I bought a used 3021 v6 colorado with 81,000 miles, no issues so far. Drve it last June 2023 all the way from Chicago to Temecula, CA, and from there to the Death Valley (US largest national park with hundreds of miles of off-road trails), despite the fact that it is not 4x4, we climbed up to 9,000 feet in the park mountains , 3 days camping. And 6 months later, drive from Chicago to Providence RI (more than 900 miles away), powerful v6 engine, fast. I recommend it !
so a refresh , no LED lights no auto unlock , no push button start / stop , no paddle shifters Chevy nice refresh ! it is 2021 model year . wonder why Tacoma's are number one !!!! 😨🇺🇸🤸
I just ordered a 21' CC 4x4, I've had a 15',17' and currently driving a 19'. Biggest upgrade was the 8sp trans, lots more torque compared to 6sp. I did have the torque converter issue on the 17' was replaced at 70k miles. I drive a lot. Truck is very easy to drive and long trips aren't bad. Average 22 mpg on interstate. Only issue is the brake lights burn out fast. Each truck has had at least 2 burn out. They need to go led.
An interior no cheaper than the Toyota or Ranger. Meanwhile Ford is charging $40k+ for a piece of shit with zero suspension mods to compete with the ZR2. And Toyota wants $45k for a TRD Pro package that's 100% inferior to a ZR2.
@MotorcycleMan LMFAO uh huh. Meanwhile Toyota is selling a 2020 Tacoma that's practically unchanged since 2005 and the pathetic Toyota fanboys claim its because it doesn't need a major redesign. The fucking Frontier is absolutely ANCIENT. This isn't the fullsize truck market. Midsize trucks don't get major redesigns every 4 to 5 years like fullsize trucks.
Incredible. They managed to make zero upgrades over my 2017 Colorado, take away remote start, and somehow manage to fuck up by retiring the amazing Laser Blue color....and then have the gull to charge $5000 more. I honestly had a thought of getting a 2021 Colorado until I saw this video.
According to the 'build and price' section on their website, you can get a similarly equipped full size pickup with a v8 for about $5k more. Not sure why these are so expensive, but people seem to keep buying them.
You can find parking spots large enough to park in. You can drive into most underground parking facilities without crushing your roof . You can park it in your attached car garage and still close the door . Fuel mileage is impressive especially with the diesel version..you can quite easily reach into the box to place or retrieve items. And you are making a statement that says you are enough of a man (or woman) to not require compensating with a big truck to show you have made it. There really is a lot to like about these slightly more compact trucks.
Lol most people are buying 2500s 3500s 450s and don't haul a box.or haul their lunch box to work...this truck is really all they need or a Honda Ridgeline....👀
I like the Colorado especially the 4 door option with a long bed, surprisingly the wheel base is only a couple inches more and the overall length is about 6-8 inches. For the life of me why they want to sell you 5 a foot bed all the time is crazy, my opinion, I hate short beds and I think they’re useless even if your a mountain biker hiker etc. and don’t tow or whatever the extra 12” makes a difference when you want to carry anything other than a cooler and some groceries.
To everyone defending the lack of features, the amount of competition in this segment is high and this refresh doesn’t cut it for what most people look for in modern cars. Lack of safety features, tech, plastic interior, etc. is not a great look for a 2021 vehicle asking north of $35k for a mid-ranged GM clothed interior. I suppose if you want a new truck with tech from 5+ years ago, get it, but when my Civic has more standard features and a nicer interior, that is a bit appalling for a “new” truck.
Ryan Armstrong thanks for recognizing my royalty, but when driving on country and off roads it’s nice to be able to see things like deer and other hazards, Ryan, I hate searching for keys in handbag, but you don’t have that issues.
I have a 2019. It is a really good truck. No problems at all. No squeaks or rattles. Everyone is going to like there brands. Did not like the Ford. Owned a Toyota. It was a good truck also.
That new front end looks unsettlingly disjointed. Like the truck are a wide mouth fish in reverse. Aesthetics are always a matter of taste. I prefer its predecessor.
It seems to me that the changes are purely superficial. It’s the same truck, not a 3rd generation. A bed liner is an option. I prefer a bed mat. I don’t get why some people obsess about electronic features. I like my Colorado just the way it is, and I’m glad I bought it when the manual transmission was still available.
My guess why the lights are still Halogen is that they did a market survey which indicated that most Colorado owners would balk at paying LED replacement prices when/if there is a cracked headlight or minor accident. which is another way of saying Colorado owners and smaller truck owners are inclined to be cheap, whether income or habit or both.
Did I hear that right? Z71 has remote start but the LT doesn't? If so that's crazy. My LT 2018 has remote start. I like the new front and back. Shame Chevy isn't adding a key fob and LED lights though.
How about bring down the price every year? GM: ask yourself these questions about every vehicle you produce: Does this vehicle get the best MPG? Lowest price? Lightest weight? Most power, most performance? How are you going to get a person to spend $36k on this truck? It would sell at higher volumes at $14k.
