2023 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Desert Boss - Redline: First Look - 2022 NAIAS

I've never owned a truck, but I would consider this.

Same

[@dannielz6]

Dang. The new Ridgline is coming out too. I would seriously be happy with any midsize truck on the market right now. Frontier always catches my eye too.

[@miguelkennedy9520]

Yep of course

[@twobeagles1365]

If the engine and transmission prove to be made problem free, I will consider one of these trucks. Looks to be very well designed, I would love to see fox or Ohlin's shock components and a Manuel transmission as well. Thanks you always give very informative reviews.

[@probablyobvious1286]

I miss the zr2 stitching in the headrest... love mine currently and will definitely trade it in if the keel the price the same compared to the silly GMC tag.

[@lunamaria1048]

The last ZR2 does not look very dated! I think it is still one of the best looking mid-sized pickups, currently on the market, especially with the optional racing bars! I say this as an SUV buyer not at all into pickups lol. I never imagined Chevy could make a better looking next gen ZR2, but yes they did lol. It is definitely a beautiful rig! I have ordered a 2023 Bronco Raptor, but my fiance is stuck trying to decide between staying mid-sized, or finally getting an F-150 Raptor he has always dreamed of. I think he needs to follow his dream lol

[@itsesmir6218]

Whoah, they finally added a push-button start. The old ZR2 did not have that

[@ChowDownDetroit]

that seriously was the main reason I didn't get the Colorado last year! So glad they have it now

[@Visigothi1212]

How is that a good thing?

[@wassha09]

Wow. The interior of this looks very nice.

[@bbbt8090]

Damn, the interior looks way nicer than a Tacoma

[@elche1976]

Because it is.

[@Barrera909]

😍 clean truck and the canyon also 😎

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Love the look.. Love the paint!!! This is what the Tacoma aspires to be.. Although when it comes to reliability and resale value, the Toyota takes it, easily.. Thanks again for the continued videos while at the show, Sofyan.

[@elche1976]

Used to. Seems like since they've moved to Mexico, Tacoma reliability is taking a dive. Fyi. I own a Toyota. Never bought a vehicle based on resale value. Buying it hoping to sell it later doesn't make much sense to me. Buy it for how you'll use it. But for what you think you'll get it for when you sell it.

[@pagodad8079]

They’re still reliable and still hold their value. But the taco sucks to drive on the daily. I own one.

[@jvoltx10]

Agreed

[@cornholioyo725]

for 2024 , the new toyota tacomma will be re-designed.

[@cornholioyo725]

@@elche1976 re-sale is a big deal. Resale valuve helps you get into a new vehicle every 3-5 years with less money paid out of pocket. A taccomma loses about 10k in 4-5 years vs a chev loses 15-20k after 5 years. Then when you sell , you dont have to add as much money on of your pocket.

[@septuzwillz5936]

I bought my zr2 4 years ago id still nvr get ride of it.unless i got the new zr2.iv had so many new trucks but so far still zr2 is my absolute favorite ❤.

[@chadgraber4575]

I wish you could get the black interior with red stitching in the ZR2.

[@푸른나무늘보]

Thank you. Does the rear view mirror fold automatically?

[@danielKUR1985]

Great looking truck. Hopefully the 4 cylinder lives up to the hype. Only interior change I recommend is to blend the info screen more smoothly into the dash, kind of looks like you just stuck your iPad there and was an after thought in the design. Also would move the split in the dash by the cammo section and move the cammo section down making the dash on smooth piece. As it is now kind of reminds me of some of the mid 60’s cars dash look.

[@buraqrider2076]

Doug, you light up the world brighter than those LED's.

[@speedRacer05]

They nailed it.

[@messiah_4073]

That's because it looks like a tacoma😌

[@SirGreta]

The Desert Boss definitely has my attention. Waiting to see what heat Toyota has in the clutch before I pull the trigger for 2024....

[@_thevuefinder]

2:04 That's some great timing.

[@chuckwalla2967]

Reminds a lot of the 4Runner from the front view.

[@expresscarreviews]

It was so so so good to see you bro 😎

[@kolomonasmith7500]

No drivers side handle assist in new trucks? what's up with that?

