Im kinda impressed how well equipped the truck even tho is the work truck version...
Right? Our work truck (05 sierra) doesn't even have a cassette player, vinyl seats, V6, not even adjustable mirror (have to press on the mirrors to adjust. Couldn't believe how basic this regular cab short box truck was. Manual roll down windows, AM FM, radio. 4 speakers, bench seat, 4x2. I'm surprised it has hub caps. But it works, and the surprise I found while doing a diff service is it has a limited slip differential. Only 80k km, so it should last for years to come. Live in Vancouver where they don't salt the roads, rust free.
Thanks to federal mandates. I hate that i can't get a truck or car without a touchscreen stereo anymore.
Pretty please do more base model/regular cars like this.. especially good condition regular cars from the 90's-2000's. Think like Regular Car Reviews.. thanks in advance 😁
Tired of the sh"tty lame supercars.
Yess
with vehicles like this where you have a $30k+ difference from bottom trim vs top trim, it would be cool to see both in one video
I think this Ted fellow Respects His Adsense Monetization too much to go R-Rated like RCR
this is a brilliant little truck. it’s got everything you could possibly need for a daily, as well as a really great bed and interior
I like the reviews of normal everyday cars. It gives me more insight into the market at a whole. Keep up the good work!
The moment you pointed out the hood, I thought, "this looks like a Camaro as viewed from the driver's seat!" Then you said the exact same thing and I did a little heart emote.
This is definitely a trim level worth considering for my needs. I don't tow much and I certainly don't need any upgraded trim. I would happily purchase this and possibly upgrade the rims with something aftermarket.
Bro the Colorado looks like a regular Silverado from 2000s in size and that’s just crazy 😂
With the upgraded engine it basically is an old full size truck. 7700 pound towing capacity and more power than a 2000s 1500. Kinda nice for those who want that kind of truck without getting an old used one
just a bit narrower not as wide.
It’s a foot shorter than my old 2008 Dodge Ram. 5ft vs 6.4ft bed. And it’s about 10 inches of less shoulder room inside but in some areas it’s actually bigger! And it weighs less as well 4270 vs 4889lbs. Same towing capacity 3500 vs 3450. Payload is a little down 1487 vs 1710. But power is up 210 vs 237 and torque is up 242 vs 259. I would say it’s basically even maybe a little bit better since it’s lighter.
I’m the guy that all ways base the base truck,so my wife of 35 years can have the heated ,leather etc suv! My 02 Silverado ext cab 5.3 liter is a WT, I bought it new and it’s still like new, I take very good care of my vehicles! I bought a new 2022 Toyota SR5 2 wheel drive WT, I payed it off and bought something a little more upgraded to me, I traded my Tacoma off on a new Colorado Trail Boss, they gave me 30k for my Tacoma I payed 26,500 new,only put 2900 miles on it, my Trail Boss is the best truck I’ve ever owned and first 4x4,,,, their is one thing you could do with that 4x4 WT and that’s put some aggressive off road tires on those steel wheels it would look awesome, I put more aggressive off road tires on my TB and it looks perfect, I’ll have my new truck payed in full by December! I can’t wait, and it sits in the garage outta the Arizona sun and it’s not my daily so I won’t be forced to put thousands of miles on it every year!
I’ve had my WT for 3 months. And I love it
- the current Colorado is only available as a crew cab w/ the short bed so if like me you'd want a longer length bed and also don't need the extra seating capacity, you're simply outta luck and forced to go up to a Silverado for $10k more (new).. I do though like the simple, utilitarian vibe of it a lot though.
I was gonna say, this is no work truck. It has back seats, what gives!
@@lexisnep525 i have a 2019 crew cab long box colorado . back seats are nice for tools and the 6 foot 2 inch box holds a stanard 6 foot ladder nice
this is probably the nicest work truck ive ever seen
I like that kind of work truck Wow
This is the way a truck should be! We need more base in our lives!
I love watching your videos man! Hopefully in the future I run into you and talk about cars and whatnot. Im just waiting for a time i can go back to Cali since i'm around that area.
