Doug is the type of guy to say "thank you very much sir" everytime he bought something from the vending machines
First comment after 3 years

Doug the type of guy to tell you to go to his autotrader column when you're lost and asking for directions.
😂😂😂
LaRusso Very true.
+LaRusso Dumbass!
Lol I can just imagine a couple pulls up in a 2015 Corolla “Hi do you know where we can find (bla bla bla)?” Why yes just go to www.autotrader.com/dougdemuro and you’ll find it”
Then again, he may give you directions and inform you of the quirks and features of your route :)
Classic Doug DeMuro video. Spends 5 minutes talking about the stupid light bar; spends 0 seconds talking about the Multimatic DSSV suspension, which is quite possibly the most revolutionary thing about the ZR2.
R L that and the "manual mode" is actually a gear range selector in most trucks
I don't think he knows what a suspension is. He knows nothing about cars
Yeah i was really surprised he didnt bring up that suspension. Pretty bad ass. But then again im not really surprised.....
I was seriously hoping someone would mention this. I feel like the suspension is one of the highest selling points of the truck and it lost out to a roll bar lol
He called it a lift kit! What an insult! Doug, the kind of guy that would call the Mona Lisa a nice pic!
Rented an SUV from Turo. Drove to Niagara Falls with the family. Woke up to find a repossession agent towing away the car because of outstanding payments from the owner. Tried to get a replacement from Turo only to discover Turo isn't allowed to operate in the state of New York. My family vacation was ruined and still trying to get a refund from Turo. Beware!
You paid with a credit card, right? Cancel the payment, even if you paid with you debit card your bank should provide you with all the protections need to cancel that charge. No need to let something that minor ruin a vacation. Call enterprise and they would have had a car there within the hour. Can't let someone else's incompetence ruin your time.
Beware of the fine print!
Lol bullshit
That’s not really Turo’s fault
Jordan Chamberlain that kind of is Turo’s fault. Shouldn’t Turo somehow be verifying that people are up to date on their car payments? Theoretically someone could steal a car and rent it out on Turo with that thought process. That’s like Uber hiring a driver and you take a ride with him and halfway through he gets pulled over and arrested for driving without a license and you’re left there stranded and Uber doesn’t give you a refund. Ridiculous.
Doug is the type of guy to review the Colorado ZR2 and not talk about the shocks!
Jonah Bare yep not to mention it only tows 5k, this can kill people overloading a truck.
I smell a lawsuit 5k pounds towing not 7700, overloading can kill people??
A Lawsuit against who? Doug?
Harlan Durant the V6 does 5k or 6k the diesel model does around 8k
Pliff Only the ZR2 has a Max towing of 5,000 lbs regardless of having the Duramax or V6 Gas Engine, Crew Cab (Long or Short Bed) or Extended Cab.
Reason is the softer longer travel suspension and shocks. Just like how the Raptor can only tow around 8,000 lbs even tho it has more power then the standard F-150.
Any other model (Z71 for example) will tow 7,600 or 7,700 lbs with the Duramax. Depending on 2wd or 4wd.
Doug, you light up the world brighter than those LED's.
bro
gojoeyr
Dude you've been out in the sun too long. Learn to chill. It's a comment relating to Doug's abilities on rating vehicles which most of us can't do. I worship females, so good luck with your pent-up anger.
gojoeyr damn why are u so triggered?
EMERALDLOVER _15
You might want to sit down for a few minutes, you'll be ok, lol. Troll comments often?
gojoeyr is subbed to someone called hitomi crossdresser and tuyahime neko who is also a cross dresser. Pretty sure he is insecure about his sexuality and takes it out on people who make jokes.
Is it really "another third brake light", or is it simply just a fourth brake light?
Top 10 questions that will never be answered.
Well the actual third brake light doesn't work so in essence it is a second third break light
Calyx If true, fair point and well made :)
Is a hotdog a sandwich?
You're blowing my mind, man... Whoa.
Who else noticed that Doug's speech from the beginning is kinda more calm and sad than the other reviews?
True. Perhaps he was feeling a bit sick?
He was definitely off in this review.
Yep, his "Thisssss" wasn't as enthusiastic as other times..
Maybe he had a joint.
