- ( www.TFLtruck.com ) The 2015 Chevy Colorado marks the return of Chevrolet into the highly competitive small truck segment. Until this year the Japanese truck manufacturers with the Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma have owned this market in the United States as Ford has stopped selling the iconic ranger in the U.S.
In another accurate, informative and fun TFLTruck video we get to know almost everything you ever wanted to know about the 2015 Chevy Colorado.

I like how that guy talked about the car. Most people talk like if they are reading a script but he really talked about like he knew what it was about and in his own words.
Really? I feel like he knew absolutely nothing about the truck. He can't tell us fuel mileage numbers, power, towing, pricing, anything. All he said repeatedly was best in class. Oh and it looks "athletic". Don't get me wrong I like the look and all, but if looking like a crossover in the front with a bed in the back is athletic then jesus I'm behind in the times. Reminds me of a freeway and city truck. And from this side angle, I'm seeing a lot of Tundra resemblance in the shape and lines. hmmm..
***** Well GM doesn't allow them to give out those numbers. I can maybe see the tundra look but thats because tundra is a bubbly looking truck.
I wish it was smaller. If this is going to be what we consider a mid-sized truck than I fear full-size trucks will start being the size of motor-homes when this hits market. I think I speak for all when I say that people in the market for a small truck, want only a few simple things. 30mpg, ~1500lbs payload, 5000lbs towing, $20,000.
I agree. Milage and price are going to make or break this truck.
***** I fear this truck will be very expensive. I also find it blah. Interior is blah. Reminds me of early 2000s Trailblazers.
***** Blame the government. We place requirements on vehicles based on size. To dodge making a better product, automakers just build bigger cars. Everyone is too lazy to actually design a good product, they would fall behind the competition and ultimately lose their spot as the big 3. They also use the regulations as a scapegoat, when anybody challenges the big 3 (tesla) they lobby congress into passing bullshit laws that other companies have to abide by. It's a corrupt system, and the main reason why you shouldn't buy a vehicle built after the recession in 2008.
Hey GM, 1995 just called, he wants his shift knob back.
Looks awesome look out Toyota and Nissan you got a tuff and serious truck to beat
"What we're currently looking at though however"
What a way to start a segment!
I cant wait for this to come out!! I was going to get a frontier, but this new Colorado is so much sweeter!
I recently purchased a new 14 Silverado 4x4 1wt base model. It has a peppy v6, 6 speed auto, crank windows, shifter on the floor where it belongs. I can get about 21mpg on the highway and about 16 ot 17 around town. It's not great, but much better than the 4x4's of days gone by. I think the diesel will be close to $40k which to me is a waste. I paid $29k out the door for my Silverado and could not be happier.
My # one question is will the duramax diesel model be able to run on biodiesel? If so then it will a perfect truck for me... i always have had a diesel truck for that reason but alreasy have a cummins workhorse for heavy towin g and now want a simple everyday use midsize that will tow a two horse trailer upon request.
When will you all get your hands on a production model z71 or All terrain for review?
For the love of all that is holy... Put a V-8 in this thing.
If you have to ask WHY, you will never understand.
Yes.
Look at the Cherokee SRT. The Lightning. The Hurricane... The Raptor...
The fact that you don't understand the enjoyment of raw and brutal horsepower is unfortunately and not unexpected these days of the demasculated Male.
No, you don't. You proved it by asking why. The desire for More Power is coming back. The new Vette, the SS, the Challenger, Charger, and the increased performance of the new Mustang and the new Z/28... Trucks like the Raptor and the 6.2 Ltr option in the Chevy Silverado High Country... all evidence that guys like me actually want and pay for More Power.
This is self explanatory... but evidently not for some people. Like you. You don't Get It.
Go back to your iPhone and Prius, coffee house music and meat free foods.
i wish they had a small v8 in all mid sized trucks
Why...do we Americans...need to put a V8...IN EVERYTHING!!??!?!! For trucks, torque is more important than horsepower. This can easily be accomplished with a 4 or 6 cylinder diesel (about 3-6 liters), not to mention with better fuel economy as well. Don't get me wrong, I understand that there are some trucks that are specifically built for racing and performance. For the average person, however, I doubt that he/she would want to go racing around town with a frickin' 1,500+ pound payload on the back or on a trailer!
I drive the Thai made 15 colorado here in Australia. Runs a 2.8ltr duramax diesel. Great engine, huge amount of torque. Feels a little tradesmen like though.
