Though this episode of the Livestream was a bit more freeform, the truck talk started off with a conversation about GMC’s record prices, which were revealed in a media briefing this week. Without giving away too many details (watch the episode!), the average transaction price for a GMC — trucks and SUVs — was $59,111. When you look into the Denali sub-brand, that’s where you really see GMC’s record prices in play.
The bulk of the episode was used to dig into a few viewer emails Esterdahl has received recently, including one that shows off some shoddy build quality of a Ram Rebel — it was so bad that the viewer refused to accept delivery. Another topic of conversation? Slide-in campers. We’re trying to get to the bottom of a curious sticker in the glove box of most 1500 trucks that says you can’t use a slide-in camper with that trim. We’ve already published one video, but we’re waiting for actual answers before posting a follow up.
There was also a challenge issued that had Ciminillo wearing an Irish green winter hat for the end of the episode.
Ciminillo and Esterdahl rounded out the episode with a look at what’s on the website, including a potential Nissan electric truck, leaked photos of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma, the Ford Mustang Mach-E price drop, Dodge Dakota rumors and a small GM truck concept that could mean there’s one in the works.
