Oh well Scotty kids are 10 times safer in the back of that GM than in your 94 celica. That's why I drive a full sized half ton I have young kids. That and the traction with all the weight in the winter storms up north.
You can only get rear vents in the new design lol 2019 or newer. That and they centered the steering wheel and made round wheel wells instead of square. I think I'll keep my dodge.
Thanks GM For the VEGA TECHNICS...
I'm completely biased i don't agree with you scotty I will die before I buy a Ford f series or dodge ram
I own a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado highcountry 4x4 before I enjoy my truck but you are right GM quality is crap 97,000 miles I put on it in 2 years I just flushed my transmission & transfer case I change my oil every 5,000 miles don't buy the 2014 or 2015 one they have lifter problems GM did fix the problem in 2016 take care of your vehicle it will last longer
Garbage brand
Imagine taking your car to the mechanic just for him to make a RUclips video about how crappy it is 😆
The truth is refreshing
It is always wonderful to learn from OTHER people's mistakes!!!
You come to my house I’ll roast you personally lol
The truth will out your car on Craigslist!! Lol!!!
Just imagine
After watching Scotty's videos, i dont want a car anymore.
Right? I wanted one but then watched this video

@@tubi2123 don’t it is a awsome car I have a 2014 ltz gfx Silverado never had a problem buy it
@@James73hsj hmmm I was thinking more like a 2018. Think they are still as good as your 14?
My 2011 Silverado has 260000 miles on it and it still runs great.I did put a deactivator on it to keep it in full V-8 mode. Great truck with no payment
Same here. My 2014 silverado 6.2l has 280k miles, I put on a range afm deactivator, and it's still going! Original everything. Just maintenance and tune-ups. I'm presently working on redoing the suspension, though.
Yeah this dudes a chode
I have an all-original 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500. It has nearly 300,000 miles. Even with all the internal plastic pieces they switched to in this generation, it’s still held up better than most Fords I see from similar years.
Mine has 400000.
those early 2000 fords are honestly a hit or miss, i know someone who had one with 400k miles and finally went out because of a wreck, and then some where they go out when you just look at it, you never know with those early 2k ones lol
My F150 has the aluminum bed. It was cheap when I bought it. Aluminum bed isn’t a good idea. Oil change guy tells me the oil pan is plastic and the plug is plastic. Only a rubber O ring keeps oil inside
The 2005 Chevrolet Silverado I have has had it’s issues, but it’s a great truck!
You’re smoking crack saying It holds up better than fords from that year… 2000 f250’s and excursions are laughing their arses off
Moral of the story: the best pickup truck is the 1994 Toyota Celica
Yeah that’s not logical, because a truck and a car are not the same. Scotty is not a professional
There ya go 😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Imagine being the bloke that owns that truck watching this video... Like Scotty man all I asked was for you to check out the AC not do a whole walk around a point out every bad aspect of my truck. Guy went and traded it in the next day more and likely. 😂

It’s the science of SALES. Just like short skirts and that old axiom of the advertising world “sex sells”. No I’m not joking look it up. Same foolishness goes here with chrome and cameras...🤬.

Mine is 20 years old and is clearly the best truck I have ever owned - this dude has a broken compass - like a rock
Their older vehichles are better than the modern ones.
love my 03 chevy!!
I'd say 07-13 was the last really solid gen for chevys. Stuff after that is still decent but has lost its quality over time
I traded in my 1999 Silverado for a 2015. I wish I could get it back
if you watch the whole video...he basically says nothing except that the evaporator and tailgate handle are junk. that hardly makes for a worthless pickup. the suspension, chassis, engine, all solid. yeah it sucks to change the AC at five years or so, but that doesn't make the truck a poor purchase. I'm a ford guy, but I agree with you on the call...nothing bad on these rigs.
His next episode should be why not to buy anything made after 2000😂😂

Well the lexus he has is very reliable and it's a 2002

@@plaguemarine1111 that is facts
I have had 2 Silverados this will be my last
I haul my huge and heavy cab-over camper with my '89 R3500 Chevy Silverado with a 454. She was my late hubby's baby. She only had one short-term owner before us. She's a beast and due to my age, she'll be my last vehicle. Like everything else these days the price goes up and the quality goes down.

