Great review!!! I have that almost exact same Colorado. But I optioned for perforated leather seats and red seat belts. I absolutely love the truck. This is my third now.
Im surprised you didn't mention the bigger screen for the instrument cluster screen! I'm glad Chevy fixed that for sure!!
A similarly equipped Tacoma is 6k more. That's ridiculous.
Not that much more. The stealerships in my city are marking up Colorados by $2K and intentionally stifling supply to keep the prices inflated. I have lost interest in the truck because of their mind games and the way they manipulate their floor plans to keep the prices as steep as possible. For comparison, a Blazer at the same stealership I visited was priced at a whopping $49,000.
Definitely ridiculous considering the fact that the Tacomas are now built in Mexico. They’re paying basically nothing for labor so there’s no excuse.
And in 5 years the Toyota will be worth 10k more so 🤷♂️
Thanks for showing the payload!! Lots of reviewers don't and it's something that's pretty important for a pickup truck.
Absolutely love it ! We have the 2023 Colorado Z71 and definitely think it is a very fun truck to drive 😎👍🏻
Did you pay over or under invoice price?
@@largol33t12 I paid about $5000 under invoice
Just went today to the dealer Toyota Tacoma and Chevy Colorado .. after testing and looking at both trucks the Colorado drove better than Tacoma. Tacoma was sr5 and look cheap built all the interior was loose all of it from even the shifter wiggles to the side just like all the interior. First thought it was just that one truck but check the rest and they were all pretty much the same. Seem to me just in couple years going start coming apart. The sales guys said well the motor will last and laughed… than went to Chevy tested z71 Colorado and drove really smooth and loved how aggressive look everything seem really firm from interior al well. Walked out with the Colorado, never imagined getting Chevy only had toyota ram and Nissan and Honda before. First chevy ever for me. Just get what you liked as long as ur happy it’s all that matters…
I bought this exact model color and all 3 weeks ago and I love it.
Test drove a brand new one around the lot, just like this but the outside color was black, and man, it’s so nice, the one I drove had the new 2.7 turbo 4cylinder
Ben just a heads up, the 2024 model year all the Colorados come with the Turbo Max engine only the WT can come with the Turbo 238hp and 260tq but the WT can also come with the Turbo Max 310hp and 430tq with that option, but the Turbo Max comes standard in all other trims of the Colorado and Canyons for 2024 just like ALL trims Colorado and Canyons only come with the 11" DIC, (driver infotainment center) for the 2024 model year and all 2024 model year Colorado and Canyons use the Ultifi software system for over the air updates, so we will see how good that works since its their first year and its the same system that caused a stop sale on them until they could be updated and is the cause of the stop sale of the Chevy Blazer EV to this day.
Thank you Ben for the GM review. The only think I do not like is the headlight design. I cannot stand it when they put one headlight on each side of the grille when a vehicle should have a quad( two on each side) headlight design on each side of the grille. I like the digital gauges and the features. That truck is almost bad a full sized truck was back in the day. The trucks have become larger indeed. The GMC Canyon is nice as well. Compare Canyon and Colorado if you can and throw in the Ford Ranger.
Is it weird selling a Colorado in Utah!lol! Larry Miller should list this for free with us. 2 free auto listings every 48hrs. No cookies, easy to use. Cute truck!
I like your vids. These "mid sized" trucks are beyond the reach of most people.
Need to take a test drive on one of these. My 2019 Colorado has a 3.0L V6 and I'm really curious how the unified 2.7L engines compare, not really sure how the smaller engine still has the same tow rating as the V6.
One of the most beautiful small truck, loved.
Bought a z71 today and its smooth, handles well and has great power
In 2012 i traded my Tacoma for a 2013 Frontier. I currently own a 2022 TRDOR.......I wont make the same mistake again.
Best bang for your buck. Also they offer the most off road capable midsize truck. Gotta say it, imo Chevy has the number one spot. Got the motor trend truck of the year to prove it.
Colorado, number 1 spot in what?
2023 Colorado sales- approximately 71,000
2023 Tacoma sales- approximately 234,000
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆

You reek of a Toyota fan girl. Trolling the internet of how much you love Tacos. We get it. You gobble. Wasn’t even hating on Toyota, just stating an opinion if it was my money. It’s objective how much more capable the zr2 bison is going to be than the TRD pro. But that’s for the enthusiasts. I’ll see you in the comment section. I can smell it. You and the other bitches.

