- What it do RUclips?! I've been frustrated lately. Check Engine Light keeps coming on, and then going off. The day of my appointment at the dealership, the CEL was off, so they said they can't help. I tried taking it to AutoZone, they weren't able to help. THEN to top if all off, while recording this video, my infotainment is being unresponsive.

So since when is a truck that’s built for the trails have to have heated seats and leather steering wheels? Sounds like you want a pavement princess and should have gotten a different trim.
My thoughts exactly when I watched this. If he wanted the "nicer" stuff, should've got the Z71
100% heated seats are nice to haves.....but def should be standard in a $42.5k MSRP new truck in 2023!
@scootersstuff not when that truck is based on a work truck. And at 42k it might be expensive based on pre-pandemic prices but the average cost of a new car is $48k.
@@scootersstuffdidnt you know what you where buying? If it was too expensive why did you go with it?
There are trails in colder states
The Trail Boss interior was designed to have that "cheap" interior, plastic door panels, steering wheel, dash, etc was made for off roaders that when you get it dirty inside everything wipes down and cleans easier, I have the Z71 - 2023 - and I have alot nicer materials - door panels, leather steering wheel, seats, red stitching everywhere etc, and yes I needed the heated seats so I went with the Z71, the 2023 colorado is only slightly larger on the inside than the previous 2015- 2023s, I did learn by accident that when you hold down the unlock button on the keyfob for 5 seconds or more all of the windows will automatically lower themselves if the truck is running or not, I will have to pay attention to that when its raining or snowing or just in a shopping center parking lot, I guess it was made to let the heat out before you get in the truck? as for price nothings cheap anymore the average price of new vehicles is around $40,000 which puts it in the same price as the Tacoma and Frontier
Could you tell me what you paid out the door for your z71? I’m definitely considering buying one! Thanks
Why did you buy this truck obviously didn't do any research. 😢
This is why I went with the GMC Canyon. Much nicer interior appointments, plus heated seats, more soft touch areas, and high out put engine with 310hp and 430ft lbs torque. Higher lift, better tires, and the list goes on and this is with the entry level Elevation trim.
Costs a lot more too.
@@gmodesike 42k with destinations charges, and TTL.
I agree. Had a 2022 canyon elevation. First truck and loved it. Lost it to an accident a year later. Got the 2023 AT4 and love it even more
Yeah that’s the exact same for the zr2. Same out put and everything. The at4x and the zr2 are literally the same truck.
1- don't want/ need heated seats.
2- cheap plastic. Meh. Easy to clean.
3- steering wheel cover where i live anyway.
4- halogen headlights, meh. Cheaper to replace.
5- back seat pockets and armrest... creature comforts. No big deal.
This truck is for someone who wants a truck for a truck. If you want creature comforts or it to be a status symbol, pay more for something for validation. Easy.
This is true. Really just wanted to point this out to others. If you're looking for "luxury" or at least a "nice" interior, look at the GMC Canyon, a Z71 Colorado, or a loaded LT Colorado.
The trail boss is a lifted work truck with a wider stance. Can only put but so much lipstick on a pig.
I will say, from looking at the trail boss from the outside, I think it looks the best out of any new Colorado or even Canyon. It looks mean, and I love that.
Well said,this guy needs to buy a freakin taco. Lol
What would you expect from a $45k truck...my my have times changed lol
@@ThreePhase123 obvious captain obvious. In the same time frame, a $150k house goes for over $500k. Min wage has gone up 2-3x.... everything has changed in the last 2 decades. Why should cars be immune? People who say these should be 20k are living in denial.
@albertmcfry6322 if he wants a truck that does nothing better, sure, get the last generation taco. Less comfort, power, space, mpg.... now the new taco is better but looks like it was patched together.
Press the onstar button and ask for a vehicle diagnostics when the check engine is on will give you a code in less then a min
I have the Trail Boss and love it zero issues zero mark up over msrp.. I've had several trucks and currently have a 2017 Silverado and The Colorado is by far the best driving truck I've owned.
Who buys a mid size truck for a family of four or five including larger teenagers?
You have a good point about the absence of a physical knob to turn the lights on.
