I test drove the Z71 and ZR2. Loved both trucks. While I couldn't justify buying the ZR2 for my current needs, I went with a full loaded Z71 instead. But I still remember that test drive and love watching videos like this. Subbed. Looking forward to seeing your over landing adventures
@@Karnalsyn thank you so much!! I honestly think for most people the trail boss can be the most practical. Better tow capacity, way more affordable, and still quite capable off-road!
Hey Devin! I too just picked up a 2024 ZR2 and am loving it as well! I have no complaints on the 4 banger either. I'll tell you what, it has more power than my 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro did with a V6, that motor was a dog! Thank you for sharing :)
@@barryguffey8061 really excited to see how this build goes! Let me know if there is any must haves! If there is anything mods you liked to see that maybe you went a different route with let me know!! And thanks for the watch and the comments!
All the windows back up can be a big safety hazard for people and kids with body parts hanging out windows!!! But say if drive into a lake or in high water and you need To row all the windows down before you loose power in your vehicle so you can escape before your vehicle goes under water I think this is the reason for this option! Which is very smart that GM did this!
@@jamesdarren9149 yea. Someone else said that was their reasoning. I think that they could have found a way to do it though… like you have to hold it like a normal window switch. Or even make it an option in the menu somewhere and it warns you to check your windows first.
Great video! I picked up a 2024 trailboss last month (just hit 2K KM). Originally was comparing both options but was able to snag this one with all the packages (360 cam, towing, convenience etc) for 45k canadian which was quite a bit under MSRP! Looking to upgrade wheels/tires and proboably the suspension down the road. ZR2 looks phenomenal - looking forward to future uploads :)
@@tacotuesday-z3j thanks my friend. I honestly think if I didn’t off-road us much as I do…. The trail boss is the perfect all midsize pickup truck. Decent offroad, better fuel economy, great looks, and 7500 lbs available towing.
@@gordmonteath6090 Definitely got some issues :( super unfortunate I really liked this platform. Some things i've experienced: -reverse camera failure multiple times (happens intermittently so ofc dealer wont fix) -Tons of software update issues. Turn the truck off and all the electronics will run for 5-10 minutes and nothing you can do except disconnect the battery to stop it. Recent update fixed this but a bunch of other owners experienced dead batteries due to this. -transmission worries me longterm. Cold start 1st to 2nd is super rough (rpm rockets, loss of power for a second) then it'll shift normally. Chevrolet says this is "normal" I'm sure there's many owners with 0 issues but this seems like a lot of little issues considering im barely over 6k km.
I believe the window down button is for water crossing emergency, can't risk hitting windows up. I wish it could be adjusted via software menu though up/down for regular driving and down only for offroading.
I’ve also heard that it’s because they don’t want you rolling your kids arm up in the window…. Could be an option through the menu with a confirm button and “did you ensure all windows are clear”

@Headupthrottledown I said it sounds dumb. Just their reasoning. Same reason why my tacoma has one touch up for the fronts but have to hold it to roll up the back.
Hey man, line I say in the video I’ve seen it get anywhere from 16mpg all the way up to 20mpg depending on condition. For pushing around 33 inch mud terrains, and all the crap I have attached to it…. It’s really not bad. Rolling resistance and aerodynamics make a huge difference, that’s why the z71 gets WAY better fuel economy. Thanks for the watch and joining the conversation!
@@scottanders5333 hey man! We are good so far *knock on wood* sub if you want to see updates I will post anything that goes wrong. I have think that’s been an across the board thing, after the chip shortage and labour strikes a lot of manufactures where playing catch up and I think some QC things slipped. Personally, my Chevy feels really put together. Interior isn’t too fancy but everything looks good feels solid and hopefully the powertrain is going to be solid since it’s been tested in a few other GM products for awhile.
That is true for every manufacturer now even Toyota. Now with Chevy/GM stepping up & Toyota stepping down the playing field has evened out. As a 2004 Toyota Tacoma owner I’m disappointed in the new version pertaining to quality & price. I’m definitely looking at replacing my old truck for a ZR2 Colorado.
Even better! They’ll fix the issues and you can get a lemon law attorney! You keep the vehicle and get a settlement! I got 12,000$ settlement for my wife’s 2019 traverse high country AWD. Also got to keep the car👍🏻
