#chevy #colorado #zr2 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Looks like GM hit it out of the park. Can’t wait to see these on dealer lots for $30K above MSRP.
Unfortunately… Time to wait until they end up on the used car market
Don’t worry, the economy will have crashed by this truck’s release and the markup will only be $10k.
Imagine actually paying over msrp.
Mark it...... UP !!!!!
New Corvette or this????
@@eurobean i wish have you seen the used market its the same as new except someone else has already ragged on the truck
The Colorado ZR2 got better treatment than the Silverado ZR2 in style and appearance in my opinion. The Silverado should have got 35's stock.
The Silverado ZR2 tire size (275/70/18) is annoyingly small. The Colorado ZR2 (285/70/17) is .2" wider and only .4" shorter.
So frustrating. Colorado shows they can make a good looking truck. But then you have the Silverado...
@@nickb5914 it's very frustrating. Makes me wonder if chevy is even paying attention to the wants and needs of their customers 🧐
@@nismomike3182 not sure why chevy is holding back on maximizing the potential of the Silverado ZR2.
Agree
Looks GM took the redesign seriously and added a lot of simple but valuable improvements. Nice truck.
Only negative is less rear seat leg room. 😢
@@MixedGrid guess you’ll have to go full sized if you’ve got people to haul
I just hope that GM starts thinking about more quality in theses vehicles, well any of their vehicles abd stop with their planed obsilessance and stop having these bright ideas about stuff like EFM that do nothing but take a good engine and make it more of a reliability problem, Oh and up the quality of their transmission's too.
@@MixedGrid Less bed length, less Cylinders, prop rod for hood (LOL).
and the 8 speed transmission says "improved" but I don't trust them on that yet. I'll wait a year
Nice! They finally moved the rear shocks out towards the tires now. I really like this truck and it comes with 33's. Job well done on this new Colorado.
No extended cab? No thanks.
I think the midsize segment would sell so well with 33s and a minor lift. I am a 22 Frontier owner, and with a 4" lift and 33s i put on its so much better than the stock. Putting it on out of the gate should definitely lure a lot of folks.
@@auxillianwarghost5123 nobody cares.
Amazing how you guys managed to get this hands-on review on such a brand new truck
Thank you for watching.
If you go to Chevy they have a great video of the trucks driving and you see all 5 models, WT, LT, Z71, Trail Boss, ZR2. The Vice President of Chevrolet speaks as well as engineers and they also cover all this. That’s why they can release this now.
I really think Andrey was immersed and excited about this truck as he almost seemed either nervous or unable to contain his excitement. I liked the previous Colorado, but currently they are the ones to beat from Z71 level and up, definitely and I really like even the WT! Be proud owning any of them, but the ZR2 is the best looking compact to midsize truck,,,,, ever,,,, in my books. I’m one very critical SOB, so for me,, that says a lot.
Well done Andrey and videographer!!! You are two very lucky people!!! I’m jealous,,,, hahaha.
😂😂😂😂😂🇺🇸GOVERNMENT MOTORS GAVE all Chevy owners their secret desire...A TACOMA copy! 😂😂🤣🤣
Hmmmmm. It’s the kind of channel that’s easy to love.
It's called.. give TFL is Government motors secret marketing vendor!
Been waiting for this, thanks for your efforts TFL team. Great work Andre per usual
Couple more questions, does the rear seat fold up like in the Silverado and if so is it 60/40 or not? Also how flat is the rear load floor in the second row? I saw a small hump but things always look slightly different on camera. Also are LEDs going to be available to option on any of the lower trims, or do you have to step up to the Z71 and ZR2 to get those?
Glad to see the availability of rear air vents, adaptive cruise, and a sunroof.
Tacoma owner here, no plans to change to GM, but they did really well with this truck overall. Glad they fixed the shock mount location, it was horrible on the last truck. Love that little tailgate storage, every truck should utilize that!
