Commuting With The 2023 Chevrolet Colorado Trail Boss - What's it Like? 

I just bought a 2024 Colorado in part from this video! Seeing it actively used in a city setting was extremely helpful. Thanks for the videos you and Topher do!

This is probably the best review of the 2023 on youtube. Too many reviews have no or a very poor test drive/commute. You covered all the salient ride details others omit. The truck size thing is no joke. I remember small trucks like the mitsubishi. I remember "midsized" trucks used to be much narrower and smaller than the colorado.

14:15 The Trail Boss comes standard with All-Terrain tires. The alternative is a Mud-Terrain tire, which is absolutely worth the $495 upgrade fee! They are strangely quiet for being such a good off-road tire. Great video!

Great job on review. Really like the city driving and parking structure review. Lets face it 95% of driving is in those scenarios. Awesome

Getting mine built now, all black with the 20in wheels, plus high-output 430lbs of tork

I have 0 reason to buy one of these but I love watching your videos because of how thorough you are in giving your opinions and insight on these cars.

18:42 hahaha "I'm a little worried about this VW Jetta here braking..." I was thinking the same thing, bro. Loved this review. I really think you are a great reviewer! subbed

For the biggest bang for my buck, I bought me a 2023 Chevy Colorado LT with many options. Sorry Ford Motor Co.. but you just didn't what to deal after my second Ford Ranger XLT purchase. But that's okay, I really like this 2023 Chevy Colorado, for one its wider and the engine is bigger.

In the trail boss you also get a 2 speed transfer case with a great low range. Additionally the G80 auto locking differential in the rear. Two things which are huge in terms of capability. You don’t get those in the WT.

The idea of putting a core vehicle function (lights) behind a digital screen where you can’t access them immediately seems like a crazy idea. Although I love a lot of what the vehicle offers I simply can’t get over that design choice. I mean, how much did it really save them? And what did it cost by turning off potential buyers?

I’m going to get me a trail boss I’ve already ordered one. I’m going to put led head lights when they come out , put 34 inch tires, remove the air dam, dip the grill and have the black plastic trim painted.

I have the WT and I’m very happy with it overall. No complaints to report!

Just got my new Colorado Trail boss ✊🏿✊🏿

in your video you said you had no idea how much you drove or how many MPG it was getting. May I suggest using the trip meter.

The 2024 is coming with the high output engine & more options. I’d wait for that model.

23:55 mannn you driving here took me back to when i visited a few years ago. this place is my hometown so im glad to see not much has changed about the downtown area since i left. actually lived near campus at the time so the roads look all to familiar lol. the colorado is definitely a bit difficult to drive through those roads though, it seems 😭

not that into the truck but I'm real into that color. looks rad. also, I'd gladly trade the screen and tech for some interior materials that don't look like they belong in a sub $20k vehicle.

Now that's a minimalist interior done right honestly. Has knobs for climate control so all good by me lol. Display appearing built-in, rather than a glued on afterthought, is also a nice touch from Chevy. Edit: headlight control inside infotainment is the dumbest decision ever. Who okayed that one?

People saying the engine sounds bad I actually think it's sounds good for a 4cyl

It's a good thing you didn't live in my day when I was a kid the dash and the door panels were metal

Its crazy how large the Colorado is. Even the Ranger too. They're the size their larger counterparts used to be not so long ago.

Ford needs to update the Ranger. its ancient at this point and the Colorado is so much better

Thanks!

so as a daily driver you would recommend? how about for long distance trips? like cross country drives?

On average, how would you rate the amount of noise coming from that 4 banger? Seems most of the videos I've watched on the Trail Boss, the engine sounds buzzy and above normal noise level. I really like the looks of this truck and have priced out the truck with the options that I would want, but that engine noise level just is holding me back. BTW: Can't seem to find one in stock to test drive for myself.

The car is automatic! Let the shift knob alone, it will not wear as a if it had to be used as a manual gear box for god sake. Anyway, thumbs up.

It would be great if you could include the price of the car in the description, Thanks!

Nice truck. But I will take the maverick over this one. "Flatten college students"😂😂😂

Navigation is not free once your times up they cut you off.Glad they did apple play.

My 24 Colorado Trailboss does not have the compartment in the tailgate door. I think that's part of the soft open tailgate package because I don't have that either my door is heavy.

Ann Arbor trivia....totally unrelated to the Colorado. Ted Bundy visited here in about 1978 for a couple of days after his escape from jail in Glenwood Springs. He watched the Rose Bowl from a college bar, stayed at the YMCA, stole a Toyota and took off for Atlanta where he abandoned it. I wonder if any bar patrons remember him from that night.

Not a fan of the cloth seats, but keep in mind, you're not paying $50k for this so it does make sense

I love the look of the latest generation of Colorados, but a couple things bother me. A completely digital screen instrument panel looks cool as hell, but not with Chevy having constant software issues. I don’t trust it to last at all. The other problem I have is that everything feels like an extra requiring a package. You need like three package tiers just to get heated seats. This would be my daily driver, so I absolutely want that in the winter. Lastly I’ve seen so many 23/24 Colorado owners say how much they love the truck - but it’s in the shop for the past month. New vehicle with hardly any miles and it’s already in the shop.

The new chevy steering wheels are magnitudes ahead their old ones design wise

review a 3rd gen gs430!! best car ive ever owned (better than the sc ;) )

No heated seats in the Trail Boss !? lmao, a 2013 Hyundai Accent had heated seats.

do you go to any cars and coffee's or anything? local, and would like to say hi

I must've missed it, but can you turn the brights on with the turn signal stick?

The new Colorado is 600#s heavier than previous models!

Hate to say this, but the 4 cylinder sounds like a grass cutter. Missing the v6

A GM compact pickup with no leather, no LED headlights, no heated seats, no blindspot or cameras, bad fuel economy, and $40k? Am I getting that right?

19:03 it’s within easy reach on the top of screen,,the little yellow round button,,,how many time are really gonna turn your headlights off anyways,,,me NEVER ,,,,,everyone kept saying you have to look for it in the touchscreen ,but you don’t,,,,my 02 Silverado has no button or switch to turn off the headlights, they stay on,,,why’s everyone crying about this on the new Colorado?

Chevy cutting every possible corner on trucks nowadays. Pretty obvious they want you to upgrade to the ZR2.

it’s 430 lbs of torque. Not 390.

Pay 28k “MAX” for this, so I’ll be back In 3 years when the leases are up.

These trucks are pure garbage. Don’t believe me? Read the reviews, look at the recalls or better yet, take one thru a car wash with high speed blowers. It’s comical how shitty they are.

That color reminds me of austin yellow on the f8x m3 and m4 and it just isnt an appealing color in my opinions
