Im surprised you didn't mention the bigger screen for the instrument cluster screen! I'm glad Chevy fixed that for sure!!

[@davidwethington9320]

A similarly equipped Tacoma is 6k more. That's ridiculous.

[@largol33t12]

Not that much more. The stealerships in my city are marking up Colorados by $2K and intentionally stifling supply to keep the prices inflated. I have lost interest in the truck because of their mind games and the way they manipulate their floor plans to keep the prices as steep as possible. For comparison, a Blazer at the same stealership I visited was priced at a whopping $49,000.

[@pulsatingsausageboy2076]

Definitely ridiculous considering the fact that the Tacomas are now built in Mexico. They’re paying basically nothing for labor so there’s no excuse.

[@RedColoradoZ71]

Great review!!! I have that almost exact same Colorado. But I optioned for perforated leather seats and red seat belts. I absolutely love the truck. This is my third now.

[@niled2012]

Absolutely love it ! We have the 2023 Colorado Z71 and definitely think it is a very fun truck to drive 😎👍🏻

Did you pay over or under invoice price?

Thanks for showing the payload!! Lots of reviewers don't and it's something that's pretty important for a pickup truck.

[@oliverramclam6009]

Nice truck. And the Quality is there also the Tacoma’s will sell but the chevy is a better value

[@OLDS98]

Thank you Ben for the GM review. The only think I do not like is the headlight design. I cannot stand it when they put one headlight on each side of the grille when a vehicle should have a quad( two on each side) headlight design on each side of the grille. I like the digital gauges and the features. That truck is almost bad a full sized truck was back in the day. The trucks have become larger indeed. The GMC Canyon is nice as well. Compare Canyon and Colorado if you can and throw in the Ford Ranger.

[@missulu]

Is it weird selling a Colorado in Utah!lol! Larry Miller should list this for free with us. 2 free auto listings every 48hrs. No cookies, easy to use. Cute truck!

[@rndsommer40]

In 2012 i traded my Tacoma for a 2013 Frontier. I currently own a 2022 TRDOR.......I wont make the same mistake again.

[@benlecluyse]

Insane Chevy Ben !! ❤❤

[@RossMalagarie]

Ben just a heads up, the 2024 model year all the Colorados come with the Turbo Max engine only the WT can come with the Turbo 238hp and 260tq but the WT can also come with the Turbo Max 310hp and 430tq with that option, but the Turbo Max comes standard in all other trims of the Colorado and Canyons for 2024 just like ALL trims Colorado and Canyons only come with the 11" DIC, (driver infotainment center) for the 2024 model year and all 2024 model year Colorado and Canyons use the Ultifi software system for over the air updates, so we will see how good that works since its their first year and its the same system that caused a stop sale on them until they could be updated and is the cause of the stop sale of the Chevy Blazer EV to this day.

[@na2305]

I like your vids. These "mid sized" trucks are beyond the reach of most people.

[@Bateluer]

Need to take a test drive on one of these. My 2019 Colorado has a 3.0L V6 and I'm really curious how the unified 2.7L engines compare, not really sure how the smaller engine still has the same tow rating as the V6.

Time will tell about the new Toyota reliability but I’ve never owned a reliable GM. My last one was a 2022 Silverado 5.3 and I had injector failure at 5000 miles. Truck sat on the lot waiting for parts for a month along side over 10 other trucks with the same issue. I’ll never buy a GM again.

[@nuts5388]

Probably something to do with the pandemic? And also my family has had like 7 very reliable gm vehicles since 2000

[@Jay-bw3fl]

@@nuts5388 No, to what I understand it was a design flaw. GM updated the injectors and they replaced the failed injector with the new one with the new part number but not the other 7. No thanks. The 350 vortec and the 5.3 vortec were some of the most reliable engines ever made but after 2007 GM has made unreliable v8s and they’ve always made questionable hit or miss transmissions. I had transmission issues on a brand new 2016 Colorado. I’m done with GM.