I'm very glad more diesels are coming to market. I like this new midsize truck.
My dad has an 06 Colorado Z71 Crew cab. It's running strong
cant wait to buy mine I love it
My dad bought a brand new 2002 Silverado right before it hit 100k driveshaft broke on highway months later transfer case went out transmission feels loose coil pack starts smoking. I remembered he was pretty pissed off during those times. But at the end trade in for a tundra.
Not a bad looking truck, but nothing beats a tacoma.. And rumor has it tacoma will offer a cummins in 2017.
well you have 3 mores years to find out if that rumor is true lol
Tacoma and Tundra has a really bad rust problem, I like my 98 s10 better has almost 300k miles and still running like new, had it since it had 85k miles.
my dad has a field full of s10s. the 4.3 is a good motor, and we recently built a 4.3 bore'd it out an filled it with all the goodies and it will eat mustangs still no chevy man. Dont hate them but the ones here in VA are just as bad as the toyotas on rust. My taco is 100% clean, you could eat off the frame, but thats not very common for a toyota. S10 and blazers have horrible rust problems also, 300k on a chevy sounds like its past time for a top-bottom rebuild.
Cummins in a Toyota? Why Toyota would put a Cummins engine in a Tacoma or Tundra, if Toyota is also known for making very good and reliable Diesel engines...
Those rumors are very far from reality...
not true my friend Toyota thay say no diesel
It is the best, and that's why I bought one.
Will towing increase or only mpg with the diesel?
man.. everytime i look at those headlights, I think of the Honda Ridgeline... Anyone else agree? :P
They put a lot of time in designing that front bumper to be arrow dynamic, but what about all the guys who like to by aftermarket heavy tubed bumpers with winches and lights? Will the Colorado/Canyon offer after market parts, lift kits, lockers, bumpers, etc?
Hey, I just turned 37 and I really want this truck. How much are they going for around? thanks! I never thought I would really want a TRUCK, but I do!
If you want to know about the Colorado diesel, check out the Holden Colorado. I don't imagine the US version will be much different. If you google "Holden Colorado" I am sure you will get all the info you want.
It looks like a very fun truck.
I hate the way it looks but I'm so glad there is a diesel option now, that is so cool.
I give it a passing grade style wise. I wonder about the fuel mileage, price and horsepower. Bummer that the diesel version (which is the one I am more interested in) will not be available until the second year of production.
I think these will do well, at least in the short term. They are far ahead of the long-in-the-tooth Frontier and Tacoma. The biggest problem GM has (besides the fallout from ignition switches) is that the are under a lot of pressure to increase incentives on the Silverado. If the pricing of the Silverado is too close it will really hurt the launch of these midsize trucks.
These marketing guys kill me... beautiful truck, want one!
I prefer smaller trucks, so I'm excited for this truck! Though I'd just be getting the base gas 4 cylinder model. The full-sizers are just way too big. I only need something to haul my bikes and a canoe around and I don't really want a crossover SUV.
It looks really good man. Don't oversell it.
I drive a Colorado because I work downtown and need something reasonable to park. I really wish they would put a 5 speed manual in this thing.
Doesn't Nissan have a diesel frontier overseas? Thought they have been selling the diseal version for years in Europe.
I really don't understand why they can't offer the manual transmission on all models? I am only interested in this if the Offroad 4x4 version comes with a manual transmission.
If I was still in high school I would love the new Colorado. But I'm 22 now and I think a full size silverado would suit me better.
who cares
My damn 2005 dodge Dakota awd almost fully loaded cost 31 thousand new. I am glad I didn't buy that thing brand new. I picked it up for 9000. Was it ever worth that crazy high price I think not. Now I like this truck but what sticker shock will we see. That duramax will be sweet but what sticker will that have. I see full size duramax trucks with insane miles for insane prices. What happened to the car market and pricing
Drove a z71 off road 3 times at SD auto show really impressed with this new truck puts the old Colorado to shame pretty decent towing 8k,also drove a eco boost 3.5 was unimpressed with such a large truck was expecting more and the lariat only tows 9k....cant wait for that new diesel in the Colorado really think they hit a home run, beating every one to the mid size market with a diesel toyota made a bad move not offering the new tacoma without the hilux's diesel to bad. Still if the new Colorado dmax dose not get a 6speed manual ill stick to my old 90 chevy 1ton 454 4speed manual 4.56 gears and 35's smokes them on every gear
maybe im old school but why are trucks and SUV's (mostly trucks more recently) moving away from the column shifter? I think it makes it look and feel like a car to have the shifter in the middle of the car. please tell me I am not the only one thinking this way
Nice
This is the first time in a long time that I actually liked the Chevrolet truck over the GMC. I think that the Colorado's front end looks much better than the Canyon's.
