I’ve had a kinetic blue Z71 Colorado for a year now and it’s been great for my family of 5 and lots of fun as a daily driver. I’ve had two full sized silverados, 2 corvettes, mini cooper, miata, challenger r/t, vw golf gti... With seat time in various vehicles I can honestly say the Colorado has not been disappointing.
The In-line 5 was. 2007. I slapped a Blower on this 2018 (Total Sleeper). Tows my SeaDoo Boat quite fine. Went from 315 to 435 instantly. Fine.. 3 inch Cat Back straight pipe. They stole the Catalytic in there lot after the Accident. Took a U Turn idiot Honda Pilot in the Drivers door. My Bad? You do the math here. T Boned you..
I've purchased 3 of these Colorados now. 2 for company use and one for personal use. My personal ride is a z71 Crew Cab 4WD, Midnight Edition. It will get a 3-panel tonneau cover, carpeted bed liner and side rails next week and I'll be done. Unlike the too-large Silverados I USED to drive, I look forward to getting into and driving this truck every day. The only thing I miss is a powered rear window; the 4 door needs it. Thanks for a great review!
Fully loaded ZR2 are $5000 off MSRP all over my area in Georgia. If it were my money, I'd go for one of those all day. Currently have a 2017 ZR2 and its my favorite vehicle purchase to date.
I looked at AZR2 yesterday and the inside looks like junk.. I much prefer the Z71 package, unless there are no roads at all where you live. The ZR 2 is definitely superior in that sense.
Come on Guys! List price is $42K. If you paid window sticker, then you deserve to complain. I bought a fully loaded 2018 Z71 V6 Centennial Edition . $40K sticker for $33K.
this is cheaper than a wrangler by far with more horsepower, more towing capacity, more confort, bigger media screen... I love wranglers but jeep pricing is ridiculous.
When Joe, zonked the $42K he was right, there is some updating Chevy needs to do to ask for $42K. So, in real life sticker price is a Joke. So beat up your dealer and you will get a price that you are comfortable with. Mid 30’s for a mid size is about right. Just do your homework.
Gonna wait till the redesign the interior. Agree with your interior feedback. My 2014 Accord EX-L Coupe has a more modern interior and nicer materials. That was a $27k car.
I paid $31,900 for my Z71 crew cab brand new. And it has 6 directional power seats in front. I've never even thought about discomfort in the seats. Makes me wonder why I've heard so much about it. But the 308 horsepower is by far the most I've ever had in a mid size pick up, and I've owned 2 V8 Dakotas and an S 10 with the the 4.3 vortec V6. I think the hard plastic interior makes it very easy to keep clean. I do wish it had a power rear window. The ride is smooth and it handles very well. From what I've heard about the Ranger and the Tachoma, it is much more enjoyable to drive as an everyday truck. I have 71,000 miles on it and have had zero issues with anything. It also came with the 7 speaker Bose stereo system that sounds great. I just don't understand what all of the bitching is about. I guess I'm just easy to please.
After three or four years and at that price I’d expect some nicer interior materials. Dodge needs to bring back the Dakota with a beautiful interior like the Ram. Why do they de-power the 3.6 in the Colorado? My 2013 ATS has 321 hp and newer ones have 335 like the Camaro. Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Probably for reliability. OEM's will generally tune motors different for truck duty. Good thing is the torque numbers are about the same which IMO, it more important with a truck. Also your Cad has the 6 speed whereas this has the 8 speed. 8 speed is good but it did have some issues with shudder/torque convertor failures with some. I think GM has a new fluid and special bosch transflo machine that fixes the problem now. But it was a problem. Even on the camaros, cads and corvettes. GM can't make a decent transmission like ZF can.
HiPlains1 Thanks for the info. As for the transmission, I’ve not had any problems and I hear it’s the same transmission BMW used for years and was purchased from GM.
I will say this, The new Ford Rangers same price ranges but for 4 cylinder boost motors that lie about gas millage. If you are running under boost you are not getting the 20-29 MPG or whatever the Rangers claim they get. Ford is misleading on this. At least with the chevy you get a N/A v6 that will get good decent MPG for a v6. Also Does the Chevy shown come with a bedliner? Ford asks 35-40k for a decent ranger and no leather and no bedliners. TO me this truck shown is a better deal than the Rangers.
If you offroad you have to take off the air dam in front. Not sure why they include all the offroad suspension etc.. and then cripple it with poor clearance from the air dam.
I really want a Colorado v6 but the amount of reports of the 8 speed 8L45 shuttering / vibrating is just overwhelming. I have yet to see a solid fix reported. It’s a shame because they did such a good job on the engine.
Pretty spot on review. Test drove the big 3 mid size before perching. Taco trd, Colorado Z71, and Ranger. Ended up with the Ford Ranger, lariat, fx4, sport appearance. 42.5 and couldn’t be happier
Gonna get the 2021 z71 this month, pretty excited to have a new vehicle, my current over 10 year old cruze has been great but it's age is very glaring too me now and want something more modern and useful.
