#chevy #colorado #zr2 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Wow! I think this is the most comprehensive test on a vehicle you’ve ever done. Quite a truck! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
😆😄 Not bad but I still say Tacoma wins!!😉🌮🌮🌮 Great video looks so fun!! Those rims are sharp!
Tacoma killer? Lol no. As a simple test, check after 100k, 200k, and 300k miles. One 500 mile test is nothing.
@@MaryandTheJeepCycle why?
@@truthseeker8123and what data do you have to show this inline 4 will not last to 300k and 400k miles? Toyota had already proven that they can’t be reliable with brand new power plants.
Usually stuff like this is bleeped out, but at 7:08….the “Oh, Sh*t” from Andre got me 😂😂
I had to replay it 5 times to make sure I heard it right. 😂😂dven turned the captions on but it didn't show the sh!te part.
Earmuffs!
Language!!!
Chevrolet really stepped it up with the release of this vehicle. They definitely want to show this truck off. I don't recall a similar event with the release of the Silverado ZR2. No other manufacturer has put this amount of effort as well which is cool.
Probably because they killed the v6 and wanted to try to sell the 4 banger.
Ranger raptor will dick slap this thing 😂
It's junk!!! Keep throwing your $$$ away. 😂😂😂
They may have stepped it up with the press releases but the dealer I work at has yet to see one on the lot yet. My ZR2 order TPW gets pushed back every week as well. I would call it a horrible release.
@@CDechnik12889I work at the factory they just started shipping in March starting with work trucks and then other trim levels. We only built a couple of ZR2's but a bunch of AT4's, not sure what the reason is why maybe parts. I do know a few reason why the launch is bad is because GM wanted to make sure the truck is completely perfect do to the issues with last gen then we also have part shortages and a lot of new tooling has been added... And well you know adding automation to everything just leads to more headaches, also hope you get your ZR2 soon and you like it.
GM absolutely nailed these trucks. I just purchased a new '23 Denali Canyon. I couldn't be happier with the performance and the looks!
God damn it, I'm a year into my wait-time for my Bronco and all these ZR2 videos are making me want to re-consider. This truck would be $15k cheaper too.
An u would be right to reconsider those broncos are junk bro
Yep I love the Bronco but the Black Diamond comes to almost 60k with the options I want. This is a better deal and you get a pick up bed.
@@lukemyers1432 junk in what way
I just sold my bronco and ordered a zr2. The bronco was overpriced and overhyped.
Dude either get this or a Jeep. Broncos are over-hyped soccer mom tough girl cars.
I’m obsessed with this truck. I want one so bad! Congratulations to all who own one.
It is a beautiful little big truck.
@@G-Rated very true
Just know, there is a daily high price to pay, not just in gas. I loved driving my 2018 zr2.
Great work AS USUAL y'all. Special shout-out to whoever did the camera work in this video... Really nice work in cabin and in motion.
This was Cole behind the camera. Amazing work!
Yes excellent point!!!
WOW talking about a dream job. Great job Andre, highly enjoyed it. Looks like Chevrolet just set the bar about two notches higher.
I agree, Still 2 knotches below Tacoma.
It would be 2 notches lower since both ford and Ram both use trucks that start 2 notches above this to start with.
But yes, definitely a dream job.
How exactly did you calculated the notches?
@@axios76
Easy,
Reliability 1 notch
Resale 1 notch
Looks 1 notch
It's 3 notches better than Colorado
Hard to get a “throaty” sound from a 4 banger. Enjoyed the video!
@@RICHYSUNCLE it only comes in a 2.7l turbo 4 cylinder.
@@RICHYSUNCLEit’s a Colorado not a Silverado.
@@RICHYSUNCLEhasn't had a v8 since 2012. But here's to wishful thinking.
I guess GM managed to trick at least one person into thinking it was a V8.
That's why all these companies are piping in fake exhaust noise thru the speakers. So lame.
Hearing Andre let out an uncensored "oh sh!t" was what I needed on this Sunday morning so thank you for that.
Ikr I was rolling
Usually not a fan of GMC/Chevys infotainment but I like the look of this one and the graphics look stunning
Great Job Andre. You gave us all the important info and you did well out on those trails.
Amazing job. Thank you for picking the more affordable ZR2. Means a lot for us regular folks.