Doug is the type of guy to give his Tinder date a Doug Score
Puzzle Kid hilarious! and orignal!! Hahaha! Thanks!!
joke is getting old
🤣💁🏼♂️
😂😂
"One of the buttons is the exhaust break. It controls the exhaust break. "
Doug the type of guy to review a Chevy Colorado from Tacoma International Airport
Rob Spaghetti oddly enough it was a the Tacoma airport.
Kendal DK I just noticed that LOL
Rob Spaghetti
Holy shit lel
How did you not talk about the Multimatic DSSV shocks? Those are a main reason to buy this truck.
Cause he doesn’t even know what they are
True! That's why i bought mine!
Multimatic DSSV shocks were only mounted onto Colorado. I haven't seen them anywhere else. When he filmed under the truck, you could have seen them. But he should have explained. He admits that he doesn't say everything.
He never reviews 4x4s the way they should be reviewed.
@@lunamaria1048 I think he's just a city boy. No offense to him, I love the channel. TFL Truck has lots of offroading if your interested.
Jesus, was its first car wash with a brillo pad?
Matt Jia the owner probably actually takes it off road. My jeep looked lile that after its first time in the woods
Black is not the colour to get
I was referring to the heavy swirl marks on the clear coat , not the off road debris. Clearly was washed and dried improperly.
Exactly! My first thought was, "That's NEW??"
Thought the same thing
You had to go to Tacoma to rent a Colorado? There's a joke in there somewhere.
Soon he might go to Toyota city to rent a Honda
He's gotta go to the Tundra to rent a Sierra
Doug's going to go to Italy to review a McLaren
Goes to Yukon to rent a Dakota.
Goes to Santa Fe to rent a Veracruz.
*_Is it just me, or Doug sounds so calm in the intro? :D_*
You're not alone brah
So you’re not gonna even mention the F1 technology multimatic DSSV shocks that are bigger than your head? You know, those shocks that make the ride quality just as good off road as on the road? No? Oh okay cool
He has no idea
also came here for this comment...the very reason this truck is the machine it is...
Doug the type of guy to have a fifteen second bit about how Chevrolet are secretly advertising for Adidas.
Nick van Zwol I prefer Finlandia Swiss
Suzuki did it first with fronte and now they did it again with suzuki ignis
Not Adidas.... Fiat ( look up their '90s logo )
Those swirl marks are driving me nuts!
Huracan Obsession good I hope the paint falls off. That’s what people get for undercutting us professional detailers and brining it to idiots.
Holy hell that's the only thing I could focus on during the beginning of the video. That's a NEW car??
You're saying you don't use only one bucket and reuse the rag after dropping it on the ground??? smh
I *believe* the map pocket only being on the back of the passenger seat is because that is the most accessible one for the driver to reach. It's easier to reach to the right and back a little than directly behind you. It's old school.
That and they probably don't want backseat passengers (kids) messing with the driver's chair
I have the same thing on a 2012 Cruze.
>"midsize truck"
>truck bed reaches the height of your neck
car marketingdoesnt seem right anymore
Jarwd well you can put a lift kit on a Chevy luv and it's still a small pick up truck.
Well in the rest of the world it would be one of the biggest you can buy along with Hilux or L200. But in the US the large ones are borderline monster trucks. In my country one of those would only work only on main highways and open fields.
How is it even possible to review the ZR2 and not once mention the Multimatic DSSV shocks, literally the most significant thing about this whole truck. Mind-boggling.
I agree..Doug doesn't always do enough homework. Like the time he was fascinated by a high/low beam switch controlled by your left foot. Nearly all cars had them at one time yet Doug made it sound like a rarity. Or speaking so highly of the Jeep Cherokee which when they were new in the 80s and 90s were horrible unreliable vehicles. He shows his age sometimes...but on the other hand he's mainly great at what he does.
The ZR3 will probably be the beginning of their aircraft line.
ZR3 would be insane! What if they made the ZL1 for trucks like they have Camaros?
Good lord look at that paint. That’s why you don’t run black vehicles through a car wash!
Adam Gentry that paint got fucked up, and there was water spots 😔
Drake Smith were*
Lucki Fan Account I would like to call myself a "grammar nazi"
That paint is so bad i dont even think a car wash did it.(and i normally would) almost think the owner is one of those who rubs the dirt off with a dry rag or something. or a gas station squeegee
Was scrolling through the comments to see if someone else noticed, the first thing i saw....
