We embark on our first big overland trip with our 2023 Colorado ZR2 down to Arizona. We get into some serious offroading taking on trails such as Box Canyon, Crapshoot, and the infamous Backway to Crown King. We end up sustaining a bit of body damage from the trails, see some beautiful scenery, and get to camp at some beautiful spots. This is Episode 1 of a 2-part series. Thanks for watching and subscribe so you don't miss Episode 2! See you in the next video!

I've been offroading for 27 yrs and what I have learned is the importance of a well communicating spotter, radios and facetime on iphones helps a lot, especially when the camera is facing the vehicle to see what it's doing from the cockpit. Wheeling alone without proper self recovery isn't the smartest thing either, consider a winch and the appropriate satellite communicator .. we get too many folks that need rescue out here in the desert and many trails are getting shut down do to it amongst other issues. consider a buddy, 2 vehicles are always better than one, especially out there as you can see a few trucks totalled. Be safe!

We don't wheel without recovery gear. We have jacks, a full set of tools, recovery boards, straps, shovels, etc on board. We don't have a winch yet because the aftermarket on these trucks needs to catch up to get an aftermarket front bumper that supports mounting a winch. We do have a Garmin Inreach just in case of emergencies for communication and unfortunately majority of the time, our schedule doesn't line up with others when we go offroading/camping for extended amounts of time so we often wheel alone. We offroad as safe as possible and certain obstacles we have come across before and decided to turn around as it wasn't worth the risk.

People who use their trucks seriously always take the line of least resistance, the easiest route, so as to ensure they reach their destination without inconvenience, unnecessary cost and damage. Trails are tough enough without too much drama. Maybe I’m missing some people’s point but I find it as interesting to find the easy line where there is one. Must admit that mine are work trucks that I take some little pride in working hard but with mechanical sympathy. You do make great videos out of your kind of driving though. Mine would be quite boring and not have any viewers.

@outlandishoverland 28 дней назад

Majority of these trails the line of least resistance is the line I'm taking. They are difficult trails to begin with with no other options to take. I use the trucks the way they were designed to be used. As far as mechanical sympathy I change my oils far more frequently than majority of people do due to the fact of abuse the components go under.

@davids.4760 26 дней назад

I don't disagree with you, however I think it depends on where you are in your driving progression. There is great value in learning the limits of your driving and the vehicle before you get into something where you have no options. This truck is still new to them, so avoiding every tough obstacle is wasting an opportunity to learn and refine skills. I occasionally do this myself, as a tune up, even though I have been wheeling for literally 50 years. Mostly I do take the easiest routes. Vehicle sympathy is a thing, but I think it has more to do with how you drive an obstacle than the obstacle itself (within reason of course). Most of the trail breakdowns that I have seen are either due to bad driving or lack of maintenance.

@davids.4760 26 дней назад

New to the channel. I like the full size trail perspective. I travel similar trails in my Tacoma. Very good video to watch. I've been on the Box Canyon and Crown King trails. I know it's a learning process, so this is not a criticism, but the spotter will hopefully gain confidence over time and be willing to make more decisive decisions. Giving you options that you can't possibly sort out from the drivers seat is both frustrating and unproductive. Giving clear and unemotional directions is the key. Having a good spotter who knows how the truck will react to the terrain is invaluable. I don't know how much she drives, but some wheel time will help a lot. For the record two of the absolute best spotters I know are women. I mostly travel solo, so I Installed cameras and special mirrors to assist me in tough spots. As you pointed out, there are many cases where getting out to look is extremely unsafe. I look forward to seeing more from you guys.

@outlandishoverland 26 дней назад

I appreciate your kind words. The Colorado is actually a midsize truck comparable to your Tacoma. She is a bit hesitant as it is a brand new platform we got and a bit different in dimensions and the way it handles obstacles than our previous Ford Ranger. Time will help you get comfortable with the challenges and more seat time is definitely in the works!

@rossoverland 28 дней назад

Amazing video, can’t wait to go out west with my truck one day. How’s the truck running on 35’s.

@outlandishoverland 28 дней назад

Make it a priority to come out West it's well worth it. Been running good with 35s, just had to address the rubbing when articulating which has been fixed, in the rear at least.

@Vodafone16v 27 дней назад

Minute 11 you were scared of that pothole and that was nothing for that beast!

@outlandishoverland 27 дней назад

Much larger than just a pothole. The camera makes that obstacle look like nothing. The angle of the hill and the offset holes are much larger that what it seems

@joshdasher3299 28 дней назад

I was gonna ask if you had to trim to fit the 35s... The obstacle right around 17 minutes answered that question! Amazing truck, I have one on order from the dealer.

@outlandishoverland 28 дней назад

Yeah, I had just put the 35s right before this trip, and hadn't had any testing with rubbing. It has been fixed since. You will love this truck its awesome and very capable.

@joshdasher3299 28 дней назад

@@outlandishoverland what was the effort involved to fix it? Also, my wife and I volunteer as companions in any Colorado (the state) endeavors once the truck comes in!

@outlandishoverland 28 дней назад

@@joshdasher3299 I put some lift blocks in the rear and took out 2 screws that helped hold the fender flare in place and on my testing recently under full articulation no more rubbing. The front rubs a little but still need to work on fixing that. We have a trip planned in Colorado July 4th weekend to go do Engineer Pass, Imogene Pass, etc...

Dude I wish I went 😭😭

@outlandishoverland 28 дней назад

You missed out 😔

@parenbizvegasar825 17 дней назад

Next time use the Terrain mode, one pedal driving makes easier to modulate throttle/brakes. You going too fast, slow down a bit.

@outlandishoverland 17 дней назад

One pedal driving is terrible. I don't want to always brake when I let off the throttle, I like to be fully in control of the vehicle and the terrain mode prevents me from doing that. Not sure what you mean I'm going to fast as I am going pretty slow over obstacles....

@champinsoccer9 28 дней назад

Wow. That looked sweet. I'd be devastated if I scratched my ranger like that. I found you when you had your ranger, how is the Colorado compared to the ranger? That Colorado is and looks like a beast. Nice vid

@outlandishoverland 28 дней назад

Thanks! The Colorado compared to the Ranger is a huge step up in every way. Absolutely no regrets trading it in, even though the Ranger was a great truck

With 35’s and a 1inch lift, have you noticed any issues with rubbing?

@Travisj9935 28 дней назад

Which lift did you go with to run 35's? Going out alone like that.. Yall need to invest in a winch

@outlandishoverland 28 дней назад

I have a 1" leveled up lift up front and a 1" lift shackle in the rear. Winch is definitely in the works but need the aftermarket to catch up so I have bumpers to mount a winch to. The only option right now is the Victory 4x4 one and I'm not a fan of the design.

Are u using the cameras?

@outlandishoverland 26 дней назад

Yes I do, but the thing with the cameras is they don't do a good job at showing depth and size of the objects, just like filming these obstacles make them look way smaller than they actually are.

@badhombrefishing 25 дней назад

@@outlandishoverland understood. definitely familiar with camera shots and angles. maybe an opinion on how helpful they really are?

@outlandishoverland 24 дня назад

They are helpful in a lot of situations. Getting around big rocks using the side cameras and under body cameras. Front camera is also great for coming up on big hills to see whats on the other side.
