- Our Toyota Tundra lacked adequate payload capacity for our Lance 1985 travel trailer so we decided to upgrade our tow vehicle to a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. In this video I will show you the truck and what we paid for it.

I have my custom 2500 I pull 10,000 pounds with my fifth wheel.
And I don’t have any problem. The truck is unbelievable strong, and this is 2022 . 5000 miles..
Congratulation hopefully I can see you in any campground 👍👍
Just purchased a 2022 Silverado Custom 2500HD myself last weekend. We’re also replacing our previous 2014 Tundra for low payload reasons. Besides that it was a great truck. Yes there’s a significant improvement in towing stability, and not having to worry about payload. This makes the change worth it as well as having peace of mind every time we tow. Great video and thanks for sharing all your info.
I upgraded from a 2021 Silverado 1500 wt (6 speed transmission 5.3). I bought a 2022 gmc 2500 6.6 duramax. It pulls our wolf pup 17jgbl like a dream. Such a great upgrade for mountain towing
This just sold me on the 6.6 gasser!
for my 2016 2500HD 4x4 GMC, i bought the rough country wheel well protectors off amazon for around $80 and installed them myself with included hardware in about 15min. had them on 2yrs now, work great!
Thanks for the thorough review. We love our 2011 Sierra. It still is an amazing tow vehicle and we haven’t had any mechanical trouble. She just goes in for regular maintenance. We found an extra lockable storage compartment under the middle seat in the front. We wish that we researched wheel well covers as we have rust. Otherwise she is the favourite tow vehicle we’ve had.
LGreat review, Patrick! Luv your new tow vehicle. You are sooo spot-on. It will serve you well! Regardless of what you may tow in future. Plus it offers you more payload capacity! Thats BIG!! Enjoy the new 2500 Silverado HD!!
I recommend removing the rear seat headrests completely in order to get better rear corner views. Just fold then forward and pull out the chromed supports. Store them elsewhere since you will not need them.
What a great review of your personal tow vehicle. Informational and honest. Appreciate the work you did on this video.
Thank you very much!
Great video Patrick! Really appreciate your openness and honest review.
Thank you so much!
Congrats to yall on your new truck. It is very nice, without all the extra ads-ons that's not really needed. One of the most thorough vehicle reviews I've seen on CZcams.
Thank you very much!
Good review, I lost my 2019 Tundra in July due to an accident. I tow a 8.5x20 enclosed trailer. I always felt the Tundra did OK, but it was nearing its maximum capacity. My journey in finding a truck was almost identical to yours. I have the same truck as yours, except crew cab.
Your comparison between Tundra and the 2500HD is spot on everything, except I felt my brakes were a little on the weak side. My new truck has 6500 miles on it currently, it has been a pleasure to drive towing and empty. My only complaint is the turning radius. Thanks for a great review.
That was really interesting, it seems like a great truck for your needs. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Page! We are very happy with it so far.
Nice truck Patrick. Great review. Perfect for what you guys need.
Thank you Sean! We are very happy with it so far.
Thanks for posted enjoyed your info. Greetings from Canada.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your video I Allso bought 2022 hd love it
Excellent review. Thank you. My 2001 Silverado 2500HD has 204,000 miles and going strong but I’m ready for something new. Your detailed review was very helpful.
Glad to hear you have had good luck with yours!
Great breakdown and video of new truck!
Thank you so much!
Totally one of your best videos for tech comments I too have been looking for a new tow vehicle and have a great understanding of GVWR and CGVWR etc. Nice job explaining and better yet understanding your self that most RV'rs with their half tons are over weight when they load the RV with all the stuff we all carry ( Like water) Oh, and I am a big Chevy fan anyway. Thanks for your continuing great content.
Thank you very much Brian!
Just bought the same truck. It is very nice and do need a step to get in. I have the diesel. 28 ft 5th wheel and that truck is a towing beast. Mine came with Z71 floor mats installed. You didn't cover the puck hitch mounting system but it allows for 5th wheel or gooseneck hitches with no added rails etc.
Thank you Patrick so much for this review on your truck. It’s a great truck. Nice you got a great tow vehicle. I’m so glad you showed all the stuff the truck had and can do. That’s pretty cool! My brother would love your truck. He’s a GM man. I love the fact you got a deal on it. Not bad at all. Do Truman and Bess love the new truck? Does the truck still smell new? I love the smell of new vehicles. Thank you again Patrick for this video. Hope you have a great weekend. School is out for the weekend. Stay safe.
