Love the review as I wait for mine to come in. I would have loved a little more time and love for the wheels. This is the only video I’ve found so far that has the Colorado with the 20’s
Nice truck. Looking for a TB myself. Upgrade those halogens with some led bulbs 💡. Will make a big difference. Although I’ve seen some reviews where people say the factory headlights are pretty bright. The look doesn’t bother me so much compared to some of the competitors. Ram, Jeep, Ford halogens look a lot older than these. Enjoy that beauty!
Yeah definitely check out a TB! Overall it's a great truck (so far) and I'm really enjoying it. The halogens aren't terrible, definitely miles better than any halogens were 10 years ago, but LEDS should still be the norm by now in my opinion.
That's a fair take, and I'm mostly in the same boat. If it's a super refined and nice interior, I'd feel guilty getting the truck dirty or putting it to work.
The LEDs definitely blind other drivers but they're also way brighter. Most other drivers have LEDs, I want them too. The halogens on the trail boss aren't horrible tho. Totally drivable.
Cheers! The 20s are great, you'll love them. The blue looks crisp too. I like my white tho, doesn't show scratches easily and easy to keep clean. It's a great truck so far, I'm sure you'll enjoy yours!
Buying tires to fit on them 20" rims will be quite expensive deal. Plus damn 20" wheels are quite pricey being over 300.00 to 400.00 a piece if you have to go replace one that has gotten too damaged by a rock while over landing in the mountains.
Best of luck. Mine was BUILT March 13th. 90 days later and it's still sitting at the plant. Code 4200, ready to ship. I live in Iowa, the neighboring state!
Parents owned a vehicle like that. It is exhausting. You have to walk up to the truck, pull out this device, then use your own finger to press a specific button. Only then does it unlock your door. You still have to open the door yourself too. It's crazy. You could be dead by then.
@treasurethetime2463 ikr. It's just like when I go to the grocerie store and have to scan and bag my groceries instead of waiting in line for 5 minutes. Such a giant waste of time and so hard to do
As a long ford fan, Chevy knocked it out the park. Comparing to the new ranger and the new Tacoma. Both of them are nice but they don’t offer what this does. If they’d make it have cruise control I’d buy it. As a ford fan as stated I think ford messed up with the ranger with no rear ac vents when their global ranger does have them. And the Colorado has them! Come on ford!
I’m originally from Detroit, every single person in my family worked for Ford Motor Company and Ford is all I have ever owned. After owning my 2017 Ford escape which is a complete piece of junk. I will never buy another Ford again. My father and grandfather will be turning in their graves.
Nice! I'm a big fan of the white honestly. It's really grown on me. I really didn't want it at first, but it's so easy to keep clean. Also cuz panda bear truck 🐼
Man I have been looking for a real world video on this truck. Hope to see more content with this truck. I am between this and a at4. With how cheap that plastic sounds I’ll probably go with the at4.
I'll definitely have more content on the way with the truck. If you could choose between the trail boss and the at4 and cost wasn't a factor, hands down it go with the at4. Trail boss will run you anywhere from 3k-$7k+ cheaper depending how you spec the trucks. If you have any specific questions, let me know. I test drove both.
@@scootersstuff good to hear it man I subscribed. I am trading in my ram to downsize a bit so I am between a fully loaded trailboss or a bare bones at4. If I go with the trailboss it’s gonna end up looking just like yours. Clean looking truck.
@@95mayfield thanks man, appreciate the sub. I think you can't go wrong, either a loaded trail boss or bare bones at4 should be an upgrade (tech and feature wise) over your ram unless the ram is a newer one. both solid trucks. ~250 miles and about a week into owning the trail boss now and I have no regrets.
Lol it's definitely not a deal breaker to me and I don't mind, but my Subaru had it and I've been conditioned to reaching for the handle and the car unlocking. Just something to get used to for me and wanted to point it out for others to make them aware.
It’s not a big deal in the big scheme of things but I’m also used to having it. I’m still constantly just pulling on the door handle expecting it to be unlocked. Definitely having to retrain myself.
Picked up the WT version in the same color with the tech and convenience packages. Was able to use the supplier discount to get it about $1500 below MSRP. So about 34k before taxes. Not bad. I’ll add the TB wheels/tires, flares and maybe the lift later on. Mine is also just 2WD but I’ve never once needed 4wd since I started driving 25 years ago. So figured I’d just save the cash. Anyways, loving the truck so far. I Had the high output tune done earlier today.