How do you like your truck? I have a 17 zr2 looking to trade for a tacoma.
@@jaredharbaugh8419 should probably wait for new one
@@jaredharbaugh8419 I love mine. 2018 TRD off road, have some content related to it on my TH-cam channel. It’s not a perfect package, but none of them are. I’m in Colorado at elevation and have no problems with the power for my use.
Looks and specs are good, How about reliability? Engine/ transmission JUNK
@@cessealbeach engine has been great with no issues in previous models being used, transmission issue have been fixed also.... transmission 8speeds were junk but now are proven.
Did they make Andre run laps before shooting the video?
Those interior colors look so much better than the strange white and red we've seen in the other new ZR2s! Very clean, and I'm really excited to get one of these trucks!
The new benchmark in the mid-size segment. GM did a great job on this truck. 👍🏻
@@2011buddylee is that what’s in it ?? Had no idea
LOL. The new Ranger Raptor blows this away in every way
The raptor seems good only if you are doing off road racing or you live in the Australian outback with a lot of unpaved road where you drive at speed.
@@02hreblue30 but it’s a Ford….
Thats a big change for the Colorado..alot of capability and nice design changes inside out.
Nice review Andre. Top Notch reporting TFL team.
Toyota needs a new interior BADLY
And a new power train.
@@SaltyDog69 and transmission
@@pizzahunter808 powertrain includes the transmission
I love the new interior. Were finally seeing these midsize trucks get some love. I can’t wait to see how it compares to the new 2023 ranger. Just waiting for the Tacoma to have a new interior.
yea the 2024 tacoma (if thats the redesign year) will be the one to own in the midsize class. too many question marks on chevy reliability for me to get this one
@@pizzahunter808 agreed. Typically I’m more of a ford or Toyota kinda guy but I’ll have to wait to see if this new Colorado is good on reliability.
@@pizzahunter808 You realize the Tacoma is living off its name at this point and hasn't been any good in years right? Tons of issues, the 2019 was rated a clunker it was so bad. Terrible transmission that won't shift, leaking brake cylinders, rusted frames. Not to mention by far the most uncomfortable midsize truck to sit in with a very crappy, plastic interior.
I've been watching too many of your videos while deciding on what truck I want to buy and haven't subscribed yet. You've more than earned it by now. Thanks for putting out great content clicking subscribe now.
Piano Black interior in an offroad vehicle, GENIUS!
No headlight switch? That can't be right. That would be a safety issue for sure.
The last time I used a headlight switch was for a 1987 Acura Integra. After that my early 90s Grand Am had automatic headlights. And I’ve never touched a headlight switch since then. It’s about time Auto manufacturers blow that switch away and make them 100% automatic. And solve the problem of those idiots driving around at night with no headlights or tail lights
@@jimb2473 yeah, I get it, but there are times when I hit sudden weather conditions while you are driving, like fog, heavy rain, smoke from a wildfire, where you want other vehicles to see you and not have to wait for automatic lights to kick on. I experienced this many times. Under normal circumstances, I get it.
@@jimb2473 Except some of those idiots driving without headlights are doing so because the autos don’t turn on reliability. I want an option to turn them on when I need them. Also should be checking them regularly to make sure they have burned out.
I love the excitement with Andrea. He truly loves his job. He gets out of breath lol. Love the passion.
I like how this looks, and how its appearance ties more into the Silverado line. I've been thinking of it as a Smallverado.
Awesome overall design. Glad they finally fixed the placement of the lower shock mounts.....hopes that will be across the board with the other lesser models.
This is a good looking truck. I like the size for exploration more than a full size truck. Well done.
Finally GM! A good interior! Is a nice looking truck inside and out, well done!
Good looking truck for sure. I had a 2016 Colorado and kept it until 2021. Glad to see them finally updating it not only design wise, but interior wise with updated electronics.