Thanks for the good review. Have the same exact truck with a few more options minus the 4 auto which I wish I had. Bought it right off the lot since it was the only 2500 they had. Went to replace my Ram and 2500 gas trucks available. No markup on mine either. I live in Capri Camper full time so payload is everything to me. Enjoy your channel.
Thank you Sam!
Great video Patrick. I absolutely love that tonneau cover.
Thank you so much Esther!
Very nice! Congratulations!
Thank you so much.
Like Zeromez, I have the 1500 version of your truck and I'm very happy with it....a 2019. Good video.
This is a great review thank you.
Thank you Michael!
I have a 2013 tundra crewmax 5.7 ltre and we just purchased a 22 Bullet Premier25rkpr. I added the trd sway bar and the 6000 pound timbrens and a brand new WDH. Our trip home from the rvdealer was 140 miles one way and it just happened to be incredibly windy that day. The truck did great as far as power and braking especially because of the slotted rotors I installed on it. But as good as it did i am also considering upgrading to a 3/4 ton vehicle. I just feel that the beefier suspension and increased weight of a 3/4 ton truck will give me a better piece of mind towing long distances.
I am 64 and remember back when I was a kid my father towed with the ford wagon that we had as almost everyone else towed with the family sedan or wagon and trailers weren't crashing all over. I think that the biggest problem now is people don't know how to tow a trailer, what to do in a emergency. People are also going way to fast while towing and pay attention to their phones or other things not the road. Payload is not the problem.
Congrats on the new truck. She looks to be a beauty. 👍
Thank you! We think so too!
Propane in a milk crate is a must…nice truck and video.
Love the double cab and 6 foot bed, I have the same and it tows my Keystone Cougar 25RES perfectly! It’s 10,000 GVWR and around 7800 dry with a 1500 pin weight so you could tow it easily if you ever decide to go that way. Very nice truck!
Thank you Bud! The Cougar 25RES is the 5th wheel we had been looking at so that is great to hear your truck tows it well.
Really enjoy the channel. have a similar 2500HD and my towing experience went from fair to very good. Chevy also pays for your first service - oil change, filter, tire rotation, inspection, etc.
The dealership did tell us that our first oil change was included and we could visit any Chevrolet dealer to get it done. We are very happy so far.
Great review. I have the exact truck in a 2021 model, with a couple other options. Also, there should be another lockable storage compartment under the jump seat.
I will look for that! thank you for that tip.
Great review and beautiful truck.
Thank you! We really like the way it tows
Love the truck
Thank you!
Currently my Ram 1500 does the job, but if I get the urge to go bigger I may need to upgrade the truck. Very helpful.
This definitely gives us options if we decide to change trailers in the future.
I am claiming membership in the club as well. We moved from tundra tow vehicle to 2020 gmc mid trim, white, gasser. Got the double cab because crew would not fit our garage. Virtually identical to yours but with traditional bucket seats and console, power driver seat, and 20" wheels.. Ours came with the Goodyear tires I am anxious to get rid of.
Drove 100 miles one way to trade the day after quarentine was declared. Have 14k and no problems. It is just a blast to drive.
Have 8k travel trailer and get 8-9 mpg at 65-70 mph ( gy endurance tires). 17ish solo on interstate at 70-75. 12-13 around town. Actually not bad for 3.5 tons and the aerodynamics of a brick.
On the way home from the trade I weighed it bone stock empty at 73xx lbs with me in it and about 30 gallons in the tank.
Mine did not have running boards from factory. Wish I had a video of me and the salesman trying to climb up in it for a test drive. I put step boards on 3 days later.
PS:. On star pushes software updates about every 9 months. I always decline, but when it is pending it will make your retained power feature stop working. You can go into settings, updates, and you have a choice to download or decline. No one is going to mess with my computer's unless it is sitting in a service bay at the dealership.
Enjoy!
Glad to hear you are loving yours! The running rails were a must for us....luckily no one has video footage of us getting in and out that week we had the truck without them. LOL
Great video and awesome truck Pat! That trailer camera will save marriages and decrease spouse yelling n cussing in Rv parks 😂😂
Yes it will! LOL. Its not quite as nice as your truck but we are very happy with it.
Nice Truck! Probably won't be long now until there is a new trailer in your future to help you take advantage of all that new payload!
Happy Camping.
