Doug is the type of guy to say "thank you very much sir" everytime he bought something from the vending machines
First comment after 3 years
W
You had to go to Tacoma to rent a Colorado? There's a joke in there somewhere.
Soon he might go to Toyota city to rent a Honda
He's gotta go to the Tundra to rent a Sierra
Doug's going to go to Italy to review a McLaren
Goes to Yukon to rent a Dakota.
Goes to Santa Fe to rent a Veracruz.
Rented an SUV from Turo. Drove to Niagara Falls with the family. Woke up to find a repossession agent towing away the car because of outstanding payments from the owner. Tried to get a replacement from Turo only to discover Turo isn't allowed to operate in the state of New York. My family vacation was ruined and still trying to get a refund from Turo. Beware!
You paid with a credit card, right? Cancel the payment, even if you paid with you debit card your bank should provide you with all the protections need to cancel that charge. No need to let something that minor ruin a vacation. Call enterprise and they would have had a car there within the hour. Can't let someone else's incompetence ruin your time.
Beware of the fine print!
Lol bullshit
That’s not really Turo’s fault
Jordan Chamberlain that kind of is Turo’s fault. Shouldn’t Turo somehow be verifying that people are up to date on their car payments? Theoretically someone could steal a car and rent it out on Turo with that thought process. That’s like Uber hiring a driver and you take a ride with him and halfway through he gets pulled over and arrested for driving without a license and you’re left there stranded and Uber doesn’t give you a refund. Ridiculous.
Who else noticed that Doug's speech from the beginning is kinda more calm and sad than the other reviews?
True. Perhaps he was feeling a bit sick?
He was definitely off in this review.
Yep, his "Thisssss" wasn't as enthusiastic as other times..
Maybe he had a joint.
Doug the type of guy to say the Chevy Colorado ZR2 is the best midsize truck ever and then go buy a Honda Ridgeline.
StrangeClouds The Ridgeline sucks as a truck. It's a minivan with a bed.
Or say it must be so good off road and then never even take it off road.
if you need to simply tow things like a snowmobile trailer in inclement weather, than yes, it actually is better because it drives 10 times nicer when not towing which is 95% of the time you are driving it.
Herbie Husker an el Camino is more of a truck than that sorry excuse
Doug buys the quirkiest vehicles
Is it really "another third brake light", or is it simply just a fourth brake light?
Top 10 questions that will never be answered.
Well the actual third brake light doesn't work so in essence it is a second third break light
Calyx If true, fair point and well made :)
Is a hotdog a sandwich?
You're blowing my mind, man... Whoa.
How did you not talk about the Multimatic DSSV shocks? Those are a main reason to buy this truck.
Cause he doesn’t even know what they are
True! That's why i bought mine!
Multimatic DSSV shocks were only mounted onto Colorado. I haven't seen them anywhere else. When he filmed under the truck, you could have seen them. But he should have explained. He admits that he doesn't say everything.
He never reviews 4x4s the way they should be reviewed.
@@lunamaria1048 I think he's just a city boy. No offense to him, I love the channel. TFL Truck has lots of offroading if your interested.
So you’re not gonna even mention the F1 technology multimatic DSSV shocks that are bigger than your head? You know, those shocks that make the ride quality just as good off road as on the road? No? Oh okay cool
He has no idea
also came here for this comment...the very reason this truck is the machine it is...
Doug the type of guy to tell you to go to his autotrader column when you're lost and asking for directions.
😂😂😂
LaRusso Very true.
+LaRusso Dumbass!
Lol I can just imagine a couple pulls up in a 2015 Corolla “Hi do you know where we can find (bla bla bla)?” Why yes just go to www.autotrader.com/dougdemuro and you’ll find it”
Then again, he may give you directions and inform you of the quirks and features of your route :)
Doug, you light up the world brighter than those LED's.
bro
gojoeyr
Dude you've been out in the sun too long. Learn to chill. It's a comment relating to Doug's abilities on rating vehicles which most of us can't do. I worship females, so good luck with your pent-up anger.
gojoeyr damn why are u so triggered?
