Things I Dislike About The 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2

[@patbromwell8701]

Fog lights should be a separate external switch you can use in a hurry when needed

It's Tina's truck. He has said it on multiple videos. So she picked this vehicle to drive. I totally appreciate a guy's view of it also. But also appreciate him saying it's Tina's vehicle. He has what works for him as a daily driver/ work truck.

[@billredding2000]

@@TJ-8 True...that's one of the things he "fears" re: the ZR2 -- Tina finding a scratch on it...and Jason says he's clueless how that could have happened even though he was the one who had out out last. Interesting though as this particular point wasn't on his list. ;-) -- BR

No matter how well we check new vehicles out before purchase we never seem to be able to catch these little annoying details until we own them. I've tried, even bring them home for a test drive, park in my driveway and go over in detail, but there's always something.

[@Jason-Samko]

Very true

[@mikes.4136]

I love this truck! No bed light is annoying, but fixable. Never thought about the visibility being adversely affected by the hood, but it’s good to know. Just wish Chevy would have continued to make an extended cab. Great review, Jason.

[@Jason-Samko]

We love this truck! It was really hard to find things to make this dislike video. And all of the dislikes are minor. Chevy nailed it with this truck

[@Jack-u2u2n]

Hood scoop is part of the reason I bought zr2, can't imagine how you will scoop mud in front grill,don't need to plug 6 phones in I rarely use mine when driving, glad I have 2019 model with v6,don't need to use premium fuel and get better mileage,more gadgets equals more things to go wrong.

[@Jason-Samko]

Cool. Sounds like we use our trucks much differently

[@17gt350]

Mud will easily get up by the grille and the skid plate if you off road this truck. This truck is a dedicated off road weapon.

[@Jack-u2u2n]

Yea I'm old school, before any electronic aids, although my zr2 has been over many colorado steep trails and have used crawl mode many times,and while have muddled fender wells,chassis and sides of truck never had issue mud coming in front grille but to each his own, happy trails

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

Jason I agree with you on all the things you pointed out about the truck. The fog light thing LOL 🤣 I don't really care about that but that's your preference and what works for you. There is a video on how to turn off that 3 beep when you leave the vehicle it's on KZbin. The name of the video is. Turning off remote left in vehicle alert. They're showing it on a different generation truck but maybe the same concepts will apply. Hope it helps

Thank you greatly. I will look that up

[@jedwin4816]

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. I dont need the razzle dazzle BS graphics/light shows and I can always do with less beeping and buzzing sounds. I like the hood. One thing GM doesnt get enough credit for is they have been doing a lot of interesting bending and shaping of their sheetmetal on a lot of their products over the last several years. Some of it subtle, some very bold like the hood on these GM twin mid-size trucks.

[@Jason-Samko]

Very true on the edges and contouring

[@tonymartucci7097]

[@alp2169]

Thanks for the vid. I agree with most points; lack of a HUD is definitely annoying, dealer even told me it had it when I test drove it only to find out that it didn't once I got it home. No power passenger seat and no power sliding rear window are two of my biggest gripes. FYI ... I synced the fogs to turn on with the headlights/parking lights with a simple wire jumper mod from BoostAuto. They also have another which syncs the rear center cargo light to turn on whenever the vehicle is unlocked or put in reverse.

[@Jason-Samko]

Good to know about the fog light jumper. And agree. This is a top level trim and should have those features

[@brennenbrooks7040]

There’s a $14 adapter you can purchase & splice into the parking lights so fogs will automatically come on when headlights come on at night. Easy install.

[@steveranelli3992]

Used points to buy the GM touch light kit for the bed for my Z71. All pre wired and easy. Do agree all but base model should have it. Nice that it can be turned off and on without going back into the cab. As a hunter grabbing gear or loading gear in the dark it’s great.

[@Jason-Samko]

Great idea about using the points for the bed light. Will check how many pointsni have and what it would cost

[@jamesb6216]

The horn beeps because it detects a key FOB left inside, or when the vehicle is left running, and when the key fob is removed to a certain distance from vehicle it's a safety alert on most GM vehicles. Annoying though, but it's for safety according to GM!

[@thebionicbassplayer]

I remember the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP had heads-up display technology in 1989. So for them not to display mph is a step backwards.

[@shannoncasper8670]

Nice truck. I'd prefer a knob to turn to change drive modes. My Frontier honks too of I get out with the fob in my pocket.

[@billredding2000]

I prefer an Old School transfer-case (Jeep). I recall the guy who took his "better than a Jeep" Bronco out off-road and the drive mode dial stopped working, would not go into 4WD and kept flashing an error message (telling him it it was unavailable). He was stuck in 2WD, but the trail he was on was not so bad he couldn't make it back out in 2WD. In a Jeep, while it DOES have electronics (lockers, sway/stabilizer-bar disconnect), when it comes to being in 2WD or 4WD you have to use the transfer case lever. Pretty bullet-proof compared to a dial as it's "old-fashioned mechanical" vs. electronic. Further, you have to "know more" driving a Jeep: When to use this or that drive mode vs. letting electronics figure everything out...but that's just another part of the Old School 4x4 scene. "Jeep Wave" -- BR

[@Jason-Samko]

I would prefer a nob on the zr2 rather than the buttons too

[@vetteguy6902]

I have a 24 Z71 and there's a company "seatbelt extender pro" and they have short ridged extenders that can plug in and eliminate all seatbelt bells and whistles, and you have normal seatbelt function. Just plug them in and forget it no more seatbelt chimes. Got them in my truck and they work great. No fault lights either.