[@williamlittle7987]

I think the Taco will have a better higher resell value as most Toyota's do anyways

[@spyder000069]

Tacoma has the higher starting price too. Especially after the dealer maket adjustments and unneeded crap they they throw on. Keep in mind those with a loan at the current high interest rates are paying more interest due to the higher priced truck. If that makes them stretch the loan adding on another year the interest rate also increases. So when all is said and done 5-10 years down the line it may be a wash. Not to mention there are already some issues with the '24 tacoma that are coming out so that resale may not be locked in yet.

My wife and I just spoke to our local dealership earlier today. We currently have the 2020 GMC Terrain, and I have wanted a pickup truck most of my adult life. We are trying to decide between the GMC Canyon and the Chevy Colorado. I am really trying to see how they compare with each other. Any input here will be appreciated. Thanks, and hello from London-Ontario, Canada 🙂

[@zyralex820]

Same car. GMC uses slightly better interior materials other than that, same engine and dimensions.

[@KenMcCune-wb3jp]

Colorado is a cool truck for Mize truck like it

[@HeavyChevyMega]

Z71 Colorado looks sharp , did this one have the sunroof ? Also can you get it w/o the air dam & a skid plate instead. Comparing it against the TrailBoss Colorado , which truck sits higher , I was at a dealer and saw both trucks side by side & they seemed identical heights , the Trail Boss has a 2" lift so I would think it would sit higher. Let me know . Thanks

[@kailencummings3554]

when you build the truck on the chevy website there is a skid plate option but after market might offer more protection for a better price , you might be able to get it removed with packages or just do it yourself like other truck owners do

[@Bateluer]

Your mileage will suffer without the air dam, as I under it.

[@kevinselzer1669]

Ya, Toyota is not doing to well right now. The front diff is going to ruin the reliability. I think the engineers were so focused on the engine other things were ignored. Hopefully next year they fix it, but for now GM is surprisingly the best value and designed compared to Toyota. Never thought I would say those words.

[@copytan2395]

Best bang for your buck. Also they offer the most off road capable midsize truck. Gotta say it, imo Chevy has the number one spot. Got the motor trend truck of the year to prove it.

[@dvader3263]

[@IndyDog-ns8ws]

After 9 months just received my 23 Z-71. For some reason Chevy added the 20 inch wheels, wanted the standard 18's. 20''s not good off-road. Ordered with the skid package, so the front air-dam is gone. No real time driving it yet, but looks great in Glacier Blue.

The same was said about the 3rd generation Tacoma. Nevermind the refresh... but if you keep ignoring reality, it's all good, right?

[@Mike-qg3zd]

I left Gm because of there reliability. went to Toyota. owned 2 of them. i traded only because o wanted a v6. otherwise it was flawless. was sick of Gm electrical issues ( check engine light). i’ve owned probably at least 10 GM vehicles in my life and got sick of there non-reliability. got tired of constantly going to the shop to be fixed. went to Toyota and it’s been flawless. i just change the oil. The GM trucks look sharp no doubt but don’t judge a book by it’s cover. buyer beware.

[@vernwilkins]

My 2016 Colorado Z7 has 188,000 miles on it, hasn't had a single issue and I do a lot of off-roading. I've owned trucks my whole life and this truck has been far and away the best I've ever owned. I'd like to upgrade before I get to 200K, but I can't convince myself of any good reason to, other than to have some trade-in value, rather than driving the truck until it dies.

I've owned three Chevy cars, and to be completely honest I am done with the brand entirely. I do want a truck, but having driven a Nissan Sentra before to great satisfaction and seeing what the Frontier offers, all I can say is that Chevy looks nice but does not deliver what I need. If I can get a great deal on a used Frontier then I will likely take it, especially since I don't make the kind of money to get most used trucks and the Frontier has less amenities that would otherwise up the cost for me.