Looks Nice But Damn! As big as that thing is, you might as well have gotten a full size. Now I understand why every New Ford Maverick is sold out within a week.
Def opt for the convenience II package to get regular cruise control, or the tech package to get the adaptive cruise control. I do a lot of highway driving and that was a no brainer for me. I need cruise control.
People shopping for a Colorado trail boss should look at the gmc canyon elevation for around the same price you get the lift wide body leds high put engine and other standard features
Fai enough, it's all preference! If that's a deal breaker for you, so be it. It'd be a shame cuz this truck is awesome so far, besides the few quirks and minor shortcomings. Everything "negative" about the truck, I can get over though.
I was so close to ordering one of these and decided not to. I bought a '23 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x instead. This thing is missing so many features that should be standard or at least optional. No heated seats. Can't get their fake leather seats with the tech or second convenience package. Every contact point looks and feels cheap. Its really a shame. Also, active fuel management on a 4-cylinder? Come on. I optioned the truck I was going to order out to about $44,500. Purchased my Pro-4X for about the same after incentives and talking the dealer down (48,150 msrp). It came with every single thing the Colorado was missing, and I got a 3.8l v6 without fuel management, instead of a 4 cylinder that turns into a 2? cylinder on the highway. This isn't a plug for the Pro-4x, its just ridiculous how badly they missed the mark on this trim level.
Definitely some oversights on the trail boss trim. I considered the frontier pro 4x as well. Keep me posted long term how you like your truck, I'd be interested
I've used Google pixels and androids my entire life. Never owned an apple product. I'm very used to and invested in the Google/android OS. If you're coming from apple, I can see the hesitation. All said and done, screen is massive. High resolution, super snappy and responsive too. The OS is clean. I'm a big fan.
I'm on the fence for the Trail Boss and the Canyon. I've read they are making improvements for the 24s and if heated seats are an option for the Trail Boss that would be my choice.
You can set it to automatic. Your headlights will come on and turn themselves off. I leave mine on automatic and never have any issues with them not turning on, they'll turn on automatically about an hour before sunset.
Andre of tri RU-vid channel is already having problems at 6 weeks of ownership with the instrument cluster digital information not coming up on the screen. That is totally unacceptable issue yo be dealing with on a 1.5 month old truck one has purchased for over 44 grand.
@@harolddenton6031 if his truck was over $44k how does he not have cruise control? even regular cruise control is included in convenience 2 package which is only like $950 or so. but yeah, absolute shame. no issues with mine yet. new gen and new software for infotainment, sure to be some kinks. guess he just got unlucky.
Shots fired 🔫 was not my intention! But the adaptive cruise control and lane centering is killer. I do a ton of long road trips and highway driving. Previous car was a 21 Subaru WRX 6 speed MT and that was not great on long road trips.
Andre ordered before all packages were made available on internet so didn't realize it didn't have cruise As to his problem he had pluggeed in an aftermarket electronics device measuring speed,tac,gps etc in the reader port left side and that threw out computer. Simple disconnect of battery to reset computer and all was back to normal and has been since so don't make out Colorado has major issue
With my 2023 trailboss on initial start up it revs a little hi like 1500 rpm then about 15 sec later in comes down to 7 or 800, but doesn't do it after ive been driving it, starting and stopping, was just wondering if yours does this?
Z71 is a great truck too, I test drove one. Was just a little too expensive for my taste, the one I test drove was over $50k out the door. Can't go wrong with either one! Also check out the GMC canyon. 2 inch lift and fender flares/wide body is standard on all the GMC canyons. They have a little nicer material choice for the interior as well, but a little more pricey.
In east tennessee last weekend I test drove a 2021 Colorado z71 that only had 26,141 miles on it. That this was cool looking and it did drive smoothly not once seeming to hunt for gears like the 3.5 v6 engine sonet8mes does in my 2023 Tacoma trd off road truck that 21 colorado z71 was pretty much fully loaded options. They wanted 46k fir it. I am just concerned that it might have issues inside the engine for someone to trade it in so soon. My cousin is a mechanic. He told me the bearings on the camshafts sometimes went bad on those 2021 chevy v5 engines.
@@harolddenton6031 that was an issue with the previous gen alot of people had. transmission struggled to find gears and shifted roughly. i worked at a Chevy dealership and last gen definitely had some quirks with the drivetrain. hoping this new motor and trans on this gen is stronger!
