chevy and gmc are killing tacoma sale and i love it!"
Agree. More truck and better value
@@Jason-Samko they Must get manual transmission MT in these to get me intrested...
@@efil4kizum I would love it in a manual
@@efil4kizum It such a small a lot of consumers buying manuals. Everyone wants one, but the sales do not support it. I wish they did have the option myself.
@@calebniederhofer6529 Seems like all of us who are somewhat gearheaded prefer a manual, but the rest of the public wants an appliance they can just turn on and go. Then someday that $6000 rebuild bill comes, and they're wailing.
Oh man I really enjoy these inside/outside reviews. Huge time saver for us. Great job Jason 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Great vid and review. I’m coming from a crew cab f150 coyote and yea readjusting to the size was something of a challenge but I’m so happy with this truck. It’s twice as capable and double the fun.
In 2024 you can get a high output engine and full 4wd with a mild lift under $40k!
Great job GM!
Yep gm has knocked it out of the park with everything about this truck
Def my next truck! Fricken awesome!! Well the ZR2 is for sure my next truck, I love my
Gladiator.
If I can not get a good deal next year on a gladiator the zr2 will be in my driveway too
Its set up about like mine . I really like it even the turbo 4 . It pulls good ! I haven't towed with it yet. Real nice pick up I have had it about a month. I am 95 percent sure I like it better than my 21 f 150 STX.
Love this truck. So much truck, so much value, from a company trying as hard as it can to be the top of the list in customer care.
I love mine more than my FX2 I had before this. And I thought my next truck was going to be another Ford. 😂Trail Boss won my heart.
@stevep5470 such a great truck
Great looking truck!
Agree. So much truck for the money
Canyon has more SPARK in that tailGate IMO LOL
@@efil4kizum canyon is very sexy
I work for GM and this truck is awesome. I have never owned a GM vehicle because I never trusted them. I bought one and I love it. That 4 cylinder with the turbos has a lot of power. I’m a Ford guy. I love my Colorado
@@joshuajohnson1036 the colorado is awesome
I know better than to trust GM "quality."
I like the looks, I like the price, I like the payload.
I don’t like the G80 vs. an electronic selectable locker. It can get dicey forcing slips to make it engage.
I don’t like the exposed not recessed bolts on the front skid plate. They'll get sheared off or rounded on rocks.
I don’t like the rear shock bottoms still being exposed and towards the differential vs. the wheels.
I don’t like that it doesn't have cruise control, never mind no adaptive cruise.
I don’t like the screens for everything, and I really dislike those basic features, such as exterior lights only being accessed through the radio screen.
Once again, it's a direct injection, only turbo 4 with an electronic water pump, etc.
You know what I'm talking about, Sam.
Sounds like you don't like it. I love it and could counter all of those as not being relevant to 90% of people. And for a the real price in the low to mids 30s it's offers so much. I love it. Would buy one in a heart beat without question
@@Jason-Samko please do, because then you can highlight all of the issues on your channel over the course of ownership... or prove me wrong.
@jeeperwill6262 if I can not get a deal I like next year on my next gladiator it will be a zr2 in my driveway
Physical buttons for the lights is better, but you keep them on auto 99% of the time. Having them in the infotainment system isn't tedious. You click on the top left menu and they are right there. Only time I'm doing anything is to engage the fog lights and I am parked and want the lights off. Those are the only time I have touched the light controls on any vehicle I've owned.
@@kabloosh699 Agree 100% Cracks me up when people get bent out of shape over the light switch location. In my past dozen vehicles I can count on one hand how many times I ever too my lights out of auto. and I bet 99% of people are the same way.
The only thing I hated about this truck when I used it as a work truck for a company I was with, was no center console. You only get it on higher trim models, it's so dumb. Other than that, the truck ran pretty good, but I still don't trust GM quality lol.
I’ll be doing a 2024 TrailBoss review soon. I’m at 1000k miles so far! Maybe at 2500miles
Hope its treating you well. Love the truck.
Nissan frontier is my choice in 2024. Coming from a 2023 Toyota trd tacoma pro
nissan frontier is a great truck
I have a 2022 Tacoma. If I needed to replace it tomorrow with a new truck it’d be a frontier.
I’m a GM fanboy and I’ve always had good experiences with GM until my 2023 Colorado Trail Boss. So, call me crazy, call me insane, but the “GM quality” claims are a bit overblown. But it was there with my Colorado, too problematic and it made me switch to another brand, wanted the Ford Ranger XLT 2.7 V6 but Ford has taken ages delivering new Rangers to dealers and even longer with the 2.7 V6 ones and so I went with the Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. As a GM fanboy I couldn’t be happier with my decision.
