Thanks for watching!
Props to gm for keeping it real with the 6.2.
6.2 with the pulsar lt, omg fastest naturally aspirated truck
Gotta love the active exhaust as well, the 6.2 V8 sounds really good, I'm glad GM finally gave this engine the exhaust it deserves, this exhaust is perfect for the ZR2 and AT4 and the other off-road focused trims.
@@ZoomZoom356 I went a little crazier with muffler and resonator delete lol. It sounds awesome too me I have received many compliments from manly men of course lol
@@thorpower1015how’s the highway drone?
@@Spartan168 not bad and not really even on the highway, it's not too loud and sounds coming out are music too my ears.
These trucks are not only scandalously priced but have become luxurious vehicles that most likely won't be used for it's intended purpose. So many of these trucks driving around with few passengers, cargo or towing anything. Thus becoming more status symbols then utilitarian vehicles. At $60-$80k you gotta be wealthy to afford these trucks or have your priorities mixed up. Like the truck and review non the less ✌🏽❤️
Sounds like somebody missed out when they were still under 50k 😂
@@justinjuarez1852 touche man, touche 😂
Honestly you don’t even need to be rich to have a vehicle like this, and that’s the case with many other expensive cars I feel like, you would just have to put a good chunk of your cash into it
@@pelotonboys66 I don't know how people afford the monthly payments it's insane.
Still cheaper than any BMW out there and you can work, tow, shop and camp out of a truck. Plus, 6.2L V8.
Pickups have become status symbols.
Status of what though? It’s a tool.
For people that have to compensate women because of the size of their little buddy. And feel embarrased it won't get up, have to compensate some way.
$66k isn’t actually that bad. My 1997 F-150 Lariat was ~55k adjusted for inflation. This is nicer and can do a lot more! 80+k is when things start to get a little stupid…like I’m not paying that for a truck lol. 66k is still high and pushing it, but it’s not out of the realm of thought for me and many others.
Some poeple actually use them for what they were intended to.A rare case but hey lol.@@Viper_991
You have to be extremely ignorant with your money to buy a pickup as a status symbol 💀
Wow, what a great system the Super Cruise is!
This is what i love about your channel. You review literally all sorts of cars at all sorts of price ranges to their fullest extent. One day its a fully specced huracan STO or tecinica, the next day a silverado, the day after that a z06 and the day after that a civic type r. Keep it up man you make amazing content. Same thing with tedward you two are the best reviewers on youtube.
Wouldn’t you if companies loaned you vehicles to record ?
That’s a high tech truck with a powerful engine and a lot of room!
That 6.2L V8 is a beast! Might have to get one of those in my next truck!
Super Cruise is awesome though. Shocked to see GM out of all companies get it so good.
When GM wants to try they always knock it out of the ballpark. Look at the Escalade V!
@@yamahaguy1732 nah its a shit company facing many lawsuits because their products are shit aswell. transmission in my 17 camaro started causing trouble at 50k miles. manufacturing defect - had to rebuild it or buy a new one. didn't want to deal with it so i sold the car and bought a mustang. 120k miles and the trans shifts as good as new. gm is a joke.
GM can pump out good stuff if they want to
The higher trims - absolutely. The tech is cool and if you can afford it, more luxury features is a bonus. But most people don't use their pick-ups for actual truck things.
GM is either a really good hit or a really bad miss. No in-between IMO.
I own this same truck but with the Duramax, Super cruise was the main selling point and has been great. We just took it on a 2000 mile road trip and it did great. GM really hit it out of the park with the Duramax 10speed combo.
What sort of gas mileage did you average on the trip?
@chevyfan029
Upper 20s broke 30s on backroads going 65.
What job do you have to be able to afford this?
@isolatefn3914
Lol, it's my situation that helps me more than just my job. We bought our house with low interest and the market being low. Also, have a company vehicle so I can put more into our personal vehicle since we only need the one.
@@bryce850 Damn, good job. Im just starting my adult life and the house prices are crazy, even around my area which is in rural NC. A truck like that is a dream though, just not sure what career path would allow me to afford a truck like that and a decent house.
