Might as well get the Z71 over a fully loaded LT. Only about $1500 more but you get a nicer interior, memory seat, and locking differential. My builds came out to $46k and 47.5k respectively.
If you're pushing 50k on a 4 banger build, it's time to step up to full size and get a real engine. GM blew it just like Ford did w/Ranger. Way too expensive.
@@ethenjordan2010 ehhh my ZR2 build came out to $52k, and you lose the rear corner steps which makes bed access a pain in the ass on a higher up lifted truck.
It will be a good solid truck as long as the new updated 8L90 has no issues …. Reference the class action lawsuits (plural) surrounding the shudder/hard shifting of that transmission, we will see.
I find it hard to believe it’s fixed when I read about others with 22 and 23 Silverados still having issues with the 8 speed. Why wouldn’t gm put the “updated” version in all vehicles with the same 8 speed?
Good looking truck the interior looks like it supposed to have been for a new Camaro but since they cancel it congratulations truck fans you have a nicer interior
The fronts definitely look more aggressive than the prev gen I like it. I just wish they'd stick a 5.3 in them & of course keep the smaller fuel efficient engines it really wouldn't hurt!
As neat a V8 would be in these things that 2.7L engine at least on paper seems to be on par with that engine and produces more torque. For instance the 5.3L in the Silverado is producing 355 hp and 383 ft-lb of torque, while the 2.7L turbo is producing 310 hp and 430 ft-lb of torque if you get it in the high output version. The LT and Trail Boss get the mid tier version which produces 310 hp and 390 ft-lb of torque.
The 2.7 probably does not make sense in the Silverado. But in this truck that weighs more then 500 lbs less its going to be a beast. Got more torque then the V8 anyways. And that is what matters most in truck applications.
The 2.7L has torque at low end of the RPM range, you get to peak torque faster, similar to the diesel experience. The 383 ft-lb. torque of the 5.3L V8 2021 peaks at 4100 RPM and falls off gradually (for the Chevrolet Suburban 5.3L V8 2WD). The 348 ft-lb. torque of the 2.7L Turbo I-4 2019 peaks at 1500 RPM and sustains through to 4000 RPM (Chevrolet Silverado 2019, similar GM L3B in the 2023 Colorado). The base 2.7L Turbo I-4 option performs similarly to the 5.3L V8 at the low RPM range. At 1500 RPM, the 5.3L V8 outputs 265 ft-lb. torque. At 1500 RPM, the Base 2023 2.7L outputs 259 ft-lb. torque. Edit: Just looked up the Colorado 2.7L Turbo I-4 torque specs are as follows: - 2.7L Turbo Base is 260 ft-lb. @1200-4000 RPM - 2.7L Turbo+ is 391 ft-lb. @2000 RPM - 2.7L Turbo High is 430 ft-lb. @3000RPM
@@HiPlains1 Agreed. Larger truck gets larger engine. OP wanted larger engine in "smaller" truck, but I like what Chevy has done with the 2.7L in the Colorado. especially with getting torque where you can feel it. Im usually cruising around town at 1500 RPM, so you not only get to peak torque faster but you get it all the time up to 4000 RPM.
This goes out to anyone. is the backseat automatically come with under seat storage bin? I want to maximize level loading floor and that thing is a deal breaker for me. #2 - is it the storage unit under back seat removeable?
Yes, it is on all models. No, I do not believe the plastic bucket under the seat is removable. It is the structure support for the back seat. Note that most models have the tailgate storage option.
Anyone still wondered some country still have land line.....go figure. That's why we drive Jeep, old school gages speedometer works just fine and reliable. American vehicle should stay AMERICAN LIKE THE OLD SCHOOL RELIABLE VEHICLE...😢 front bench sit and Steering Gear Shifter...miss it so much😢...
I like the exterior design, but give me physical controls for the headlights and get rid of that massive amount of piano black plastic. Also the black levels on the screens suck--it's not 2005 anymore.
@@UnBoxedAutos Tomorrow several sites will have road test reviews. 2/17. That is when the embargo is lifted. Several of those reviews are probably already completed. They just can't release them yet.

