I got a 2021 Crew cab Colorado and love it...

[@dwightadas5230]

Good job! Thank you.

[@oisiaa]

I can't wait to see a MAXED OUT towing test up the Ike!!! Your load had better be the full 7,000lbs...or else. :) I'd also like to see the 4 cylinder towing its max load, just for the fun of it!

[@bobbymcgehe]

I received mine today, what a sweet truck, 25K!

[@brianwilson3855]

2015 3.6 z71 best transmission cooler to install

[@Bryan1483]

Is it just me or does the mechanical side of this vehicle look more appealing than the outside?

[@larrylooney4495]

Nope its appealing to me

[@jjsgarage3634]

Lot of these 4x4 trucks now have the drivers lean-Reason? Let see. Washer fluid tank…Left front. Battery…left front. Driver…left middle. Transfer case and front driver shaft…left of center middle. Gas tank rear…left of center. Spare tire… left of center. I own one and it’s been a great otherwise, truck now at 40k

[@03SilverMustangGT]

Fuel economy is dog shit. FULL SIZE Dodge Ram 1500 v6 is rated at 25 mpg highway...... The 4 cylinder in the Colorado is rated at 27 mpg highway..... One of the biggest reasons to get a small truck is for the fuel economy. Chevy should have been able to hit 30 with this truck.

[@03SilverMustangGT]

Well the diesel better be more than a full size Ram 1500 diesel at 29 mpg.... That's all I gota say lol A gaser Ram 1500 is rated 25 highway.

[@winrid]

03SilverMustangGT 4 cylinder will get 30 highway at 70mph, mine does it consistently. Drops to 25 at 80mph. I got 19mpg average towing 2k lb load through mountains.

[@03SilverMustangGT]

winrid Is that the 2 wheel drive model? That's pretty darn good.

[@winrid]

03SilverMustangGT Yeah 2WD, extended cab, 6 speed manual. I wanted a simple reliable vehicle with a warranty. It works!

[@03SilverMustangGT]

Very nice! Glad you like it. My Avalanche gets 10-12 city 13-16 highway =( lol Thank god it's not a daily driver.

[@strizzo]

Colorado isn't the only truck with a fully boxed frame, the Frontier frame has been fully boxed since 2005....

[@Coty0010]

Yep, I scrolled down for this.

[@vstromrider3736]

Another example of chevy lieing again to try and sell their overpriced trucks.

[@gatewaysolo104]

Almost every truck for the last 15 years has been box frame. C channel is definitely not the norm these days. Box frames are more rigid but use thinner steel so they are prone to rot

[@josezacarias4082]

B T, well said. I am a chevy driver but since the bailout i have fallen out.

[@TheRandomMichael]

Best thing in the Chevy lineup right now. I think I will let someone else eat the depreciation and get one in a year or 2.

[@erickaguilar61]

I liked. Asta luego...

[@Terminxman]

Just saw this a year late, but it makes me glad I went with the Tacoma. Those wheel well liners look like they'll rip apart in a month. I really, really wanted a a mid size with a diesel, but the price tag on the Colorado with the Duramax and the required crew cab and LT is ridiculous. My 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4 was $33k, a comparable Chevrolet should be less considering it's a GM.

[@drchulo76]

I was going to wait and get this truck, but went and got myself a 2014 RAM 1500 crewcab a month ago instead. But it seems to be a very nice truck.

[@craigborrenpohl1233]

Fun to watch this after getting back from a trip to the mountains in my 2019 ZR2 and see how far the Colorado has come. Diesel is now an option, additional packages like my off road ready ZR2, etc. Keep up the great work GM.

[@Clam73]

"We're the only one with fully boxed frame" Doesn't my 2006 Frontier have that?

[@LysergikFuneral]

Yes. I wish TFL would have put a annotation to this guy's hype. Marketing is one thing, lying is another.

[@rodneya6371]

As soon as he said that I came to the comments since I knew my Frontier has a fully boxed frame

[@brianwilson3855]

What is the best transmission cooler

[@PeterbiltEmzie]

4 cylinder and 6 cylinder? This truck needs a fucking LS1, does Chevrolet realize how many SALES they would make with a LT/LS or LQ motor in this?

[@RubberCityMotoring]

agreed

[@RyanVier]

this truck is going to get a duramax, that's better than an ls1.

[@ras4782]

Ikr I like lil trucks with a big sound man. But it's a nice truck

[@PeterbiltEmzie]

Ryan Vier Comparing a Duramax to a LS1 is stupid, they use different fuel, and they're both Chevrolet, neither are better, they're both brutes.