Great review, Andre! Especially liked that you pointed out the front and rear shock setup. Glad to see GM moved the rear shock mounts closer to the wheels. That's a huge difference for me on the heavily rutted trails that I drive on in Northern Michigan, and was one of the reasons that I was not interested in the "old" Colorado. IMO, 33" tires are a perfect set up for driving off- and on-road in this particular vehicle. Would like to know exact running ground clearance, and the approach, departure and breakover angles -- assume that'll be in you next "unembargoed" report (along with prices).
Love the simple multi-position tailgate that allows sliding 4x8 sheets into the bed. But if you look @10:44 the front of the bed will not allow those sheets to slide all the way to the back of the cab wall. Just seems like things would be more secure if you could slide them all the way into the bed. If I ever go back to a truck again it most likely would be a midsize now that they are so big.
I noticed that too and was rather disappointed. Not sure why they made the sides bulge like that there, but it certainly steals 8-10 inches away which is kind of a big deal in this size of bed.
They need to bring back a bigger size bed option. I'm sorry, but 5'2" is just too short, I don't care if you drop the tailgate, it's one of my pet peeves with my half ton crew cab. I have a full 6.5 bed, but have had 8' beds in regular cab and extended cabs in the past, and boy do I miss a full size bed at times. Only option I have now is a 3/4 ton or bigger to get this configuration. I want the best of both worlds, love the crew cab, but don't want to spend the extra $$ for 1.5 ft. Not to mention less mpg for a 3/4 ton vs a half ton.
I ended up getting trd off-road long bed instead of the pro because the pro only has a 5' bed option. It's just not enough truck to have a 5' bed.
Hopefully it's better than my '21, 4x8 sheets don't fit between the wheel tubs. hauled some drywall the other day and was super disappointed.
good looking truck. I love the fronts look. Also a winch ready bumper, thats awesome. but that sports bar on the bed though, im not feeling that.
I love it. I am a current 2020 Colorado zr2 bison owner and I really like my truck. So happy GM changed the interior design and materials. Truck looks great definitely will purchase when available. Thanks Andre and TFL great work as usual.
Props to y'all for getting hands on so quickly! Can't wait until you can test one, hopefully the zr2 or trailboss!
Pretty neat truck. I like the intuitional thinking they've put into some of the redesign
I think they fell short. The bed is now a foot shorter, and there's no longer an extended cab option. And the interior has some serious problems.
@@auxillianwarghost5123 I guess to each their own on those issues. I personally prefer crew cab short bed setups for the utility and the off-road friendly angles. But I'm just one person.
Interior looked like a huge upgrade from the old.
I'd like to see some towing tests on this thing asap! Hopefully the 2.7 can keep up with the last gen Duramax with long-distance towing.
Just considering the torque and power in the 2.7 and the cost of diesel, I think it'll outperform the diesel by a good margin. A new diesel would be great but I have my doubts that they'll make one, sadly.
Great review! Very comprehensive and informative. Great job GM! This truck looks MUCH BETTER and should do well!
Night and day from my 2019. I wanted to get this but couldn’t wait. Ended up getting something different. Looks amazing! Waaaayyyy better all around. It’s everything I wanted in my 19 to have.
Looking really good. Would have been neat if they had used the 3.0 duramax as an engine option here, but it makes more sense to do what they did honestly.
Andre has the greatest job! Getting to engage with the newest trucks!
Thank you for watching!
Andre is the man!.. more in sight when he does reviews..better than Tommy and Roman. 😴😴😴.. Nathan always makes reviews exciting as well..always enjoy the Nathan maneuver..
The original Colorado/Canyon was the first to offer the multiple position tailgate. I had an 09 crew,and used that feature alot.
I really like the exterior design. So much more aggressive than before. Maybe a styling cue or two borrowed from competitors, but that's to be expected. Very interesting on the decision to step away from the V6 option. I get that the power numbers are there now and perceptions on 4 cyls have changed dramatically over the last decade. Kinda curious what the basest base model will be like in terms of standard equipment. especially with the large displays shown in this model.