Could be a simple low battery. New cars can have batteries sitting for over a year. Put a topping charge on it and see if the check engine light stays off or not. Modern vehicles are extremely sensitive to battery voltage especially ram trucks
Correct
Also, this model does not have a gas cap. Make sure the flap is creating a good seal. Will throw a check engine light as well.
Great truck, great motor. For the money the new Colorado is an amazing deal. If you want heated seats and a nicer interior buy the Z71 or ZR2.
Checked out the ZR2 and decided on an even nicer truck, the GMC Canyon AT4X 😊
@@traviskimbrell1209brother it’s the same thing…
@@StagonRatedEclose, but not quite.
Because of your video, Im going to buy a 2023 Colorado this weekend. That truck is beautiful and the best built most reliable small truck available. Those were geese by the way.o
Gm technician here! Seems like cause of some of your symptoms could possibly just be a battery issue! We just got 3 in at my dealership Friday and 2 of them had bad batteries causing the engine light and funky things with the screen.
My ‘23 Colorado has the same issue with the infotainment system. Doesn’t respond to touch. Started the day after I purchased it. I bought it on June 23rd.
@@louistiberio4519 Man I’m sorry to hear that really wish gm would up there quality control seems to be getting worse for new customers. Hopefully the local dealer will be able to take care of you!
@@joshuaduteil3210 yea they are backed up two weeks at the moment, so looks like I am gonna have to deal with it for a little bit.
Dude, thanks for the input. I've scheduled a few appointments at the dealership, but the CEL has gone off by itself before being able to take it in.
I'll book another appointment and make sure they check the battery too. That's what warranties are for 🤷♂️
Thanks for chiming in!
Big sad :( shit happens with first years of new gens, especially with a lot of tech in these new trucks.
My 2017 ZR2 has zero issues 47 thousand miles. Love it.
Right there with you. I have the 2018 ZR2, 36,000. Like you, zero issues.
Still a nice looking truck. Looking into the ZR2. Problem is you're right, prices are inflated. Consumer still pays it and these manufacturers are seeing they can get away with it sadly.
So inflated 50k for a Tacoma…
Inflation doesn’t mean manufactures and suppliers are indiscriminately charging more. It means across the entire economy, things cost more because the dollar has lost value. In most cases, business profit margins are thinner in times of inflation.
Yes people still paying it but madly. we all still need vehicles to buy but we have no choice if we need the new vehicle.
I got my Nissan frontier at sticker price
They ain’t getting away with it with me! I’ll keep my 2018 Colorado LT 4x4 Crew Cab with a long box that is no longer offered with this new generation. When I’m ready for a new truck, it damn sure won’t be GM
I picked up a 2023 canyon elevation about a month ago..... I was loving the truck until I went to start it one morning and the battery was completely dead..I was able to jump it and drive it for a couple days with no issues. 2 days later I had the same issue with the battery being dead, I was able to jump it but it took a while. The very next day it died again and I was unable to jump it. I got it towed to the dealership and it has been there for 4 days, they still can't figure out how to fix the issue. I recently found out this is a common problem for MANY 2023 canyon/Colorado's. I'd hold off on buying this first gen truck until they iron out their issues... 🍋
Right I just bought a Colorado had it a month every thing went out they can't fix it and I'm in my lemon law rights I think I will pass on this so disappointed.
Turn off the auto update. It will try to update till battery runs dead
I say; EXPENSIVE AND GARBAGE GMC MADE IN CHINA. 😮
May want to check your fuses. Roughly half of the fuses in my Colorado weren't completely seated and needed to be pushed down. Also, holding down the hang up phone button will reset your infotainment screen.
That's a great tip on the hang up phone button! Thanks!! I'll check the fuses too for sure, cheers
The radio screen gets really hot burn my fingers. 😢. The check engine is on ,battery died on the nex day and have a lot code on it screens engine and transmission,brake light ect everything going bad 😢😢😢. I throw to the thrash my money 😢
EXACTLY! I have a 2024 ZR2 and found the same thing. After seeing vids of it, the day I brought it home I fixed that so it could never be an issue.
Unhook your battery and wait a few minutes to rehook it. Also, check your fuse box and make sure they look good. It might fix some of your problems. It fixes some other trail boss owners' issues.
