Now if only GM would up the Warranty limits on these trucks, I mean for nearly 90k you could at least expect a 5 or 6 year bumper to bumper.
I upped mine to an 8 year 100k bumper to bumper warranty just because of the emissions equipment...
Duramax and emission equipment is 5 year 100k mile warranty already.
@@richfarfugnuven6308
In Ca it's an automatic 8 80k emissions
Exactly right ! They need and every manufacturer needs to do at least 100k mile warranty ! That’s not to much to ask for at 90 k dollars
Oh like Dodge? Dodge has taillight warranty pretty much
Not a Chevy fan but have to admit that's a sharp looking truck, & with them keeping a power train that's proven itself for many years is a big plus. Good job on the review & good job to Chevrolet.
Muccchhh better looking, inside and out. Looks even better without all of the chrome. Sure, it doesn't haven't the staggering torque of the Ram(1075) and Ford(1050/1200), but it isn't necessarily lacking either. I like that GM is finally listening to their customers and addressing the things that matter.
They have a decromed version called midnight edition
I wish GM would put the column shifter in the 1500 as well. It makes sense to free up space on the center console for additional storage. Great review, gents!
They do. My '22 1500 duramax LT has the column shifter. In fact, other than the wood trim on this spec the interior is nearly identical.
@@donhappel9566 Oh, interesting. I test drove a High Country trim a few weeks ago and it had the center console shifter, not the column shifter. I guess it's only available in certain trims.
Column shifter comes on half tons with the flip up console. Full center console gets the center shifter
your right , literally would be great since 99 percent of15OO owners are women they would have more room for their purse
I have one in my 2023 sle x31
Ok tbh I don’t care about numbers of power or torque all three of these trucks can pull anything you put behind
Not anything
@@agger838 🤦🏻♂️
I really like the look of the front of the new Silverado HD.
It's much better than the previous generation.
Hoping you guys get your hands on a 24 gasser! I’m excited to see how the 10 speed with the gasser pans out…. I am also in the market for a new one!
No shoutout but that’s why I like watching JB Reviews. He gets his hands on a lot of dealer gassers while tfl gets press vehicles.
People with 20 & 21 6.6 gas motors are experiencing heavy oil burning conditions
I have a 2020 Gasser with 60,000 miles on it no oil burning yet. 🤞🏼
@@AndrewJDixon we have had lifters and trans issues come through the shop pretty regularly. Not sure what they meant when they said the "high end levels" get this interior... We have had plenty of LTs with this interior.
@@AndrewJDixonnot me.
Just got my 24 ltz Duramax! Had a 2022 ram Cummins mega cab. Loving my new HD., all the right changes for this year! 👍
This trim in the Chevy red and chrome looks awesome in my opinion.
If I had a dollar for every time Andre said dude, I would be able to afford this truck.
The front end is a big improvement. Then again, about anything would be. 😂
Definitely it don't look like a ford now
Would like to see how the new Chevrolet HD with 6.6 gas with 10 speed performs on Ike now… wondering if the 10 speed is a big improvement.
I too would like to see how the 10 speed transmission does on the Ike but that will not happen until GM puts a 10speed transmission in the 6.6 gasser. The HD gasser only comes with the 6 speed transmission.
@@ricwestdoesitwork for MY24 the 6.6 gas comes with 10 speed.
@@ricwestdoesitwork I believe for 2024 the 6.6 gasser will now be paired with the 10 speed
@@ilocan74 You are right about that as long as your looking for a 2024 model. I knew at one time you could only get a 6-speed transmission with the 6.6 gasser and only 3.73 rear gearing. I stand corrected and thanks for the information.
Well the 6 speed sucks so....
nice video. back in 2003 i order a crewcab duramax loaded and wrote them a check for 38 thousand. my times have changed.
It can be said for anything buddy. Look at the cost of milk, bread, eggs, meat, lumber, houses etc..
How much were you making then vs now?
That was 20 years ago, the value of the dollar has significantly changed duhh.
@@Tallnerdyguy alot less lol
Timeline on testing an old “affordable” diesel? Would love to see a stock truck as well as one with a tune.
They wouldn't touch a tuned truck too much risk
That's not what TFL is about. They are journalists (they actually really are) that have connections to the manufacturers. Personally, I don't care about old trucks. There are TONS of videos on them if you really want to research them.