You've completely forgetten to mention the DSSV shocks. The only truck on the market to offer those shocks and they're the whole reason it is on-road and off-road capable.
The Shortish Nord Half the features on GM vehicles he either skips or talks about in the most uneducated way.
I get the feeling Doug doesn’t understand how capable this truck is off road. It’s not a budget raptor. In many ways it’s better than a raptor.
And her doesn't rate the truck as a truck. He scores it as if it were a family vehicle.
Also, side note, it's not a Jake break. thats a specific brand and a totally different set up that uses the valves. this one uses a flap of sorts near the turbo.
I started out finding Doug very annoying.... but now... I love the guy!
He just has a lot of quirks and features.
@@kingalex29339 I'm dead🤣🤣🤣
You miss the best part of the truck. The special adjustable shocks/dampers!
They arent adjustable though,they just use a spool valve internally rather than pistons and shims. Which,isnt really that big a deal.
Interesting. I guess I adjusted my shocks in my mind the other day. :)
doug demuro the type of guy to wear a life jacket while mopping up the floor
Wolffie I laughed way too hard at that
Lmao why can I picture him tho doing that 😂
Wolffie he wears one when taking a bath that’s for sure
I much rather have an actual key , instead of a push button.
I would agree.
Makes it official.
But then again, I haven't had a car with a start button.
And a button to start your car would be cool
I have a name , until the battery in your keyfob is dead, and you have to take the fob out of your pocket and put it near the button, or the specific place the car has it, and start it that way.
A key, never fails.
I deal with push button start cars at work, and I am not a fan
My Corolla is push button and my Silverado is a key. The key is the way to go. I'm not a fan of push button start
If your battery dies there is supposed to be a physical key in the key fob. There is also an actual ignition switch somewere
But you will get both key and the key fob.
“Brand New”
Paint is TRASHED
Myles Hejmanowski in the north there is no way to avoid auto washes because in winter you cant wash it yourself. you also need the underbody to get washed every week so it doesnt rust. there is no way to do this without an auto wash. the owner of this car just hasent buffed it or had it professionally waxed
John vandenheuvel Nah There’s such thing as touchless washes. Either this truck was touched many times by a crappy hard bristled snow brush or it has gone off-roading in mud (based on the mud already on it) and mud etched into the paint. I’m a detailer and I’ve seen all kinds of clear coat scratches in my time alive, from crap brushes.
Nah I just off road it!
Fuck having a garage princesses this truck is meant to be used:
Check out my car on Turo! turo.com/us/en-us/truck-rental/kent-wa/chevrolet/colorado/308355
Richard Reyes hey man that’s cool you got to watch Doug review your truck. I also off-road my s10 in the north mud and it’s nice to see it all clean and black again after. But I show off the mud I gathered for a week or so ahah
@@d4s2k fuck you and your truck.
Next video..."Here's Why The El Camino is the coolest small truck"
Now that would be cool
TheNoseyProductions not a truck
The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupé utility/pickup vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet from 1959 to 1960 and from 1964 to 1987.
Introduced in 1958 (for the 1959 model year) in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero pickup, its first run lasted only two years. Production resumed in 1963 (for the 1964 model year) based on the Chevelleplatform. In 1977 (for the 1978 model year) it was shifted to the GM G-body platform. Production finished in 1987.
Although based on corresponding Chevrolet car lines, the vehicle is classified and titled in North America as a truck. GMC's badge engineered El Camino variant, the Sprint, was introduced in 1970 (for the 1971 model year). Renamed Caballero in 1977 (for the 1978 model year), it was also produced until 1987.
In Spanish, el camino means "the road" or "path".
By GM its a truck tho😐
Zettel 9016 Why would I waste time?
How to start an intro like doug only 2 ways :
1. this is a
2. In front of me
Done
LAM Channel zisss. isss..
Haven't heard "In front of me" for a long time. All I hear is "This... is..."
you gotta emphasize the 'This'. it's like... "THIS... is something something why make three buttons?"
Note that in this episode the THIS is not emphasized enough. Doug didn't rehearse enough.
The condition of that paint... at least it's being used though :D
Yeah that blew me away. That paint looks SO BAD for being so new.
