@@MrLou7482 sounds expensive my guess just adding the 5.3 probably wouldn't cost that much more the base silverado with the 5.3 I believe is cheaper than the ZR2 and the trail boss version costs about the same also a V8 in the midsize would just give it a little bit more cool factor separating it from the others in it's class plus that V8 rumble can't beat it
@DevilDog 53 oh yeah the gladiator is definitely the coolest out of the midsize trucks because it's a convertible pickup truck and you can pop the doors off in the summer and 2nd to it I would say the ranger because of the mustang engine you can tune it and put that thing on a drag strip with a aggressive tune and cheap mods it puts out well over 300 horsepower I heard some people say as much as 350hp 3rd the Colorado because it's the best looking but I just believe it could use a more powerful engine to match the look and separate from the lower trims because it just seems like why not just buy a cheaper wt or lt version and just upgrade the look and still come out cheaper than the ZR2 with the same performance and then the toyota tacoma it looks good but not much excitement with it only good thing to think of is the reliability if you plan on keeping it for a long time
@@joshbouwmeister6324 well, as every good american you will most likely pay off the truck in 60 months. For $150 more a month you could get a TRX over a Chevy Colorado. Think about it.
Seth Hernandez I’m seriously confused by your math. The TRX starts at $70k. The ZR2 starts at $44k. In real world, the TRX is brand new and will not have discounts right out of the gate, in fact I would be surprised if dealers weren’t charging a premium as FCA dealers have done in the pst with all new hellcat products. A 20MY ZR2 can easily be had for $38-40k. So now we’re looking at a minimum real world price difference of about $30k. Not factoring in interest, at 60 months that’s a $500 difference in payment.
Ben that’s a nice truck and a nice review BUT in my opinion it is too small, too pricey and the mileage is quite poor....But of course it all depends on what you like...😊
I have a deposit on the Sand Dune Metallic and will be in next week. A bit disappointed though that in 2021 there is no push button start. Also, there is nothing more useless than a manual rear sliding window. Still, not enough to be a deal killer.
As someone who has gone through 2 Colorado’s over the past 6 months I would recommend staying away from it. Yea the truck is comfy and comes with a lot for the price but you get what you pay for. Both Colorado’s I owned had transmission issues such as really rough down shifts primarily in low gears as well as hesitant up shifts. The trans just felt like it was all over the place. Pair that with some other odd nuances the Colorado felt cheap and unreliable. There’s a reason there is a class action suit on the 8 speed and I believe the 6 speed as well. Traded my last Colorado for a Tacoma and I couldn’t be happier. Just a much more sturdy and well rounded truck.
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster.

Best Values? are you high? $50k, 2021, platform that was outdated in 2016, tech from a generation ago, terrible gas mileage.. i could go on. It has front and rear lockers. Great. Thats it. I wouldn't pay more than $30k, and there's about a dozen other vehicles i'd rather jump at than this.
This was my favorite truck. I’ve owned 2 of them. I had an 18 v6 and lemon law’d it. I then was a sucker and took a new 2020 v6. The 20 was nice looking as well. BUT.....I had the head unit replaced , trans issues ( that 8 speed is junk ) , 2 blown shocks , 2 bad rear springs , steering shaft replaced and multiple check engine lights. It spent more time at the dealer than my 18 did. Yes .... love the truck but 2 pieces of crap in a row. I’ll pass on the GM crap for the rest of my life. Good luck future buyers. 👎🏻
Bought a S10 ZR2 22 years ago for $18k,today it's close to $60k out the lot and then it was made in the US,today it's all cheap ass Chinese parts yet the price has tripled!
The current Colorado (Built in the US, Missouri to be exact) is ranked 3rd most American truck and 10th overall compared to all vehicles based on 2020 American made index. If its a cheap Chinese parts truck what does that make the rest of the trucks? www.cars.com/articles/the-cars-com-2020-american-made-index-which-cars-are-most-american-422711/
The Gladiator Rubicon is definitely the best Midsize! No truck except the Gladiator is a convertible and has Solid Front and Rear axles and all the off road stuff. This Colorado is basically a piece of Chevy plastic shit.
@@quintili1 Great point, walking is not so difficult Who needs a car, dummy Push start means you will not get lockout of your car The car will not lock with the FOB inside the car and the FOB should always be on your body, to begin with
@@Tribe2k I have used push starts for over 10 years and NONE of my vehicles have a problem with push-starts ever. You must worry about a problem that does not exist. It sounds like you don't know the advantages of push-starts. It is beyond not to have to pull out your key to start. I am also very surprised that you use computer technology and use RUclips; less technology is better for you. I can see you write a check to buy your grocery holding up the rest of the people waiting in line.