Someday but probably not for awhile yet. Nice to know now that we do have options.
We have the same truck bed cover "the back flip " and it really works great and is very attractive.
I was really excited to find it and the reviews I read were very positive.
Yes, good tonneau cover.
It's called the Deuce 2, I believe.
I have it on my 2006 GMC Sierra 2500hd crew cab diesel and I have the Truxedo Tonneaumate toolbox that fits nicely under the cover and it all works well. I added a second manual lock latch to the right rear of the tonneau cover for additional latching security and it just bolts right in just like the left side. It's a bit more cumbersome to un-latch because of both being independent manual latches but I feel better about it and it helps hold the right rear down better.
I finally had my LT deliver to the dealer the end of last summer. Love love love it! Glad I got it before the new models came out and had the 15% inflation increase! Enjoy!
Congratulations on the new truck!
I appreciate your fine review. I love how systematically you covered all the features and options, and how frankly you discussed your deal and costs. If you know my channel, you know I love my Chevy van, but a truck might be in my future. My only reservation about the Chevy pickup, petty though it is, is that front grill. I’ll probably wait a few more years and buy the big brother, the GMC version. More pricey, from what I’ve seen, but I like the appearance better. All that aside, I do like your new truck and wish great success with it. Again, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jurgen! We really liked the looks of the GMC but you are right, they are a bit more pricey.
Great review! I have the 1500 version of this truck and love it. One of the best things I added was a custom mounting system that goes into that recess on the dashboard. The one I got was from Bullet Point Mounting Solutions. You can add your phone, GoPro, Tablet, RV Specific GPS etc etc. For RV people, I found it to be an awesome upgrade.
Thank you for sharing that....I am going to look into it.
What a great suggestion! This solution will work perfectly for mounting a GPS, RV Backup Camera Monitor and a dash cam iny 2500HD!
Nice looking truck i have a 2020 1500 AT4 with under 3000 miles .just bought out my lease would like to get a 3500 in the future
That's not a bad price. Good review. Very good details..
Thank you so much
Been watching since before the Lance. Love all your info. If y'all are considering another camper, please video the thinking process. Your opinions are great to hear.
Great suggestion! At this point, we are pretty happy with the Lance but I am sure there will be a point where we consider something else.
I have almost the same identical truck, I did get the 8' bed with spray in liner from GM. I got a few more features inside tho without the Z71 package, Power drivers seat with both front seats heated and a heated leather steering wheel. I'm surprised you didn't get the fog lamps being a Z71, mine came with them plus the cab marker lights. It does have the plow package, which I didn't really need, but if I want to plow someday I'm good to go! Enjoy that new truck as I have mine so far, will be a year in November. I tow a 30' Flagstaff 826MBR and it tows fantastic.
So far I am loving it and the way it goes the Lance.
My dream truck right there!! Got a tundra right now as well. Wish could go to this route. But will be yeaaars with pricing😢
Very nice video. I just purchased the 2023 Silverado 2500HD Custom. I came from and traded my 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 3.0L Duramax with 52k miles. It was a fantastic truck but I tow a pressure washing trailer and the weight can be up to 8500lbs with 500 gallons of water. I don't always have that amount but I knew I was really pushing the truck capacity and needed something bigger. I decided to go back to gas as well to avoid having the potential future diesel issues that could come up in the future owning it long term. I'm very happy with the truck.
Thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on your new truck!
Got my 2022 custom.2500 4/1/22.
Have 7000 tho on it.15.16.17.around local.taking trip soon thruway.we will see. Plow prep package.tow package. See u have foreword lighting on mirrors.but not the rearward.below climate have button puts down all windows at once.can do from remote too if checked on in infotainment center.havent figured out up by mirror on roof.button on the left does??.no rear inner fenders.ordered from dealer.still haven't got. Love the truck.
There is something to be said with a larger engine when towing they can be more efficient as they have more torque and don't have to work as hard to keep the load moving. Also this new 6.6 is a pretty good motor from what I've seen so far my friend has one and he is happy with it.
I have just found you channel and I am really enjoying the content. I am looking to downsize our huge fifth wheel and dually diesel truck and thinking about a similar gas 3500 and a small fifth wheel. This was a great video to get me started. I love your Lance trailer but I love towing a fifth wheel versus a trailer.