[@ras4782]

I agree

[@shopdog831]

i believe the technical term for those shutters is cowl flaps they've been around for about a hundred years now to control cooling air

[@giff74]

I've got an old Frontier right now. I want to replace it in the next few years, but I really want a diesel. I just don't understand why all the major manufacturers sell these same trucks in other countries with a diesel option, but won't bring them here. That Chevy is a good looking truck, it'll be interesting to see how/if Toyota and Nissan respond.

[@alexmorangelli3319]

They will have a diesel here next year

[@NOLAItsNotOva]

Mainly its the oil companies. They want people to buy regular gas, not diesel, as anyone can make it. However, they are starting to be more lenient with diesels now. We are starting to get them with regular trucks. Toyota has had a diesel available for quite some time, but they never brought it here. Would really increase their sales. We can only hope they release some goodies for the next gen Tacoma since its been the king for years

[@hyperlogos]

NOLAItsNotOva diesel and gas are made at the same time. warmachines run on diesel, though.

[@lucashoddinott4659]

Honestly i would get a new frontier my dad has owned a titan for 11 years and we have not had one problem with it. Nissan is more reliable in my opinion and it looks better.

[@EvanderSmart]

New Frontier next Spring and a new Tacoma next Fall

[@davetwardy6273]

I bought the 2015 Chevy Colorado in white. It is the 2.5 L4 ext cab model. I have had it 6 weeks so far and it's great, love the perks that were included in the base. Power everything, rear view camera, lots of little storage compartments ( that some lock on valet mode) , The wifi feature is really nice for me considering I live in Canada and never had an option driving down to America to use my phone without getting crazy bills from AT &T. The Navigation system is kind of a let down. You cant just punch in your own address , you have to use the Onstar system talk to them and they look it up and send the info to the truck. The mileage is indeed what has been promised I am currently doing 9.3 Litres per 100km ( i'm Canadian ). My brother in law got a new Dodge Ram for over 40k and it didn't even include a basic hitch, the Colorado does just need the ball. 3500 lbs towing. Weakest engine of the brand but still has a lot of noticeable power passing cars with ease on the highway. I noticed looking at reviews the American versions display is different the the Canadian similar but looks like it has a few more options. Thats to be expected it's always that way from Cars to Apple tv. So overall Great truck good options , quiet , decent power and the best on gas by far. Doesn't hurt that it looks like a 2020 model compared to the competition either. If anyone else has knowledge about this vehicle the only question i have is, there is a slot on the left of the steering wheel on the actual console that looks like it would fit some kind of a credit card sized card. I have looked in the manual, and have not been able to figure it out. Its not a part of the heating system.

[@michigantler5046]

+Dave Twardy It's for an Easy Pass road or bridge toll card

[@jjames4401]

Hmmm, I think I'll still get the V6 w/ 305 HP in extended cab. Maybe its just me but I've yet to figure out whats so great about backup cameras. I wish it was an option & not forced on people where you could save that much more $$ in lieu of it. Or at least delete the back up cam feature & add the 7 speaker Bose w/ the center channel.

[@allen_p]

The only time I use the back up camera is when I am backing up to a trailer. I can position the ball right under the hitch, day or night.

[@tvanb]

He needs a few more links in that necklace

[@680ecks]

Spray in bed liner should be standard . Your buying the truck to use the bed and it costs gm almost nothing . Dump some stupid electric gadget .

[@Tro1086]

Amen brother, this day and age, some sort of bed liner/protector needs to fucking be standard, ridiculous that its an "option". I think tacoma has had bed liner standard since at least 05, not sure what nissan does, come on GM, Ford, Dodge, get your fucking shit together. Bed liner in a truck is a must, not a fucking option, stop milking us for every little option.

[@jaxes88]

Agreed, it sickens me how soft GM pickups are getting, note the lack of skid plates (that wimpy little thing on underneath the radiator and the steering mechanism is pretty pathetic), the fact that the bed liner is an option, and how he talked about the z71 offroad model being the high end expensive one. If they're more concerned about putting in a backup camera as standard equipment than maybe they should just stick with cars.

[@kcm732]

jaxes88 totally agree man... they should've just called the 'traverse pickup' so silly .... gotta love Toyota

[@natemorte]

jaxes88 Yea that little plastic piece of crap is suppose protect the wiring to the electronic steering mechanism. This thing looks like a death trap.