May I reccommend "Zip Ties and Bias Plies"? it's minty!
@@ryansheard8092 this was in response to them posting asking about this topic a week ago. It’s quite comparable when buying a 15-25 year old diesel and throwing on a tune and a couple parts can make very similar power to new trucks sold for 80k.
@@anthropicandroid4494 and always while having a Busch latte lol. Great channel
Excellent updates all around. Love the new look. I'm enjoying my custom ordered 2023 1500 6.2L LTZ with maxed out towing of 13,200 I received last Friday. Suspension is great, exterior looks tough and premium, and the updated screens are sick. Chevy/GM has been on fire with the updates.
every women ive met loves her 15OO
Didn't know they made a 1500 with a 6.2 mine had a 5.3
@@FirstGendodgegarage that's cute. And that's also sad that your truck is your identity for manhood 😂.
Trust me, I love the idea of a 3/4 but I have absolutely no need for it. I can tow my 32ft 7500lbs travel trailer no problem and even upgrade for bigger/heavier in the coming and still tow it with this set up. This is a beast for a 1/2. I'll spend the money I save elsewhere.
@@pete1735 You can get the 5.3, 6.2, or the 3.0 Duramax. I just got a Denali Ultimate and that was only available with the 6.2 or the Duramax and I got the Duramax. All that was available only truck in the area so not like I had a pick between the 2 lol. I found some with the 6.2 after but they were all 2-4 hours away.
Great video. The 2500 High Country looks great, but you will definitely need a step stool to do anything under the hood if you aren't 6 feet tall. The horsepower and torque numbers are keeping pace with the competition but instead of 475 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque, why not just push for 500 & 1000. Can't wait to see this beast tow; hopefully as a "Super Ike"! Also, I think viewers would be very interested in seeing the 6.6-liter gasser reviewed. Kudos to TFL Trucks for getting their hands on a 2024 model so early!
Because do you actually need it? It has crazy capability.
How much sales are they losing because of those numbers? Maybe they make more net profit by not investing to get those numbers.
And numbers don’t always tell the true tale. Even though the others are slightly higher, how much is actually “usable”. At what RPM too? I agree, are you going to know the difference between 975 and 1000?
focuses on power under teh curve, aka useable power range vs peak.
Hard to believe there's that many people out there able to spend 90k on a pickup, I'm sure not one.
There's something called financing.
@@squirt6729 A lot of people don’t spend 90k on a house let alone a truck
@@waterloo123100 lmao $90k for a house?!?! Maybe 15 years ago yeah, the average medium price for a house in the USA in 2023 is $400k. Just because you're broke doesn't mean every one else is.
@@squirt6729 maybe if you live near the coast 😂 My grand parents just sold one of their houses for 66k
@@waterloo123100 congrats on your grandparents for selling their trailer.
This reminded me of my 2017 1 ton van with the rear view camera mounted in the rear view mirror, thought I wouldn't like it until I used it, it was great, especially backing into loading docks and building overhead doors with the sun in your face.
The LT and the SLE also have the updated interior. The custom trim has the old interior. I work at flint
Funny how much these American manufacturers charge for destination, when Mercedes ‘only’ charges $900 to ship all the way from Germany 😂
Wrong. Merc builds most vehicles for US market in Alabama, some in Mexico. Only the high end AMG models come from Europe.
Don’t buy new=problem solved
They have a million stupid fees whenever you buy a vehicle. It’s asinine

I just got a 2024 2500 HD zr1 89,000 sticker 103.500 out the door tax tags and 6 year service pack.she is fully load midnight edition flat gray..im loving it
Roman and Andre is are the best combo they always make a joyful video 😂. Not saying the other isn't great. These two are just comedic and informative together.
I love the first thing outta the gate. The seats pretty firm......They can keep it.
The 2007- LT seats were so much more comfortable than the new High Country seats.
@@fordman2698 2007 seats were incredible. Steady decline ever since.
@@fordman2698 yeah, my 2002 1500 HD with the leather seats is awesome.
I think the peak for GM seats was the 00-06 trucks. My 06 LTZ had seats like a la-z-boy recliner. That truck was like driving a couch down the street and it was a fantastic truck to take on a road trip.