He says that's the 5-foot bed, but it is clearly the 6-foot bed if you compare it to pictures on the Colorado website. Just FYI for those watching.
I'm waiting for this truck .hope it is not disappointing .hope the price isn't thirty grand.
It seems good. Most people that need a truck doesn't need a full size or heavy duty. Not all of us have a house to tow. For myself I have a Quad and a jet ski. All together even with the trailer and gear is no more than 3k pounds. Plus I live in so cal and houses are getting smaller and smaller and so does land. Now, a v8? No thanks. I rather have diesel v6 for the size. This truck is being sold for about a year in Mexico. I've seen them and it looks cheap(like most GM), but this American version looks nice.
"this is the z71, so it has our legendary off-road suspension" ROFL
Its a beautiful truck
Why the crossover 3.6 engine? Why not the all-new redesigned 4.3l V6? It's got more torque down low which is what you need in a truck.
Gm needs to extend their warranty to 10yr 200k for me to buy their car.
my dad has a 2010 silverado and they gave him a 4yr/100k mile warranty and then after that when out they gave him another warranty at 127k for another 4yrs/100k miles so hes covered until he hits 227k or 4 years. so i mean thats close enough
***** are you talking to your self. Fuck are you getting at
***** all I'm saying is that cheap unreliable with major recall they need to offer something for people to buy their cheap crap. You expect me to buy a 35-40k gm car and break down at 100k. Fuck you
Chad B Is that why my dads 1995 Silverado 1500 has almost hit 280K and is just now starting to break down? You're a clown haha
Jeris Beaver yeah i bet your dad work on it every other month.
I have bought 2 and the one in my drive way right now
TFLT! Learn to use TH-cam's video enhancements. This video had lighting problems, to be expected in the venue it was shot in. But to leave that alone was terrible. Use at least the auto adjust to get the brightness problems fixed!
'70s Chevy LUV
'80s & '90s S-10
'00s & '10s Colorado
Still based from Isuzi's pickup.
Every mid sized truck and every SUV should have a diesel option like in Australia.
It's about time the mid-sized truck makes a comeback, and it's way past time for a small diesel. This would be a perfect truck for pulling an aluminum fishing boat, or a trailer with a couple of snowmobiles, or motorcycles etc.. They are estimating 370 ft/lbs of torque, which is more than most stock V8's, and torque is the only important power stat when it comes to trucks. Best of all it should be able to hit 30 mpg. All that and it wouldn't take up the entire garage, and you could park it anywhere with no problem. 99% of the utility, with a potential for much better mileage. What's not to like?
nice wheels. not a fan of the front end. grill is definately still old chevy.
The predicted numbers for this truck are almost the same as a 2000 Dakota. Even with the mini duramax, these trucks are just now getting to the levels as a Dakota. Only took Chevy 15 years to catch up to dodge. Nice.
Z71 with the gas v6 is tipping $35,000!!!!!!!!!! The duramax will be over $40,000 for a midsize truck is ridiculous
any locking diffs???
WAAAAY better than the Isuzi and international model!
good truck.
I found it a bit odd that they said this was the diesel version of the truck but the rev counter red line is at like 6k or 7k.
I'll fill you in on the details.
The truck is a rebadged Isuzu D-Max, with a new front fascia.
The Duramax engine, even though the name was brought to play by GM and Isuzu, is going to be a VM Motori(Fiat) diesel.
Nice truck for the road. But the front end needs to have a chrome bumper for going through tall grass and samplings. The diesel was not even shown in this video. From what I have found out, it is going to have a timing belt. A long lasting, ease of maintenance vehicle is going to have a timing chain.
We need a V8 ZQ8 option again...lowered...RWD option for the gear heads and wrench turners out there.
I kinda wished they kept the D-Max front fascia. Both look fine though i suppose.
The guy giving the info about the Colorado is wrong about the rear bumper. That bumper wasn't from the Silverado, Its been on the Chevy Avalanche since it was release.
Thank goodness they got away from the old 4spd auto...and dumped the 5cyl engine...3.6L V6 should give this thing quite a kick!
