- What it do UA-cam?! I've been frustrated lately. Check Engine Light keeps coming on, and then going off. The day of my appointment at the dealership, the CEL was off, so they said they can't help. I tried taking it to AutoZone, they weren't able to help. THEN to top if all off, while recording this video, my infotainment is being unresponsive.

So since when is a truck that’s built for the trails have to have heated seats and leather steering wheels? Sounds like you want a pavement princess and should have gotten a different trim.
My thoughts exactly when I watched this. If he wanted the "nicer" stuff, should've got the Z71
100% heated seats are nice to haves.....but def should be standard in a $42.5k MSRP new truck in 2023!
@scootersstuff not when that truck is based on a work truck. And at 42k it might be expensive based on pre-pandemic prices but the average cost of a new car is $48k.
@@scootersstuffdidnt you know what you where buying? If it was too expensive why did you go with it?
There are trails in colder states
The Trail Boss interior was designed to have that "cheap" interior, plastic door panels, steering wheel, dash, etc was made for off roaders that when you get it dirty inside everything wipes down and cleans easier, I have the Z71 - 2023 - and I have alot nicer materials - door panels, leather steering wheel, seats, red stitching everywhere etc, and yes I needed the heated seats so I went with the Z71, the 2023 colorado is only slightly larger on the inside than the previous 2015- 2023s, I did learn by accident that when you hold down the unlock button on the keyfob for 5 seconds or more all of the windows will automatically lower themselves if the truck is running or not, I will have to pay attention to that when its raining or snowing or just in a shopping center parking lot, I guess it was made to let the heat out before you get in the truck? as for price nothings cheap anymore the average price of new vehicles is around $40,000 which puts it in the same price as the Tacoma and Frontier
Could you tell me what you paid out the door for your z71? I’m definitely considering buying one! Thanks
Why did you buy this truck obviously didn't do any research. 😢
pay more upgrade to higher trim
@@LennyHong-n6v Really your going to reply on a post over a year old. If you want to UA-cam stay current.
This is why I went with the GMC Canyon. Much nicer interior appointments, plus heated seats, more soft touch areas, and high out put engine with 310hp and 430ft lbs torque. Higher lift, better tires, and the list goes on and this is with the entry level Elevation trim.
Costs a lot more too.
@@gmodesike 42k with destinations charges, and TTL.
I agree. Had a 2022 canyon elevation. First truck and loved it. Lost it to an accident a year later. Got the 2023 AT4 and love it even more
Yeah that’s the exact same for the zr2. Same out put and everything. The at4x and the zr2 are literally the same truck.
My 2017 ZR2 has zero issues 47 thousand miles. Love it.
Right there with you. I have the 2018 ZR2, 36,000. Like you, zero issues.
Who buys a mid size truck for a family of four or five including larger teenagers?
You have a good point about the absence of a physical knob to turn the lights on.
Still a nice looking truck. Looking into the ZR2. Problem is you're right, prices are inflated. Consumer still pays it and these manufacturers are seeing they can get away with it sadly.
So inflated 50k for a Tacoma…
Inflation doesn’t mean manufactures and suppliers are indiscriminately charging more. It means across the entire economy, things cost more because the dollar has lost value. In most cases, business profit margins are thinner in times of inflation.
Yes people still paying it but madly. we all still need vehicles to buy but we have no choice if we need the new vehicle.
I got my Nissan frontier at sticker price
They ain’t getting away with it with me! I’ll keep my 2018 Colorado LT 4x4 Crew Cab with a long box that is no longer offered with this new generation. When I’m ready for a new truck, it damn sure won’t be GM
Could be a simple low battery. New cars can have batteries sitting for over a year. Put a topping charge on it and see if the check engine light stays off or not. Modern vehicles are extremely sensitive to battery voltage especially ram trucks
Correct
Also, this model does not have a gas cap. Make sure the flap is creating a good seal. Will throw a check engine light as well.
May want to check your fuses. Roughly half of the fuses in my Colorado weren't completely seated and needed to be pushed down. Also, holding down the hang up phone button will reset your infotainment screen.
