“…You could also do that by looking out the front window” 😂😂😂

I heard that 2024 Colorados all get the larger screen for the gauge cluster.

in the current world, this seems like one of the few good values in the truck market

Very nice review as always. I’m not a truck guy, but I’ve always liked the Colorado / Canyons. Always felt they were the only competition for the Tacoma. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@Itchybooty7]

Looking out the front window 😂 that’s amazing

[@GODOFPWN247]

Been waiting for this! Awesome video!

[@ers1027]

Start/ stop usually won’t engage in a GM vehicle if you are running resources that would require engine power like the A/C

[@brandyn22100]

Not true. My GM vehicle shuts off even with A/C full blast. It actually turns the A/C down until it starts back up lol. Kinda annoying

[@ers1027]

@@brandyn22100 I said usually. If the temperature is modulated properly it will shut off. If you are stopped with the engine off running A/C it eventually starts again.

[@andrewhillman9632]

Very good looking truck, great engine, just a bit dissapointed in a new model that does not come standard with LED headlamps. A base, base, Toyotal Corolla has LED headlamps. Save those haolgens for the work truck/fleet spec owners who want to lower the cost of replacment parts

[@vipermoon_]

This truck was perfect until the wheel didn't telescope in this trim level. Seems to be a common occurrence still in this class.

[@27Zangle]

Whatever vehicle I purchase needs to have telescoping steering wheel as my wife is 4'11" and it is hard to fit her in many vehicles safely.

[@bwright1991]

It's ridiculous that companies are still not putting telescoping steering wheels in their trucks

[@johnbishop1360]

One liner of the week. Refering to the following distance sensor. "You can do the same thing by looking out the front window." 😅

[@sean47w7]

Nice. Please review a ZR2 next!

[@NortheastWilderness]

Nice review. I currently have a 23' Colorado LT. I have had it for about 3 months and just had to have it towed to the dealership. Some sort of software update caused my battery to drain completely dead over night. This same exact thing happened in July. Thankfully I was home and not in the mountains. Dealership said they had about 10 trucks towed in just yesterday for the same issue and will take two weeks to come back. If anyone is looking to purchase this vehicle I would certainly hold off to make sure GM has everything figured out. Personally, I am trading mine in the day I get it back.

[@ArseneLupin786]

Ya. I was literally going to get the WT trim but when i found this out, i had to get out of the dealership

[@johnd3268]

I'd love to see a lesser power trim since those'll be cheaper. Like an LT base motor.

[@jasonspellmon9280]

Need led lights for headlights

[@General_M]

Did they really put reflector halogen headlights on a $41k truck? Also the gauge screen looks overly busy.

[@johnconway7484]

A few Gremlins in that computer.

[@tyhyhh]

those prices about to go up with the strikes better buy one now

[@sokratzmmf]

If only the Blazer was based on the Colorado as an off road SUV.

[@pacificdragon1]

Can you control items like temp, radio stations, headlights with voice control? I can control temp, radio stations with voice control on my Challenger.

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

looks a lil better than my 99 sonoma sls i guess. and i dont like the lights being in the infotainment screen. who ever though of that, should rethink it. how do brights work? the same way as always or do i have to fish around the screen for the button?

[@christinejones7362]

Great drive for a 🚛 truck fast and smooth. Really nice!!!!

[@jassimmohammed17]

Bring back Pink Mirrors!!

[@kutanah]

could you start putting epa rated fuel efficiency numbers in the description?

[@Jdub00884]

Like the reviews of the vehicles you do but the prices seems ridiculous especially for that truck before Covid that truck was maybe 25k max . Maybe we jumped into another dimension or something 😂

[@Morlay1]

It does look cool, but on the offroad focused package, no 360 cameras? I don't think I heard you mention anything about skid plates either. And halogen headlights too... I love the look of the new colorados' and the infotainment looks great, but for over $40k as tested, it seems like there are a lot of compromises. Especially compared to something like the Frontier pro 4x which has skid plates, LED headlights, and 360 cameras (Terrible resolution, but at least its available.) Maybe a mid cycle refresh will bring these more up to speed. Lots of competition in this segment though which is only good for the consumer.

[@dawsongranger4940]

Trail boss has skid plates, optional 360 cam. One thing it has over the Nissan is a proper limited slip in the back

[@elche1976]

All those options are available in packages. You just need to select them, and pay more. If go to a higher trim, and again pay more. If you don't care for those creature comforts, the trail boss without those packages is a great choice.

[@braydonbriggs9066]

360 cams don’t really do all that much. If you’re properly off-roading, you’ll have a spotter with communications.

[@gemini2261]

Gutted GM is not producing RHD in Thailand again for Australia, love my 2017 Colli BUT have they sorted all the auto shudders in the new model?

[@rbnh9827]

I currently have 2022 CX-30. Starting to feel I need a truck since I do lot of camping/light offroading. So, This or Nissan - Pro 4x ? Is that V6 on Nissan worth the 7k plus? How good will this be for offroading/camping over/under Nissan ? I really like the Nissan but that 48k OTD price seems little bit out of range for me.

[@smitdizz420]

You def want the pro4x over this. Way better engine. Miles better

[@edsipple9330]

I don't understand why everybody complains about the plastic it's been in there since the 80s were you guys been all that's right you weren't born 😮

[@ryanking6811]

But would you buy it @TheTopher ?

[@randsp3c709]

Went to buy one , it came out to 40k with a car that should have been worth around 15, they said 12, for a trade in

[@Lazy2332]

It seems so goofy to have that tiny display as your entire dashboard.. Like Honda is putting larger ones in their new Civics.....

Really not bad for 37k!

This shouldn't be 37k

​@@dave_riotsagreed, but we aren't living in the early 2000s anymore. Are you saying he the same about home values, rent, gas prices, wages, food prices, etc? Everything cost more. Do you think car/ truck prices are immune to that?

@@dave_riotsyes, considering Tacomas going for $45-48k!

[@Themayseffect]

Gas mileage sounds surprisingly below average considering it's a turbo 4.

But is Topher going to get the new GoPro? Or switch to the Osmo action 4.

has anyone seen the “this the Chevrolet trail bitch” video

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

good review, but I live in a damn country like this where it does´t has opportunities of nothing, where you can´t reach a misery job for buying a truck like that.

[@josephbreen9955]

It's not a car, it cannot turn on a dime, it's a truck.

[@thearousedeunuch]

The lack of a trip reset button would be enough for me not to buy this thing. That's why I often annoy reviewers to properly show both the infotainment and the gauge cluster information screen.

[@waldolemmer]

Thanks for saying lbft instead of ftlb :)

[@robertk1049]

Piano black dash and console trim... in a truck... Good grief.

[@KazuoNichimoto]

Are those round vents from the current 86/BRZ?!

[@FINALV8]

I know downsizing and forced induction are the way of the world now, but sheesh... was the powertrain NVH team out to lunch when that motor was approved? It sounds so cheap - like a rattly '90s GM 4 cylinder 😑. The 3.6L V6 was nice, smooth, and sounded so much more refined. The extra power of the turbo 4 is great at least...

[@jmc6000]

Yea that 4cyl is not very good sounding whatsoever