And if you think that Toyotas are completely trouble free I have a bridge I'll sell you. If we listened to every video that Scotty makes we'd all be on skateboards cuz there wouldn't be a worthwhile car to own. Every brand has its problems don't care who makes it.

Love how this channel disses Chevys. Got an 09 1500 Z71 with 274,000, and does mostly interstate driving that’s still running strong. It gets used for towing often as well. All about the maintenance.
I just bought a Silverado a month ago that is only a couple years old for a really good deal because of the gas situation. The last one I owned was a 1992. Huge difference. I’ve been driving Jeep Grand Cherokees (Hemi) since then so I thought to myself why not lol. I’m happy with it so far.
My first truck was a chevy Silverado. 280k miles trucks been every mudhole I saw in my teen years and it still runs like a top. I got it when i was 14 and I'm nearly 29. I've put an alternator on it. I think I'll keep my chevy
those chevys back in the day were good, these latest in the last 10-15 years...not good
@@kdwindowcleaning they call em "cowboy caddilacs" not even trucks anymore.
That’s because it’s an old one. Old Chevy-Ford-Dodge Trucks were Great, new ones are JUNK.
@@cavscout62 correction their all junk except Ford.
@@cavscout62 ive got a 2013 f-150 with the 5.0 and it is a fantastic truck, the only work we did with it is basic maintenance and a replacement battery, great truck, id say its one of the last good modern trucks
Yeah, but they sure are a lot of them with 200k and 300k plus miles still running up and down the roads. Regardless of Scotty's opinion, the truth is they last forever and you can't hardly kill them. I've never owned a vehicle of any brand that didnt need some work along the way, especially when it hits 100k miles
Is there any car or truck that Scotty actually likes?
@@phil-1115 He likes the old rigs like my dads 1970 GMC pickup that had the infamous 307 motor. Lots of power, thin cylinder walls, pretty much guaranteed the motor to be rebuilt at 50-60k miles. Then the cylinder walls were so thin that if you did bore them out they'd get hot and ruin the thin walls. Best thing you could do with those was to run it til it blew up and then replace it with a good motor like the 327. That is what we replaced ours with after it had gone through Three different 307 motors by 1986
@@jtarman70, I had a 1968 Chevy truck that I dropped a 350 in. I loved that truck.
@62guitarguy, The only vehicle that I have ever owned with no A.C. was the 68 and it didn't have one from the factory. I have owned many GM trucks and cars with well over 200K miles and all had working A.C. I even owned a 79 Ford Granada once and the A.C. worked on it too. I have been a Master Tech for a long time, and I, or tech's that I have worked with, have repaired A.C.'s on just about every make and model on the road. I can't say that one is worse than the other.
Completely agree. I own a 2005 silverado that I use for work, I've abused the crap out of it and it's still running strong at 300k.
I just had this done on my 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn w/ 110k miles was leaking for a couple years. $80 to refill every summer or $2500 to repair (swapped the heater core too because the heat was weak as well ) all under the dash. Dodge defiantly has build problems too
My 05 2500HD with 503,000 miles still works perfectly
Do you have the 6.0 or Duramax?
I second this question 6.0 or DMax?
Had 2 GM trucks both with 300,000 mile plus with no problems & running strong!
Deom 2014 and up GM went down hill, as a Ford guy I prefer Chevy between 03-08 than Ford since Ford had problems with their engines that time
fastmove117 not the 4.6
got a 2006 silverado hd with 435,000 miles. runs like a dream and could rip the toyota in half while towing a boat.
I'll stick with my Chevy.
When you are a fan boy, it's called delusional
435k hahaha ok buddy
My dad had a 99 and a half. 5.3 z71 Silverado. Had 460,000 on it when he totaled it and he was hard on that truck. So very believable for me.
Coads 1 yeah totally crazy....almost like all those guys making stupid power with junkyard 4.8,5.3,6.0 ls motors running 8s in the 1/4 mile for dirt cheap. Love all the butt hurt in the comments. So much heart and feelings into brands you had no part in.
That’s wtf I want a Silverado smh
Had a 99 Silverado LS with 265K miles on. Original evaporator and still blows cold air (on its second compressor though). It's now my son's truck. My 2014 Silverado LT with 63k miles is just as awesome, love that truck!
Low miles for a 2014. Nice
I'm glad I have an older model gmc. With 370,000 miles it still runs well no matter how much I stress I put on it.

