    At least you found a trail in CT! Of course it was gated at one end. It’s CT!
    A walk around of Robb’s truck would be cool. More trails and some camping would be good too.
    You’re off to a good start with your channel. Keep up the good work.

    It is nice to see people using trucks off-road like how 99% of people use them. I put my Ram down some sketchy trails when I was out on Vancouver Island, but I never went rock crawling, and I don't know anyone that does.
    I really like seeing the Chevy trucks, they get no love here on UA-cam, which seems odd to me given that the ZR2 is the most affordable/capable midsized truck.

    My z71 diesel is a beast. Ive pulled out other stuck 4x4s out of mud and snow. I've also never really got stuck, and even without a plow ive gone through some deep snow and mud holes lol

    i wish more videos showed what a Z71 can do, they are far more obtainable than the Awesome ZR2 due to pricing, but they are no joke.

      @@varsityoverland that would be excellent, i really wanna get my Z71 lvl'd and remove that gross air dam on the front and then start hitting beginner trails. i will also do many many videos. i just wish it wasn't so expensive to get it lvld and remove the air dam, both of these should be done from factory for the "Z71 Offroad" in my opinion.

      @@Wuldier removing the air dam is easy peasy DIY project that shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. It's some bolts and then you slide it out and it's loose. Leveling is a whole different story. Can definitely be done at home if you have the time and patience and feel up to the task. It's not easy but I also wouldn't say it's hard. Somewhere intermediate in the middle. Might be worth paying to have it leveled by a professional but I wouldn't pay a cent to have someone else remove the air dam. It's one of the easiest and simplest things you could do to a Z71. It's a shame that they even put it on what is an off road package. Definitely the most glaring "WTF" on the Z71s but it's also so easy to take off (and put back on if you so decide).

    Why did you choose the Colorado over the a Tacoma? I'm in the process of deciding which one to go with.

    • @varsityoverland
      @varsityoverland  2 роки тому +1

      Well I have a video from a few months ago describing why I picked the ZR2, but then I posted a video last week about whether I should've got a Tacoma 😅 so even after a year I still go back and forth in my head. Ultimately the stock lift, more aggressive tires, underbody protection and higher payload capacity were some of my factors. There was also a "unique" factor for me personally because I never see many others on the road but I see Tacomas all the time.
      In the end, get what works for you🤷‍♂️