Shodan Cat If you off-road in the Pacific Northwest, your trucks paint job is going to suffer. Old logging railroad grades are favorite trails to run on when looking for mud. And the trees grow really thick along them. Thats one way to tell a real offroader from a wannabe.
Yeah I understand that. I'm sure with a little effort (two or three proper wax applications, for example) could still keep it looking pretty nice. But if the owner doesn't give a crap about it, more power to 'em :)
thats from neglect not offroading
Touch car washes.
my favourite Colorado is the z71, it is slightly cheaper ($37,000) and it has a reliability rating of 4/5, it also got winner of the year for 2016 pickup trucks in Motor trend and USN, the top speed is 135mph which is fairly good especially for a pickup, the z71 is available with the 3.6L v6 which has the most cylinders for Colorados, it also has the only V shaped engine and has the most hp of 308 and 275 lb ft of torque
This rating system is so confusong lol coolest truck gives it a 5 out of 10 for coolness
Perhaps he just hates this vehicle category in general?
Not confusing at all, it makes perfect sense. The score applies to ALL cars in the list respectfully.... Are you expecting him to give a Colorado a 10 out of 10 alongside some of the rarest exotics? That would be ridiculous. It's a cool truck, but that's just it, a cool truck, can only be rated so high on the list, when the list contains exotics and other rare vehicles too.
Mid sized trucks is a very niche category, if anyone is gonna spend 45 grand they get a brand new silverado
Programmerx gotta give chevy room to improve lol, I got a job review last week, gave me a 4 out of 5.... had no problems with my work and nothing he wants me to do or improve on. Says dont worry, nobody gets a 5. Needless to say I am irked!
I think 5 is high for any truck besides the Raptor
Please review a Smart. Please.
WubWub hes 6'2 he can't fit inside
AK Safwat he's definitely 6'4", didn't ya know?
AK Safwat he fit inna BMW isetta he’ll make it work
he should review a fisker
That's dumb.
The rear seat pocket is for the driver. It would be hard for the driver to use a pocket behind their own seat. Thats my theory
Jacob Hyde i agree 100%. i use those pockets all the time. and you can’t really reach the one behind driver seat from the seat itself
Jacob Hyde im glad i read the comments because i was thinking the same thing
My honda is the same, pocket only behind the passenger seat
Jacob Hyde I think it's a GM thing. My 01 cavalier only has one on the passenger side as well and I believe it is for the driver .
Heated seats make me think I just pee'd in my seat. You know, it's all warm down there.
thank you very much for adding L/100km
Doug the type of guy to copy and save all the Doug the type of guy comments.
What? No mention of the special Multimatic DSSV shocks?
forreal
DEF? DPF regen?
Glad you like it, I build these. My team puts on the hood scoop and main body wiring harness and a few other things.
Doug 2k18- "If I were buying a zr2, id make sure it had the bar".
am I the only person who thinks he sounds a bit less happy than he usually does? :/
Emmanuel chanda lmao no
Probably because he is in Seattle lol
I guess the reason why he is so calm is because he is in a quiet neighborhood.
This is among the best entertainment on YT. I had to put on a pot of coffee and make cheese sammiches to watch this. :P
same whenever doug uploads i get food so i can watch it comfortably
Molly Nap Queen
What bread did you use?
Toasted or not?
What cheese was used.. quantity?
Tomato?
How was it sliced?
Putting it on white bread.. with 2 pieces of Velvetta.. with barely a melt or toast on the exterior...
Is a problem and downgrade for ALL BREAD KIND!!!
Molly Nap Queen mmmm....sammichs
You guys are all creeps.
let's make babies
I love how Doug's height changes from 6'2" to 6'4" from video to video
"Coolest midsize truck!" and the Doug score is 46 :)
I know right ? Does not match up to what he said about this truck AT ALL, SCORES IT A 1 FOR ACCELERATION ? IS IT A LAWNMOWER ?
Turo probably threatened to cut him off if he kept slamming the cars that he gets through them. He didn't seem very enthusiastic throughout.
Being a Chevy is an insta-40 point penalty
Cool is Doug's only adjective
Doug bases his acceleration score off sports cars so even if the vehicle gets insanely good acceleration for the class it's still a 1. That F-250 he did weighs like 9000 pounds and got 0-60 in ~6 seconds and he gave it a one
That truck needs to be detailed asap.