EMERALDLOVER _15
You might want to sit down for a few minutes, you'll be ok, lol. Troll comments often?
gojoeyr is subbed to someone called hitomi crossdresser and tuyahime neko who is also a cross dresser. Pretty sure he is insecure about his sexuality and takes it out on people who make jokes.
I *believe* the map pocket only being on the back of the passenger seat is because that is the most accessible one for the driver to reach. It's easier to reach to the right and back a little than directly behind you. It's old school.
That and they probably don't want backseat passengers (kids) messing with the driver's chair
I have the same thing on a 2012 Cruze.
The ZR3 will probably be the beginning of their aircraft line.
ZR3 would be insane! What if they made the ZL1 for trucks like they have Camaros?
Doug is the type of guy to give his Tinder date a Doug Score
Puzzle Kid hilarious! and orignal!! Hahaha! Thanks!!
joke is getting old
🤣💁🏼♂️
😂😂
Doug is the type of guy to review the Colorado ZR2 and not talk about the shocks!
Jonah Bare yep not to mention it only tows 5k, this can kill people overloading a truck.
I smell a lawsuit 5k pounds towing not 7700, overloading can kill people??
A Lawsuit against who? Doug?
Harlan Durant the V6 does 5k or 6k the diesel model does around 8k
Pliff Only the ZR2 has a Max towing of 5,000 lbs regardless of having the Duramax or V6 Gas Engine, Crew Cab (Long or Short Bed) or Extended Cab.
Reason is the softer longer travel suspension and shocks. Just like how the Raptor can only tow around 8,000 lbs even tho it has more power then the standard F-150.
Any other model (Z71 for example) will tow 7,600 or 7,700 lbs with the Duramax. Depending on 2wd or 4wd.
Doug I’ve been following you from the early times at jalopnik- I appreciate how much work you put into these videos and how efficient you’ve gotten through the years, it’s badass! Keep it up dude
I started out finding Doug very annoying.... but now... I love the guy!
He just has a lot of quirks and features.
@@kingalex29339 I'm dead🤣🤣🤣
Classic Doug DeMuro video. Spends 5 minutes talking about the stupid light bar; spends 0 seconds talking about the Multimatic DSSV suspension, which is quite possibly the most revolutionary thing about the ZR2.
R L that and the "manual mode" is actually a gear range selector in most trucks
I don't think he knows what a suspension is. He knows nothing about cars
Yeah i was really surprised he didnt bring up that suspension. Pretty bad ass. But then again im not really surprised.....
I was seriously hoping someone would mention this. I feel like the suspension is one of the highest selling points of the truck and it lost out to a roll bar lol
He called it a lift kit! What an insult! Doug, the kind of guy that would call the Mona Lisa a nice pic!
Jesus, was its first car wash with a brillo pad?
Matt Jia the owner probably actually takes it off road. My jeep looked lile that after its first time in the woods
Black is not the colour to get
I was referring to the heavy swirl marks on the clear coat , not the off road debris. Clearly was washed and dried improperly.
Exactly! My first thought was, "That's NEW??"
Thought the same thing
Glad you like it, I build these. My team puts on the hood scoop and main body wiring harness and a few other things.
I love how Doug's height changes from 6'2" to 6'4" from video to video
Doug the type of guy to review a Chevy Colorado from Tacoma International Airport
Rob Spaghetti oddly enough it was a the Tacoma airport.
Kendal DK I just noticed that LOL
Rob Spaghetti
Holy shit lel
"One of the buttons is the exhaust break. It controls the exhaust break. "
Heated seats make me think I just pee'd in my seat. You know, it's all warm down there.
I'm not even really a car guy but I really enjoy your personality and the way you review cars
The most unenthusiastic "this" in a while. You ok Doug?
I was about to say the same thing
My boy seems down, right?
A Couple of Dudes on a Couch he finally understood that girls masturbate
Finnish Car Guys he just seemed down the whole video... I wonder what’s up.
Finnish Car Guys He is married now so his soul is crushed...