This is a fully loaded top trim Chevrolet Silverado High Country the equivalent to a GMC Denali with the level of technology and luxury of a Mercedes yet people are complaining about the price? Smh 🤦🏽♂️
This does not compare to a Mercedes in any way lol. It’s a nice truck though for sure.
@@clarencepreston573 this definitely rivals the driver assistance technology that you’ll find in a Mercedes GLS. The only thing that’s missing here is some sort of augmented reality navigation. But the Silverado has Google services built in and the navigation can be activated with a voice command. Luxury brands like Infiniti, Acura, Lexus, and Lincoln aren’t even offering Google maps or services built-in. Certainly luxury vehicle levels of tech right here.
Love my 24 High Country, exactly the same as the one you're driving except in White. The responsiveness is amazing. The 6.2 L is the way to go with this truck, more than enough power to slam you into your seat if (when) you punch the gas. Love the auto drive, it is amazing. When from Philly to NYC in heavy traffic over the weekend, no issues with it at all. Quiet possibily the best truck I've owned in years. Beat part, my wife loves druving it too!
im a ford guy and man the gm half tons are just solid man
The sound alone is amazing.
Chevy finally gave us what we wanted with the interior styling. I am a die hard Ford guy but this truck is the perfect spec for a half ton. Will defiantly be my next truck.
You and me both, Chevys been picking up their stuff while Ford is sadly going down the tubes.
I am so glad that I asked for a large garage before they started building my house, looks like I'm gonna be buying me a Silverado too.
I have one very similar, just has the 5.3, i couldnt find the 6.2 at the time i needed it and i have the z71 package instead of the 22 inch wheels, same interior. Had it about 6 months now almost 30k miles. Only issues are a bad parking sensor module and the infotaintment is glitchy sometimes, but not bad enough to be much an issue. Great truck overall, and i have the multiflex tailgate which has become one of my favorite things.
Perfect for idling in the Culvers drive thru.
This with the DuraMax diesel would be perfect!
Came here to hear the 6.2L as my ram 2500 6.4 wasn't punky at all. Leaving the video with a like & subscribed because you know how to get up to speed on the on-ramps unlike most folks! Love this video!
I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s when it was nuts to put leather interior in a truck. Now these things are luxury cars. Does anyone actually use trucks for work anymore or just status symbols to show their neighbors how much money they have?
Exactly. They're the new Cadillacs. Oversized, luxury vehicles that are impractical for most people's actual lives, but used to flex.
Tons of people work these new trucks and they do it way better then old trucks did. There’s work truck trim levels for a reason so if you don’t want to be comfortable then buy the base models.
How is this a status symbol? It’s like $70k, you make it sound like it’s 200k
@@jackz4149 My work truck cost me $4,000 and it hauls a 14k lb 5th wheel twice a week, 70k is pretty insane for a work vehicle considering that's were Vettes start.
So yeah, most of them are status symbols. F150 plats go a little north of 100k, that's now into Porsche 911 territory that's insane.
@@bobjackson4287 F150 platinum is around $79-$80k… and no Porsche 911 requires a lot of options to be drivable, so you’re looking at $160k at least
I’ve never been a fan of Chevy trucks but this boy is niceeeeee
Thetopher! Thanks-you made professional . have a great day! 😯
Impressive. I own the 2014 High Country model, which is still a powerful beauty. These models are a dream to drive. I appreciate your review. The first-person test drive made me feel like I was driving, too😂
Thanks for the review topher!
I've only had bad times with GM reliability. Leasing sure! But It's just hard to justify actually buying any GM product. Shame, cause damn this is a beautiful truck!!
Best 24 highcountry review period!
Sitring at 6.5, i get more comfortable in truck and my bed is a over size trunk. Love it why would I want a luxury car.Glad there giving you the luxury options in a truck.I would never camp, haul or fish or tow in a dam BMW or Mercedes.Guys it's a vehicle and your money buy what you like.No different then a 50k Harley. Hard as we all work in Americans enjoy yourself and let others do the same.
Your test drive motivated me more
The 6.2 is a good motor!