I just don't see what the draw is to these little trucks. They are still expensive and they don't get that much better fuel economy than a 1/2 ton. Maintenance costs will be the same. The 1/2 ton is a way better value considering you can tow an haul more. You'll be more comfortable also.
Size. 1/2 tons are larger so if you want a smaller version of a 1/2 ton you can have it. This for people who don't haul as much as the 1/2 tons can. What you say about cost though is true.
Fuel economy in full-size trucks is so good, and fuel economy in mid-size trucks is so bad for the same reason, technology. 10 years ago, when last new mid-size trucks like the Tacoma were introduced, 20mpg for a truck was considered great. Time moves on though, and in the past decade, manufacturers have put *tons* of effort into improving the fuel economy of full size trucks and literally zero effort into improving the midsize trucks.
If the manufacturers finally decide to give all the fuel saving technology (aerodynamics, advanced powertrains, lightweight materials) they put in full size trucks, to midsize trucks, then they will smack the pants off the big trucks in fuel economy.
When you don't need a full size, but want a bed. Thats the draw. Some of us have to live near or in cities and parking is tough in a big truck even for seasoned drivers. 90% of 1/2 ton owners drive their tucks as pavement commuter princesses anyways.
1. Better MPG, 2. Better city driving, 3. Just no need to be THAT big. Plus I disagree with your "comfort" level statement. These are plenty comfortable. BTW, I drive a full size 1/2 ton. Will continue to do so. But there is no need for that size for everyone. And no, not everyone needs to do exactly what you do Zack, get real.
I have owned a Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma then moved up to a Ford F150 4x4 crew cab. I have to admit for a city boy who like to gout and play in the dirt from time to time...a light small truck was more comfortable all around in the city (Las Vegas) for me. Drive throughs, parking lots, parking garages, dodging soccer moms picking up the kids, but still having a man vehicle that can carry a dirt bike in the back...small trucks have their place fore sure.
The biggest reason I sold the F150 was the cost of gas driving it 5 days a week. The size was the 2nd reason. If someone would build a gas electric hybrid full size truck that gets 100mpg...I'd stick with the full size regardless of the bulkiness in the city.
The configurator is live www.chevrolet.com/colorado-small-truck/build-your-own.html
The lowest trim, extended cab, long box, 2 wheel drive starts at $20,995.
That's bare bones.
Before options it's easy to hit $31,000 for a 4 wheel drive Quad cab version
If it's the typical GM Corporate interior it likely is hard plastic all over.
But it's a Chev so they'll likely sell boatloads of these trucks
$33k 4 a CC Z71 4x4 Colorado vs $33k 4 a CC Tacoma v6 2wd .
CC = crew cab .
Go to the dealership if you don't believe, Tacoma are more expensive
Why is the bed liner optional in case some people aren't going to use the bed?
The cab looks like a Nissan Titan
I just cant wait till they release the pricing, 40 grand for the diesel? Garenteed to be over priced
So is there going to be a Blazer coming off of this truck ?
this guy loves this truck hahaha
or one hell of a salesmen!
I like it! A lot better than the old one, but yeah it looks a lot like a tacoma/tundra :(
No stick available except on the work 4cyl :( ugh!
some people actually still enjoy driving stick!
"3.6-liter V-6 with direct injection makes 305 hp at 6,800 rpm and 269 pounds-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm"" 2.5L 200 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 191 pounds-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm" These are car engines about to be used in trucks. Higher HP vs Torque. Hmmmm
Hmmm?? This front part of the truck reminds me of the Honda ridge line.
If I sneeze on the ignition will the engine shut off GM?
chevydiesel350015 LOL dont you loathe all the haters! They just cant get over GM having a great truck. Like Nate den Hollanders comment "Looks Like Garbage" What an asshole!
Dan Wagar I just read a comment from Brian Young who said the Frontier
is 10 times better than the Colorado and disabled replies. Typical Import fanboy
who thinks something is true just because they say it is.I think their stupid comments are based on jealousy.
And do ya think he knows the Colorado and Canyon is a 100% Isuzu design? I dont think so or he'd change his tune. I love the haters!
Hoping they will put out an ZQ8 edition :)
I hate floor shifters in a truck, it's small and I already lost a middle seat in the front! Please change it to column shift!
That thing looks more like a full size truck. IMO I don't see that truck doing to well.
was that an 8,000 rpm redline in a diesel?