My 2014 Silverado LT is 7 years old now and the back latch is fine. Had an Evaporator leak but out of warranty cost was south of $1k, not $2000. Paid $37K for the truck new in 2014. Now, I go for upgrades as often as I can. (wheels/tires, intake & Exhaust, tuning, performance parts in general)... Question: would getting a performance/higher volume radiator kit be worthwhile?
The best part was the test drive. “..Kind of point and steer..” had me laughing

Im putting my money his wife cheated on him with a guy who owned a chevy lol

Wouldnt it be funny if he took a crowbar to every corner of the truck, And started crying. 🤣🤣🤣
lmaoooooo Exactly
Scotty doesn't like women just men in Fords
Hey Scott I just have a question how would you evaluate and describe the the Ford F series just like you did with Chevy?
Love my 2006 GMC SIerra, with the small V8. Extremely trouble free. So far I replaced the serpentine belt and tension pulley, and put new shocks and tires on it. Cleaned the MAF sensor once. I did have to fix the instrument cluster which needed resoldered. Other than that, the truck is amazing. Oh yeah, I also replaced the speakers. Took out the paper cone junk speakers when they degraded.
i have an 03 Denali with the 6.0 and i agree, it’s bulletproof
The 4.8 is a damn good motor

Very cool video. And the Silverado’s I like the best are the older ones from the 1980s and 90s and the 1970s😎😎
U kill me dude every time, thanks for the help on all the fixes in the past. All the way from STL
I agree with Scotty on the closing statement: "rather pay cash for a car that's 5 grand used than get no interest on an $80K car." :) Really hits home. A coworker just went for a $75K Silverado with low interest and incentives. Monthly auto loan payment higher than my monthly home mortgage. No thanks.
I made a statement like that to a person I work with, his response was 'hey the trick is to get it off the showroom floor, I'll make every third payment a best'
Part of the trick is who you are. I buy the cheapest new Silverado work trucks, they cost about the same as a lower end car (upper teens, lower 20s). If you use a truck as a commuter car, that's the best idea.
Most guys who traditionally buy high end trucks (theoretically commercial vehicles), are able to write them off on their taxes. I know a guy who buys a new Silverado each year (he owns 2 at a time, for his company so every year they trade 1 in), and trades them in at the 2 year mark, when they each typically have 250,000 miles or so.
When it's a tax write-off, it makes a lot more sense. Obviously office workers can't justify the expense unless they're well paid.
😅😅😅 it’s not thaaaaatttt baddd ..... it’s like a second marriage/wife that your wife knows about ..... it costs the same anyways as far as I’m concerned

I'll stick to my Grand Marquis. I heard someone the other day say "I wanna buy a 4 cylinder Silverado, it gets better gas mileage" NO you don't!
I want to go back to one
good idea
Yeah you're missing the point of the 4cyl... it's turbocharged and actually pretty damn fun
Atta boy....you should probably tell them you don't mind if they charge you a little extra.
Grand Marquis sounds real boss.
I've got a 2015 Tahoe with 105k miles that'll take the cab temperature from 100+ to walk in cooler in 5 mins, I also got rear-ended in a 2015 Sierra at a dead stop by a Nissan crossover going 65-70 mph and suffered no serious injuries. I also got 24-25 mpg highway consistently with my Sierra; though mine had the 6.2 not the 5.3. I'm not sure what problems y'all are having with your GM trucks but mine have treated me very well.