Didnt even go into the shocks...
Doug knows what he doesn't know. And he doesn't really know trucks.
So sad to see his reviews of trucks like this. TFL trucks is much better.
Doug! You completely missed out on the trick, DSSV suspension...
Doug you gotta do more research on these. Last week’s Motorcraft gaffe was harmless, but people could watch this and actually think this truck tows 7500 pounds. It actually only tows 5000.
noobasdfjkl 5K , i own one.
The diesel version can tow up to 7500
S1000RR Ant not in ZR2 trim it can’t. The off-road suspension lowers the towing capacity.
S1000RR Ant stop the fake news...
I don't know where I got the extra 500 from.
“A second third brake light”...didn’t realize I was watching inception Doug
Im glad chevy offers a diesel with this truck, its cool
Hey Doug! Wanted to let you know that the ZR2 is rated at towing 5000lbs, not 7700lbs. I was looking this up myself earlier, before I even realized you published a video on it. From GM as to why, "... [the] two-inch higher lift, three and a half inch higher track, and both cause towing ratings to slip". Maybe worth throwing updated text on the video. It's also noted on Chevy's official, "Trailering and Towing Guide" for the Colorado at the bottom, "Towing capability is capped at 5,000 lbs. for Colorado ZR2, regardless of engine."
gmauthority.com/blog/2016/11/why-the-2017-chevrolet-colorado-zr2s-tow-rating-fell-by-2000-pounds/
Frankly I think it _can_ tow the full 7700lb. I mean tell any lifted truck owner that, as long as they had the proper stance/tongue weight/etc, they can't tow their full capabilities anymore. I imagine GM is being conservative because of the shocks but who knows.
From one car guy to another -- I am a little disappointed. Doug you are typically way more researched than this. I know it's a truck but it's not that hard. Glad you reviewed the truck though.
Hell my 2004 Jeep Liberty tows 5000 pounds. Doug has about no idea when it comes to offroading.
Doug the type of guy to tear off the crusts of his PB+B sandwich
Jeff Boski
You mean PB&J?
Daft newt you high? PB+B?
Eduj
Peanut butter and bread?
Lmao he totally is
Peanut butter + Banana. It’s an Elvis Presley classic recipe.
Doug’s the type of guy who won’t let you cheat in class
"We'll whoop your ass after the class"
Doug: okay, i won't tell the teacher.
Apparently the ZR3 will be an Electric Semi.
LOL.
Wait ... seriously??!!
As a Washingtonian myself I'm embarrassed but not surprised to see the Bigfoot themed sticker and "roots" WA outline sticker. Those are like the new national icon of "I'm an outdoorsy/adventurous young person" around here. My friends and I go out of our way to snap pictures of WA plate Subaru Crosstrek's that don't have some version of a WA roots/tree heart beat sticker on it lol
Lmao same thing here in Oregon
The ZR2 is rated at 5,000lbs towing because of the suspension. The regular Colorado/Canyon with the diesel engine can tow 7,700lbs.
Rob Huddleston 👌
?
I know. I cringed every time he said 7,700
But this is a Diesel Colorado.
retardno002 but this is the ZR2 with different suspension and a limited Towing capacity
How did you not mention one of the most important features of this truck, the Multimatic Shocks!
Doug the type of guy to talk about the exhaust brake but not test it.
He rented a Colorado at the Seattle-TACOMA airport. Says LOADS right there. Chevy ZR2 FTW!
And now he drove a Tacoma
And preferred it
After observing the Colorado ZR2, now I’m praying that the new Ranger Raptor comes to the States.
When you click faster as you read the titel and realize the Chevy ZR2 isn‘t a Corvette 😄😄

“THE BAR” - Doug DeMuro
I got a hard on for that Hard Bar!
Doug, I figured out who you remind me of, Jay Leno.
Just a few comments -
Doug talks about the "simplicity" of the interior - the shift lever, no keyless start, etc. - but I think it's brilliant on the part of Chevy - they are literally targeting the audience that will buy this model.