[@matiasferrer4700]

Freakin nice set up from Chevy. I’ll have to wait & see what the Tacoma will come up with before I pull the trigger..

[@LoneWolfHustle]

They knocked it out of the park with this one.

[@LouFayad]

I’m so ready to put in my order!!

[@kelseyhayes8171]

Can't say I'm impressed. A so called completely redesigned truck with Incandescent park and tail lights, still only offering a manual rear slider, in a 2023....Really!!!!! That display screen looks like it was glued on to the dash and an afterthought. Rear shock mounts, even though they were moved further outward still hang down pretty low. Looks like a small Silverado, at least the 2015-2022 Colorado/Canyon models didn't look like a shrinked down full size. Expected to cost around $63K, no thanks! I'll keep my 21 Bison, thank you very much.

[@Garlander]

Only the blinkers and dome lights are incandescents and the display is fine, for how large it is especially I wouldn't complain. Doesn't look nearly tacked on like other vehicles. And you were way way way off on your pricing there 😂

[@pontiacGXPfan]

you should......the 2.7 is simply not good enough

[@MidnightZR2]

I love my 22 ZR2

[@violetanoy9792]

That 4 cylinder turbo a ticking bomb idk if will last

[@elche1976]

It's had several years in the Silverado. You don't know because that's exactly it, you don't know. You're speculating without paying attraction to actual data that exists. Good luck with that.

[@jp23x]

Beautiful truck man. I love it

[@darthbane2669]

Also you forgot another feature for the bed you can lock it so it's on level with the wheels

[@basskickersoutdoors5594]

Yea and the price jumped up to about 65/70k after all is said and done compared to the 21/22 model makes it even more appealing cough cough........ Yes I agree the interior needed a major make over but I'm happy with my 22 bison with the 3.6. And didn't pay anywhere near what they go for now have fun with that lol.

[@IanD-4]

Any clue why no more heated back on the front seats??

[@classicxl]

I just bought a black 2022 wt and as nice as this 2023 is there’s no way i could afford it my 2022 wt was $40.754 can’t imagine what this thing will cost up here in Canada

[@JDMEXforme]

Looks like a Taco. The ground clearance is insane. Good offroader as always.

[@deifor]

4Runner to me

[@elche1976]

Looks like the taco? I guess, if it has different frame, more cabin space better info technology and different engine. Other than that.... I guess?

[@JDMEXforme]

@@elche1976 a quick glance it does. But obviously if you inspect the shiit out of it you can clearly see it isnt a taco. The previous facelift was better.

[@marcusdarby2854]

If people who want those additional luxury touches like material quality and full LED lighting inside and out. I'm sure GM will guide them toward the GMC Canyon AT4x

[@dylantoussaintinnocent5920]

Can this truck drive through winter?

Is this the 3rd Gen?

[@darthbane2669]

Looks cool but nit paying 60k for it mine as well get full size I think the z71 will be my choice I have the 22 z71 and really like it but it's so cheap on the inside 23 fixes everything I find lacking

[@Michael-ur5qb]

Gosh the midsize market is heating up as are the prices I hope they’re making room for a small truck like the Maverick.

really nice but will it run after 2 years...

[@commonsense7057]

I have a 2022 Colorado Z71. With how difficult it is to find new trucks right now I imagine it will be quite some time before these are in stock on lots. When that happens I will be trading my truck in on one of these.

[@walkworthy]

Should be Spring/Summer for ZR2

i have a 2022 wt ,I also had a hell of a time finding even the most base models . I can’t imagine what this truck here being shown here is going to cost

Kind of really want this. We’ll see if Toyota steps their game up on new Tacoma first though

[@okhera1]

Very Nice Bro. Get Good People!

[@brianc5537]

The Tacoma interior is way behind. I own one. Chevy hit a home run with this. Engine is probably peppier then the Taco too. The Taco is slow as hell…

[@ChowDownDetroit]

you were reaching for the grab handle when climbing in but they didn't have one. That's a huge miss on Chevy's part. When you raise the truck that high, it has to have a grab handle.