Chevy used to be very good. I had a 2000 Silverado for 19 years and I loved it. Traded it for a 2021 and I hate it. Both are very basic with single cab, long box, even crank windows. The 2021 really cheaped out on a lot of things. I won't buy another one.

Really doesn't matter what you buy now days all the new vehicles are built like junk hard to work on and mostly plastic
Toyota 4Runner my man
Most cars today are built to be brought and drove for a little bit and then traded in for a newer one the next two to three years. It helps the economy by making you spend more money lol
amani mango Not really. That was more of a 1950s thing where you traded for a new car because they styling was out of date every year, and your engine was whupped by 100,000 miles because of poor quality oil and less advanced tolerances. Not at all uncommon to see 15-20 year old vehicles driving around today. Look at pictures from the ‘70s and you’ll very rarely see a car from the 1950s. People keep vehicles longer today than they ever have.
@@jackstacey7519 Also cars today are more reliable in the sheer mechanical aspect. What really holds us back is nuances in technology. Cars without high tech aren't valued as well. Look at how much the Mitsubishi Mirage sold and how poorly rated it was. Even-though the Mirage is pretty reliable and cheap to own. It is considered a crap car by most reviewers but reviewers don't like boring cars and there's not much to say about the Mirage.
Damn right I like the old stuff👍
Love your channel! I agree a truck that new with a major failure is unacceptable, BUT, a used Toyota cost twice as much as a used Chevy and Chevy parts are cheap and they're easy to work on
Hi Scotty! In your opinion what is the most reliable truck nova days?

