After 3 years driving my gmc sierra I automatically hit the deactivate button every time I get in and start it, occasionally I forget it, but it only shuts off once till I remember it. I did hear of an aftermarket switch that will deactivate it automatically every time you start.

[@Whatisthis195]

I think GM hit the nail on the head with these colorados. Way better styling than the outgoing, decent interiors and the fact you can get the nicest trim for sub $50k is great!

[@tomm1109]

Just a shame LT and above are over 40k if you want a few options like power lumbar support.

[@Whatisthis195]

@@tomm1109 agreed. But to get these options in an off road full size truck? Minimum $70k now. And I’m probably shooting low.

Ford once was the innovator for trucks, once GM came out with their multi-purpose tailgate it blew me away. GM and specifically Chevy are now leading the way with style, technology and features. The company is now run by engineers and not MBA financial people. The new Colorado is a nice looking truck. Congratulations on your media invite.

[@nathan9137]

I like the looks, but I really wish they'd kept the extended cab, long bed option.

[@ColeBaker09]

Love these new colorados only have 1 complaint. It only comes with a 5' box no 6' option, which I really like in the old gen truck

[@dougchrist9874]

Hey Mike, my daughter in law works at the GM plant in Wentzville, MO. Back a few months ago, they had a family day, and we got to tour part of the plant, and they had some of the new Colorado and Cheyenne on Display. Plus, they had a nice display of their electric vehicles. We got to explore. So it looks like I might have one up on you by seeing them before you! Haha!

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Oh man I seen a guy with the Silverado the other day in a parking lot, he was the nicest guy and let me look at it and sit in it. I would never normally ask that of someone but it was so awesome, I fell in love immediately. This is my new dream truck, pray I can grow my business enough to afford one. I have never had a brand new car before.

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Also, it's going to be a hard sell for a 4 cylendar to us car guys. No replacement for Displacement.

[@wooooooooooop123]

I Bought a 2020 Silverado with the 4 cylinder turbo, i hated it gets the same or worse gas mileage then the v8. You also don’t get that instant v8 torque experience. I traded the truck away got the v8 and deactivated the highway cylinder deactivation.

[@Persocondes]

the slanted tailgate feature is so the lip of the gate is level with the wheel well arches so you can carry plywood/drywall and it will be flat, instead of slanted.

[@andy-ti9zf]

looks like an awesome truck. I had a colorado once and really liked it. Had the 5 cylinder motor and quad cab. perfect truck for the guy who has to commute and needs good mileage.

[@Shaqshaq_pov]

I’m so glad you show more than one trim. This makes it so much better to pick.

[@seasley2004]

Finally a well deserved refresh! I have a 2020 Silverado custom with the 2.4L and it's a workhorse no problems!

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

I think you meant 2.7L.

[@haroldbanks5388]

You didn't say anything about gas mileage what do they get

[@passionfruitestate9691]

Well done Chevy Dude ! Would prefer light switch on instrument panel and not through a video screen. Will be interested to see where the pricing sorts out for these trim levels. Not sure these trucks will garner enough buyers to make the Chevy investment in the Colorados worthwhile. A good friend went from a Colorado to a Silverado 1500 Trail Boss last year as the ride and space comfort was not there. He did a 500 mile round trip with spouse, daughter, and dog, and found the interior too tight for all of them. Short distance or going solo no problem but the ride on longer hauls was a bit rough from the short wheelbase. In addition I think his gas mileage with the Silverado is not far off from what the Colorado was giving him. Mike - Hope they ask you to do the new 2024 Silverado and Sierra HDs.

[@gpaje]

Impressive redesign and trim creation by GM on these trucks. It's something I would considering leaving my full size for, especially on tighter trails my big hulking Rebel is just too big for.

[@6755steve]

will upgrading to the high-output engine tune require premim fuel, and what are the mpg of the different power levels, also what warranty does the colorado have overall

[@R23HTC]

Loved my 2018 Colorado. Traded it for my ‘23 HTC. Just not sure about a turbo 4. Wish they still have the 6.

[@bluesfan6862]

Currently drive a 2018 gmc 2500 custom WT. absolutely love it. Don’t need all the bells and whistles, and that’s why I’m absolutely loving this trail boss. Perfect I’m between of some nice features, but ultimately it’s still a truck.

[@GMCAT4]

They look great but I got 2022 canyon AT4 because I did not want a 4 cylinder, I had rather have two more cylinders than a turbo .

[@calebniederhofer6529]

Not me. The 2.7L is significantly more powerful and a solid motor. It is not even close.

[@erikgonzalez2278]

As everyone said chevy killed it with these packages and features. Also your right in the Silverado that turbo is loud in a good way. This is the trim I’d get work truck with that $500 package I can deal with the steelies!

