  • The Chevy Colorado is all-new for 2023, and it’s a whole lot better than the truck it replaces. It’s got more power, better tech, a way nicer interior than before, and only one body style. Does the new Colorado have what it takes to rise to the top of the midsize truck segment? We’ll have to wait until we get one in for a full test in the near future, but for now, join Edmunds’ Brian Wong for our first drive of the all-new 2023 Chevy Colorado!

    The new Colorado hits the mark in many ways, but we're hoping that midsize trucks start to offer more powertrain diversity soon. Would you be interested in an electric midsize truck? Let us know in the comments!

      @foilist1 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not an electric truck. The internal combustion is a very mature technology and it works very well. I can rev the engine and get more power without worrying that as the charge in electric gets low, I can’t get full power. With an IC engine, if I have only one galleon of gasoline left or even half a galleon I can drive the truck at full power til gasoline is used up.

      That's why I'm aiming to get the Trailboss. It comes with everything that I want for around 45k. Sure it may not have the nice interior like the Z71. But with 430 lb-ft of tq from the optional tune and 7700 lbs of towing it should be a good truck. A comparable Z71 is about 8k more than the Trailboss that I built.

    • @elche1976
      @elche1976 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @kevin12697 the problem is, people expect to get the nicest things on the lower trim models, and still pay the lower trim model prices. If those people trying to barbie their car up for comfort want to do it.... fine, let them. But pay those higher prices. Stop complaining about how everything you want should come standard. That's now how it works.

      Agreed! I love that the Tacoma is super reliable and has a great resale value... But that's kind of where the hype ends. It's way down on power, even the top TRD PRO was outperformed offroad by the old model Colorado ZR2, it doesn't have best in class towing, the interior is straight out of 2006, and the stupid transmission is always searching for a fucking gear. My father has one he purchased for a work truck (we co-own a machine and fab shop together) and I have used it a handful of times to run and get things and it has terrible ride quality and the interior sucks to be in, seats are uncomfortable, and I just don't like it. The ONLY reasons he purchased it was because how reliable they are and the good resale value.

    This new Colorado looks awesome, although I disagree with the criticism of the outgoing model... it easily had the best interior of anything in the midsize segment, in both space and comfort, as well as overall mix of utility and daily driver quality. Yes, the tech did well with a refresh on the '23, but for the majority of time it was on the market, the tech in the previous generation was very adequate. I just picked up a '23 Sierra loaded to the gills, but I did it for the extra space due to growing family, my '17 Colorado has been a fantastic truck and I would still drive it if I could afford to keep both.

      @@UltraSS-nj8kd Not everyone wants to go offroad regularly. I have a leveling kit on my 22 Silverado 2500 just so I can get a slightly larger tire. I only go offroad when I am hunting but having slightly better clearance and a slightly larger all terrain tire makes it easier to get into some of the places we go hunting. I have a Polaris RZR and a Honda Talon if I want to go into really gnarly places, I'm not taking my $70,000 truck bouncing around on the trails. The leveling kit also comes in handy when I am plowing snow, living where we get 12ft-14ft of snow every year i tend to have to push the snowbanks back further. Snow gets up under your truck as the plow rides up a snow bank and you can easily get stuck. Having a little more clearance and a larger studded snow tire means I'll spend less time winching myself out of a snowbank or shoveling endlessly. Point is, there's many reasons to want a truck to be slightly higher. Also, people like what they like so even if it is only for the "look" then who cares.

      The last gen didn't sell well. GM got out of the global market for the most part. They shut down the holden plants in Australia and the Rayong Assembly plant in thailand. Mary Barra ceo of GM (scary Mary) decided those markets were not profitable enough. Overseas its more about the navara, Hilux and Ranger. The only plant that will make the new Colorado is the Wentzvill plant in Missouri USA. And they will have trouble keeping up with demand for the domestic market. They will ship to Canada but beyond that I have doubts.

      I think the EPA just released the official numbers. The detuned version gets 20mpg city, 25mpg highway. 22 combined. They did not test the higher output versions, just the base model. I guess we'll see when they release the EPA numbers for the Canyon as it only comes with the high output engine. But to also address your point on looking at the numbers reported on the dash, those numbers are not always accurate. This is also a pre-production model that many people have been test driving. Many automotive journalists will be driving it a bit sportier and not getting accurate numbers. There is also the possibility that he's not allowed to report the numbers on the dash at the time they were filming this as the EPA numbers had not yet been officially released.

    The truck is very nice looking... The engine and transmission do have some issues. Engine problems range from lifter and cam problems to oil leak and transmission issue.... The problems with the engine seen to be the result of the AFM (active fuel management) system. Which raises another question, why does GM feel it necessary to put AFM and cylinder deactivation on a 4 cylinder engine??? Especially when it's powering a truck. The 8 speed transmission is clunky when downshifting at times and has a history of early failures. The lifter and cam issues have been around for a while and GM seems unwilling or unable to completely fix the problem....