That's a great tip on the hang up phone button! Thanks!! I'll check the fuses too for sure, cheers
The radio screen gets really hot burn my fingers. 😢. The check engine is on ,battery died on the nex day and have a lot code on it screens engine and transmission,brake light ect everything going bad 😢😢😢. I throw to the thrash my money 😢
EXACTLY! I have a 2024 ZR2 and found the same thing. After seeing vids of it, the day I brought it home I fixed that so it could never be an issue.
Unhook your battery and wait a few minutes to rehook it. Also, check your fuse box and make sure they look good. It might fix some of your problems. It fixes some other trail boss owners' issues.
I picked up a 2023 canyon elevation about a month ago..... I was loving the truck until I went to start it one morning and the battery was completely dead..I was able to jump it and drive it for a couple days with no issues. 2 days later I had the same issue with the battery being dead, I was able to jump it but it took a while. The very next day it died again and I was unable to jump it. I got it towed to the dealership and it has been there for 4 days, they still can't figure out how to fix the issue. I recently found out this is a common problem for MANY 2023 canyon/Colorado's. I'd hold off on buying this first gen truck until they iron out their issues... 🍋
Right I just bought a Colorado had it a month every thing went out they can't fix it and I'm in my lemon law rights I think I will pass on this so disappointed.
Turn off the auto update. It will try to update till battery runs dead
I say; EXPENSIVE AND GARBAGE GMC MADE IN CHINA. 😮
Toyota always in this class of trucks!
Still the best midsize truck for the price. If you want a fancy interior, get a Z71 or ZR2.
I agree with you, and I dont mean to be 'that guy' but the trail boss was a wt with the wide suspension, that's it. Check engine light aside you recieved exactly what they said they'd build. For the money I bought an at4. The 10k price difference seemed worth it.
For sure. I knew what I was getting into with the trial boss. This video was more so aimed at people considering the trail boss, but expecting GMC level interior and creature comforts. If you're looking for that, the trial boss ain't it.
How are you liking your at4? That's a mean truck, I wanted one, but couldn't justify the cost difference.
@@scootersstuff patiently waiting lol. Placed the order like 4 months ago. It'll get here when it does. I'm not like the guys in the fb groups harassing their salesman every day. I too am not entirely eager to make the payment but I'm hoping to make parts and content on the truck so it'll pay for itself over time.
@@BadlandIndustries oh hell yeah that's awesome! i just checked out your channel, you're lucky you're out west. tons of offroading and rock crawling and overlanding to do.
im in the mid Atlantic, there's definitely plenty of offroading around, BUT they're all on super skinny mountain roads that are overgrown. you're guaranteed to earn your stripes. im too scared to put my brand new trail boss thru the ringer yet...it's still so new and nice to me.
hopefully can get out west soon and give the truck a few proper trail days to test it out off-road!
@@scootersstuff my colorado will be the crazy offroader but I won't say I won't put a couple scratches on the new canyon as well.
@@BadlandIndustries I will say whites a good color choice for offroading. a bit harder to show scratches
I traded in my '21 Tacoma TRD OR 4x4 on a new '24 ZR2 this past Saturday. I love the truck so far 300 miles in but there are a few things annoying me. Absolutely no aftermarket: I bought the ZR2 because I didn't wanna be tempted to do serious mods but I can't even find black badge overlays for the "chrome" Colorado emblems on the doors and tailgate. The tabs on the very front of the fender flares aren't seated causing a gap so I'm gonna have to pop some screws out of the front wheel well shrouds and seat them in place. Someone also recommended checking the fuse box to make sure all the fuses are seated. Apparently the fuse box and fender flare issue are very common.
i bought a 23 trail boss and absolutly love it
This was a great Ford commercial. ZR2 forums are full of huge quality control issues. Also the light switch in the center screen has already led to head on collisions. GM is going to loose sooooo much money on lawsuits.
Never buy the first year of a redesigned vehicle. Wait until the bugs are worked out
I discredited you after you said ducks… those were geese.
Got rid of my mid size (small gas tank & too cramped inside) truck, luv my 32 gallon gas tank, full size crew cab.
