2015 Silverado Gets Pushed to the Limit Off-roading in the Mud!

YouTuber finds that a little mud can quickly turn a trail into a Slip ‘N Slide.

Now that Taco Tuesday’s come and gone, it’s time for your favorite day of the week: “Off-roading Wednesdays” on Chevrolet Forum! Each Wednesday, we present to you the funnest, funniest, wildest videos around, starring none other than everyone’s favorite Chevy trucks and SUVs. From classics to the newest of the new, if it’s rocking in the great outdoors, we’ve got it.

This week, we head back in time to early June of 2016. There, YouTuber Zachariah Malaki hangs out with his GMC Sierra, while his friend has a little fun in his new 2015 Silverado.

The show starts with Malaki chilling behind his Sierra, then walking over to the shallow mud pit in front. His friend ambles in from the brush in the Silverado, splashing water and mud before sliding into the turn.

Malaki’s friend rolled his Silverado back up to a stop, then flung it back through the mud in reverse. He then slipped through the pit again to take the long way back through the brush for more good muddy fun.

A brief time later, the Silverado returns for a second round of slipping and sliding in the mud pit, once again drifting around the corner to a stop. The truck is then backed up through the pit with enough speed to make the wheels spin. Malaki happens to spot something off about the rig on this run, though.

“You broke you a plastic piece off,” Malaki said. “You’re gonna need to take that off now. I told you to take it off.”

The piece in question is the front air dam. Normally used to improve fuel economy by reducing air resistance, most owners pop it off before heading out to adventures away from the highways and back roads.

A little busted air dam wouldn’t stop the fun, though. The Silverado splashes through the mud pit one more time, followed by a slidey swing to the right out through the bush once more. All that remained was a few soft ruts and a lifetime of memories.