My Trail boss was bought for $39k! So much more affordable than the GMC
Exactly ! Like who is dropping 60 grand on these mid size trucks. Like even if you can afford it at that point you can just get a full size. It no longer makes any sense.
I like the Tacoma and Ranger but to me the zr2 has always been the best looking, aggressive and sporty at the same time
What a great upgrade to this truck! Probably wouldn’t get one personally, but it will be neat to see these out and about! Also interested to see the long term life and maintenance on these guys.
Great review - thank you Chevy for keeping the market competitive and bringing one of the coolest trucks to the market!
I'm liking this truck more & more. Might be trading my 17 Tacoma in for a '24 model
I drove a Taco for a few days. I honestly preferred my Maverick because of driving position, interior space, and the extra 500 lbs payload. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Taco but the Colorado os definitely on my list
As a resident of Reno, NV and a proud owner of a ZR2 (2019) I love this video. You guys rock. I bought my truck largely based your videos. Keep up the great content!
I like for tge first time for me... is that you finally are able to go hard real time Off-roading. You look shucked up. Real good content. This makes someone to purchase a vehicle really understand what it can do.
Enjoyed this video on your journey across Nevada. What an opportunity to play offroad. Especially since Andre has a new Colorado. Are you excited to try out your new truck on this course, Andre? You guys are so lucky to have these opportunities. Great job guys! These trucks look very appealing now!
Opted for the AT4. Everything I need and nothing that I don’t. I know the DSSV shocks are great, but I’ve always been a sucker for Elka. Never needed a front locker in years of overlanding. Excited to see how a new truck handles the canadian rockies
same
I like the GMC too. It seems like you get a little bit more for the money with the GMC.
@TFLoffroad: Nice work Andre! Love this stuff. So exciting.
Thank you.
Andre is a gem to this channel. But y’all already know this
That talented Ruskie 🇷🇺
I’ve been following your coverage of this truck since it was unveiled and this video actually made me go down to the dealership and order one. Gonna be a long wait but I’m pretty pumped
Great content as usual. Waiting on my ZR2 to show up at dealer. Hopefully it’s smooth on paved roads to go along with the excellent off road ability. Gauge cluster looks really cool. Thanks for the great video.
Great video Andre, can’t wait for the all electric Vegas to Reno in these trucks!!! One of the trucks can tow the Diesel generator!!!!!!
Finally a video up my alley, it's always rock crawling, muding or something like that. I've spent my entire life offloading the desert in this type of stuff. Thanks for the Video
Great video and looks like a lot if fun! (I was lucky to do something similar in military hummer offroad training).
In a perfect world I could justify the ZR2, but honestly the Z71 is the better fit for me (on order).
I’m really surprised at the cost of the Desert Boss package- $9200 seems a bit steep for what you get , and the winch isn’t even included!
My wife was just saying she wanted the "Jeep-Truck" because she likes the bed access. I told her nooooo way. This is a great looking and practical truck (for us who dont need/want a full size). We live in AZ and spend time in UT. So a strong 4x4 is a must. I might have to give GM some $$$.
THANKS GUYS 👏👏👏... HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️
That air down screen and alert is totally awesome. 👍🏼
I wanted a colorado in 2021 but when I compared the last gen interior to my 10 year old Kia, the Kia looked like a spaceship it terms of technology and convenience. It's nice to see Chevy step their game up. I'll be looking trade in my F150 for a 2024 ZR2 once everyone beta tests the 2023 model :)
We need to see zr2 vs ranger raptor vs trd Tacoma when they are all available...to really see the best.....for now good job gm 👍.. about time
I raced Vegas to Reno in 2018 BITD with a Polaris RZR turbo and I can tell you that is not a easy task and was a experience of a lifetime! So happy for you Andrea that you was able to experience it first-hand, Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the feedback! Our route was mainly graded, because BITD must grade the route after each annual race. It was easier than on race day, but still difficult.
I was never really considering a Colorado, but the more I see & hear about it, it’s totally moved to the top of my list.
I’m not a Chevy fan but theirs a big off-road following with these trucks and I’ve seen some being abused for sure and they survive
Looks like a ton of fun. I have a 2016 Colorado Z71. The new Colorados have tempted me some.