I'm so confused with Super Cruise, I mean that is Awesome how it works and all, but my confused part is if you take your eyes off the road it shuts-off, that's when I would want it the most!?
You beat me to it.
Wow! I like the sounds of the engine. This is a muscle car engine. I do drive the Jeep Grand Cherokee; it has HEMI V8 underneath my hood but sounds like that too.
I just picked up a 2024 HC with SC, I drive a lot of miles, what a game changer
If I had a pickup truck, this would be it.
Insane!! Great job... Greetings from Brazil 🙋🏻♂🇧🇷
Convert the bed to a sleeper, then go cruising around the whole US, OMG this my top dream as a non-US citizen.
lovely car! i personally have a gripe against GM for removing carplay in their future vehicles but after seeing that infotainment system i won’t be too bothered by it - although it’s a key feature i require in a vehicle.
just one thing i noticed though … the super cruise automatically turning off when i’m not looking forward seems dangerous if it doesn’t alert me beforehand. did it alert you that it was turning off or did it just shut off automatically without warning? i feel like there’s no point in an “autopilot” if you can’t look away or do other tasks.
FWIW, GM is only removing Carplay in its future EVs. Combustion vehicles will continue to have it. I do hope they revert on the EV decision though
@@ankurpandya3912one of the main reasons people buy new cars is to get carplay. I bet as soon as they see they’re losing sales because of it they’ll revert
i believe it will vibrate your seat and beep at you, and if you fail to respond it will put on the hazards and pull over
@@ankurpandya3912 good to know
Nah we need CarPlay
sounds gorgeous.
Gosh, I wish i could drive these trucks but i’m too short 😅
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family 😊
I got a 2024 Toyota Tundra Iforce Max hybrid 1794 edition and I cannot be happier with it. Yes, I did pay a bit more, but it was worth! I went to a Chevy dealer and the sales guys didn't know how to sell the product. None of my questions were properly answered. But when I got in the Tundra, that was it. I instantly connected with the truck and the interior is to die for. At night, the mood lights are so cool! It feels like a luxury car. Wife is happy to get on the truck as well. That is a double bonus....
be honest…you wish you had that 6.2 rather than that tiny V6 hybrid crap
@@JokerG16 I use my truck for luxury and for when I need to buy something for the house... And the interior is awesome!
@@JokerG16 Did you know the 6.2L has 460 lbs of torque versus the Tundra which has 583 lbs of torque? That torque is pretty close to diesel territory not too long ago. I like both engines and prefer a V8, but I can see why the Tundra owner made his decision. That torque is insane for a V6 and has Toyota engineering behind it. I do get the hybrid stuff is not really compelling for most truck owners, but I guess they are trying to move the industry forward. At least it's not an all-electric vehicle, which I think is a bad choice for a pickup truck that will tow anything.
I wanted to like the Tundra, but hated how cheaply made it is. Paint is also horrendous. I’m glad I passed on it after seeing all the engine issues now.
Second time watching this.....that super cruise 🔥🔥🔥
Gotta give him credit for trying to minimize the dirt from that dirt road on those floor mats 28:11
American truck is Amazing
Impressed with the Super Cruise
Man I wish my 17' High Country had the 10 speed and that center console shifter. That's the one thing i miss from my 12' Ram. I have the 6.2L as well and I love it but the 8 spd I have is clunky as all hell. However at the new prices ill never own one though. Mine was at the high end of what id buy and now they are nearly 2x as much.
TheTopher, Which system do you like better BlueCruise or Super Cruise? Also, how does its ride compare to the F-150?
Now I want to be in debt with this Chevy
I wish they offered this system in their HD trucks. I would buy one tomorrow.
Why does a 2024 have an antenna in this day and age? SC is amazing technology!!! $77K is insane!
Does it have a speed governor that shuts you down at 99 mph?
Ahh! Hines Drive... Back in its glory days in the 80's on a summer Saturday or Sunday the sides of that road would be a parking lot of bumper to bumper cars. Many of the cars were muscle cars as I would be there with my 1970 Chevelle. Girls in bikinis, Frisbees being thrown, Van Halen playing on boom boxes and car stereos and the smell of herbs being cooked and spilled beers. It was a great time, then the Wayne county sheriff had to slowly creep in and ruin everything as the years progressed.
