Same here, shopping for a 2500 silverado to replace my 2011 1500 Ram which by the way has been the best, most reliable and comfortable truck I've ever owned and I'll be dang sad to see it go. It only has 70000 miles and looks mint. Oh well, got my sights on the 2500 ZR2, yikes.

Beauty of a truck & nice video. I've been looking for 4-5 months now. Have watched 4 different 2500s at 4 different dealerships all go within 2 weeks of finding them. I am completely amazed how quickly these HDs are selling at these insane prices AND especially these interest rates ! People are obviously ok with 1,000+ payments per month or paying for 7-8yrs I guess. Looking like I will order one eventually to get what I want.

You are right, it’s crazy how fast the GM and Chevy 2500 are moving. There is inventory of F250 and Ram 2500 out there. Yes I’m definitely happy with the purchase and ordering is always a good way to go. This truck just happened to have the exact options I was looking for. I wanted all the tow tech, big screen, cloth seats. I would love to have a diesel with leather int. But that’s not in the price range. This build hit all the options, price, and color I wanted. Tires are the only thing that will affect payload. This truck with the off road package still had one of the highest payload and towing out there. I know you can order the 2500 with a 1 ton frame. Seems popular with the camper crowd. You just have to watch your state laws for GVWR.

@@cabinviewventures Curious now you've had her a couple months more....what kind of mileage are you getting ? Mine is set to be built Feb 5th I believe. Hopefully it'll take a month + to get delivered so salt season is over & I can get it home dry. My 2016 will become the "beater" daily driver. It's a 1500 but has never seen the salt so it's really in great shape. I do worry tho about the 5.3 lifter issue. Any other thoughts/ideas on the 2500/6.6 gas would be appreciated.

Just picked up our 2500 LT with the gasser.. I can't believe how strong it is with the Allison. Our gasser is 10850 GVW, 18400 max tow and 3540 Payload. I could not ask for anything more.

Nice truck. I personally like the Ford F350 XLT Premium which is somewhat packaged like what you bought but then again Ford, GM and RAM all make nice trucks these days. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person that feels you have to spend $100k for coolness on a truck but is happy with just a well balanced package truck for a little more reasonable price (considering what everything cost these days).

If you build the truck on the Chevy website there are no options for axle ratio with the gas engine. 3.73 period! I have an 2024 LT and don't tow much so for fuel economy I would like a 3.42 BUT I bought an HD truck. Love it so far

@cabinviewventures

5 ай бұрын

Not sure why they only offer the 3.73. I know Ford has a bunch of options for axle ratio. Not sure about Ram.

given that this truck takes 87 octane, when you really sit down and do the math, you’re not using much more gas compared with the 6.2 L V8 in the 1500. Plus, this engine will be more reliable as it has no auto start/stop, no cylinder deactivation, and no active fuel management.

Thanks! This was a very unexpected purchase for me because I was really set on the F250. This truck was just much nicer in person. Fit and finish, materials and ride. Right now I’m at 600 miles. Averaging 12 mpg city and 14 highway. Not great but I have been towing and hauling light loads. I would expect 17 highway once it breaks in and hopefully 14-15 city.

I only had about 500 miles but towed a light load, 2500 lbs. I think 1,000 miles is the magic number. I can’t imagine contractors of fleet buyers are doing a proper break in before towing.