Wow! Very affordable and good looking truck.
Nice truck. And the Quality is there also the Tacoma’s will sell but the chevy is a better value
Colorado is a cool truck for Mize truck like it
Good video! Nice truck! 🔥
After 9 months just received my 23 Z-71. For some reason Chevy added the 20 inch wheels, wanted the standard 18's. 20''s not good off-road. Ordered with the skid package, so the front air-dam is gone. No real time driving it yet, but looks great in Glacier Blue.
I want one! I have a 2022 but I want one of these.
Awesome truck I would love to have one I thought it was only the zr2 that got the full screen
They all get the full screen for 2024
Why did they remove the gas struts for the hood and replace with a prop rod. Thats a downgrade
I really wanted the new Tacoma but it just doesn't make sense to buy that over the colorado.
If I were in the market for a mid-size, I'd probably get a Colorado Trail Boss, especially if the 3.0 Durmax was an option.
Man. Look at all those trucks on that lot. Holy moly
Yeah because they’re like 80k.
@@thomas77597 no doubt man. Price of these trucks are getting ridiculous
I remember when all trucks had an 8ft bed.
You mean they weren't glorified cars??
My wife and I just spoke to our local dealership earlier today. We currently have the 2020 GMC Terrain, and I have wanted a pickup truck most of my adult life. We are trying to decide between the GMC Canyon and the Chevy Colorado. I am really trying to see how they compare with each other. Any input here will be appreciated. Thanks, and hello from London-Ontario, Canada 🙂
Same car. GMC uses slightly better interior materials other than that, same engine and dimensions.
The air dam is removable Ben 😊
@@user-mn2ju7tv8f It's pretty easy. The only annoying part is some clips but you can pop them off pretty fast with a small screwdriver. There's a handful of videos out there that show you how to remove them.
Why does everyone point out the ruler on the tailgate like it’s some amazing extra feature? Every review makes sure to point it out.
I think the Taco will have a better higher resell value as most Toyota's do anyways
Tacoma has the higher starting price too. Especially after the dealer maket adjustments and unneeded crap they they throw on. Keep in mind those with a loan at the current high interest rates are paying more interest due to the higher priced truck. If that makes them stretch the loan adding on another year the interest rate also increases. So when all is said and done 5-10 years down the line it may be a wash. Not to mention there are already some issues with the '24 tacoma that are coming out so that resale may not be locked in yet.
@@spyder000069 tacomas are $10,000 more than a colorado.
@@user-eh2vh6pm5bwith less capability.
have pay the toyota tax so it evens out
Insane Chevy Ben !! ❤❤
I want a Ford ranger with the 2.7 v6 turbo option
My dads birthday Monday he has 2004 Silverado starting Lu problems now it’s time for a new truck he wanted the base Colorado I’m get him this one 💯💯🫡🫡💪
Z71 Colorado looks sharp , did this one have the sunroof ? Also can you get it w/o the air dam & a skid plate instead. Comparing it against the TrailBoss Colorado , which truck sits higher , I was at a dealer and saw both trucks side by side & they seemed identical heights , the Trail Boss has a 2" lift so I would think it would sit higher. Let me know .
Thanks
when you build the truck on the chevy website there is a skid plate option but after market might offer more protection for a better price , you might be able to get it removed with packages or just do it yourself like other truck owners do
Your mileage will suffer without the air dam, as I under it.
Gmc canyon and chevy colorado are the two best mid size pick up trucks on the market right now.
Inside and out
Besides the base engine, the TurboMax is the only option now, they eliminated the Turbo Plus option.
Also, the new Tacoma is only something a mother could love, boy is it ugly.
Yes, the Tacoma now looks like the Colorado.
It looks great, but too many transmission problems.
I think you're confusing the older generation transmission. Unless you're privy to new info that no one else is.
I don't understand why they don't put the gear back to the steering wheel. It doesn't make any sense. Prime room wasted. Help me understand.
That fuel economy just hurts me somewhere inside. 7.7. I have a 2022 but I get around 10 and I hoped a 24-25 would have better economy.
Toyota, here I come.
All the Toyota boys are hurt 😂
Ya, Toyota is not doing to well right now. The front diff is going to ruin the reliability. I think the engineers were so focused on the engine other things were ignored. Hopefully next year they fix it, but for now GM is surprisingly the best value and designed compared to Toyota. Never thought I would say those words.
