Not really. Many 2.0t 4 bangers have more than enough torque for that these days. The reason they don’t tow 7700lbs isn’t because of the engine. That said, it’s a 2.7l 4 cylinder so the cylinders are larger than the Coyotes 5.0 or GM’s 5.3, but cylinder count doesn’t really matter. The Pre-Lci X5 40i can tow more than the X5M and it’s only rated at 335hp/369lb-ft while the M model is rated at 625hp/553lb-ft. Why is that? Why doesn’t a TRX or Raptor R have a significantly higher towing capacity over the 3.6 or 3.3 N/A V6 models? The engine will become a limiting factor at some point, but there are other variables at play other than engine- as important as it is.
@@PapiAndrey actually, it’s at the top of its class in towing and it does it with the 2.7L engine/ 8spd transmission combination, a 5 passenger capacity, a pickup bed and an MSRP of $30,695…and all without using expensive diesel fuel. The next closest competitor has an engine that’s nearly 1L larger, a lower towing capacity, and it costs more.
@@magnus466 diesel is more expensive but 1 gallon of diesel has way more energy than one gallon of gas, diesel is superior especially when it comes to towing

How often do you touch the headlight switch? In this truck, you set it to automatic once and then never touch it again. It's probably set to automatic by default so it needs to be set zero times. That is not "imperative" by any means.

For things that are used often, like temperature control, there should be physical buttons for that.

Always appreciate the honesty with the reviews. Don't ever let them buy you for a dishonest review. This straightforward bluntness is kind of your brand to me.
I will say I'll give GM credit for having the best integrated step placement. Its honestly weird how ford, dodge and Toyota either decided to go for the OPTIONAL kick step or specialized bumper most people won't end up getting
I sat in one of these at the car show. I like cloth seats, but the interior was something I'd expect from a 90s rental van, not a 40k brand new truck. It was one of the worst on a new car.
40k in comparison to the prices for every other truck? It’s a bargain. Every company that makes midrange vehicles does the cheap plastic thing, not just American. Japanese cars can be bad and don’t get me started on the junk Benz’s that they used for taxis in the Netherlands.(no way those things are getting on a boat) 😂. People don’t realize that for the most part we get higher tier foreign cars in the states.
I sat in one of these at the LA Autoshow and was beyond disappointed. rubber steering wheel, plastic door handles, cloth seats, shitty plastic everywhere, stamped rubber airbag like its from 1996. I understand if you want a simple offroader you dont need a lot of accessories, but for the $40k+ price theyre asking its a huge letdown.
I think your father in law is pulling your leg making you think he got a better deal than he did. I sell used trucks daily and we don’t discount them. And if we did, it would be $500-$1000. They are in short supply.
If you want to get rid of basically all physical buttons, you’re going to have to make everything work with voice commands. The gov shouldn’t let manufacturers force drivers to futz with screen menus to do everything, especially when they outlaw looking at your phone while driving.

I can’t get over how the car industry wants us to have tvs in our cars, all the years of “don’t text and drive” now we gotta use the built in tv screen just to turn the lights on? Is this even safe
The trail boss is basically a work truck. The LT model has a pained front grill and looks much better. Lights are easy to access not buried in menus. They are defaulted to auto anyways. The new infotainment is much better than the previous version.
There's a RUclips channel where they tested a brand new Toyota Tacoma and the front differential snaps going up a small set of rocks and they had. To use a Chevy Colorado to help the Tacoma straightened itself out so jokes on You Toyota.😂😂😂😂
Nah I’m team GM. Not a huge fan of Toyota or Nissans, and Honda trucks. They’re trash. GM or Ford is where the big SUVS and trucks are at. Not trying to be rude just my opinion.
Im a gm mechanic and honestly the cheap plastic bothers me if i was to buy any version of the truck i would get the canyon in any trim level over the Colorado (interior is alot better) you also get the highest tune on the 2.7 in every canyon trim level while the Colorado you have a low, mid and high tune depending on trim
@@adog3336 many gen z kids don't even get a license. They're not the buyers. Touchscreens are a scam to reduce costs while cars are more expensive than ever
I would say yes, someone in the market for a smaller truck that truly can pull a decent payload, its absolutely worth 40k and it shows, especially with GM opting for plastic
Cloth might be better considering it's tougher than faux leather, it's actual cloth rather than faux leather (most companies do faux leather anyway), sometimes more comfortable, and cheaper not just to make but also to buy
$40,000, but they couldn’t give got that 50 cent switch and wire. Instead it’s much cheaper to pay a team of designers/programmers/engineers to incorporate it behind a touch screen. Chevy must be thinking about starting a tech support company or call center for future owners broken down with no lights.

