I have a 400hp V10 that gets 9mpg loaded. When your little truck blows up I'll come haul it away, because mine will still be running and I'll still have spent less that you.

When I saw the title re Inline 6 not dead, i thought immediately of the 4.2 L straight 6 gas motor that I enjoyed in both a trailblazer and an envoy... That was an awesome motor! Variable exhaust, lots of power, and durable. I put over 400,000 km (240000 miles) on both with no issues, and I drove those hard! Pair that motor with a modern transmission and i think they would have a winner on power, MPG and durability.

Thx for the great REVIEW , my nephew bought his 2022 GMC 1500 4x4 SLE package with the 3.0 diesel and uses it tow the trailer for his industrial electrical business and laughs when he passes the fuel station , empty he has been averaging over 30 .5 mpg to our Canadian gallon and it has never failed to start this winter and we set a record for the most number of days below -30 degrees and it started every day, its a great engine

Hey guys. Glad y’all are still doing the Break Check also. I’ll let y’all do a review on my Supra. The truck video was awesome but I still love the Tundras. Keep up the great job 👏 y’all might make me what a truck again.

Just found this channel and really like the no nonsense approach to the reviews/testing. So many of these car and truck channels have gotten too gimmicky and their content doesn't speak to the average buyer.

Such a good video and format guys! Love it!

Just got one This week! An Rst z71 Texas, 3.0 Duramax. Love it!

I purchased the baby diesel for towing my RVs, being able to go farther between fill-ups when in tow, and most importantly.....being able to fuel up in the big rig lanes in tow without having to maneuver around cars and tight gas stations. I didn't need the HD platform, I like the 1500 ride quality, I simply wanted a better fueling experience when towing. I believe the diesel was several thousand dollars more, so I could buy a lot of regular gas with that money. However, after spending 35 minutes boxed in a gas station with my travel trailer behind me while some idiot in front of me decided to get gas, not move from pump after fueling up, eat, and whatever else he did for 35 minutes, I knew it was time for a change. My intent was never to "save" money in MPG, I want to save aggravation.

With these modern boosted power plants ( both gas and diesel) (Whether you like Fords or Chevys) you would a fool to leave efficiency on the table with a NA V8. Trucks and turbos go together like peanut butter and jelly. The only thing I wish the big three would do is offer the diesel motor in lower trim levels.

LOL Not even close. The El Camino was a car with a bed.

I have to ask what sort of crack they were smoking to make the oil pump driven by a belt, much less a belt that requires the removal of the transmission to change? That seems like an Isuzu-style brain fart.

Tough crowd below. Those that own one and posted below averaged 26 miles to the gallon is accurate. In the review they posted 21? I have three family members that have one, and average 25 to 28 MPG. One who pulls a 16' twin axle trailer gets 23. Not a big fan of the LTZ, too much money for the option. My wife's that we pick up today is an LT with every option but cameras and leather and MSRP is $59K which is $14K more than my sons 2021 which has the same equipment, but the market is just messed up today. My wife's 5.3 LT has averaged 18 to 19 MPG for the 76,000 miles. Even though there is almost a $1 a gallon difference between gas/diesel with the difference in fuel mileage the diesel is still cheaper on fuel. Def usage is minimal on the 3.0 versus the 6.6 Duramax. Izuzu has been making diesels for delivery trucks for 40+ years. Somethings people forget before Chevy and Ford got with Japanese companies it was check the gas and fill with oil every 200 miles. I remember the Cummins inline 6 from the 90's. I was sitting at a red light in 2001 with my new 6.6 duramax when one pulled up next to me and it was so loud I no longer could hear my engine nor the radio with my windows rolled up. The only positive thing was the 22 mpg and they lasted. At 21 years old and 300K miles my 6.6 is still taking me to work when I need a truck.

That could happen at any bad dealership. It's not a GM thing. You got a lemon, they should have fixed it.

is the Z71 the same then as the X31 pretty much useless too? it's about over 1k upcharge

Government Motors (GM) makes unreliable gas engines, so if you absolutely must have a GM for some reason, I suggest that you go with the 3.0 diesel. Of course you'll still have non-engine related problems, but hey. You get what you pay for.... ;)

@@panthermartin7784 It's not "my malfunction" that we're talking about here. We're talking about GM's horrible quality and subpar engineering. The newer it is, the bigger piece of shit it is. If that offends you, you're the one with a malfunction. I'm happy for you, but your anadoctal evidence doesn't help those who have learned the truth the hard way.

40 years of being a diesel mechanic that engine is a disaster waiting to happen as most Duramax are the chain there’s not gear gear on the back is going to be an issue don’t buy these trucks unless you’re going to trade them often there shortly of all Duramax

You kept referring to the nose of the truck ...It's not the nose of the truck, it's the chin!!! Hence the term chin spoiler, which is exactly what you were scraping!

Unbelievable you test a truck and don’t give its trailing capabilities wth?

I don't like the idea of it at all

OVER PRICE

Looks like a Toyota

@@TexanUSMC8089 so are these. They had to recall a bunch of ‘19s and 20’s because the rear ends weren’t being properly torqued and we’re leaving the line with the equivalent of over 100k miles of wear. I like Mexicans, but if you’ve ever been there and experience the level of workmanship that most of them have, you probably wouldn’t want to drive a car made by them.

Wtf. No timing belts! Jesus! Good otherwise