I just bought the 2023 elevation and I simply love it! No complaints so far. Traded in my full size for it.
I did exactly what you did. In March I sold my 2019 Sierra to Car Max and after the deal I ended up making 7k after paying off GM Financial. With my new Canyon I can tow just as much as I could with the Sierra and the 5.3 v8 power train. It maneuvers better then the Sierra. Turns and stops quicker and is easier to park and maneuvers better in traffic. It's just a joy to drive compared to the Sierra which was like driving a bus to work everyday.
Everyone has the trailboss trim and I agree it's crap for what you pay, all the cheap plastic no thanks. We ordered a loaded Z71 and out the door will be $51k, yeah it's a lot but honestly I'd pay the extra 5k+ for a nicer interior and more bells/whistles.
Nice! You have an ETA for your truck? You can load an LT to be pretty nice too. Z71s a great option also. I knew what I was getting into with the trail boss, just wanted to make others aware.
The Trail Boss has a wider stance and 2in lift,,,,it’s a beefier better looking truck than a ZZ1,, I could have bought one sitting next to my TB but I didn’t like it, it reminds me of that last gen Colorado,,kinda weak 5k difference cause of the interior is not worth it, I have cruise control ,towing package, rear slide defrost window, dampened tailgate w storage, power seat, same screen as you, sprayed in liner, chevy all weather floor mats,,,41,200 and I put 30k down! I would be sick to my stomach if I payed 51k for this or even a full-size! ✌️
You payed 10k more than me👍 and I have wider taller better looking truck truck 💪🏻
$51k for a mid size truck😳
$51,000 for a 2023 Z71? OMG! That makes me happy I bought my 2018 LT Colorado 4x4 CCLB with LT Convenience Package for $32,000 out the door. I could have bout a 2018 Z71 for $35,000. What a ripoff those new Colorado’s are! And you can’t even get a 6ft Bed anymore!
Have one, no issues @ 18K miles. Software updates resolved all glitches. Heated seats: Buy sedan. Plastic: Just like Tacoma I had. Cheap steering wheel, Huh?? (NOT) - better than Tacoma I had. Lights can care less. Seat Pocket has storage on the doors and under the seat. Play in knobs, huh - NOT mine. Space, no complaints for adult passengers, Huh? Sounds like a personal preference issue - why the heck did you buy int then. Sounds like reviewer just wanted a different truck even complained about price yet bought it! Petty things, every truck has them
I bought me a 2022 z71 Colorado last year brand new and boy I’m so happy I got the 2022 z71model!! Seeing all these videos of people complaining (rightly so) about the 4 cylinder engine, lack of leather interior, digital headlights, etc… I’m so thankful for mine as it does have all leather interior, long tested 6 cylinder, manual buttons, etc. hope Chevy reverts all these changes in the future…
I’m on my third ZR2, 18/21/23 love it! Most people who buy them don’t actually use them like they’re meant to be, off road at least 25% of the time. The Canyon AT4X is a nice truck too.
This guys mad he didn’t buy a ZR2
If you want heated seats you should have bought a Z71! Then add tires. When I bought my 2019 Crew Cab SB 4x4 WT, V6, I found one with every option available in a WT. That’s been a flawless runner, working hard for 63,000 trouble free miles, about 10k worth was towing at a Cat Scale certified 10,250 lbs CGVW. With ease and plenty of power towing a 26’ travel trailer. The truck came with the towing package and trailer brake control, appearance package that came in one color bumpers, door handles and grill, dark tinted windows and 16” alloy wheels. The WT Convenience Package with easy lift locking tailgate, cruise control, plus upgraded 7” touch screen with 6 speakers, Bluetooth and OnStar 4 G LTE WIFI, that’s great when traveling and camping! Not to mention the other advantages of OnStar, including 20% discount on insurance! Plus the skid plate under the transfer case. The best part? Was the out the door price, with dealer installed ZR2 type skid plate package that accommodates the dam air dam, of $34,500! Including a GM 100,000/84 mo bumper to bumper warranty! Then at 30,000 miles I had new struts/shocks installed, with Bilstein 5100’s, with the front set at 2”, and the rear with 1” blocks. That has really enhanced the ride and handling on an off road, especially speed bumps and flying down the beaches. I fit 265/75-16 Cooper Discoverer RTX tires at 32”. If I were to trade for another truck it would be a Gladiator. The worst part about the newer Colorado WT and LT, is the fact you can’t get 4x4, with LOW RANGE! At any price, only Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2 gets a two speed transfer.