I have a 2023 Colorado ZR2 on order and very excited to take possession
I'm waiting on mine too buddy
That's exciting! ZR2s gonna be a badass truck. Congrats!
I would want a 2 door ZR2 Blazer.
I traded my 2016 Silverado z71 off road last June 30th for a 2022 Colorado, redline, gloss black , v6, tow package, 2wd, I love it, I miss my Silverado, 5.3 v8, but it had constant transmission issues and we don't need 4x4 where we live, plus my v6 does not have that cylinder deactivation or start stop bullshit, when I hit the gas pedal to go, it goes
I’ve got a 22’ Canyon Elevation. I’ve driven late model Silverado’s and Sierra’s with the 5.3l V8 and my truck is demonstrably faster in every way, from a dig it’s a blast. And your truck gets better fuel economy than that V8 did too!!
@@nelsonvanvickle8862 yup 👍
Toyota always in this class of trucks!
Purchased 2023 Colorado ZR2, now have 12k miles and not one problem. LUV LUV LUV the engine, from baja, advanced off-roading to 85mph on the highway this truck scores big.
I just bought a 23 z71 and I love it. Pricey but badass.
My pathfinder in almost 20 years old no problems!
Just did the undercoating and scraped off all rust.
Next I'm going to paint correction and hopefully ceramic coating. 2nd owner was my father he bought it in 2005..
All cars and especially all newer cars will have problems save money keepnyour car love your car and be thankful for where it takes you and what it's able to keep up with.
Make memories.
Hundred percent agree with the lack of physical lights. But a couple clicks on amazon would fix a couple of interior issues. Infotainment not working is insane though
I agree with you, and I dont mean to be 'that guy' but the trail boss was a wt with the wide suspension, that's it. Check engine light aside you recieved exactly what they said they'd build. For the money I bought an at4. The 10k price difference seemed worth it.
For sure. I knew what I was getting into with the trial boss. This video was more so aimed at people considering the trail boss, but expecting GMC level interior and creature comforts. If you're looking for that, the trial boss ain't it.
How are you liking your at4? That's a mean truck, I wanted one, but couldn't justify the cost difference.
@@scootersstuff patiently waiting lol. Placed the order like 4 months ago. It'll get here when it does. I'm not like the guys in the fb groups harassing their salesman every day. I too am not entirely eager to make the payment but I'm hoping to make parts and content on the truck so it'll pay for itself over time.
@@BadlandIndustries oh hell yeah that's awesome! i just checked out your channel, you're lucky you're out west. tons of offroading and rock crawling and overlanding to do.
im in the mid Atlantic, there's definitely plenty of offroading around, BUT they're all on super skinny mountain roads that are overgrown. you're guaranteed to earn your stripes. im too scared to put my brand new trail boss thru the ringer yet...it's still so new and nice to me.
hopefully can get out west soon and give the truck a few proper trail days to test it out off-road!
@@scootersstuff my colorado will be the crazy offroader but I won't say I won't put a couple scratches on the new canyon as well.
@@BadlandIndustries I will say whites a good color choice for offroading. a bit harder to show scratches
buying new released trucks from gm is a crap shoot. They use the buying public to find the bugs. You are helping to refine it. The vehicles that are phased out, are the ones to buy
Still the best midsize truck for the price. If you want a fancy interior, get a Z71 or ZR2.
This was a great Ford commercial. ZR2 forums are full of huge quality control issues. Also the light switch in the center screen has already led to head on collisions. GM is going to loose sooooo much money on lawsuits.
Some cars have electronics problems when the interior has been hot for awhile. Also, have you tried disconnecting the battery to clear the engine light or to fix the screen? Some of the screens are going completely blank and on TFL, they did the battery disconnect and it brought the screen back. Otherwise may have to wait for the dealer to download an update.