[@Jason-Samko]

[@scotts9734]

Yeah, I had my Canyon built. I had bed lights as part of the order.

I own the exact same vehicle but in blue. Love everything about my new ZR2 except for the internal storage. I just came out of a 2022 Nissan frontier and the storage in that was way better! Actually every vehicle I’ve ever owned was way better. Even my old V6 Dodge Charger at least had stored under the seats

Jason, when you plugged in the Taser Mini into your Gladiator, does it void your warranty? Just curious.

It does not. It's not a tuner. It just turns on and off certain features.

[@LyleBoyd-w1j]

Hi Jason, I think I saw on another video where you can get an small metal adaptor [ like the end of your seatbelt ] which you plug into the seat belt which allows you not to have one on. Not the best for on road driving of course.

[@CurtGodwin]

I *think* the Canyon AT4X has a spedo in its HUD (or, at least, it's an option). I'm pretty sure that's to somewhat differentiate the Canyon and Colorado. Nevertheless, as you mention, your complaints are fairly nit-picky. The one complaint I have about my '24 ZR2 is the flimsiness of the roof, particularly going through a car wash. The air dryer REALLY pops that roof and can lead to a dent.

[@garysarratt1]

Has it?

[@Jason-Samko]

@@CurtGodwin yep very very little to complain about this truck. It's outstanding. The roof issue never worried me personally as I don't ever use those washes. Lost a mirror in one 25 years ago and never went to one again. Probably never will

[@keithhunt3437]

@@pleaseadoptusbro what? It’s funny because the Ranger Raptor really isn’t that expensive when compared to most full size trucks. Currently it’s the best value for what you get. Not the cheapest but getting the most for ur money u can’t beat it.

[@keithhunt3437]

Not gonna lie I was thinking about most of this as he was going through it. I love my Ranger Raptor but she has her faults too. I’ve come to realize that there’s really not a single midsize truck that does everything or have everything to beat out the others. Each truck is kinda missing that key thing. I’d say the TRD Tacoma is the closest but it’s just wayyyy to expensive and then you get no back seats. So maybe trail hunter is maybe the best overall? But again just to expensive

[@scottoneeleven]

Ranger Raptor has cam phaser issues. Looked at a new one yesterday and wanted it but can’t live with that paranoia. Can’t wait for my 2025 ZR2.

[@keithhunt3437]

@@scottoneeleven the cam phaser issue is being a bit over inflated. I really don’t think it’s effecting that many trucks. The ones that are seem to show up pretty early on so it covered. You could always get an extended warranty if it’s really that big a deal. If it does happen to ur truck it doesn’t mean it’s destroyed or gonna leave u stranded the noise goes away very quickly. Furthermore it seems like maintenance can make the difference. At least when concerning to the 3.5 eco. Obi not the same motor but the same idea. 2.7 L3B seems to be a great motor however the carbon build up would be something I’d worry about. Not to mention the engine has variable cam and cylinder deactivation in a freakin 4 cylinder. And to top it off the fuel mileage isn’t impressive at all so what’s the point of a 4 cylinder in the first place.

[@mrt3206]

If you get a new bumper for yours I would love to see you review the 589 Rallye Bumper they make for it. The thing I hate the most is that you can’t change out the LED Headlights because it’s a sealed housing. But if you get any other trim you can change out the low and high beams EASYILY.💩

[@Jason-Samko]

@mrt3206 that's the bumper that interest me. I think downtime lost has it on his channel and I really like it. Agree I honestly hate all factory led lights now. Expensive to replace and no better than a 50 dollar Amazon led bulb in a halogen housing. I've had 4 trucks with fsctor led and 7 trucks with halogen housing with Amazon led bulbs from lasfit, auxbeam, Hikari, etc. No advantage to the factory ones in my opinion

[@l33tm4ch1n31]

12:10 The reason why the Colorado doesn't have a HUD... is because the Canyon has the HUD. That's it. You got to differentiate the twins after all. GMC is the more luxury option after all more expensive too. Heck the AT4X has a flatter hood too. The only big down side is that dam white interior, looks nice though. Also the passenger seat is powered. That's the only real difference I think. Its kind of dumb imo, neither one gets a digital mirror. But if you jump into a Silverado it gets a HUD, digital mirror and shift paddles. What does the Sierra massage your ass? I'm rambling now.

[@Jason-Samko]

Great points

[@traebishop3846]

Chevy trucks feel giant, because of the length of the hood. I've test drove all of the American 2500's at this point, and despite the Silverado 2500HD being just as big as the F-250, it feels so much larger.