Seen multiple Colorados with screen and check engine lights. Glad I went with the new Frontier!
You're always taking a risk when you buy the 1st model year of ANY vehicle. That said, the TrailBoss is sh*t for what you pay. I'd go with the Z71 because it's far better equipped with much nicer interior and you can always upgrade the suspension later if you really need the capability (most people don't). I'm currently cross shopping the Colorado Z71 and Frontier Pro4x. The Pro4x is a better value and would likely be more reliable, but the Z71 is more capable as far as hauling and towing. It's a tough call..
I really dont like the look of the digital cluster either
Some cars have electronics problems when the interior has been hot for awhile. Also, have you tried disconnecting the battery to clear the engine light or to fix the screen? Some of the screens are going completely blank and on TFL, they did the battery disconnect and it brought the screen back. Otherwise may have to wait for the dealer to download an update.
Tried disconnecting the battery when I got home, no luck. Think it's just a bug or likely needs an update of some sorts. Thanks for chiming in 👍
Everyone does not want a full size truck. It wont fit in my garage for one thing. Mid size more fun to drive IMO.
As far as price you are not buying by the pound.
I love trucks. I have a Ford Ranger XL 2021, and I knew what I was buying. I love this truck with the mods I did.
Why did you buy it?
Looks like the Z71 trim is the best option for this truck.
I’m waiting for 2025 and ordering a Colorado. They will add more options and work the bugs out by then.
Seems to me like this truck is more for a man that doesnt complain about things
Thanks you for posting this video. Now I am back for buying 2023 colorado 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
here is the result from TFL towing up the "Ike"...
Colorado 4cyl turbo / Frontier 6cyl na
box trailer weight # 6800 / 6700
payload max / max
squat inches 2.5 / 2.0
speed mph 60 / 60
time minutes 7.5 / 7.9
max throttle foot to floor yes / yes
fuel consumed mpg 3.6 / 4.4
engine rpm 5400 / 6000
engine rpm per cylinder 1350 / 1000
conclusion for towing equal weights and mph:
Colorado:
4cyl turbo works 35% harder,
4cyl turbo consumes 22% more fuel
suspension squats 25% more
Nissan is the superior truck
#1 Reason to not buy is the most obvious for all makes an models is the one thing that's killing the American dream is ...." ridiculous costs" wtf?
Toyota has cheap plastic "what good reliable easy to clean product" despite them charging a premium price.
The budget friendly trail boss has plastic "cheap plastic how awful, what an awful vehicle."
I always thought there should be a single trim for every vehicle, with all the features added. It would make the car average out in cost because manufacturing would be simplified. And would be less confusing trying to find the 'right' trim that has all features you want.
The whole model/feature game is done on purpose to get the customer to separate from their money.
That volume control is a push button OFF - ON too. The only problem on my new 2023 Chevy Colorado is that the headlights are on during the day when in AUTO Control. You're in the Bluetooth mode, switch out of that for the AM/FM Stations. I'm definitely old school, but you can't stay back in time ... Time waits for no man, they say. We just have to learn how to remedy the so called high tech glitched when they occur. I paid 44K for my Colorado LT 9 Radiant Red) but I have almost all the option as the Z71, included the lifetime bed protection, side SS step bars,, contoured mud flaps, high tech floor mats, paint shield, 7 year bumper to bumper, and 4 window shades (which I don't like the brand). I recently had the truck rust-proofed for almost $700. I'm a senior citizen (75), so this is the last vehicle I'll ever own, which I'll Will to my son. The Chevy Dealer was the only dealership that gave me money on my 21 yo Ford Ranger XLT which I purchased new in 2002, plus they gave me a military discount. So, the 2023 Chevy Colorado was a perfect match for me. With the Auto Workers going on strike, lucky me I already made 2023 new vehicle purchase, price of vehicles will skyrocket along with Auto Insurance for everyone ... Believe it!
