealer after driving it home because of erratic shifting.
I factory ordered my 2014. I still have the truck and use it every day and it now has over 100,000 miles. I keep it spotless inside and out the best that I can and follow all required maintenance and more. I really don't see the point in purchasing a new vehicle every couple of years since you are only making other people money and not saving it for yourself, but hey! It is your cash so you obviously can do with it as you please. I like to make a new vehicle payment to myself every month and keep storing it in my bank account, then when it comes time to purchase a new truck, I just factory order exactly what I want and pay cash for it. That is the cheapest way and you will get exactly what you want in what color that you want.
Just throwing some free advice out. Do with it what you will.
My torque converter just blew up on my ‘14 that I have meticulously maintained. Turns out it’s a thing with 14 through 17, and even 8 speed 18 to 20 or so. I’m probably just gonna fix it and keep it another couple years to see how well the new style shake out. Gotta say, I do really dig the new interior.
@@riccun I have heard about that disaster. Not sure if I should just take mine in and have a new non OEM torque converter installed. I cannot believe that these would be a problem, it is not like they are new technology.
@@g.k.1669 supposedly a billet torque converter is the way to go
You made the right choice. The refreshed Silverado is basically the exact same truck on the outside except for the HUGE design mistake of relocating the Bowtie 6 inches higher than is should be! The Refreshed Sierra actually looks a lot different than the previous model. And not to forget that GMC/Chevy are basically the same truck. Change will be a good thing.
I honestly don’t see an issue with the bowtie location. Either the old or new. Kind of prefer the newer version myself, but it’s certainly not a game changer. Simply a personal preference. What is a game changer is the new redesigned interior and small body changes. The late 22 and 23 models are a huge upgrade to the line.
What wheel / tire combo were you running on your trail boss? Looks awesome!
i think i’m just gonna keep my 01 tacoma new truck prices are just so high rn
My coworker has a 2018 LTZ Silverado. The dealership where he brought it from offered him 6k more than he paid for it when he brought it in for an oil change. He didn't sell tho, because it's almost paid for. And buying a new one is a headache nowadays.
Glad you are sticking with GM.
Got a gf who’s family who’s had GM whole life and agrees that the seats in the trucks are too uncomfortable AT ANY TRIM. They’re “like a rock”. The seats in the Rams at base lvl are way more comfortable. It’s sad because I love the look of the new Silverado. And the 1/2 ton Duramax has better acceleration than the Rams.
They should have kept the front end the same and just updated the interior on the Silverado. I agree the refresh is a step back, the bowtie needs to be in the middle and that filler piece under the hood looks like an afterthought, the lights looked much better tight to the hood not moved down with a piece of plastic to fill in the gap.
Agreed, Chevy really dropped the ball with the refreshed Silverado exterior. The 2019-2021 Silverado front ends looked perfect in my opinion. It had the classic Silverado look but in a more modern way. The refresh erased all the key Silverado design cues, like the double stacked headlights, centered bowtie, etc. It now just looks ugly.
Pre-refresh, I preferred the Silverado exterior over the Sierra. But now after the Refresh, I'm going Sierra this time round.
I have a 2020 RST and the new interior for the 2023 / ZR2 is really nice. I'm on the fence but I am actually leaning towards the ZR2 obviously I would get it wrapped black and as far as other people mentioning lifter issues - there's no way they haven't fixed/revised that issue especially in newer built engines so that's the least of my worries especially with a warranty.
Unfortunately working in the service lane, we see plenty of 2022 vehicles still coming in with lifter issues ranging from 4k-15k miles when the lifters fail.
@@Flap300 yeah I experienced it last week with my 2019 Denali Pickup with only 16k miles I'm getting rid of it soon but I don't know what to get next smh
@@Flap300 I know gm has an option now to where you can buy a 5.3L without afm in the 2023 models what is your experience with that is there still lifter problems?
The days of deep discounts are done, at least for the near term future. I bought my 18 LT Z71 for $16,700 off sticker right before Christmas of 2018. Not sure I'll see those discounts again in my lifetime :D
I’m about to finish a deal on a black 22 rst and has everything except the moon roof for 57k out the door. Invoice was 62k. My only concern is that I hope they fixed all their engine issues
As a Sierra owner I’m here for it.
The problems you experienced with your 6.2l convinced me not to buy a new Suburban. I am going to look for a Suburban from between 1989 and 2004.
Stoked for you to get a new truck but I will be interested to see when it shows up and how much mechanical issues you might have… same as the Trail Boss?
Can wait to see the new truck
I never understand why people change trucks every year or 2 before they are even paid off. As far as the new prices and trim levels. I buy 2-3 year old trucks that are premium trim levels for half of the new price... I'm also a gm guy for most of my life but they are lacking in certain departments. I just got a 19 f150 platinum and that 3.5 ecoboost and the interior vibe and insane power and tuning ability as well as fuel mileage sold it for me. Hope you get it worked out man. Id keep the truck you have for a while its sharp. Your correct, it's just not worth it.
