I watched this when it was first posted and it influenced my decision to but a ZR2 2 months later. Best choice I could have made. In original form this truck is fantastic. I've tuned, geared (4.10's) relocated rear shocks and upgraded front and rear springs, added Timbren off rod bump stops and removed front sway bar. Only limit this has now is wheel base related. MPG is 15/17 in town and 22/24 on hiway. No problems, trans is great (tune). I was tempted by a 70k Gladiator for a few days but my truck is paid for.

Jon Martin Until Toyota addresses the poor reliability of the 3rd gen, Toyota is the Taco killer.. Also while the Tacoma has slightly more ground clearance, the low hanging exhaust and transfer case are major issues. The Tacoma's weak rear differential is also a continuing issue. Guys on Tacoma World are constantly busting ring gears without trying .

For a modern full size truck I agree the 5.3 is underpowered but I think it would be perfect for the Colorado/Canyon. The new Colorado/Canyon isn't much, if any, smaller than my moms '03 Sierra so I think mid-size trucks are about due for a V8

Oh yea that’s a nice truck! It’s looks just like my Z71! Side by side they would both look similar, the only difference in looks are the bumpers! I have the same tires, plus with the better coil overs to level mine and air bags for towing level their both the same height! My only regret is not getting the diesel, but they were not available when I was ready to buy. I actually do too much over the road traveling and heavy hauling to compromise with a ZR2. I’ll say this though, after seeing the new Silverado that comes out next fall? I’m waiting to drive one and see what engines are offered in them before I do anything. I’ve also added four mud guards on my truck, that really helps to keep the mud and road spray down! After my truck looking like the one at the end of the video? I knew it needed them!

Frank Magana I live in SoCal too and that's the beauty of it. I got preapproved for the full amount of the truck (Canyon Diesel All Terrain) and then visited my local dealer here in Victorville. They gave me a quote and didn't want to budge on price. So I emailed the quote and my preapproval (so they know I was serious) to 5 different dealers and every time someone came back with something lower, I'd email another dealer to see if they would beat it. Since the Duramax had literally just came out was only able to knock off $2,000 before no one would budge. Using that same method now I could probably go another $2000 lower easily. A big help though is having a preapproval before hand. That's one less thing you have to barter with them for and they aren't going to want to let a serious buyer go.

Frank Magana Actually not as much on the more affordable models. They're more willing to go lower on higher priced models than lower priced models since they have more room to work with on their profit. You could obviously still knock down the price but definitely not $4,000. Your best bet is to wait for a really good sale. Like last year they had 20% off around Oct/November for all Chevy models.

4:46 -- Those who consider 'rock crawling' a sport clearly use these trucks away from parking lots and standard roads. Considering the engineering and construction costs already invested in delivering a product to market, wouldn't it still be a good idea to add a protective plate for the gas tank for a comparatively nominal cost? The Titanic was unsinkable.

So how would you rate the gas V6 vs the Diesel? I've test driven non ZR2 versions of both engines and honestly found the diesel to be underpowered and plagued with turbo lag on road. The diesel was great at making the traction control work overtime in 1st gear, but once it upshifted the diesel was downright slow in comparison. My fear using that diesel off road would be that turbo lag causing a lot of strain on the axles in a rock crawl type situation.
@engrcumins9809
@engrcumins9809 6 жыл бұрын
It would be interesting to know the difference in cost of maintenance between the two. The diesel gets better fuel mileage but diesel costs more. So, I wonder what the cost comparison is there. But, if the diesel will pull more, the cost - if diesel is more - may be worth it depending on the use of the truck. I'm interested in Overlanding and I've seen those folks really load down a vehicle and/or the addition of a trailer. I don't know how the v6 equipped version in the Colorado, the Taco or the Jeep do it. In this case, I think the diesel would be the best choice regardless of cost of operation.