The argument about space in the cab is laughable. It’s like knocking a Miata because you can’t haul 6 people.
Smart people know never buy the first version of something new whether it’s cars, electronics, etc.
Amazed at the people defending this truck. Its brand new and has heaps of issues - hope you aren't completely screwed over this, and thanks for letting us know. I'll stay away
I'm glad I found my 2016 Canyon LTE crew cab for $20,000. I wish midsize pickups weren't the same price as a full size pickup these days.
Buying a cheap trim and then complaining about how cheap it is sounds a little crazy to me. I'd never consider a trailboss. It's cool that its all rugged on the inside for trail running and what not but even at the cheaper trim price, it's still pretty expensive and should still provide some of the comforts of a good daily. To me, It's a glorified work truck with a barely noticeable lift
I just stopped by the local Chevy dealer here in East Central Saskatchewan and look at the same truck as that and it's listing for$ 51,000.00.
100% agree on the Electronics problems. But no LED interior light? Cmon. Interior trim cheesy plastic? C'mon YOU BOUGHT IT. You did not do your homework.
Nah I knew what I was getting into. Just made this video for others to be aware. If you're lookin for a more luxury truck, the trail boss ain't it
Did you look at this truck when you bought it wake up dude!
“I bought the cheap version, I hate that everything in it is cheap”
I have 500 reasons!
But I will just give one
🚮GM🚮
I bought 25 new vehicles in my lifetime. Never, never, ever buy a vehicle in the first year of an all new body and interior change!
The fact that any automaker is using halogen interior lights is astonishing to me in 2023! 😮
New infotainment systems are inherently buggy, there will likely be a software update in the near future to address those concerns and unfortunately the dealer cannot re engineer the software so other than doing a hard reset there may be nothing they can do. As far as the interior quality and features one would think you would have seen that before you bought it and if it wasn't up to your standards why did you buy it? You're never gonna get caddilac refinement in a Chevy.
When I ordered my trail boss they wanted me to upgrade the seats to the leather with heat and vents. I said no though.
Nice, didn't know you could get heated/ventilated seats in the Trail Boss
I have a ZR2 2023 and i love it!!!
I test drove the 2023 trail boss and the GMC AT4. Was not impressed with either. The salesman couldn’t get the cameras to work and the interior is a little cheaply made. The truck needed an alignment, drifted right and had a crooked steering wheel. Also the transmission shifted really funny.
I ended up buying a 2023 Ford ranger lariat Tremor. Great truck. Ford makes a better truck than GM. I got a great deal because ford has a new model coming 2024.
I love my ranger.
I bought a Ranger too. No regrets. Absolutely flawless.
@@Izheets I took my new ranger for a long drive up to Mammoth mountain. I got 22 mpg on the way there and up to 26mpg on the way back.
Did some 4 wheeling up to Laurel Lakes and it did very well. The rear locker worked perfectly and it had enough clearance to get over the boulders. The 10 speed transmission has a really low crawl gear when it’s in 4 low. Never got hot on the trail. Great truck.
Don’t bring up the price of the previous generation when that truck wasn’t affected by inflation. People are making more money and everything has gone up in value.
For the engine light and screen.Try disconnecting the positive battery cable. Turn on the lights to drain the electricity from the computer. Reconect the cable. Just like a reboot of any computer.
will lights come on like that?
Id rather a real truck without all the bells and whistles and because of the all these options, we now have a truck so expensive that you can't afford a family car and a truck. They combined the two and charge double.
just get your bread up. that’s why i got myself a 2023 canyon denali trim
Bro bought the lowest trim with a off road package and is complaining. I bet he is also the type to complain that trucks are getting expensive but wants all the features of the fully loaded truck
Glad my 19 Cruze LS is a simple, regular vehicle, without the gizmos and high-tech features.
If you want luxury, pay for it. Don’t try to confuse the buyers.
