You’re preaching the truth my friend! The Colorado shift knob is so close that I can grab the knob, push the release to shift button with one finger and the auto start stop button with my thumb in one motion.

@ I bought my wife an 03 Durango new with 3 miles on it . We had it for 22 years and it was hers alone. Our kids have nicer vehicles than ours now. She didn’t want to get rid of the 22 year old Durango because it was in great shape for a Michigan ride but, she absolutely loves the 24 Bison! Small enough to wheel around in the city and Target parking lots but, just big enough to command road respect from the minivans and Wranglers during the commute. No more getting cut off by Karens. Didn’t mean to put down your Jeep there but there’s a lot around here. I really do hope that your wife likes it as much as we do. Great in the city, a marshmallow on the trails however, if your kids are 6’2”, tell them to get their own damn truck!! Lol!!

Sorta like low flow toilets. Instead of 4 GPF, flush it once and you're done, you have 1.6 GPF toilets that you need to flush 3 or 4 times however many times you WYA to keep the thing from stopping up. And it ends up using even more water.

That's the first button I hit every time I start my new Gladiator. I've worked with engines enough to understand the constant start/stop cycles are not good for longevity. I agree, if you sell the car every few years it doesn't matter.

[@billredding2000]

Well, IMO it should matter: Think about the next owner (not just yourself) and do him/her a favor. I do. ;-) Not only less wear & tear on the truck for the next owner, but so far my auxiliary battery is holding up well, too (after 3.5 years of ownership) as that's not easy to access for replacement if it fails. But then I keep a de-sulfator hooked up to my main/aux batteries so that helps them last longer as well. Point is, I take care of my vehicles not only because I care about that for myself, but as a result the next owner gets a very nice/proven used vehicle...and any leftover (factory/OEM) extended warranty I can transfer over to him/her as well. -- BR

[@Xandil]

​@@billredding2000I hope to be that altruistic one day, but for now I don't care what happens with the car after I trade it in. I used to be that way with my motorcycles only to see them all get trashed soon after selling them, so I lost interest in caring about subsequent owners. My vehicles are well cared for, but it's not in the interest of resale or whoever owns them next.

[@billredding2000]

@@Xandil Well, as I said, it's in MY interest while I own/use it. The future owner benefits from it by default, that's all I was saying..and I feel good about that.

The start stop function is based on how hard u push the break pedal. If u come to gradual stop not pushing the break pedal hard the Engine will not shut off. My start stop honda , I never turn that shit off and the engine never stops, because I dont push the pedal down to hard. Try it. Youll see.

[@LibertyOrD___h]

Just has the potential for more issues as the vehicle ages, also starting the engine is when the most wear occurs as oil pressure builds…. My view point on vehicles is it’s a tool and priority number 1 is reliability, number 2 are basic safety features like heat/ac and airbags, but nowhere on my list is having the engine shut off whenever it decides

I think the new 24 tacomas are the only ones I have seen that don't have this feature

[@hellodrjeckyl]

I always turn mine off every time Istart the engine. Not only does that auto start/stop put additional wear and tear on your vehicle but the manufacturers built in an electronic limiter on the number of times your starter can operate. Every time your starter is used is counted and once that set number is reached the computer will throw a code and won't let you start the car until it is replaced, even if the starter is still functional. This number is in the hundreds of thousands, but if the engine is shutting off at every stop light that number will be reached much quicker.

[@bduclos]

Same truck minus the sunroof that you hate, the underbody camera which I skipped, and I didn't spring for the upgraded sound system. If you find a satisfactory way around the auto start feature with an aftermarket solution I would love to hear about it. I wish all the manufacturers if they're going to stick us with this stupid feature would at least go to a last setting used state for the button. Then that makes it a non-issue and then you can have it if you want it but not be annoyed every time if you don't. I agree with you it makes a negligible impact on emissions and almost no impact on gas mileage but it definitely puts wear and tear on the car. While you're at it I haven't really investigated the rear diff breather much on this car but according to some of the Colorado forums it might be a one-way valve. Curious if that's what you end up finding out and whether or not you put a breather kit on this

[@Jason-Samko]

Have not had time to research and a.s.s button bypass yet but plan too. When I take the truck over I will do diff relocation. I will use the are kit again like I did on my tacoma. Great kit. But I don't trust the little valves. Being below waterline

Colorado has a crap ton of fail-safes.