[@Jason-Samko]

[@geofx472]

I literally have the same truck, color, sunroof, packages, etc. Only addition is I got the underbody cameras. Once the stock tire wear out I’m hoping to go to 34’s or at least a legit 33 and call it a day. Had 35’s on my prior truck and I’m over it.

So I maintain them meticulously, as if I was going to keep them forever. Makes me feel good knowing who buys them gets that attention and care in the vehicle they buy. Plus it let's me sell higher than most. In the world of 10k oil changes and vehicles that do not get taken care of, I can get high dollar for mine when I find the buyers fhst understand the value of what I do to take care of them. So it's a 3 way win. I feel good selling it as perfect, buyer is excited knowing it's so well taken care of, and I get a little extra money for the effort

Don't think my Jeep horn-honks if I leave the key-fob in it (don't recall mine doing that), but I did turn off (disabled in settings) the horn honking when I locked the truck using the key-fob as I didn't want to disturb my apartment neighbors, especially when I came home late at night (be it parking in the general parking lot or in the apartment's attached garage). But I have a Jeep (2021 Gladiator) that allows you to do that, which I thought was a nice feature by the Jeep designers. Now it key-fob locks silently. However, some OTHER neighbors have that horn-honking "feature" (and we all hear them)...but I don't think they have any option to disable it. BTW, my 2021 Gladiator Rubicon was $50K back in April 2021 when I got it new off a dealer's lot ($50,263 exactly and ~$4500 under MSRP as-optioned).

The 3rd brake light is incandescent bulbs....yet EVERYTHING else is LED 😂...I did find LED replacement bulbs so that's coming soon The need to turn off half the tech just to back up with the tail gate down or hooked to a trailer. Truck thinks your gonna hit something when backing up 😂 can't really do much about that one either. Things I've fixed or soon to fix Bypassed the Auto Start Stop. Installed extended hood struts so the hood can be opened higher. Relocated the axle breather. Waiting for Z1 to send my larger under seat bin.

@@Jason-Samko I don't recall old cars that made noises when you didn't click in the seatbelt didn't have the option to turn it off either so you just clipped it behind you. Only scenarios where we did that though were in our crownvics and Impalas when I was doing MP work in the service.

@kabloosh699 ford trucks since 2008 have "ranch mode" thst let's you disable the sest belt chime and my gladiator had the tazer mini that disables it

So disrespectful for a dealership to assume that you want a crappy sticker on Your car!

[@Jason-Samko]

Definitely a bummer place to put it too. But thanks for reminding me I need to clean the gope off there. I was gonna do it today and forgot again

[@donc6781]

@@Jason-Samko I don’t even want their damn license plate frames either

[@peterdanese3823]

Just wait until all those fancy GM screens don’t turn on.

[@pleaseadoptus]

They're easily replaced from Amazon. I thought that too but they're pretty generic. Some even better than factory

[@Getusom]

Could happen in any vehicle. They all buy them from the same place. But keep dreaming your brands is better.

[@jedwin4816]

Very true. I'm sure hoping that there will be competent people to fix them in the future.

[@peterdanese3823]

Yeah not just GM just worrisome an industry trend to throw nothing but screens in vehicles vs analog gauges. I guess it’s almost 2025, so that’s what the average consumer wants.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@peterdanese3823 zero concerns. I will not own it beyond the extended warranty

You wanna know the 6 things I hate about the ZR2, I don't have one, I don't have one, I don't have one, I don't have one, I don't have one, I don't have one!!! THE END! 🤣😂

You can turn off the seatbelt.

[@Nathan-jq2ou]

Those lights on your dash are just red LEDs, if someone wants a heads up display they order there truck with one, the beeping can be turned off in the settings it's under the vehicle options

Bed is too short, and not enough towing capability

[@Jason-Samko]

Sounds like it's not the truck for you then

[@mikeschlup5279]

Way too many options and complexity.. will drive my 2007 until I tow it to the junkyard...

[@KratosDefiled]

It's the wife's vehicle, stay out of it, use your gladiator for your hunting needs. Dont drive HER vehicle. 😐

[@Jason-Samko]

You sound just like her😂

[@Nathan-jq2ou]

Bedlights are an option if you had ordered your truck with them you wouldn't have to add them afterwards that's how ordering a vehicle works

I just bought the 2024 tacoma trail hunter in the underground color it is a beast it has 465 foot pounds of torque at only 1,700 RPMS and it sounds so good when driving very satisfied 🎉🎉

[@Jason-Samko]

And no denying it's amazing amazing truck. I personally know 4 people with 24 tacomas. And everyone of them absolutely love it!

[@rj-me3fh]

That is NOT an off road vehicle! Its a shiny mall crawler designed to navigate speed bumps and level dirt roads. Get yourself an off road buggy/side by side...

Why did you buy the truck if you have so many complaints, you are a freaking Whiner!

[@Jason-Samko]

Thanks. Need a good chuckle this morning
