    I just had a rental 2024 Duramax LT while my Ram was being serviced for warranty repair. I towed 10k, Jeep and Heavy trailer, and the power of the new D Max was amazing. I was doing 85mph up grades in 9th gear. Really an awesome truck. Unfortunately, I don’t trust GM electronics, way too many issues lately.

    I just built and ordered a ZR2 2500hd. Gasser, less the Bison package, and less the tech package, which is essentially the heads up display and rear mirror camera. $69,250 less any more rebates when the truck comes in. IMO this is a way better truck for the money than the LTZ. I get the same options as the LTZ less those couple that I mentioned, and I get the ZR2 truck for less money. Winning!!

    This is the exact truck I just bought. I considered a ZR2 but knowing I would change wheels and tires and add a small lift regardless made this the better option. I can add exactly what I want to the LTZ Z71 and still come out less than what a ZR2 would have cost. The only thing I'm missing is the DSSV shocks and rear locker, which doesn't hurt my feelings a bit. I plan on towing and offroad shocks like that were never meant to tow. This is also the first time I can remember where Chevy has the best looking truck in my opinion. Even beats out the GMC for me, and optioned out the exact same, was $6k less than the GMC AT4. This truck just makes sense.

    Z71 doesn't have the Multimatic DSSV suspension, which is what makes all ZR2s unique. The ride quality is unmatched. I've got the 1500 and 2500HD ZR2 and they are great trucks and ride incredibly well at 80 mph on freeway or 15 mph off road.

      Diesel is gonna give you problems in the long run of your not driving it that high RPMs for long distances. Most people get the diesel and just use it as a daily back and forth to work and that's when the engine starts giving you problems. Unlike a gas engine

      I bought a new diesel and have already had emissions issues 4K on it. People in the groups are having weekly problems. Get gas. The money you’ll keep in your pocket over a diesel is worth it. Even if you purchase a 100k extended bumper to bumper the biggest issues is emissions control. I’ll be trading my 3.0 Duramax with in the next year for the 6.6 gas zr2.

  • @dlg5485
    @dlg5485 9 месяцев назад +37

    If you go with the 6.6 gas engine and stick with more sensible options choices, you can get a LTZ Z71 Sport very nicely equipped for $70k, before negotiating a discount. Personally, I wouldn't buy most modern diesel engines because they are absurdly overpriced, extremely unreliable and way too expensive to maintain. Any of the HD gas engines available are reliable and way more capable than most buyers will ever need, but most truck buyers don't actually need a truck at all so I guess that explains that.

    Tires are important. But, for a more important reason than you cited. They are most important as an integral part of the suspension of any vehicle. I saw you hopping around in the parking lot which you didn't intend to be in. That truck would have ridden much smoother on 17" wheels with a properly inflated set of BFG All-Terrains. That would be my choice. Of course I would choose white letters out and saved 10Gs on a gas engine, too. But, that's JMO.

    This guy has to be High. The LTZ is no where close to the ZR2 the only thing in common is the Name Brand and the Color.I have the ZR2 HD and if you build the LTZ Z71 package it’s only about 3k more for the ZR2 HD and you get upgraded suspension, lift, A arms, and lockers. You can’t add all of that yourself for 3k. The ride is totally different the ZR2 HD is way more comfortable with the multimatics then the LTZ Z71 with the Rancho’s.
