Probably because “bare bones” now means digital instrument cluster, infotainment system, back up camera, power windows etc… Back in the day a basic truck was 2WD, had a manual transmission, manual windows, an AM stereo and probably no AC.
This is Awesome , I love the reviews of all the "TOP" Vehicles, but a series of Reviews for us Peasants would be a cool side series, "Affordable Content " ?! ... thanks for the content Boss !
The WT doesn't get the G80 locker as standard but the window sticker shows the advanced trailering package which adds the G80 back. This dealer was smart and picked the right packages with the main features without inflating the price. Missing 4WD Low is a pity but I could probably live without.
You can actually custom order them and you’ll save a good amount of money since the dealership wont do all the ridiculous add ons, I was planning on ordering one and the 2 wheel drive option with the wt package 1 and 2 and the safety package came out to about 32,400 so not bad
With turbos let them warm up for 30 secs to minute. When you stop driving do the same to cool down turbo. Change oil maybe every 4k miles not 7500 like dealer wants.
Here give me your 40k, the bed liner is a measly $500…. ….that GM could have never included in the 40k. 🤦🏼♂️ This truck should not be a penny over 28k as is. Taxes and all the BS included. Out the door 28k.
05:39 must be a dealer add on that is not listed on the window sticker as my purchase of the 2024 Colorado WT (work truck) has a quiet exhaust. My tires are filled with nitrogen, the info was in the glove box. You musta been scared to put the pedal to the medal 'cause mine does 0-60 mph in 8 seconds, the engine brake helps to slow it down. something I think has to do with the tow package. Your front door panels look plain compared to mine. Mine was bought in NM, maybe the one tested on this video was a specific for the State of Utah?
Needs a longer bed, but with the tailgate down and an extension bracket you'd have a longer bed. Bedliner from Chevy is $395, or tbh it might be $345 can't remember exactly
I've recently purchased a 2024 WT Mine has the 237 hp engine but the dealership has a factory tune that doesn't void the warranty for $400. that offers a 40 hp gain I love mine but wish that I could have gotten the turbomax 310 hp motor
@@KennyG_420 Not quite sure on that one but I would assume the Turbomax 310 is better than the V6 it’s definitely built tougher and torquier. I’ve got the 237 hp version but plan on getting the factory 40 hp flash tune upgrade No complaints here Plenty of get up and go for what it is
@@Holden-McGroin thanks! I listened and watched because I like to multitask. I was more expressing the fact I did not realize you could option the WT up.
I would love to replace my 97 WT with a four door. But I seriously doubt the turbo four will be as durable and easy to maintain as my V6. Plus it seems a bit pricey for a WT. I could live without all the electronics. Nice review though. 👍🏻
0:43 is not the engine you specified. For 2024 GM dropped the mid size engine that was named TurboMax plus. The description you give here is for the Turbomax HO The window sticker just says Turbomax which is around 237hp. I just bought one on black Friday 2024. 02:25 my tailgate came with a tool storage area or can use for a beverage cooler as it also has a drain. Once the tailgate is locked you can't open the storage. 04:59 My sales person did not know what the area was on the left side of shifter. Mine is not a 4 x 4. This model has an advanced trailering package for 945 bucks, gee, mine has a trailering equipment package for 480 bucks. Betcha there isn't too much difference. The HO model can pull 7700 pounds. The Turbomax can only pull 3500 pounds 05:19 you can see the price of the engine. If it was the HO the price is about 3-400 bucks more. 2023 Models where the Turbomax Plus was used it was a 310 hp, the dealer upgrade to that model then made it an HO, costing around $350.00. I spent about 40 hours researching the 2024 Colorado WT. The LT models have more interior accessories which I didn't want any extra Bling. Note to senior citizen males: the steps on the rear, if your knees bother you, you can't use the steps. Middle and high school kids can probably use the steps as well as anyone not having knee issues. I'm a little bummed seeing that this model is a 4 x 4 for $37,190, mine was $34,775, if I got to the dealership 4 days before, there was an identical model that had an auto locking rearend ($325.00). Now have to make a 3rd trip to the dealership and ask questions about what's this and that under the hood. There is no radiator cap and I can't find a dip stick for the automatic 8 speed transmission. Inside on the driver's side is a big clear ball with reddish liquid which I think is coolant, following the piping shows that. All engines have electric power steering and an electric water pump and will continue to run after turning off the engine, probably on hot days where the A/C and towing will occur. Not on 39 degree days. The belt only powers the Alternator and the A/C Compressor. Programming the screen is a time consuming job but the owner's manual sure leaves out a bunch of need to know how to stuff. My model had the standard Convenience and the number 2 package. love the 8 position driver's seat with lumbar support. The speakers in the cab are extremely loud as I only got to 3/4 volume level. First new truck for me in 65, no 50 years. 2024 2025 ADD $30,000.00 to the sales price for the American TARIFFS. Glad I got mine when I did.
Check out the in depth description and cut away model of the Duramax engines at this YT channel; ruclips.net/video/p-RnRlCygHM/видео.htmlsi=R_DMM-fLYYQcp1k_ This link to this video was awesome to watch, 3 position cam? I'm an Old School engine person and this is Jet science as in jet aircraft. My wife says we're in the Jet age. I would say all Salespeople should watch this as it is a good learning tool.
GM could have at least painted the front bumper. Seriously? Unpainted black plastic is ridiculous. It looks like a half finished vehicle. And those spare tire looking wheels. Yuck. 🤢
@@EliastheKiNg34 it would have cost GM under $100 to have the bumper painted. For the price they’re charging it should be standard. A sea of black plastic looks terrible, work truck or not. Just wait until it’s all sun faded and worse looking.
Good to see a review of a work truck, instead of another ridiculous $70k off-road Tonka.
Crazy times we live in when a bare bones basic work truck is pushing 40k
And it’s not even a Silverado
Barebones is only $29.5K so you're tripping, 40K is a loaded daily driver with all the latest features.
Probably because “bare bones” now means digital instrument cluster, infotainment system, back up camera, power windows etc… Back in the day a basic truck was 2WD, had a manual transmission, manual windows, an AM stereo and probably no AC.
It shouldn’t even be that much. I just looked at WT today it was 33K with the convenience package II
Electronics. Why do I need parking assist, lane monitor, assistant braking, Bluetooth, didn't ask for it