Tried disconnecting the battery when I got home, no luck. Think it's just a bug or likely needs an update of some sorts. Thanks for chiming in 👍
Lt.fully loaded,5300 miles zero issues.most awesome vehicle I have ever owned
I've had a fully loaded w/moonroof 2024 Colorado ZR2 for 3 months, 3,300miles, and did 3 full days wheeling in Moab when it had 750mi on the clock, and a couple weekends did a 1/2 day wheeling up in CO. I had a check engine light (knock sensor 2) come on at 718mi, and the closest dealer (that I didn't buy it from - they didn't have any) got me right in, reset the light, checked everything including the wiring harnesses, and found nothing. It was a glitch, and there has been no other errors. I did recently have an issue with a bad drivers rear tire valve stem that was causing a slow leak, and Discount Tire took the wheel off, took the tire off, checked the inside for nail (lot of new houses being built down the street), put a new valve stem in, and re-mounted the wheel for free. If Vato Zone couldn't scan for your 2023, the results are meaningless. As far as your gripes, yes, I would easily trade a couple inches of bed length to get those extra inches in the rear seat. Yes even in the ZR2, the top of the door is hard plastic - don't care. Yes the dome light is incandescent - but SRSLY, who really gives a f@ck? I love the truck, has WAY more offroad capability than I do as a noob driver, and aside from mediocre gas mileage (I have another car for daily driving) which I EXPECTED as a truck, I love the thing. Don't like yours? Sell it then.
If you want heated seats you should have bought a Z71! Then add tires. When I bought my 2019 Crew Cab SB 4x4 WT, V6, I found one with every option available in a WT. That’s been a flawless runner, working hard for 63,000 trouble free miles, about 10k worth was towing at a Cat Scale certified 10,250 lbs CGVW. With ease and plenty of power towing a 26’ travel trailer. The truck came with the towing package and trailer brake control, appearance package that came in one color bumpers, door handles and grill, dark tinted windows and 16” alloy wheels. The WT Convenience Package with easy lift locking tailgate, cruise control, plus upgraded 7” touch screen with 6 speakers, Bluetooth and OnStar 4 G LTE WIFI, that’s great when traveling and camping! Not to mention the other advantages of OnStar, including 20% discount on insurance! Plus the skid plate under the transfer case. The best part? Was the out the door price, with dealer installed ZR2 type skid plate package that accommodates the dam air dam, of $34,500! Including a GM 100,000/84 mo bumper to bumper warranty! Then at 30,000 miles I had new struts/shocks installed, with Bilstein 5100’s, with the front set at 2”, and the rear with 1” blocks. That has really enhanced the ride and handling on an off road, especially speed bumps and flying down the beaches. I fit 265/75-16 Cooper Discoverer RTX tires at 32”. If I were to trade for another truck it would be a Gladiator. The worst part about the newer Colorado WT and LT, is the fact you can’t get 4x4, with LOW RANGE! At any price, only Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2 gets a two speed transfer.
I’m on my third ZR2, 18/21/23 love it! Most people who buy them don’t actually use them like they’re meant to be, off road at least 25% of the time. The Canyon AT4X is a nice truck too.
I bought me a 2022 z71 Colorado last year brand new and boy I’m so happy I got the 2022 z71model!! Seeing all these videos of people complaining (rightly so) about the 4 cylinder engine, lack of leather interior, digital headlights, etc… I’m so thankful for mine as it does have all leather interior, long tested 6 cylinder, manual buttons, etc. hope Chevy reverts all these changes in the future…
I have a 2023 4wd lt and no problems here , heated seats center console arm rest/cup holder in the back seats.
leather seats and stitched steering wheel.
awesome truck.
I just bought the 2023 elevation and I simply love it! No complaints so far. Traded in my full size for it.
I did exactly what you did. In March I sold my 2019 Sierra to Car Max and after the deal I ended up making 7k after paying off GM Financial. With my new Canyon I can tow just as much as I could with the Sierra and the 5.3 v8 power train. It maneuvers better then the Sierra. Turns and stops quicker and is easier to park and maneuvers better in traffic. It's just a joy to drive compared to the Sierra which was like driving a bus to work everyday.
I have the 2023 Colorado with some nice options. In a different post someone had the same check engine light issue and it turned out to be the first flap of the gas filler not sealing. All it took to fix was to push the flap down and let it flap up to seal again and it was fine. Simple fix.
I was surprised there is no way to turn the headlights on and off.
The Colorado does have enough space between the wheel wells to fit a sheet of plywood or sheetrock (>48") which is better than most mid-sized pickups.
Yeah the button for that is on the 11.3 screen.