Thanks for not making your reviews too long. Short and simple 👍🏼
that interior is showing its age..when chevy redid the front they should have touched up the interior.
They need to step it up caus Ford and ram have the best interior
It's the best looking midsize truck but it could use a little bit more power especially for that price maybe GM should consider putting the 5.3 in it
GM 3.6 Liter Twin Turbo V6 LF3 Engine

Dude 306 horsepower is almost as much as the v8 5.3
The 2020 5.3 motor has 355 HP.
So 306 with a truck that is alot lighter then a full size truck is plenty
It looks amazing! so much better than before, it actually looks a truck now.
Happy to say I’m buying this truck soon! Thanks for hyping me up even more!
Congrats in advance!
10k more and get a TRX dude
Seth Hernandez I know man that truck is so nice but 10 k is a lot haha

I'm "buying," this truck. Picking it up soon. "Modern Chevrolet" Winston-Salem NC.
how much you paid for it if u dont mind me asking?
Go to carcomplaints.com and Colorado forums and do your homework before spending your hard earned cash.
Guys if you are big and tall this is for you. I'm a pretty big guy with wide shoulders. And I absolutely loved the room it offers.
That would be a perfect addition to the channel Ben!
🧐🧐🧐
@@BenHardyCars Does it have more ground clearance? it looks lifted more.
Yep I need to put that front grill on my 2018ZR2 ASAP!
Such a cool chevy doesn't look bad at all!

Fuel economy of 16/18 should be easily achieved with 5.3 V8. And you should be able to put 35's without carting body panels.

Haha. Traded my weak tacoma in on a zr2. Couldnt be happier. My 8 speed is way better than that crappy 6 speed in the tacoma.
Been waiting for this!
Was all ready to buy this until I found out the Ranger Raptor is on its way to the 🇺🇸
Lies
The seats should have that carbon fiber material that the Canyon has and no sun roof?

At 2:23, was that rust on the that weld or am I seeing things? It's not even off the lot yet.
Can't believe they didn't even add keyless start on this thing. Do we still live in 2010?
i love cars
If the Colorado is dated what does that make the Tacoma??
thank you ben hardy!!!!!!!!

Can you review the best midsize sedan for you?
That's the color I'm getting!
Great video
Is this better than the Ridgeline?
I could not afford it I got a z71 lifted it put k 2 oversized tires and 5100 shocks
Can you review the best suv for you?

I have over 40K miles on my 2018 diesel ZR2 with absolutely zero issues. They don't all have issues. I've wheeled mine hard also.
my brother loves cars to
That car is just soon beautiful
Car ? It’s a truck
@@georges4562 thanks for the correction
How reliable is it?
It is a nice truck, but no matter how much you emphasize it's offroad capability it's not worth 50 grand.
These can be had for 41k or high 30’s
With all the incentives and discounts, it actually drops to about 43 or 44 with the Dusk package (off-road bar with lights and other goodies)

Wait a sec does it have more ground clearance??
I like it
Like it want to buy this truck.
Hey Ben do you have any charger hellcats
Those are so rare in Utah
Would buy this truck but for the interior. Two words: Cheap and Dated 🤮
Motor is a decade old as well... My 16 z71 has more power than this lol.
Dope truck🔥 but all that money no sunroof 🤷♂️
More headroom :)

Sweet, are these the new Avalanches? Haha
These sports bar are ugly as shit imo xD
better yet get a taco for reliable truck

HOT
GM always adds crap to their top models that make them look cheesy. Stop focusing on add ons and start building reliable
oh no, heavy tailgate.......................................................... sums up the ruin of modern trucks
It's a Chevy, you will have nothing but electrical problems with it. You will be luck if half of those options still work in 3 years.

And a lot more money
i dont like the design of the back rack.....look badly...!!
Too pricey for a shitty small truck
Man that whole interior has got to go. Looks like an after thought put together by a team of novices.