[@brandoncaldwell95]

thing is, they drop a 200 dollar camera which costs you 500, for a bed liner that costs 300, but you get charged 800.......cheaper to buy it yourself. I had a plastic one in my 05 till last year when I dumped 350 to get it lined...

[@paullamont8297]

Nice E-coated frame.

[@glsracer]

I thought the current Frontier had a fully boxed frame... Overall a nice truck, but a decent spec All Terrain needs to come in below 35k or a lot of buyers would walk.

[@UltimateCARNUT]

You are correct the frontier does have a fully boxed frame.

[@crashandburnbirner]

Ultimatemxcn Yea so that guy was laying down some marketing...

[@zimks]

I know z71 colorado that were sold for 34k

[@R777-RLM]

Does this man know anything about what 4x4 truck owners are interested in. Like. Reliability, longevity, suspension strength,esp. the front on independent control arm suspension. and a strong frame. The Colorado shown, has steel front lower control arms. But everyone I've seen has aluminum lower control arms, which are more V shaped than A shaped. There is no middle brace in the arm, there just like the full sized GM's. They state they are 10% stiffer than the old models iron arms. But aluminum fatigues faster, and If you hit a bump to hard, or a rock hits the aluminum control arm itself, It's apt to crack the aluminum arm. Making it dangerous or impossible to drive until the arm is replaced. Whereas steel control arms don't fatigue. If you hit something to hard, they might! bend, but you would be safe to drive home. I've researched vehicle suspension for over 25yrs, and I wouldn't have a truck or car with aluminum suspension. Notice how the expert, skipped over the front suspension. I've had two Toyota Tacoma's, one of which I jumped several times, hard enough that the bed hit, and dented the back of the cab. But not one suspension problem. My current 08 Nissan Frontier has a FULLY BOXED FRAME, and strong steel front A arm suspension. I say, cut weight other places, or use lighter high tensile steel for the suspension. It's to vital of a part to be weakened, for the sake of saving weight, or maybe getting slightly better handling, of which really only makes a difference on sports cars.

[@XerxesTheGreatOne]

Thanks TFL for asking the tough questions. Seriously whats with these massive trucks that have the approach, departure and break over angles of a VW Golf? like really. That front under bumper skirt should not be on any truck capable of offroading. I ripped mine in two spots in a 2009 GMC Canyon and I was always mindful of it when I was ever off road. This has just gotten a lot worse and down into another level! Seriously GM, keep those off road angles in mind for these type of vehicles. And that electric power steering looks like a recall waiting to happen just dangling down there. Jesus!

[@jjames4401]

...or have an easy-on / easy-off keyed quick release front fender skirt where you'd only need the simple key to remove it. I say keyed so fuckwit thieves couldn't easily steal it since it would be "quick release".

[@680ecks]

Over thirty grand ! Over thirty grand! Over thirty grand!

[@TheRandomMichael]

+680ecks Thats the starting price for everything but stripped down models or subcompact cars now days.

[@680ecks]

I just got an f150 after I didn't fit in the chevy. That was a year ago and I'm still freaking out it was thirty grand . I never though I'd pay that much for a car (truck). Reg cab short bed 4x4. The good thing is I'm getting 19 mpg all around and it's full size better than the small chevy.

[@davetwardy6273]

+680ecks Thats about as American as it gets. " I didn't fit in the Chevy" Does your full size Ford take the corners good at the drive thrus?

[@680ecks]

+Dave Twardy doesnt matter I don't fit. Ha,ha . I've got the shortest f150 ,reg cab ,Xlt ,v64x4 .It about a year old now and I'm very happy with it . Getting 19-20 mpg and it's got 300 hp pulls trailer good and th cab is very roomy . It's not a race car but seems to handle well and the ride is good and quiet. I drive big trucks so the size only bothers me when my driveway is full of stuff and I don't have enough room. Can't find any fault with it in a year very glad I got it . Cost 30 k ,more than I wanted to spend already, so I would not have payed more for the smaller truck where you have to pay more for the v6 and the nicer features in the equivalent to the Xlt package.

[@DavidStanleymusic]

+680ecks you own a death trap (see crash tests for further info)

[@NaterTaterOutdoors]

Stan has mislead us. The front airdam is a pain in the ass to take off. It’s not just a few screws, more like 13 and weird places and spots. Psshhh!

[@TheCLG956]

Great and awesome truck. I got a 2015 only 1 problem I have right noe is the power steering.. It goes out every now and again.😩

[@Dwarte007]

nice tech, I wish they would improve the full size the same way.............painted frame, sealant over underbody seams, metal sound deadener.............beauty!!!