Downside of trucks, they gouge you on extras that should be included already. Hoping for major interior redo soon. Gorgeous truck, and my top pick, other than that stale interior that is way overpriced and under delivering.
You keep bringing up $42k. Realistically this is not a $42k truck especially midsized. The seats are not properly bolstered with a flat bottom, not a lot of storage, NO REAR A/C VENTS et cetera et cetera. I'm thinking maybe $39k or $40k would have been reasonable. But GM lost their marbles.
The running boards have to go and a Dremel tool would be needed to cut off that massive front air dam that really saves nothing in terms of gas mileage. Price is high. I'd say a fair sale price would be about $33k-$35k. And no push button start? What year is this again? Not a big deal, but it's still an expensive truck. For $29k out the door, I can get an outdated Frontier PRO4X that's as capable, if not more capable off road.
Great Review i do agree with most of your ZONKS for over $40k no push to start should have better or softer material on the dash the V6 in my opinion should have at least 350hp in my opinion. I'm thinking of getting a truck like this and giving it a very descent lift especially living in Texas would come in handy with the heavy rain we get it Texas. gotta love the trash can lid remark ( lol!!! ) keep those AWESOME VIDEOS coming
Hey Joe either the Z71 or ZR2 for accessories have you seen friends who make TH-cam videos or not do the Sports Bar with that Bed Tarp? (Bed Tarp to me gives the truck a military look)
I hate to leave a negative comment because overall the video is super informative. But when you’re looking at a truck and as you say a Z 71 that is made for work and off-road use. The absolute last thing I am looking at on my list is the texture of the buttons in the dashboard. You said 1 million times how cheap the plastic felt. When I am looking at a truck the number one thing I am looking at his reliability how does the engine perform how does the transmission perform how does the locking rear differential perform. Under load pulling a trailer how does it perform it’s a truck first it’s not a luxury vehicle. I think you’re kind of missing the mark on a truck review by stressing all of the tiny minute details of the interior. To the average truck guy that means absolutely nothing to them
42k??? Wtf the zr2s are going for 39k here in southern California. I would think we would have the higher prices in the country. Most Z71s are going from low 30s to mid 30s depending on 4x2 vs 4x4
Is anyone experiencing transmission problems with the older model truck ? I'm planning on purchasing mid sized truck and reliably is the most important thing I'm looking for in a truck .
Great review as always, but 42k for a mid-sized GM Colorado is an absolute rip off. Not because of the brand, but because of the features, build quality and pricing. I am going to say it again- this thing is not worth 42K. Thank you Joe!
@@Ari-il3ib Same. Pretty weird spike in beginning as far as depreciation goes. Boss had the 2017 version and got 25k for it, but he only paid 31K for it new.
I have driven the Colorado, new Ranger and Tacoma. The Ranger seemed the most fun to drive probably because it is the only one with a decent transmission. The Tacoma was a lumbering bore and did not even hold the road very well. I can't see anyone buying one after driving a Colorado or Ranger. All three have cheaper crap interiors than what we could buy in the 80s.
My son and I went car lot cruising tonight after dinner. All the dealerships were closed, which is the best time to go. I hit the Ford dealer and Ram dealer. I left both lots after looking at several trim levels and realized that I'll never be buying a new truck ever again. I'm sorry, not sorry that I refuse to have a $1k payment per month plus taxes and insurance and fuel. Even the new Ranger is out of my price range. Sad.
@DisneyChannelFlow it's pretty damn close. If you get a truck costing $50k out the door, then add in taxes and fees and interest and a five year payment plan...that's around a grand per month. Ridiculous.
If you want to off-road in this truck you have to spend an hour removing the air dam (17 torx screws) and the running boards. Plus there's another 1.5 hours to put it back together AFTER YOU CLEAN IT. I don't know what this does for the warranty. If you want an off road vehicle don't buy this. If you want a city vehicle to drive to the hardware store then an SUV is probably good enough.
Why is it Tacoma owners always bring up resale value? The Tacoma must really be junk if their owners are so worried about how much they can get for it when they get rid of it. If were truly great truck, you'd keep it until the wheels fall off.
@@RaitisRides I think maybe what Nix909 might be getting at is that the Z71 you reviewed is not the "base" Z71 and has added packages which adds to the cost...CO RST Special Edition package +$3k to MSRP it looks like from the badging, wheels, bedliner etc. Great review, but I think would be helpful to list the full set of options added to test vehicle. Thanks, Joe
I was actually thinking about getting one for my son, but the more you keep saying $42k the more I cringe. No way he's gonna have to settle for an 85' firebird...

