We feel for you Jay! Boy that was a tough one. Yep, by the 8 or 9th time we pretty much all got that "it's 90% based on the Colorado ZR2 and meant to carry 9 people in and out of the fight as quickly as possible". But Jay was really trying. Jay: "Hey! this thing's got manual shifting capabilities" Steve: "Yep, "it's 90% based on the Colorado ZR2 and meant to carry ....." Jay: 'Hey, the power steering is really sweet" Steve: "Yep, "it's 90% based on the Colorado ZR2 and meant to carry ...." Jay (Internal voice): Never Mind...
Jay: what do you like to eat for lunch?
GM Guy: well Jay, with all the investments GM has done we can get a commercial grade GM lunch.
That would be an army specification GM lunch.
Dude must be so nervous around Leno and the cameras he's lapsing into his sales pitch. Leno may as well be a colonel.
and taxpayers only pay 300,000 for each one, if you want it painted thats an extra 30,000
I had to turn to sound off
I have waste my time on the huge investment GM has done to burn taxpayers money on a overpriced price of junk
I was curious what the comments would be like on this particular episode. I was glad I was not disappointed.
I'm only 6 minutes in, but this dude is giving me TELL ME YOUR A SALESMAN/LAWYER without saying it VIBES 🤣🤣
I'm sure that our next adversary will appreciate them when we leave a couple thousand of them behind ;-)
NO KEYS! Just start it up and go!
I think Afghans can drive stick.
Was thinking the same
They should just drop a few thousand off at my house instead of paying to transport em across the globe lol
Hilarious that people are mad about this now after the US already spent 40 years literally giving arms to terrorists in the middle east..
Lost count on how many times ‘GM Investment’ was mentioned!! Hilarious! What a cool vehicle.
GM investment, eventually winding up as Taliban property thank to our "government intelligence" 🙄
@@SerPurple51 hilarious watching you people get fake mad about this despite the fact that the US has been giving away billions of dollars of arms to "terrorist" groups across the globe for decades now..
did you care this much when republicans started their latest forever war in the first place? I doubt it..
Oh man,when I see this cool vehicle with no doors, no windows, no ballistic protection it makes me wanna join the army!
After the Water Luge! …..🌊
We’re in The Army Now!
There have been plenty of un armoured vehicles throughout history and in current service, not everyone gets an APC and not everyone needs an APC.
It would be a sitting duck in ambush corridors
@@ArtVandelayOfficial like most other vehicles, including armoured ones. an ambush is deadly no matter the vehicle. MBT's don't operate without infantry for a reason
No protection in this case may mean the soldiers can utilize their weapons while moving. Imagine multiple soldiers aiming at multiple targets....
I was in the Army when the Hummer was new and it had a clumsy 100hp v8 diesel and it didn’t have any protection....
How do you know if someone's a helicopter pilot? Because they'll tell you. This guys "I love me wall" must be epic.
Again it's designed again based on GM's long history. "Is this welded by robots or people?" Again it's designed based on GM right, again, this was based on GM for military specifications and again it's designed based on GM's long history. Again, this was designed by GM defense right, and performance motorsports. Again...
Absolutely, those of us old enough remember the CUCV family of GM junk that replaced the M151/M880 series of vehicles too.
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed him side step Jay question.
The GM guy doesn't even hear Jay, he's just trying to fill up the time with his pre-scripted narrative. He'll be perfect to run for office.
Who did you say designed the vehicle?
Shortly after that non-answer the camera panned past a pretty messy looking weld on the roll cage.
Steve duMont from GM Defense sure liked to flash his Class Ring for the camera. When I was in the military we called them "ring knockers". 😀
I noticed that too! I am of the opinion that you can only wear your class ring for so long and then "retire" it. In my case I have my class ring from Engineering school in a box. One day I plan to make a shadow box with the ring in between my Degrees (I have two). I currently wear my Alumni signet ring which is MUCH more "subdued"...
👍😬
I could ask this guy about the weather and he would tell me about GM. I don't know how Jay deals with these non-answers.
A few minutes in the guys sales pitch was the same over and over Just like a damaged vinyl record
Jay spent decades listening to people hock their crap, he's an expert at this point
He has "20 plus years of experience in the defense industry". That explains the last 20 years.
I think that means he served in the armed forces for 20 years. I did my 20 and took it that way.
