Nice to see Kelly finally getting her due respect, in the industry, and it was really nice of her to include you, Dave!

[@AllTerrainNation]

I follow the boss - Dave

[@CowboysFanJosh]

I bought a 24 Colorado ZR2 for less than a 24 Tacoma Off Road with less features. Chevy has the best deals currently for the midsize truck market.

[@AllTerrainNation]

Right on!

[@chadwhite1198]

I like the videos where the two of you present together. You make a good team. 😊

[@AllTerrainNation]

Thank you! 😃

[@RobsKoiPond]

I went with a fully loaded ZR2 Colerado in lieu of the Bison or Desert Boss. The spare tire in the back was the issue for me. Love my truck the way it is and when the tires eventually wear out I can always look at going to a larger tire in the future. But realistically for most people the majority of driving is on pavement / dirt roads so 10.2" of clearance is more than enough lol.

[@garyblaich4585]

My 2024 Canyon Denali performed great off-road the last 2 trips. Alpine loop from Lake City, Co and Valley of the Gods in Utah. No issue with ground clearance, power, torque, and ride. Very pleased with this off-road suspension. Highway driving is as quiet and smooth as previous Lexus SUV’s I’ve owned.

[@waltersteffensthezr2man431]

Just having the AC vents in the back is a big plus for me!! Sunroof is awesome too!!

[@valleydude5000]

Another great video! Keep them coming

[@AllTerrainNation]

Thank you sir

[@smittysmitty481]

Nice truck & solid review!

[@nordlandak6853]

Nice truck. Like the sunroof being smaller. The ranger needs one too

[@AllTerrainNation]

Yes it does!

[@terryyarrington8271]

The Gladiator, ZR2 Bison and Cannon AT4X AEV Edition are the best mid size trucks period. The Ranger Raptor has the best power train though. Wish GM would have used a twin turbo V6 instead if they weren't going to use a V8.

[@byronclark7732]

Nice truck good review!

[@AllTerrainNation]

Thanks! 👍

[@l33tm4ch1n31]

Awesome truck! I super excited for this truck, and I hope GM gets their stuff together and actually gets these trucks out to customers. These bisons have been in constraint for months!

[@AllTerrainNation]

I hope so too!

[@captaincrypto9660]

Great video. Love the ZR2

[@AllTerrainNation]

You and me both!

[@planoman0935]

I love the fact that the Chevy has rear air vents. I wouldn’t get a bison cause I don’t off road but a zr2. Going to check it out!

[@blackhawkninjabeast]

Wanted to buy one of these but hard to find so I got a Silverado 3.0 duramax Zr2 bison for 79k and 1.9% apr that I would not havegotten in the Colorado

[@user-nq2yc1vi1z]

Ok Kelly get Bison & you the Ranger!

[@dank3823]

Too bad in northern California and Nevada there is only 1 available. Yup 1. With that type of distribution and the economy on the verge of popping, your lucky to have one. Good luck GM.

[@AllTerrainNation]

I do not own this.. I’m an auto journalist and review these for a living

[@davidheaton6206]

Too bad they don’t have a legit midsize SUV to compete with the 4R and Bronco. Could’ve used the blazer name (instead of making it escap and Rav competition) and brought back the jimmy

[@robqwertyuipp8750]

This tire size should be on the 1500 ZR2 as well !!

[@AllTerrainNation]

The Silverado needs the option for sure!

[@user-xl6zl6hp7j]

Yeah it's sweet but I am going to be looking for the engine wear and tear and I do prefer a V6 so we'll see how well the 4 banger hold up

[@giahoag6637]

I love the color 💙

[@AllTerrainNation]

Its even better in person

[@joeyl1939]

I took it for a test drive the other day and when you turn the tires rub

[@MrJeffyb69]

ZR2 is my choice!!

[@AllTerrainNation]

We really like this one

[@Highflyingdad]

35 fits just fine under the truck, I put 35s on my standard ZR2 and put the 35 in the stock location. They don't put it there for departure clearance reasons

[@bigd2256]

Any issues with rubbing? I have a 24 ZR2 and wanted to do the 35s

[@apexcapital1328]

Just like my truck with less upgrades. Hope to pick mine up next week.

[@AllTerrainNation]

Congrats you will really like this one

[@TREVORJB101]

I agree 💯 on the interior. It's underwhelming, especially when compared to the Ranger Raptor. I dont like the yellow stitching. It's an odd choice and doesn't blend well. I do like the screen and dashboard layout, tho. GM should've put the spare tire on the passenger side, instead of giving the driver a major blind spot.

[@mk4dea]

nice video! can't wait for the Taco one

[@waynejewell-sw8qg]

not

[@mcjogom]

🎉👍👍👍🎉

[@joewham8809]

Love the truck but it is Never a good idea to replace cubic inches with turbo’s…4cyl is strong now but will it hold up

[@AllTerrainNation]

Very good point

[@Highflyingdad]

Engine has been in the Silverado since 2019, and has been very reliable. It's not a turbo from the 80's. This 2.7 was built from the ground up like a diesel, with a fully forged bottom end. It seems lately the V8s have with AFM have been the engines not holding up.