Got rid of my mid size (small gas tank & too cramped inside) truck, luv my 32 gallon gas tank, full size crew cab.
i bought a 23 trail boss and absolutly love it
I used to be an all Chevy guy. I still have a 69 stroker Chevelle. The last new Chevy I bought was in 1996. I got tired of problems and lack of reliability. I switched to new Fords and Toyotas and have never regretted my decision since.
I just bought the “top of the line” Z71 on Tuesday, only option I didn’t get was the sun roof and I absolutely love the truck! I looked at the Ranger and the Yota and the Colorado seemed way better quality. I did purchase the 10 year warranty though, just in case😊
How much is the warranty?
@Wopat2015
I bought a new Colorado and REFUSED ALL THE EXTENDED WARRANTY,,I NEVER BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY,ITS A RIP OFF 5k for that crap
@@jimmycline4778$5k ? Mine was $1500 for a bumper to bumper 75k miles. Even included the battery and brakes
Extended warranties are mostly a scam. They're overpriced and never seem to cover what you need them to, so I'd never buy one. If I didn't have confidence in the product, I wouldn't buy it in the first place.
Have one, no issues @ 18K miles. Software updates resolved all glitches. Heated seats: Buy sedan. Plastic: Just like Tacoma I had. Cheap steering wheel, Huh?? (NOT) - better than Tacoma I had. Lights can care less. Seat Pocket has storage on the doors and under the seat. Play in knobs, huh - NOT mine. Space, no complaints for adult passengers, Huh? Sounds like a personal preference issue - why the heck did you buy int then. Sounds like reviewer just wanted a different truck even complained about price yet bought it! Petty things, every truck has them
Seen multiple Colorados with screen and check engine lights. Glad I went with the new Frontier!
Everyone has the trailboss trim and I agree it's crap for what you pay, all the cheap plastic no thanks. We ordered a loaded Z71 and out the door will be $51k, yeah it's a lot but honestly I'd pay the extra 5k+ for a nicer interior and more bells/whistles.
Nice! You have an ETA for your truck? You can load an LT to be pretty nice too. Z71s a great option also. I knew what I was getting into with the trail boss, just wanted to make others aware.
The Trail Boss has a wider stance and 2in lift,,,,it’s a beefier better looking truck than a ZZ1,, I could have bought one sitting next to my TB but I didn’t like it, it reminds me of that last gen Colorado,,kinda weak 5k difference cause of the interior is not worth it, I have cruise control ,towing package, rear slide defrost window, dampened tailgate w storage, power seat, same screen as you, sprayed in liner, chevy all weather floor mats,,,41,200 and I put 30k down! I would be sick to my stomach if I payed 51k for this or even a full-size! ✌️
You payed 10k more than me👍 and I have wider taller better looking truck truck 💪🏻
$51k for a mid size truck😳
$51,000 for a 2023 Z71? OMG! That makes me happy I bought my 2018 LT Colorado 4x4 CCLB with LT Convenience Package for $32,000 out the door. I could have bout a 2018 Z71 for $35,000. What a ripoff those new Colorado’s are! And you can’t even get a 6ft Bed anymore!
I'll take an old restored classic from the 70s over the crap nowdays
I would trade that in for a 2023 GMC Canyon at4. A little extra money but you get alot nicer unit
GMC canyon is a NICE truck
He’s 100% right do not buy the Colorado by the canyon way better bang for your buck. And the argument regarding space is kinda mute. If you’re in the market for a midsize truck, you should have some kind of understanding that yes you were going to lose room from a half ton.
100% right, the canyon is all around nicer in every way.
Think about what you want, ZR2 and Denali boss, Denali. If you want premium, you get what you paid
We love our new 2023 Colorado Z71 FDE🥰. Power is amazing with plenty of zip 310HP/390TQ. One down side is the speed limmiter. With that much torque you’ll get there relatively quick, 98 I think….
One small issue we’ve had is with the blinker switch freezing or sticking when trying to change lanes. Applying force free’d the slightly sticky switch. However, It has happened more than once. Overall its a fun little truck to drive everywhere. We do only have a little over 2k on the odometer….🤞
I have a trailboss with like 500 miles
My blinker stick is also kinda sticky and likes to get stuck between blinker and the middle
But besides that, I haven’t got to use it much but its a fun truck
My Silverado has the speed limit too. I have heard that it is there to keep the drive shaft from flying apart if it is unbalanced.