*_Is it just me, or Doug sounds so calm in the intro? :D_*
You're not alone brah
Just realized that Doug holds his hands up in every thumbnail.
my favourite Colorado is the z71, it is slightly cheaper ($37,000) and it has a reliability rating of 4/5, it also got winner of the year for 2016 pickup trucks in Motor trend and USN, the top speed is 135mph which is fairly good especially for a pickup, the z71 is available with the 3.6L v6 which has the most cylinders for Colorados, it also has the only V shaped engine and has the most hp of 308 and 275 lb ft of torque
Doug we want a face reveal
Undesirable Gaming no he hasn't revealed the face yet.
Face reveal would make me sub
Face of what?
Matt R dougs face reveal
Undesirable Gaming whoosh
>"midsize truck"
>truck bed reaches the height of your neck
car marketingdoesnt seem right anymore
Jarwd well you can put a lift kit on a Chevy luv and it's still a small pick up truck.
Well in the rest of the world it would be one of the biggest you can buy along with Hilux or L200. But in the US the large ones are borderline monster trucks. In my country one of those would only work only on main highways and open fields.
Doug! You completely missed out on the trick, DSSV suspension...
Watched this the other day, was thinking about it today and specifically came back to say thank you for the metric subtitles. That was probably a pain to do but i really appreciate it :) i know my imperial conversions, but for some reason the numbers dont really have the same noteworthyness or feel when its not in my native units.
Those swirl marks are driving me nuts!
Huracan Obsession good I hope the paint falls off. That’s what people get for undercutting us professional detailers and brining it to idiots.
Holy hell that's the only thing I could focus on during the beginning of the video. That's a NEW car??
You're saying you don't use only one bucket and reuse the rag after dropping it on the ground??? smh
Doug the type of guy to have a fifteen second bit about how Chevrolet are secretly advertising for Adidas.
Nick van Zwol I prefer Finlandia Swiss
Suzuki did it first with fronte and now they did it again with suzuki ignis
Not Adidas.... Fiat ( look up their '90s logo )
Dougie, thank you so much for the metrical subtitles.
i really appreciate your emphasis and excitement about the bar , thought i was the only one who made a big deal of it, bars on other trucks just less exciting, this is different , I like
I can't unhear the way he says Colorado
Chris Meacham ColorAdo
The way he says adidas too
How to start an intro like doug only 2 ways :
1. this is a
2. In front of me
Done
LAM Channel zisss. isss..
Haven't heard "In front of me" for a long time. All I hear is "This... is..."
you gotta emphasize the 'This'. it's like... "THIS... is something something why make three buttons?"
Note that in this episode the THIS is not emphasized enough. Doug didn't rehearse enough.
I appreciate all the conversions you do to km/h
and N*m, l/100 km
Hey Doug you should've mentioned the multimatic shocks, which is the reason this truck shines off road, along with it's wider stance, 2" lift, locking front differential,rock slide bars, and it's approach angles.
You've completely forgetten to mention the DSSV shocks. The only truck on the market to offer those shocks and they're the whole reason it is on-road and off-road capable.
The Shortish Nord Half the features on GM vehicles he either skips or talks about in the most uneducated way.
I get the feeling Doug doesn’t understand how capable this truck is off road. It’s not a budget raptor. In many ways it’s better than a raptor.
And her doesn't rate the truck as a truck. He scores it as if it were a family vehicle.
Also, side note, it's not a Jake break. thats a specific brand and a totally different set up that uses the valves. this one uses a flap of sorts near the turbo.
You miss the best part of the truck. The special adjustable shocks/dampers!
They arent adjustable though,they just use a spool valve internally rather than pistons and shims. Which,isnt really that big a deal.
Interesting. I guess I adjusted my shocks in my mind the other day. :)
I have a base model Tahoe, while it doesn't always work. Press the lock button, then hold the top circle button and it is push button start. Sorry Doug, love your videos!
It is the coolest of trucks - and it comes with the turbodiesel. Very popular down here in Kentucky! Great video Doug - thanks for sharing!
doug demuro the type of guy to wear a life jacket while mopping up the floor
Wolffie I laughed way too hard at that
Lmao why can I picture him tho doing that 😂
Wolffie he wears one when taking a bath that’s for sure
Next video..."Here's Why The El Camino is the coolest small truck"
Now that would be cool
TheNoseyProductions not a truck
The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupé utility/pickup vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet from 1959 to 1960 and from 1964 to 1987.
