2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 | Road Test

[@Matt68B]

Looks good, sounds good. Well worth the money.

[@TheHelghast1138]

Love it! Just wish it had a sunroof to truly enjoy the outdoors when you are off roading.

[@filipinofantasy]

They should make a SS model with a Vette motor

[@Namesi]

Grab a lipper and your flex-fit, we're goin wheelin' brother!

[@BigBossIvan]

I enjoyed the video but the end literally gave me sticker shock. Holy crap... Yea, imma hold off on that "value".

[@GMV8KSA]

I've always said it needs the 3.6 335hp/285 lb-ft tq from the CTS.

[@2dfx]

It is the same motor, however for some reason they decided to de-tune it for the Colorado.

[@Tool0GT92]

Mid size? These trucks are huge

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

I would buy one new if I had the money. There is just so much appeal for me to get a Crew Cab Diesel. But in Canada they above $50k for a regular V6 thanks to dealer markup.

[@francismartinez6049]

xXBurntBaconXx I know it's absolutely ridiculous. I'd never pay that much, especially for a Chevvy

[@BBBILLY86]

I have a short wheelbase 5.3 Trailblazer and my buddy had a 5.3 2wd Colorado. Zero reason they couldn't put the new Direct Injected 5.3 L V8 355 HP into this.

[@13christbane]

why make it heavier for 50 hp?

[@normrubio]

Don't forget to add the up-charge from the dealer.... you'll be lucky to have a walk out price under $50k

[@88tcoupe]

Does MotorWeek not do instrumented testing anymore, i.e., 0-60, 1/4 mile, braking?

[@francismartinez6049]

88tcoupe now a days it's all about fuel economy and price that people care about...that's my guess why

[@Trendyflute]

This was clearly them filming a press event at a remote location. They also get cars at their facility for testing. I think car releases go in cycles and it's the season for these kind of events; they probably film and release other segments at other times due to staffing and resource allocation, production scheduling, stuff like that.

[@88tcoupe]

Mathew Clark I'm sure it is, but the title to the video is a road test. That usually means instrumented testing. Not that worried about it, but always liked to see their results.

[@jackhook4192]

We talking about off road vehicle here not drag strip muscle cars.

[@marcw5288]

I will wait and buy one a 3 year lease

[@DAS-iq7ce]

To all those people in the comments complaining about the price of the ZR2. Grow up, get a better paying job, and quit your bitching. This is what new trucks that are capable cost nowadays.

[@paulwicklund1052]

Needs the 4.3L V-6.

[@680ecks]

Have to agree i was like "maybe i should go look at one " then $45k bam,the end.

[@richeastmain4031]

Not too much more info here other than the brochure.

[@BlueNinjakoopa553]

Should have called it [Off]-Road Test

[@emerica420]

needs way more power and a different engine choice

[@Michael0697]

I'd say the 2.8 I-4 diesel is a wonderful engine choice, but a torquey V8 option would be nice. Wonder why they don't make a small block diesel V8. a 3.2 or 4.0 Diesel V8 would be perfect for this truck. Not heavy enough to really ruin it, but a torque monster. And the second criticism with it is that there's only a 6-speed auto for the diesel. Meh! Chevy is too lazy to tune for the eight or ten speed?

[@emerica420]

A V8 would have been awesome in this truck! Probably get close to the same gas mileage of the V6 since it doesn't have to work so hard. It's a disappointment in my eyes, doesn't have the power to stand out above it's main rival the Tacoma. Could have been something special like the Raptor.

[@hochhaul]

Mihaly Lukacs The 2.8 diesel makes more torque than most V8 half-ton trucks did 10 years ago. Add a tune and the 2.8 is capable of making 450 ft-lb of torque @2000 RPM. Not bad for a midsize truck.

[@Michael0697]

Oh yeah, definitely, hoch! My only personal qualm is that they're still on that six-speed. No reason why the diesel doesn't deserve some transmission love.

[@jessehernandez5043]

Mihaly Lukacs im sure the next gen will get the 8spd. Cant give consumers all the goodies on the first model lol

[@rfdsdf1]

41-43k wtf makes this worth that?