Toyota need to up their game for the Tacoma TRD Pro!! This Colorado ZR2 is sick and I’m a Toyota guy!! Good job Chevy!
I’d still buy a taco over the zr2. Reliability is key. Cool user name. My dad was 101st in Vietnam. He was a ch47 door gunner/crew chief. 👍🏼
Toyota has the most overhyped reputation for reliability of any car company. Read about all the transmission issues people are complaining about across both the Tacoma and Camry line. Toyota has plenty of problems.
@@holdenc3082 If you live in a climate where winter exists pretty much all Toyota frames crumble to rust-colored dust within 10 years. It's been an issue since the 1990s and persists to this day. They'll issue recalls but are either unable or unwilling to fix whatever the heck the underlying issue has been for the past three decades.
Truck looks great. Looking forward to seeing the new Tacoma release and seeing some new comparison videos from you guys.
We cannot wait!
When I saw the thumbnail for this video include the phrase “Tacoma Killer” I thought of the new Tacoma iforce max which makes 326hp & 465ft/lbs tq
Great video, can't wait to see more off roading with crawling, water and mud, and Moab.
Great series with the ZR2 Andre! Thanks for sharing it with us 🤠
Chevy has put some cool tech in their trucks!
Great job by Chevrolet and Andrea! I've NEVER been a fan of any GM product but this new Colorado has me intrigued.
Don’t buy a Chevy they are completely junk wait till you have 40,000 miles then it falls apart
I’m going to try and say the same thing. Good job men.
Andre, you have a great job, and you do it well! Looks like a great truck...
Insane! A Truck For A True Traveler 20th Century. No Matter What Road Chevy On A New Level ZR2
That looked to be so much fun Andre
Congrats GM, a nice truck!
I'm ordering a zr2 next week, and I actually can't wait! I've always been a ford fan, but they hit a homerun with this new generation.
the base model looks much better! Also love the vid! Keep up the good work guys!
You got a great job! I'm jealous.
Why have manufacturers not learned that piano black trim is not a good feature, especially on trucks & SUV?
Other than that, plus a few features buried in the infotainment menu, this is a very cool & good-looking truck!
This is a good goddamn question. That stuff looks good for 9 seconds after the vehicle prep technician pulls off the factory coating - then, scratched and dusty for 200,000 miles. When will these dopey manufacturers figure this out?
Mid size fits in my garage next to the wifes SUV and I can still work in the garage in the winter. Nothing better than not having to clear snow and ice off your truck at 5AM before going to work.
I did the Carretera austral (700 Miles aprox)here in Chile, with my 2008 Colorado, I'm not surprised. However I love the look of the zr2.
9k for desert boss is a joke. But I get it in the name of expensive why not. For that price atleast the Raptor give you the 37 package.
I bet more than half that are the wheels. Beadlock wheels are not cheap. Throw in the bull bar and bed setup, that sounds about right.
Except this doesnt break
@@Garkin58 lol I always love the guys who bring up reliability. So every Raptor breaks ? 🤣🤣 sometimes as humans we just hate and have no reason why.
@@9663mu Ford cope
Can’t wait to see what it does towing at capacity.
Awesome video, awesome that Chevrolet took you on that race.
I love that the wheels have cargo tie-downs.
There's been so many "Tacoma Killers" over the years and yet it's still alive. So there's that.
Never understood the love of driving through a desert. No water, everything is dead or dying, and dirt road with rocks. I'll stay with East Coast adventures. Nice little truck though. You look cramped in it and the bed is so small. I'd buy a Jeep for that stuff. Cool video, Andre.
😂🤣 a “Jeep” tell me you never left the cheese coast with out telling me you never left the cheese coast
Great video Andre and crew!
Great video Andre , you are the best when it comes to trucks!!!
Great looking truck!!!
Love the new truck!!!!
Thank you for watching.
I'm a 5'4" girl and this is my dream vehicle... Counting down the days until I can get myself a 2023 Trail Boss!
I will sell you my 2923 colorado trail boss in velocity blue color. Has it 1 full year and only has 12k mileage on it. I want to upgrade to a zr2 or zr2 bison to get the front locking differential/ bigger tires/ full underbelly bison skid plates/ better off road suspension so I can go go diving on rougher off road trails like hurricane creek located in Madison county,he by hot springs,nd and other rougher trails all over East tennessee,eastern jentucky,West virginia,southwestern va,western nc and northern Georgia mountains. In East Tennessee I can also go to hardcore 4 wheeling place located in Oliver springs,tn that has several hard core black diamond trails that Broncos and jeeps drive on. Show them how good the zr2 bison can go on them aggressive trails.