Sorry you had trouble with you colorado. The frontier is a great truck
Nissan is solid. I like the gm better. But if i was a resistance fighter in a third world desert mounting a rocket launcher in the bed i think i would pick the nissan.

What happend? I've heard mostly positives on the gm twins. So I'm generally curious. I thought the bugs were worked out?
@itsallminor6133 gm does have the bugs worked out. He had a 2023. First year new model and had a few issues, pretty much all worked out before the 2024s went live. I think gm had one of the best new truck launches ever done comparatively
Great review and a great looking truck! Especially on that grey color. Think it’s a lot of bang for your buck as well. Compared to the competition and a few cheap mods can go a long way.
Curious though, where can one find a TB for $33k? Around me they fly off the shelf, sell for MSRP ($42k and above), and we don’t really see any discounts. Even preowned 2023 TB I’ve seen posted around the country for only $2-3k under original MSRP. Those are few and far between though. Thanks
Check autotrader, cars.com, cargurus.com and search a few hours radius around you to get a feel for deals out there. Pick some you like and start negotiating them
Agreed, 40k too steep for one of these but I would seriously consider one for 33k. Anyone actually buying for that price out there??
The cutout in the plastic fender really grinds my gears
I’d get the frontier
Frontier is a great truck too
Why the frontier? Honestly curious as to your reasoning.
No doubt
@@Coyote5555my guess is because it's more like the last gen mid size trucks with a NA V6 and analog dash.
@@Coyote5555less complicated
Great looking truck. Time will tell about the reliability. GM transmissions for the most part have been junk for years. I hope it turns out to be great truck.
Judging trucks from their past history doesn't work very good today. Look at toyota as an example, and ford. Right now in 2024, I'd put gm at the tip of the list as who'd I'd buy from. 10 years ago I would not touch a gm.
Hopefully chevy has there 8 speed transmission fixed. I own a 2020 chevy colorado 3.6 v6 with the 8 speed trans. And its been at the dealership for 7 weeks now. The original problem was transmission shutter caused by the valve body. The transmission is on back order. No idea as to when ill get my truck fixed. Check all the lawsuits chevy has had over that 8 speed transmission.
They fixed it. But sorry you have to go thru that
Definitely a cool, rugged looking little truck!! And with unmatched hp numbers amongst midsize trucks! There are a few things that I wish that they’d at least make available or add on options!
1) an LED headlight upgrade (maybe a $500 package)
2) a sunroof like the GMC ($1000 package)
3) heated seats and steering wheel (maybe a $1200 cold weather package for us New England folks).
Yes, I know that if those sort of things are important, then just go buy the Canyon… but in someways I think the Colorado looks cooler!!!
Just my thoughts!
Yep seems like every truck I like I wish had a few extras that it doesn't. Like why can't the gladiator Mojave have a front locker. Why can we get a trailboss with a option of an rear e locker. Drives me nut how they come so close but fall short at the last minute.
Good news on the leds though is the aftermarket led bulbs from Amazon for 50 bucks are amazing. Have ran them in a few vehicles now and love them.
@@Jason-Samko absolutely!! I agree! Some vehicles come with annoying standard options and others lack just a couple slight basic features that’d make them amazing! And yea! The headlights are not such a big deal, I upgraded the bulbs in my previous F150 and they were great! But man, after having heated seats the last handful of years, it’s hard to go without here in the northeast! The ZR2 is pretty loaded up, isn’t it?
And yes! The Mojave is pretty amazing, not needs more power to really be the desert runner! And a front locker wouldn’t be a difficult add on!!
@KevinEdge81 yep. When I lived in Northern Michigan the heated seats and remote start were amazing!
Yes rhe zr2 is pretty loaded already with most of the options.and the zr2 is a beast of a truck for a killer price. If I can not get the deal I want next year on another gladiator, a zr2 will be in my driveway
The only thing i would like to have is a center arm rest in the rear like the frontier
good review. Really nice looking truck. Been a tacoma owner and owned several over a few decades but now over it due to 4 cylinder turbos, poor quality control, and their pricing. Couple questions if you don't mind. Do the rear seats fold down? Also, why is there water in the tailgate storage? Did that happen with the tail gate up? thanks.