This would be awesome for fire departments. Fire truck red with all the bells and whistles.
the guy giving info was like lost for words half the time lol
This truck is just about perfect ,But they should release the diesel at launch not in 2016.We just leased a Ford F150 but it;s so big and awkward to park we'll return it at lease end .This one I will buy .However if the Ford brings out the new Ranger in time it will be a difficult decision ..
I went to the dealership to get more information they have nothing to offer .This is a piss off .You can get more info on You tube than at a manufacturers rep .what crap .
Not even a picture at the dealership just the big trucks all over the place .
Go back and finish your report on the GM 200 and 3500 HD's.
Bad ass
Wow
8:25 just stop... you can't even name 1 thing your truck is better at than a Tacoma. You sound like a politician trying to sell this thing.
Looks pretty nice but I need a full size truck for the towing capabilities.
Keep in mind most of the 1/2 trucks you will buy on the market will be equipped to tow between 7-9K pounds; the 2.8 diesel will be able to tow around 7100 lbs I would imagine.
I have two trailers that I tow on a regular basis. One is a small boat and trailer which is only 3000 lbs total. It would be fine for that. However the other trailer is almost 10,000 lbs loaded. I use a HD truck to pull that as I do not like working them to the max. For a lot of people though a smaller truck would be fine.
davva360
Yeah, I wouldn't be comfortable with towing 10K with anything but a 3/4-1 ton truck.
drew a Well he has a 10,000 lb trailer, so I wouldn't recommend anything other than a full size truck, preferably a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. The diesel Colorado will be rated to tow around 6800-7000 lbs I would imagine.
ahy!!!!! Call me old fashion, but I hate the gear selector in the floor, put it in the steering column like a real truck, where it's supposed to be in a full sized man truck!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree, I wouldn't even consider buy this model until at least 2016 because of the 4 cylinder diesel. My hat is off to them for bringing that technology to market but from a marketing standpoint I would have held that card much closer and might have shown it mid jun-july 2015.
Does this have the same stupid captive rotor design as the old Colorado's?
What's the price?
I'd be in the market, I've had several smaller GM trucks. The thing that would kill it for me is if it was made in Shreveport. The 3 trucks that I've bought were made there and their quality control is pitiful. All had many, many issues and small problems that shouldn't have been missed. My 07 Canyon went back for small things at least 6 times in 3 years. That's pitiful by anybody's standards. I couldn't wait to get rid of it. I don't really need a V8, I have a 427 Corvette if I want to go fast, but the diesel would be a big plus.
2015 Colorado and Canyon are scheduled to begin production at the Wentzville
Missouri plant.
I can't stand salesmen or pitchmen who do not know their product. This guy does it better than most but usually when I watch these video the guys pitching their product obviously sound like they know nothing about what they're talking about. That truck has the 6 foot bed not the 5 foot bed. If you're going to sell your product, the least you could do is know it and be passionate about it.
I like the 4 cylinder deiseal engine but they should put in a 8 speed automatic transmission in it and giving out 45 mpg on the highway and 35 mpg in the city that will be really cool then when they put on the performance add on like short ram intake, throttle body spacer performance exhust system , and chip it it should jump up to 59mpg on the high way then at the city 46 mpg that why Chevy keeps fucking up on the
wonder if they are going to build this in the USA or out source it like they do most of their other automobiles? I will stick to a Toyota Tundra. Made in the USA and out last a GM.
looks like a mix. honda/chevy/toyota
I would like to see some smaller, compact-sized pickups (this truck is a mid-size), like the Toyota 1-ton, Chevy LUV, Ford Courier, VW Caddy, Subaru Brat, Mazda B-series. and of course the Ford Ranger. Even if they are uni-body. As long as they can still haul my shit. And I'm talking about the 7-foot bed, regular cab, plain janers.
Chevy did have a small or maybe mid size truck call the s10 but the stoped making them which I think the use the half design of it for the Colorado and other half silverado
This must be same engine used in Chevy s10 in Brazil. So they share same platform.
It looks good and the 2.8 Diesel has been a long time coming. Given the 10Billion dollars the US gov lost on their bailout, and admitting to knowingly making low quality vehicles in the hearings, And the recent ignition switch recall they knew about for 10yrs, I could never buy a Chevy. But quality mid-size diesel trucks, hopefully the first of many
this is actuallty the 6 foot bed... the fuel door isn't cutting the buldge in the rear fender like on the 5 foot bed
I wish they could take audi's v6 tdi with 428 lbs ft of torque and put it in here. A four cylinder doesn't seem adequate
This 2.8 Duramax engine has 200HP, 500NM torque.