@@phillipfortson9099 All of it.
What's the worst thing to happen in the last 20 years?
Steve, Never stop talking, if he doesn't work out in the military side of the business he can always transition to preowned vehicle salesman.
Hey now I sold cars before but know when to shut up... this clown has diarrhea of the mouth
Put you into a sweet '06 Russian twelve passenger tactical transport with Syrian Army markings for ten percent over cost plus shipping and "related expenses."
He’s absolutely an Apache pilot….. they never shut up
Or a politician
I'm only ten minutes in and I'm already bored with his sales talk. It doesn't matter what Jay asks him, he answers with the points he wants to talk about.
He keeps saying “18 year old kid” like it’s not the most messed up thing in the world..
for real. these guys are bloodthirsty maniacs.
College isn't going to pay for itself...if you'll agree to murder people for resources we'll pay for college. If you don't die
It's ok, he's not telling you that floor mounted rail system that supposedly converts to hold "stretchers" was for quick deploy robots.
@@PimpDaddyDisco sounds like we need to speed more of our money on public education and less on “defense”. So we don’t have teenagers literally putting their lives on the line for an education. The US is the richest nation in history for godsakes.
@@PimpDaddyDisco How the heck is it murder???? It is called WAR smh, some people
I'd feel like a sitting duck rolling into combat on that fully open albatross.
It's not meant for combat....JLTV is meant for combat operations.
It’s for doing practice combat on the base. We’re not at war in Iraq and Afghanistan anymore.
@@z.bongerman1062 Currently looking for another target.
Most HUMVEEs aren't armored either...
Looks like I opened up a can of worms, with my comment here.
Poor Jay! Every time he has some corporate guy on he can't get a straight answer to any questions. This suit is just loaded up with BS marketing talk. It seems like he even wants to talk to Jay like a real person, but if he doesn't hit all of his "talking points" he'll probably get in trouble. So they turned a pickup into a big dune buggy that runs on lamp oil. Cool enough I guess.
Did he say he worked for GM?
I like your description better.
Runs on lamp oil, you cracked me up! Thanks for the brilliant comment.
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!
Hahaha why do the old Corp guys have to wear skinny jeans!!!😀
The Taliban say that they go through the rough terrain of Afghanistan very well.
"But they still prefer Toyota Land Cruisers".
You win comment of the day.
I thought the exact same thing! "Let's Go Brandon" hahah
Ouch
That GM salesman is tireless selling this truck.
Taliban probably has already test drove it but they would still like the Toyota.
If 90 percent of this truck comes from off the shelf GM parts. So it's just like other GM products - garbage.
They were awarded the contract just because bribing the politicians
Can't show the dashboard because there's a label saying: "A Fool and His Money are soon Parted"
Also the GM guy, we can talk about the motor but we can't show you... Really??
I say 'a fool with money is like a mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it ,and damned if he knows how to use it.
Leafsprings. Thats some high tech.
That's them leveraging decades of GM technology!
But on the other hand, they're good at doing variable rate for changes in load, right? This thing with 9 guys with combat gear is going to be pretty weighted down.
Leafs last longer in this sort of application because they're not flexing as far as coils.
I have worked on and been a primary instructor for the GMV 1.1 Flyer Vehicle in the SOCOM community since 2016. Before that I was building some prototypes for the 1.1 at MSG. I have known the vehicle since it,was a prototype brought to group. GM won this for political reasons and not capabilities.
I would assume this holds true for most military contracts
@@racer1969 EVERY Military contract🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not surprised, of course what is best for the guys who are risking their lives isn't the top consideration.
Interesting how comments are now getting purged here. They are actively doing damage control in the comments.
So basically gm underbid every other company and America cheaped out to get this thing while gm makes millions from a dune buggy with lift points and a roll cage?
In think GM is leveraging their long history to build this military vehicle but I can’t be sure…..
Mr. Leno, I view you as a living national treasure; thank you for your continued efforts. However sir at 7 minutes and 45 seconds I could no longer keep my excellent dinner down and continue to listening to this individual from GM.
I made it 12 minutes because I was reading comments. Garbage sales talk.
Ah come on 330,000 each paid for by the tax payer a 1/4 billion dollar tax payer paid for grant for 600 vehicles is such a smart investment by the tax payer... this thing is a joke, how we all keep going along with our tax dollars being wasted on garbage like this is amazing.
