@joal incontrol If you'd pay attention to words, you'd know that I said it is "one of the stupidest things I've ever heard". Hey, at least you tried to roast me.
Honestly GM did the absolute best job exposing differentials. Thank you for sharing this with others. You're educating the youth to understand more vs learning on our own like we did
I have the 2.8 diesel ZR2. I love it!!! I have driven the gas version too and was not real happy with the 18 shifts to make it to the next stop light. They both are very well equipped and very functional. Cant go wrong either way. Love my 2019 ZR2! Thanks for the full review. Try the diesel next time. I think you will like it.
Hopefully i'm not the only nerd who sat through to the end for that differential explanation, neat idea to have it in there. Don't worry kids a little education never hurt you.
Last 8 or so mins were the best fkn part ! Mike I hope you watched really close and payed attention😁 get some air lockers on one of those fancy trucks of yours 😉!
Hey Mike love the channel but when you throw out towing numbers you need to be correct! The normal v6 colorado tows 7000lbs but the zr2 only tows 5000lbs because of that suspension setup. That actually made the difference for me because i tow about 6000lbs a few times a year so the zr2 doesn't work for me.
For trail riding the Colorado is perfect. Its a smaller truck so it fits into more rugged and tight places than the raptor. Now if you in a wide open desert or field, the raptor is obviously the king.
Even though, my comparison was this but years ago, I had a 00 ZR2 Blazer and a buddy had a 02 Silverado Z71 and you're dead on when you say the full size feels like it doesn't wanna be offroad and it lumbers around but the ZR2 floats around.
from a friend of mine that has the diesel version he told me that you get pretty much the same millage it tows a bit more but the gas version has much more performance and faster responding on the pedal. So for once I would say go with gas version will save you and extra 5K.
TWayne Buying shocks aftermarket isn’t the same as buying a package that is OEM tested. Also, those DSSV shocks are not available by any aftermarket brands.
@@SuzukiKid400 You may be right about that, but I think I'll take my chances on spending 10x less and having shocks that perform nearly the same if not better than those shocks. Not saying the engineers at GM are any less qualified than other engineers, but most companies manufacturing shocks have engineers who their sole responsibility is designing shocks for specific applications.The DSSV shocks weren't even designed by GM, they are simply using Multimatic's technology.
TWayne why design your own shocks when someone else has come up with an amazing design that is good enough for formula 1! DSSV shocks are no compromise. Smooth on road ride, with a spool valve which changes the behaviour of the shock depending on how you’re driving. The ZR2 package is not “10x” more than aftermarket shocks. You have to realize that the package has front and rear electronic lockers, a lift kit, rock sliders, a custom front prerunner style bumper, oversized tires, a wider track, flare body and a custom hood. The package has value, and a warranty. It can be driven daily like any other truck with NO COMPROMISES. Cheap off-road aftermarket shocks typically don’t ride very well. They’re either super stiff or super floaty. That’s the magic of the DSSV.
Don’t get the duramax zr2 you’ll get severe blow buy whilst full throttle and maybe even break rings. Also keep a quart of oil on hand because in daily use they excessively burn oil. Both of my ex gfs burned a quart a week the dealership bought it back from her then she went and got another one which did the same thing so she ended up getting the v6
I think you need to test a real truck like a ram 1500 rebel or power wagon. My hemi 8 speed would do what you did in rear wheel drive I’m 98% positive.
Snowcat_srt technically it could become a truck, if you raise the suspension, better brakes (heavier duty), better tires and most importantly a water protection seal to protect the engine from engine flooding.
Huck Huck That would be awesome! I really want to buy a Gladiator Rubicon! Higher towing capacity than my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500, and higher WHP than my 4.7L Magnum V8 puts to the ground! Also, higher GVWR, so it’s actually legal to haul more as well! Not to mention it has solid axles, so most likely a heck of a lot better off road than my truck! Only been waiting for a Jeep truck with a removable roof and doors since I was born!
@@freedomfox8183 everything Chrysler gets their grimy hands on turns to dog shit. My friend owns a Cherokee with 260k but has the engine rebuilt several times.
Mike, I've been watching your content for years. Love the new trunk vids. I've been deployed for the last two months and keep up with your content while I'm away from home. Keep killing it man! I hope to see you at an event this summer. 👊
Not sure about the ZR2 tow ratings but my 2018 non-ZR2 V6 Canyon 2-wheel drive is rated for 7000# & 4-wheel Dr version is 7500#. The diesel version is rated at 7700#'s.