Scotty do you think the newer 2021 Chevy and GMC are built better now?
My 86 has the evaporator in the engine compartment.. still works well.
I love when Scotty trashes a customer's car. 😅🤣😅🤣
Maximus Areilius
All new cars are trash if you know what your looking at.
@@fastinradfordable No. Not all new cars are trash. Besides that truck he's trashing is not new.
Maybe the customer 😭will learn a lesson on buying trash😂
Tbh these 2014 2015 chevys came with bad transmissions as well. My buddies 2015 Silverado transmission went out just after his 100k warranty ofc lol.
Maximus Areilius Would love if scotty trashed you’re vehicle
GM in the back: dam we ain't fooling no one with the blanket commercial.
Never owned anything but a GM truck and have never really had many issues, and never a major issue. Total of six trucks one which I drove for 14 years and a 06’ I drove for 10 years and the guy I sold it to is a mechanic and loves it.
My 2004 Silverado has 237k on it. Spent most of it's life in salt winters. Seen -20 to 110 temps. Original ac parts, never been charged. Factory water pump and alternator made it past 210k.
Quite sad seeing how Chevy is making cheap parts.. the old Chevys were great.
I'm 17 and my 1980 Chevy k10 silverado is beautiful and runs strong. Ofc being in NY it's my summer truck only but it runs great.
my cousin has a 81 with 380k miles and it runs great they need to figure out how they used to do it lol
That’s every car manufacturer nowadays. Plus every vehicle nowadays is overpriced for what you get.
Amen !
Yeah, but they have to. Their whole shtick is that they make low-end cars for low-class individuals. They're a very nice and caring company.
15 years with my Titan 310,000 mile L.A miles The ones that take 2hrs to drive 50 miles. same transmission same engine and The AC works like new haven’t touched it for anything still has the original Refrigerant.
Carlos Cortez Hell yeah my man! I’ve got a 20 year old Nissan Pathfinder (back when they were actually tough trucks). I bought it new in ‘99 and have put about 350k Bay Area miles on it. Never had a serious problem. Not one. There sure is something to be said about these old Nissan trucks 💪
Love the horse and talking about going through mud 🤣🤣 funny guy Scotty
I love that truck. Gunna go get me one. Great video man !!👌
Chevy tail gates and handles have been cheap for 20 years
Ive never seen a Chev tailgate that close properly or didn't rattle or hadn't had the handle replaced at least once
I snapped a 2010 ranger handle in 2015 or 16 for what it's worth.
@@commentingisawasteoftime7195 I did also on a ford explorer I had. But that was 1 handle on an explorer I had for 15 years. I have replaced 4 Chevy handles in less than 10 years
Truth they lots of problemes with their electronics..
Well then just pay 20k more for a f150. I'd take that cheap handle any day to save 20k
2:05 quit huffing refrigerant Scotty
The condensers always break on those as well.
Hey Scotty I bought a 2000 Chevy Silverado in 2001 and could never afford the gas to drive it much.
It is a ls short box with a 5.6 liter V8.
With 55k miles. Are they any good.
I suspect Scotty’s Celica will one day make it to Barrett Jackson after his passing for a good cause.
100 years from now with proper etiquete of giving this gentleman a week long wake, with open bar.
Yeah and its going to be worth $1 that celica he dont even drive but he brags about it being the mos reliable car ever. Any car can be reliable if it's not driven
Scotty's Celica was already driven 200,000 plus miles, and will be Priceless at auction😉😎
I can see Scotty being buried in it.
theres an identical one in the junkyard. maybe different year but same silver
I got nervous when Scotty put that leak detector in his mouth
@@weelgunny 😂😂😂
@@weelgunny
He would break it! 😆
And due to its reaction, kind of makes you wonder about the reliability of it
Great video !
I hav the same truck
Going thru my 2nd transmission
And having a hell of time finding a 3rd....
Do u know what years wil fit on ghis year ...5.3
My 2002 Silverado 1500HD 4x4 6.0L had 212,000 miles on it before I traded it in. I drove it from 2009-2020, over the years I replaced the water pump, fuel pump, front wheel bearings, and the a/c belt. All repairs were made after 170,000 miles. I traded it in on a 2019 Silverado LD 4x4 5.3L. Wife drives a 2013 z71 5.3L. Chevrolet makes good trucks, until one lets me down I ain't changing brands.
Hood for you but trucks made after 2004 are pretty much trash. Esthetically they’re nice but I’ve had my time with Chevy and it’s crapola. Not to mention side bumper panels falling off bc taped or glued on
Parts are relatively cheap too.
Next Video: This Silverado is a Game Changer
Yup LOL
@@bradwick212 no not at all lol GM is building them worse, chinamotors is not interested in building quality just quantity & there is a suck born every min.
I thought i was the only noticed Scotty's trend of bashing a car one day is "praising" it the very next day
Hey Scotty , I bought a 2015 4.3L Ecotec 1500 Chevy Silverado, I have to pull a 3600 lb trailer with it, did I make a mistake?