[Most] People that buy this model are going to be buying it for off-roading or it's towing capabilities; they aren't going to be concerned about Dougs "Mercedes AMG" luxury benefits like automatic seats, keyless start, a trendy shifter, sunroof, etc. - people don't buy this for luxury, but rather they want a basic, rough, tough vehicle that exudes the style and benefits of it's primary use. It makes perfect sense not to mash too much luxury into a vehicle for this targeted audience as it is going to be used in a way that luxury vehicles wouldn't survive. Some crossover benefits, like heated seats? Absolutely - the first heated seat offering in vehicle was not actually a luxury vehicle, but a rough, tough truck that was designed for cold weather climates. Likewise, the Colorado was originally marketed many years ago as a mid-size, "secondary" ranch/farm truck - which means, having the benefit of a heated seat on cold, wintry days make sense.
The "button" shifter on the gear shift makes perfect sense as well - most people targeted at buying this vehicle would only look at utilizing a manual shifter if they were towing something and needed to go slowly and/or provide more torque to do it. Old-style shifters (that he mentions in an off-hand way) did this with a "low" and "mid-" gear, setting because they were mechanical shifters; today, cars use digital, computer controlled shifting so there is no reason to have a manual-style shifter in place when all you have to do is push a button to achieve the same thing digitally. Again, targeted groups for this would use it for downshifting for hills, grades, etc. while towing something so as not to overheat the engine - not playing Mr. Luxury racing car or road rage with paddles or a shifter as found in a luxury car.
I have loved Doug's videos since finding the channel, but sometimes find his lack of experience, knowledge and/or insight into the "why" factor challenging and frustrating - the worst I found was recently was his video reviewing a 1980's car where he didn't know what a manual equalizer on the stereo was... this undercuts usually comprehensive and intricate reviews; hopefully, this will change in the future as an assessment in self-improvement and growth. Doug, a word of advice? If you don't know the "why" or can explain it comprehensively, R E S E A R C H to provide an answer, or find a "guest-star" to explain it.
Sorry, simplicity should be reflected in the pricing. This should be no more than $30K given how much cost cutting is evident.
This can also be said when he reviewed the 4Runner.
My man - YES. You are dead-on & why I bought a ZR2. I wanted a no nonsense off-road capable truck for weekend excursions & compared this to the Tacoma & Ranger before buying. I also have a Jeep JL that serves trail duty in the Sierras.
Thank you for telling also the metric values!
Yep, the driving part gave me a stroke.
I've got to say Doug, this isn't your best work. The ZR2 only tows 5000, not 7700. Also, how do you just skip the DSSV shocks? They are a huge part of the ZR2. The main reason I bought my ZR2 was the DSSV shocks, diesel engine and the front locker. I can afford a Raptor and still chose the ZR2. The Raptor is too wide for the trails I run and the Raptor doesn't have a front locker.
One request, pls do a all round car view from the outside, like just do a circle with a camera around the truck while you introduce the car in the beginning...
My guess for the reasoning that the pocket on the seat back is only on the passenger side is not only for cost cutting, but also because it's their for the driver. Sitting in the driver's seat, it is easier to reach behind the passenger seat.
doug you are wrong about the towing part the zr2 has a greatly reduced tow rating due to the shocks look it up
Doug is a type of a guy who switches off-road mode ON when he sits on the toilet
Doug, the type of guy to support North Korea in the World Cup
lol
Yes
lol
so true
I hope Ford brings the Ranger Raptor to North America, it would be cool to see a comparison between this, The Ranger Raptor and the Tacoma TRD Pro.
Ford ranger:”hold my beer”
George Washington because it has to get unstuck from the mud
Ford ranger is amazing
CAMARO_KYLE any truck can get stuck in mud! Had you been muddin with friends you’d realize that
I'm not even really a car guy but I really enjoy your personality and the way you review cars
I own a 2016 Colorado Duramax (crew cab, long bed, Z71) and absolutely love it! My best 50 mile fuel economy was 34.0 mpg. I easily get 30mpg highway at around 78 mph, and around town it gets 25 mpg. I've never had a better truck.
Wait till it's out of warranty...
I put on a LOT of miles, and I also purchased it used. The difference in used prices is only a couple grand between the gas & diesel versions. I'm not worried about long term reliability -- everyone says this automaker or that automaker "don't last like they used to," but actual statistics show that they are lasting longer than ever before.
