I'm not personally going to buy this because yes, it's a lot of money. But let's play devils advocate here... People only think it's not a great value because it's a truck. If you try to find any luxury brand that makes a pickup, you're not going to find one. High end trucks are very competitive with luxury vehicles. Screens everywhere. Heated and cooled seats (sometimes even in the rear). Massaging seats. Lots of safety features. And in recent years, increased amounts of premium materials. The closest thing you'll find is a large luxury suv that can tow a somewhat large amount, but you'll be starting at $100k. And won't have a bed. So it is kind of a value luxury vehicle. But luxury vehicles are inherently a bad value to begin with.

I'm a current GMC owner. If GM thinks I'm paying subscriptions in addition to buying their truck they're very wrong! I've heard all new trucks are going to have a included $1500 dollar 3 year subscription to onstar that's can't be removed. This is GM greed and an attempt to suck monthly cash from their customers. That said, my current GMC may be the last GM I ever own. I'm not paying a subscription for basic feature that should be included when spending 75K for a freaking vehicle.

I hate anything on a car that requires a subscription service. Our lives are becoming living hell of subscription services. I used to be a gm fan boy but screw them and their onstar sub services. I'd pay extra for a one time up front fee for some of these services but not monthly. Where do they get off thinking people want this? I lost features on my 2014 Seirra in 2020 because they up and decided to make the phone keyfob app a sub service connected to onstar. And then you hear companies like BMW are looking into making you pay sub services for things like heated seats? IMO they are looking to make all car options in thr future sub services so they can continue milking buyers of their cars past warranties and after the first owner. When did the car stop being mine and something I'm renting from the car company? I'm just bloody tired of the Nickle and diming. It's no wonder people are looking to get base model vehicles more often now. I'd rather just have a basic car then gm milking my bank account 20 to 100 bucks a month for something I spend at most an hour a day in.

Its not just trucks, cars and SUVs are more expensive too. A lot of customers want all the luxury features of a luxury vehicle in a truck. Add in the supply chain constraints along with the basic economics of supply and demand…all of which creates higher prices. If the demand was less for buying a truck they’d cost much less. The High Country is top of line…go look at Ford and Ram’s top of the line trucks and you’ll find they are even more expensive.

No 1/2 ton truck is a "deal" at $73k. Not even at $53k...

Andre, your analysis is excellent!

One more thing. The way the small upper glove box opens. It's spring loaded, but not dampened; so, the door flings up until it hits the bump stops, causing it to bounce off of them and vibrate to a stop. These small details matter. Thankfully, Andre pointed out soft points (or lack of) on the door panel. Here in the US, we need KZread auto reviewers, to be testers; not just advertisers for automakers. For example: CarExpert, from Australia, and most European testers. They can sound critical, but they force car companies to do better. I had to edit this to add, TFL are doing some good testing, also, here in the US, Savagegeece, are real testers, but apparently automakers hold back some cars from them.

Here’s my take on the automatic running boards, my last truck was a 2017 High Country with them. They were great for older passengers . They were also great to use when loading small children into car seats. I also felt like they would extend the life on the edge of the drivers side seat. I drove the truck before that one for 15 years and that edge was completely wore out.

Always love Andre's commentary on new vehicles he does a great job and yes Chevy is the least expensive out of all the truck brands You could also get that truck in the LT version without all the Bells and whistles and still some good luxury for about 10000 less

I purchased a 22 HC a month ago. It was used with 1K miles and listed under MSRP for sale by $800. With the 5.3, fixed steps, and solid tailgate, the list is less than 68K. The solid tailgate has electric lift and close. The tri-fold tailgate does not. The steps work good for me and my wife since we are short. The 5.3 is enough for me. This truck has more payload at 1600#. I traded in my 2018 that I purchased in 2019. I was allowed $5800 more for my 2018 than I paid for it in 2019. They are priced too high but we could afford it so we bought it. Cherry red tint. It's gorgeous. We love it.

GM goes with cheap interior materials and charges premium price, always have. It's about time they made one that is worth what they charge.

While I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but there's no big 3 full-size truck, that's worth over $70k!!! Leaf springs are from the 70's, switches from the parts bin are still being leveraged from the 90's, that doesn't cost anything to build, especially when they make 100k trucks a year. Nevertheless, thanks for the video! Love the channels!

The sidestep is useful when you are 5’8” tall. Even more so because I have a seriously messed up back. Not everyone is y’3” tall. I agree the sidesteps are bulky. I like the F150 automatic steps still. The sunroof is a preference of mine, but the full panoramic moonroof is very likely to be the preference of most people I understand. The hard door surfaces will still look in very good shape 1a5 years from now. Too many soft touch features lower on the door are just waiting to be damaged. The arm rest could be softer, but it is not so likely the arm rest will split like a softer one. They all use plastics and vinyls on the doors. No trucks with actual leather arm rests. Just the seating surfaces (cheap b*st*rds,,, all of them). Hahaha. You get a lot of bang for your buck definitely. Especially the diesel. I’m a Ford guy actually and if I went this way, I would get a Platinum King Ranch ($90,000 + Canadian,,,,,) instead I have a 2022 F150 King Ranch XLT level interior with the majority of applicable options, ($74,000 CAD). For us divide by 1.29.