Introduced in 1958 (for the 1959 model year) in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero pickup, its first run lasted only two years. Production resumed in 1963 (for the 1964 model year) based on the Chevelleplatform. In 1977 (for the 1978 model year) it was shifted to the GM G-body platform. Production finished in 1987.
Although based on corresponding Chevrolet car lines, the vehicle is classified and titled in North America as a truck. GMC's badge engineered El Camino variant, the Sprint, was introduced in 1970 (for the 1971 model year). Renamed Caballero in 1977 (for the 1978 model year), it was also produced until 1987.
In Spanish, el camino means "the road" or "path".
By GM its a truck tho😐
Zettel 9016 Why would I waste time?
“Brand New”
Paint is TRASHED
Myles Hejmanowski in the north there is no way to avoid auto washes because in winter you cant wash it yourself. you also need the underbody to get washed every week so it doesnt rust. there is no way to do this without an auto wash. the owner of this car just hasent buffed it or had it professionally waxed
John vandenheuvel Nah There’s such thing as touchless washes. Either this truck was touched many times by a crappy hard bristled snow brush or it has gone off-roading in mud (based on the mud already on it) and mud etched into the paint. I’m a detailer and I’ve seen all kinds of clear coat scratches in my time alive, from crap brushes.
Nah I just off road it!
Fuck having a garage princesses this truck is meant to be used:
Check out my car on Turo! turo.com/us/en-us/truck-rental/kent-wa/chevrolet/colorado/308355
Richard Reyes hey man that’s cool you got to watch Doug review your truck. I also off-road my s10 in the north mud and it’s nice to see it all clean and black again after. But I show off the mud I gathered for a week or so ahah
@@d4s2k fuck you and your truck.
Thanks doug for adding metric measures.
This is among the best entertainment on YT. I had to put on a pot of coffee and make cheese sammiches to watch this. :P
same whenever doug uploads i get food so i can watch it comfortably
Molly Nap Queen
What bread did you use?
Toasted or not?
What cheese was used.. quantity?
Tomato?
How was it sliced?
Putting it on white bread.. with 2 pieces of Velvetta.. with barely a melt or toast on the exterior...
Is a problem and downgrade for ALL BREAD KIND!!!
Molly Nap Queen mmmm....sammichs
You guys are all creeps.
let's make babies
Good lord look at that paint. That’s why you don’t run black vehicles through a car wash!
Adam Gentry that paint got fucked up, and there was water spots 😔
Drake Smith were*
Lucki Fan Account I would like to call myself a "grammar nazi"
That paint is so bad i dont even think a car wash did it.(and i normally would) almost think the owner is one of those who rubs the dirt off with a dry rag or something. or a gas station squeegee
Was scrolling through the comments to see if someone else noticed, the first thing i saw....
As a Washingtonian myself I'm embarrassed but not surprised to see the Bigfoot themed sticker and "roots" WA outline sticker. Those are like the new national icon of "I'm an outdoorsy/adventurous young person" around here. My friends and I go out of our way to snap pictures of WA plate Subaru Crosstrek's that don't have some version of a WA roots/tree heart beat sticker on it lol
Lmao same thing here in Oregon
Awesome video Doug. This is the perfect Pickup for those who want a cool pickup. , but don’t want or need a full side pickup or Raptor.
What? No mention of the special Multimatic DSSV shocks?
forreal
DEF? DPF regen?
How is it even possible to review the ZR2 and not once mention the Multimatic DSSV shocks, literally the most significant thing about this whole truck. Mind-boggling.
I agree..Doug doesn't always do enough homework. Like the time he was fascinated by a high/low beam switch controlled by your left foot. Nearly all cars had them at one time yet Doug made it sound like a rarity. Or speaking so highly of the Jeep Cherokee which when they were new in the 80s and 90s were horrible unreliable vehicles. He shows his age sometimes...but on the other hand he's mainly great at what he does.
I've had my 2017 Z71 Colorado Diesel for nearly two years now. I've never experienced any of the issues other commentators have mentioned. Only a couple recalls were issued for my year model. 1: Infotainment Center update. 2: DPF sensor update. All was corrected with a couple of computer flashes. Keep on truckin'!
other year has passed and still no issues. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I love the simple yet functional use the interior controls. Finally a NO PUSH BUTTON ignition. No will accidentally running.