[@donsigler588]

Painted frame WTF is that going to do up north, that painted comes with the truck from GM and its crap in terms of rust. Up here salt town your going to need Fluid Fillm or Wool Wax, Hell, even in Vegas that painted frame won't last for shit

[@JohnBobRoger]

On a trailer (like a boat) a "C " channel frame is preferred versus a Box frame. Why are they touting a Box frame as a bonus? Thanks for sharing.

[@atxjax1]

Is it easier to fix the transmission shudder problem when the vehicle is up on it's side like this? Or to take the key out of the ignition? Or to replace the leaf springs since they make noise?

[@CALLmeFITS]

Cool

[@larrylooney4495]

I like that GM is using real looking differentials instead of those weird ones

[@Luc98wie]

They look like the Toyota tundra

[@DJCARBON2012]

in what possible way? chevy doesn't copy from the competition like others do

[@Luc98wie]

In my opinion

[@Mohammadkwt]

DJCARBON2012 just look at the side of it bring the gmc canyon , chevy colorado & the tundra ( 2013 model at least ) & you will see they look the same that's what i said about the canyon when they showed it .

[@jd4pc]

Not really, but they did take design ques from the tacoma.

[@blubb7711]

Look like the Golf 7, or a other shity made german car. xD The welding lines made by chinese Kids, the Aluminium Cast were made in the Backyard...

[@bazouli50]

so let me get this straight, you put the electric power steering control box on the bottom of the vehicle.on that power steering control box, you have 3 or 4 cables that plug-in. How much sense does it make to put something that important down where the rain, salt, and sand can get to it? Not to mention if someone takes this offroading and they come down a little hard on a rock, there goes your power steering.

[@guyproulx1660]

GM engineering at it's best lmao

[@ALBERTOGALINDO1983]

He stole Torettos necklace

[@TERRYLZMARTINsanjuandelrio]

what's with the rear glass-like-window? does it slide down like other trucks I've seen??? because it doesn't have the small slide window that trucks used to have. thank you

[@paullamont8297]

Nice a box frame in a compact truck.

[@adamg5780]

Are those skid plates covering the power steering standard for all models?

[@XerxesTheGreatOne]

+A Goharpour no but that dangling power steering recall definitely is.

[@kyjoe9]

Was wondering if it was on a truck frame or unibody

[@lkcampbell9795]

I wish that you had asked him questions about the diesel model that is coming.

[@chrisreites5215]

How do you remove the serpentine belt on the 2.5 in a 2015 colorado friend has one and I'm just as stumped as him without removing tensioner???

[@samwell707]

[@samwell707]

*dont

[@guyproulx1660]

[@DavidStanleymusic]

+guy proulx certainly not up to Toyota and Nissan standards

[@503945158]

+David Stanley Oh please, you are not fooling anybody.

[@alexanderrosales7675]

guy proulx He didn't fool me but then again I just look at the odometer on my 86 Toyota and it reads 297,000 + miles on it ,and that certainly convinced me 😆

[@timjacobs9706]

i like the gmc envoy suv with a v8 emgine

[@jason1hut]

I'm rolling my eye's for day's

[@allen_p]

I've had my 2015 Colorado WT Extracab, 3.6 L for a year now. I ended up ordering mine from the factory as I wanted the V6, trailer towing package, and by buying the Work Truck version I saved a couple thousand. I didn't want all the bells and whistles; just a good truck to tow a trailer and haul stuff. It pulls a trailer great. Engine. power train, and suspension are great. Interior is cheap and stereo is absolutely horrible when it works, paint job is questionable as mine came with three 1 inch spots of missing clear coat. As an extra-cab I use the area behind the front seat as storage, but I wish the seats could fold up or be removed to have floor space of an ice chest, dogs, etc. Chevy really needs to improve the interior.

[@DS-cw8pm]

Why not tell us about your defective 8l45 transmission?

[@tannerbaku3547]

I don't know why they put electric power steering in that spot. Doesn't seem very off-road savvy in that spot. Also why are the rear shocks inboard of the leaf springs? Seems limiting to me.

[@stephenstack3292]

Truck flips over at 7:59 you're welcome

[@dcb805]

Did I miss something or besides the trailer hitch only ONE cross member on the frame?

[@k.r.v.4219]

Danny Burnett yes you did! From what I can see, one where the power steering mounts, second another just past the engine mounts, third under the trans transfer cases, forth just over the gas tank, fifth just over the spare tire, sixth and finally just before the trailer hitch!

[@ZachManZ71]

Can I pull 5K Pounds With The 2.5L? Too Late I already did, blew the transmission up it's at the dealer right now getting replaced under warranty.