The GM rep. never answered any of Jay's questions with yes or no. Instead just did a lot of talking which ultimately didn't answer the question. That's frustrating. This guy is just irritating. And what the heck is a "war fighter," is that anything like soldier?
war fighter is meant to include others like mercenaries or irregulars who are not official soldiers but might find themselves in combat
If you say "soldier", you disrespect the sailors, airmen, and Marines who also would use the vehicle. "Warfighter" is a general, catch-all term.
Warfighter may mean robot. That floor mounted rail system wasn't designed just to slide stretchers in.
It’s a generic term to cover all branches of the military. Soldier, airmen, marine, seamen, etc. Don’t forget your pronouns
Well, a lot of people fighting over there are contractors/mercs and not strictly soldiers...
My neighbor could build you one of these from a old suburban for $500 and a case of beer.
I think that's the point. Quicker and cheaper. But I mean, I'm sure out government still wildly overpaid
It's 2.8 "duramax "is probably the government no emissions version. Probably no def,no dpfs and no need to regen / problematic sabotage that commercial market gets..just reliable and fuel efficient. My educated guess
Several minutes into this bad commercial, I stopped listening to the drivel from the GM guy, and started thinking about the comments this would generate. You did not disappoint.
The GM guy is a former Army Officer. Maybe he knows what the grunts need?
So you're saying it's a commercial for a vehicle which is not even sold?
@@Jp75402 He is an ex-pilot that was using helicopter that have plenty of armor on it to protect the pilot(on top of the significant speed)...
One guy with single AK-47 on full auto can kill all that 9 people inside this vehicle before they will be able to react.
The boys at Toyota, HiLux are like….oh yea, cool idea….
Boys at Range Rover / Land Rover … ooo don’t get too creative there mate
Taliyotas be running circles around these.
Best believe TRD ain't worried about GM at all
@@frankvilla3622 i dont see TuRD winning any mil contracts
This character is the perfect example of a politician, he'll tell you any thing except the answer to the question you asked him, they should all be gotten rid of.
Calm down, he's in a pretty awkward position trying to fill out 25min of video by discussing specifics without actually being allowed to discuss the specifics. Ignorant comment.
He's a PR guy. Period. All corporations use PR people for publicity. What would you expect, a neutral critique?
See, he is a perfect example of a politician. You already have supporters making excuses for his bad behavior.
That coporate guy was loaded with sales points! As for international customers, It's simple we go to war get nothing done then bug out leaving the inventory behind. International customers get it for free
He was in the military for 7 and a half years …
@@matthewnightz8295 and he's still a nincom m8 what does the amount of time spent have to do with all that lmao
Not entirely true, before the US shows up, they give weapons away to all the existing terrorist groups, THEN show up to fight against those terrorists for 20 years, THEN leave having accomplished nothing
"but will it do doughnuts?"
No, not really.
You could see the video was sped up.
That was the moment Jay got fed up with his bs sales pitch! Haha
It does have an automatic stop for donuts.
@@lukespack LMAO!
To be fair, it’s probably AWD, so no, it won’t do donuts, by definition.
I'm really surprised that GM didn't leverage any of their huge investment in the Chevy Colorado and racing. Maybe they did and the GM rep just didn't mention it..... 😬
We could do a drinking game with this vid. Every time the fella in skinny jeans says "our long history" or mentions how 90% are GM commercial parts take a shot. Youll be hammered in no time.
1 thing we know for sure… their leveraging years of GM experience in racing 🤷♂️
Yes which they have already paid for including a well known vehicle called the humvee so what he is really saying is we paid to go racing and have fun then the military says they need a new rig Gm said hey take that racing thing throw some extra crap at it oh and tell them we will eat the rnd.
@@Callsign_Fredrick877 corporate merica my fried
I have never given a thumbs down to a Jay Leno video before but this one is some heavy NBC/GM/Military Industrial Complex propaganda.
I've never thumbed up a guy who talked $hit about the general!
Jay: So, is this rollbar machine- or hand welded?
Guy: WELL now again, I will talk about defense a little bit, you think about the speed and the infantry etc etc etc
It's a simple question, GM man.
It's chromoly steel, just like in NASCAR, you know how fast those go, right?