Hi Doug and welcome! We are thinking about a small 5th wheel in the future ourselves. I loved the way our 35’ 5th wheel towed but we are now looking at one under 30’
Good choice. Similar MPG to my RAM 2500 Hemi 4x4.
You picked a great tow vehicle! I bought a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Crew Cab LTZ regular bed (6' 10") 6.6L gas. I have 25,000 miles and have had no issues. I traded my 2015 F250 6.7L diesel due to the same payload capacity issue, which was actually worse than some new 1/2 ton trucks. My payload capacity is 3,872 lbs. on my Chevy. The Ford's was about only 1,500 lbs. due to an aftermarket 50 gallon fuel tank and the extra weight of the diesel engine and transmission. I also did not want the maintenance of the diesel. I pull a 2019 Rockwood 2608BS (30') very easily with the Chevy gasser. Please note that you have a towing label located on your left front B pillar for your specific truck. My truck rides very smooth even with the Goodyear tires. I too love the Michelins that I had on my Ford. The Chevy has an independent front suspension, which helps for the smooth ride and you do not need to worry about Ford's death wobble. Also, in the event of a collision you do need to take your truck to an aluminum certified shop for repairs as the Fords do. Please note that if you are looking to buy a Cougar fifth wheel stay away from units that have a cable system slide out, especially on a main slide which need a traditional rack and pinion system. I had a 2018 Cougar 26RBI travel trailer where a cable system wall bracket pulled out of the wall! The slide had to be manually pushed in, but could not go in all of the way. This happened at the dealer (not the fault of the dealer). What if this happened in the middle of nowhere? The trailer had to sit at the dealership for another month for repairs. I may go to a fifth wheel too as I have the fifth wheel prep package. I will probably go to a Rockwood. Keystone customer service was terrible, while Rockwood customer service was great. You will love your new Chevy!
Thanks for the warning!
Thanks Patrick, Your comment about keeping that truck for a long time hit home for me. I pull my Oliver with a Ford E350 one ton van and love it. We just spent $3100 for a brake job and while that is a lot of money, with 185,000 miles I hope to get another couple years out of it before probably buying my last truck. I am looking at the Ford F250 with the 7.3 gas engine which will probably last until the only thing I will be able to drive is an adult tricycle.
So glad to hear that you are loving your Sierra and it has done well for you.
@@TravelswithDelaney ?
Nice looking truck personally I like chrome bumpers the dont get paint chips
Rough country makes a beautiful seat cover for these trucks, they list them as only fitting the 1500 models, but i took a chance and ordered them anyways, they fit my truck(same as yours) perfectly
Thank you. I will check them out.
I did this 3 months ago as well. We have a 2021 forest river Salem FSX 179 DBK fully loaded at 3800 pounds without water and I was towing it with a 2020 Toyota Tacoma. I was running into payload issues as well and we had to take two vehicles. So I traded in the Tacoma with a puny 985 pound payload capacity in for a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 3.0 Duramax with 1,785 pound payload. We towed the camper a few times with it and it was night and day difference. Now me, my wife, two kids can all ride in the truck now and I am not worried bout payload anymore. I miss the Tacoma but I DO NOT miss towing the camper with it. Went from 8 mpg towing the camper with the Tacoma, to 14 mpg with the camper, also I see 25-31 mpg without towing.... Best decision ever.
It is amazing what a different towing experience it is with a larger tow vehicle. Glad it has worked out for you too.
@@TravelswithDelaney but I know exactly what you mean about doing it for payload. That's my same reason as well. Just couldn't afford a HD diesel and I was on the market for a diesel.
Great review! Congratulations on your new tow vehicle! We have the same truck but with the Duramax, Allison 10-speed and 3.42 rear-end. We ordered it last year (August 2021) and took delivery the 1st weekend of October 2021, but it is a 2022 model (go figure). We opted for the diesel at a time when diesel prices were between regular and premium gasoline prices thinking we would save fuel costs over the Premium fuel our 2017 Silverado 1500 LTZ 6.2L engine took. Well, we live in interesting times, that's for sure! Diesel prices went completely through the roof. Oh well.
But! This is a towing monster! Of course, most of our towing is in the mountains in the Four Corners area of the Southwest, and North Texas Cross Timbers Hill Country. Currently, we are getting better fuel mileage than the previous truck commuting (20 to 22 mpg at 75 mph; more when we are running 55 to 65 mph) and significantly better fuel mileage towing (12 to 15 mpg vs 9 to 12 mpg). It's much easier to drive, too, so we arrive at our destination refreshed instead of worn out and ready for an adventure. That's the beauty of the HD trucks: they are so stable towing that it makes driving a breeze.