Agreed. Up until a few years ago, I would always purchased a new vehicle every 3-ish years, but I bought my current vehicle certified preowned with 60,000 miles on it and saved 50% compared to MSRP. Sure, there's nothing like It's a brand new vehicle that you know is pristine and hasn't been abused, and you can order exactly the way you want it, but it's also a great feeling saving $1000s when buying used. I will probably wait and buy a CPO refreshed 2022 Silverado or Sierra in 2-3 years and pay cash for it. Even buying used, I still prefer CPO for the warranty.
Not everyone has payments, can afford it and likes a new vehicle every couple years.
@@Hunterworks You're talking about maybe 10% of people. The rest are living outside their means, up to their necks in debt trying to keep up with everyone else who's doing the same thing. Americans love spending money they don't have on sh*t they don't need.
@@dlg5485 maybe he has it to spend and not our place to tell him where to spend it.
@@dlg5485 Yep, this was my program as well until things went wonky. I read the tea leaves a year ago and saw where the economy was going. Bought in early-ish 21 while GM was still offering rebates. Love the truck and what I paid for it. I expect she'll be around for a while.
That said, time will tell, but you might be better off buying new...assuming used car prices remain at the insane levels they're currently at. Given what vehicles cost these days, it's (literally) worth a couple grand (in peace of mind) to know your new/new to you purchase wasn't hooned to the max.
yep im a chevy and ford fan! my dad owns a 1969 z/28 camaro and a 1969 ss camaro convertible
I have the same feeling about upgrading just because the interior is different and just small details not enough to urge me to want anything newer at the moment I have a 19 high country and it's all I need at 26 this truck is already smarter than me I feel 😆
Former Silverado guy, bought a ‘21 GMC love it.
Looking forward to seeing your Sierra build
Did they fix the lifter problem with the Chevy in 2022?
Love the GMC content!
Just stumbled upon your page... you buy a new truck every year?? Can you explain the process? In my mind I would be losing tons if money in depreciation, but if there is a way to not lose $ every year, it sure would be nice to be in a new truck all the time!
@lmfscrew I know you aren't biased towards a specific brand, but what brand of truck is your favorite?
or favorite make and model
Silverado is probably my overall favorite I like pretty much all year models
Just bought an 03 sierra not running for $800
Ended up needing a starter and a battery drives pretty dang good
whats the highest trik thatll offer an front row bench seat? ignoring the base LT trim.
TIA
Can't wait to see the new gmc but you are literally driving my dream truck a crew cab 00 to 06 gmc
Prices are wack, my 2015 2lt Texas edition was 40k sticker price, now you can nearly get a base model for that
2:15… anyone else notice that absolutely gorgeous corvette in the background 🤤
I would miss the 6.2 man. Mine is a beast with power. I will keep my 19 High Country
Because the f150 isn't the "new" thing coming out. I'll have a new f150 one day
I have the same dilemma I have a 2020 at4 with very low mileage..i like the new interior but not worth upgrading yet ..
Great choice man can’t wait!!
Idk why chevy guys are complaining. Same truck, different logo. One has 3 letters, the other a stretched out swiss cross
What trim level on Chevrolets are the most comparable to a F150 Lariat trim level?
Sierra definitely the way to go
Is GM coming out with a V6 TT for the refresh? With the increased gas prices we may see the 6.2L go away in the next year or two.
I think you made the right move tbh 💪🏽
I don’t get it , I have a brand new 2022 Trailboss lt and they look nothing like the trucks you showed, the grills are nothing like this , is this a 2023 model?
I just found this channel. OMG, dead on dude. the prices of these trucks are off the charts. the dealerships are not taking into account, the wives, house notes, kids, food.
The dealers don’t care about your expenses 🤦🏻♀️ I’m 35 RN and have kids n single mom I paid my Truck cash $70,000 what’s your excuse? U people spend on bullshit trips n RVs n Razors 😂
I’ve been a Chevy man for 50 years. But I can’t stand the Active Fuel Management. Chevy really screwed up 🆙 with it.
man you should get a square body and build it
Why is no one addressing the lifter issues trucks are having from active fuel management cutting cylinders out ?.....kinda worried buying another chevy or GMC untill it's fixed
Hate what they did with the cup holders in the refresh. Two 44 oz drinks barely fit next to each other in the new one. Details matter.
2- 44oz drinks? Good lord son, you’ll have to stop every 1/2 hr to piss. 🤪
Couldn’t agree with you more!! 🙌
I do like the new Sierra’s more than the Silverado’s. It’s something about them and I can 100% agree with you on the weird placement of the front Chevy badge. Great truck choice, I’m ready for the new content.