    Until GM can actually show how the 8-speed transmission is actually "better" in this gen, no way I'd consider one of these. And with Ford having recall hell, probably won't consider the next gen Ranger either. Frontier maybe? Been putting off truck shopping for a year and a half, might as well put it off longer.

      According to the Engineers, the 8 speed has been revamped to address the past issues. They also said the 2.7 turbo was designed by diesel engineers and is basically a diesel engine that runs on gasoline, but none of that matters if you are hellbent on giving your money to a foreign companies economic economy.

      The 2.7 turbo seems pretty overbuilt. The 8 speed has also been reworked but I'm still hearing it has issues in the silverado. Especially that 1st - 2nd gear hard shifts. And yeah, this gets that same 8 speed. You want something that will last buy a older frontier or tacoma with a port injected motor and the 5 speed. Or a 4 runner which still has the 4 liter and 5 speed. But hurry because that will also be updated soon. Tundra and Sequoia have already been done over with turbos and a ton of sensors, plastics etc... They already having issues. 4 runner is the last of the old school made in Japan bad asses. Also if you have the bucks you can't go wrong with the GX 460 lexus which is basically a landcruiser prado except with the port injected 4.6 V8.

    Looks really good, but it was concerning how much did he talk about tech. Nothing wrong with tech, but at the end of the day it's a truck, and I care more about payload, towing, and comfort. Btw, he forgot to mention the Gladiator, the Santa Cruz, the Maverick, and the upcoming Bronco truck.

    • @TheFlooringInspector82
      @TheFlooringInspector82 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Santa Cruz and maverick are in different segments than this. The Gladiator should have been mentioned but really it does not offer anything in comparison to the new Colorado. The Gladiator is longer, but manages to not have a larger bed. It also has less payload, less towing in most trims, and less fuel economy with the gas engine and only SLIGHTLY better with the diesel engine. The Gladiator has better head room but lacks leg room and shoulder room in comparison. Yes you can look at the hyundai or maverick when shopping but let's be real they do not offer the same in the truck segment that the Colorado, Tacoma, Gladiator, Ranger, and Frontier do. Nothing wrong with the Santa Cruz or Maverick, they work well for those who need an SUV with a little truck bed. But it's a completely different segment.

    The new Colorado easily bests the others as they are pretty old now. The tech and features of the new Colorado are very good, but it seems they come at too high a cost for what you get. The proposed prices for these mid size trucks make one have to think of getting a Silverado Custom instead.

    • @kx8960
      @kx8960 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well, the price thing may be an issue for some and drive them to the Silverado, but, I don't want or need a full-sized truck, and it doesn't fit well in my garage or on tight trails or even in driving in tight parking lots. So, midsize trucks make a lot more sense for a lot of us. Plus, with 310hp and 430lb-ft of torque, it should perform well. I'll be getting a ZR2 in red.

    Is the new Chevy Colorado a Midsize Truck? I haven't seen one in person, but these trucks look a lot bigger than the outgoing Colorado. I looked at GM's spec sheet and indeed this 2023 Colorado is a full 10" wider than the outgoing version and only 4"ish inches shy of the width of the Silverado. Weight is up around 700lbs from the previous version on the Z71 spec and encroaching on Silverado territory. Yet magically none of the useful dimensions like interior shoulder room have changed. For those of us looking to navigate narrow trails wider is not better. Is this really what customers told GM they wanted? It seems like GM is competing more with their Silverado Trail Boss and ZR2 than they are with the Toyota Tacoma or Gladiator. I like the styling of this new Colorado but personally I'm a hard pass on the package....hoping that Toyota stays true to the Midsize form factor in their refresh due out next year.

The 2023 GMC Canyons, Trail Boss and ZR2 are 3" wider than the 2022s. The 2023 Canyons and Colorado Trail Boss have a factory 2" lift and the ZR2 and AT4X both have a factory 3" lift

      The New Colorado is half and inch longer than the Tacoma, half an inch wider than the tacoma, and the Z71 is 135 pounds heavier than the Tacoma Limited. Now if we want to get into interior dimensions sure, lets do it. The Colorado has almost the same or slightly better on interior dimensions than the current model Tacoma. Hip room is slightly less admittedly, but head room and leg room is more.
      Now as far as the new Colorado Z71 in comparison to the Gladiator Overland the Colorado weighs almost the exact same, The Colorado is 1 inch wider, the Colorado is 5 inches shorter in length. The interior room the Gladiator gets a little more headroom than the Colorado but the Gladiator has less shoulder and leg room (by quite a bit).
      The point is, the new Colorado is actually right in line with the market segment on dimensions and weight.