Enjoy your new truck! We are enjoying ours!
Safe travels!
Bob and Dottie.
Do you have the 18 or 20 inch wheels?
@@garysarratt1 - 20-inch wheels.
Just got my 2023 2500 HD LT Z71 two days ago. And let me tell you I love it. Mines turbo diesel and oh boy it’s a game changer. You can haul easy 20k
Congratulations on your new 2500! We are loving ours.
I have towed my 1995 with a Jeep Grand Cherokee… don’t ask me about payload… ;-) I switched to an F-250 and it really makes all the difference…
I will be buying a Paragon. But I will be figuring out how to make it stay partially open. It should be easy. But will not be certain until I see it
My '05 Silverado 3/4 ton 4 door 8 ft. bed is still going strong. Pulling my 27 foot Prowler. I name mine Snowball... Your cruise control do you use it while you're hauling your camper, or you don't recommend?
I like the way the tonneau cover does up front, but that’s $400 more than mine. Not sure that’s a net value for me. Thanks for sharing!
The setting on your display that tells you mpg for the last 50 miles can be adjusted to two other ranges. Don’t remember what the second one is but there is also 400 mpg. You use the left or right arrows to get to them.
Thank you Valerie for that tip! I am going to check that out.
Nice truck, you did your homework.
Thank you
I got the 2500 my self I had the Z71 half ton and my trailer is 7200 and the truck was 5169 so that’s why I got my 2500 my truck came with rear wheel inserts heated seats and steering wheel but I got the crew cab I love the truck
Your video popped up today probably because I just bought a 2023 Silverado 2500 LT but with a Duramax. I’m coming from a 1999 Silverado 2500 with the 6.0l V8 gas engine. It was/is a phenomenal truck (I kept it) but with 310k miles, it needed a break.
You kinda skimmed over the undercoating you got put on. I hope it wasn’t the black rubberized undercoat. That stuff is notorious for doing more harm than good. It traps water underneath itself and rust grows unchecked. The best option would be a Fluid Film or Crown oil treatment. You need to reapply every so often (yearly or two) but it protects extremely well.
Enjoy your truck!
Congratulations on the new truck!!
I have a 2023 3500 HD Duramax crew cab short bed on order to pull my travel trailer. Supposed be here in November
Congrats on your new truck!
Funny stuff. I upgrade to the gmc version of your truck
I figured you were well over the max on the Tacoma and at or near max on the tundra.
The 6.6 makes towing thru the mountains near effortless.
We are loving the way it tows so far.
Excellent video thank you! It's a real shame how the new car market is today. When I bought a new vehical in the past I would ignore the MSRP Sticker, ask the dealer to negotiate between dealer invoice and dealer hold-back which averaged 6 to 8 percent below the Window Sticker..not anymore! Americans will be holding on to their vehicals for a lot longer especially with the cost of financing today!
I am curious with time, if oil consumption will be an issue.
Have a 2021 2500hd 6.6 gas. Works very well with our 25' fifth wheel 8100 gross. Problem is it's stupid tall and the seats are awful . We have the LT.
I've read the book in the glove compartment, but, I still an not real sure when to use the "tow" button on the dash of our 2022 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4.7 hemi with a big transmission and 4 wheel drive. Is that for mountain driving with your trailer? We just simply drive, we don't use that or the 4 wheel drive, and I really don't know if we should be using one or both? Pulling a 24 foot Grand Design. We have a class 4 hitch for 10k lbs, and the truck has 10k+ a little towing capacity. Our trailer is around 6500 range I think.
I too have never really been sure when to use it. If you find your truck shifting a lot when towing, that is when I go ahead and put the truck in tow haul mode.
Hi Patrick, great video! Do you only use your truck for towing? Or also for general driving? Thanks!
We are primarily using it for towing because our Subaru Crosstrek gets much better gas mileage for day to day driving.
If you want an even better ride than what you have...change out the junk Rancho shocks when they wear out at 5-8k miles with Bilstein 5100 series!
Nice truck...
Thank you! We are very happy with it so far.
Would like to know if see the oil consumption issues that many of these engines have as you put more miles on this vehicle
I wish I could get 11 mpg with my 2019 Silverado 2500HD towing. I average over 10k miles towing about 9 mpg with our 17MKE trailer.
