Ok Hoovie, you asked at 1:51 Where I worked last for the Forest Service (Gila National Forest, Glenwood District), one of our Range Technicians had a RAM 2500 long wheelbase, manual, but 4x4 instead of 2wd. He used it to haul horse trailers with pack stock to travel into our two Congressionally designated wilderness areas, because motorized and mechanized equipment is forbidden in such places under the Wilderness Act of 1964. The manual transmission was necessary for engine braking...this part of New Mexico has a mountain range, and there are a fair amount of steep roads we used regularly. I would imagine that this vehicle was chosen for a permanent employee who had seasonal help and-or volunteers (hence the reason for the full cab), who used it to haul trailers as well as tools. And I bet he/she specifically requested a manual transmission, possibly due to traveling into a hilly or mountainous work environment. But the final decision goes to the fleet manager. It is likely that the individual wanted a 4x4, but couldn’t acquire one due to budget or lack of availability.

If your talking about compression release engine brakes gas engines dont have those, and all modern gm autos or dodge autos have a tow haul mode feature that locks the converter and downshifts sooner acting as an engine break. Manuals are always better for long heavy haul towing, no converter slip, no friction, no heat, no 48re go boom boom. Well Those are the reasons I can see from the knowledge I have.

He made well into the six figures and could have afforded a new truck with no issue, but never saw the need to have one when the old Yukons served him so well and were perfect for taking on his frequent hunting/camping trips.

Lol my parents had a 2004 Toyota Sienna lasted us 480k miles. NOTHING done to it! Only oil changes and air filter changes.

This hits close to home for me. Years ago, my friend's dad had a 2003-2005 era chevy 2500 HD duramax. I remember the thing that surprised me the most about it was how well it rode for being a 3/4 ton. Thick cushioned seats combined with nice tall sidewall tires equated to a ride that was shockingly smooth and surpasses that of modern cars. Also that pre-emissions duramax was reliable, and powerful, without any unnecessary garbage on it. By contrast, I had a 2008 sierra 1500 with a 5.3 vortec with cylinder deactivation. That thing had a nasty lifter tick that would come and go and was embarrassing. Also, the seats were certainly stiffer and less comfortable. Further complicating this was a leveling kit and some wheels and tires from a 2014+ era SLT / Denali. End result was a very rough riding and uncomfortable vehicle that was plagued with mechanical issues. One of the biggest generational downgrades in truck history.

Personally I have seen one of these GM trucks with almost 600,000 miles on it. But it was automatic and the transmission had been rebuilt once

We called them the “Green Fleet” in the day. Ours was just a two door bench seat auto type.

These are the last of the trucks where basic maintenance was designed for the owner. Headlights are super easy to access, enough room to access the spark plugs, basically more common items are easy to replace and access on these. The box sectioned frame is nice because it's easy to clean out and you can really oil it well to keep corrosion at bay. Not to mention how ridiculously simple the engines are. The transmissions do need to be rebuilt with better parts in order to make them drive/ shift better and not gear hunt so much.

My dad bought an avalanche in 2004, he drove until he passed away last month, quarter of a million miles, it was the truck I learned to drive on. It’s got 16 yo spark plugs in it and they are just now starting to mis-fire, it needs some work, but once it’s running again It’ll be good for another quarter million. Love these trucks

I bought a 99 GMC Suburban last February with 289k on it. The damn 350 in it just needed a set of plugs and a new cap and rotor and she pops off like a champ. The frame and body are in excellent condition as well, because the previous owners didn't fix any of the oil leaks. Up north, there are no such thing as oil leaks, just external lubrication distribution systems.

My dad has the same rig! 6.0, 3/4 ton crew cab NV4500 and 4x4 with the beautiful forest service green! He put a bumper on it for deer and cows and a flatbed for feeding cows. :)

Because you don’t always need 4x4 even on dirt roads. The long bed is more utilitarian and the 5 speed is better on dirt when pulling in rough roads. The BLM used similar configuration for their wild horse program. My mom had a state spec 89 3/4 suburban stick shift with manual select hubs. 17 mpg with skinny mud terrain tires and never got stuck in mid or snow in the mountains. I’d buy it in a Heartbeat. 😜

I love that Hoovie is truly an unbiased car enthusiast, I don’t care what brand you’re a fan of, I’ve ALWAYS said that 1999-07 Chevy pickups were the absolute most bulletproof trucks and engines ever built, those trucks literally never died, you see so many hammered ones with 450k on Craigslist that still run immaculate with original engine and trans. The fords and dodged of the time were absolute garbage time bombs. Chevy has always been about simplicity and practicality. That’s why they last.

Loved seeing a truck like that.. Great job !