My 2014 seats were horrible and would make my legs go numb when on a long ride. Its one of the many reasons i got rid if it and bought a RAM.
It truly is remarkable that GM continues to make them more and more firm…requiring “break in time” if they ever get better. My 2022 was nearly traded in within a few thousand miles because it was literally painful to drive. It did finally break in and is comfortable (not like my ‘16 or ‘05 but at least ok). I just don’t understand of all things that’s where they fall short..
Andre, just wanted to correct you on your statement for the interior. Anything thats an LT and above gets the new dash, with digital gauges and big screen, only the Work truck and Custom get the older style interior (same with the 1500s)
Great vid! Would really have been nice if you were able to show the door stickers as you literally always do when reviewing a new truck. Perhaps you're not able to due to disclosure issues given it's so new? In any case that would answer the towing/payload and weight questions. Cheers!
Yeah, at the beginning of the video you said you were going to show the door sticker for the Payload, but then you got sidetracked talking about and demonstrating the mirror. So, what is the Payload for that specific truck?
When you are 73 years old with arthritis nothing is easy about getting into the back of these trucks even with the lever to hold onto
My two concerns with the engine block eater plug in the bumper. One, you need a special cord. Don't lose it. Two, when it's cold and snowy that little cover will be frozen shut with ice and snow. The grill area is warmer.
Regardless, I'll probably buy a new one in 2025.
Fairbanks resident here! Too bad we usually don’t use that outlet because we have an oil pan heater, transmission pan heater, battery heaters, along with the block heater plugged into the same junction. I drilled out a bigger hole on my 2020 2500 and installed a NOCO GCP1 15A AC Port Plug to plug into the junction box…so still a clean hook up for all the heaters we use up here. Hopefully GM fixed all the DEF issues with the 24s.
And the LT model I built online comes with the big displays. The work truck versions still has the old radio display.
I have a 23 3500 SRW. It's been a good truck so far. I've towed for 4,000 miles with 13K, it does well. I wish the fuel tank was bigger than 36 gal. Ford has a great idea with the 48 gallon in the longbeds.
I'm picking up a 62 gallon S&B fuel tank for my 2500hd after this work season. Look into it, definitely worth the upgrade.
You can get the updated interior in the LT as well. Not just the LTZ and HC. Just the LTZ and HC come with the updated exterior. LT comes with the previous exterior with some minor changes.
In reference to the stiff seats. I just bought a 2023 GMC. The seats were quite stiff but after 1k miles they’re breaking in nicely and have softened up quite a bit. Same for the suspension.
I had a 2020 Denali 2500 with the Duramax. The seats were horrible, I sold it with about 12,000 miles on it. Im 225.they never broke in. I hope these are better.
My 2022 half ton AT4 seats were stiff for about 6 months. Then they break in and are great.
My wife's 23 Tahoe high country has higher quality leather and softer seats than my 22 ZR2 that is equipped same as high country. I think work trucks and sport trucks are made firmer on purpose.
I have a 2022 Sierra 1500 Denali and I have no complaints about the seats. I find them super comfortable. I’m not a huge guy though so that may make a difference
Most improved front end award in history!
Doesn’t look as good as 14-18 but looks 10x better than the previous generation
15-19 you mean.
@@samuelw.3992 yes

Front-end light styling reminds me of an Outlander 🤔😆
Go Flintstones!
I cannot wait to see the towing wars!
Put that rig in tow/haul mode and run it in manual. My 22 ZR2 1500 with the 6.2L launches hard in tow haul and runs through the 10 speed very smoothly. I'm rolling 525HP in my Duramax and I'd say it's similar given weight differential.
At 12:46 you mentioned that the upgraded interior is only gonna be for the LTZ and High Country, but the LT will have it as well!
I was saying that lt it’s an option too.
Mr Truck and Andre needed to review this together. Roman makes Andre nervous and you can tell.
Man.. my dream truck right there! Ill have one in 5 years hopefully. Too expensive right now
I have the 24 LTZ and just didn’t see the need to pay the extra for the high country. Only thing I’m missing is the automatic running boards and 20” rims, and I wanted the 18” rims. Saved me about 10k! Would definitely opt for LTZ if you want basically the same truck.
Yes I have a fully loaded '18 dually LTZ and it is the same as high country without the badges.