Nahh, the damped tailgate is an absolutely good feature. You don’t need to worry about slamming the tailgate when you’re opening it, and closing the tailgate becomes almost effortless. Although this chevy is way too damped.
I bought a used '21 Colorado Z71 w/ 1400 miles on it for $23G a couple years ago. Just needed a 2nd vehicle for our 2nd home's garage. I didn't really care what it was. Nice little machine, but the seats suck and everything feels plastic. The good news is I can probably sell it for $27G.
Plastic is significantly easier to clean dirt off of than vinyl or leather. Same with the seats, cloth is harder to wreck. My great uncle here in Vermont has one of these from the previous model year and the thing is a magnificent work and overland truck.

Imagine what kind of classic truck you can buy w 40K!! A unique rewtomod that turns heads, and you can bring to classic car shows.
Always appreciate the honesty with the reviews. Don't ever let them buy you for a dishonest review. This straightforward bluntness is kind of your brand to me.
I would say 27 grand is a good price for that truck.
27,000 is probably the MSRP for the absolute most basic base model
Nah dude. Only a few years ago you could get a base level Frontier for $19k msrp. And this is worse than that 15 year old design.
@@GaryKetchum808 yeah i guess
Still,the fact that you have to turn the lights on trough the screen is a dealbreaker for me even if it was like 10K
@@GaryKetchum808that was before inflation…
I will say I'll give GM credit for having the best integrated step placement. Its honestly weird how ford, dodge and Toyota either decided to go for the OPTIONAL kick step or specialized bumper most people won't end up getting
I sat in one of these at the car show. I like cloth seats, but the interior was something I'd expect from a 90s rental van, not a 40k brand new truck. It was one of the worst on a new car.
So if the radio is busted, I can't turn on the headlights, smart and safe 😂
Headlights probably come on when you start the car like all other GMs
The headlights are automatic, there's no need to turn them on/off. Think for three seconds next time.
I can understand the plastic grill as if you offroad a lot you want to be able to fix it as cheap as possible but the no physical light knob is insane
Naaa…hit a bush too hard and it’s a wrap
@@danielrojas9373 Yes? he said it's cheaper to replace
@@danielrojas9373that’s the point you can buy a new plastic grill for way cheaper than you can buy a new metal one
lol no thats terribly build quality especially for an roader
40k in comparison to the prices for every other truck? It’s a bargain.
Every company that makes midrange vehicles does the cheap plastic thing, not just American. Japanese cars can be bad and don’t get me started on the junk Benz’s that they used for taxis in the Netherlands.(no way those things are getting on a boat) 😂.
People don’t realize that for the most part we get higher tier foreign cars in the states.
I sat in one of these at the LA Autoshow and was beyond disappointed. rubber steering wheel, plastic door handles, cloth seats, shitty plastic everywhere, stamped rubber airbag like its from 1996. I understand if you want a simple offroader you dont need a lot of accessories, but for the $40k+ price theyre asking its a huge letdown.
Jesus I'm still surprised my father in law got a 2022 for $24k with only 40k miles. They wanted $32k
Dude I literally got a 2018 zr2 new for 40k. Now you can’t even get one of those for less than 55
@@brendanschriber3242 man I should have bought the 2020 fx4 ranger back in 2022 for 26k. Their now askimg 34k for it near me :/ fk this economy
I think your father in law is pulling your leg making you think he got a better deal than he did. I sell used trucks daily and we don’t discount them. And if we did, it would be $500-$1000. They are in short supply.