Nice styling but GM quality & reliability leaves a lot to be desired…
The same was said about the 3rd generation Tacoma. Nevermind the refresh... but if you keep ignoring reality, it's all good, right?
I left Gm because of there reliability. went to Toyota. owned 2 of them. i traded only because o wanted a v6. otherwise it was flawless. was sick of Gm electrical issues ( check engine light). i’ve owned probably at least 10 GM vehicles in my life and got sick of there non-reliability. got tired of constantly going to the shop to be fixed. went to Toyota and it’s been flawless. i just change the oil. The GM trucks look sharp no doubt but don’t judge a book by it’s cover. buyer beware.
My 2016 Colorado Z7 has 188,000 miles on it, hasn't had a single issue and I do a lot of off-roading. I've owned trucks my whole life and this truck has been far and away the best I've ever owned. I'd like to upgrade before I get to 200K, but I can't convince myself of any good reason to, other than to have some trade-in value, rather than driving the truck until it dies.
"Ah, my victory chariot!"
If the head unit freezes the lights don’t work dumb design.
I will say about Toyota or Colorado. Anyone can do alot about milage and lasting, is change oil every 5000 miles and not dog it and take care of it. I think that needs to be said.
Just can’t justify it when a 5.3 crew cab is cheaper
Can I get that with a V8 and a solid front axle😊?
nope no V8s in any midsized trucks sold by anyone
both the Canyon and Colorado now only come with the 2.7L turbo 4 cylinder with either the 238hp and 260tq or 310hp and 430tq
Maybe if dodge makes the dakota again
If you have enough $$$, I bet Hennessey will build that for you.
Problem is something goes wrong with infotainment you have no control of any engine functions.
$48k for the Chevy,$51k for the ranger,you can get a full size truck for these prices,it doesn’t surprise me me that they are sitting on the lot
Time will tell about the new Toyota reliability but I’ve never owned a reliable GM. My last one was a 2022 Silverado 5.3 and I had injector failure at 5000 miles. Truck sat on the lot waiting for parts for a month along side over 10 other trucks with the same issue. I’ll never buy a GM again.
Probably something to do with the pandemic? And also my family has had like 7 very reliable gm vehicles since 2000
@@nuts5388 No, to what I understand it was a design flaw. GM updated the injectors and they replaced the failed injector with the new one with the new part number but not the other 7. No thanks. The 350 vortec and the 5.3 vortec were some of the most reliable engines ever made but after 2007 GM has made unreliable v8s and they’ve always made questionable hit or miss transmissions. I had transmission issues on a brand new 2016 Colorado. I’m done with GM.
@@Jay-bw3fl I have the same Colorado and it’s gotten to 100k miles not a single ussue
@@Jay-bw3fl not to mention, 2022 Silverado and 2016 Colorado were both first and second years of a new generation of car- which for decades have been known to be hit or miss, regardless of manufacturer. That is common knowledge.
@@nuts5388 good for you
Is the stop sale lifted on these?
Yeah, it lasted a couple days and was lifted.
why did it say 12 miles on the left and like 147 on the left???
@ 3:31- 12 miles on the right is the odometer reading and the 155 miles is the fuel range.
The airdam pops off with little effort
Like the Tacoma made for small Smurf sized people. Not a Man’s Truck.
I hate decals. Put a little badge there instead.
better then the new tacoma in every way and cheaper to boot
Z71 colorado is my next truck hands down. I don’t like the weird camo seat though…looks awful.
I paid $55k for a brand new 2012 F250 limited.
Never ever buy a turbo......never ever last like a toy!!!!
Umm, the Tacoma is also a turbo.
Turbos are for people who practice Common Sense. And aren’t Ignorant about staying on Top of Preventative Maintenance. Many over 200.000 miles with no problems. And way funner to drive too. Not an Ignorant Persons Vehicle.
Forget it now then go for frontier pro 4X much better All
GM makes decent trucks if you take care of them. They are just so expensive.
Toyota Owners Can't Handle The Truth!? What is that supposed to mean? It feels like click bait to me. I am not a Toyota fanboy. In fact, I have a Colorado Z71 on order, spec'd almost exactly as the one you just test drove. But I don't understand the title of this video. And nothing was included to explain it.
It would have to be like 15k less for me to take a GM over a Toyota
The front looks cool, but all plastic.😂
how does the Colorado have such a small engine but still gets such poor MPG. the new RAM 1500's get 32 mpg hwy! smh
Slow down dude! Too fast!