As I get a little older, I find the sidestep very useful. My 80yo Father is in a wheelchair and there is no way he or my Mother could step up into a truck without one. I also like the fact it slides back to easily reach behind the cab. I think the wheels are fine, much better than the Ford. The interior is extremely nice but also very durable and easy to clean without worrying about scratching the door panels. Overall I would easily choose the Chevy or GMC Denali over the competition as I think the exterior, drivetrains and price is the best. Of course style is subjective. But I’d choose the V8 or baby Duramax all day over the Ecoboost. The Dodge is also nice but I’m just not a fan of the independent rear suspension and coil springs for payload and towing.

I really look forward to watching TFLC, they bring refreshing real world insights that most prospective buyers would appreciate. That being said I’m starting to think there’s a bit of a disconnect from the average buyer in the market when it comes to what is considered a reasonable price for a vehicle…not sure how this is going to be sustainable?

I love my 6.2. Mostly highway commute averaging 19-23mpg. 9-12 towing my camper but love the tons of power available. I like my analog gauges, not sure what I’d think of one huge screen.

Those chimes sound eerily similar to BMW's. Also my google home heard you and told me the same exact joke when you asked at 4:15 lol

Agreed with the side step, I have a 21 Sierra Denali and at 6'2 I find it just gets in the way when getting in or out of the truck. Wife finds it useful when getting in but not so much on egress.

I really do not like how expensive these truck are, i will never own a pos cylinder deactivation powdered truck after 06 period, 8k all day for a reliable 03-06 tahoe/ Silverado/ yukon/ Sierra as opposed to a new 70-100k truck….

Andre... a well presented video as usual and agree with the majority of what you said, but disagree on two things. First, automatic deployed steps on a modern luxury pickup truck are important to many buyers, especially if they have a smaller stature spouse, kids or elders. Secondly, I don't favor the panoramic sunroof option especially in hot southern climates. They let in quite a bit of light, sure, but they also let in a lot of heat, especially if you park the vehicle for any length of time.

I would agree that's a lot of money and I would have never thought that 72K + is a good value for a half ton, but compared to other brands today with their premium packages this is better than some others. We have a 2020 Chevy HD diesel with the loaded LTZ trim that we use for towing a heavy RV that we purchased during the pandemic lock down and we got one hell of a deal and 12K less than this truck, but I love the new interior and dash configuration of the new 2022 and GM should have had this new interior when they came out with the entirely new design for 2020. GM is always a day late and a dollar short in my mind.

I mostly agree with you except on few points. I much prefer the power moonroof vs. the full vista glass roof. GM does not do the full glass roof due to electronics located in the center of the roof. You don't like complications, but you prefer the full vista glass roof? There are always problems with the full glass roof. They suffer from stress cracks normally on the edges, which is the weakest part of the glass. These are sometimes covered under warranty. They also get hit by stones flying on the road. Full glass roofs are not as safe in collisions, especially roll overs. You will have glass raining on you and the interior. In addition, the full glass roofs cost more. I also prefer the standard tailgate with the power up feature. I don't have to worry about the tailgate hitting the hitch. This truck costs a lot more than my 2020 Chevrolet 3500 LTZ 6.6L gas, which has much more towing, payload (2.5 times), bed capacity, etc. than this 1/2 ton. This truly is insane!

@TflTruck Who do you recommend for a Five Star type tuning for 2023 Chevy Suburban with 5.3L motor?

Your best bang for the buck and my best bang for the buck is totally two different bangs. Lol!.

72K for a truck nowadays is considered great value, that is great to hear

geez the definition of insane has trully changed in the last 4-5 yrs.. Now you're suggesting 60k+++ is not insane, man you have lost your mind... ;) IMO over 50k is absurd!!!

just got a 2022 Silverado LTD LT. limited meaning it has 2019 front end and dash (pre-refresh). Given i got it brand new for under MSRP just 2 months ago, i think i got a better deal, and saved over 30k. yes I'd like the refresh and supercruise, other than that it serves my purpose, and cruising on highway i was getting 24mpg with the 5.3L v8.

I agree that those wheels are hideous, but I am also not a fan of the current F150 Limited wheel. The "turbine" wheels on the 2018-2020 Limited were awesome. Classy buy not gaudy or overdone.

You can lock the tailgate for the step not to come down when you have a tow hitch in.

The neat thing that GM did is that with the subscription it is cheaper than the normal Wi-Fi cost. If the vehicle has Google built in you can get Wi-Fi for fifteen dollars a month vs. twenty five.