Jay should know that everything critical nowadays is done with robotic welding, especially when done on a mass scale. Does he really think a company as big as GM and GM Motorsports are having guys hand weld things?? Cmon jay
@@John_Redcorn_ whoosh
Thanks for supporting our troops Jay!
Glad to have met you this weekend.
Is that really you?
Jay's face when he drove through water said it all ...
Was the best part of the whole thing. 😂
I am a huge Jay Leno‘s garage fan and look forward to the new shows every Monday morning but…. This was the first time that I felt like fast forwarding to the end just to be done with it. Sorry Jay, this vehicle was not worth your time. There is nothing extraordinary about it
Jay has to do these when asked. He knows where his bread is buttered. It doesn't mean he enjoys it though.
@@aussie2uGA interesting. This show was so far out of his usual fare, you may be right
better than euro cars
Well said. Worst episode ever. ;)
Why all the hush-hush about the Fiat engine ?
WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHOW THE DASH!!!
4:24 Congratulations you played yourself.
I feel like we could make a drinking game out of the catchphrases and sales lingo Steve has used. Jay just wants to chill and cruise lol
I did route clearance in Iraq and we would be in heavily armored vehicles some of which were over 60,000 pounds. They were actually talking about doing patrols on foot because both military built and devices built in mud huts could both defeat the armor and it would hurt all of the occupants as opposed to spreading everyone out over a larger area having people 30 m apart on foot.
EFP’s?
The GM rep is a politician. Never answered the questions that Jay asked of.
All they do is beat around the bush a perfect politician.
He went to school for that.
Yes, he never answered any of Jays questions. I think he's a Democrat!😂
@@larrywilliams3620 It does not mater from what party he might be they are ALL politicians! Only looking out for themselves.
@@larrywilliams3620 Someone sounds upset that republicans are considered a corrupt joke
did this guy answer ANY of Jays questions? yap yap yap, yap yap, yap yap sounds like my wife...
Hahaha! Or my ex wife!!
That looks like a very fun time! I wish I was riding along with them! I hope GM makes a version for civilians. Thanks Jay and GM for showing us this vehicle! It's interesting to learn about military vehicles I wouldn't normally see. Thank you Jay for always teaching us about vehicles. 🙂
Democrats would call it an assault vehicle and try to ban it because it only comes in one color.
An interesting concept...turning light infantry into modern-day dragoons. This vehicle greatly increases the deployment (LZ) options of airborne / heliborne troops... an ISV, in less than an hour, could cover distances that would take whole day of hard marching on foot (been there, done that).
Better still, the removes the 'predictability' that an enemy uses to defend against air-inserted forces, _that_ alone increases the survivability of air delivered assets...and mission success.
Poor Jay tolerating that corporate dork - hilarious.
Beer gut Dads working at GM should NOT wear skinny jeans with button down corporate shirts and biz shoes. OMG. Someone make it stop!
Check out the massive size of his gold ring.
He’s a woke hipster that needs to go wipe the sh&t off his face.
@@eldonnparks8059 That's a MASONIC ring to you...
There's a fold crease horizontally across his chest making it look as though it's a brand new shirt taken off a shelf a minute before the vid. As former military, he should have insisted on ironing it first.... wait.... he was a pilot. They don't know how to op an iron.
AGREED
Best Part... Jay Hammers It Into The Water... Gets Soaked...
And Is Grinning From Ear To Ear....
Jay's perfect 'having an absolute blast' grin is priceless! 22:50. Gotta get that framed and hang it in the garage somewhere...😄
Cool vehicle jay, thanks for showing us
How the hell did they chop off basically 80% of the truck and it still comes in over 5000 lbs
With a chromoly cage, too
Steel is heavy. 5000 pounds of steel is 10.14 cubic feet, or a cube 2.16 feet on each side. Small enough to fit under your desk, if it didn't go through the floor. One cubic yard of steel weighs more than 13, 300 pounds.
Your boy on complete salesman mode 😭😭🤣🤣
I'm just mad that salesman used the word LETHALITY in a sentence. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #bars🤣🤣
I'd like to see him market the vaccines 😉
This guy just can't stop "selling" just sounds like he's trying to convince himself over and over again that it isn't a big joke and failure lol
well, he needs to make the sale because those gaudy pinky-rings don't come cheap
Why do you say it's a failure?
*His skinny jeans are restricting blood flow back to his coconut*
I wonder if it's based of off the Colorado ZR2?