I thought Chevy was cheap bc the lowest trim have small screens but this is ok for me nice video awesome review

I'm actually very impressed by it's payload number ... all and all very kool truck, ty for sharing.
Affordable. Hoping for 30k.

I like the steel wheels, they’d look a lot cooler if they were black with a chrome hub cap.

close enough, welcome back small proper truck

but the dealership has a factory tune that doesn't void the warranty for $400. that offers a 40 hp gain

Is the turbo max 310 motor is equivalent to like a V6 engine?

No complaints here
Plenty of get up and go for what it is
Correction
I checked my factory sticker I actually have the 310 hp Turbomax motor
@@JeremyChildress nice that actually have the turbo all along, I guess that’s why you never noticed no problems with it “getting up a going” lol
@@KennyG_420 Guess so
I’m just slow and didn’t pay attention to the sticker close enough 😆
I would give up the second seat for a bigger bed...
Crazy they don't make ext cab
Suggestion: LV3 motor option. With a T5 manual transmission. New Name:
Chevy Colorado Extreme.
The only thing I would change with that truck is I would go with the nicer rims and the V6 and blue
Unfortunately no V6 available anymore
😎Yyyeeeaaap, toss in the bedliner, dampened tailgate and we're good 2 go.
I thought the WT trim had a lower output engine.
That’s standard, turbomax is an option. If you listened to the video you would know that lol.
It does. You can always add expensive extras
@@Holden-McGroin thanks! I listened and watched because I like to multitask. I was more expressing the fact I did not realize you could option the WT up.
@@jbpmidas Makes sense to me brother!
I thought I was driving a 2024 WT as my work truck but Mine does not have an arm rest or cruise control???

A GREAT DAILY DRIVER AND FAMILY HAULER.
Thing sounded like a leaf blower when you started it.
Wheres the spare tire? Are they leaving those out of the trucks too?
Gotta go GMC, so much nicer inside. When you're already at that 40K mark then add a few grand and increase the comfort. It's always worth it.
Suggestion: De Regulation
They selling those truck for 22k now
When will the brush guard be available for this model and the 2023 version
Thank you so much
Would love 48 inches between the wheel wells
Kind of crazy this video was posted 42 minutes ago and not one comment. I guess I’ll be the first.
Why is it a work truck? What if you want to have fun with it?
GM will find out via the Onstar system. They'll send out their minions and take the truck back.
I don't understand why their backup camera doesn't cover the whole screen
How is that a "basic" truck? Nothing with a touch screen infotainment system will ever be basic.
You can find this new for $28,000

@@AustinTA-cd9rs so spend more money not hard
$37,000???? I do not find that affordable at all. Call me cheap but that’s ridiculous for what you get.
Only $15,000 overpriced.