[@ZachManZ71]

[@razeln1ght261]

😭😂

[@kevinvoyer5053]

That’s why it’s only rated for 3,500!

[@MrSnuggs]

Looks sweet. Kinda wish ford will bring back the ranger. More competition

[@NovaScotiaNewfie]

There goes the paint on the right side. Lol.

[@loganator78r]

I got to say Chevrolet. I'm in love!!!!

[@NissanPRO4X]

Only one with fully boxes frames? My frontier is a 2010 and its fully boxed! Segment leader with disc brakes, yep I have those as well. Viewed on its side I thought it was a frontier.

[@UltimateCARNUT]

Except the frontier's vitals are even more protected by the frame and the skid plates.

[@joshuatucker6896]

Yeah, I was going to say. That was just a blatant lie on his part. Frontier's big advertising point was the fully boxed frame that was just a shrunken Titan frame.

[@carlosrendo4970]

Great seeing the bottom of the truck! Zero videos out there with that view. Much more impressive to see a trucks guts.

[@chrisk6167]

Want to point out to all the "Tacoma will last longer and it cheaper..."-- I am driving a 1996 Toyota 4Runner which is identical to the 4th Gen (legendary reputable for reliability) Tacoma and previous T-100. I'm all for Toyota and their vehicles from the pre-2005 era. im at 190k miles, and its been supercharged and offroaded plenty in its lifetime. Not much has broken, but a fair amount has. Knock sensors, O2 sensors, clutch replacement, etc. But it runs and runs well still. The NEWER tacoma (yr. 2005+) Has a lot more issues and doesn't carry that reputation well. I watched this video because I could take a look at the underbody. Some SERIOUS key features why I want this over a new TRD Pro tacoma: New 300~ HP engine (v6), Total Box frame, which is important for offroaders that need to modify and/or replace chassis sections and install rollcages. better EPA. Better/new transmission. Cleaner and better designed stock exhaust. Transmission is above chassis cross arm, protected from skid/apex point for offroad clearance. Straight one-piece driveshaft. Good disc brakes from the factory (instead of requiring a Tundra swap in for performance). Easy to access bumpers for removal. Better interior. More logical charging/ports design. Better tie-down options in the back. Cheaper price for a fully loaded Z71 4WD Off-Road Crew Cab than a TRD Pro/ 4WD TRD Package Crew Caw Tacoma. (34.5k vs. 38.7k). Please do your research on both trucks. This truck is a lot better than the current Tacoma in nearly all aspects, and until Toyota releases their Diesel offering for better Torque and fuel economy, this is a for-sure winner. Also, its nice that the seats in this crew-cab are mostly leatherette, vs. the Tacoma's half-leatherette, mostly gray cloth mesh offering.

[@chrisk6167]

oh, and it tows 7100 lbs. You will NOT get that with any other trucks in its segment, and is comparable to the performance of many full-size trucks that are loaded with more expensive powerplants, which nullifies the "its so expensive, might as well buy a full-size". Can't compare a fully-loaded mid-size that pulls 7100 lbs. at $34.5k to an F-150 or Silverado with an opted in V8 that immediately sells for 40k+ WITHOUT options tacked on yet to tow relatively comparable numbers. (or a nice EcoTech/Ecoboost V6 which will also run you just as much)

[@weed34600]

I had a 95 tacoma 5spd 3rz with 316,000 miles original engine and trans. I now have a 99 chevy auto lq4 5.3 226,000 miles original engine and trans.

[@nadeemmohammed4770]

Any right hand drive in these?

[@jmua8450]

2:15 "it's removable" yeah with a damn saw

[@rustysasai1875]

And now I'm hearing that removing it can cause the truck to overheat.. Manual say you shouldn't take it off permanently. It's definitely not designed to remove and replace..

[@guyproulx1660]

+Rusty Sasai leaving it off voids the warranty, says so in the manual

[@wesleygleeson3375]

2:13 lol

[@StrokedGT]

actually, it can be removed with a T-15, but you can tell he was avoiding that conversation.

[@erikhadinger7655]

It looks like it has an aluminum driveshaft what a place to skimp for something that is going to be an off-roader and towing vehicle. Last Chevy I was off roading with had a rock dimple the driveshaft because it was aluminum and it twisted it up like a pretzel

[@gerryl53]

Gas mileage sucks! I have a 2017 V6 gets the same mileage as my 2012 Hemi Ram. The Ram was a hell of a lot fasted. And I put a Borla exhaust on it to try to improve mileage and performance, and found the factory exhaust is not stainless!