I added Katzkin leather heated and cooled with the seat pockets. Added some usb and bed connections; now pretty nice.
I just bought the chevy colorado LT 2023 30 days ago. Am ,fm radio stopped working along with Bluetooth. Taking it back to dealership to get it fixed.
I have the GMC Canyon Denali. I have had zero issues. I came from an AMG Mercedes GLB35. I like my Canyon so much more. I think the Trail Boss is just a bad option. Might as well get the Z71 or just a base GMC since its got more standard features. Price wise, i mean yeah everything's more expensive but look at a full size with that much stuff. looking at 20k plus or more for something with similar stuff.
I just stopped by the local Chevy dealer here in East Central Saskatchewan and look at the same truck as that and it's listing for$ 51,000.00.
I love trucks. I have a Ford Ranger XL 2021, and I knew what I was buying. I love this truck with the mods I did.
I thought the trail boss had heated seats if you grab the Z71 package. Plus soft touch interior
Thanks you for posting this video. Now I am back for buying 2023 colorado 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Cheap plastic is definitely not a deal breaker for me. I looked at the new Tacoma TRD Pro. It's a $65k truck and guess what. It's got cheap plastic interior as well.
As a fellow Trail Boss buyer, I agree I would like heated seats. I know it’s a WT with a lift and painted grille. But it’s not like it’s a major factory burden to option some nicer seats. Clearly joining the >$40K club doesn’t buy you the truck it used to.
Chevy cheaped out on some weird shit with this truck. The main thing that drives me crazy is the non-extendable window visors. I had to buy a stupid little clip on visor to cover the driver side window - otherwise the sun would just cook me.
I’d pay an extra $1.5-2k for factory heated front seats - I wouldn’t pay an extra $8k for no lift, stupid wheels, leather and a tech package. Nor do I want to drive around in the apocalypse-mobile that is the ZR2. Cool truck but way too flashy for my taste.
I have had my 2023 Z71 Colorado for about 2 weeks now and love it so far. The only issue I have had is Bluetooth/Android auto not connecting or automatically disabling itself. I have made sure my phone Android Auto is up to date and can only assume the infotainment will update whenever its available. I have not had the check engine light issue at all. The rest that you mention seems to be cosmetics with that trim level.
Definitely a lot of cosmetics with the trim level. It's a work truck with a 2 inch lift and wider stance when it comes down to it. The CEL and infotainment issue are my biggest gripes. I still love the truck, I knew I was buying first year new gen and expected some hiccups, but I can't help but be frustrated a bit.
I love my trailboss,no issues. If you don’t like the cheap interior,cheap lights, and everything,why in the hell did you buy it?
Mine does the same thing. One thing I have found is to make sure your phone doesn’t log out of google. My I phone updated and phone would not connect. My google search would say sign in so I finally did and I was able to search for my phone. Before that I was going into settings and hard resetting my radio and that would also work
@@scootersstuff and upgraded engine, bigger tires, better wheels, ZR2 lower control arms...
Glad that you're able to drive it. I ordered mine back in Jan...still waiting
Oh on the ck engine lite ,check the fuel filler flap where the nozzle goes in ,just a suggestion ,also the one thing I don't understand is the hood prop rod hmmmmm ain't seen that since the 80s ,oh well just put 2 redline hood shocks on
You're always taking a risk when you buy the 1st model year of ANY vehicle. That said, the TrailBoss is sh*t for what you pay. I'd go with the Z71 because it's far better equipped with much nicer interior and you can always upgrade the suspension later if you really need the capability (most people don't). I'm currently cross shopping the Colorado Z71 and Frontier Pro4x. The Pro4x is a better value and would likely be more reliable, but the Z71 is more capable as far as hauling and towing. It's a tough call..
Never buy the first year of a redesigned vehicle. Wait until the bugs are worked out
I always thought there should be a single trim for every vehicle, with all the features added. It would make the car average out in cost because manufacturing would be simplified. And would be less confusing trying to find the 'right' trim that has all features you want.
The whole model/feature game is done on purpose to get the customer to separate from their money.