If I have to constantly look forward, I would just steer the damn thing. It is cool technology but isn't buying me much if I can't do other stuff while it drives.
The average household income in America could not even dream of affording a truck like this.
Just bought one.Thoes of you worried about the eng. For extra thousand got 7 yr bumper to bumper, and the dealer owner has lifetime engine warrantees. Also got 5 thousand off sticker 1.9 for 3 yrs. 16,000 for my almost mint 13 avalanche. No way could I not do this. I'm far from rich. Also Struggling to justify a price like this for yrs. All I menchen is great. But when I saw Glacier blue metallic dual mode exhaust.
meg ride and super cruise, my heart skipped a beat. After all these yrs in love again. 😂
Man I remember when the 2019 Silverado came out I thought GM trucks were never gonna live up to Ram, but man they did there thing with the Silverado and especially Sierra. They went from worst to best in class. All we need now is a 6.2 supercharged Engine or a Twin Turbo Inline 6 engine that can have some power to compete with the Raptor and TRX
What is the purpose of the hands free driving unless you can text or watch a movie etc. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
Gimmick to drive the price up another 10k.
I hope 2025 suburban looks like this
Exhaust tips are just HDMI 1 & HDMI 2.
I want one of these trucks as my next vehicle
Love that super cruise doesn’t scream at you for not having your hands on the wheel (unlike Tesla).
$66k for the top trim level in the half ton Chevrolet lineup brand new is in my opinion very VERY nice
People saying these trucks will never get used as intended…. Back than trucks were made for farmers or people who worked in the outdoors. But now they’re used to haul other vehicles around. This is why they make them so expensive and luxurious because it’s a totally different market now in days. Some of these guys are hauling vehicles for days u til they get to their destination. And most if not all sleep in their trucks. So a more spacious and luxurious truck makes sense. And they’re also gettin paid well to haul… they can afford it cuz they bring in the income. But if your earning barely 40-50k a month and want to finance a 80k truck without getting money out of it, than yeah probably the loaded truck with all the bells and whistles is not for you.
GM did a great job with the interior redesign. Too bad they didn't get the SUVs completed for the 2024 models.
Definitely need this for my target and sams club runs.
Your info states 66k? I have the 2024 HC 5.3 without super cruise or Hud, and no moonroof and MSRP is 69k.
Did I miss something?
Got mine today replace my silverado 2019(high country), loved the previous, will love this one too.
Beautiful truck! Powerhouse too. I’ve always loved the way these sound. Just wish they were reliable.
Tell me about it! Maintenance to keep this running past the warranty period will be high! 😢
Wish they make an EV out of this trim instead of the crazy Silverado EV. 😮😮
I imagine this is what Trucker will have soon. Take over in small street and ramp, drive itself in long highway.
Agree on the gear lever.
Love the camera angle. Really makes you feel like you're driving. Doing some research on which 1500 to buy. But I have to say that until 99 percent of the cars on the road have a self driving ability I personally don't need/want it. Honestly to me it's more of a useless novelty at the moment. I personally would love to see a grid type of system for interstate driving eventually. With cars automatically spaced a good distance, you could easily go 90 mph or higher. Of course you'd have to address semis and their speed governors.
Damn that’s a beauty
The shifter there is why iam buying one
Kind of looks like a massive Honda Ridgeline from the side profile haha. Love it. Too bad it's a GM
This is so good! I might just wait until 2025 to buy the new HD ZR2. Maybe GM will add this feature next year to the other models. IMO, this is 100% worth the money.
you or the right man to show that truck off you have done everything that i am doing🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Imagine once it’s fully self driving. I’ll be using this truck after a night at the bar lol.
i think the higher trim rams are more luxurious. even have ventilated seats in the back
L mode on the shifter is for limiting the top gear. Primarily for towing. It's not meant to duplicate a manual mode with the paddles.
What are those flashing LEDs on the steering wheel? I am assuming it is infrared and you don't see it in person but the camera can pick it up. That does not seem like a good idea for the retinas in our eyes because our retinas can still get damaged by infrared.