He is really an amateur! Only one diesel, and not a single Ram truck! If you want a truly American aimed brand, get a Ram! Who doesn’t like the legendary Cummins or the fast Hemi! I mean, even our local dealership supports the local farmers, and my small- town community. Great brand with great distributors, at least in rural Missouri! Not many around here drive GM trucks due to the IFS having constant issues with washboard roads. Not a whole lot of Ford Superduty’s either, at least since the 6.0 and 6.4 Powerstroke! Before that, a lot more drove Ford heavy duty’s! I’m talking HD trucks mainly, as far as half-tons go, there’s a little bit of everything. You even have Toyota and Nissan half tons, but for heavy duty trucks, there is a whole lot of Rams!
Deereman IFS will have much less of an issue on washboard roads because they can handle the shock much better and won't rattle the rest of the truck to pieces
@@YoungSperm so what let's see a dealership let you take multiple vehicles at a time for week or two whenever you want... His actual car and truck fleet is badass and only a jealous full of shit person would say otherwise... People just can't be happy for other people they gotta be jealous and talk shit every channel on YT has the same bs in the comments.. notice that
The ZR2 is actually rated at 5000 lbs, not 8000, the Non ZR2's are rated at 3500lbs for the 2.5L, 7000 lbs for the 3.6L, and 7600 for the Duramax, all 4wd specs, i havent looked into why the ZR2 is rated lower, Im a Chevrolet Dealer, I looked up at our towing poster whenever he mentioned the 8000lb rating, I thought it sounded high, Amazing trucks though!
The only thing that bothers me with this video is the fact that that's not your truck, that's a truck that's going back to a dealership and someone is going to buy as "new" when you've drove the piss out of it, on and off road. I love your videos but this makes me even more skeptical of dealerships even more..
Nice video and I liked explanation at the end for those who don't know. Also the ZR2 only tows 5000 lbs even if you get the diesel. The regular Colorado with the Duramax tows 8k. If you try to tow 8k with a ZR2 you will crash or brake something that will not be warranted since you exceeded the trucks certified limits
Xx oson xX Chevy has Borla do theirs....717 usually does Corsa publicity....probably a conflict of interest is my guess. I wanna hear more of that exhaust and intake tho!
J Lee Chronicles borla doesnt do them believe or not for gms newest vehicles corsa does im sure mike knows but isnt allowed to say but look at the way the tip is designed thats the corsa look for ya i love it
This is the way maybe for 2019 but my dads 2018 Silverado he got with the gm performance exhaust and it was made by Borla, he ended up getting the actual borla name brand higher performance exhaust afterwards though but the gm performance one was a borla
Zr2 5000lb towing capacity because of the offroad suspension, 3.6 regular Colorado 7000, mini max colorado 7700lbs. Sweet truck but I like your mega max better.
They did a great job on the outside looks and the handling but damn if you put some older seats in it then it would like the 1980s interior . the ip cluster is junk and those buttons on the steering wheel wow cheap as hell looking . for a almost 50k truck and a mid size at that well that's just cheap as hell but chevy has been doing that for ever and that what the chevy boys are used to i guess so they keep getting away with it. Awesome vid tho and the old video at the end actually made me understand the rear dif much better. Thanks Mike great stuff.
that is no mid size pickup that is the smallest they come 3500 is low midsize and you have to go to 7500-8500 for midsize then you get into the real trucks with straight six diesels!!
*wonder what happened to the idea of putting a 5.3 in the colorado ZR2 might have made them a little more sellable if that was an option a small to midsized car enginejust really has no place in a truck any more than that retarded 5 cyl did. and it might make the choice between the duramax option and the 5.3L BTW love the "stuff" you have stored under the back seat* !
the V6 is great and aggressive but i totally agree a 5.3 would just be the icing on the cake! (hopefully GM is just waiting for the ranger raptor to come out and they will surprise us with a 6.2 in the ZR2!!!!!)
The thing I hate about the cheap key fobs is that after a few months of taking it in and out of your pockets, the plasti-chrome starts to wear off. Mine started to fade after about 3 months. Now 2 years old, it’s basically a clearish/ white plastic with almost “chrome” on it. I don’t care how it looks cuz it’s in my pocket all the time, just shows how cheap it actually is.
Corners need to be cut in certain areas to reduce the price of the vehicle. Would you rather pay the prices they are set at and bitch about a key fob or pay double the price because everything is made of high quality materials? Look at any high end super car, the reason they are so expensive is due to the grade of materials used, the attention to details, and not made on a giant assembly line.