I much rather have an actual key , instead of a push button.
I would agree.
Makes it official.
But then again, I haven't had a car with a start button.
And a button to start your car would be cool
I have a name , until the battery in your keyfob is dead, and you have to take the fob out of your pocket and put it near the button, or the specific place the car has it, and start it that way.
A key, never fails.
I deal with push button start cars at work, and I am not a fan
My Corolla is push button and my Silverado is a key. The key is the way to go. I'm not a fan of push button start
If your battery dies there is supposed to be a physical key in the key fob. There is also an actual ignition switch somewere
But you will get both key and the key fob.
The rear seat pocket is for the driver. It would be hard for the driver to use a pocket behind their own seat. Thats my theory
Jacob Hyde i agree 100%. i use those pockets all the time. and you can’t really reach the one behind driver seat from the seat itself
Jacob Hyde im glad i read the comments because i was thinking the same thing
My honda is the same, pocket only behind the passenger seat
Jacob Hyde I think it's a GM thing. My 01 cavalier only has one on the passenger side as well and I believe it is for the driver .
He rented a Colorado at the Seattle-TACOMA airport. Says LOADS right there. Chevy ZR2 FTW!
And now he drove a Tacoma
And preferred it
Doug, I figured out who you remind me of, Jay Leno.
The condition of that paint... at least it's being used though :D
Yeah that blew me away. That paint looks SO BAD for being so new.
Shodan Cat If you off-road in the Pacific Northwest, your trucks paint job is going to suffer. Old logging railroad grades are favorite trails to run on when looking for mud. And the trees grow really thick along them. Thats one way to tell a real offroader from a wannabe.
Yeah I understand that. I'm sure with a little effort (two or three proper wax applications, for example) could still keep it looking pretty nice. But if the owner doesn't give a crap about it, more power to 'em :)
thats from neglect not offroading
Touch car washes.
This rating system is so confusong lol coolest truck gives it a 5 out of 10 for coolness
Perhaps he just hates this vehicle category in general?
Not confusing at all, it makes perfect sense. The score applies to ALL cars in the list respectfully.... Are you expecting him to give a Colorado a 10 out of 10 alongside some of the rarest exotics? That would be ridiculous. It's a cool truck, but that's just it, a cool truck, can only be rated so high on the list, when the list contains exotics and other rare vehicles too.
Mid sized trucks is a very niche category, if anyone is gonna spend 45 grand they get a brand new silverado
Programmerx gotta give chevy room to improve lol, I got a job review last week, gave me a 4 out of 5.... had no problems with my work and nothing he wants me to do or improve on. Says dont worry, nobody gets a 5. Needless to say I am irked!
I think 5 is high for any truck besides the Raptor
Hey Doug! Wanted to let you know that the ZR2 is rated at towing 5000lbs, not 7700lbs. I was looking this up myself earlier, before I even realized you published a video on it. From GM as to why, "... [the] two-inch higher lift, three and a half inch higher track, and both cause towing ratings to slip". Maybe worth throwing updated text on the video. It's also noted on Chevy's official, "Trailering and Towing Guide" for the Colorado at the bottom, "Towing capability is capped at 5,000 lbs. for Colorado ZR2, regardless of engine."
gmauthority.com/blog/2016/11/why-the-2017-chevrolet-colorado-zr2s-tow-rating-fell-by-2000-pounds/
Frankly I think it _can_ tow the full 7700lb. I mean tell any lifted truck owner that, as long as they had the proper stance/tongue weight/etc, they can't tow their full capabilities anymore. I imagine GM is being conservative because of the shocks but who knows.
From one car guy to another -- I am a little disappointed. Doug you are typically way more researched than this. I know it's a truck but it's not that hard. Glad you reviewed the truck though.
Hell my 2004 Jeep Liberty tows 5000 pounds. Doug has about no idea when it comes to offroading.
Doug is a type of a guy who switches off-road mode ON when he sits on the toilet
Please review a Smart. Please.