[@ianluigilastra1850]

How to solve the duramax oil consumption?

[@NickAm01]

Nice looking truck. Can't wait to see what Toyota is gonna do with the next gen Tacoma.

[@MrChevypower]

I'm sure it will be similar to the current one with a new grille and slightly upgraded interior. I don't think it's going to be all-new.

[@MrChevypower]

***** The 3.5 may have more power and better economy, but I can guarantee that 4.0 was a better truck motor with more low-end torque and better drivability and towing ability. I wasn't that into them before, but now I want one even less!

[@MrChevypower]

***** It's true that Atkinson cycle is more efficient, but it does have reduced torque. On top of that, you lose torque by reducing displacement, especially if its reduced piston stroke. Atkinson engines are often used in hybrids, which is ok given that electric motors make up for that torque deficit. If you want fuel efficiency in a truck and still get some level of performance, you really need to go with a diesel or hybrid (or a diesel hybrid). But then that always comes with a price premium.

[@RyanMcIntyre]

MrChevypower Why AREN'T there more mid-size diesels yet???

[@MrChevypower]

Ryan McIntyre I wish there were. I think EPA regulations have pushed the price of the engines out of the market in a lot of cases.

[@mikeparrish930]

Just doing hook a trailer to it the frame will snap where it goes over the rear axel look it up

[@GH-oi2jf]

Only if you exceed the towing weight. If you want to tow a heavy load get a heavy truck.

[@chadsteele1]

The new toyots comes standard with Drums in the back, wow that is updated. Just saying

[@crashandburnbirner]

I like how that tow hook is so looooow... Gonna have to get down in the mud when you get stuck.

[@dlakerguy]

Should it be up on the hood instead?

[@crashandburnbirner]

Or like in the grill or something bruh. Like they used to...

[@zimks]

Dale Couture they should just mount them on the roof i guess XD

[@crashandburnbirner]

Or like on the grill... So yeah.

[@zimks]

I'm just saying everyone will complain about something... if they would have mounted it in the grill it would probably get bashed for having an ugly as grill with two tow hooks in the way

[@trevercolburn8051]

Any rust on the frame? My buddy bought a new 2014 GMC and it already has rust on it!

[@smittyboy3419]

Why do modern trucks almost always have the front end dipping down. I've seen people mess up the bottom since it's so low to the ground.

They all come at a stance like that for fuel economy I guess

[@guyproulx1660]

lol

[@markshul03]

I can't stand it when Toyota guys bash the Colorado. Mainly because I'm a Toyota guy, and even I can see that this is an awesome truck. Does that make me jealous? Hell no, because I know Toyota is an awesome truck builder. I want the Colorado to be great and set the bar extremely high. Because the better the truck is, the better the new Tacoma will have to be.

[@guyproulx1660]

mark shuler it won't be any good for offroading and i seriously dought it will be reliable, it also got a bad score for side impact and rollover

[@markshul03]

guy proulx Chevrolets are very reliable so I don't know where you get that feeling from. If I were going to buy a full sized pickup it would be a chevrolet. And sure it may not be as good off road as a TRD but it doesn't have the options and Chevy realized that when they released the ZR2 concept. Which if it were to be built would be the most capable of any midsize truck. And I really don't care if it got a lower score, because it still has to be very safe to be released. And most people don't buy a truck for its crash rating. I love toyota and I drive one everyday, but I'm not going to fanboy and bash everything else even when as of now the Colorado is the best midsize on the market whether you admit it or not. When the new tacoma comes out and I decide to buy a new truck, I would drive them both and buy which one I like best regardless of brand.

[@jx906]

guy proulx It's the Motor Trend 2015 Truck of the Year! At 305 HP, it's one horsepower more than a supercharged Tacoma, and at a disadvantage of 400 CC! Normally aspirated, and looks great, compared to the 2016 FUGLY Tacoma.

[@happy543210]

for 40 thousand dollars, they couldn't bother to paint over those nasty gobs of sealant. classic GM.

[@dlakerguy]

You gunna crawl under there and look very often? Doubt it.

[@happy543210]

Dale Couture i'm not crawling under there cuz i wouldn't buy this piece of shit in the first place! I'll stick with toyota, thank you very much.

[@dlakerguy]

You go ahead and stick with a decade old machine that is inferior in every way possible.

[@happy543210]

Dale Couture that 'old machine' will predictably go 400 to 500 k miles before breaking down, unlike the Isuzu D-max (re-badged as the Canyon/Colorado).