Completely agree about Toyota and what they've done I hope Toyota can get back on track to be in the company they once were soon I do not believe the back seats fold down flat in the Colorado. That water in a tailgate storage compartment was probably because it when I opened that tailgate that storage was unlocked it was open and loose so somebody probably did not close it tight to seal it before. It's supposed to be watertight
I wouldn’t call it perfection….. it’s a 4 cylinder!
AS perfect as can be in 2024
Try it before you knock it. I was wary at first but I’m balls deep in her now!!
That 4 cylinder is outperforming anything in its class.
I don't care if it has 1 cylinder or 60. My question is how well it's designed and how well it performs. The design & performance of the L3B is quite impressive.
@@noblebrown6077 gm sure did a great job with that motor.
That 4 cylinder with twin turbos is a beast. They are quick
The fact that they still do halogen lights is beyond me.
40 dollar fix done in 5 mins
Not as cool as DRLs
They don't freeze over going down the road in the snow, led will.
@Torch4Life lived in Northern Michigan most of my life with a few trucks with leds. Never once had a concern with them freezing over and affecting anything
@@Jason-Samko Some folks mention halogen can have advantages in freezing weather, but I'm in ga too & as you know it aint snowin here. Like you said it's easy enough to switch & also like you said, the truck has really good value.
Where can I get a trail boss for 33K I am having a lot of trouble of finding one in Colorado, but I am willing to travel anywhere to get that price
Not anyone can get that price. It will take some serious research and negotiation to do. But its do able. Best bet is to search online for all of them within a 400 mile radius of you and then find all the ones you like and start negotiating on them. I bet 35 or 36 is easy to do for most people. 33 will be tough but is still do able.
Tough to decide between this and the canyon. Canyon at4 might be worth the extra cash.
both are fantastic. Have a couple videos on the canyon and another one coming out soon I just made. Canyon is super sexy. But id probably buy the Colorado myself as i don't need the extras and want to save the money.
@@Jason-Samko higher resale.. You like higher resale
@itsallminor6133 resale value is actually on the front end not the back end of the purchase. The lower you buy it for means the better value when you sell it. If a colorado value when I sell is x-20 but I can buy it for x-15 I'm in better shape that a truck that I can sell for x-20 but bought for x-5.
I bought my Trail Boss last month and I love it! However I'm 6'1 and so there is no room behind me for a passenger unless it is my grandchild in a car seat! And surprisingly, I had to move the seat up. This is the first vehicle I have owned that I didn't have the seat all the way back. There is still room for taller people in this truck!!!! The Trail Boss package comes 'blacked out'. Black wheels, black grill. black bumpers, but the Colorado badges were chrome. I bought the black Colorado badges and the black CHEVROLET letters for the tail gate. The truck looks so much better with everything blacked out!!!! Even my salesman commented on how much better it looked! And he didn't say that to blow sunshine up my !@@! I've known him for over 30 years! As far as gas mileage goes, as long as I stay off of the interstate(Speed Limit 80), I'm getting 23-24mpg. Otherwise it's 16-17mpg! Pretty much anything above 70mph and your gas mileage is in the toilet!
Excellent info on an amazing truck! Love the new colorados
I'm looking at the ZR2. Is it more often available? I know that's a trouble nowadays. My Sister had to go to three different dealerships to find the car she wanted.
chevy ramped up production of the zr2 in 2024 and made it more available. Wont be hard to find one. use autotrader cargurus and cars.com
And, for off road, these smaller, lighter trucks will go many more places than a big Super Duty 4wd diesel that I see everywhere.
Only reason I don't own a 250/2500 series truck anymore. Down here in the swamps they sink like a stone and can't turn around well or get thru the tight stuff. That's why I'm in midsize trucks. Love mid size. But HD is where the real value to buy is
My wife just got one today. It's nice but I still prefer my 21 silverado lt trailboss
Congrats to your wife on an amazing truck!
Way better value than a new taco and I own a 2022 taco.
Agree. And loved my 22 taco
Just drained the soul out of a dealership and drove off into the sunset with one of these 😅
Outstanding! Congratulations on a great truck
@@Jason-Samko Thanks it’s definitely fun
Im curious how the tacoma seems to be so expensive in comparison to this. When usability and features are more or less the same, maybe better on this in some cases. Wonder if GM is selling these on a loss because they make so much off their full size segment. Something doesn't seem to add up 😂
😂😂😂 Maybe toyota should reverse engineer gms pricing structure
That is a very loaded trail boss. Actuality read the window sticker. You are not getting it for 33k.
OK. Then I guess that settles that Then.
This one is near 44K where I live.
