Love it! Great Video! So tempted to buy one after driving it but just don’t think I can give up my 21 Diesel ZR2. Fuel mileage is phenomenal and just paid $3.04 gal for diesel where I live

I just recently test drove a 2024 ZR2 Bison. My opinion was Chevrolet knocked it out of the park. I loved it! With 1-2 exceptions. First I will say I had a 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro that I drove 63k. Did not like the drivetrain at all even tuned and leg room at 6’2” was terrible. Fuel milage in MO and KS in wind and hills was terrible. So i traded it for a 21 Colorado ZR2 diesel. So far I love it. Have had it a little over a year with 27k. Fuel mileage is awesome, leg room awesome. Power is awesome. Did GDE tune, AEV skids, 275/70/17 tires on Crestone wheels and I get 22mpg in town and 26-29mpg highway. BEST stock was 32mpg on a 500 mike trip from Dallas to KC MO. Now for the 1-2 exceptions. The price and the fuel mileage. 64k with high interest rates is just crazy and the fuel mileage of this turbo 4 is terrible. If i were buying a new truck. It would definitely be the new Bison or ZR2. It’s a phenomenal vehicle. If they brought the diesel version they are selling in Brazil Id buy one NOW. If I didn’t need the fuel economy and the economy was pre covid Id be buying the gas version. If I had a gas Colorado Id probably upgrade if the pricing were better but I could go ZR2 to alleviate the price point. I was very impressed with the new Bison. Fit and finish, ride quality leg room power etc etc was really really good. Couldn’t believe it til I drove it.

All very good points. Yeah I love the new Bison compared to the new crop of trucks. But I agree the prices are crazy high. Frankly I couldn't afford any of these like I did in 2022 when I got my personal Tacoma. Our buddy Nate did just get a new Colorado Bison so videos about it are coming!

@@JasonExplainsThings Keep up the good work. Love the channel. And I really appreciated your personal post. I personally Haven’t been able to hit the off road scene for a long time as my wife and I have a special needs daughter who is now 23. But i do enjoy watching you guys adventures as well as others. Im still building on vehicles 😅 just don’t get to get them out on the trail too much (more daily driven) like I did when my wife and I were younger before our 2nd daughter was born. We would go to Colorado a lot , and took our first daughter in a Jeep Cherokee to the country of Mexico when she was 2 with one of AEV Daves first products the Cherokee swing out tire carrier. But life throws curve balls once in a while and just like you, knowing God is in control is key. Great job you guys!!!

Great video for those of us considering bed caps. Thanks. Question: have you or do you know of anyone that has their dogs in the back with the soft topper? My considerations are wind noise, heat, air flow and keeping them in especially with the back window.

I too had been gifted tools over the years. I appreciate videos like these for ideas on rounding out my selection. For 1/2 drive I went impact. Getting "consumables" with a convenient warranty is such great advice. I like how I can indulge in one area and still maintain a level of quality. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy a new set of sockets. It's an enjoyable pursuit

I disagree with you on a few points. Get a 1/2" drive socket set and a 1/4" set. That will let you do most everything. 3/8" is great, it's my go to, but the idea is what you need to have to get started. Get 3/8" when you can. Some people say to just get impact sockets, but that can bite you. Thin wall impacts aren't bad, but the thick walled ones don't fit everywhere, like recessed openings or tight clearance areas. Get pry bars from Walmart, The Hyper Tough ones that have the cap on them. They are USA made by Wilde and Walmart's price is good. The also have 5 sizes. Power tools are great, but aren't necessary at first. Don't get me wrong, I have many air and cordless tools. When that time comes that you can justify the need, instead of spending $300 on a Milwaukee or Dewalt cordless impact, get a decent compressor and get air tools when it's time for power tools. You can get cordless later. The main reason I say this is price, air tools are cheaper, air guns, and the one tool that will save your life and doesn't come cordless, the air hammer/chisel. Also once you have air, you can get an air impact at Harbor Freight that is as powerful as that $300 cordless for under $100. Remember that it takes time to build a tool collection, I've been at this 40 years, started in a truck garage, I have a lot of really handy stuff but get basics to start and build from there.
@JasonExplainsThings
@JasonExplainsThings 2 күн бұрын
Yeah I’d disagree on the sockets. As I started I pretty much only used 3/8 for years… then slowly got 1/2 and 1/4. But there’s no wrong answer i guess.

Well, every vehicle is different. My advice is just to get tool kits or sets that don’t skip sizes so you aren’t surprised that you’re missing something. Honestly Icon stuff at Harbor Freight is very nice for the price. Craftsman and Tekton are also pretty good.

Agree with most of your mods, excellent job. Did not mention mpgs. I installed Goodyear Duratracs and lost 5mpgs. Your skid plate mods you did not protect the cross-over pipe which get destroyed in offroading. Got rid of my Pedal Commander, if used aggressively will cause "Limp Mode". Did some simple engine mods which helped hp and drivability in my Taco. Keep us updated with any new mods. thanks for the video.

Not a bad video, basically what I do with two differences. 1) Shop vac, connect to the inlet pull vacuum while you take off the the drain plug, you don't get any oil out till you shut off the vacuum. Lazy way to keep clean. 2) Do you not have grease joints on the Drive shafts anymore? I have a 2nd gen Tacoma and I lube them up every time I change the oil. I also do 5k miles or 6 months which ever comes first (use to be 3 months or 5k miles, but I don't drive near as much with my new job).