5:41 and that beatup tacoma will last 10 more years after the new Colorado has died 😂
I bet that engine would be great in a miata
Yes
260lb/ft of torque it would rip. I have this truck and she gets up and moves.
Thanks for this review. Just what I was looking for.
It's better than small trucks used to be 20+ years ago. My stepdad had a 91 Sonoma. It was the cheapest built and smallest truck.
It was quite satisfying to not hear a start up chime for once!
He probably had his seatbelt on before startup
I can't imagine that chevy will not lose a ton of fleet/commercial sales by not offering an extended cab 6.5 ft bed version.
Bed is like a shoebox.
Man what’s with all the heat-seeking RX-350s in this vid?! 6:55 and 11:15 😂
My mom and dad always had like trucks and vans and me being a female I actually enjoyed sitting big and high in suvs and trucks it just felt right being in it and now that I’m grown suvs and trucks is like something I’ll always call my favorite I don’t like sitting low regular cars I like to see what’s in front of me and seeing over what’s in front of me
I would sacrifice room in the quad cab for a longer truck bed.
Sounds a lot like my 06 Colorado
“But it’s not cheap” you can say that again. Absolutely insane price for a base model, mid sized truck. Great price for a mid-to-high spec model, but this is not that.
at least for a base model's standards it's decently optioned :/
@@zacharyreynolds4303 it’s not base model priced tho
@@gothops154 is $32k good enough for you for this truck??
The best part about this, you can pay your Chevy dealer something like $500 and get the full 310hp/430tq of the ZR2 spec engine as it's just a tune, mechanically all 3 engine options are identical. I also noticed there is oil pressure and transmission temperature gauges in the instrument screen, that is a nice addition for a mid-size truck. This base model engine tune seemed slower than a Tacoma (it is less powerful than a Tacoma which is 278hp/265tq), obviously it will be downright quick if you get the dealer tune. Not much drama at full throttle though, whereas the Tacoma sounds like it's blasting down the back straight of a racetrack when you get on it haha.
You can’t get the dealer tune with the lowest output engine, only with the 390 torque version. There are mechanical differences between the lowest spec engine and the upgraded version
Dawson is correct. The WT uses the L2R engine which lacks some of the the more intense oiling found in the L3B used across the rest of the lineup. No tune available
@@dawsongranger4940 Ahh, a lot of articles are being misleading then
low spec engine is not mechanicaly 100 percent the same as the high spect engine.
wow, a work truck that’s got a functional screen, and not just radio and backup cam
I see these all the time at Home Depot, as I work at one part time.
"I love a stripper" -Tedward, 2023
Standing by it
Nice interior because it doesn't look like it was chopped from huge 18-wheel truck 👍💪
Beautiful cars man 💪
A work truck is a real truck.
This truck is a flashback for me to my child and teen years. All trucks were utilitarian. I am visualizing C-10s, F-150s and more. My first car was almost a 1977 Dodge panel van in about 1990. It had a radio and that was about it. It got you there with lots of stuff and that was the job-period. The phrase was "Church on Sunday and Market on Monday."
Though the interior with Car Play etc is tech that would never have been seen in my old panel van.
Imagine asking me to part ways with the combustion engine with that beautiful noise from the engine for an electric vehicle the future is not looking bright 😂
No one is asking/forcing you to part ways with ICE. Bruh you folk aren't too bright.
These base stripped trucks prove that they COULD be simpler but aren’t simply because it would cost the manufacturer more to tool up with parts they no longer use. Roll up windows, a simple Bluetooth/AUX radio etc. Hell, even a single cab long bed. It’s cheaper to use the current parts bin filled with touchscreens, power features, cloth interiors, and a crew cab body. A real cheap base work truck would be cheap for the buyer, but the manufacturer will lose money on each one sold at ~$20k+. It sucks but they aren’t in it to lose.
It's only going to get worse, manufacturers are cutting choices to maximize profit and to avoid supply shortages. Ford just announced they will be doing the same.
The cargo box is 5', but how long is it when the tailgate is lowered. Can I fit a couple of mountain bikes inside with the tailgate down?
Definitely, the bed is pretty deep, almost 20" deep so with the tail gate down the length would be almost 7 feet.