Interesting that my 2019 WT has auto up and down on both the front windows… also we have the inverter. Chevy is interesting on how they equip their vehicles… 🤔
There is a difference towing between the 1/2 ton and 3/4. I would not go back to a half ton if towing was in my things to do.
Great video!
Thank you! We will see how the MPG shakes out when we get more miles on it and I am sure that # we have had will go down when we get on some terrain that is not flat like we have around here.
Length of trailer, speed, and wind seem to be the biggest factors on MPG. I have the same model, 2021 w/off road package. 8-9mpg towing 30' trailer.
Congrats on the new truck!
Still waiting on my F350, 9 months and counting..lol
WOW....9 months....that is crazy. Hopefully you won't have to wait much longer.
@@TravelswithDelaney hopefully not, it's due to be delivered this week. Actually had to reorder it twice to remove equipment that Ford did not think would be available before the 22's where finished with the production run, including fifth wheel prep and onboard navigation.
I actually know a couple of people who have waited longer, and a couple others who've had to upgrade to a 23 to get specific equipment. I know at least three who have had their orders cancelled by Ford (supposedly not by the Dealer).
I know several people who ordered GMCs and got the truck earlier, but all of them had to wait for an optional part to be delivered and installed free later. Notably where their heated seats, split rear windows, and power options ( interior plugs)
And don't get me going on the argument with the dealership that wanted me to pay for all the price increases AND suddenly didn't want to honor my x-plan pricing. That got sorted after a couple of calls to Ford Corporate and threatening the dealership directly with contacting local media outlets.
It's definitely NOT the year to order a new truck!
Hey did you finally got your F350?
@@moez462 Not yet.. just did the financing for it. Supposedly it'll be here by Christmas
I have the same truck with lots more options however the 2024 gas and diesel engines will have the Allison's 10 speed tranny the current 6l90 on our trucks has had some problems mine has for sure might trade it for a 2024 6.6 gas with a Allison
This truck will outlast you.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
I sure hope not! LOL
Do I have your drive train correct. 6.6 engine 6-speed trans 373 gear in rear ?
Now that you have a bigger truck, are there any places you're going to go that you couldn't go to earlier, or somewhere you are going to revisit now that you can bring additional stuff? (Like the bikes or fire pit you mentioned earlier)
Getting to places was never an issue but we are excited that we can now bring our e-bikes on future trips.
That's a nice truck and the one I'm looking at, but I'm looking at the Custom 2500. 27K on the Tundra for trade on a 2017?... that's a low ball. I was offered 32K for my 2014 Tundra Limited with 68K miles. I would have kept the Tundra until prices go down. I refuse to pay MSRP, so I'll keep my Tundra for now.
Box is 6foot 10inch
Can you add a link to that organizer for your center seat? We need one for our 2500 but I cannot find anything for the life of me!
I have put a link to it in the video description
Love the channel. Can you comment on the ride unloaded vs the Tundra.
Its hard to really tell so far just because we haven't driven it a ton yet. I think it seems a bit stiff when by itself and actually smoother on bumps with the the RV in tow.
@@TravelswithDelaney thanks so much I have a Tundra I think that's how I found your channel originally... I think our next truck will be a 2500 too
@@adamton7274 I really liked both of the Tundra's we owned and I hated to leave Toyota. I wish they made a 3/4 ton truck. So far, I am very happy with the 2500.
What kind of fuel economy do you get towing? How fast do you drive when you are towing?
Get rid of the ranchos you need to upgrade your shocks you shocks you will not be disappointed (Bilstein)
Just curious as to a follow up on your opinion of your Chevy 2500. I’m considering one and was wondering if you’re still satisfied or if you’ve encountered anything you don’t like or any problems with the engine/truck? I know there is a service bulletin for excessive oil consumption on this engine. Have you found that to be the case with your truck? If you already have published an update I missed it. Can you direct me to it if it’s out there? Thanks for the great review of your truck and congrats
We are 1 year into ownership on this truck and so far we have not had any issues with it and it's doing a great job towing our new 27' 5th wheel. The only issue we have had is with the info center. It will periodically just freeze up when we are using Apple Play. I have searched forums and this seems to be a known issue. I haven't done a follow up video on the truck yet.