They detect where you are looking for the Supercruise.
Very impressive. Looking to purchase a new truck. Heading to the Chevy dealer this afternoon. Q. What POV camera did you use to create your video? Thanks… 👍🏼
Have they resolved the lifter failure issue on these? Also not a fan of stop/start feature. Otherwise a great truck.
you can buy a start/stop delete plug
Pricey but damn, that's a nice truck.
I need it to drive when I'm NOT looking not just throw up it's hands and say "I quit!"
Incredible how far trucks have come lately!
If you need a truck as a luxury car you don't need a truck.
Damn that super cruise is badass. If I was rich I’d cop one
The blinking steering wheel is horrendous. Also a young lady just died locally xmas eve cuz her car somehow drove into one of those suburban drainage lakes. it alerted her emergency contacts and first responders from the bottom of the lake. they arrived on scene (way late) and couldnt find the car. tox report was unremarkable. Makes ya wonder. Ill pass on the self driving cars thanks.
I'm late but I saw nobody replied. Just wanted to give you a heads up that light isn't actually there, it's infrared which shows up on cameras but not to our eyes. If you have a tv remote and point your phone camera at it you can see a similar light
Not for nothing, but any gearbox is gonna be “buttery smooth” when it’s brand new 🥴 I’ll tell ya what tho, if you keep shifting into gears that don’t match the speed, it won’t be 😮💨
So it stops driving itself when you look away? That’s arguably the most important time you need it to drive itself. Lol
Absolutely excellent review
after reading the comments, I feel like I'm one of the only ones who thinks this is actually a lot of car (truck) for 66k
Not to be a debbie downer but this truck isnt 66k - thats the base MSRP before options. It actually comes out to 77-78k "as tested" in this video.
@@highbrassruleand it’s still a lot considering what the competition is trying to sell you for $78k.
@@G-Rated Dont worry i wasnt bashing it, its a gorgeous truck
You have to pay a subscription for supercruise and the cost of the option is like 3500
@@terrymertz1923 You have to pay a subscription for Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple services, Google services, etc. I’m not sure why y’all want to make it an issue when *gm* does it.
I have 22 LTZ that has everything this HC has except power running boards and super cruise and the HC badging. I have the 5.3L V8. I opted for the multifunction tailgate. I had a 2019 HC with the 6.2L which I can say is nice but is a fuel hog. I do have adaptive CC which is nice. I’m a little leary of the super cruise. Btw, You can change the gauge cluster look in the center menu. Also, if you don’t subscribe to a Onstar data plan, you cannot use the built in Google maps. I use my Google maps thru my iPhone. I also added a Pedal Commander, which wakes up the 5.3 and makes it feel as quick as the 6.2. Otherwise, nice truck.
On a side note, there are NO 12V outlets anywhere in or on the truck, just USB ports. I wish GM would bring them back. Otherwise, if you want a 12V outlet, you can get a USB to 12V adapter.
I literally love it
GMC is king
Changing the gear place is the best so far
I was amazed and entertained 😮😊😊
Love the interior for the most part, screens are a love/hate thing for me. Absolutely hate the shifter but besides that its a sharp truck. Also hate the afm/dfm or whatever their calling it for the gen, in the middle of a dod delete on my 2017 right now.
How does Super Cruise compare to Kia/Hyundai Highway Drive Assist 2 on latest Telluride/Palisade?
These have been breaking down all across the country
What a car man.
I find bose, regardless of vehicle, always sounds good. Also, suprised there aren't cooled seats in the rear.
It's very mediocre. I've had worse systems, but it is fairly muddy sounding regardless of how you adjust the settings. My last vehicle had a 15 speaker Harmon Kardon system that was actually probably the best system I've had in a vehicle without aftermarket upgrades.
based on the crappy road conditions it appears you are in Michigan.
I get thee on a horse 🐎 rising trot when yer walking thee camera around that very nice pickup 👌.
I love M14, your going 80 and people are passing you. I have the same truck with super cruise but with the 3.0 diesel, Love It 28-30mpg on the highway.