Hi Jason - congrats on the ZR2. Love it! I’m in the same boat as you all as I have a 2021 4Runner and I’m considering trading it in for the Colorado ZR2. Question, or maybe a possible future video, what is the difference in the ride on the highway and which would you say is more comfortable, from a ride comfort perspective on a road trip. I love the 4Runner and the interior space, but with the shorter wheel base compared to a truck, I’ve wondered if a truck would have a bit better ride in comparison. Thoughts to share as you have both in your driveway? Thank you for your vids. Great information and well made.

There's a company called auto stop I think that's the name but I guess the govt is trying to get rid of them

[@Jason-Samko]

Thank you

[@tomcarey3457]

My first stall at a redlight is my reminder to turn it off

[@Whiskeybende]

Disable the DOD too.

[@alex-mq8rm]

Good points man, people dismiss the A-S-S and how unhealthy it is for the vehicles.

[@lulop022882]

Well Mr..your idea and my idea of an ASS button totally differs..Great informative video nonetheless 👍🏻

Why hate Toyota? They are so popular, i dislike them for being boring, but that’s all

[@Jason-Samko]

They lie cheat steal from their customers too much for me and they have zero customer care anymore

I hate that stupid system. I always turn mine off however to Jeep. Gladiator to the vehicles totally warmed up before it uses it. I watch the 45 minute show on.

Chevy replacing the 4 runner!!!! 😍😍😍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Jason-Samko]

4runner is great. But time to move on

[@TheZR2Kid]

@ yeah I understand. I guess now instead of you having to pick a ZR2 or a gladiator you got them both!!!! I know you are against off Roading more than you have to, but it would be a shame to never even slightly use them/ it. Just my opinion though. Glad you got the best of both worlds!

[@Jason-Samko]

@TheZR2Kid i have a feeling it will see some off road use

[@darylhill9400]

American flags with Chinese parts

[@shannoncasper8670]

I'm in such a habit of hitting the button as soon as I start my truck. Several times I have hit the button and get mad because my truck won't start and something's wrong. Then I realize I'm hitting the wrong button.

[@Jason-Samko]

😂😂 yep I'm forcing myself to get into the habbit

[@jawzzy3]

Had that thing running for the first 500 miles on my zr2... am I a goner?😆

[@Jason-Samko]

Call the scrap yard😂😂

[@puncht37]

Yep. Engine killer, starter killer, everything killer.

[@Jason-Samko]

Agree

My Ford truck has a manual process to turn off seatbelt chime: Before following the procedure, make sure that: * The parking brake is set. * The transmission is in park (P). * The ignition is off. * All vehicle doors are closed. * The driver seatbelt is unbuckled. 1. Switch the ignition on. Do not start the engine. 2. Wait until the seatbelt warning light turns off (about one minute). You must complete Step 3 within 30 seconds after the seatbelt warning light turns off. 3. Buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt three (4 ?) times at a moderate speed, ending with the seatbelt in the unbuckled state. After Step 3, the seatbelt warning light turns on. 4. While the seatbelt warning light is on, buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt. After Step 4, the seatbelt warning light flashes for confirmation. * This will switch the feature off if it is currently on. * This will switch the feature on if it is currently off

[@Jason-Samko]

Yep used to do that in all my f150s so I didn't have to deal with the seat belt chime in the woods

[@officer3054]

That button should say epa crap from big government, that does a half of a % of saving fuel!

[@Jason-Samko]

@@officer3054 😂 agree

[@Jaredius]

Now do cylinder disable.

[@pedrolabrada5591]

There are ways to disable it all together!

[@DelightfulDirtBike-fd9xo]

Have hit that button so many times on my 2020 Silverado that the engine doesn't even shut off anymore.

[@Jason-Samko]

Perfect

[@doublej963]

Same here,i don't see the point.

[@Enriqued305]

I would choose a gladiator or Colorado over a taco

[@Jason-Samko]

Me too

[@RocksNRuts4]

truck shopping i see on add ons list - start/stop disabler installed.....so the gov demands it then doesnt care its disabled? lol

[@crafty24]

I hate the Auto Start/Stop. Can the cylinder deactivation be disabled by the dealer or a mechanic with a scan tool?

[@Jason-Samko]

Not sure

[@dougyoung3896]

I've had the afm deleted out of 4 chevy trucks ! I run the range afm delete while the truck is under warranty In case it needs to go in for service . I can just pull it out ! Once warranty is over I have a friend with a gm scan tool that deletes it . Anything that works off a computer can be deleted with the right tool !