@@UnBoxedAutos no it isn’t. The 11” cluster is only available in the gmc canyon not the Colorado. I’ve already ordered a new Colorado and it’s waiting shipping so I know how they’re equipped.

Todd is correct.

And you can get the sunroof with the Z71 and not the LT
With that thought, might as well do the ZR2 for just a little more.

That's the color (Harvest Bronze) that I'm considering...Convenience Pkgs 1+2+3...
My LT in harvest Bronze just arrived last week. I'm in love with the color and get compliments on it everywhere I go.
My Chevy Colorado Lt 2022 the best 👍🏻
Question for you, is apple carplay full screen width on the 11.3” display? Or is it like the Silverado which is only partial screen.

@@AK-IT For the full size I'd probably go with the 6.2. At over 500 lbs lighter the 2.7T will likely be a good fit on the Colorado.

LED headlights are not standard on the LT, they are an additional option. They are standard on the Z71 and ZR2 however.
But you can probably get more value adding the options on the LT. At lease that was my experience on the build site.
@@HiPlains1 nope. you basically get 4x4 for free once you add all the convenience packages to the LT instead of getting a z71

How does one get one? Every dealer I speak to says they are in transit but they do not know the ETA. At least the LTs.
OK but didn't show the engine compartment or specs of it in this model???

Thanks great video
Where did you review this at ...... thanks for the review!
This is in CA, you're welcome :)
Still see they still got that Fisher-Price interior.
It's gotten a little better. But yes, the door panels are still bad.
I like the exterior design, but give me physical controls for the headlights and get rid of that massive amount of piano black plastic. Also the black levels on the screens suck--it's not 2005 anymore.
Anybody think these would sound decent with an after market exhaust? Or is it pointless?
Probably not :/
@@UnBoxedAutos yeah, kind of thought so as well. Thanks.
When is the new gmc canyon being reviewed
If I get an invite aha... But if not, hopefully in a few months.
@@UnBoxedAutos Tomorrow several sites will have road test reviews. 2/17. That is when the embargo is lifted. Several of those reviews are probably already completed. They just can't release them yet.
I like the truck but not the 2.7 turbo
👍🏼🇲🇽 Tlaxcala México
Lots of exterior color choices.
But seems like just black on the interior.
Are those the Cortex seats?
yes, the LT only has cloth or Evotex seats.
Does anyone know if the rear seats fold down?
Back seats fold up but not down
I was really excited about this redesign and was planning on ordering one until I saw all the shiny piano black plastic on the interior. Why is that a trend?! It's absolutely stupid, it doesn't hold up well and looks like crap.
Why is the dashboard only half filled? Plenty of space for analog dials on the sides!!! Looks like garbage.
What's the gas milage? That's one thing that nobody is talking about....must be terrible because if it was great they would be praisiing it!!!
It's the American institution
Way overpriced
Nah, still a Tacoma for me.
Nice truck but way overpriced
I hate that ugly Chevrolet bowtie lOgO on the grill. I'd go for the GMC just because of that.
All colorados get the 8” cluster. Chevy doesn’t offer an 11” cluster. If you want the 11” you need to look at the gmc canyon. HTH.
Not true
The ZR2 has the 11" cluster as well but no other trim levels
Actually, the 11" is available on higher trim levels of the Colorado also.
@@UnBoxedAutos no it isn’t. The 11” cluster is only available in the gmc canyon not the Colorado. I’ve already ordered a new Colorado and it’s waiting shipping so I know how they’re equipped.
@@coop4274 you know how yours is equiped but apparently not the others. the ZR2 has the 11" display.
Right now you can't get a ZR2 so technically yes the 8" is the only size available. Also what Colorado trim did you get?