Why would you need Wi-Fi in your car or truck? Everyone carries a portable Wi-Fi device in their pocket FGS, it’s called your phone, you already pay for it. 🤦

Andre, I watch a lot if your videos. They are very informative. I am looking to buy a truck. This is going to be my 1st truck. I love chevy and gmc. Can you tell me why some of the 4 wheel drive trucks have the option for “ Auto, 2h and 4h” and some have the additional “4l” option. If I was to get the one without the 4l, will it make a huge difference. I will be taking it out camping mostly and it will be my daily driver. Occasional offroading mostly to camp sites. I am not sure if getting the one without 4l will work for me. I just dont understand the difference between both. Can u explain me the difference please. It will be a great help in buying. Thank you, Davendra

My new trail boss has that crappy New dash. In 1000 miles it went out twice already. It can’t seem to take this Texas heat. Go down a dirt road and then it breaks. Chevy‘s idea was to replace it twice and not come up with a fix other than keep replacing it.

GM's competency at dashes is right there with their competency with batteries not burned down your house.

I see allot of cheap and shiny plastic where you should have wood and leather or some other high quality materials like brushed aluminum. Also what is the deal with whip antennas in the year 2022? Does not look like a luxury trim truck on the interior.

There is 2 things I hate here. Push start button and shifter in console. I wanna use the key to start engine and get normal column shifter. I like display screen better then Sierra one.I mean I hate vents above screen in Sierra

The only problem I can see with that hitch cover is for stow and go hitches. I have a BW hitch that folds under the bumper when not in use. It's designed to stay in all the time. With that cover, you wouldn't be able to open the tailgate all the way even when the hitch isn't in the way. I hope they have a solution for those types of hitches.

It is a pity that Chevrolet doesn't put that infotainment screen and gear shifter in the Tahoe. It would be serious improvement to the current setup.

The Tahoe definitely needs a new interior at this point specifically the top trim

Yeah I was planning on getting a denali ultimate but honestly I like the high country a little better because it's real fit for an equestrian like myself. Love the denali ultimate but it's just too much not just by price but all around. It is a beautiful truck I do love it but by images it looks too complicated. But yeah I'd prefer the high country with the 6.2L so I can haul my horses with it.

André really needs a Plaid truck to go with all his plaid shirts

Andre : reading comments,,, maybe you should “try” to explain,,, a 1500 pick up does not mean it will carry half a ton (1,000 lbs.) a 3500 HD , one ton ,the same ! Option up a 1/2 ton to the nuts,, raises the “net “ weight By about +/- 300 lbs. thus lowering it’s Payload , doesn’t effect towing as much ! Thanks again !

I’m afraid I don’t agree that’s a good price. Trucks are just stupid expensive. I was driving trucks before it cool to do so, and I’ve now been priced out of trucks. I don’t like driving anything else, so I’m doing my best to keep my current truck in working order.

I like the new dash. I have a brand new trail boss custom and it has the old dash.

Are the touchpoints on the Sierra Denali better or same?

Sierra touchpoints are better.

Gm still has some ground to cover in the lux pickup game the ram limited is king and the f150 is a great lux truck too the silverado and Sierra are just missing something maybe the styling ig

I just ordered a loaded 2023 Ram Rebel for basically that price and I feel it’s nicer than the new GMs. Been a Chevy guy my whole life but if I’m spending this much money I want nicest and most capable.

I did sell my truck because I was just using it as daly driver used so much fuel and I traded it in for a lux sport tuned suv so much fun got 10g cash back cus we’re I live no sales tax when you trad a vehicle in you own that’s The same value or more than the one you’re purchasing. I’m happy with decision don’t even miss the truck

Very nice truck but the cost is about $10,000 to $15,000 above what I would spend. I don't need all that luxury for how I use my truck, not necessary a work truck but I do haul quite a bit of different items. 6+ ft bed would be a must.

As if it wasn’t enough being the best looking one it’s also the most affordable of the fully equipped pickups. 👏🏽 Shouldn’t come as a surprise from the same people that build the Corvette C8.

Personally, not a fan of all the "comforts" thrown in that will break. What I would like more is the serviceability of the vehicles. It should not take 10 (or more) hours to replace the heater core or AC evaporator. Those should be in the engine compartment for easy access. The dash could be made to be a complete component to come out in one piece, rather than tens or hundreds. The reliability of newer vehicles has improved over the years, but the engineering should step back and think like a mechanic...to some degree... Pretty sells...but reliability keeps the customer coming back...over...and over...and over...

That's still to much for a truck that you have to pay for a subscription to use all of the features. We as consumers have to show these manufacturers that mandatory subscriptions are not ok by not buying their product. It doesn't have anything to do with not being able to afford it but everything to do with the manufacturers taking advantage of us. I don't understand how in recent years we have gone away from just being able to buy a vehicle and using everything it comes with and needing to pay extra to use what we already paid for. This is insane!

Man! Trucks got expensive, but if you are compare to the other brand, then it is a good value.

if you forget to put it in park, and turn truck off, will it go in park by itself when you open the door. ?

"why don't people have money anymore"...also ppl spending $70k on a truck when they make $45k per year

That would require a time machine.

It boggles my mind the payload numbers on a 1500 series only be 1450lbs or so. But as soon you step up to 2500 series truck you payloads from 3500lb to 4000lb in certain models. I would like to see these 1500 payloads from 2000 to 2500lbs then you could actually use these rigs to go camping or boating on the weekend if you want to take the family and gear along you with you max out these or overload them according to manufacturers ratings. Wake up people and demand more out of these manufacturers.
