🔴 Why is the Chevrolet Colorado underrated?🤔 🏆2024 Ford Ranger Sets a New Standard in the Truck Market WATCH HERE 👉ua-cam.com/video/7fjKOtOTnpY/v-deo.html
Some other Cons regarding the 2024 Colorado: (1) No power passenger seat offered in any trim level, (2) No garage door opener available in any trim level, (3) Glitchy infotainment system despite all updates applied, and (4) Blind spot mirrors alerting drivers at random times despite no vehicles on either side of the truck.
I got one of the remaining 2022 long bed Canyons before they disappeared from the lots. It sure is nice to have the full bed available and make fewer cuts on tree branches to haul them away. Plan to maintain my truck for 20+ years. Especially if long beds are never offered again.
Not being able to get a long bed option now is ridiculous. I have a 2017 Colorado Z71 diesel and had to drive across 3 states to get the long bed back in 2017. I want a new mid-size truck but pissed there is no long bed option.
I have a 2018 Colorado extended cab with standard 6 foot and was planning to buy a 2024 4wd crew crew cab, until I found out no 6 foot bed option. I hauled a twin mattress the other day and fit perfectly and I had a tonneau cover on it, then it stormed. Was nice and dry! A 5 foot bed would have soaked my $600 mattress! 5 foot beds are useless!
My 2017 only has 27k miles but has been in the dealer for mechanical work 5x since 2017. I would keep it but I'm afraid more will go wrong outside of warranty and cost me $$$$
Love the Colorado, but it has horrible blind spots. Add a roll bar/sport bar to it and you have serious issues. The cab is narrow and the windows angle in so much that you're probably going to find yourself hitting your forehead against the window as you try to turn to look toward the blind spot on the left side. It's also annoying to have to duck your head so much to get in, if you're 6' or taller. GM needs to bring back the 4.3l V6 and put that in this truck. Overall, I still enjoy driving it, but it could benefit from slight changes that shouldn't add much at all to the price.
Will this engine out perform later year‘s models in terms of reliability? Especially the V6 models? If you keep this truck for life or say up to at least five years with off-roading and it’s of the capabilities, will it last as long as it’s processor? Time will tell. The question is are you willing to sacrifice.
I owned an S-10 for 14 years. 2.2 4 cylinder, 5 speed. Simple truck. 30 mpg on the road. It was replaced with a larger truck that gets about the same mpg as a full size. I don't get it.
Um...its called revamping the old style and making the new motor fuel efficiency. I had the same type of S-10 for 22 years (2000-2022) and I never got more then 19 miles a gallon, so I know youre lying. Now I get 22 miles a gallon with my 2022 V6 Colorado 4x2.
I have the 3.6 in my 2021. I plan on keeping it for a while. If the 2.7 passes the test of time? I may make it my 3rd chevy collorado. Towing capacity is not my highest priority. I'm more a gas mileage and longevity guy. Both my 18 and 21 came with the v-6 and I'm fond of it.
I just got one of the WT trim models at my work. It doesnt even have cruise control. The truck is driven all day every day. The Gas mileage sits right at 22.2 mpg average in the last month.
I have a 2023 Colorado truck my company gifted me, and this thing is patently ridiculous. I would not buy one in a million years. Yet another case of what is so common these days with high-tech doo-dads, “Did the people who designed this thing every actually use it themselves?” It’s not a truck, really - it’s a device. Push-button start: Who decided after 100+ years of automotive history that we can’t start a vehicle without first pushing the brake pedal? Then there’s the 6-lb. remote brick. Am I the only one who’s wondered what happens when this thing quits working someday? And it WILL happen. There is a built-in key thing to unlock the door and get you inside, but for what? To get out of the rain? That’s about it, because you won’t be going anywhere. And what will it cost to replace the brick and get it re-programmed when it breaks or you lose it?
When you start the truck, you get a big screen warning that you should keep your eyes on the road and not spend too much time operating this system... that you have to operate to do or engage practically anything beyond A/C controls. It does go away when you put the truck in gear, but you have to acknowledge “okay” to access any on-screen menus while in “Park” with the engine running. Okay fine, I’ll play along just to get rid of it. But, in a couple of weeks it’s back! Does anyone really want to be pestered like this every couple of weeks for the next 5-10 years? The dash is full of gloss black switches and accent trim that reflect sunlight right into your eyeballs in the early afternoon when the sun is high in the sky. Who knew that gloss black was as reflective as chrome? Well, it is! Ditto with the chrome-trimmed Chevy cross emblem on the steering wheel. I have to keep a hand towel in the truck to throw over the screen and shiny 45-degree buttons below it when I’m driving mid-day. Other buttons at the very bottom below the screen and 45-degree buttons, you can’t read the nomenclature during the day to see what their function is. The center console surrounding the gear shifter is the same gloss black plastic. After a few months, mine’s all scratched up. And I don’t put anything on it except my phone. Could they have picked a more scuff-prone material than gloss black plastic? Good grief. Speaking again of the dash, it has more little warning icons than you can shake a stick at. Who knows what they’re all for? And more icons on the steering wheel buttons. You have to learn sign language if you drive this POS. I think my favorite is the one that lets you know there’s another vehicle in front of you. Nice to know I’ll still able to drive when I go blind. And a totally useless set of gauges. Who cares what the temperature of the engine oil and transmission oil is? Give us something useful like the standard oil pressure and volt or amp meter. There’s a “not-a-feature” that randomly shuts the engine off at red lights, and then re-starts when you let off the brake or push the gas. Really nice in the summer to have the A/C go warm on you while waiting for the light to turn green. And it’s totally random. Sometimes it’ll shut off every time you stop, other times it won’t do it for days at a time. There is a shiny black reflective button to disable it, but you have to disable it every time you start the truck. Simply irritating. It never occured to the great minds at General Motors that people buying the “work truck” might need to idle it for extended periods of time. Nope. No one in Corporate ever took it out to a job site themselves. The engine shuts down every fifteen minutes, unless you move the gear selector out of “park” and back. Or re-start it when it shuts down. If it shuts down while you’re away from the truck, you get three quick horn chirps after you come back and open the door. Just in case you can’t figure out that the engine has stopped running. Sometimes you get two quick horn chirps when you open the door. Don’t know what it’s complaining about when that happens. In addition to learning sign language, you also gotta know Morse Code to use this truck. I like listening to music when I drive, so it irritates me greatly that the bass and treble controls are buried layers deep in the stupid menus. Even worse, if you’re listening from your phone, you have to exit CarPlay and go back to the home page to get to the tone controls. That scream you hear is me pulling my hair out. Speaking of CarPlay, sometime it just totally checks out. There’s a light for the truck bed. I mean, I can see it, but I haven’t figured out how to turn it on. Why can’t there just be a switch on the dash? Jeez. The overhead console is totally useless. Do we need a bright, blaring sign to tell us the “Passenger Air Bag is Off” when there’s no passenger? And the “Passenger Air Bag is On” when there is? In addition, the overhead console renders the sun visors too short to cover the full length of the door window when you need to block the sun from the side. Other little irritations abound. Take it to your mechanic and he asks, “What’s the mileage?” Can’t get that info without starting the truck. Leaving for an out-of-town trip in the morning and want to double-check your fuel level? Gotta start the engine to see the gauge. Want to move the wiper arms into a position to easily change the blades? Gotta start the engine to do that. One feature I did like, the auto door locking function, was poorly executed. If I need to go around and get my cooler out of the passenger seat, the doors lock before I can get there. If the doors auto-lock and then you unlock them with the push button on the door handle, the smart truck isn’t smart enough to re-lock them again when you leave. Often I’d go out to leave and find the doors unlocked and wonder what happened. So, what should have been a nifty feature turned out to be yet another nuisance. Fortunately, it can be disarmed somewhere deep in the menu system. Then you can be responsible for locking the doors yourself with the remote, like in the good old days of dumb (but not irritating) cars. The seat covers are some kind of coarse mesh fabric. Don’t eat anything in the truck - you’ll never get the crumbs cleaned out of it. The system really doesn’t like it when you leave the truck with the brick in your pocket. Fortunately, the complaining horn-honk can be disabled, but geez: If you’re gonna design a system that doesn’t require a physical key to be attached to the truck, it should expect that sometimes it’s going to walk away. Duh! About the only good thing I can say about this DEVICE is that it has awesome leg room, which my 6’ husband loves.
Why Chevy would put google/google maps is a large mistake. In order to have either you need to maintain internet connection. Maps don’t store but are loaded via internet and google maps only give very limited trip plans. Garmin would have been a better choice. The whole thing is a subscription scam. OnStar, satellite radio and then possible internet. Not to mention no auto wipers, no garage door connection and limited options to play your own music. Not to mention that OnStar is in court explaining why they sell your driving data. Data and voice but that is coming out. However I do love my 2024 Z71.
The quality of the gm trucks continue to decline, they have a HUGE amount of engine and transmission problems.And it's because of they are spending all there money on electric vehicles.And has vehicle quality suffers

