Hoping to get a Black Friday deal on a 2024 Colorado WT, on the 29th of November 2024. Your video before this one was about the do's and don'ts of the 2.7L engines, Light duty, Medium Duty and a $200.00 upgrade to make a Heavy Duty. What pisses me off is when the Salesperson tells you that you can pull a trailer with the truck, then because I watched this video, I have to tell them I can't pull my tandem axle trailer with it loaded to capacity. The Trailer is 1500 pounds empty and the L2R paired with a AL45 Transmission will only pull a 3500 pound trailer. With that being said, I could only put a 2000 pound load on my trailer. The downloaded and printed window sticker I am looking at says Engine: 2.7L Turbomax. Does not show which engine unless the Turbomax is the L2R. The L3B Turbo Plus is Medium duty and with a $200.00 upgrade makes it a L3B HO Or heavy Duty. The L3B's will pull a 7700 pound trailer. What I don't like is all the "bling" crap that I don't think I'll need. Watched this video and the 24 looks about the same as the 23. This will be my 1st New truck as I have always bought used in 50 years. Compared to my daily driver a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 5 speed with hand crank windows, (102,100 original miles) this Colorado is like an aircraft cockpit on rubber wheels! The 24 has features that come as a standard package that the 23 had as options. The truck I'm looking at is Priced at $35,100.00, 25% tariff on Canada, 25% tariff on Mexico and 10% on China is a total of 60%. so, who will buy the 2026 model with the added 60% Tariff which is an additional $21,060, total price $56,160.00? Probably 60k Plus.
By the little device, you can plug-in that bypasses it, my friend owns five mechanic shops and told me to buy it because the dealers can’t tell it’s been installed. if you go to the dealership for a service, just unplug it and then plug it back in afterwards.
The V-6 and the Duramax Diesel that were available in the previous Colorado are no longer offered in 2023. Which engine is more likely to run over 250,000 miles the 4-cylinder or the Duramax Diesel?
@@docholliday6285I had a 2017 Colorado diesel. It was severely underpowered and struggled to merge on the highway. It got fantastic fuel mileage though.
Actually this motor features new turbo tech, and was designed from inception for truck. Waiting for my ZR2 delivery and love the motor. *You can have your hybrid.
At least the water pump and power steering are electric. They should have gone with a mild hybrid and ditched the starter, alternator, and belt-driven A/C compressor! This "brand new" engine is old tech. Thanks very much for the video Sam!
134K miles & Zero issues! Summer months - Tow a 5,238lb RV over 3K miles. Winter months she handles the Snow/Ice storms like a champ. Negative Karen has no clue!

Thinking about getting the 2023 colorado, but concerned about the cylinder deactivation. Thoughts?
I own a 2023, I've never seen the cylinder deactivation mode happen in an entire year of ownership.

@@ant.8673 do you know what brand of device or is it a tuner or just a box?

Which engine is more likely to run over 250,000 miles the 4-cylinder or the Duramax Diesel?
Prolly the 2.7L TURBO.
The babymax's 181 hp is not gonna do it for me.

Where is the water pump? is it driven by the timing chain and cost $3000.00 to replace?
The video describes and shows the water pump to be electric and mounted on the outside of the engine. Did you watch the video?
