@@SDRacing88 If a Silverado got the suspension tech of the ZR2, it could compete pretty well with the Raptor. Spool valve shocks are superior to the shim and disk shocks that the Raptor uses. The torsen front diff in the Raptor would be preferrable to the ZR2's front locker for desert stuff. Other than that, I don't see any area that the Raptor would have a clear advantage in. I know one disadvantage of the Raptor. Those IWE front hubs that Ford uses in their old school vacuum-actuated 4WD are a well-known weakness. Between vacuum leaks and the Torsen's ability to chew the IWE's up with ease, it's a problem that a lot of guys have to fix with mods.

Steve Mad Maxin it in the Chevy Trail Boss ! Happy Independence Day !

Great review! I will be checking out more of your videos in the future. I have never driven a 6.2L GM, but I highly endorse the 5.3L engine. I had a 2000 Silverado 5.3 that currently sits at 330k+ miles, my dad has an '06 GMC with the 4.8L (same block, different stroke) that probably will hit 400k miles in the next few weeks. I picked up a '19 Trail Boss Custom in September and was very impressed with the improved performance versus all the old GM stuff I had driven. Again, I haven't driven a 6.2 and I am not familiar with their durability, but, in my opinion, you can't beat the durability of the 5.3 and I have been happy with the performance trailering ~5,000 pounds with my new Silverado.

Agreed with the many comments below, your reviews are great man. Keep them coming.

Just make sure you keep the thing undercoated with fluid film or some kind of oil and you should have a truck that might last you more than 10 yrs.

Man thought this video would never drop, Been craving to see the TrailBoss in that hardcore trail. Well I'll seat back and relax.

The filming on this video was really cool with the side by side following. Hopefully you can do this on more videos.

I've been waiting for this video

Happy Canada n USA day👍Truck yeah I wanted you say truck yeah.

Awesome video. Love that theres a TFL Canada. In case you didnt know, I didnt until recently, in the owners manual it states "sport" mode actually changes the steering feel as well. Not a lot, but it is noticeable. Sport mode cuts back some of the electric power steering assist and gives a bit more steering feedback. The new 2019 Rancho suspension is SO much better than the 2018s too. I find my new 19 rides 100x smoother than my 2018 did. I drive a 2019 X31 Sierra not a trail boss though

Love that you actually did something in the mud, not like the other truck review guys do.

RAM TRUCKS I’d say 2019/2020 is junk years for trucks in general. But, with the exception of design of course. For towing heavy loads, I’d go with a Silverado. Towing under 10k, I’d do an f150. Luxury truck, I’d do a ram. The only thing I don’t like about the 1500 Silverado is the laggy 8 and 10 speeds. I don’t even know how it was possible to ruin the shifts in those but for some reason these years they just aren’t tuned properly. That’s like my only issue with any of the trucks for these years.

The G80 works excellent - I have had a few, they never let me down. But I hate how they all rake the windshields on these new trucks. Makes me love my 16 JKU even more.

I have a 5.3L in my Z71 with 4.10 gears and my friend has a Procharger on his 5.3L Z71 that really makes some great power (12.4 second 1/4 mile) but I can only imagine having a 6.2L to start (and then add boost!).

Nice video dude!

Have a 2014 Silverado 4X4 Off-road LTZ Double Cab. Recently, while towing a 7000 lb Winnebago travel trailer, I had the misfortune (bad sense) of pulling off the road onto and into the red clay/mud berm of a rural New Mexico highway. Immediately upon leaving the pavement the truck/trailer combo began sliding sideways. I immediately engaged the 4WD and, though we were still slip-sliding and had little traction, our Silverado pulled us back onto solid pavement. We were amazed at the power and stability of the truck to pull itself and the travel trailer out of a situation that surely would have cost many dollars for extrication. It rained shortly thereafter and washed nearly all of the mud from the truck and trailer. We praised God for giving us the wherewithal to get us out of the situation safe and sound and allowing us to get home to Ohio safely. To God be the glory.

I love the front end but the rear they could have done better