Those are Canadian Geese my friend. I'm a Chevy guy but won't be buying one because of the tranny issue the 8 speed has had in recent years.
They say for 23 it's the same one but improved, good luck with it.
FYI, i just read an article referring to battery drain, caused by software update requiring Wifi connection. If not Wifi connected, background system will continue attempts while vehicle is off.
for the interior light you can upgrade for LED light . even whit you halogen front light . I have a hold Mazda cx 5 2014 and i change all my light interior exterior for LED
That volume control is a push button OFF - ON too. The only problem on my new 2023 Chevy Colorado is that the headlights are on during the day when in AUTO Control. You're in the Bluetooth mode, switch out of that for the AM/FM Stations. I'm definitely old school, but you can't stay back in time ... Time waits for no man, they say. We just have to learn how to remedy the so called high tech glitched when they occur. I paid 44K for my Colorado LT 9 Radiant Red) but I have almost all the option as the Z71, included the lifetime bed protection, side SS step bars,, contoured mud flaps, high tech floor mats, paint shield, 7 year bumper to bumper, and 4 window shades (which I don't like the brand). I recently had the truck rust-proofed for almost $700. I'm a senior citizen (75), so this is the last vehicle I'll ever own, which I'll Will to my son. The Chevy Dealer was the only dealership that gave me money on my 21 yo Ford Ranger XLT which I purchased new in 2002, plus they gave me a military discount. So, the 2023 Chevy Colorado was a perfect match for me. With the Auto Workers going on strike, lucky me I already made 2023 new vehicle purchase, price of vehicles will skyrocket along with Auto Insurance for everyone ... Believe it!
I discredited you after you said ducks… those were geese.
Why did you buy it?
Yes you can get the heated seats in the convenience package. I literally just bought it that way
Everyone does not want a full size truck. It wont fit in my garage for one thing. Mid size more fun to drive IMO.
As far as price you are not buying by the pound.
I really dont like the look of the digital cluster either
I bought yesterday end the next day get the check engine light turned on 😢. Dealer said it’s not our problem the truck is already your you sign the paper already. Call to the company we can not do nothing for you. 😢. Just happened and the nex day I bought the truck is garbage. The radio screen gets really hot burn my fingers. On the screen apear message say engine and transmission need maintenance quickly
If you wanted all those things, you should have bought all those things. You should have bought a nice Silverado or Sierra. But the price is a lot higher than you said. It's closer to 70K or more. I love my 23 Canyon Elevation. I wanted a Denali but there were none available. It is a little short on storage space but I can handle that. You need to disconnect your battery ground for about 10 or 15 minutes and make sure all your fuses are pushed in good. That could be the trouble. It may have been interupted during a firmware update.
Buying a cheap trim and then complaining about how cheap it is sounds a little crazy to me. I'd never consider a trailboss. It's cool that its all rugged on the inside for trail running and what not but even at the cheaper trim price, it's still pretty expensive and should still provide some of the comforts of a good daily. To me, It's a glorified work truck with a barely noticeable lift
I went with GMC canyon and it has way better interior trim, more torque and even my Elevation trim level comes with higher lift, better tires, and wheels.
My ZR2 has a check engine light issue that has been diagnosed as a multifunction voltage controller malfunction. A part has been ordered. It sounds like the all the new Chevy midsize trucks have electrical bugs.
100% agree on the Electronics problems. But no LED interior light? Cmon. Interior trim cheesy plastic? C'mon YOU BOUGHT IT. You did not do your homework.
Nah I knew what I was getting into. Just made this video for others to be aware. If you're lookin for a more luxury truck, the trail boss ain't it
I have a ZR2 2023 and i love it!!!
Looks like the Z71 trim is the best option for this truck.
I'm glad I found my 2016 Canyon LTE crew cab for $20,000. I wish midsize pickups weren't the same price as a full size pickup these days.