Needs a big ass chrome bumper that looks like a Perterbilt!
I love my ram 1500 limited but after buying a new boat that exceeds the capacity of any half ton truck I will be moving up to a 3/4 ton. the 2024 refresh for gm hd is very appealing to me, the looks inside and out as well as power numbers are impressive all at a much lower price than a ram with the Cummins or a ford power stroke. I believe I’ll be making a switch.
You need a diesel to tow a boat? What the hell are you towing, a yacht? I’m sure any of the gas engines in the new HD’s would be sufficient.
great comment , literally every woman who drives a 15OO says the same thing
Just wanted to point out you said the digital display and large screen are only for LTZ and high country but it is also on the LT model. It is not on the Custom or WT.
Best looking heavy duty from Chevrolet in years!
The front end styling doesn't make me want to hurl anymore, so that's a decent improvement over the previous generation. I can't image what GM's designers and ergonomic people were thinking putting the SAME SIZE KNOB for the lights and 4WD controls right next to each other. Nice of GM to pilfer yet another Ford idea with the fold-away grab handle in the bed. Overall, I think the Ford and Ram are a bit more appealing.
You really need to get a gas engine truck. The 10 speed has made big difference in tow ratings and I’d really love to see you review it.
The 10 speed is also littered with problems
@@waterloo123100 all the reports I’ve heard say the the Allison 10 speed in the HD trucks has been very reliable. Given that they will be mounting the same trans to an engine that makes around half the peak torque I’d expect the thing to be utterly bulletproof.
Internet rumor. Just like the oil consumption crap. My brother has had 2 Duramax with the Allison 10 speeds. Over 150,000 miles on each and 0 issues.
Pontiac Aztec of trucks, if I'm getting a GM HD the AT4 with 6.6 gas 10 speed in thunderstorm gray would be the pick. For now I'm more pleased with my baby max
Some of the Chevy HDs are made in Canada, GMC HDs are still made in Flint Michigan along with the remaining Chevys.
I am waiting for you guys to do a review on the 6.6 gas 10-speed transmission. I want to see a review before I order one.
The larger screen is standard on the LT and higher!!! Not just LTZ and High Country...
it looks so good now
I like the interior. It even has a man shifter! none of that weak wristed push button jazz.
Lt model 2024 comes with full digital everything My brother bought one yesterday
I wish they would offer the option to have shifter in the console. Sporty looking & feel.
It might look ugly on camera but when you see it in person it's really not that bad!
GM has had the best engine and transmission since the Duramax came out, now the interior is the best as well... looks like a great ride, too bad it comes with a 30 year mortgage lol
Only on the heavy duty and inline 6 duramax in the 1500
The 5.3 and 6.2 are problematic with lifter issue , bent pushrods and other issues , I wouldn’t call it the best
For reference...ordered a 2023 SRW F350 platinum, tremor, 6.7H.O., $102,250 MSRP. X Plan brings it to $95550. Ordered October 27th....if I get it by fall, I will be impressed.
A great looking truck, inside and out! I would buy one and I don't need to tow anything.
Wowowowow man that little change they did on the front is huge! Cz it still looks beefy as it must but without making the headlight a two sections part. Man I have wet dreams with this truck.

Yes! FAI Average winter Temps -25°, when they rise to "0", they will literally break out the shorts😂!
The truck is pretty cool too. The front plug is nice!
Around -10F actually, but a lot of 20-50 below from Nov- March
@TaigaTurf I flew in & out of FAI regularly. I was also born in "OTZ", otherwise known as Kotzebue. 180 miles North of the Arctic Circle. & unlike the ⬜️ folks in Colorado who Claim to be Native. I actually am Native, Inupiaq Eskimo.
So yeah, FAI's average in the Winter months is 25 below Zero. & like where "I" was born, CAN EASILY get to 100 Below Zero. One of my last flights into FAI. We were grounded(flew with AS)for 4 days. Why? Because fairbanks was hovering between at the Warmest 91 Below Zero to its coldest of 97 Below Zero. With crystallized ice fog, when it hit your face. Feels like a million needles hitting it.
Anyway, not a noob to Alaska.

Really wish you guys would put a well optioned HD with the L8T 6.6 gas powerplant to the test and reviews. I think a lot of us are thinking the gap has closed with the Duramax and are not sure if the price premium for the Duramax is worth it any longer.