I added Katzkin leather heated and cooled with the seat pockets. Added some usb and bed connections; now pretty nice.
I asked the dealer why everything is plastic they said so you can pressure wash the inside without damaging the interior after going off roading in the mud
Think about what you want, ZR2 and Denali boss, Denali. If you want premium, you get what you paid
Yes you can get the heated seats in the convenience package. I literally just bought it that way
Oh on the ck engine lite ,check the fuel filler flap where the nozzle goes in ,just a suggestion ,also the one thing I don't understand is the hood prop rod hmmmmm ain't seen that since the 80s ,oh well just put 2 redline hood shocks on
There's a reason it's 40-45k your not going to get stitched leather on a 40k truck. The halogen interior light I agree 100% inexcusable
I have had my 2023 Z71 Colorado for about 2 weeks now and love it so far. The only issue I have had is Bluetooth/Android auto not connecting or automatically disabling itself. I have made sure my phone Android Auto is up to date and can only assume the infotainment will update whenever its available. I have not had the check engine light issue at all. The rest that you mention seems to be cosmetics with that trim level.
Definitely a lot of cosmetics with the trim level. It's a work truck with a 2 inch lift and wider stance when it comes down to it. The CEL and infotainment issue are my biggest gripes. I still love the truck, I knew I was buying first year new gen and expected some hiccups, but I can't help but be frustrated a bit.
I love my trailboss,no issues. If you don’t like the cheap interior,cheap lights, and everything,why in the hell did you buy it?
Mine does the same thing. One thing I have found is to make sure your phone doesn’t log out of google. My I phone updated and phone would not connect. My google search would say sign in so I finally did and I was able to search for my phone. Before that I was going into settings and hard resetting my radio and that would also work
@@scootersstuff and upgraded engine, bigger tires, better wheels, ZR2 lower control arms...
Glad that you're able to drive it. I ordered mine back in Jan...still waiting
If you’re a connoisseur off the finer things don’t buy a cheap Trail Boss. Buy a LTZ!
With the exception of the check engine light, most of what you’re complaining about is that you didn’t have the money to buy a top trim level but wanted those options. No fault of Chevrolet. The Colorado is the best compact truck ever made!
You do know that just because the engine light turns off does not mean you can't pull the code. When the check engine light comes on, the error code is saved to the computer and Chevy can still pull that stored code even when the light is off. Take it to a Chevy dealer, not Auto Zone to find the issue.
That's why GMC stands for Generic Motor Company. lol!
Too bad because it's a great looking truck but that seems to be where it ends.
Oof. Lots of issues. Never buy a first year GM redesign - 2025 should be sorted out...
I had the option 22 or 23 zr2. Glad I got the 22 zr2. I already know you couldn't get the heated seats with trailboss. You should get a buyback. Wait til the 24. Don't get anything but the ZR2
I thought the trail boss had heated seats if you grab the Z71 package. Plus soft touch interior
I would avoid getting the new Colorado like the plague. It looks nice and that’s about it. A 4 cylinder direct injection turbo with cylinder deactivation? Yeah, it ain’t gonna last at all.
What a lemon! I have a 2016 Colorado diesel and my touch pad went bad about 30,000 miles. It sucks they don't offer the diesel in the Colorado any more
TB is a glorified work truck. Z71 or Canyon Elevation or AT4 are far nicer. Been waiting for the ZR2 to come of constraint and wait the 3-6 months but I'm about ready to just order a loaded Canyon AT4 and have it in 8-12 weeks..
I Got the 430torque flash, the plastic looks nice to me,,I saved 8 to 9k 10k by NOT getting the Canyon AT4 just for the finishes? 😂
I tried to buy a GMC Canyon Denali but they only come in black or white with sunroofs. I called every dealer within 500 miles and was told no luck with buying one but would have to order it and wait 3 to 5 months, maybe. The same dealer has the Chevy Colorado so I looked at them. I bought a Z71 and so far I really like it. It has a lot of pep and is much easier to park than my Sierra. I didn't get all that I wanted on it but it has 20-inch tires and I have learned there are so many things connected with the infotainment system and what can be controlled that I know it will take a while to learn them all. It's funny how they set up the packages. I have heated seats and outside mirrors but not a heated steering wheel. I have lane warning and auto braking but not outside mirror blind spot warning. If you want cooled seats you have to get the leather package. I do have mixed emotions about the rear seat storage bins under the seat. I used to put the seats up and my dog had the whole back floor as her area. Now there is no room if the seats are raised up due to the storage bins. Overall, I like my new truck.