Overall, very nice walkaround. Looking forward to learning more!
i really hope they add the ability to have a smaller cab and a longer bed in the future. some of us don't need so much cab and need more bed.
As a proud owner of a 2019 Z71 this new 2023 looks amazing, and it's great that TFL gave us the first look at it. I love the refined interior, however my only concern is that now it seems less 'off-roady capable', like where can you put Ram mounts, after market light/power switches etc. Would have been great to have OEM tracks for that stuff like in other newer off-road vehicles.
If it has a similar infotainment system to the Hummer EV it might have digital customizable aux buttons.
This is the dessert boss edition and cost like 56,000
I love the camouflage around the vents and I wish it came with fog lights and I wish it had red stitching on the ZR2 instead of yellow or at least offer and option. I want to buy one asap as soon as they come out.
Looks great! Front end gives off an aggressive 4Runner vibe. With the longer wheel base I was hoping for the back seat to get some extra room. Interesting to see if the 2024 Tacoma grows in size.
Trail boss is all I need. Ordering immediately when they start taking them in Nov.
How do your order?
The Turbo plus option right?
@@inyoface7854 dealer told me the order books open in November
As a 2 time Colorado owner it looks like the powertrain on the LT version is a step backwards.
Another excellent review, thank you. My local Chevy dealer said I can place an order for my ZR2 in November.
I was on the fence between Colorado & Taco. With this reveal, no more fence.
Been looking for a on person review, couldn’t find it since it came out , nice job 👍
Gonna wait until the new Taco and Ranger come out, but super excited that this segment is getting so good. Half-tons have just gotten too damn big and expensive.
Ranger raptor will have 100 more hp than this 😂 can’t wait for it and the taco as well
They’re all too expensive.. and going the wrong direction
These are half tons now. The maverick is the new compact (old Ranger/s-10). The new full size 150/1500 are more capable that 250/350 class of old.
@@freedomisntfree_44 It isn't going to have 100 more hp.
@@chaderic52 probably 108 actually. Ranger raptor will have the same engine as the bronco raptor….
I always look forward to these reviews. TFL does an amazing job.
Great video! I enjoyed every minute. Thank you.
Great review. One of the only to actually look at the mechanical, suspension, shock placement, you know, the stuff that matters. Great coverage of the rest and good camera work.
I love it! It's the only vehicle I would consider trading my 2018 ZR2 for. It looks like they have made the truck I wish mine was. Power slider? If so, it's perfect.......now comes the price😒
The price is what would keep me from trading my 2019 ZR2 in. I can’t even begin to consider trading in a paid off vehicle with under 36k miles on it for a new truck. What I’m really envious of here is the new interior.
Great looking truck! But I'll stick to my 2022 Frontier Pro 4X in army green metallic. I know the ZR2 and Pro 4X aren't fully comparable in off-road capability, but in my eyes the more understated redesign of the Nissan looks better. Not to mention that with nearly 20000km there have been no serious issues and I can get the fuel consumption of the NA 3.8L V6 below 10L/100km easily. Nice to see chevrolet modernizing in an ever popular segment.
Really impressive with how the Colorado has evolved. I was the owner of a first generation Colorado with the 5 cylinder engine. I had it for over 10 years. I now own a Gladiator.
Thanks for the detailed video! Great looking truck! Just wish it had a higher tow rating.
It’s very interesting! I love the design, and higher payload is a big deal to me. 6 ft bed and 1400lbs would be perfect if they can ever pull that off.
You can go with the Z71 or trail Boss. They both have good off road capabilities (trail boss more than the Z71) ans they have higher payload and towing capacity than the ZR2. Plus they both can come with a 5 of 6 foot bed.
The new Colorado’s are only available in the small bed length I believe. No option.
I’d rather a longer bed and extended cab myself. Don’t need a crew cab.