[@jcab136]

I thought this the 3rd generation cause they had it in mid 2000

[@DM-tf6mk]

Really love the look of the new Colorado especially the Zr2. Would love to get one but I'm sure pricing will be ridiculous and overpriced. Regarding towing, pretty sure the Zr2 will have a tow rating of 6k. The other models will be 7700.

[@rjejames28]

Base zr2 is ok price but that package is absolutely ridiculous

[@NathanTOrr]

It's got a hood prop rod instead of struts!?! This thing is like 60,000 freaking dollars. Come on! Oh yeah, and no L.E.D. interior lights. Like these little things should go without saying.

[@mikef8703]

This is the 3rd gen. Gen 1 was in 2004 to 2012. Gen 2 was 2015 to 2022. This is Gen 3. Cmon man correct information matters to some of us still.

[@gvet47]

I just wish they would get away from all trucks being a crew cab! Just wasted space if you are single. Just an extended cab and short bed would look great in this truck model.

[@josephreyes7610]

Now… how reliable is that engine???

[@ega0117]

But will it be reliable like the Tacoma 🤔

[@coreyarmastus6189]

Wow only 50 grand. That’s a lot cheaper than I thought it would’ve been.

[@kabloosh699]

Since that is the Desert boss version and with the Canyon AT4X special edition being reserved for 65k I would suspect this truck to be around 55-60k as equipped. A ZR2 that isn't a desert boss equipped version I would suspect it is probably around 45k before you start adding options.

[@jordanspinar9147]

Why are cars still using old lighting tech in this day and age? Is it really that much more expensive to offer full LED all the way around? The front turn signals should be LED, so should the rear and reverse lights. Imagine paying 45k for a vehicle and still getting incandescent bulbs.. a bummer really.

[@robtranzen3282]

This my opinion section. 4 cylinder turbo on a truck is not my style. Yeh more power but your giving up reliability and more block stress. Idk why people want fast trucks. Its a truck for crying out loud. Its not a buggatii truck or any race car. But that my worthless 2 cents.

[@PVo-1111]

I love it but the price is ridiculous.

[@cristhianfernandez8802]

Ok so you know this is the 3rd generation of the Colorado and the same for the Canyon. They 1st appeared in 2004. Please do better research if you are going to give specs and "facts"

[@RoundEyeMood]

Chevy really step up...awesome looks. Interior design and layout is very well done. Nissan really missed the opportunity with their plain Jane Frontier. Those who are still buying in on the old design of Tacomas and 4Runners are going to miss out on all this latest design and technology. The ZR2 will be hard to beat...400+ lb ft torque...are you kidding! Great job.

[@LTJohn]

I'm a little disappointed that GM is only offering one configuration for this truck where my 22 Frontier I was able to get a 6-ft bed which you can get with either the crew cab like mine or you can get it with the King cab and also the new frontier still offers a V6 and I would be a little concerned about the reliability of a turbocharged 4 cylinder that makes over 400 lb feet of torque..

[@robedwards6926]

[@johnnytyler5685]

I can't even describe how much better this new Colorado is when compared to the old model. The old model was a turd. Ugly outside, cheap and disgusting inside. ZERO redeeming qualities. Chevy went from THAT level of dumpster fire to the best mid-size truck on the market in one generation. From the cheapest base model all the way up to the most expensive ZR2 off-roader, ALL models of this new Colorado look incredible. It's just an exceptional design overall. And as far as this ZR2 goes...just WOW! Talk about a grand slam in the looks department. It looks mean and aggressive from all angles. And don't even get me started on that shade of blue. Absolutely beautiful.

I'm definitely annoyed that they have eliminated the long bed option and I suspect Toyota will too, leaving Nissan as the only midsize long bed available. I looked at the Frontier SV long bed, but that truck lacking way too many basic features for the price. Given the huge power and torque numbers of this 2.7 GM made a huge mistake by not offering a capable, well equipped long bed.

[@stevornrichards1380]

What basic features the SV long bed is lacking? I'm curious because Nissan offer the most basic features out of all the manufacturers.

[@dlg5485]

@@stevornrichards1380 Heated seats/steering wheel/mirrors, LED forward lighting, sunroof, bed tie-down rails, premium audio, etc. These features aren't available at all on the SV long bed, not even as options, and this is a $39000 truck. No thanks!