Hi
love your videos and your channel
Do you have a link for the step sides or nerf bars on the side of this truck? I didn't see a link
Thanks
These are the stock ones sold thru chevy only. You would have to call a dealer or look up the part number and see if they are available online yet.
Probably about as good of a truck as you can get for a modern one. But it’s just disappointing that all these manufacturers are selling the trucks with gimmicks that can break rather than sticking to the simple, reliable designs that the older trucks had…
Agree. Miss the old trucks.
Thanks Jason
Nice review but how are you going from $43,000 sticker MSRP to $33,000? I'm assuming you weren't talking about the Trailboss trim? Or am i missing something?
I was talking about the trailboss trim. Witch starts at 38k. I had no idea when filming this what the cost was on this one. I had to look the window sticker up when I got home. But I meant you can get a trailboss for 33k. Not as loaded as this one was. But still a trailboss
@@Jason-Samko I see. I was like wait where do I get this $33k trail boss from 😂
Same here…
Just bought one stickered at $42K for $33K ($36K OTD with taxes), but I had to use $2500 in Chevy points, so actually about $35.5K. Still a great deal IMO.
@@redbird444 are they on sale right now or something? Great deal. Still saving up for one hopefully this time next year I'll be able to grab a 2025.
How is the durability under the hood ?
Proving rock solid so far
Do you think a basic Colorado zr2 will ever be under 45k
Yes. I bet it can be had for very close to that now and for sure when inventory starts to load up. According to gm last year they planned to up production in 2024 on the zr2 to have it more availability
Looks like it was leaking in the tailgate … that kind of sucks
The stolen compartment was not closed or latched when I got there. And it Raina all the time in ga
I love my 2023 Colorado trail boss. On June 28,2024 I will have owned it 1 full year. Bought the velocity blue colored one, almost it 11,000 miles on it. My only complaint is the sorry was acdelco battery went bad at 10 months of ownership. It went down to only 7 amps so I went ahead and had a stronger AAA battery that is guaranteed for 3 years.
Might trade my truck in on a ZR2 AS they are now hitting most Chevy dealers lots. I want that front locking differential,the bigger 33" tires,better skid plate options and better shocks and suspension. But I am tempted to go ahead and sell my trail boss then go buy the 024 Colorado ZR2 bison model to get full skid plate pkg and bigger 35" tires and upgraded bumpers.
Glad you are loving the trailboss! The zr2 and the bison is amazing. Only bummer of the bison is the spare tire location. Can't put a tonneau cover on it.
looks all good. but my issue is the engine. thats where the reliability is... and does this have it with the little engine and turbo? idk.
Ther are or will all be turbos soon.
All of the Trail Bosses I’ve seen come in just over $41k. Curious to know if you know something I don’t. Incentives? I’ve been thinking if I could get one for 3% off I’d be doing well in this market.
And most people think the same way. But learning to negotiate with dealers will take that to 15%-20%. Best I ever did was 38% off on a jeep renegade. Lots of videos all over yourube today that will help teach negotiation tactics.
But does it have cruise control, lol?
Yep
Or you could buy a Tacoma SR 2WD for the same money. 😂😂. Well done GM
Yep gm is rockin and they never raise prices to stupid levels like others have.
Im an avid Toyota fan but the prices for what you get are insane. Chevy is offering a lot more for the same price or less.
@@wizk04 agree 100
What LED headlights would you recommend?
any of them from lasfit, auxbeam, sealight, hycari, etc. any of them on amazon are good. Ive used many of them and they are all basically the same.
They need to get rid of the halogen headlights even with the base model.
@smiley6029 i actually prefer halogen and replacing them with led bulbs. Been doing that on my last 4 trucks and they work just as good as factory and in the event of a broken head light the cost to replace is only 150 bucks rather that 2500
Can you share the link for the LED lights.?
On Amazon type in 2024 colorado led headlight bulbs. Pick the one you like the best. They are all good. I don't know what the specific bulb size is without looking it up
I never see anything close to $33k on a trailboss. Most i see is about a $1500 discount. Puts it at $38k for a base model trailboss. Which is still an incredible value, but i cant imagine $33k being a realistic price.
@heroofharo discounts are only part of the equation. Knowing how to negotiate is vital to getting a good deal today. Luckily there are many great videos on yourube that show how to negotiate with dealers. Having those skills developed is the difference between 33k and 38k. So is understanding the time of week, time of month, to buy, what exact vehicles to focus hard on on lots due to time on lots etc.