I would not recommend or consider this trim since GM neutered the engine with the lower output. Remember, the GMC canyon only gets the 310hp and 430 torque version in all trims.
I recognize those steets Camino del Mar and then all the way to del Mar fair ground
6:57 is my life in Northern Metro Atlanta...
I got this same truck with same engine but mine didn’t come with the center console like that. It has the floor one. Other than that, I love the truck!
FYI power driver seat is not standard. Have to buy the wt 2 package around $1000.
Yup I mention that in the video
I miss the days when you could get a 5.3 v8 in the colarado
I have a 2009 Canyon with the 5.3. It would be cool to see that, and for GM to give more enthusiasm to possibly the last generation of ICE before the inevitable EV trucks. Some sort of final sendoff for enthusiasts to relish in the deep history of the LS-series, etc. But the market doesn't really care about that I guess. Only thing is, these new trucks don't really give off a raw, high-performance vibe - maybe it's the techy CUV-esque interior - but I'm sure they could do something to pull off a coherent look.
Personally - the new trucks are bigger than the GMT355 and won't fit in my garage, so I'll keep my 12 MPG city 😬 and X-pipe exhaust
i heard they can do a reprogram if you need more power.
Yes but Not on the WT. only on the L3B engines
7:45 so does this mean that you cant "upgrade" from the low engine to the higher engine for towing? just for more torque.
you filmed this right near my place lol
U might see a bunch of those with usic lettering
i love these modern trucks like this and the maveric with these cool steelies... they look so good and should be used more, maybe in black... but i think the problem with modern base models is because all of these cars are luxurious mammoths filled with safety and features so getting base models means you're paying the most amount of money for the least amount of modern car.
i mean, i don't know about you guys but this doesn't LOOK like a base model in anything besides the steelies and plastic front fascia, everything else is much more refined
I love Torrey Pines
What kind of mpg did you get on your drive? I have a Silverado with a Duramax. I Like it . Except the payment on a $59 k truck. Be nice to save $ and need a truck for commute/ fishing/mountain biking in New Hampshire mountains.
Better than EV plus you can hear the vroom noise
Mines onky has 3400 miles and already majing a howling noise after hitting past 45mph
Looks like a cool fleet truck but dang.....the cheap plastics are hard to look at.
Nice
all i want is a base model. but i need 4wd for the snow
How much bigger is the colorado compared to the ford maverick
The Colorado is similar to the ranger in size. The maverick is smaller and lower to the ground.
What is the gauge in the top left of the dash that was running well over half on the temp gauge the entire time?
beautiful truck...is that California?
Aye I’ve never been this early on a video 😅
Tedward please get your hands on a Mercedes 190 2.5 cosworth !
The base Toyota Tacoma now comes with CarPlay.
That way you don't have to pay extra for Nav.
about time. does it have android auto also >?
Yall remember the s10 and Sonoma
Does it come standard with cruise and push button?
Do they have 4wd low on these also?
San Diego ;)
where was this filmed at? looks nice out there
Southern California just north of San Diego
I would buy this and just change the tires. 31k? I’m in
Hey Ted could you do a review on the new opel/vauxhall corsa?
How much ride height does the base model have
Im from Italy,I'll be in L.A. November 27th and I'd like to rent it from Alamo..
Hey quick question does the auto start stop stay off when the vehicle ignition is turned off and then turned back on?
No. You have to turn it off every time. You get used to it
there's a setting to turn it all the way off in most cars, also 'on' but not cranked, it wont crank
Does this version have a acceptable performance on snow/sand? I think this one is a 2wd and I'm afraid to see a heavy vehicle stacked in the snow in my first winter hehe
This one is a 4x4 variant so it probably does have decent performance in snow and sand. Just get terrain specific tires for your needs and you should be good to go. You can always add some sand bags in the bed to have more traction in 2WD.
@@bwofficial1776 thanks
3:33
I even have a Colorado Trail Boss on order and I just can't get over the cost cutting GM does to vehicles instead of just spending a few hundred extra to make the vehicles comfortable to drive. No telescoping wheel, no center arm rest in the rear, halogen lights. When you're talking $45k for a vehicle - it's really not acceptable and it makes GM vehicles a step below the competition.
