People dont seem to get that this isn't intended to be the top of the line luxury truck, this is supposed to be a midsize truck that a family dude on a budget could afford. I understand it's missing features that it should have for that price, but if you test drive this thing and I have you cant help but like it.
I love that they didn't change them that much. 2015 and up models are just awesome the way they are. I own a 2019 and put led lights on the rear and love it. Beautiful trucks for sure 👍
Just ordered almost the same truck ! My third Colorado !! Love em !! Mines 57k CDN auto start heated everything, all safety sensors bed liner Bose speakers , fully loaded id say ! Hard top Tonal cover
Something you didn't mention but is important. The key is a key and not that stupid all in one key and fob garbage. Depending on what you do for work and so on, my silverado has a key like this truck does. It's great because if at an accident scene, I can leave the truck running and warning lights flashing but, I can lock it with the fob that is with me. ..... My phone also doesnt fit in the wireless charger but, my phone doesn't have that anyways lol. ..... On the seat, i think it is a 6 way power seat, also back is powered, that lever is the lumbar. ..... Long bed would be the model I get and with a diesel. ..... Good video overall. Thanks for getting this to us :-)
Agreed over priced. It looks cool but at that price needs far more features like push button start, and power rear center window would be nice, not absolutely needed but still cmon man.
I don’t get why pick ups don’t come with the sprayed on bed liner as a standard option. I think people prefer that more than the plastic or carpet ones
You didn’t mention that there is storage under the back seats. My 2016 has storage there and it is useful to carry small items or you can raise the seat bottoms up and more storage for a suitcase or other large items.
Such a beautiful truck, the best looking mid size truck out there right now. But I honestly wished GM just did away with the extremely antiquated ignition key. Like who does that nowadays? Even my '19 C7 Corvette has a key fob and push button start. I've heard issues of keys being stuck in the ignition in the earlier models. That's my only worry about this otherwise bad ass truck. I'm still buying one though so it's barely a deal breaker for me. Thanks very much for this very informative video!
I believe there are differences between them. What struck me when I first saw Cherry Red was the lack of any sort of pinkish tint to the color. This is a deep blood red metallic paint. If you get the chance to see them side by side I would check it out.
I love the push button start, but car makers are moving away from this option. Why, because someone with a little knowledge can capture your signal and reproduce it by the time you walk in the store and drive off with your vehicle!
I’ve got a 2015 Z71... that color screen between the gauges used to be a smaller black and white screen. And the main radio touchscreen and software is completely different. I also don’t have wireless charging. Those interior tech upgrades came after the 2015 model. Rest is the same.
I have a 2016 Colorado where the overall design is almost the same as the 2021. Only major difference is the trany (6 speed to 8 speed). A good vehicle and easy to maneuver if one does not need a larger truck. Too pricy though. However, there is one major ergonomic design flaw in all the similar yearly model designs. That is the location of the drive train control knob. It is located in a very vulnerable location at the lower left corner of the dash, along side the light control. It has a high susceptibility to be bumped by one's leg or knee when entering or exiting the cab. It moves from 2-wheel to 4-wheel Hi with little force provided by the leg or knee. It is easy to be unaware of this knob movement and also the view of the knob is blocked by most of the positions of the steering wheel unless it is all the way up. If this occurs in the summer time and one is doing high speed on a smooth surface (highway) you have the risk of deteriorated reliability of the drive train. Not good. Put both the light control and the drive train knobs in the middle bottom of the dash where the little cup indent is located. The cup indentation is useless for anything but maybe some loose change and not that very well. Put them with the other feature functional controls that are located there.
i can just tell everyone my 2016 is a 2021, i bet they still have the same silver too. 40 grand and manual seatbacks, even the keyfob hasnt changed !!!!!
Yeah I dumped my 18 before 12k miles. The transmission and or torque converter made for some awful shifting in that 8 speed. If gm would fix that and get rid of the ugly ass rake and big ole spare hanging down in the back it would be something to reconsider.
@@stevena3333 well it was a lot to pay for and nothing really exciting. I just had the running steps added. 400 dollars. Next week i have to have the bed sprayed. I have Lt version. I was not aware i was not getting the back up signal that beep if you get to close. I really miss this feature. I wish it was some way i could add this without paying a fortune. The underside where my steps are ... I can't explain how ugly it looks. You have to see to know what i am talking about. The drivers DIC... Very limited. Could have at least showed tire pressure in each tire. Are oil change time. To much money for a hull. No light in glove box. I am going to buy some kind of light and velcro it inside glove box...how sad. I could go on and own. To much plastic for a front fender.....