I don't have a Silverado, nor a Celica.... but somehow Scotty is very entertaining and I watched the video. Now I am smarter today than I was yesterday... and entertained. Thx Scotty...
4:02: "It would have cost them too much or maybe they couldn't figure out how to do it." Best line in the video. Second best line: "Chrome doesn't get you home."
"Here's why I'll die before I buy a car"
What are the best quality trucks to buy?
I love my 1995 5.2L Chevy c1500. Bought it for $650 7 years ago and drive it everywhere. 270,000 miles and still running strong.
Scotty, please don’t ever die on us! Protect yourself from this virus at all costs (GM virus of course I’m talking about)
GM cannot get him - The good man has the wishes and prayers of many commonfolk who love him.
It won't matter Toyota has the vaccine😉😂
American shouldn't have bailed GM out in 2009. This is the result of bailing them out
Yep should have started by not bailing out the original turd Chrysler/Dodge in 79.
we should have bailed Ford not GM in 2009.
@@chasl3645 actually FIAT saved them Chrysler spent there bailout money on advertising lol
GM is advertising for Toyota by building cheap junk
@@Perich29 WE DID. Only they called it a $9,000,000,000.00 loan. And it still owes us around 3.5 billion.
Scotty how to you like the 4.3 v6 4 speed transmission in these trucks? The 5.3 with the cylinder drop have problems and the 6 speed transmissions go out a lot?
Are Rav 4 good car? Used. Or Corolla used too. Is it a big deal driving a 4 or 6 cylinder car. ?
I had a 2017 Silverado, but now I have 2019 and I love them both.
deshaun dozier exactly this guys just a salty old man who is hating 😂😂
Spending money on cars that aren't worth noting
Cuz you're a biased fanboy... The truck has gotten hideous and made cheaper having numerous issues as sales are declining drastically.
Strange Brew lol. Stfu fruit. Go drive ur prius
Jorge Ramírez exactly 67,000 miles covered by chevys warranty
I have a 2014 silverado and i've gotten 27 mpg on the highway from dallas to austin (5.3). Love it!
Scotty Kilmer, I want to know your opinion on the 2020 Honda Fit?
Had one newer model as a work truck in Fort McMurray. I can't believe all the problems we had. Constant error codes and the transmission locked on us during a call. They replaced it with a much older pickup.
Anyone else like “big beefy rear ends”?
Sure do ..and they're endless money pits..
I don’t like big cars or big women but I always end up in them....Kid Rock.
serina williams big beefy rear end
@@senorpepper3405 I'd spank that !
I can not lie.
Love my 05 Silverado, will definitely by another one. 240k miles on it still going strong
Never get rid of that thing, you’ll regret it
Newer ones won’t last that long my friend
What about 2000 silverado V6 4.3L with 116K miles????
Still rocking my 01 1500HD
Comparing a Chevy Truck to a Toyota Celica for the way the
A/C works?
How does that make any sense?
I had a 99 Toyota Celica GT Convertible. The intake sensor failed then the electric motor for the top failed. And a 95 Toyota Corolla that the Alternator prematurely failed in and it costs $800!!! just for the part.
my 2018 has been an absolute pleasure to drive. I know certain components will wear out. But Ive undercoated it every year since new. Its in great shape up here in the rust belt. I dont beat on it either. 40k miles and going strong. The fit/finish compared to the bankruptcy 07-13 gen is superb. Built in USA. its an awesome truck.
I have a 2018 and it's also been great.
2018 - super pleased every time I get behind the wheel again. Quiet, reliable, never dog it, but jumped a curb or two strategically like it's built for it.
@@OnHoldAt50 I only beat on it a little after I first got it, to see what it could do. It's got plenty of power for a truck. But now I just baby it unless I have to pass somebody going 30 in a 45 or something lol
@@OnHoldAt50 my 2018 runs like a dream, my only gripe is the barely noticeable thump when it down shifts. I'm at 90k miles and haven't had to do any work on it. I put on the Pulsar LT and only turned off the AFM, drives even better now.
Never understood the attraction of a Ford truck. Chevy’s always been the best looking, longest lasting most reliable truck. I can’t get by the big round wheel wells of the Ford. Just never been an attractive truck
3:55 Funniest part. “They didn’t put rear AC in a $40k truck, either they are too cheap or couldn’t figure out how to do it” lol
Shots Fired!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's an option. Mine has heated and cooled front seat and heated rear seat. You don't get much for 40 grand anymore, which is sad. That applies to all manufacturers.
It’s under the front seats ... the air ducts
It has a vent under each seat blowing air towards the rear seats. They fire low but helps to circulate air... still could be loads better.
Pretty sure my 08 has vents in the center console
I loved my 05 Silverado, it had 185000 miles on it with no major issues when I sold it. I’m still kicking myself over that one.
6:20 I bought a new 2018 Yaris for my wife. She just needed a small, simple, cheap, comfortable, and reliable car. It's a good economy car! Love em!
Hey I'm looking to buy a truck soon. If chevys are bad what brand do you think I should go with? Ford? GMC?