I think that's called a Silverado........
Awesome tailgate. Just wish it didn’t only offer a four cylinder.
Great job guy's really digging this new truck 👍 ready to see one in reality 👏😀
I like the truck, thanks for the tour. I don't think I'll be picking one up, but maybe this will help soften the used market for '18-'22 ZR2s (preferably with the 2.8 Duramax)
Would have loved to see the diesel option stay across the trim levels but oh well
The only plus the diesel had at this point is mpg but even that offsets cause of the difference in fuel price
@@mattneal4309 diesels last long typically especially compared to a direct injected turbo gas engine.
@@tundras4ever552 I've followed the 2.8 for a while. Seen a bunch blow a hole in the block. Emissions suck on them
Looks good. The front reminds me of a 4Runner.
With less reliability
@@breckfreeride meh I’ve seen 4Runners that weren’t as reliable as Toyota fanboys would have people believe. But if people want to continue paying a premium for outdated tech, gutless engines, crappy fuel economy, and uncomfortable interiors it’s their money.
@@4477superman I didn't make a fanboi comment... I think that all cars are overpriced. And yes, the comment was more against the Colorado and the previous gen reliability issues than a pro yoda comment.
Hey guys, I waited 11 weeks, but my Colorado came in for my Birthday, Talk about timing! I'm happy happy happy!
I'm in the market for a new mid size truck, great video. Would love to see a comparison video between this and the ranger raptor. As well as what Ford will release that would be similar to the Chevy Colorado Trail Boss?
I like how it looks and that they didn’t go with the “fist into the wind” front end.
One of the things that would keep me from considering this truck to replace my Toyota is the short bed length. Hopefully a longer bed will become available.
It would be nice if they would make the tailgate cubby lockable and move the jack, jack handle and anything else that is usually stored under the seats to the tailgate cubby. I’d put my ball hitch and tie downs in there also and then I’d have a lot more under seat storage that is out of sight.
I also wish that they hadn’t dropped the diesel option.
Completely agreed! The manufacturers' attitude to this is 180° backasswards: people who want the hardcore offroad version are some of the least likely to want extra backseat space (or even a backseat at all). If I buy a ZR2, that's a weekend toy that I might occasionally use for regular pick-up stuff (getting cement/mulch/wood/whatever from Home Depot, etc.), it's *not* something I'm going to buy if I need a truck that can comfortably fit my whole family of 3 or 5 or whatever I would've spawned - if this is you, you buy a half-ton with four doors, you don't buy a mid-size truck with the super-duper offroad package. Friends? My friends are driving their own vehicles to whatever weekend warrior crap we're off to do in such vehicles.
In something like a ZR2, I want a regular cab with a bit of storage space behind the front seat, NO REAR SEATS, and the most bed space possible.
@@LanguagesWithAndrew You are the minority. These are used as daily drivers much more than pure off road machines. And if they are used off road, it is much more overlanding/camping than crawling/desert running, and overlanding/camping often requires having a good amount of interior volume.
The manufacturers know their audiences and what will make them the most money.
@@LanguagesWithAndrew I disagree. Unless you're just loaded with money, a $40K truck isn't gonna be just a weekend toy. It's going to be the everything vehicle, and most hardcore off-roaders are probably gonna want the extra interior space. Likely going on weekend-week long trips to various places and trails that could days to complete.
Most people just wanting a toy for a Saturday mud bogging are just gonna by a beater. Or just buy something else like a buggy or dirt bike.
I feel like most people that would want a single cab and a long bed are people that actually use their truck purely as a work vehicle.
Anyone else bothered that headlight settings are buried in software? Should be physical buttons in my opinion
agree
Yes, horrible. I’m guessing they want you to set and forget as auto, but almost anything you have to access in the screen while driving is a bad idea IMO
Yes, that and the cargo light ?? Hmmm
For the first time in a long time I was really considering a Chevy truck but this could be a deal breaker with no manual switch. I would say at least offer it as an option.