Can't wait to get my Bright Blue Metallic '23 ZR2!!! Hopefully aroung Memorial day or shortly there after. Getting so excited after watching this video!
Do more tests on this track please. I would love to see a raptor or TRX on this.
You should now take EVERY truck on this trail you test.😊
These trucks are great! I'm adding a work truck 4x4 to my fleet.
Really cool! I appreciate the 4K video 👌
Looks like a great way to review these trucks - Thanks for the review on this and all the Gen 3 Colorados by you and the TFL crew!!! The Targeted Production Week on my new ZR2 should start tomorrow - Finally passing my 2002 Tundra Limited down to my son once my 2023 ZR2 arrives! I hope she lasts as long and is as reliable as my Tundra has been and continues to be!
Did it start production?
@@larrysimth9077 Not sure, My TPW went from April 24 then was pushed to May 15, now is pushed to week of May 22 . . .
@Napom's Rides oh ok, I asked cause I work at the plant and have yet to build a production version of one yet on my shift. I do know this week production has drastically ramped up and that Gm is offering OT for us which is good signs that full production is near.
@@Napomsfreedom hey i thought you would be happy to know that we just started building ZR2's today so hopefully you will get to enjoy yours soon
@@larrysimth9077 Thanks for the Intel!!! I am so stoked to get my new truck!!
GM needs to put the 3.0L Diesel in this truck
Bump!
Great job, Team!
440 miles! Very cool video showing the truck in a real world environment. Amazing performance. I have a 2022 and making me think twice about upgrading. Just not sure I want to part with my v6
Great video. Please tell us - how was the knee room? Looks tight in some video shots, and thinking about bouncy/rocky terrain, are you bashing your knees?
GM has definitely set the Bar for midsized off road trucks! Only thing close to a ZR2 is possibly the gladiator Rubicon or Mojave. Well done GM
The Ranger Raptor will be a low volume specialty truck with a stupid price tag selling above MSRP. It’s not even a competitor to the Colorado ZR2.
The zr2, purpose wise, sits between the Mojave and Rubicon jeep trims. The Mojave is the more desert runner, high speed off road trim. The Rubicon is the rock crawling trim.
The Mojave only has a rear locker, though, and is not even in the same league as the zr2 for what the Mojave was designed to do.
The only edge the Rubicon would have over the zr2 is in very low speed and aggressive rock crawling, which the Rubicon is very good at with its excellent crawl ratio.
So the zr2 will do everything better than the Mojave and will do everything better than the Rubicon in everything but rock crawling.
The ranger raptor will also sit in the exact same spot vs either jeep trim.
That is a pretty sweet truck! Great work on that review.
Love this! Awesome way to show off the Colorado!
Thank you for watching!
@@TFLoffroad made me want to go west to drive in the desert!
Zr2 should come with 35”. I really like the looks of the truck.
The Bison looks to be coming with 35's.
Excellent video. ZR2 looks like a sweet truck. Can't wait for the new Tacoma and how it compares.
@@2011buddylee I hadn't realized they released specifics of the new Tacoma. I'd only seen a few teaser images. Where did you learn about the power output of the new motor? I'd like to read more about it. Thanks.
@@2011buddylee I'm not talking about speculation, which until now, is all there is. Do you have a specific source you can site from Toyota?
Cite
@@2011buddylee You've posted this same thing a couple time, seems like you have a chip on your shoulder regarding Toyota. What's the deal?
@@2011buddylee Fair enough, thanks. I need to make a decision on one of these mid-sizes later this year, the raptor ranger is also going to be interesting but I haven't written off the new Tacoma yet. I also would like to see the Bison version of the colorado, supposed to be revealed May 31.
Great video and truck!! Congrats TFL and GM
Awesome Video! Man, I wish I could do something like this.
i want a zr2 so bad but im gonna have to settle with the trailboss the zr2 is just a bit out of my price range :(
8:39 It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. 😂
Considering years ago people drove that road in old Chevy Impala's you did ok!!