If you are towing or hauling, then it's worth it. If you are just being a jackass just red light gunning it, probably not.
I tow a 13,000 lb 5th wheel with a F250 6.2l and it works just fine, and saved $10,000 over the diesel to put toward the trailer and gas and the kids’ college savings accounts.
@@charliefowler4874 not to mention all the DEF you would need to fill. I’m seriously considering the same.
Got to watch the gas trucks, the way GM works the GVWR, the derated ones won’t pull a midsize fifth wheel. It will pull it, but the derated GVWR makes you over weight.
Just bought this very truck, today, traded a gas 2022 derated to 10k GVWR, with my midsize fifth wheel I was 80 lbs from being overweight with half of my stuff loaded. Also, didn’t pull very well.
Z71 edition is the one I like
I had to come back to this video to leave this comment. You mentioned that Ford's doing there drl with the seed to the outside of the car and Chevy and GM are doing the sea towards the grill, but GMCs are still doing it like the Ford probably to distinguish themselves from the Chevys!
Keep up the good work. Still rocking my 2015 GMC Yukon with 175,000 miles on it. I'm always amazed when I take out one of our 2022 crew cab Chevy 3500 6.6l gas engine that I can get better gas mileage than I can in my truck 😂.
So they made the Silverado look more like the Sierra. Good thing, the Sierra is a gorgeous truck. The lights and block heaters have been around for a while, they are very useful. The multi flex tailgate is awesome and extremely useful, A lot of people are curious about the 6.6 gas with the 10 speed, me too. Please test it as soon as you can.
It's a wonder that block heater plug isn't damaged more often considering how low it is and that it's on that lower cheap plastic portion of the bumper cover
@@SuperCJification How would a person damage it unless they screw up? (and that's on them) I have been driving for well over 40 years and have never damaged the front of any vehicle I've owned. My current 2006 3500 front end remains undamaged to this day. My "lower cheap plastic portion" is original and unbroken. Just say'in.
Nice looking truck but I'd never consider spending that much for one of these. Pricing has gotten beyond insane. A 1500 now costs more than I paid for my 2015 GMC 2500HD . . . Not to mention the fact diesel is still hovering around $5.00/gallon here.
More excited about the 6.6 gasser w the 10 speed!
My Denali is on order and can't wait
How long did it take? Curious because I recently ordered too.
Now if only they added a heater for the fuel system and DEF system so they don't freeze in winter. That bricked by 2022 3500 AT4 Duramax when I really needed it on a cold Vermont day (I suspect those Fairbanks folks would have that issue too!!). Since I did not need the towing capacity anymore, I traded it for a gas truck. The GMC also had a major module issue that went bad and I had no ABS, AWD/4WD, traction control, cruise control, etc! Loved that truck but hated it too... sometimes I miss it then it gets cold and I can start my gas truck and don't miss it anymore! ;)
They do have DEF heaters. Two of them.
@@sconner Mine sure did not work if they had them on the 2021. Now I understand why people have them deleted.
@@jean-sebastienlatouche3678 I totally get deleting the crap. My 2016 has had a DEF heater replaced twice.

For that price it’s pretty good.
Tune your diesel trucks. Doesnt matter if you’re young or old and you’re wanting huge power or a casual driver, Working truck or daily driver. I habe. 2023 high country. I have it tuned, i use it for work and casual driving all over the place. 5 different power levels and it makes driving my fun more fun and truthfully if i drive casually i get way better fuel milage than stock. Waiting on trans tune to show up now. Should make it shift a lot less lazy!
Really enjoy your videos, I have a question a little off this HD truck. Why don't they make a Suburban in a 2500/ 6.6 diesel? I mean there are a ton of families that have 3-5 kids ,dogs ect.. I bought a 22' suburban with the 3.0, I had to trade in my 20' silverado 2500 for the extra room. The 3.0 pulls my boats fine but loaded down it will not pull a large camper or toy hauler. For many a suburban HD with the big Duramax would be the ultimate vehicle. Do you think they will ever release one?
Thank you
They do make an HD suburban, sold to government only though. Wish they would sell to consumer, would sell like hot cakes
Gotttdangggg it. I can never have a new truck. Right away the new one comes out.
