During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

I love how far you have come Kyle! You are my go to review guy when it comes to information. Very very pleased with the channel!
I removed my front air dam on my 2017 z71 and all I used was a small, low profile ratchet with a T15 torx bit. I removed 13 bolts underneath the bumper that held the dam on. Pretty tight so I used some wheel ramps for more clearance. And i removed a couple of bolts on the wheel well cover/guard for more room to work with. Overall it took my 15 minutes to do so. Fairly easy and better way of doing it than this video shows. I didn't break anything and it come off like a charm.
Kyle, I feel like you helped a lot of people out by showing how to take the air deflecter off the front. Great, informative video as usual.
Now I see why you have so many subscribers, you give the best in depth vehicle reviews I've ever seen.
great editorial. professional and using facts with great editing . Thank you
Really nice truck
Thank you saablekyle for being awesome
Wow Saabkyle your current tool set has surely come a long way from this video. Not to mention your whole shop set-up is insane
Good job Kyle for showing how the darn front air dam could be removed. Many reviewers have been complaining about it but you are the first one I see that actually did it so ignore the negative comments of the peanut gallery.
The best review so far, now I want one
kyle you should do more demos in your videos, this in one of my favorite vidoes you've done. thanks for the demo in the review.
Excellent review young man...thank you
Sweet looking truck. I'm glad to see a return of the small displacement turbo diesel engine. I know that larger displacement (6.6 litre Duramax, Power Stroke, Cummins) diesel engines may be more popular, they (truck makers) should know that not everyone needs or wants a full-sized truck, that sometimes a smaller truck would work just fine for whatever you need to use it for. I can think of several vehicles that would benefit from such a diesel engine. :)
thumbs up! great review finally on TH-cam! lol I've seen way to many that are done by people with little to no mechanical know how and this was refreshing to see for a change.
Nice truck. The diesel sounds awesome. I love the way diesels sound.
Here´s an idea. Couldn´t you just turn the clips where the screws go through upside down and therefore have the screwhead facing downward?
Kyle your camara work is amazing!
I’ve seen videos where they do it without removing the entire bumper.
And they’re torx screws not hex screws.
Good test I just oder a 2017 Chevy Colorado LT crew long bed 4x4 with the Duramax love the small truck thinks like a big 3500 with 2.8 l Duramax Diesel & trailer brake controller & diesel exhaust brake
Thanks Kyle. Great video on a great new 1/2 ton diesel.
Another great review!
kyle u have evolved so much, great job
That looks sooo much better
great job man..i also like the way u talk
Hey Saabkyle, I've been watching for a while now and I just wanted to say, I love your content and it's always very professional. If you could reply, that would be really cool!
Keep on making great and informative videos!
Thanks for the good review. I noticed you to call the grill screws a hex screw. Hex is an Allen socket type you probably meant to say Torx
Which is the tool you pointed out.
Nice truck! Super reliable
Awesome Truck!
Thanks for sharing. We have a same mind of truck but mine is shortbed. I plan to take my air dam off as well. Do you lower the air in your tires before off roading?
Nice job!
As others have said, no need to remove the bumper. You just need a small low profile 1/4" socket set (found Bostich BTMT72275 at Walmart). Took mine off in about 50 minutes or so. No need to lift it either, just crawl underneath.
I see Colorado, I click.
Saabkyle04 I am a huge fan of your videos. Where do you do all your research for the cars?
Wonderful review!!!! Can you please review the 2016 Chevy Malibu Premier??!!
Good vid very informative.
I removed that off my Silverado by just removing the bolts that holds the air dam. about 17-22 bolts are on the Silverado and it looks WAY better than before.
thank you bro. you are the best 👍👍👍👍👍
Spot the og harbor freight rolling tool chest in the video. That thing is the real mans tool right there
The best !
OMG Kyle, thank you SM for this vid now I can stop begging... Lol
Hey Kyle, you ever going to try and do a video of the Yugo GV? That'd be REAL interesting, if you could do it. "As you can see, the Yugo GV comes with a rear window defogger, and it's keeping my hands warm as I attempt to push it." Lol.