I found that the small cubby on the dash as you pointed out. My garage door opener fits perfect in there. Use double sided tape and it is secure.

The leather seats break in nicely for comfort and the heated seats absolutely rock. Offroading wise $42K is bordering on the ZR2, which is winning.
The seats don't break in. I own one. They're hard as hell still. Very uncomfortable compared to the full size trucks.

Exactly right. $42,000 way too much for what you get. I think I could almost get a full size V8 Ford XLT for that.

I really want a Colorado v6 but the amount of reports of the 8 speed 8L45 shuttering / vibrating is just overwhelming. I have yet to see a solid fix reported. It’s a shame because they did such a good job on the engine.
The reason I went with the ranger is fear of the 8 speed.
Are u kidding? That's absolutely perfect...

Thanks for the compliment Jason! I am so happy that you got the truck you wanted!
I took my colorado z71 4x4 to dealership and had front air dam trimmed and now don't have to take it off big improvement
And yet, it looks like the 2021 model year will have the exact same light housing yet again! Still waiting for those signature led daytimes...
I got this for 32k i love it i wanna make some changes tho im thinking of doing a level kit
Trash can lid engine cover 🤣 good one
I am so glad that I could get you to laugh!
Raiti's Rides actually the engine cover is not just a cover. It’s actually integrated into the intake system
No zonk on the 80's shifter? Good thing other owners have figured out how to swap with other GM models like the Buick Envision. Nice truck otherwise.
Very good points! Thank you for letting me share this one with you!
Love that Badass Red & Black Z71... I do agree needs some upgrade interior, but Colorado is still my first choice in midsize trucks...
Thanks Richard for sharing your thoughts on this one!

great job Joe n Tom zonk all of it u had me laughing my but off great job n god bless
$42000 prior to leaving the car lot, $25000 as soon as u leave the lot. Tacoma holds its value, no comparison. Good looking truck, but
I would buy this truck before a tacoma for sure. Cant believe how often taco boys say resale value
Why is it Tacoma owners always bring up resale value? The Tacoma must really be junk if their owners are so worried about how much they can get for it when they get rid of it. If were truly great truck, you'd keep it until the wheels fall off.

@@RaitisRides I think maybe what Nix909 might be getting at is that the Z71 you reviewed is not the "base" Z71 and has added packages which adds to the cost...CO RST Special Edition package +$3k to MSRP it looks like from the badging, wheels, bedliner etc. Great review, but I think would be helpful to list the full set of options added to test vehicle. Thanks, Joe
I don't believe you can even use the phrase "best off road" anything with that crappy ground clearance.
I feel your pain John!
I was actually thinking about getting one for my son, but the more you keep saying $42k the more I cringe. No way he's gonna have to settle for an 85' firebird...
My first car was an 85 Firebird! I rather have that all day long!
Does anyone realize that he looks like tony hawk
HolyDragonGuy yooo I’m fucking crying 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you
It's easy to be a critic.