Amazed at the people defending this truck. Its brand new and has heaps of issues - hope you aren't completely screwed over this, and thanks for letting us know. I'll stay away
I have a diffferent opion on the Chevy. I think is a model problem you got. I believe yiur issue is an ECU problem. here is why, every toime you turn it off and on somethings the engine light is on and sometimes it is off. this lets me belive is an internal computer problem.2nd clue is the screen frren up on you, that also tells me is an ECU update.{ i could be complete worh tho}. nevertherless, here we go... I recenly both the 2023 Chevy Colorado Z71 and let me tell you is pretty cool for me. (keep in mind this is my first truck ever!) so, take my opion as an amatuer reviewer. Engen power is a 8 out 10, space is 7 out 10 ( if you are an older person is a 10-10), electronics 8 out 10, on and off engenine option is a 7 out 10, fuel is 8 out 10, upgradable is 9 out 10, confort is 8.5 out 10, and style 9 out 10.
Remider his truck is a trail boss and mine ia a Z71 (engine are different) ECUs might be the same.
let me know guys if yall want a review on the Z71
I’m waiting for 2025 and ordering a Colorado. They will add more options and work the bugs out by then.
here is the result from TFL towing up the "Ike"...
Colorado 4cyl turbo / Frontier 6cyl na
box trailer weight # 6800 / 6700
payload max / max
squat inches 2.5 / 2.0
speed mph 60 / 60
time minutes 7.5 / 7.9
max throttle foot to floor yes / yes
fuel consumed mpg 3.6 / 4.4
engine rpm 5400 / 6000
engine rpm per cylinder 1350 / 1000
conclusion for towing equal weights and mph:
Colorado:
4cyl turbo works 35% harder,
4cyl turbo consumes 22% more fuel
suspension squats 25% more
Nissan is the superior truck
I had the option 22 or 23 zr2. Glad I got the 22 zr2. I already know you couldn't get the heated seats with trailboss. You should get a buyback. Wait til the 24. Don't get anything but the ZR2
I asked the dealer why everything is plastic they said so you can pressure wash the inside without damaging the interior after going off roading in the mud
Can you make a video of the 2024 Tacoma
The plastic interior parts are not an issue. It's a truck, it will get dirty. it's easier to clean. You might have a point on a luxury car. Not on a truck. Getting a back seat adds 10-15k to the price tag. The backseat is only a great feature if you plan on hauling an RV and taking the family out. If you want a luxury recreational vehicle with a backseat you should buy an SUV. Trucks are for work more than anything. Stop loading up trucks with luxury interiors and backseats and then complaining about the price tag.
I have colorado2021 , my next truck ? The old school v6 Nissan Frontier !
No heated seats? How will you survive?
I'm glad I bought a basic 2016 Colorado WT when I did. You can't buy a basic truck anymore because of all the people who want to load up their trucks with junk like heated seats. I will drive my Colorado until I no longer drive because there is no way to replace it.
You need to do a hard reset take off positive cable wait a min then if that doesn't work replace battery this is a problem i had the reset fixed it
For the engine light and screen.Try disconnecting the positive battery cable. Turn on the lights to drain the electricity from the computer. Reconect the cable. Just like a reboot of any computer.
will lights come on like that?
What is important to me is the price, the life of the engine, and sometimes driving off-road without any problems…… does this truck have it? how much does it cost in your state?
I have a 2022 Pro-4x and paid 10k more than a Trail Boss but i have nicer finishes. Depends on what your willing to pay for. You have a decent truck at that price. Like others have said, you got what Chevy stated they were selling and it’s priced accordingly. It’s a great looking truck.
Your pro 4X was $55k?!
@@scootersstuff MSRP on a Colorado TrailBoss is around $40k isn’t it? Unless they are being marked up. Idk
@@sjia5568 a loaded pro 4x where i live is like 48k maxx lol. I just got an LT colorado for 42k
Lol you pay that much for a pro max. No wonder the market keep fking with everyone
ehhhhh nissan
Seems to me like this truck is more for a man that doesnt complain about things
Sounds like the package you wanted was the ZR2 or go higher and get that Colorado Bison. Only thing you can’t win with is the price, how badly do you want those features $$$$
Toyota has cheap plastic "what good reliable easy to clean product" despite them charging a premium price.
The budget friendly trail boss has plastic "cheap plastic how awful, what an awful vehicle."
When I ordered my trail boss they wanted me to upgrade the seats to the leather with heat and vents. I said no though.
Nice, didn't know you could get heated/ventilated seats in the Trail Boss