He also roasted the hydrogen car from Toyota

I choked a little when he said 40k! Im ao glad i got my 30 year old truck for $1700 lol
At least your 30 year old truck *probably* isn't a plastic 4 cylinder 💀
@Squirt Squelterson V8 all day baby! And I could rebuilt the engine and paint the truck and still be cheaper than a new one
@@darklink594 Old is the way to go!
Dirt cheap and ya don't need any fancy electronics degree to work on them.
$26k maybe. $17k probably. $40k not likely. I pity those who put greater than 10% of their revenues into transportation.
If you want to get rid of basically all physical buttons, you’re going to have to make everything work with voice commands. The gov shouldn’t let manufacturers force drivers to futz with screen menus to do everything, especially when they outlaw looking at your phone while driving.
We love honesty, touches a GM product and just gets real😭
There is something about a person reviewing a vehicle in lounge clothes and crocs that I trust. No BS
I dont trust anyone that reviews and offroad trim and doesnt talk about suspension. Tell me you dont know anything about trucks without telling me you know nothing about trucks.
@@buffhorses3632 Don’t know a single person with an off-road trim level truck that takes it to trails. If you want an off-road truck out of the box by an RC truck from Traxxas and save your money.
@@buffhorses3632he has a ton of reviews where he focuses on the suspension of trucks. He just did the ATX4 and went into how it has rock sliders and adjustable struts for off roading. He didnt bother mentioning it here because this truck is freakin garbage for this price range and only Grandpas drive Colorados. I bet 1 out of 100,000 made actually see anytime off road.
@@buffhorses3632 you only get like 60-90 secs on RUclips shorts, instagram reels, etc. He can't review the whole truck or honestly even talk about the suspension in that amount of time. It's just fun content & im sure there are plenty of other videos to supplement it too
I can’t get over how the car industry wants us to have tvs in our cars, all the years of “don’t text and drive” now we gotta use the built in tv screen just to turn the lights on? Is this even safe
The trail boss is basically a work truck. The LT model has a pained front grill and looks much better. Lights are easy to access not buried in menus. They are defaulted to auto anyways. The new infotainment is much better than the previous version.
said mid so nonchalant I'm cryin lmao
They could’ve just given us a analog gauge cluster and a physical headlight switch and this would be more popular
T-A-C-O-M-A is the truck to invest all your hard earned money in.. Frontier would be my 2nd choice.
There's a RUclips channel where they tested a brand new Toyota Tacoma and the front differential snaps going up a small set of rocks and they had. To use a Chevy Colorado to help the Tacoma straightened itself out so jokes on You Toyota.😂😂😂😂
Nah I’m team GM. Not a huge fan of Toyota or Nissans, and Honda trucks. They’re trash. GM or Ford is where the big SUVS and trucks are at. Not trying to be rude just my opinion.
'feels like it is made by fisher price' hahahahaha this guy just destroyed it 😅

It went from "mid" to "bad" once you mentioned there was a backseat, I miss real trucks with the box body and full length bed
Im a gm mechanic and honestly the cheap plastic bothers me if i was to buy any version of the truck i would get the canyon in any trim level over the Colorado (interior is alot better) you also get the highest tune on the 2.7 in every canyon trim level while the Colorado you have a low, mid and high tune depending on trim
I thought this was auto reviews, not a total roast session 😭
Nah I’ll take the roast sessions on cars any day you keep it up Forrest
No physical headlight button should be illegal! If I need lights and horns to register my car they need to come as physical seperate parts.

I would say yes, someone in the market for a smaller truck that truly can pull a decent payload, its absolutely worth 40k and it shows, especially with GM opting for plastic
Cloth might be better considering it's tougher than faux leather, it's actual cloth rather than faux leather (most companies do faux leather anyway), sometimes more comfortable, and cheaper not just to make but also to buy
Man I laughed so loud when he touched the dash and siding and said "then it gets cheap again, feels like Fisher Price". So true man, so true!
Body by Fisher..... Price.
I like how this one actually looks like a mini version of the 1500
I'd rather they made the 80s s-10 again and just added air bags and ABS.
@@davidthompson5710 I just wish Ram brings the Dakota back with a 5.7 and 6.4 option.
$40,000, but they couldn’t give got that 50 cent switch and wire.
Instead it’s much cheaper to pay a team of designers/programmers/engineers to incorporate it behind a touch screen.
Chevy must be thinking about starting a tech support company or call center for future owners broken down with no lights.

I kinda prefer cloth seats to leather, they don't make you all sweaty and they don't get super hot in the summer.
PIA to keep clean.

“Completely plastic… 🤢”
The plastic front “bumper” is for cheaper replacement when damage. It’s common for off road vehicles. The inside tho 😂
Imagine holding something heavy and you have to wait 5 seconds for the tailgate to come down😂
Probably just gotta open the tailgate before you start lifting the heavy object
@@extjerry like groceries when you decide to leave cart at entrance and carry everything in bags? There are moments when you just need to get inside asap. And can't throw it over.
Yeah I didn’t like the tailgate, I’d be forcing it down all the time.
Nahh, the damped tailgate is an absolutely good feature. You don’t need to worry about slamming the tailgate when you’re opening it, and closing the tailgate becomes almost effortless. Although this chevy is way too damped.
@@popinjayjunior7698 we know there is no slamming with damped tailgate. It's still weak.
I bought a used '21 Colorado Z71 w/ 1400 miles on it for $23G a couple years ago. Just needed a 2nd vehicle for our 2nd home's garage. I didn't really care what it was. Nice little machine, but the seats suck and everything feels plastic. The good news is I can probably sell it for $27G.

Plastic is significantly easier to clean dirt off of than vinyl or leather. Same with the seats, cloth is harder to wreck. My great uncle here in Vermont has one of these from the previous model year and the thing is a magnificent work and overland truck.
Absolutely correct
All interiors are and have been plastic for many, many years