Kyle you are the Man this is coming from a technician I've never thought that I would've seen a car reviewer remove a part from a fleet test vehicle GM should give you one I've never seen them show how dramatically it improve the off-road ability of the truck plus it looks way better I wonder if you were able to compare how worse the fuel economy got on the hi-way compared with the air dam on you would think they would've engineered something that would've been a 5 minutes deal to remove the other advantage to buy a Diesel is you can put a performance tune in the engine ECU the gas version would not improve as much because it has no turbo and generally diesels responds well to tuning what did GM say about you removing the front bumper cover ? Excellent review keep it up thanks.
Nice video, I heard there is a Denali version of the canyon what power increases does that have?
can you do an in depth video on a 2016 ford f-150 raptor? or possibly the 2017 version? that truck looks so cool. if you can, i thank you so much.
This truck looks better and more capable and higher quality than toyota tacoma
Ali Saleh
Without a doubt. The 3rd gen Tacoma has a lot of obvious quality shortfalls. The engine is weak as is the suspension and axles.
Tacoma is 10x better
@@josefgriveas7113 yet does everything but be cheap worse. Yeah got it.
Josef Griveas Agreed
I have a 2016 LT and you can easily take that air dam off without removing the entire front fascia. I did it from underneath in 15 minutes. No problem. You have to jack it up or get a pair of ramps. Easy removal.
very nice truck...the Tacoma is great looking as well
Jason X
Unfortunately once the Taco's rust rot sets in they don't look so great.
Kyle, Can you PLEASE Try to Find a Lincoln Blackwood Thx
I liked the ChristFix style Air Dam removal Haha
Sorry for bothering Kyle, but will you ever post the video of the CT6. I'm just very eager to see your tour of it! You give the best car tours!
Same dude, I was hoping he would do the CT6 and Colorado around the same time.
+Hery bob I'm not trying to rush him or anything but I'm just very eager to see it.
Thank you! It will be up soon, just returned the car last week and had some travels I had to attend to. I'll have it up within the next couple weeks!
I'm still waiting for the Elantra.
Oh damn didn't see the reply, hope I don't sound like I'm rushing Kyle :V
+Saabkyle04 Ok take your time! I wasn't rushing you or anything, I'm just very eager to see it.
I want that truck so bad thats dope
What cool Pick up truck
Thank you for subtitles for the video, because I'm from Moscow. I pick up my weakness
Kyle, please please PLEASE make a video on the C7 Corvette Grand Sport when it becomes available :)
I just removed mine. While this video certainly shows one way to do this it is way more work than necessary. Put the front of the truck up on jack stands to get a bit of room to crawl under it and you can do the entire thing from underneath the truck in under 45 minutes. No removing fender lining or entire front facia. The two piece in the corners have to come out as well as the two 10 mm bolt but that is it.
You should do a video over the 2017 Ford F-250 Platinum.
Hey Saabkyle ,BIG FAN , I was just wondering if you could review the 2016 Cadillac Escalade, and if possible the 2013 Cadillac Elmiraj , I know that car is hold but, its one of the coolest Cadillacs to me. THANK YOU
Can you plz do a review on the GMC Sierra Denali?
Could you also do a video for this on a 2015 and up suburban/Tahoe?
HEY! We have the same exact set of socket wrench
nice review and always wondered about that air dam removal. always looked wrong with it. is the 3.6l v6 reliable?
I know I’m 4 years late but I’d say yes and no. My mom had a 2017 traverse with the 3.6 and didn’t have a single problem but on the other hand my uncle had a Buick Enclave with the same engine and the timing chain went out at 110,000 miles. Those engine are really for their timing chains going out at around 100,000 miles and costs over $4,000 to do the job at a shop. On the other hand they are quiet and smooth and got the power when you need it. I just bought a used 2019 Colorado with the v6 and I’ve gotten up to 24 mpg on the highway.
Can you please review the 2016 Chevy Malibu Premier?!?! I would really appreciate it!
Hi Saabkyle04!!
I guess GM doesn't want you to be able to remove and replace the air dam easily once you arrive at the trail to go off roading.
Could you please do a video on the new mazda mx5.. I mean the convertible.
When's your review of the new Tacoma coming?
Saabkyle04 can you do a review of the Audi TT 2008 2.0 ?
Hey Kyle! just wanted to let you know, that there is a 2017 Audi r8 v10 plus at Audi of charlotte. GO REVIEW IT!