Well worth consideration for my bucket list trip out west thank you, Andre lol your a giggle worthy watch off roading
Impressive so far… interesting MPG, of course this isn’t indicative of any sort of normal DD conditions but 9.7mpg?! Y’all must have been Hoonin out there! Lol
Jealousy abounds…
If only the market price wasn't out of control.... Granted there a lot in this package, it's still a lot of money
Great review! Great job Andre!
I pray that I'll be able to order one of these soon. I am obsessed with this new ZR2!!
You can order now I believe
@@mikemissouri5152 I can, I just need to graduate college first (2 more weeks) I've been searching for a job but no luck yet
@@samerkia good luck. I bought a new 17 ZR2 and it’s been great. Look forward to the new one. The Bison is going to be amazing
looks like 2023 colorado ZR2 can directly use 35X11.5R17 tires based on the gaps shown @27:00.
The ZR2 Bison will have 35s
@@bahamatodd it is different. ZR2 Bison will cost an extra ~10K with many enhancements not necessary for non-extreme offroaders like us, but with just changing the tires, 1K extra will gain what we need. Selling OEM 33" tires will save a few hundred dollars further.
Andre never quite said if he thought the approx $10K difference between the ZR2 and the trailboss is worth it. Watching how much fun he had makes me think the answer is YES, but I'd like to hear his perspective. Having driven both now, would you buy a trailboss over a ZR2 again?
You can buy nice full suspension upgrade, skid plates, winch, lighting, etc for $10k. You will never get the the best value for your money buying it via a trim level upgrade from the manufacturer who is making a healthy profit on it. Also, 95% or more of people will NEVER use a truck off road and simply throw money away on off road trims to make themselves feel better while cruising around town and to the mall.
@@carbonking53 You still wouldn't have a truck as capable as this. The ZR2 is a factory built desert racer like the Raptor. That's one of the few cases where buying the factory truck is the better value, because building a what is essentially a entry prerunner isn't gonna be cheap.
Awesome experience 👏 awesome video Andre!
Man, that looks like a blast! I want to do that with someone else's truck
It's so funny seeing trucks that have the same payload rating as a VW GTI
New offroad trucks are made to perform on tough terrain but with driver and passenger and a case of beer that’s all. Payload is a non issue for lifestylists
Buy a good 76"wide by 12' long trailer is you want to haul things around. I will buy this zr2 so I can go diving all over the southern Appalachian mountain logging and forestry roads in it. My colorado trail boss does a good job but I will be trading it in on a 2024 zr2 bison edition truck to gain the front electronic locking differential with the full underbelly bison steel skid plates and the 315/75r17 35 inch tires and better suspension,.
@@harolddenton6031low payload ratings still impact how much you can haul on a trailer.
I like these but wonder if the Pro 4X would better suit my real world needs and still get me a nice NA V6 (presumably less complex) and still has a rear locker.
Yeah, the V6 is appealing.
And the Frontier has proven reliability. GM and Colorado...not so much.
@@nismo370z4 Well when Nissan basically made the same truck since the Bush administration, one would hope they could at least make it work correctly.
Great job Andre
Love your stuff
Good video, Andre! Makes me want to do this trip..
Couple of things - not clear if front sway bars can be disconnected like Wrangler…also, is airing down automatic or just the measurement?
I believe in a previous Video Andre stated it's just the measurement, not automatic. The truck will honk once you have reached your desired tire pressure.
No, the front anti-sway bar cannot be disconnected.
I really like the new ZR2, styling, interior, and I am warming-up to the 4cyl-Turbo. Well done Chevy. Nice advertising demo.
My question is why is it only Hyundai and Kia can offer a 10yr/100k mile warranty????
Cause only a fool would offer that on a vehicle like this people are gonna beat to hell.
I'm assuming it's because the average amount of people dont keep their vehicle for 10 years. On top of that. The average amount people who keep their vehicles for the average length of time. Is getting smaller as leasing and subscription services are becoming more widely available.
Because they find any/every reason not to honor that warranty.
Because Hyundai had really bad reliability so they were forced to offer the 10 year warranty on the engine and transmission
Because they can't do more Tham mall crawl
That things sounds so good 8:40
Fantastic video and great review. 👍
4 commercials in the first 5 minutes. Really TH-cam?