[@jackhook4192]

Go price new trucks these days period.

[@Insuranceexamprep]

Atlanta Falcons 28-3

[@nb7466]

My grandpa got a new gmc pretty much loaded for 46 thousand. So i said lets look at a Colorado and they wanted 40 grande. Why would you want half the truck for really not much less.

[@ChaseStricklandjax]

"$40,000" LOL

[@mrzed2349]

Goodyear tires are total Garbage.

[@Ara198826]

as thirsty as full size Land cruiser with 5.7 V8 lol

[@jackhook4192]

But the land cruiser don't have front and rear lockers and can't even begin to go where the zr2 does.i have a jeep Rubicon and a zr2 on order now with the lift and 35 tires.

[@mitch9521]

Perfect for 17 year olds with daddy's line of credit so they can stick light bars and color changing halos on and rev the fuck out of it in the McDonalds parking lot.

[@ChristopherOvrebo]

#penisrims

[@orbits2]

Looks like the new Ford and vice versa. And who in the United States can afford a 50000 plus pick truck?

[@jackhook4192]

Obviously u haven't priced new pickups lately.

[@illumination357]

To bland for my taste

[@roydied15]

That's a badass rig, but Jesus Christ is that V6 a noisy engine. Sounds like it's already knocking

[@hochhaul]

Roy Diedesch Lol then you should listen to a Tacoma sometime. Fuckers sound like sewing machines. Google "Taco tick" or "Tacoma tick". Those noises are normal for a gas direct injection engine. GM went back to a roller chain to increase timing chain life on the latest version of the 3.6 V6. The reason Ford Duratech and Ecoboost V6's have so many problems with timing chains wearing out early is due to the cheaper but quieter inverted tooth timing chain they use.

[@shadowwolfmandan]

You're listening to the diesel.

[@jamescharles7637]

Chevys "Me too" Raptor. Just like the Camaro. A "Me too" Mustang. Cause they want one too.

[@jamescharles7637]

TheTexasHitmen Restart the video and listen to what he says in thw beginning. Then come back to me.

[@aaronkindersberg9427]

Another brand jokey. Let me know when ford sends you a check for defending them on the internet.

[@jamescharles7637]

Beauregard Shultzberg Funny since Ive owned Chevys too. Its an observation of GMs marketing bs not their quality

[@aaronkindersberg9427]

Yes Motorweek commenting about how Motorweek speculated that Chevy would launch a Ford Raptor competitor but instead launched a mid-sized Off-Road capable truck is Chevy marketing BS.

[@jamescharles7637]

Beauregard Shultzberg It is. They cant even come up with an original idea.

[@MrKoddo]

No one offroads like this - driving around like a maniac. You'd be crashing into other vehicles and running over razers and atv's all day long. Raptors and pickups like this are for Monster bro's and mall crawlers that drive like assholes on roads. Only real offroads are Wranglers and 4Runners

[@TheCanadianCyclist]

You need to move. Where I live you can off-road all day and never see another human...

[@ridge9066]

Koddo Huh? Where I've been off-roading in the desert people drive faster then what they showed in this video. That's why your required to have a flag above your truck so people see you.

[@homersapienne2356]

You should've just started with the pricing so I didn't have to watch all that worthless nonsense. This is an off-road truck for women. Pink should be the primary color option.

[@metetuncay5165]

1995 called. They want their sexism back

[@homersapienne2356]

How's all that SJWing working out for you? You like the Donald Trumps of the world becoming president? How about Nazis running over your special snowflake friends? 2017 called, and there's still no jobs for lazy millennials like you.

[@homersapienne2356]

Seems like 75% the truck a Ford Raptor is for 75% the cost a Ford Raptor is, is perfect for people who make 75% the income someone who would by a Ford Raptor would make. Yet another special snowflake incapable of processing simple information.

[@metetuncay5165]

I'm a veterinarian but sure. no job for lazy old me. LMAO

[@StrontiumJaguar]

Homer Sapienne how do you feel knowing you are slowly becoming irrelevant?
