Is the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison the KING of new midsize trucks?

[@pewpewtactical5288]

I’m a press break operator and recently received a brand new machine… as I was going through it with the engineer I said about one specific component, “that’s a zonk.” And he smirked at me knowing exactly what I was referencing. Keep up the excellent reviews it’s gained a lot of traction 👌👍

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Good demonstration of what the Colorado Bison can do in the Florida sugar sand. It looks like the auto manufacturers are starting to utilize camera technology for these off-road vehicles.

[@michellescaturro1581]

Well, I was hoping it would come with a lower price tag, but I may have to go out and get it, esp in that nitro yellow. Love it!!

[@mariowhyte7848]

This definitely is one of your most hilarious reviews Joe!!! Zonks galore!!! Chevy and AEV got a lot right with this rig but maaaaaan they dropped the ball with the finer details. Awesome review as usual Joe!!! On throttle!!!

[@whocaresjustdoit]

I love this truck! Seriously looking to buy it but the only con for me is the giant tire in the bed. Can't mount a GFC in the bed with the tire and even if that's possible, the tire would take up too much space. Mount it on a swing gate andI lose the 360 camera. There's no easy solution to this :( Great review as always Joe! There's no way I'm picking the Tacoma TRD Pro over this Bison.

[@fidelbanuelos9601]

The solution is to leave the spare at home and carry a tire kit.

[@Dan-mc7xg]

$50k+ for a 4 banger... what the hell is this world going to?

[@mmancino1982]

Not only that but manual passenger seat, manual rear window, cheap plastic. Screw this. My Silverado Trail Boss, albeit not nearly as capable off road, was less than this and the interior is much nicer, the 3L diesel is phenomenal on torque and MPG. That 4 banger just sounds like total ass

[@davidp2888]

Such a subtle color! 😂😂 Great review as always, Joe.

[@atg1338]

Looks so much better then the ranger

No,,,it doesnt,

[@glenarseneau1231]

By far

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

I would probably get the Colorado in Elevation Trim loaded or a GMC Canyon AT4 loaded with 4x4 for about $46k, they are geared a bit more street/road friendly and they get around 18 mpg city and 21 mpg on the highway.

[@addams40]

I think you are about $20K short on the price of a Canyon AT4X

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

@@addams40 - I said the AT4, they sell an AT4 and an AT4X, AT4 is around $46K

[@FreshlyBaked13]

As a kid i remember my dad buying a loaded f350 v8 diesel dulley with the full four doors and 8 foot bed. It mas a massive truck which he used to haul trailers with. To this day I still remember the sticker on it .. $67,000.00.

[@brandodurham]

Yeah those old trucks were garbage other than the engine. Probably cost them 20k to build

[@OntarioGuy430]

I just got a Canyon AT4X 2 weeks ago. I wanted a ZR2 Bison - but it just wasn't available locally or for order. Somehow, even in that colour it looks awesome! I have been terrible at trading in my vehicles lately so I am going to really try to drive my AT4X into the ground (hopefully at least a decade ha-ha) - I will probably add in the Multimatic jounce control dampers though. I already scratched the rear bumper (paint pen to the rescue) but those metal bumpers would have been really nice to have!

[@pfwww12]

I don't get these comments. Must be old people that doubt new technologies in Engines. 310 Horsepower 435 lbft Torque Tow 5k Pounds Fully off road capable Newest Innovation Infotainment Awsome Sporty Truck Design ...and these Ppl commenting still believes this truck is only worth 30k like it's 2002. The Innovation doesn't mean bad quality. I think GM got their mechanics right....why else would Multiple Asian brands want their EV platform💡

[@michaelsmelley4382]

Multiple Asian brands want their ev platform because of government regulations forcing them to go that way, lol also it’s well known EV vehicles parts (especially their batteries) are way more expensive to fix then their gasoline counter parts. Example. My friend has his Tesla battery changed recently for $22,000, And he had it for 7 years so far. I had my Hyundai Elentra battery changed after 6 years and it cost me $125. I only spend $110 on gas normally per month; so even after 7 years, I still saved more money with my economy car than he did with his Tesla model y.