Pretty disappointing as refreshes go. They redesigned the front end, but don't have LED headlights even on upper trim levels and they stamped Chevrolet in the tailgate -very little effort was made that's obvious. No push button start, no active satiety features, garbage interior materials. The only reason it's not the worst in class atm is because the Frontier is almost 20 years old, but even that truck has a replacement coming next year. Another important thing that should be mentioned is that the 8 speed transmission in the Canyon and Colorado is prone to a shudder issues. I'm the member of several Colorado groups online (I have a 1st gen) and I see that issue discussed frequently by owners.
This truck would be awesome at a much lower price. It has everything I would want as a cheap truck for practically or a cheap daily, if it was like 15k at most.
Just heard today an old country music song about a guy who found women were just crazy about guys driving pickup trucks - said he had “met all his wives in traffic jams...”. Not sure he was driving a Colorado, though - but great review and a great save on the sneeze!!
I'm pushing 70 years of age and I like the button. I'm saying with little safety features, no LED lights, no active cruise control and etc the price should be less.
@@MattsCarsMusic The only people that complain about Push button starts are people that never buy new anything, PB start has been around for pretty much ever and not just cars but Class 8 trucks etc.
@@59ersfootball yea i have the Z71 diesel i was hoping a big update so i jump into a new one but my shit looks better than this. not even LED headlights and taillights. i think they need some you ppl to help with things
This truck has barely changed since 2015. Im not complaining either I love the way they look but they need to update the interior. I own a 2019 and they are pretty boring inside
I was considering buying one with the diesel engine as I go on long trips but was told adaptive cruise control is not available in any trim level the technologies been around for 10 years come standard on all Honda vehicles what’s up GM
Hi another great review! 🙂👍 Just a quick question. Did you ever get the 2020.24.6 update on your Model 3?? The reason I ask is because I still haven’t gotten mine on my Standard range Model 3.
I am still absolutely amazed at the price for a poorly equipped truck. No real standard safety features, no led lighting, no nothing. The government needs to consider mandating all safety features as standard equipment.
Ridgeline may not look nice but neither is this. Ridgeline has a nicer interior , resale value and smoother ride plus is more reliable . It can tow and has a bed, that makes it a truck buddy !
Wish everyone would stop buying the over priced crap the auto makers are putting out these days. But we know that isn't gonna happen. Most young people now days run out and buy a brand new vehicles before a home of there own.
Make this truck 3 inches wider , 3 more inches of rear leg room , 6 more inches of bed space. Make the 4.3 v6 engine standard with a 10 speed auto. Now you will have a decent mid size truck for 200 lb Americans!
I park my Colorado comfortably in a standard storage locker. With your changes it would be a tight squeeze. It’s perfect the way it is. There are big trucks available for those who have the room.
Only thing I wish they changed is the bed, it is WAYYY too bulky to in my opinion, if it was slightly more shallow/thinner like the tacomas I think it would look a lot nicer.
This is the exact same truck they released in 2012 in Australia. They haven't done jack shit to the Colorado and it desperately needs a ground up redesign.
The door storage on all 4 are useless and the cup holders are a joke 16oz cup or less. I also hate that the backseat passengers don’t have air vents and you have to blast from the front 4 vents.
dont like the front end at all the chevrolet on the back is kinda cool think it would be better if it said colorado but id rather my 17 colorado look over this anyday
Car confections as you knew about cars more cause I know because I'm a subscriber Can u tell me rav4 hybrid full option or Camry hybrid full option is better???
Nothing’s changed but the exterior from what I see by the front bumper and rear tailgate which the tailgate doesn’t have the Chevy logo it’s instead the word Chevrolet on the back of the tailgate.
Without reading comments I will say that these compact trucks new are grossly overpriced for what you get was recently in a dealership southern ontario and 48k 51k for a 4 door minivan with a 4 foot box i think is a little ridiculous you can a full size with a v8 and 6.5 foot box at least for the same money and get similar gas mileage
@@kd5you1 I've seen that and forward collision, but never blind spot. I pull a camper and really want blind spot detection on my next truck. Currently have a 2019 Canyon.
These trucks look so dated. I cannot believe this is a 2021 model. No push button start, no smart entry, halogen and incandescent bulbs, analog gauges, stick shifter. What the fuck. This looks like nothing has changed from 2015. Making the grill wider or changing the plastic molding on the front is not a redesign!!!!!
So I’m other words. U have about half an inch of clearance on the front.. good job Chevy.. u ruined it💀 can’t hit a pebble too big or u absolutely slaughter ur front fender
@Zachmanz71 Agreed, I was looking at a new 18 base, but it was over priced for what they offered, a truck with no cruise control, no keyless entry, no powered mirrors tilt only steering adjustment, (love the 6spd manual gear box) dealer wanted 23k but it should not cost you more than 19k out the door with tax and shipping
Yet the Tacoma still comes with a trash front diff that's been vibrating for 15 years and a clutch pedal that's been infamous for squeaking for 15 years.... worse yet, a frame infamous for 30 years of rust rotting, recalls, and lawsuits... and Toyota still refuses to give it a proper anti-corrosion coating.