Who the hell turns on and off head lights? My last 3 vehicles have had auto lights and I can't think of more than 5 times I manually turned them on or off...
I like the shock closer to the wheel in terms of wheel control but see it will require only more negative offset when thinking wheel width.
I will be in the market for a new truck in 2023 and the Colorado has my attention, lots of customer focused improvements! If the second generation 8 speed is reliable I will give this serious consideration. Thanks Andre for another great review and for sharing your insights!
Looks beautiful... Wish they made a SUV out of it... Also, a naturally aspirated V6. I don't trust small engines and turbos yet... Sorry old school people know that lower RPMs last longer and turbos go out at 80k.
In 2006 my dad was able to get his bare bones base model 2007 Toyota Tacoma for $13,000. There aren’t any inexpensive, basic work trucks available anymore. Yeah there’s the ford maverick but I wouldn’t say that’s a real truck. Bed is too tiny for people using their truck for work.
It's a shame. We pass those costs on the the customers.
$13k is the equivalent of $20k today with inflation, so yeah the Maverick is your only option at that price point. But wages have also increased. It's not uncommon to see tradesmen and other 'blue collar' workers (for lack of better terms) making $75k+
@@jakes5530 that is true. In your opinion, if they still made that same spec Tacoma today (regular cab, 4 cylinder, 2wd, 5 speed manual etc.) and sold it for the same price as the base maverick, what would be the better deal?
@@RJIVHALO i think even the base maverick offers a lot more for the money in terms of tech, interior, and mpg. However, I totally understand what youre saying about the 4 ft bed being nearly useless for real work. Can always look at a few year old truck, can find long bed frontiers and colorados for under $20k with lower miles.
I just looked online and found a ‘19 frontier long bed rwd manual with 29,000 miles listed for $19,500 in Virginia.
Sucks you cant get a new truck for that price but…
@@jakes5530 I just bought myself a 2004 Tacoma 4x4 with low miles for 11 grand. Very good condition. I’m hoping it lasts me a long time
Excellent review, thanks!
Hope we get this in Australia. We've had the Holden Colorado for years. This looks great!
The Colorado zr2 is perfect now . Well to me at least
Nice job on the all new Colorado, I would ask if Chevrolet would make an SUV version of the all new Colorado to fight the Toyota 4Runner
Rumors are their brining back the GMC Jimmy as basically just that. Tbh I would just buy the current gen 4R, that's one of the most reliable powertrains you can get.
The 1500 wheel hub was a way for GM to streamline manufacturing costs. They don't have to have separate wheel packages, they can just manufacture a few set of rims and offer them on both the 1500 and the mid sized.
Awsome features , I come from a long history of Gm UAW plant employees and Chevrolet owners love these features well done last but least I now joined at my UAW plant the GM line I build the instrument panel knowing as the dash upper and lower we ship to Waynesville plant for the Colorado and GMC Canyon ! Viewing these vidoes on these trucks is a inspiration! Awesome job by everyone involved ! Awesome trucks thanks GM
Very nice-looking truck!!! If only it came with the V6, I don't really like the idea of a 4cyl turbo in a pickup
Yes, more problems to worry about in the long run. Plus you gotta run premium gas. Not to mention if you’re towing over along period of time up and down mountains like in Northern Pennsylvania where I live it’s gonna smoke that little 4 cylinder. I don’t care how much they say you can tow!
@@jessepoorman2621 I had no idea these engines require premium gas!!! 💸💸💸 An even bigger bummer on the wallet
@@jessepoorman2621 I have a Ranger and you can run 87, they recommend running premium when towing. You will get better performance running premium in a turbo and mine us tuned and I run premium all the time but it's not required on the stock tune.
These truck prices are getting out of hand!!
Inflation doesn't help.
