Nice video Kyle!!

Looked like a 5 sec 0 to 60 by my count. That is a beast to move that much weight that fast.

Thank you! It’s no slouch that’s for sure!

Here is another test drive video to help keep us occupied. This one is of the 2021 Limited trim. The truck is equipped with the 3.5 liter PowerBoost powertrain. It seems to be a pretty detailed video. The guy is wearing a chest or head mounted GoPro style camera as he drives. Throughout the video you can hear some of the Sync 4’s automated voice talking to the driver.

You can also see the Active Drive Assist in action around the 7:00 mark and again at 10:50.

There is also a 0-60 mph run at 16:40.

OMG!!!
I have watched that video several times. That truck is a beast. I guarantee you I will not be getting 24 miles per gallon as my foot will be in it most of the time.

I know, right? The owner’s manual states a 1,000 mile break in period before any hard acceleration, heavy towing, or heavy braking. I don’t know if I can wait that long to feed some speed to her and hear those whooshing turbos!!

The rest I can do.

*rear ends someone*

"Oh sorry, I wasn't allowed to do any heavy braking according to the manual, since I haven't hit 1,000 miles yet"

With that new 12” digital instrument cluster, there is no redline marker on the tach, sooooooooo..... ?

That’s why the Max Tow Package has those upgraded bumpers!!

Ha! As the hosts on YouTube’s TFL Truck frequently say: “With an EcoBoost, you can only be ‘Eco’ or ‘Boost’, never both.”

I like how GM approached the break-in period with the Corvette. At 500 miles (or there about), the tach changes to let you know you can 'let'er rip taterchip'!

I’ve seen that. If I remember correctly, the car physically won’t let you drive overly hard during that period due to how it’s calibrated.