TWayne lol. It’s a Chevy key fob? You think they’ll charge an extra $50k for better quality plastic? Yeah, Ok buddy. All they need to do is ditch the plasti chrome. A lot of car manufacturers have done it. No one wants chrome anymore anyways. Boom. Saved them 8 cents a fob. 🙄
@@Sewermonkey69 No i'm not saying it's an extra 50k for a key fob. What I'm saying is corners are cut everywhere to lessen the price of the vehicle. If any manufacturer decided to listen to every last person's complaint about their product, then you would be paying a much larger premium. There's a reason why good from China demand a far cheaper price than many American made products. Cheaper materials, cheaper labor, and cutting corners to make a less dependable product are great examples.
TWayne you literally said “double the price”. On a $50k truck, that still has cheap parts, that’s another $50k. You also must not have read my whole reply. If they ditched the plasti chrome (which is all I am complaining about here) they’d add another $0 to my truck payment. And I’d gladly pay it. It would’ve LITERALLY saved them money. It can not cost more the make a black piece of plastic then it does to make plastic with a mirror like finish. You’re acting like I’m bitching about every part of the truck.
Mike. My dad has tried to explain over and over the differential. That video at the end cracked the code!! 1950’s or not. A differential is a differential. You did a “How It’s Made” episode! 👍🏻
I’m pretty sure this is the third video of a Colorado ZR2 review on this channel!! Let’s pick a new truck to review. Or maybe just stop reviewing them and do something else!!
I agree guys,I'd much rather watch him drive to in Shane designs and make awkward conversation with 3 guys,but...since you all are paying soooo much for this content maybe he should do whatever you want?
Hey Mike , heading down I-80 in Illinois this week I passed two semi’s carrying Shelby Raptor Baja editions... WOW! That’s one aggressive looking Truck
I was hoping to see you at motorama but sadly didn’t.. I seen the corvette there with the inshane designs booth witch is so bad ass in person.. I seen senditsteve truck in a parking lot when I was driving. Next year you should put your truck and car in the motorama car show they would fit in perfect. I came from New York and got a hair cut from Adam too😂 he did a great job
I been using jeeps for many years for off-roading and I just stepped up to the Colorado because it by far a better all around 4x4 no going back to jeeps for me...!
Amazing duramax tuner shop has a tuned 2.8L small Duramax engine 2019 Colorado pushing 403HP and 824 Ft. torque!! Factory parts. Now imagine if u did a 64mm stealth drop turbo and lift pump haha!!! Sick little truck either way I want one ...
I also enjoyed that extremely old school engineering lesson at the end explaining how and why differential gears came about. Who says this channel isn't fun and informative? lol
Mike, great vid as always buddy. BUT, will you buy a Raptor, old or new, and start a StreetSpeed build already. You’ve said it a hundred times that you need to retire the Dirtymax from daily duties and that you need another daily truck. My input, first gen 6.2 Raptor with a supercharger and Corsa exhaust, you know it makes sense dude.
I hope they got the cam chain strech issues, cam phaser issues, and oil consumption all figured out on that 3.6 engine. They have been real dogs for years. Maybe the latest versions are fixed; they've had a lot of revisions to that engine. Wish GM would have continued the 3.8L pushrod 6; those were simple, reliable, and had good performance.
At 40000 some you can not beat this package and no supercar can go where this goes... What bells and whistle to be the thing geat a Cadillac... Chevy is supposed to be a GM value brand.... And Zr2 will go where a Raptor or Power Wagon will not....
Should get you a Colorado with the Duramax and lift it, put a big turbo on it and dub it Dirtymax mini. Would be cool to see one built. Really enjoy the videos bro. Grandfather was a master machinist at GM. Chevy till I die. You should do a Squarebody.
Who spotted the SCAR??? #DEMONETIZED

Saying that a large company doesn’t have time to dive into every vehicle and cover the details is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard.

Why dont you just lift the 720 and put your duramax wheels on it
Good idea
sounds cheap and reasonable
EXACTLY
I just purchased my ZR2 yesterday! I have the 3.6 V6. Thanks for the great review. I’m looking forward to running mine off-road.

PUT MORE SPOKES! MORE SPOKES!!
I have always kinda noticed how gm never really seemed to put as many details on their specialty vehicles compared to ford and dodge.
When Chevy puts their 5.3 in it I'll be the first to buy one
Towing Capacity Is vehicle weight, tires and braking ability. Not that little truck.

Indeed
That was a really cool description video of the differential
The towing capacity is only 5k for the ZR2. I suspect because of the softer suspension. You should correct this in your video.

My brother just bought a 2013 C6 Corvette a few months ago and I got him a key fob cover for it because those Chevy keys are just great.