[@dlakerguy]

happy543210 New trucks will do that too. Not saying old trucks wont. But you are acting like new trucks wont when you have no idea whether they will or wont. How can you predict the future like that?

[@Spike_-rx7bx]

Getting the 2015 2.5L in 2days with 75k, will let ya know in 6mnths what I think

[@fidensioperezjr2999]

He looks like larry the cable guy

[@DaveM111]

This guy knows the truck, but he needs to stop referring to truck buyers as consumers... degrading.

[@MiCmUrD3r]

I hope for 40K they junked that stupid captured rotor on the front axle.

[@spinkter69]

What I'm curious about is why the hell doesn't GM put skid plates on their damn trucks. What the heck is the point of a 4 wheel drive if you have to creep it over every slight bump? Almost 40 k for a shit truck with a bunch of pretty but useless gadgets.

[@allen_p]

Skid plates was an option on my 2wd Colorado

[@davidmorales-vw5mi]

Can you pls asking why my key it get stuck in the engine switch. I have a Chevy Colorado 2019 and I’m having so many problems and Chevy doesn’t seem to care about

[@svpracer98]

You have to push in and turn. It's a safety feature after the cobalt recall in 2013(?) It took me about a week to figure it out but it hasn't caused issues since.

[@samwell707]

when i first saw this bad boy in a parking lot i was floored. i thought "uh oh toyota is up for a challenge. the more i see of this, the less impressed i am

[@bigbillings93]

toyota has had the fully boxed frame for years so i call bull on them saying the only ones with fully boxed frame

[@craigborrenpohl1233]

Check your source, tacoma is a mix of boxed and C channel.

[@CaliKid921]

See everyones talking about horsepower but remember torque is what moves things and a 190 torque 4 cylinder won't be able to pull much and a 305 horsepower v6 but whats torque and does anyone know what the limited tow is? Personally I have the i5 2006 colorado which decent amount of power at 280 horse and i believe 240 horse but kinda struggles to tow don't get me wrong the i5 is a great motor and has its mileage dues you have to pay and as far as rest of design of the truck you can tell for even being a LT its a "shop" truck. However, feel as if chevy has learned from their mistakes. Buttttt ford does need to bring the ranger back!

[@jjames4401]

Have a '97 S-10 extended cab V6 w/ automatic transmission & a family member had a '00 S-10 extended cab 4 cylinder w/ automatic transmission. I'll admit the V6 S-10 is a gas hog but all the times I drove the 4 cylinder S-10 I couldn't wait to get the hell out of it as it had terrible torque/pickup. I used to joke how one day I was going to get so fed up w/ its lack of power that I was going to pour a gallon of gas on it after parking it in an open field after it rained, flick a wood match from as far back as I could, then turn around and walk off into the sunset and forget the pos ever existed!

[@allen_p]

2015 Chevy Colorado with 3.6L has 270 Lbs of torque.

[@upnorthyooper1196]

My daughter was about go go buy a new ZR2 and then we found out about the colorado frames braking in half and gm is telling people that's tough. It is all over the internet and gm is not recalling them. Not many people can just scrap a $40k truck after 5-8 years. Has gm done any thing to fix this? Lets see if you guys can give a honest answer.

[@TheCrEaSe44]

and who doesnt have 4 wheel disk brakes standard in 2014?

[@TrailTribune]

Tacomas don't.

[@JohnBobRoger]

Could a guy or a gal get under a new car and POR-15 it with a brush? Void warranty? Just wondering. Thanks

[@67wildwolf]

too bad the gearing going suck for true off use. 3.55 is all you get these days no 3.73 or 4.10 all so they can meet government fuel numbers .

[@Chief6067]

Don’t forget to talk about the shitty 8spd automatic transmission that breaks as you drive it off the lot Don’t forget to respond to the class action lawsuit against GM SEE HOW HE PASSED RIGHT BY THE PIECE OF SHIT TRANSMISSION

[@rompn4x]

Shit my co-worker just bought a 2015 Ram for $40k!

[@brandoncaldwell95]

exact reason I'm going ram on my next rig...if I want to drop 40k for a truck, I'll at least get a 2500 cummins 4x4 mega cab long bed for the price of the 1/4 and 1/2 ton chevy and ford trucks...

[@XerxesTheGreatOne]

+rompn4x He got ripped off.

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Yo Momma end of year sale. You don't know the options and that. Big difference.

[@rompn4x]

+Yo Momma he said they knocked it down to 32k out the door.