The push button start is enough to keep my away from it.
I just bought the chevy colorado LT 2023 30 days ago. Am ,fm radio stopped working along with Bluetooth. Taking it back to dealership to get it fixed.
All the things you're complaining about are options! Mterial quality, seat pockets, heated seats, rear arm rest...all that stuff is an option.
I just order a 2024 Z71 with every possible option I could get except for the sunroof. I'm still driving my 2005 Z71. With all those things you pointed out that you don't like surely you would have noticed before you bought looks to me like you don't know much about buying a vehicle.
The trail boss should just be a base truck. Should have gotten a Zr2.
I have the GMC Canyon Denali. I have had zero issues. I came from an AMG Mercedes GLB35. I like my Canyon so much more. I think the Trail Boss is just a bad option. Might as well get the Z71 or just a base GMC since its got more standard features. Price wise, i mean yeah everything's more expensive but look at a full size with that much stuff. looking at 20k plus or more for something with similar stuff.
Dude buys this truck with this trim knowing what he's getting into, and complains about the price, no rear arm rest, no rear leg room and the fit and finish. They have things called dealers and test drives before you make that decision. Do yourself a favor, sell it then get a Tundra. Problem solved.
Wish I watched this before I bought mine. I’m trading it in before the first oil change is even due. Upgrading to the Silverado trail boss. And hoping for a better experience. I have tons of issues with my display screen just like you. Took Chevy over a week to figure it out. They didn’t want to give me a loaner vehicle either till I put a bad review online and talked a bunch of sh*t to them. The dealership was terrible, the truck is too small, the technology isn’t tested enough to be reliable, my collision warning system goes off constantly even when there is nothing in front of me, doesn’t come with a tow package, I installed my own hitch (Chevy wanted $900 to do it), no heated anything, manual back window is outdated and annoying, wayyyy too much plastic, feels like you’re riding in a tin can, the missing storage on the back of the seats is annoying, no smart keyless entry, everything you may want like the plug in the bed for example is an upgrade and no sun roof. For the money you pay there sure isn’t a lot that comes with it besides anger and regret. I should have just kept my 4runner!
No heated seats? How will you survive?
I'm glad I bought a basic 2016 Colorado WT when I did. You can't buy a basic truck anymore because of all the people who want to load up their trucks with junk like heated seats. I will drive my Colorado until I no longer drive because there is no way to replace it.
If you're light was on it should've saved saved the code in the history even if the he light is now off.
The infotainment screen looks so out a place. Like they suddenly remembered it needed one and just stuck it in.
I got a Z71 and it got Nice interior Maybe you should have spent more money and got the nicer one.
I considered it, just couldn't find anything in stock. I'm a big fan of the 2 inch lift and stance on the TB too. How are you liking your Z71 so far??
Halogen interior lights are a complaint? Wow, I am gonna make my gripe video soon, stay tuned 😂. Most people are fully capable of determining what truck and how much space they need. I bought the Z71 level 3 package because I wanted everything that he is complaining about. Should have done your homework before buying!
I have a 2023 4wd lt and no problems here , heated seats center console arm rest/cup holder in the back seats.
leather seats and stitched steering wheel.
awesome truck.
I have colorado2021 , my next truck ? The old school v6 Nissan Frontier !
They should have at least added voice activation to turn your lights on if they're not going to give you a button
Sounds like the package you wanted was the ZR2 or go higher and get that Colorado Bison. Only thing you can’t win with is the price, how badly do you want those features $$$$
Edited title: I bought a lower trim truck and I'm mad about it. All your "reasons" can be solved with higher trim levels.