[@06XTOR]

I love this truck...at $55k

[@AllTerrainNation]

100%

[@XerxesTheGreatOne]

That spare tire is in the perfect spot. It's good to see that Colorado Bison here used their heads and put the spare tire in an appropriate spot unlike the rest of the herd of mindless zombie truck manufacturers that just shove it under the bed where it cuts into ground clearance and away they went. I'll give y'all a for instance here. I once had a friend with a Tahoe who got a flat tire. So naturally he went crawling under the butt end of the vehicle rather ungracefully to grab the spare and low and behold it was all gone... Whole thing rusted out and long fell on the highway and gone before he ever had known it. Oh yea we do live in the rust belt! More manufacturers need to get them spares off of the bottom end of the vehicles stick it where it's more accessible and not put it where it's exposed to all sorts of road debris and cut so much into ground clearance.

[@phantom0456]

The only reason that spare is in the bed is because it won’t fit under the bed at 35”. For trucks or SUVs that aren’t dedicated off-roaders like this it makes far more sense to store the spare under the bed or under the rear floor pan where it isn’t cutting into the cargo area space.

[@XerxesTheGreatOne]

@@phantom0456 Ain't nobody who is buying a bison is gonna use it to use it for work or haul a whole lot, believe you me. It's designed for maximum off-road capability and that means increasing the ground clearance as much as possible and also to have easy access to that spare tire when inevitably you lose tire and you need to readily access your spare tire and not have to crawl under the butt end of the truck in precarious off-road situations. That spare tire is in the perfect spot!

[@Highflyingdad]

​@phantom0456 , It fits under the bed just fine, I put my 35 in the stock location. They don't put it there for departure angle reasons. I just remove mine and throw it in the bed if I go do any hard core wheeling.

[@honda116969]

Sick truck! That thing will go head-to-head with a raptor and beat 👇 the Toyota products like a redheaded stepchild... I drive the 3rd gen Tacoma I'm disappointed in the 🆕 🗑️ from Toyota

[@johnrossi6212]

Love the way it looks, but would still buy a Ranger Raptor or TRD Pro over this.

[@Holden-McGroin]

TRD Pro lol.

[@user-lc6ft6bh7w]

So you don’t want a true front locker? Tacoma has that silly crawl control and the raptors isn’t a true front locker. No full skids nor metal bumpers. But to each his own

[@musa_8014]

Gm yi abd hükümetinin kurtarması işe yaradımı güvenilir ve sorunsuzmu?yoksa Opelin içinden geçen hurda canavarımı iyi yayınlar 😅

[@darkhoophoff-dog1468]

Why can't they have a manual.... I don't want a Toyota :(

[@texandy89]

Sunroofs should not be on a pick up truck if you want a sunroof get a SUV or car. What is I don't get why people want them I had plenty of sunroofs that failed and when they fail with leaks or whatever the case it's super costly to fix. I have a sunroof on my current vehicle which I regret but when it's time to replace my vehicle I will not be getting a sunroof and I won't regret it in my opinion pick up trucks should never have a sunroof it's stupid in my opinion.

[@nismo370z4]

It's an option on the Colorado, you don't have to get it.

[@texandy89]

@@nismo370z4 what I'm saying is it should not even be a option meaning no sunroofs for trucks you want a sunroof pick a different vehicle. Sunroofs should not even be a thing in a truck. That's what I'm saying.

[@texandy89]

I'll take the Ford Ranger or Nissan Frontier over the Colorado and Canyon due to no headlight dial or knob and the stupid shifter placement which I find to be ridiculous and stupid.

[@Holden-McGroin]

That’s a ridiculously stupid and petty way to make a decision on buying a vehicle, but it’s your choice to make.

[@texandy89]

@@Holden-McGroin Not stupid at all what's retarded is the headlight control is built into the screen that's stupid and retarded whoever thought of that idea should be fired. Shifter location also stupid like was Chevy thinking that they will be making a right hand drive truck or is chevy the stupid ones for retarded dumb ideas. You can keep the stupid crap chevy at least with the Ranger you get three different engines unlike the GM and the Ranger has a V6 so suck on that keep your lame GM crap.

[@texandy89]

@@Holden-McGroin you are the stupid pathetic one

[@chadbrinkley6358]

Ridiculous...the headlight controls are so easy, it's an always available icon on the top left of the screen, that requires a "tap-tap". Literally no more effort than a light switch down by your left knee. The shifter placement actually works, I didn't like it at first, but it totally works. I have a '23 Pro4x and a '23 ZR2....the frontier feels like it should have been released 8 years ago and the knobs and buttons that you like so much are in the most random and inconvenient places. The diff lock button is down by my left shin. LOL. So weird and it's not very comfortable.

[@texandy89]

@chadbrinkley6358 until the screen goes you won't be happy. You keep your stupid touch screen headlight control I'll keep my dial headlight control because I don't have to worry about the screen going because it ain't built into the screen. Whoever made that a smart idea from GM should be fired that's the most dumbest and the most retarded idea ever seriously how more retarded do people need to be.
