2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Z71 Truck Reviewed

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Ryan goes on an easy adventure in the 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD truck with the Z71 off-road package.
*This review was filmed prior to the addition of The Ladder off-road test at our Mountain Playground. Our inability to find a “challenging” test for this large vehicle in part led to the new course design.

    You can get adaptive cruise and all the safety features on $20k cars (e.g. Kia Forte). But, on higher cost vehicles they will cost an additional $5k on higher cost vehicles. It makes no sense at all.

    So when do truck manufacturers start angling the hood UPWARD away from the road so that they can fit an even larger front end. Visibility obviously isn't the greatest concern. There's a chart somewhere that shows that the average tractor-trailer hauler has better visibility than these new pickups.

    Good review! I agree that it is bogus that a vehicle of this price does not even have adaptive cruise control. But, the truck seems very capable off road, compared to the smaller vehicles we usually see tested. Lots of clearance and good angles. But I'm confused: on that very last test, was the rear locker engaged, or not? Did you try it 1st without the locker? Or, does this have the G80 auto locker? I bet that is it, I missed it if that was mentioned.

But yeah it should have a few features fir the money (LED headlights for one) Still a great truck, love mine Pretty sure in the states you can get adaptive cruise with conv pkg 2 on LT

The visibility in bad weather and in traffic blows away any car. When on a road trip with family, everyone gets a great view of the outside. My parents bought vacation VW bugs for our “save $$” drives to school or runs to the grocery store (74 miles away) and they certainly had a purpose.

    Also if you are getting this same truck with the V8 gas engine not the Duramax diesel that’s automatically 10k less. In a lower trim without cameras and fancy tailgate and white color it’s also at least another 5k less. So you can get this truck in gas V8, white no options for probably 60k or less. Still a lot but a higher end midsize truck cost that much or more with a turbo V4. So compared to that it’s almost reasonable price.