[@adamant3316]

45-50K sure I get it because its a top of the line mid sized truck. 65K is insane

[@pizzaparty-r1c]

$20k to build, $45k for the CEO's next bonus.

[@waheed502]

Many trips to the gas station in your future with this truck lol, while the TRD PRO guy in his luxurious interior drives by 😂

[@thechazz8080]

Well when you look at the Ranger raptor that thing has over 400 horse power, Can tow up to 5.5k It actually handles pretty well and doesn’t just look sporty, And has that big screen and it’s only 5.8 you get confused. And I believe you can go to the ford dealer to get some kind of an update and it gives you another 50 horse power or something

[@EasyOhh]

Just picked up one in black the other day. Drives and handles like a dream, and the 4 banger turbo max puts out plenty of power and then some without effort (coming from a NA V6 truck before this). The spare tire in the bed is obstructive, but that’s why you have side view mirrors and a rear view camera that can be accessed even while driving. I’d rather have it mounted as is rather than on a swing gate or mounted on a slant in the center minimizing bed space even more.

[@DerekBackofen]

I’m in love with this truck so badass looking I love the rear tire on the back like that trophy truck style is insane

[@darrenkiehn6165]

I really do wish we could see some outside of the vehicle videos when you’re driving around that would be cool. Enjoy everything about it though.

[@pfwww12]

First Chevy I'd say I'd pick over a Ford wow. This is best looking Mid Size Pick Up Truck. Even tho I know Fords capability it's just a notch up from GM. Still wow! Give me this Truck!

[@stevejordan9567]

I’m pretty sure I’m going to get a bison. I had a 2019 and miss it. Good fun for living in Colorado.

[@PopeyeFPV]

Great looking truck actually. I like it. However, those yella seatbelts get a zonk for sure. Nice review Joe!

[@DarkJediChrisG-1425]

Hey Joe, I do recall, there's spot for a truck in the Raiti's Rides fleet? Catch my drift? 😏😎

[@KHtally]

Great video brother! Best review yet.

[@wiilli7685]

Wow! It should’ve been a V6 for that price tag.

[@greg8828]

Curious if the antenna will interfere with putting on roof racks, rooftop tents or anything like that. Also the spare eats up a lot of the bed perhaps an aftermarket mount on the tailgate will free up some space, guess it depends on what kind of off roading/overlanding you do and how much gear you need. Great review!!

[@sulymanabdulwasiu5020]

I actually like the color makes everything pop just not a fan of the engine. The rest of competition are downgrading with their engines not feeling that move

[@arthurmanderson4892]

That is a very stout motor and when the tunes come out along with turbo mods that thing will easily and reliably make 400hp. it is a big block 4 with all forged internals. Built tough like a diesel, but it's a gasser.

[@TimeAttack2003]

The srt4 engine was loved by many. This engine is quite similar but larger displacement and significantly higher output

[@HemiLeo392]

66k that's up there

[@BroncoLife4ever]

The diff lockers are meant to be used like that tho, just pointing that out but def an awesome truck

[@davidadams6811]

[@quentintheriot18]

Great review man! Always love the content! Can I make a request for a video on the 2024 Silverado 1500 LZO 3.0 Duramax?

[@krasnaludek298]

Just my opinion, but the ZR2 Colorado is by far the best looking mid-size truck & nothing else is even close. The Ranger Raptor is a distant 2nd & Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is 3rd. Factor pricing & Chevy is the best value in the segment.

[@philiplee7877]

It is pretty good looking. Only one that may be better looking is the new Trail Hunter. I just test drove one of those and they are pretty cool

[@bryy2053]

Revving the engine sounds like a vacuum with a whistle, but in gear taking off it sounds a little like a baby diesel which I like.

[@greatestaccesstutorialever8295]

Traded my 23 Z71 in for a 23 RIdgeline (honestly it's just more usable), but love the look of the Colorados. Saw a silver BIson today near where I work - beautiful truck (that will probably never see offroad, but whatever!)