This will make a fine 4-6 year truck and I would actually consider it. The Tacoma will probably make a fine 10-15 year truck, depending on how well the engine holds up. Just my guess.
The Taco is a rip off and it’s time truck buyers send Toyota a message
I like the Canyon AT4, especially interior with brown leather. But, until GM gets better reliability ratings from Consumer Reports, adds a headlight switch on the dash & somehow ups the mpg. I’ll buy a new Tacoma.
don't use Consumer Reports for factual information. at best it's incomplete
@@davidporter7051 Even though they use 100’s of thousands of customer surveys? I’ve found over the years they’re usually right.
Toyota people still believe consumer reports..😅😅
Toyota Motor Corporation 4life
🐑🐑🐑 sheeple will sheeple. Toyota laughing all the way to the bank. Charge more for less.
@@elche1976 You get what you pay for. There’s a reason Chevy’s are so much cheaper than Toyota.
@@elche1976 last longer than all for less
@@ohscheisse2192 hecho en Mexico.
And toyota has openly admitted they are intentionally holding back inventory to focus on other parts of the world... and they know they can charge more because people will pay higher prices here. Sheeple. They tell you what you'll do and you'll do it. Sheeple will sheeple.
@ohscheisse2192 my 2005 has been very good. It's not the driver than the vehicle that matters. But hecho en Mexico doesn't help matters going forward.
More power but gets carbon buildup. Yeah nah. Old v6 please.
Too much detail articulated and way to fast. Recommend you slow down.
I've owned three Chevy cars, and to be completely honest I am done with the brand entirely. I do want a truck, but having driven a Nissan Sentra before to great satisfaction and seeing what the Frontier offers, all I can say is that Chevy looks nice but does not deliver what I need. If I can get a great deal on a used Frontier then I will likely take it, especially since I don't make the kind of money to get most used trucks and the Frontier has less amenities that would otherwise up the cost for me.
In time tested GM fashion, the interior is both ugly and low quality appearing. I swear they buy the scrap plastics from Matel Toys and recyle it. Seats are gross, and again notth of 45k for a 65% of a truck. Nuts, hard pass.
I'd trust a Toyota 4 cylinder over a GM 4 cylinder.
Cheaper but not better
I bought my last Chevy brand new in 1988 and it was such a falling apart piece of junk that I haven't went back to them since. I like the looks of their truck, but my Chevy PTSD keeps me from considering buying from them again.
You talk too fast , other than that great vid
thats about 25k$ worth of truck
While you pay rent/ mortgage for something that is worth ¼ the value. You think vehicles are immune to inflated prices?
@@elche1976 what??
The colorado/canyons are turds. You can get a quadcab long bed Tacome, you have no chouce with GM. Toyota all the way.
Can't see anything over the clown front end.
Speaks toooo fast…slow down so you can be clearly understood.
I just saw one of these smoking out of the hood earlier today
Uh huh. Sure. Rrrrriiiiiigggghhhhhtttttt.
Ego bit Toyota
For 50k, I expect the best. This certainly is not the best for that money. Nothing but a re-badged S-10 pickup truck.
The only truth to know is Tacoma is the highest selling midsized truck in America and will continue to be. Outsells Colorado 3 to 1 No one wants the remade S-10
You talk way to fast
it sounds like s*it
Wouldn’t own one of these frame bending junkers
Haven't heard about frame issues with these before - what's the story?
@@Namesi type in Colorado bent frame. Only time I’ve see a truck frame bent was from severe rust besides these trucks and that ram 3500 with the camper
@@freedomisntfree_44 So the only thing I found was that Mint 400 truck (as far as third gen Colorado's go) and it's pretty clear that the truck was overloaded, not reinforced, then beat on over the course of an entire race. Deducing that they are "frame bending junkers" from one example that was put through extreme conditions doesn't seem like a fair evaluation, but hey maybe I'm more lenient.
@@Namesi there are plenty. Who doesn’t overload their truck?
@@freedomisntfree_44 Source: trust me bro
Toyota will outlast
100%
Not the new ones built in Mexico.
Not anymore
Different era boyz
Old ones yes new ones no those days are over
These are complete junk dint know anything about the Tacoma
These 2.7s blocks are already cracking 🥱. Long shot with that title there
About 10 engines were made incorrectly. They aren't cracking, they were made cracked. The 2.7 has been in the Silverado for 6 years and no issues. Excellent for towing also.