He reminds me of every other full of crap, boy scout, a hole officer, I ever encountered.
This GM guy is such a tool, why need to oversell the thing, they already got the contract and not many is going to pay $60k for a little Chevy Colorado ZR2
Don't know if they said here but the base price is $177,000.00 which should be criminal and you know there won't be any base models
Right! Buy a used Colorado yank body off it. Build roll cage and add Mustang front clip. Boom done for less than 10k.
@@harryballzack 1979 called, they want their Mustang front clip back.
Aw, the haters are here
@@norsevikingsir4932 I think everybody's disappointed in GM for it's non-innovation... Across the board.
I hope that the GM execs who think that this is a good idea have to sit in it while driving through IED country.
The military puts out a request with requirements. GM builds a vehicle to meet those requirements. The fact it doesn't protect the occupants from IEDs is not GM's decision.
As the government has demonstrated, people are expendable.
lol you think corporate republicans would ever put themselves or their children in danger lol
Not a problem when robots will be driving them soon
@@MrCarGuy With that particular vehicle, if there's no humans in it, then what's the point?
The whole purpose of having this guy represent GM is to show "GM made so much investments into their technologies.. " he said that couple of dozen times. Couldn't they sent a different and more technical guy who can answer questions?
This is a perfect demonstration of what it takes to move up the corporate ladder. Cheer lead like a 15 year old and never - NEVER - answer a question. Be careful Jay, he was treating you like a tool and saw this video as a means to sell himself to his bosses.
If you could fold the tubular overhead framing you could stack two or three for air transport.
This guy has a real knack for answering simple, yes-or-no questions, with 9,387 words... which don't actually address the question asked.
Jay was having a blast putting it through its paces....
... just answer the question... WHAT design specifications did you meet for this vee-hick-lle??
MIL SPEC "piss away money"
Exactly 1,800 feet or the paint start's peeling.
How much do you think we're paying for a pickup with no body? I'm guessing Lambo money?
$450,000 each unit so far.
That way GM can sell them the doors and roofs later
Way too much. Give cleetus an old hilux, some welding equipment, and he can make you a better truck for 10k or less.

Your in the Army now. Thanks Jay. 😎👍🇨🇦
Thirty years ago I'd be building a miniature one, adding NO STEP stickers then hauling my GI Joes to their next adventure.
User manuals are also written in Pashto so the taliban will know how to operate it effectively
Hence the "no key required - push button start"
@@aussie2uGA not to mention that the bedsheets the Taliban wear don’t have pockets to carry around keys
Very very cool! Thank you to GM for designing and building this to help keep our soldiers safe. And thank you Jay for featuring it on your channel.
Thanks for the ride Mr. Leno. God bless the USA
This is such a marketing guy... It gets irritating
I wonder if they are LEVERAGING THE INVESTMENT THAT GM HAS MADE?
Not sure. Ill have to watch the video again
That isn't "leveraging", it's simply promotion. which is that guy's JOB.
Units have been bringing these to JRTC train with for the last 2 years I've talked to the guys that use them, they love them and they explain to me that it's not a combat vehicle it's designed to haul them and their gear within a kilometer of their objective where the leave them parked then move in and out on foot
Jay is a honor see you enjoying, driving and show us this marvel of automotive
That sounded more like an advert for GM.
That's his JOB, idiot!
@@WCM1945 Clearly sarcasm doesn't travel well.
And then everybody ends up using Land Cruisers anyway.
Forestry and Fire-Rescue services are gonna love those. Film and TV people will be looking at how many camera mount options that cage offers, and Tom Cruise will be asking if he can jump it back in to the C-130 as the plane dives over a cliff.
I want one! great video. thanks
Interesting vehicle. There seems to be a lot of repeated comments (reuse of GM commercial parts, investment by GM, etc) which could’ve been edited to make this more relevant. Came across more like a commercial for GM Defence.
Gale Banks sees that rectangular-profile differential cover and tears up.
I have watched thousands of automotive CZcams videos, and in my opinion this vehicle has the best sounding exhaust I have ever heard. Crazy thing. Love to see Jay blasting this thru its paces. Great video J team!
You mean that rattling sound of coke can hitting the frame?
"We can't show the dashboard" and then they show half the dashboard at 4:25. Good job!
"well Jay... Its a ,Its a, commercial grade side by side that offers no protection whatsoever !"