[@XerxesTheGreatOne]

rompn4x that's more in the ballpark.

[@SaintsRow1224]

GM needs to make a smaller displacement V8 to fit these Mid-Size trucks, and they'll sell like hot cakes.

[@rachetbomber2]

Hey I know another mid-size truck that's cheaper and will last a LOT longer than this Colorado. It's called the Toyota Tacoma

[@dlakerguy]

Cheaper? Buying a Taco is like 40 grand!

[@rachetbomber2]

Dale Couture It's $39,000 for everything on the tacoma. And I was talking about the base model. Besides you get what you pay for, and paying a lot of money on a Tacoma will give you reliability and less problems

[@dlakerguy]

Ratchetbomber2 Yeah but on a Colorado for $39k you get way more options that you can't even get on a Tacoma. Not to mention less problems than you would get on a Tacoma. Go check edmunds reviews or Taco forums and see how many issues there are with these trucks, let alone all the recalls.

[@xjeffyb4656]

Dale Couture Really recalls . I mean I know Toyota had some but its a chevy ......... They have a recall every other week. you never have to fix GMC/Chevy ,just wait for the Recall to come out or just go bankrupt either way I'll take a Taco.

[@rachetbomber2]

Dale Couture Yea more options to make the vehicle cause even more problems. I don't really need something super fancy on a truck. It's a truck not a Mercedes. And that was funny on how you say the colorado has less problems then a toyota. And how many recalls have Toyota called on the Tacoma beside the sticky pedals. NONE! I see how much GM really does care about their customers after knowing about the ignition problem for over a decade and they finally got on it with a lawsuit to help encourage them.

[@feliperobles8397]

Ahahahaha hahahaha haaaaa you got me there I thought you rolled it

[@normanwells2755]

6:18 '...a midsize truck...'. What would a small truck be? To me a one ton and less is small. A semi and up to ore haulers are big. Three tons and five tons are mid size.

[@W1LDWESLEY]

imagine having a smaller body truck with this tecnology. i imagin a smaller body truck would make 25-30 mpg. to me the back seat will collect dust and become a hassle of cleaning. i would buy these big trucks if they make better mpg than my nissan d21 and maintain a price bellow $28,000

[@dieselmutt8865]

They have a standard cab version. You don't have to have the back seat to "collect dust and become a hassle cleaning" if it doesn't suit you.

[@TheCrEaSe44]

probably already getting recalled LOL

[@guyproulx1660]

it has been recalled lol

[@Gazooo29]

All this guy cared about was towing,maybe where I live but only 70-80% of the trucks I see don't TOW A THING!!! They used them as daily drivers around here. Also I thought you could buy a Diesel now hmm

[@larryspiller15]

As for acting like 39k is a lot, I don't really think so for the features it gets you. Try and get the same features on a full size for less then 50k, good luck.

[@Tro1086]

39k is a lot for a SMALL truck... It wasnt all that many years ago you could get a full sized diesel for 40k.

[@EditCrew]

Tro1086 Small is kind of a misnomer the things is pretty big, compare this to the old S10's man its a whale. I wouldnt pay 39K for a fully loaded one but i can see the intrigue considering your upwards of 50k for a silverado comparably equiped. If it was 30k fully loaded this thing would sell like hotcakes.

[@larryspiller15]

Tro1086 buddy were not talking about the past prices because those aren't coming back lol. You can't just compare it to prices that are no longer relevant. I would say ideally it should be 35k for everything but we shouldn't forget that gm has put a lot of resources into these two trucks but at the same time they wouldn't want to excessively cannibalize there silverado/Sierra market

[@ChuckBeefOG]

Anyone that actually pays the sticker price on the window is completely and totally, mentally disabled. And Tro, it's because of inflation of the economy, everything costs more now, from labour workers to utilities to materials and transportation. In turn, all of these factors result in a higher price passed on to us, the consumer. 40k in 2002 had the same purchasing power as 53k today. But most certainly your wages have risen in that time to reflect the inflation of the dollar.

[@Tro1086]

Yes wages have most certainly risen equal to inflation... HAHAHA

[@patriots603]

Take it off road ...watch it break

[@guyproulx1660]

i hope the tow hooks come as stardard equipment, god knows it will need them

[@totalglitch]

patriots603 I did held up no issues keep crying

[@victorromero4216]

At the end of the day it's still just a Colorado!

[@MartinRamirez-ec3tp]

Is it me or does it look like a 2000s Toyota Tundra crew cab truck?

[@ThisisWar51511]

im a ford fan all the way but this is the only chevy I really like