lacking hybrid is a strength, not a weakness
I agree 100%
Yeppers
100% agreed!!!
Rear Leaf Springs is a weakness? Total B.S.!!!
straight facts
“This engine is turbocharged so you get power in an instant” hahaha. Does this author understand Turbo Chargers?
means you get 350ftlbs @ 1500 RPM instead of 4k rpm in the 6.0ls

No 6 foot bed offered !
Please don’t ditch the leaf springs. It’s still a truck. It’s not an insult that it “rides like a truck”

What Ranger Raptor are you comparing the Colorado ZR2? The one that hasn't hit the market yet?
It's been available overseas for a while now.

@@YourName-jm7lz LOL, either your truck was broke or you can’t drive a lick.
Good looking truck! Does it stay running?
I have the 3.6 in my 2021. I plan on keeping it for a while. If the 2.7 passes the test of time? I may make it my 3rd chevy collorado. Towing capacity is not my highest priority. I'm more a gas mileage and longevity guy. Both my 18 and 21 came with the v-6 and I'm fond of it.
My phone chargers dont work, and neither does the pad!
Love my 23 zr2

How do you like the WT?

Thanks for this btw really took a lot of it to mind
GenZ are designing it and put the latest tech in them and I doubt they even drive them!
It’s great for towing cause it has high torque not cause it has a turbo 😂😂😅😅

Bad review. The WT with the standard 2.7 is plenty powerful. You don’t need to high output for regular use.
Is the wireless phone charger the same exact part as the 2023 version? If so it’s a worthless POS
Get a Colorado if you want endless electical/electronics problems and random dead batteries.
This sounds a lot like a paid advertisement...
More crap to break is not a good thing. Chevrolet did it correctly.
Nobody would buy this truck for work. Truck is too small.
GM, enough said.
yup, Great Motors!
2.7L Gas engine build like a Diesel..... Clueless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Built like" it doesnt say built just like....get a "clue" buddy.
It had lots of diesel technology
yea forged bottom end is what they mean
The quality of the gm trucks continue to decline, they have a HUGE amount of engine and transmission problems.And it's because of they are spending all there money on electric vehicles.And has vehicle quality suffers
Seriously?? Turbo engine nobody asked for.....no long bed option. Way overpriced (but everyhing is these days).