@@Jason-Samko have any you want to recommend? Maybe it's just my area, but I'd be ecstatic if I could get a trail boss the way I wanted to even 38k OTD, nevermind 34-35k
@@heroofharo here is one I have that also links other channels too
th-cam.com/video/jIEbQ7PBJUw/w-d-xo.html
similar to GMC Canyon?
Basically identical
For the same price you can get a v6 2.7 Ranger XLT with a rear differential lock. I think I’ll go for a Ranger.
@@weightbally9671 Rangers a great truck
Whee you getting that go 33k
No way for 33k
It’s more like 40 k
@johnrodriquez1912 made a video on the colorado deals out there right now and how to find them. Then use some negotiation skills.
It's a shame GM doesn't offer 6' beds on their mid size anymore. They lost business for sure. I see lawn and pest chemical applicators, Internet cable companies, auto parts runners, etc, driving long bed mid size trucks all the time.
yep a 6 foot bed was a great option to have.
To me the Colorado looks way better than the GMC…but to each their own. I hate how GMC put the headlights lower on the grill
Why can’t they do all this and just put 48” between wheel wells
Plywood, drywall, but also a lot of camping mattresses would fit much better
agree
No doubt looks good and aggressive but that puny a$$ 4cyl turbo kills it. Needs the v6 again same with all the trucks in this segment
wish gov stayed out the auto industry and left us alone with our v6s
@@Jason-Samko yup NA v8 and v6s. All this government stepping in always in every case screws things up. These Turbos barely give a boost to economy or help with emissions and drastically reduce reliability.
@@jervez911 agree
4cyl turbo puts out 310hp and more torque. More than v6 4.3 vortec
@@joshuadempsey509 whats your point? The power a non turbo puts out vs a forced induction is different. They are also historically less reliable and more expensive to fix when something happens. They could easily tune one of their proven V6 engines to over 300hp. If Nissan can do it with their 3.8 GM sure as hell can do it too.
33,000?
Yep, I bet I could make that happen. Many people commenting on my other videos are getting 35-37 for these
36 in Houston Tx
It’s still a GM I’m staying away run forest run Nissan for me I was Toyota guy as well but now Nissan
Gm today in 2024 is at the top of the list in quality and customer service and keeps climbing. For 25 years I wanted nothing todo with gm. Today right now. I'd buy all day anyday. No company is working so hard to be so good as gm is right now
HOW DO I GET THIS FOR 33K?
@nickguidi8278 negotiating skills are very important. Check my videos I did on the deals available on these right now in my truck stuff Playlist. Then spend a day or 3 on yourube watching everything you can on how to negotiate. Take many notes. Then call 40 dealers and work them all. That's how it happens. If it was easy anyone could do it. Bit anyone can get it for 38 all day long easy. That last 5k is where the time, energy, skills, and hard work come I to play
I just got the taco sport premium. But damn this trail boss looks good inside and out.. so how much for this truck? Do I have to get a second mortgage to get this ? .. lol
Msrp starts at 38k and you can get a nicely equipped one with deals for about 35k right now
I got a more stripped down version of this truck for 36. I’m happy with it. I bought it for the drive train not Bells and whistles. I hunt and fish so the ruggedness and 2spd transfer case makes this the best mid size truck in 2024 on the market, for me.
I was also torn between this and the frontier Hard body edition. I’m happy with my decision. The ranger was never really an option because to me it looks kinda goofy.
I went in for a WT but left with the TB😂😂
@stevep5470 great truck and a great price. It's the perfect package.
That back seat air vents, I can’t believe how dumb Toyota is to not integrate that. 🙄 I will also never understand how Toyota cannot fix their cab space issues. 🙄
Agree and agree
What the heck is that spare tire location??? That would get destroyed in Canada with slush, ice and salt. I hope they make it optional for Canadian models
Thay is where every truck has the spare tire
@@Jason-Samko I think my Honda Ridgeline has me spoiled then. Both my 2010 and 2021 Ridgelines have it hidden under the bed, inside the covered compartment
@opensourcedev22 yep that's because the Ridgeline is a unibody construction not body on frame. All body on frame trucks put the spare under the truck. But the Ridgeline is such an amazing truck!
Ridgline = Soyboy@@Jason-Samko
@@ramtrucks721 Ridgeline is an amazing truck. I know 4 peple with them personally and they last forever, drive amazing and have more room than any other mid size. Great trucks.
Hahahaha I’m 5,6 so take it with a grain of salt. I don’t wanna be mean but that was kinda funny.