You will own nothing and you will like it
So stop buying them, supply and demand
They aren’t out of hand, they are in the parking lot out past left field. It’s ridiculous
@@kevmichael21 ya....GM's inflation
Love the fact that pick up trucks are starting to be produced, factory ready, with off-road capabilities. It’s the overland alternative to more strict off road vehicles. Hope they keep reasonable pricing options.
Haven't bought a new Chevy since '04. Bought 2 RAMs instead. Not gonna lie, I want this in a ZR2 or Trail Boss version. Love this midsized truck! Can't wait to see the Canyon ATX4 as well.
I love the redesigned exterior and interior. But dropping the CC LB , higher fuel efficiency diesel engine, and not using the 10spd completely turn me off of this truck. This new one is heavier than before and there is no way the turbo 2.7 will match or even get in the ballpark of the diesel's fuel efficiency. And making us pay extra for the mid-tier models to get more horsepower and torque (but not that max) is kind of wack. Sticking with my 16' duramax Canyon. Maybe 4th gen will get the 3.0 i6 duramax.
That diesel didn't get that great of mileage. The 3.0 in a bigger and heavier half ton gets plenty better mpg. The 2.8 also has a terrible torque curve. Peak torque at 2000 rpms with little to nothing before then and drops off very quickly. This 2.7 will run circles around it and get close to the same mileage.
@@prestondeters5093 I get 39.3 MPG on the highway, 27 MPG in the city. Guaranteed that 2.7 won’t come close to that. And the torque curve of the diesel is right in the driving speed - the torque isn’t needed anywhere else. The 2.7 will probably be a decent engine but for towing it won’t - it will be screaming near redline - diesels always tow better. Again, not slamming the redesign, I like it, but the 2.8 is a beast for towing in this little truck.
@@Encourageable I highly doubt you're getting that kind of mileage. The 2.7 will not be screaming either. It has almost more torque, earlier in the rpm range than the diesel.
I wonder if I could use that underbody camera to catch some if they steal my catalytic converters.
Nice truck and great video! Thanks
Glad they revised the 8 speed also. That was one of the few complaints I have with my 2021. Love the concept but the shift points are absolutely terrible and I've definitely had random timed hesitation from first to second gear. Wish I had those headlights too lol
Lots of good competitive upgrades. It seems almost perfect for what it is. Andre, when you slammed the hood it sounded pretty shaky. Thanks for the non-engine sound, non-driving review (that’s a shot at GM, not you). I hope GM is reading the comments because I have a few: 1) if you’re going to add new chimes, maybe you could give us a couple of switchable options because the chime on this preproduction model is far from truck-like (if I want a feminine chime I’ll buy a Ford lol), 2) fire the designers who think gloss black interior bits and gloss black on a bumper is a good idea for a rough-and-tumble off road truck. Give your head(s) a shake!
As someone who's in the paint protection film business, I'm a HUGE fan of all the gloss black pieces these companies are putting on cars these days! Keep it coming lol!
But yeah, insane move to put that on an off road truck
@@tier1detailing the very first place a new vehicle should go is to a PPF professional. I wouldn’t let the dealer “PDI” it.
@@grecocanuck I like your style Greco!
Headlight control is on the center screen? Who the hell made that decision? They should be drawn and quartered
I have a 2020 Zr2 I have not touched the light switch since the day I bought it. why would you need to?
Very nice truck! Thanks TFL!
Do you think in full flex the tires will rub the shock?
Can’t believe Chevy sent one to you guys and not RFRacing. Smh
TFL went to GM
why would they send that idiot? he has 50k subs
RFRacing has only 47K subs, TFL has over a million
Why hasn’t GM solved the halogen light mystery yet? Having turn signals non led is kinda sad considering this new truck will probably cost an insane amount. Rest of the truck is an absolute home run!
Seems to be a few manufacturers that are doing this. The new mid tier F150s are the same too. Even my wifes 22 Outback came with fancy leds with the exception of the turn signals and reverse lightss. Worse yet, leds in the front and rear passenger areas, halogen in the hatch 🤦♂️
Hope to see a version of the high country for the Colorado. It would be nice
Great looking vehicle! Great job on the video!