[@shredblue8536]

If GM is “listening to the consumer,” can they get rid of that annoying quadruple horn tap when someone dares to walk a few feet from the car? Lol Great video, thank you for going through all the trim levels!

[@kevo11171987]

so the Silverado 1500 has two Trail Bosses. the custom version and the LT version. it looks like they do not have the 2 versions for the Colorado. also according the Chevy's website it shows WT-LT-TB-Z71 then ZR2 for the trim level order.

[@blackericdenice]

I love turbo engines. I bought a 2016 F165 new. It has 88k miles and I had to replace one $20 temp sensor. It still has the stock battery from Ford.

[@haroldmoran7222]

I believe the aux button is so you can add an electrical device and have a on off for the device. Also you will need to buy a module for that switch.

[@jeffthomson1777]

Looks like a great truck but I think I’ll keep my new Silverado ZR2

[@j.c.isking2165]

I haven’t seen ANYTHING as good as the Colorado Duramax diesel ( Isuzu ) in ZR2 trim. This truck reminds me of my former Subaru WRX as far as torque and even handling, as the ZR2 version is 2” wider which makes this corner like it’s on rails, AND 30 MPG!!! This truck IS an absolute rock star… and pretty rare as well.

[@rico387]

Finally, they are starting to get it- safety features should not be exclusively bundled with luxury options. The work truck with the camera is proper. I hope they are richly rewarded in sales numbers. Oh, and GM; Mike is ready for a dealership.

[@32775jason]

I'm very seriously considered buying one I want a midsized truck but I've never owned anything but rams. I've never owned a Chevy . But there new Colorado's look awesome

The fender flair cut outs are because the canyon has lights there

[@Dwayne7834]

Thanks for the video and information. Not impressed with the 4cyl. Only. Have a 2018 v6 that I like other than changing the left bank spark plug.

[@slip0n0fall]

The intermediate stop on the tailgate puts the tailgate level with the fender humps. That way you can support a 4x8 sheet of material evenly.

[@rayjohnson1974]

Great video as usual, I have been waiting on this truck for a while now. I currently have a 2016 Colorado Z71 and I love these trucks. I am sure you know the transmissions on this generation of Colorado is not good. Less that 50K on this truck and its already had the flush done and the torque converter swapped out. The shudder is gone, but the shift point on this 2016 has always felt off. Slowing to make a turn that goes uphill and you have to move to manual shift or it will be rough getting up that incline. I was worried about the new version of these truck and that "turbo lag" you described makes the worry worse. All the info I have seen on the Z71 they all have that colored stitching, which I am not against, but like you I am a fan of the blue and it looks like it will be yellow or red stitching which I am not a fan of in a blue truck. Hurry up and get that Chevy Dealership up and going I am in Jeffersonville and would rather get this truck from you.

[@jeremyhulsey7749]

I'm planning on buying either the Canyon or the Colorado in a few years, I'll let a few model years pass and then jump on it. If you have your Chevy dealership we may be able to make a deal.

[@Eightball2516]

Chevy went cheap on the trail boss no led headlights no fog lights and no aux switches to add a winch or additional lighting and no push button rear locker. Would have been nice to have the steel front push bar and winch for the trail boss.

[@PM_Doug]

I definitely want to buy one with the L3B engine and maybe using the LPO later on. Possibly get the LT model

New Ranger FX4 package doesn't offer Sun roof or Front locker and virtually no button knobs. Yet just as expensive as a ZR2.

[@ethenjordan2010]

Putting the switch in there is perfectly okay, people can calm down about it not having a physical switch. I haven’t touched mine, ever! It’s auto and good to go.

[@ChevyDude]

[@Shotgun_789]

Am I correct in thinking something as simple as heated side view mirrors is only available with a technology package or something like that? Hard to believe, I assumed that was pretty basic. Love the new truck though.

[@shawnduffield5643]

Hey Chevy Dude! Man I love the passion you have for the Chevrolet Brand. Hope you can get your own Chevy store here soon! These new Colorados look amazing but price for me is a bit much. A new Activ or RS Trax is more in my budget (which the styling, tech, and features you get in the 2024 Trax is amazing IMO), but I digress. Have a good one Mike!

[@kristenburkett4274]

So question. Say the work truck for example. How much does changing the engine outputs have on the over all gas mileage? And if your from Indiana are you anywhere near the Terre Haute area? And would a 2016 with over 130,000 miles still be a good purchase for a reliable truck?

The tail gate stays are for 4x8 sheet rock or playwood

Excellent video Mike! I love your enthusiasm. The new Colorado trucks look awesome. I agree with you about the stop start feature. It is ridiculous and I am glad that there is an on off switch. The stop start feature is useless and does not help the environment. My next vehicle will not be a pickup truck, but I enjoyed your presentation. Here's to more videos such as this one.

