- What's going on guys, I'm Baker with Custom Offsets.
and today we are going to stand out here in the rain
and discuss something that we hear all the time.
And that is, I haven't lifted my truck
because I don't wanna make it impractical
and I can't use it every day.
So we picked up this stock 2020 1500 Sierra
to go against our lifted 2020 Silverado 1500
to just show you how practical
and usable lifting your truck actually is.
Now, so let us have some fun.
First things first shout out
to the Holiday Automotive down in Fond du Lac
for hooking us up with the stock truck,
as well as that's where I bought mine from.
So if you're looking for a truck, be sure to check them out.
So let's get into what we got stock here.
So this is going to be 2020 GMC 1500.
This is gonna be the elevation series,
but it's a regular four-wheel drive 5.3 liter.
Literally nothing done to it,
window sticker is still in it.
Mine on the other hand,
2020 Silverado 1500, same color, same 5.3,
but this one has the six inch super lift
with the King coils.
You get some 24 by 14 arc-on and 37 by 13.5 gladiators,
ADD bumpers, this one's lifted, right?
So we're gonna take these two
and we'll show you that they can both do the same stuff.
Hi guys, so first things first they tell me,
you wanna know, can the truck do a burnout?
We're in a stock Sierra 1500.
We've done one with my truck I know we can,
we just need a little help from this button right here.
Hold traction, control off,
Keep holding, yes, he off.
Then we wait for the go-ahead from Lawson.
(car engine roaring)
I Did nothing.
- [Man] I would say is to it's function.
- Baker.
- (beep) What's the instruction for four-wheel drive?
(beep sound)
All right, everything off,
it looks like Lawson is ready to burnout.
(car engine roaring)
Safe to say it'll do a burnout, positive too.
All right, guys so now we'll see if,
the old-lifted truck on 37s can do a burnout.
I'm glad it rained because this is my truck.
I don't want to break anything.
(car engine roaring)
So it was a little slow going,
but it did a burnout and still spins two of them.
All right, so for the next test,
we're gonna do an acceleration test.
We've got it marked out about what's roughly an eighth mile.
It's literally three light posts,
but we're gonna see how fast this goes.
See how fast I can do it in my lifted truck.
(counter alarm)
(car engine roaring)
All right guys, so the stock truck did that in 9.37 seconds.
I really hope I can keep up with mine, lifted on.
All right, so now let's, see how fast this thing will go.
Three light pole lengths.
I don't have high hopes, I'll be honest.
(counter alarm)
(car engine roaring)
All right, so we ran the lifted truck, ran at 9.4.
So same distance, same truck, same engine,
one with the lift one without to be,
one 10th of a second off, it's pretty good.
All right guys, so for the next test,
we're gonna be hooking up a trailer to both the stock
and lifted trucks just to see how difficult it is
between the two.
(upbeat music)
All right guys, so obviously hooking up the trailer
to stock truck is pretty straight forward.
If you've ever done it before
you go to the local hardware store
and get yourself a regular old trailer hitch
with the two inch ball, you hook up your trailer,
you go on your way.
Pretty straightforward, right?
So let's see if we can do that with the lifted truck.
(upbeat music)
So obviously, holding up to lifted truck
is a little bit bigger.
You can't just go down to your,
wherever your corner hardware store
and pick up a drop hitch.
So we've got our Gen-Y on here, again, hooks up pretty nice.
We could probably use an extension on the chains
and on the wiring harness,
but hey, for the look you get with the lifted truck,
still being able to tow
with relatively simple changes to your trailer,
I think that's worth it.
All right, so another thing, another excuse, if you will,
that we always hear about why guys don't lift their trucks
is my kids can't get in and out.
So we have Huntter out here to show you
just how easy it actually is,
with a couple of other accessories
for your kids to get in and out of these trucks too.
So let's show them the stock truck first,
just climb in this---
- [Huntter] You gotta be f***ing kidding me.
- Open the back seat and get in,
and then open the back seat.
Relatively easy for the kids to get in
and out of the stock truck.
When you don't know the child locks on.
Child locks around in this one.
(beep sound)
All right, now let's just see
if kids can get in and out of the lifted truck.
Look at that, you pick yourself up some AMP steps
from Custom Offsets,
kids can still get into the lifted truck just as easy.
So can the wife.
So the one easy thing about stock truck is drafters.
I don't have to worry about curbing anything.
I don't have to worry about my roof height.
Simple.
I'd check my balance, but I have a brand new truck,
so I know I have no money.
All right, so as easy as the drive-through was
with the stock truck, once you lift it,
you kinda just got to pick your own battles guys.
Walk up to ATM, it is.
So in terms of miles per gallon,
we know which one's gonna be the winner there.
I mean, it's pretty obvious.
This one's a little bit too new,
so it's not gonna have the counter on it,
like my truck has, but I do know in stock form,
I was getting 26 miles per gallon with the stock truck.
Lifted truck on the other hand, I average about 9.6.
I do drive a little bit more aggressively now
that it is lifted, can probably get that up to about 1200,
if drove a little bit more conservatively.
And also isn't tuned,
so that's something you're gonna wanna consider
when doing your truck as well,
get some of the miles per gallon and some of the power back.
All right guys, so there you have it,
with a few extra options,
accessories and some minor lifestyle changes.
Lifted truck is just as capable just as everyday usable
as old stock truck.
So now you have no more excuses, go to customoffset.com,
pick yourself up everything you need to build your trucks,
right now.