😂 I'm not winning any slam dunk contests anytime soon!
Just seems like the backseat is just a little to small. For a Adult MAN they would never fit the backseat of that thing.
Only bigger back seat in a midsize truck is the gladiator. Ridgeline too but that's not body on frame so different configuration
Huh? 33k my ass. Haven't seen a single one below 39,200. The one I'm looking to get is just shy of 42k with the upgrades I want.
@@nicd1826 should watch my video on the colorado deals available
For design, specs, and features GM did a really good job with Colorado and Canyon. My only concerns are this:
1. GM hard plastics aren't exactly long lasting in my experience and aren't comfortable to rest an elbow on.
2. GM has a well earned reputation for poor reliability. It's not nearly as bad as Jeep, but how long will these things last and what corners were cut that we won't find out about until the warranty is over?
Please fans of these keep in mind I'm not trying harp on GM. I want them to be awesome. I've just been burned before and now I'm twice shy. Also Jeep fans I love Jeep designs. I just hate that my own Jeep has spent more time in a repair bay then all my other cars I've ever owned combined.
today, in 2024 I put jeep ram gm and nissan at the top of the list for quality, reliability and customer care. whats in the past is in the past. 2024, Id buy this truck or a jeep all day every day and put the quality of them against any truck made.
@@Jason-Samko I listed off all the problems I had with my Jeep in another comment in another video so I won't relist the $25K of warranty repairs that it's needed. (side note, AC went out today in 100F weather. That was fun.). I will say that my neighbor's Renegade has been an absolute train wreck and my other neighbor's Ram has also been a money pit of repairs. We've all sworn off MOPAR based vehicles due to how we were treated by our local dealers while trying to get repairs done. .Last time I got my air suspension repaired they just cut a whole in my wheel well liner to get to the pump. They claimed another dealer must have done it but offered to fix it for about $700. Frankly, I should have known better as we had a mixed fleet of MOPAR and Fords at work and the MOPARs were going back for repairs at about a 5 to 1 ratio to the Fords.
Also, as I said before, it's a great vehicle when it all works.
I'm truly glad your Jeep has treated you well though. I'm still very much a fan of Jeeps. My grandfather owned a Jeep dealership and I have lots of wonderful memories in his many Jeeps. If I lived in MOAB, I'd probably STILL buy a Wrangler because it's just that awesome in that environment.
My other-other neighbor has a Colorado from the last gen. Aside from his transmission issues it's been reliable. I heard they fixed that issue with the 8-speed now.
@Revenant_Knight sorry that you had to go thru all fhat. My experience has been the exact opposite with all the jeep and ram trucks I've owned. And it's been many. The only vehicles that have never been in the shop ever were my cherokee trailhawk, renegade, 4 wranglers, ram 2500 and this gladiator. Every single ford and toyota and chevy I've owned had to go in multiple times with the exception of my 4 runner (just once). I hope you jeep gets sorted for you soon and again sucks you had to go thru that.
@@Jason-Samko Wow...we're basically yin and yang with car reliability!
@Revenant_Knight seems like it😂 but I sure hope jeep gets your rig sorted quick for you
Of course somebody 5'6 would say there is a lot of room lol
But I have also sat in all of them. Colorado rear space is excellent. Its nowhere near as good as the gladiator but its very good.
@@Jason-Samko 6'1 here. Nice review btw
youre not buying that for 33k i promise you that. invoice is 39k
K. Thanks
I still like the new rangers better
Ranger is a beautiful truck
33k nah mines loaded
Yep a loaded one will cost more. But the deals on the colorado are amazing right now
It’s still a Chevy and will only last 120,000 miles….🥴
well i guess its not the truck for you then.
Coworker has a 2017 with 108000 and brags about the two previous ones that have like triple that. Guess you don’t have good look with them.
@chrisangus1244 I live in ga now. Moved from Michigan where salt ate vehicles up in 5 to 7 years. Down here in ga I see sooo many old chevys on the road that have to have over 300k miles on them. I mean out of ever 10-20 year old truck I see 9 out of 10 are chevy
Maybe so but they are not colorados they are Silverados.
@@Jason-Samko nope and it certainly is no replacement for past Toyota quality before Toyotas screwed up. This is apples and oranges.
best looking truck on the market, however there are MAJOR problems with thee new engines and transmissions... GM needs to fix this asap! i was going to buy one until i did further investigations and went with the Tundra. I dont regret my decision, GM is garbage in my opinion.
Another pile of junk
cool
