Meet ‘General Giant’, the new addition to our truck fleet. It’s a 1992 AM General M35A3 military truck that has been refreshed by our friends at Boyce Equipment. Roman and I take it to our favorite place – Moab, Utah. This is our first off-road shakedown. Let’s see what it’s like to drive off-road!This truck started its life as a 6×6 two and a half ton military truck, aka. “Deuce and a Half”. The team at Boyce Equipment chop off part of the rear frame and turn it into a giant 4×4 pickup truck.

Both of these models are being offered with a gasoline engine as a ranger extender for up to 500 miles of total driving range. Let’s dig into all the details. First, the Scout Motors factory construction is making progress. This factory is near Blythewood, South Carolina. The “paint shop” part of the factory is complete.

Why is the Chevy Tahoe so popular? Jen and I take a look at and drive this 2025 Tahoe RST with the new Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel I6 engine. This sporty-looking RST is rolling on 24s. Let’s dig in!The Tahoe and Suburban lineup have been redesigned for the 2025 model year. These full-size SUVs have a new look up front, and an updated interior. This RST hides a couple surprises. First, it’s powered by a new 3.0L turbo-diesel inline-6 engine with 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque.

This truck is several years in the making. I want to introduce you to David’s newest build. This is project “Helen”. It’s a versatile 4×4 truck that was built for under $30,000 and countless amount of hours. David started this project over two years ago, and several things interrupted it. Now, it’s running, driving, and picking up other trucks. Project “Helen” is a combination of four or five different GM pickup trucks. The main part is a 1970s square body 3/4-ton Chevy truck.

We hope the 2024 Gladiator gets some updates.

@asmirnov12 @TFLtruck Awesome job with the RAM REV/Jeep Wrangler updates today! Just wondering though, will the changes to the 2024 Wrangler be coming to the 2024 Gladiator as well? Thanks and keep up the great work!

We hope to do some more with older trucks soon.

@asmirnov12 I’m looking into buying a older diesel, thinking lmm duramax , any chance of doing the ike with some older truck n how they compare to newer half tons @TFLtruck #bestshow

Thank you for watching.
@asmirnov12 just saw the recent snow tire test, great job! I was thinking I'd like to see a similar test with a Silverado. Run it 2wd, with 4wd Auto, 4H and 4L. I'd be interested what the acceleration and breaking results would be in snow. Thanks!