I agree a 1000% with you I was thinking that he should review it I'm die hard fan of the r8 and Audi in general
"Hey, everyone. How's it going"- CLASSIC.
You Should Do The 2017 Nissan GTR R35 Saabkyle04.
Kyle when will the 918 be uploaded?
so, does the locking differential only come on the z71? if not I'm not really seeing the point of paying for that package, when I can buy awesome tires and shocks after market
Weekend Warrior I’m pretty sure it comes with the trailering package on the other models too
Can you make a video on a 2017 GMC Acadia
wait so does the air dam increase mpg? i thought it creates drag which would decrease mpg?
is that air dam really necessary on pick up?
You don't need to pull all that off, it's tight but it can be removed in about half an hour without pulling the bumper off.
Why is there not a factory air dam delete option? At least on 4x4 and z71 trims...
Those purposes are sure intensive alright.
Kyle, do the 2016 CX-9! :)
All you need to remove the peace is a torques bit and a quarter inch ratchet wrench and a set of ramps to make it easier I did mine in under five minutes
They need to make it available with the full-size Dmax V8 diesel gobbs of torque & towing.
Pulling off that Air dam was the first thing I did to my 2015. So stupid they screwed the air dam in from the top down. Truck looks so much better without it.
Personally I like the look of the front ens without that extra piece at the bottom.
I like this truck, but I have two problems with this truck.
Bad front clearance on the bumper. Not something you want to have if you are going in and out of construction sites.
And it's waaaay too expensive. A well-equipped 4x4 model, say the Z71, is in full-size truck range. Doesn't make any sense. $40k+ for a mid-size is just nuts.
lol the equipment standard kills all competition.
Mate, when you go in and out of construciton sites, you don't buy the top trim. That would be retarded, as is complaining about the price when 4WD starts at 28k.
+AoyagiAichou mate, some people like to buy a nice truck they can use outside of work as well. Also, you'd think that front-end clearance wouldn't be an issue on a trim level that is advertised/marketed as "off-road".
ApexIXMR What stops you from using it outside of work when it's barebones? Nothing. And I'd like to see someone who buys an expensive leather-wrapped full-options pickup to do some dirty job with it. Good one, mate!
And yeah, maybe that front-end clearance seems not enough for someone who thinks "off-road" is the same as "rock-crawling", but it's more than enough for the mentioned construction sites. Most of them anyway.
Yeah, and the fuel economy on the gassers is about the same as the 1500's too. Colorado is 24 highway, Silverado is 21 high way with 6.2 v8,, 23 highway with 5.3 v8, or 24with the v6.
Can you maybe do the new Tacoma? I want to consider that one alongside the Colorado/Canyon.
go with the Tacoma, much more reliable and the best resale in the business and it will destroy every Colorado or Canyon off road
I like those trucks
Can you show the 2016 New Nissan Armada preview it if you can thanxs
would you not be able to remove it and cut it neatly so that it was only 2inches deep
Hey Kyle, you should do a 91-95 Acura Legend of you ever find one. Possibly Tyson Hugie's ;) not sure how far away you two live away from each other though.
can you do 2016 chevy silverdo 1500 LTZ
Still wish GM would release this in ZR2 trim as we saw at the autoshow...
Dammmmnnnn my mans got da gangsta hat on today. Woo weeeeee
Anyone know what model the nerf bar steps are on this truck?
Finally first comment!
Never been this early to a Saabkyle vid!
*4th
+Ghost Cuber I was first bud
Kyle would you say that Colorado is worth the money?
Do a review on the 2016 Chevy Malibu premier like seriously
Can you get the diesel on the gmc version
Yes.
That's all changed now with the ZR2.
Video was great, just got off topic in the beginning of the video. Showing a tutorial of how to remove the air dam should have been in a separate video. But great review nonetheless
i just wish Ford get off their ass and bring that new midsize ranger to America it would be awesome
That would be awesome, can't wait to see it!
They're bringing it back. In 2019.
I've seen them in Mexico. The front looks like the newer Explorer's. The back is just normal.
'Murica can't handle the Ranger. Too cheap and european for the common truck lover
+The Fault in Our Cutie Marks well Ford can pull a Toyota with the Tacoma and Hilux. And make a NA truck with its own unique feel.