The taillights on the new Chevys are just so weird looking whereas the gmc taillights look good. It’s too bad gm didn’t use the same taillights for the Silverado think it would look better. The only thing weird looking on the Sierra is the odd shaped wheel wells.
Thanks Nick!
@@lmfscrew no problem!
@@imthesameboyiusetobe yeah it’s kinda the same situation with the 2019 Camaro’s when no one liked the front end so they changed them on the 2020 models. Hopefully the same thing happens here.
Agreed, Chevy screwed up the refreshed Silverado exterior. The 2019-2021 Silverado front ends looked perfect in my opinion. It had the classic Silverado look but in a more modern way. The refresh erased all the key Silverado design cues, like the double stacked headlights, centered bowtie, etc. It now just looks ugly.
Pre-refresh, I preferred the Silverado exterior over the Sierra. But now after the Refresh, I'm going Sierra this time round.
Love my 21 TB 6.2 in steel gray.. even the 22 HD I received a 5k discount.. just have to shop around
They're all ugly IMO. Will never own one. 2018 was the last year of good looking Silverados
100% agree. Love my 2011 and would never trade it for these newer ones
Love my 2014.
Most definitely
I'd have to disagree, atleast for the Pre-refresh models (2019-2021). Those still captured most of the key Silverado Deisgn cues. The Refreshed Silverado's however, no, they're truly ugly. Just like the current HDs.
Why the electrocrap shifter for one and why get rid of the output plugs on the center console? Smh
Did you ever have trouble with your old Silverado’s infotainment system? My sierra’s intellilink system is very glitchy and does random things all the time. Very annoying and in need of guidance.
The interior is awesome and the exterior is beautiful 🇺🇸💪
Yeah, prices are up but the trade-in values are sky high right now. It all equals out.
I have a 22 LTD trail boss LT and want to order a refreshed model. I love the looks of the trail boss but want the features that comes in the AT4 that you just can’t option in the trail boss. Thoughts?
What options does at4 have over trail boss
@@oscarcerda8629 As best as I can tell, you can cool your rear cheeks and automagically fold your mirrors. 😉
I have the 21 model Sierra. If I ever buy another it’ll be the refresh Sierra as well. I don’t like the refresh Silverado look at all. The one before the refresh I loved the look, but couldn’t find an Ltz when I was on the market and found an SLT so I went with it.
I’m going from a 98 Sierra to a 22 Sierra. The difference is going to be day and night . The transmission alone will be going from a 4 speed to a 10. Are you going to keep your 06 Sierra? I will keep mine for a little while just to compare the two..
He said he’s keeping it forever like larry
Don't buy a new one you'll regret it!
You're going to legit love the new truck man, congrats. Yes I am keeping the 06 for sure I love it.
myself.....I still have my 98 Silverado Z71.... And I also have a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali......The 2017 is Nice!!!! But, I swear.........I wish they would have kept the 4 speed Trans!!! 4L60E!!!!!!! Just my opinion.
Why are there no pictures of the LT trail boss? Only ever saw pics of the custom trail boss.
Trading my Deep Ocean Blue 17 Z71 crew cab to a 21 Colorado ZR2 crew cab in Satin steel. Just waiting on ZR2 to be delivered
Can anybody tell me the tire and wheel and lift set up on the white 2018 Silverado?
22x12 33s
Honestly, I think Chevy made in the interior amazing but they ruined it for me on exterior styling which does NOT include ZR2. ZR2 is the only Silverado that looks great at this point with this “refresh”.
Couldnt you just do a grill swap on high country to the trail boss on the 2022 trail boss?
As a Ford guy, own an 18 STX 150, 5.0 V8 SC 4x4, the only good looking Chevy truck to come out in the last 5 years is the new electric one coming out later this year. That is a good looking truck!
Probably a wise decision on your part. I'm waiting for my 2022 HD High Country (in silver) to arrive. Really excited about the purchase because my last 3 trucks were F-150, and they seem to have gone downhill. I'll be pulling a small camper with the new Silverado. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
HD Diesel the way to go. My lifters failed on my 2019 Denali a few weeks ago will be getting rid of soon for a 6.6 Duramax
@@ynot9736 I went with the gas model. Glad I did. Love the truck though. It's a beast!
I'll keep my 2009 silverado with 230,400 miles and still runs strong.Body will rust out before motor goes.
I would have gotten the same truck, or an 2018 high country. Great Choice
Anyway within the next couple of years I'm hoping to order the refreshed GMC with the diesel I'm think I'm going to go for the AT4
Me too, hopefully.
Hey I have question when you delete the 3rd cat on the 2018 Silverado did you get check engine light ?
Nope, anything after the rear o2 sensors doesn't affect anything but sound