Exterior would make you think the interior is very basic
no 4wd lo range?
Is 4X4 base?
What area are you in
Did u order it thru the dealership?
This was a press launch. I ordered nothing
Crazy that it's a "work truck"...with a mandatory short bed and giant cab. Most people using this for work will be driving alone or with one other person max and need the extra bed space. The work truck model should automatically be a long bed version IMO. Let every other trim level be crew cab & short bed. Very odd that Chevy of all companies screwed this up.
Couldn't agree more Tim
I'm keeping my base xcab 2016 Canyon for that reason. I need the long bed.
Can't even haul a weed eater without resting it on the tailgate.
This is a 4 cylinder?
Yes turbo 4 cyl
I wish they would put a real gauge in there instead of making a screen that looks like a kindle tablet they've just slammed in there as a complete and utter afterthought. Dreadful
its sad that this couldnt be an actual work truck with legit bare-bones features. if it cost like 5k less it would be cool, but at its current price its only $1000 cheaper than a 4wd v6 tacoma
Home Depot rental truck. Lol.
This is nicer than my Tacoma yet I wouldn’t buy one for the world
😂😂😂
I got rid of my 22 tacoma offroad for a 22 gmc canyon. What a big mistake that was. Getting another tacoma.
Auto start/stop & lane assist is garbage! Thankfully you can turn them off when driving!
Auto start stop just wears the engine down faster anyways since most of the wear and tear is on startup. Not worth the extra few MPGs. Lane keep assist is dumb too. We need to learn to drive, not have a computer do it for us.
slow af, what is wrong with chevy not putting more power into it, who cares right. it can merge on highways, it wont be dangerously slow. I dont think they would go more than 65 or 70 in this
WT or not, I HATE DOOR DINGS, this truck still cost 30 something k I would be pissed!
Too bad they penalize us that want to tow, but don’t want frills. Looks like Nissan will get my money.
Work truck and short bed shouldn't be in the same sentence...
Not a functional truck, load height is too tall for ease of sliding in sheet goods and equipment. Bed is too short for any sizable items you would need a truck to haul, no options for longer bed. Over priced for a basic truck. Gearshift on floor takes up too much space, leave it on column. Leave the non-mandated safety nanny devices off, it just over complicates things and increases costs. A step backwards GM.... plus it's ugly.
I almost bought it, but walked away, for 35k, you don't get LED lights and it didn't have 4x4. Too much for what it is.
It’s kinda jarring to see a pickup truck that isn’t flamboyantly flapping maga flags in the wind
refreshing change isn’t it?
What kind of psyop is this. 99.999% of pick up trucks don’t fly any flags maga or otherwise
It's a review of a brand new truck. Like you expected a reviewer to do this? What moronic comments.
No kidding. I once saw a window sticker that read:
TRUMP 2024
F-- YOUR FEELINGS
Only it wasn’t censored
@@Ben-jz3mt sounds like you need something to help thicken your skin.
God I hope Toyota doesn't butcher the Tacoma like GM did with this. Only one bed size and I'm only 3500lbs towing? Better off with a Ridgeline that won't blow a head gasket like the 2.7's like to do.
You're pushing $40k even with this base vehicle.
And still stuck with a pointless short bed. Not like you can fit a "crew" into that tiny cramped crew cab.
@ Garth Goldberg no, no you're not. With the base engine, you're lower 30s. Have you even played around with the configuration online? Just looked and this one is at 33k.

this is not what people want
I wish car companies would bring back "miserable" trucks, as you say. I hate these overpriced trucks.
WORK TRUCK SHOULDNT HAVE A CENTER CONSOLE. I NEED TO MOUNT MY RADIOS FOR WORK COMMS.
its a real shame that true base model vehicles no longer exist. work trucks should be stripped to the bone, this and every other modern car has way too much junk.
Buy a Toyota instead. It’ll last longer
A turbo 4 cylinder in a fckn truck..smh all about EPA numbers..cars are a joke nowadays
These trucks designs are getting worse and worse 🤡🤦♂️