@@derrickkellar959 why would I want a turbo’d v4, more moving parts, more unproven tech, more computers to be easily friend, more time with the mechanic, less endurance
I'm not entirely sure, I haven't had the chance to take it off road yer. Pretty great from the other videos I've seen. I'll definitely get it out soon and report back with a video.
Haha a 40k plus truck with a manual sliding rear glass window. Come on chevy you could learn something so simple from toyota, My 2023 Tacoma Ted off road truck has a powered rear sliding window. Also why the heck would you not have a physical button to turn on the headlights!
I don't mind the headlights being in the infotainment. I leave them on auto and they come on well before it actually gets dark. The rear sliding window being manual is kinda a shame, but at least it's an option. You can get a trail boss without the convenience I package which would leave you without a rear defroster and without the sliding window.
Dude can you stfu already ? I get it you love your freaking Tacoma. Guess what ? There are other flavors of ice cream, not everyone wants the same thing.
No hitch. I believe you have to get the trailering package to get a hitch, but I could be wrong. Sales manager at the dealership said something about hitches being on factory constraint at the time of order so none of their new colorados had them yet
Rubber steering wheel. Speakers are horrible the worse for this truck application and no LED headlights for a trailboss which mine was also sticker price at 43k+ ?! But other then that this truck is a game changer 💯💪
Agreed. Rubber steering wheel, meh. Mines actually broken in a bit and has a bit of a different texture now. Could always throw a cover on it if you really want. I think the speakers are pretty good (for a stock system) but I'll be adding a powered subwoofer, new speakers, and an amplifier eventually. No LEDs is just a big letdown, c'mon GM. But like you said, other than those few things...it's an awesome truck so far.
Damn, this truck is cheaply packaged for what you pay. Halogen headlights/tails, unwrapped steering wheel (not even generic leather), and most importantly in 2023, no keyless entry! GM can keep this plastic crap. I'm not a Toyota fan boy, but please, don't disrespect a Toyota using its name in the same breath as Colorado or Canyon.
Was just throwing some light shade. The Toyotas are archaic in terms of tech, but they're awesome trucks too. I love tacos too. I've just been following the Colorado refresh since it was leaked and have been drooling over them ever since. It really is an awesome truck, Tacomas are great too tho
@@scootersstuff You could throw all the shade you want on Tacomas, never been a fan of those trucks 🤢. I'm just upset that GM and Ford build such terrible vehicles for the American market. I've seen GM and Ford vehicles in Europe and Latin America, and I am quite impressed. GM and Ford throw us a refreshed grille every other year and we Americans jump for joy like if they care about us. Europeans and some markets in Latin America won't put up with the cheap interiors that GM and Ford give us in the USA. For God's sake, around 9 years ago, I jumped in a Chevy Cruze taxi in Portugal and the car had leather seats, heated rear seats with AC vents, turbo engine, HID projector headlights that self adapted with turns and built in sunshades in the rear doors...over 9 years ago! I understand our outdated federal transportation laws put a damper on what can be produced for the American market, but c'mon.
@@peter8142 agreed, GM is definitely a strange manufacture with their choices for domestic offerings. Ford is an entirely different beast though, I've owned 1 Ford in my life and hated everything about it.
@@scootersstuff I would take a Ford from the European market in a heartbeat. Ford makes cool cars in Europe. GM's are okay, but their cheap rental-car fleet interiors turn me off tremendously.
Wow having to manually unlock the truck is bs. Every car out there for the past 10 years unlocks if you have the key fob on you and close to the vehicle. That hoestly sucks
Idk, the new tundras have alot of problems with the hybrid drivetrains. Those are in the new Tacomas too. All said and done, I'm totally manufacturer agnostic. GMs got some great trucks, Toyota does too. Realistically you can't really go wrong with any modern vehicle 🤷♂️ Modern engineering is a great thing
It is strange, I think they were just trying to clean up the steering column and "modernize" the truck. Would not have been difficult to just include another dial or button on the turn signal/windshield wiper tho.
Definitely nicer, but also $5-$6k more expensive. I don't justify having a little nicer interior that much personally. The AT4 is a great truck too tho
@@thomaslehmann5981 it is, but you have to add a few packages to the canyon elevation to get features my trail boss has (tech package, convenience i&ii packages, safety package) and once you option the elevation it ends up being $3-$5k more. i built a few canyon elevations and considered building one, but all you really get for that extra $3-$5k is a nicer interior all said and done. i didn't mind the more rugged interior of the trail boss, so went with that.