1:48 The Nissan Titan with the Cummins does compete in the "heavy duty" category in my opinion. Not that I'd buy one, lol
Great review. I was wondering how tall is your garage door opening, 7 or 8 foot tall? I have a 2022 Rockwood Mini Lite 2104s that weighs 5000 lbs dry. So, I may need to upgrade to the 2500HD in the future, especially if we get a larger camper. I currently have a 2018 Silverado LT Z71 double cab. I have a 9’ x 7’ garage door and have no problem getting through that opening, but the 2500 HD’s are taller. Thanks
Thank you! I just measured and ours is 7’ tall.
Thanks. That helps to know that before buying a 2500hd. 😊
Does it have the 5th Wheel Prep package (holes already pre-drilled)? If not, do you know which trim in the Silverado 2500HD would offer that? I recently looked at one just like yours except it was a diesel and it did not have the 5th Wheel prep. So, I'm wondering if the LT trim does not offer that option. Thanks.
Ours does not have the 5th wheel prep but I am pretty sure you can get an LT with that option.
@@TravelswithDelaney ...Thanks.
I have a 2021 2500 with 18000 miles. The fuel mileage gets better 16.5-17 unloaded and 10 pulling my 38 ft travel trailer
We just bought a 2022 2500 custom model. We have a little under 2k miles on it but it is amazing. Unloaded gas mileage is around 15 around town, 17+ on the highway. Loaded with our travel trailer that is 32ft long and weighs around 9K loaded it gets around 9. That gas engine is off the charts amazing. We feel so lucky to own it. What a friggen BEAST!!!
Thank you both for all of the information on yours. I am hoping we will see our MPG get better as we get more miles on it.
I tow with a tundra as well. It should have close to a 1400 pound payload I can’t imagine that Lance having a hitch weight of more than 6 to 700 pounds. I’m not sure how much you and your passengers weigh but you should have couple 100 pounds left over for cargo in the bed. just my experience. Thanks for the video.
Ours was a Limited with the TRD Off-road and its payload was 1300#. Our Lance hitch is 800#-900# depending on whether we put water in it or not. Put 2 adults and 2 dogs into the truck and we were at 1250-1350#.
I used to think that way, but after a bad tow through Atlanta I decided overkill is the safest option. Now, I have the 22 dmax version and now rarely think about braking and always have good acceleration. My previous was a 2001 model 2500 with dmax; our 38’ 5ver was just about all it could handle.
What under body coating did you use?
I'm not sure what they used. We had it done at our local truck shop that is a Linex dealer.
You’d pay a lot more for all the bells and whistles of a higher spec as well as eating into you’re payload capacity there is plenty of aftermarket lumbar cushions available I’d opt for the weather tech window deflectors allow you to keep the windows a little open all the time and no rain getting in handy with pets.I’d just take the rear head restraints out until you’re ready to sell.How many miles did you do with the Tundra?
The Tundra I traded in had 99,000 miles on it. My first Tundra had 169,000 on it when I traded that one in.
I looked at a 2022 2500 at Greg Hubler Chevrolet in Mooresville. The truck was sold by them 10/21 for 56k according to the window sticker. They had it on the lot for 58k! So not all Hubler dealers are the same. I thought I might trade my 18 F150 King Ranch but they were screwing me over on trade numbers and on the price of the truck. The manager drove my Ford and told me “your transmission has a problem from 8 to 10 gear. I said no it does not! I’m a mechanic they think everyone that sits across the desk from them is a complete idiot! They also wouldn’t let up on asking me what I owed on my truck. The payoff on my truck is none of their business. It is my responsibility to payoff the truck not theirs! By this time I made my mind up I wasn’t sowing business with them. I told them my payoff to play the game. Yep they based my trade off my payoff then the manager said that kbb valued my truck incorrectly. Huh it’s awful funny that their used truck was worth more than market value but mine was not! What a waste of my 3 hours. I will never do business with that dealer ever again. And their is way more to their lying that I won’t get into here because I could write a book. So I did like you did and first thing I did was looked at what a Costco member gets for a new truck, they gave me a certificate for $1,000 and it can be combined with my employee discount. Costco told me to go to Champion in Avon, IN so that is where I ordered my 2023 2500. Great experience so far. Oh and they don’t make market adjustments either. Those crooks out there charging that need to have zero customers!
what is the name of the aftermarket tray AT 18:51 or where is the link to purchase one
It is called a Texas Saddlebag Clutter Catcher that I purchased on Amazon.
@@TravelswithDelaney Thank you!!