Don’t know about this but you can order a lightning right now lol Just submitted my order
TFL, have you asked anyone at GM why they insist on firm seats? No one seems to like them.
Would love that question to be asked of GM. We are in the market for a 3/4 later this year for towing an RV. If we are going to be spending doing hours driving seat comfort is a critical parameter and could be a deal killer on a truck I'd otherwise consider. Why make the seats so firm?
They are firm when new but break in nice. Plus a really soft seat stretches the stitching and comes apart.
@@dongarrison2668 22k miles on my truck and still way too firm.... I'd rather have to redo the seat after 100k miles or so rather than be uncomfortable
My wife and I are looking seriously at a 2024 Sierra 3500 Duramax. Its primary use would be to tow our RV. Thus, much of our driving will be 4 - 6 hour trips. Having uncomfortable seats would be a big negative. Our GMC dealer has not received any 2024 HD trucks yet, so we've not had a chance to sit in the seats and take it for a drive.
Wow, 88,000 for a 3/4 ton high country. My wife and I have a 19 one ton dually diesel cclb 4wd ltz and that was 73,000. These prices are getting to be a bit much. We're a chevy family that love our trucks but the prices are really high. Glad we got ours when we did. You guys did a great job on this beautiful truck. Thanks for sharing.
I think GM Ford Ram can just keep them at these Insane prices come on people
Well it's 2023 now..nothing costs the same as 2019
$73,000 from 2019 is now worth $85,901 due to inflation. You can get a loaded LTZ for that price, and it will have more features than your 2019. The car market isn't as inflated as people think it is. The whole economy is.
What I want to know...have they finally stopped waxing the frame and start painting it?
no, it's a self healing coating, and judging by gm panel paint......... you wouldn't want them to paint your frame.
Looks like they wheel wells are big enough to run 37s!
Wow my dad would love that truck he had a 2002 Silverado high country 2500 Duramax
Was the High Country even a trim available back then? I thought things topped out with LTZ or something like that.
Still driving my 2002 Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab 4x4 with 8.1 . Would buy it again brand new in a second.
High country wasn't available in the heavy duties til 2015
What a cool job… drive and test trucks…. Tell everyone about them just like a truck driver.
I’ve bought 6 hd trucks in the last 20 years and due a new one right now. At 90k I will never own another. That’s twice what I paid for the 16 model I currently have. The workmanship is not any better nor the reliability. I’ll just keep on trucking with what I have and invest my 100k in something that gains in value.
just had one come avaiable at my dealer in sudbury, ask for mike martin!
Wrong about the upgraded interior…the LT trim level is also upgraded, which is probably the most common trim level sold for Chevrolet.
Looks good. Still a RAM guy myself!
I haven’t read all the comments but has anyone mentioned that he was incorrect when he said only LTZ and High Country get the new interior? The LT also gets the new interior. I feel like that’s a very important thing to note, considering no competitor offers those kind of “higher-trim” features in their lower trim trucks. The fact that someone, who doesn’t care much for flashy veneers, can still get those screens in an LT is a hugely smart move on Chevy’s part.
Oh my! So nice looking!
Funny the seats are “firm” comment if they didn’t change the high country seat then be prepared for pain , I am selling a 22 high country for that reason
Has anyone ever had problems with the power steps and then getting iced up in the winter, I'd like to get a set but am worried they may break in the nasty Canadian weather.
nice review. i really like the idea of the steps on the front and back of the bed. the engine block heater is really thought out too. cant wait to see it on the gauntlet.
We all care about the interior ,mpg,say if it’s diesel or not ,navigation on both screens,all those features
I got a 07 and sometimes want a new 1. But I get about 15 mpg highway so mayne I'll continue to wait. 😊
I'm seriously considering a new 2024 Sierra with the 6.6 liter gas engine or a Ford with the 7.3. I'm looking forward to Ike tow and mpg tests.
Or now for 2024 ford has the 6.8 to me no difference to the 7.3
We have a 6.6 gas with the 6 speed transmission and a Ford 7.3. Both tow mini excavators (about 15k lbs.) Both are pretty comfortable towing the weight. The Ford has more power, the gm gets better mpg. Gm gets about 18mpg unloaded, Ford gets 13 unloaded. Loaded gm is about 10mpg, Ford is 8mpg.
