I’ve noticed the rear section of the frame on the Colorado and Canyon is pretty thin, which probably is partially to blame for the exessive flex. The rear frame section on the new Tacoma looks like it’s at least 1 inch thicker. There have been a few people on the Colorado forum and on KZbin that have actually had their bed flex enough that it hits the cab and causes damage.

I have been looking at that bumper for my ZR2. Does the front bar interfere with the forward camera and are those the factor fog lights inside the bumper?
@alwaysdifferent4 күн бұрын
Yes you still reuse the factory fog lights , The bull bar doesn’t interfere with the. Forward camera

My bed also flexes, also with my bed rack the sides are separating from the bulkhead, will need bed stiffeners depending on what kind of setup you have. I found holding down the phone button on the right hand of the steering wheel clears the apple carplay issue.

The GM designers explanation of not allowing the 4 windows to is safety. Hopefully making you look to ensure people and/or pets aren't hanging out the windows.

All longer trucks - you can observe the tailgate moving up and down when the rest isn't. My F150 was the absolute worst, but it had a 6.5' bed.

I am at 21000 miles on my '23 ZR2. The truck is awesome. No major issues. Some small screen glitches here and there but that's it. Yours truck is looking great. I think the flex or bounce of the truck bed you're seeing is an optical illusion. I see it thru the rear view mirror with nothing at all in the bed. I really don't think it's flexing. Hope not anyway.