TWayne lol. It’s a Chevy key fob? You think they’ll charge an extra $50k for better quality plastic? Yeah, Ok buddy. All they need to do is ditch the plasti chrome. A lot of car manufacturers have done it. No one wants chrome anymore anyways. Boom. Saved them 8 cents a fob. 🙄
@@Sewermonkey69 No i'm not saying it's an extra 50k for a key fob. What I'm saying is corners are cut everywhere to lessen the price of the vehicle. If any manufacturer decided to listen to every last person's complaint about their product, then you would be paying a much larger premium. There's a reason why good from China demand a far cheaper price than many American made products. Cheaper materials, cheaper labor, and cutting corners to make a less dependable product are great examples.
TWayne you literally said “double the price”. On a $50k truck, that still has cheap parts, that’s another $50k. You also must not have read my whole reply. If they ditched the plasti chrome (which is all I am complaining about here) they’d add another $0 to my truck payment. And I’d gladly pay it. It would’ve LITERALLY saved them money. It can not cost more the make a black piece of plastic then it does to make plastic with a mirror like finish. You’re acting like I’m bitching about every part of the truck.
Not just you but I don’t understand people putting so much time reviewing the stupid key!
Hey almost first btw I got a new camera so quality on my channel is gonna be a lot better
Nice channel name
Love it!!!!
Lol thanks buddy it took me a week to think of it honestly
@@callofvex well worth it I bet lol
Torn Hub ;) I see a comment the other day and watched a couple of video's and subbed keep on keeping on buddy.
Why did mike have to censor that the exhaust is made by Borla?
He’s Corsa sponsorship’d.
Mike. My dad has tried to explain over and over the differential. That video at the end cracked the code!! 1950’s or not. A differential is a differential. You did a “How It’s Made” episode! 👍🏻
I’m pretty sure this is the third video of a Colorado ZR2 review on this channel!! Let’s pick a new truck to review. Or maybe just stop reviewing them and do something else!!
If I wanted car reviews I would watch Demuro.
Oh you didn't hear? StreetSpeed717 is the new Chevy truck spokesperson....
why would we want to do that?
I think the reviews are great, and this seems like it’s a really nice lil truck
I agree guys,I'd much rather watch him drive to in Shane designs and make awkward conversation with 3 guys,but...since you all are paying soooo much for this content maybe he should do whatever you want?
Hey Mike , heading down I-80 in Illinois this week I passed two semi’s carrying Shelby Raptor Baja editions... WOW! That’s one aggressive looking Truck
Patrick Barnwell you see a lot on I-80 mostly accidents lol
I was hoping to see you at motorama but sadly didn’t.. I seen the corvette there with the inshane designs booth witch is so bad ass in person.. I seen senditsteve truck in a parking lot when I was driving. Next year you should put your truck and car in the motorama car show they would fit in perfect. I came from New York and got a hair cut from Adam too😂 he did a great job
I been using jeeps for many years for off-roading and I just stepped up to the Colorado because it by far a better all around 4x4 no going back to jeeps for me...!
Amazing duramax tuner shop has a tuned 2.8L small Duramax engine 2019 Colorado pushing 403HP and 824 Ft. torque!! Factory parts. Now imagine if u did a 64mm stealth drop turbo and lift pump haha!!! Sick little truck either way I want one ...
I also enjoyed that extremely old school engineering lesson at the end explaining how and why differential gears came about. Who says this channel isn't fun and informative? lol
I think you need to try a little harder next time 🤔 try driving it off a cliff or exploding it with a grenade 👌
I second that
I third that
I drive a 6.0
that black and white video at the end explaining diff still blows my mind. and the fact they came up with it in the 30 or 40s. amazing
Mike, great vid as always buddy. BUT, will you buy a Raptor, old or new, and start a StreetSpeed build already. You’ve said it a hundred times that you need to retire the Dirtymax from daily duties and that you need another daily truck.
My input, first gen 6.2 Raptor with a supercharger and Corsa exhaust, you know it makes sense dude.
I hope they got the cam chain strech issues, cam phaser issues, and oil consumption all figured out on that 3.6 engine. They have been real dogs for years. Maybe the latest versions are fixed; they've had a lot of revisions to that engine. Wish GM would have continued the 3.8L pushrod 6; those were simple, reliable, and had good performance.
I'm curious. Are people buying these trucks as "new" (the Silverado he's borrowing and this ZR2) when you bring them back to the dealer?
At 40000 some you can not beat this package and no supercar can go where this goes... What bells and whistle to be the thing geat a Cadillac... Chevy is supposed to be a GM value brand.... And Zr2 will go where a Raptor or Power Wagon will not....
Should get you a Colorado with the Duramax and lift it, put a big turbo on it and dub it Dirtymax mini. Would be cool to see one built. Really enjoy the videos bro. Grandfather was a master machinist at GM. Chevy till I die. You should do a Squarebody.