Dont worry, we'll buy it !! (and leave the keys and the manuals on the front seat when we bail and leave the entire fleet in our enemies country..)
sound familiar ???
Uh-huh. . . Interesting video - and I can see why this man can work with the goverment/miltary - did he ever answer the MPG question? Or did I hear him just go off talking as though he were asked a completly different question. . .
Yeah, that's exactly where I've paused the video to comment and decide if I'm going to watch any more. Maybe I'll fast-forward through Mr. GM's rambling. He DOES eventually shut up, right?
@@michaelhoward142 -- you see, it's about speed, and we have designed this to military specs and can have this delivered in a short time, beause 90% of this vehicle is from the GM parts bin. . . NO, he never shuts up! I never could finish -- I do like how Jay just gets to where he interupts his pitch..
Watch the video dude. He said about 20mpg
HE SAID 20 MPG.
@@WCM1945 thanks --
Great one! I would of tried to push it harder but good job! Now I want one like that lol!😁
Brings to mind. Mad Max
I am struggling to get through this video. Every time Jay asks a simple question, this guy rambles off on a tangent like he doesn't even know the answer. He ruins this video.
Did they dump loose dirt in the corners just so they could slide it? Sad.
Edit: Finally forced my way to the end. Probably the most painful Leno's Garage video I've ever watched.
I thought the lesson of Afghanistan was up-armoring the fleet of Humvees. It looks like this vehicle carries more soldiers and less gear than a Humvee, and goes much faster. I’m just a lowly civilian watching military issues play out on the news. If the Army wants this, then it’s great. I hope it delivers on its mission and that our soldiers are transported safely 100% of the time. I don’t quite understand how this fits into a world of MRAP’s and drones.
Army ordered 649 (that’s an odd number) makes me think they will be used as a transport vehicle around a base. Not so much in action.
I saw three of these arriving at Eglin Test 'Range about a year ago. I was curious about the large doon buggies at that time.
He literally made Jay go nuts!
“Made to GM standards”. Military is fkd.
🤣🤣
yep
That's exactly what I thought too when I heard that
" Generic Motors " LOL.
GM needs to make a civilian version for 4x4 off-roading. And one thing, is anyone getting notifications from this channel? I haven't had one notification from Mr. Leno since August.
same! been looking for a fix
I've seen the results of dropped 105 How. when one of the parachute straps failed. It landed upside down and did some damage.
It was a great interview under pressure.
Can't wait to see the electric version.
I hope they build a lot of charging stations in the middle of the battlefield so our guys can come safe home 🤡
You mean there are gas stations in the jungle, desert and whatnot, just waiting for the troops? WHoa, never knew that.
@@WI5EBLOOD You can airdrop gas cans easily. Batteries? lol. nevermind the waste. Not to mention ghas has about 100 times the energy density (power pr lb) as batteries do.
@@nobodynoone2500 Not sure I agree with you there. Have you ever seen an electric rig on trail? They are many times more efficient at covering ground than the most efficient diesel. The drawback is on the road at high speeds, not on trail - they are in their element there - torque is linear, and massive, you don't have parasitic parts for extra friction and you don't have to rev-up to get traction. You're not wasting energy at "idle". Compared to a gasser, they go a long ways. They're also safer, (if not pouch battery pack), and they don't leak in case of a rollover.
@@nobodynoone2500 OH, the energy density means nothing when your engine wastes up to 80% of that energy on heat alone.
@@nobodynoone2500 For long expeditions, sure, I'd use diesel. For single-day stealth missions, definitely electric. Albeit in a couple of decades batteries will be so dense, and photovoltaics so efficient, that that's also gonna change.
Jay: Gm make a civil version.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: 😎 I'll be back
Oldman Jay !!!!! tnx you
Why is the sky blue? Because God loves the Infantry! 🦅🖤
Sorry Jay, couldn’t listen to his sales pitch till the end. First one of your videos I haven’t watched beginning to end. ☹️
So this is why the EPA allowed GM to sell a diesel in the Colorado, they needed to be able to say they had a civilian version. EPA is so anti diesel manufactures sell diesel engines every where else but not in USA.
SSgt Dumont! Fantastic. Love it brother. - Jeeta
Sweet truck! Now I need to figure out how they uprated it to that power figure.
15:22 engine power 375 HP and it uses JP8!
