Very nice review as always. I’m not a truck guy, but I’ve always liked the Colorado / Canyons. Always felt they were the only competition for the Tacoma. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
@@jmc6000LOL Where,, this Trail Boss 4x4 is all most half less than a full-size 4x4,, the TB is a big truck with everything you need including good looks!
@@brandyn22100 I said usually. If the temperature is modulated properly it will shut off. If you are stopped with the engine off running A/C it eventually starts again.
Very good looking truck, great engine, just a bit dissapointed in a new model that does not come standard with LED headlamps. A base, base, Toyotal Corolla has LED headlamps. Save those haolgens for the work truck/fleet spec owners who want to lower the cost of replacment parts
Nice review. I currently have a 23' Colorado LT. I have had it for about 3 months and just had to have it towed to the dealership. Some sort of software update caused my battery to drain completely dead over night. This same exact thing happened in July. Thankfully I was home and not in the mountains. Dealership said they had about 10 trucks towed in just yesterday for the same issue and will take two weeks to come back. If anyone is looking to purchase this vehicle I would certainly hold off to make sure GM has everything figured out. Personally, I am trading mine in the day I get it back.
That's a convenience feature not a necessity. You can certainly get it, but you need the other fluff features. Trail boss is perfect as is. What you need. If you want more, no one is stopping you from paying for the fluff.
It does look cool, but on the offroad focused package, no 360 cameras? I don't think I heard you mention anything about skid plates either. And halogen headlights too... I love the look of the new colorados' and the infotainment looks great, but for over $40k as tested, it seems like there are a lot of compromises. Especially compared to something like the Frontier pro 4x which has skid plates, LED headlights, and 360 cameras (Terrible resolution, but at least its available.) Maybe a mid cycle refresh will bring these more up to speed. Lots of competition in this segment though which is only good for the consumer.
All those options are available in packages. You just need to select them, and pay more. If go to a higher trim, and again pay more. If you don't care for those creature comforts, the trail boss without those packages is a great choice.
Like the reviews of the vehicles you do but the prices seems ridiculous especially for that truck before Covid that truck was maybe 25k max . Maybe we jumped into another dimension or something 😂
looks a lil better than my 99 sonoma sls i guess. and i dont like the lights being in the infotainment screen. who ever though of that, should rethink it. how do brights work? the same way as always or do i have to fish around the screen for the button?
@@dave_riotsagreed, but we aren't living in the early 2000s anymore. Are you saying he the same about home values, rent, gas prices, wages, food prices, etc? Everything cost more. Do you think car/ truck prices are immune to that?
Can you control items like temp, radio stations, headlights with voice control? I can control temp, radio stations with voice control on my Challenger.
I currently have 2022 CX-30. Starting to feel I need a truck since I do lot of camping/light offroading. So, This or Nissan - Pro 4x ? Is that V6 on Nissan worth the 7k plus? How good will this be for offroading/camping over/under Nissan ? I really like the Nissan but that 48k OTD price seems little bit out of range for me.
The lack of a trip reset button would be enough for me not to buy this thing. That's why I often annoy reviewers to properly show both the infotainment and the gauge cluster information screen.
good review, but I live in a damn country like this where it does´t has opportunities of nothing, where you can´t reach a misery job for buying a truck like that.
I know downsizing and forced induction are the way of the world now, but sheesh... was the powertrain NVH team out to lunch when that motor was approved? It sounds so cheap - like a rattly '90s GM 4 cylinder 😑. The 3.6L V6 was nice, smooth, and sounded so much more refined. The extra power of the turbo 4 is great at least...
“…You could also do that by looking out the front window” 😂😂😂
Haha that was hilarious

Start/ stop usually won’t engage in a GM vehicle if you are running resources that would require engine power like the A/C
Not true. My GM vehicle shuts off even with A/C full blast. It actually turns the A/C down until it starts back up lol. Kinda annoying
@@brandyn22100 I said usually. If the temperature is modulated properly it will shut off. If you are stopped with the engine off running A/C it eventually starts again.
I heard that 2024 Colorados all get the larger screen for the gauge cluster.

Ya. I was literally going to get the WT trim but when i found this out, i had to get out of the dealership
Did they really put reflector halogen headlights on a $41k truck? Also the gauge screen looks overly busy.
Looking out the front window 😂 that’s amazing
Nice. Please review a ZR2 next!
This truck was perfect until the wheel didn't telescope in this trim level. Seems to be a common occurrence still in this class.
Whatever vehicle I purchase needs to have telescoping steering wheel as my wife is 4'11" and it is hard to fit her in many vehicles safely.
Haha. Need vs wants. Pay more money for the fluff package for the z71 or zr2.
One liner of the week. Refering to the following distance sensor. "You can do the same thing by looking out the front window." 😅
It's ridiculous that companies are still not putting telescoping steering wheels in their trucks

Trail boss has skid plates, optional 360 cam. One thing it has over the Nissan is a proper limited slip in the back

360 cams don’t really do all that much. If you’re properly off-roading, you’ll have a spotter with communications.
I'd love to see a lesser power trim since those'll be cheaper. Like an LT base motor.
Been waiting for this! Awesome video!
those prices about to go up with the strikes better buy one now
A few Gremlins in that computer.
If only the Blazer was based on the Colorado as an off road SUV.
Gutted GM is not producing RHD in Thailand again for Australia, love my 2017 Colli BUT have they sorted all the auto shudders in the new model?

Need led lights for headlights
Do you? You want them, don't need them.
I don't understand why everybody complains about the plastic it's been in there since the 80s were you guys been all that's right you weren't born 😮

Really not bad for 37k!
This shouldn't be 37k
@@dave_riots For today’s truck market it’s quite good.

Cruise control isn't standard.

Bring back Pink Mirrors!!
But would you buy it @TheTopher ?

You def want the pro4x over this. Way better engine. Miles better
Went to buy one , it came out to 40k with a car that should have been worth around 15, they said 12, for a trade in
It seems so goofy to have that tiny display as your entire dashboard.. Like Honda is putting larger ones in their new Civics.....
Gas mileage sounds surprisingly below average considering it's a turbo 4.
Ganja is back!
But is Topher going to get the new GoPro? Or switch to the Osmo action 4.
It's not a car, it cannot turn on a dime, it's a truck.
It looks like a Isuzu d-max
has anyone seen the “this the Chevrolet trail bitch” video
Pov night driving
Great drive for a 🚛 truck fast and smooth. Really nice!!!!

Thanks for saying lbft instead of ftlb :)
Nice truck. But not a tacoma killer.
The Tacoma will kill itself
Piano black dash and console trim... in a truck... Good grief.

Are those round vents from the current 86/BRZ?!

Yea that 4cyl is not very good sounding whatsoever
And after 36K Miles it’s ready for the Junkyard
All that plastic and no projector headlights is ridiculous
That is terrible mileage
All that plastic look I would rather buy a 50k truck for half the price used.
It's a no for me. Chevy has lost its motor reliability as of late
I wish automakers would stop putting that vomit yellow on their vehicles. It gives me the ick lol
Lol what a softy