@@remonalee8205 that really sucks. I hope after all your Mods you can grow to love it. Hopefully you can at least use it for what you need it to do. If not, maybe see what you can get for it and cut your loses. Like a bad investment. I felt the same way as you after I got talked into buying a mustang convertible. The car was amazing, but I was so satisfied after I traded it in and bought a two door base wrangler instead. It had none of the features that the mustang did, but it just felt right. Good luck
what does GM down grade on the front brakes? i got a 2020. and all the colorados i saw has big 4piston callipers this one seems to have idk 2? wow lame
there is no point in buying new anymore, spend 40k to turn around and lose 15-20 k the next week if you try and trade it in! save your money buy a used !
What is that huge blank in the center of buttons under the screen? You seem just skipped that part. Is it a dead button or something? Why would Chevy leave a dead button in such an obvious location?
I look on Craigslist and Facebook a lot its unbelievable how many of these trucks have frame issues even ones that r not that old like 2008 or even newer.
I traded in a 2018 Z71 crew cab that I bought new for a 2020 Ranger FX4 Lariat that I also bought new. The Ranger has a better engine and suspension in my opinion. The Colorado has a better 4wd system with the auto feature being very handy in bad weather and despite only having a mechanical rear locker I never got stuck anywhere. I prefer the rangers interior as the Colorado looks slightly more dated. Both have had issues, the rear differential on the Colorado needed to be rebuilt within 800 miles due to a factory defect and then went back again because the dealership assembled it wrong. The Ranger is currently clunking when coming to a stop and taking off and if shutting sometimes when letting off the gas. It has 5000 miles and I have an appointment at the dealership in a couple days.
I could get a Canyon Denali for about 4 grand more. I've thought about the chevy, but for the small price difference it makes no sense. I'm just surprised the GMC doesn't sell better. Model to model they are about $1000 apart. Does that make or break the purchase on a 40k truck?
I wouldn't think so. I believe GMC dealers are not as common as Chevy dealers which might also play a role. At one point my immediate area had four Chevy dealers and two GMC but it has since been reduced to three Chevy.
I have a 2016 Colorado Lt 4 in hot red That I love. 2016 Has the six speed tranny that I am glad about. I heard that the 8 speed tranny had problems. I hope they got the kinks out. I love my truck. My only complain { little one } is that the rear view mirror is too big. Blocks vision alittle Other wise Love my truck. STAY WELL & SAFE FRANKIE LONG ISLAND. MILLENIUM CHEVY in NASSAU is a good dealership
Is it the same transmission that’s in the 2017 it had a lot of issues with this transmission and how about the rear axle I’ve had a lot of problems with the rear axle I own the 2017 it’s in the shop once a year with transmission and rear axle problems
It’s not a bad looking truck I guess especially considering what the Colorado started as 15 years ago or so. But I just can’t deal with the GM reliability headaches anymore.
Never heard of or seen that color in person but looking at pictures, its a little dark for me. This color isnt far off though because they both look like blood red colors without any real pinkish tint. When Cajun and Cherry red is put side by side there is no comparison to which one look better.
I have always like the Colorado/Canyon since they came out however what you get for the price is a joke. I bought an 18 SLT Sierra fully loaded Texas Edition and this dec will be 2 years that I have had it. For shits n giggles I went on the GM website and built and priced out a 21 Canyon and it priced out about $42k for a midsize for the options I wanted. When I bought my 18 sierra I got 12k off in rebates plus 1K for gm finance plus employee pricing (auto tech for gmc ) sticker on my truck was $55k I got it for $38k. I am so happy I got the 18 with the 19s came out I do not like the new generation at all.
For compact trucks things have been blown out of reason. Almost 40k? Why not a simple reliable truck with rubber floor mats, simple bench seat, and manual transmission like I bought when I got my first job. Truck was simple, reliable and I ran it 170,000 miles with no problems. Sell the new version for 20-24k. He spends most of his time talking about phone connectivity and a auto dimming mirror. Is it so hard to manually dim the mirror at night?
40 k no driver assistance leatherette seats no LED lighting no push start hard touch plastic no branded sound system no sunroof no full electric seating no dual zone climate wtf do they be smoking this should be 33k at most
I got a 2017 z71 just a few days ago (RU-vid algo gave me this vid) and am wondering what is the main difference between 2017 and now? I couldn’t really find anything myself (also not the biggest auto guy). Thanks!
@@bdarney724 I would definitely recommend getting the factory one. It seems like better quality compared to the spray in we get done plus the overspray can get everywhere on the paint and if not carefully removed can cause swirls in the paint if removed haphazardly.
Looks super dated for a newer truck had one in 2017 looked about the same on the inside. I liked the truck over all strong v6 but all the wheel well molding started falling off at about 2k miles and one of my skid plates came off driving through a small amount of water when it was pretty new and Chevy wanted to charge my like $500 to fix it…
Instead of minor cosmetic changes, GM should have done a complete remodel. When this style came out, it was butt ugly! I have the first year, 2004, and to be it's better looking.