[@NatesHomeTours]

Start stop wish there was a way to go into the settings and just turn it off, so you don't have to push the button every time you start the vehicle.

[@joeraptor1]

Nice truck but I wish they would have kept the longer 6 foot 2 inch bed from the previous generation. The short bed is useless for people that may need to use the truck for work purposes. I run a small lawn care company on weekends. This truck would have been great for that purpose but I would need the longer bed to get my equipment into the bed.

[@saltlakesuperman]

I think the ZR2 even gets a different 8-speed transmission than the others. Would love to see the same walkthrough of the 2023 GMC Canyon.

[@fiddy425]

The tailgate only dropping part way is so it lines up with the wheel wells and you can put a piece of plywood there and it lay flat.

[@ToyotaTacoma-js6on]

since you are a tall person, did you have enough head room and leg room in the front seat. As all mid size trucks, they have limited rear room in the rear seats for tall people.

[@franzvanjulio5523]

Good video, Mike! I enjoyed seeing the different models and what you presented to us. I’ve seen other videos about them already, so that something. I would have liked you to turn on the ZR2, but I think I weirdly only think that way after having you say that you weren’t going to desire Chevy saying it was okay. Not sure what principle in psychology applies there. That ZR2 is so cool looking. I know it’s expensive, too. Perhaps I may be one of those old guys that buys one some day. How do you think they compare with a full-size truck in teens of comfort? See, I’m revealing my old man eats already. Well looking forward to new ones from you. Be well.

[@shaine2243]

Hopefully they offer some sort of interior upgrade package to that Trailboss, I love the way it looks, can’t handle the low budget interior

[@alexanderradec]

entertaining and informative video, im a tacoma owner but i do loooove the sand dune color just wish they used black overlay instead of silver for the emblems and also have there been any issues with the engines being direct injection? i thought that was bad

[@badluck4823]

Not really sure about the excitement about the 6 lug wheels. All Colorado's have been 6 lug from '04, the first year. The first gen Colorado were the same lug pattern as the full size trucks (6x5.5"), but the hub bore was different so Silverado wheels wouldn't fit a Colorado without modification. The second gen Colorado was still six lug but changed lug pattern to 6x120mm. The wheels aren't interchangeable in either direction with the full size trucks. I'd be surprised if the 3rd gen is any different, the wheels most likely won't be interchangeable.

[@gordmonteath6090]

Thry are its been all over videos for several weeks

I am disappointed in my 2016 Canyon with the 4 cylinder. At 62,000 miles, the oil pump needs replacing. I have been working through the flow chart of repairs to get this diagnosis. My truck has not been perfect by no means. Busted heater core about three years ago, Shifter was replaced three times. Both of the last two repairs was corrected while under warranty. I’m just not sure if I would purchase another one. I’m hoping I will be getting my truck back next week. It fun to see all of the improvements the next generation will be getting.

I have been following you on Facebook for a while. I was absolutely stoked to find you on KZbin. Of course I liked/subscribed. Great review of all the trim levels and trucks. I definitely didn't feel like you were bias for or against the Colorado. Between the Z71 & ZR2, which one do you perfer?

[@indman101]

It's a much better looking truck then prior years I will give it that.

[@davida8052]

In my opinion all the plastic in the Trail Boss is a big miss. I like the look on the outside and the factory lift but the inside is a deal breaker. Also according to the configurator the LT is a lower trim / less expensive trim than the Trail Boss. It goes WT, LT, Trail Boss, Z71 then ZR2. Unfortunately if you want the off road truck and don't want the inside to be 100 percent plastic looking you have to spend another 10k for the ZR2. But I guess if I am going to spend 50k on a midsized ZR2 then maybe I should just look at 1500 Trail Boss. So may problems. Just wish they had an option on the Trail Boss to upgrade the inside.

[@ryanlavallee3239]

Yea cruise as an option is a joke, pretty sure no option for heated seats or led headlight is terrible. They think a lift is making up for these missing things that should be standard.

[@Agufish.]

👆Text me I have a surprise for you🎁.

[@iandavis8755]

I couldn't help but think when you mentioned the turbo lag, or lack of response...I wonder if the engine ECU has a baked in program where it doesn't allow the engine to make full power until the break-in period/ mileage threshold had been crossed first. This is what Ford did with cars like mine (Focus ST), and people thought the cars were lackluster from day one. The car was a completely different machine when it allowed the turbo to make full power. If this is the case with the 2.7 in these trucks, they should be an absolute hoot when they can make the full power. These vehicles are such a huge evolution over the outgoing generation, and it would seem the folks at GM are finally listening to what the marketplace has been telling them. I would imagine seeing these trucks everywhere this summer after dealerships here in Eastern Ontario start getting allotments...

[@calebniederhofer6529]

No lol, you can however add a flash tune for the high output.