I have 35,000 miles on it and I'm not worried one bit. I've never had an issue with the truck at all.
Wow, that's an awesome deal!
Did you put on a loud exhaust on it?
It only has a storage compartment on the back of passenger seat so that the driver can access it easily. It wasn’t designed for the back seat passengers.
Those swirl marks in the first shot made me cringe.
Jason, what do you think the paint looks like a soon as you drive it down a track, bushes et al ? Shiny paint on an off roader is an oxymoron.
I get it. Just an observation.
Nor Dic going off road doesn't cause swirlmarks, washing it wrong afterwards does
I noticed it as well. He definitely takes it thru an automatic car wash that uses those spinning brushes. Those things absolutely destroy a cars finish. It could use a buffin!
The ZR2 is NOT tow rated for 7,700 lbs. It is capped at 5k lbs due to the suspension and possibly cooling. The Duramax Colorado Z71 is rated at 7,700 lbs.
*Need a review of a Supra big boy*
Yes
Chevy should of based the 2019 blazer on this beauty.
Drake Smith it would be better if they did, but though regulations would make it hard for GM to achieve their goal because SUV and Trucks don't have the same regulation.
In markets like South America and Southeast Asia, they sell the Trailblazer which is based on the Colorado.
Mel Laknanurak man that would be pretty cool
Mel Laknanurak I'm sorry if don't get my point,I'm talking about U.S regulations here, witch is one of the hardest standard in the automotive industry.
My point is GM don't use the Colorado chassis for the Blazer, because it may not reach the EPA fuel economy standard, and it could end up having a low IIHS crash score.
To be safe GM avoid using a body on frame to help comply with U.S regulations.
Just realized that Doug holds his hands up in every thumbnail.

Bought a 17 Colorado Z71 with the Duramax diesel...48k miles later it had numerous electrical issues. Had it in the dealership for the better part of a month. Finally got fed up and told the dealer I didn't want it back. Two different mechanics I spoke to while hanging around the shop told me they see a lot of the diesels in the shop...left that day with a Zr2 V6. Loved the diesel but it has some bugs to get worked out.
I had a 2016 Z71 Colorado and it fell apart in a year, I loved it but was riddled with problems. From screens needing to be replaced to the heat dying twice mid winter, squeaky brakes after 15k and a knock in the rear end, I was sooo happy when I got rid of it, it was such a scary burden to bear.

Holy shit that guy loves touch washes. Hurts to watch how bad this paint is.
Yeah it's bad, but I work at a car wash and cars will end up like this even if we hand wash it (there's a touch wash tunnel that does 99.99% of the cars) because our wash mitts are stored on the dirty wash tunnel floor.
AerisM that’s why I don’t goto car washes. Home wash with a dryer, or rinse less wash with a clean super sponge, high quality microfiber. Have my car ceramic coated as well
I used to work for a car wash, and the only time I would use one is during the winter and if spray washes weren't available
Yeah, I was wincing from the start of the video. I've had my truck covered with mud and got it clean without adding any swirls.

How much to polish my knob? 🥒💦

Ryan Pavey black cars get like this I bought one and it already looks like this after a year it’s horrible
He needs a paint correction to fix that shit lol buffing wont do
I was just thinking the exact same thing. The paint looks horrible.

This is a brand new 2018 Doug DeMuro video
He said “this” in the wrong pitch 🤨
ScherervilleEAS yeah he usually says it like tHIS
You completely glossed over what makes this such a capable off-roader: the Multimatic suspension!
Doug talks about 31 inch tires like he’s never seen anything bigger, and All Terrains like he’s never seen Mud Tires
The paint is so bad its killing me
Mathew Bimbo it’s an 4wd dude lol
MrTacticalSloth doesn't mean it heaves ro look like shit
To^
Yea it's like someone drove it through a electric car wash 100 times!
MrTacticalSloth no brand new car should look like this, the paint looks like they rubbed dirt over it dry
Happy 300th video!
Doug should review the Mercedes 6x6 which is the coolest truck. 🏁even better than the Raptor, however, the Raptor is more affordable.

Doug I’ve been following you from the early times at jalopnik- I appreciate how much work you put into these videos and how efficient you’ve gotten through the years, it’s badass! Keep it up dude
You were really tame in this video. Were you running on little sleep or something?