Until the 6' box version comes, I won't bother. Getting the long box Colorado was totally worth it.
I like it, but after being burned by GM products twice before , NO thank you :(
Same
Looks SO much better, inside and out. Wonder if the GMC twin (Denali) will offer ventilated seats?
Do we know yet when pricing will be available and when we can start reserving? I'm interested in an LT but want to see how it compares in terms of pricing with other mid sized trucks.
Looks like it will be an awesome truck, what is with the gloss black in the center console though? Haven't they learned no one likes that crap? Also, head lights in the center touch screen? That just seems stupid
It’s coming and will have a sweet 4 cylinder again
I almost left the video when he said the headlight controls are through the touchscreen. What an asinine decision to have heated seats and hvac buttons but put headlights into a touchscreen.
@@ErxEestlane That seems like a very GM thing to me. Follow the trends everyone else is doing, but somehow make it worse.
Buy some Vinyl Dark Grey Textured Leather Wrap, Mossy Oak Cammo Wrap or Desert Cammo Wrap and put it on the centre console! Problem solved AND it's tough as nails in terms of weathering and finger touches!

Everyday people questions: price and mpg? I know we are waiting on these. Can the back seat fit car seats? Mid sized trucks are typically referred to as “lifestyle vehicles “ for you TFL reviewers who go for full sized; would you be ok with owning this as your only vehicle/truck?
I had a 2016 Canyon. Absolutely loved that truck.... When it was just my wife and I. We had a kid and car seats barely fit. My wife would have to sit behind me, and the front passenger seat would have to be pushed all the way forward.
I would not recommend any midsize truck for someone who needs to use a rear facing car seat.
I have a 2021 canyon at4 with 2 carseat behind with 2 YO and 4 YO kids, me and my wife are 5'10 and 5'7 so we can go closer with the dash without having problems. We have big carseat for the kids and they are comfortable even at the max position. So if you're not too tall it's realt not a problem🤘
Two points:
1) the 2.7T in the 2WD Silverado is rated at 20 C/23 H/21 combined MPG by the EPA. That's with a heavier truck overall. And TFL has done mileage tests with the 2.7 Silverado, including getting 20 mpg climbing a Colorado mountain and 24.2 mpg highway (in a comparison with a Ram).
2) if a 6'3" Andrey can fit in the back seat reasonably (and not feel like he's sitting too upright), then the back will likely do fine with car seats.
My 18 ZR2 V6 on 33s gets 13mpg city and 15-16 on highway trips. Hope the new powerplant is a lot better. I think the new one is also geared slightly more aggressive which should help.
Would like to see the multiflex tailgate in the Colorado. Another small issue is that they took the ZR2 emblem out of the headrest and I thought that was pretty cool.
How’s the underseat storage, fixed plastic bins again or more options like the Silverado??
310 HP, 430 ft-lbs of torque, and a killer looking exterior and interior. I’ll get this over a Tacoma TRD Pro any day
The 8 speed makes me nervous 😬
The turdbo 4 as the only choice is even more worrisome.
wish it had the crew cab long box 6ft bed. makes the bed more usable but not giving up too much in size compared to getting a full size
Ok as far as the tailgate at half mast, I’ve been doing that to my 2029 Colorado Crew Cab I have now, but also in my last one, a 2016 Ext Cab. By looping the cables over the latch posts on the sides of the bed near the taillights. That also end up at the same level as the wheel wells, that allow a couple 2x4’s to lay across the bed, sitting in molded indents so you can load 4x8 sheets, nice and flat. As I have more than a few times. Once I had 24, 4x8, 5/8” sheets of drywall!
Under the hood is a nice flat surface for the tech to array his tools when he works on that mini motor. The bull bar is hideous.