Pretty soon, the only body-on-frame, compact vehicles you'll have to buy will be trucks. Toyota has ramped up Tacoma production for this generation and it will be fun to watch what Ford does with the Ranger. Will we see a return of the Dakota with a 3.0L Diesel? The midsize truck market is getting interesting. Do you think GM will bring out and off road GMC Canyon?

Lockers are actually best in "loose terrain"... Front lockers only work in low gear tho- so unless your in some really bad snow you'd be moving pretty slow. To be fair thats not a chevy thing. The beauty of this is not just having lockers, but having electronic lockers. No need to install air compressors and systems that constantly fail (all the air systems do) and have to have constant maintenance. Air is a pain. Electronic is easy.

you can pop 33's on with a 1 inch body lift, and body lifts would not effect the shock system at all.

But honestly I don't think it will be that much longer before they start offering multimatic's with longer travel to satisfy the itch - truck is selling very well.

Wonder what baja racers and other hardcore offroad racers use for shocks? Oh thats right, external reservoir bypass shocks...The multimatic spool valve shocks on the ZR2 might work great but trying to say they are superior is a pretty large stretch. Most decent external reservoir bypass shocks can be rebuilt easily and are fairly cheap to service...wonder how much those spool valve shocks cost to rebuild if you even can or how much a new set will cost? Most likely A LOT. Raptor shocks can be rebuilt quickly and easily, Im going to guess the ZR2 shocks are the exact opposite.
@jessehernandez5043
@jessehernandez5043 7 жыл бұрын
what do you expect? before this technology the internal bypass was the only option. I wouldn't expect the cost to rebuild to be that much more if at all because the construction is different. a spool valve doesn't bend or "deflect" like your standard shock discs do therefore not undergoing the same wear. it could also be replicated to exact specs every time. funny how completely closed minded people are to new tech just because they don't understand it.

not bashing the Chevy, but isn't it pretty bad that their v-6 gets the same gas mileage as my 08 tundra 5.7 dbc?? these small trucks cost over $40,000 You think they would get better gas mileage.

Ford will probably be joining the mid-size off-road market bringing the Ranger Raptor to the US. If that happens both of these models will being chasing stock long travel suspension standard, probably HP/TQ numbers as well. I'd take 2 lockers on the Chevy over a crawl mode all day. IMO Toyota is a truck most would love to like but getting beat in all the metrics - Tow / MPG / HP-TQ make it a tough sell. Yes after 100k your Toyota might be a easier sell or worth pennies more then the domestic but "someday my beat truck will be worth more then your beat truck" that is hard to put in the equation.

Do you honestly not know about the Raptors biggest selling point, suspension with a ton of travel or are you just trying to down play it to make the ZR2 sound better?

31" tires are too small for an off-road class truck. Even a shorter wheel base Jeep comes with 32". Wish they would give an option for 35" tires and a 2" body lift to accommodate. 35" tires are the minimum for most off road people especially n a truck which is longer. You'll see a lot of aftermarket changes with people that buy these. If your going to bu lid an off-road truck tires are one of the main things that need to be right.

So basically compared to the Tacoma it has less ground clearance, worse approach/departure angles, More weight, Less tow capacity, Worse value retention , No manual transmission option and is shaped like a mini van without a front bumper. Toyota for win. At least this has a front locker its gonna need it. ;)

Toyota measures their ground clearance from the axle and not from the lowest point on the vehicle (most common problem with TRD is mangling the exhaust as an example). Chevy does not. Toyota retains 72.9 percent of its value at 36 months to 70.0 percent at 36 months for the Colorado. Of course the TRD starting price is $1520 higher so the 2.9% upswing difference doesn't make up for the excessive up front cost to begin with. These two trucks are literally #1 and #2 in resale value. ZR2 does weigh more because it has a stronger frame, lockers etc that add a bit to its bulk. But having 30 hp more in the V6 then the Toyota easily makes up for that. Towing difference is 6400 toyota, and 6000 ZR2 - so they both suck and you wouldn't buy either if you wanted to tow stuff.