WubWub hes 6'2 he can't fit inside
AK Safwat he's definitely 6'4", didn't ya know?
AK Safwat he fit inna BMW isetta he’ll make it work
he should review a fisker
That's dumb.
Doug the type of guy to tear off the crusts of his PB+B sandwich
Jeff Boski
You mean PB&J?
Daft newt you high? PB+B?
Eduj
Peanut butter and bread?
Lmao he totally is
Peanut butter + Banana. It’s an Elvis Presley classic recipe.
Who remembers when doug's videos were ~5 mins?
Now we get full tutorials on how to set cruise control.
I signed up for Turo using your link, Doug. Thanks for the $25 credit. I hope you enjoy yours too!
Im glad chevy offers a diesel with this truck, its cool
maxxjett films
Eww, diesel...
Poopsticle_256 your missing out, diesel rocks!
maxxjett films roll coal on the environmentalists
maxxjett films There's litterly no difference worth noting between diesel and gasoline engines besides the fact that diesel does mess around with the world a little bit more. Drive safely! :D
WubWub better mileage, higher torque, less maintenence and longer durabilty to name some key differences that diesel does better than gas.
"Coolest midsize truck!" and the Doug score is 46 :)
I know right ? Does not match up to what he said about this truck AT ALL, SCORES IT A 1 FOR ACCELERATION ? IS IT A LAWNMOWER ?
Turo probably threatened to cut him off if he kept slamming the cars that he gets through them. He didn't seem very enthusiastic throughout.
Being a Chevy is an insta-40 point penalty
Cool is Doug's only adjective
Doug bases his acceleration score off sports cars so even if the vehicle gets insanely good acceleration for the class it's still a 1. That F-250 he did weighs like 9000 pounds and got 0-60 in ~6 seconds and he gave it a one
The rear seat reminder is a good idea and much needed.
The ZR4 is a Chevy Van with a Corvette Engine ;)
Chevy ExpreSS
it's a little too Big to be called Colorado it's more like Texas ZR2

Bestname123 that's pretty obvious he was implying the truck should be called Texas instead of Colorado because it it bigger than the stock Colorado.
Bestname123
You're dumb hahaha!
@Bestname123 Hate to brake it to you buddy, but I think you need to read things completely b4 writing replies.
Yet incase you do not clearly understand what he wrote, let me brake it down for you.
He clearly said that its too BIG to be called Colorado and should be more like Texas, since Texas is BIGGER than Colorado.
The ZR2 is rated at 5,000lbs towing because of the suspension. The regular Colorado/Canyon with the diesel engine can tow 7,700lbs.
Rob Huddleston 👌
?
I know. I cringed every time he said 7,700
But this is a Diesel Colorado.
retardno002 but this is the ZR2 with different suspension and a limited Towing capacity
Bought a 17 Colorado Z71 with the Duramax diesel...48k miles later it had numerous electrical issues. Had it in the dealership for the better part of a month. Finally got fed up and told the dealer I didn't want it back. Two different mechanics I spoke to while hanging around the shop told me they see a lot of the diesels in the shop...left that day with a Zr2 V6. Loved the diesel but it has some bugs to get worked out.
I placed my order for one of these today, can't wait!
MrGameing101 tow rating is only 5000 lbs. Keep that in mind.
BigFrogs4x4 thanks I know, not going to be towing that much most wanted the bed and a small truck instead of a SUV
MrGameing101 its good for that! Love ours.
Apparently the ZR3 will be an Electric Semi.
LOL.
Wait ... seriously??!!
Doug you gotta do more research on these. Last week’s Motorcraft gaffe was harmless, but people could watch this and actually think this truck tows 7500 pounds. It actually only tows 5000.
noobasdfjkl 5K , i own one.
The diesel version can tow up to 7500
S1000RR Ant not in ZR2 trim it can’t. The off-road suspension lowers the towing capacity.
S1000RR Ant stop the fake news...
I don't know where I got the extra 500 from.
Rear seat reminder... kids! No sh*t?? I thought that was so I didn't forget my ice cream, and have it melt all over my leather ZR2 seat! Wow. Thanks for straightening me out! Good thing I don't have a baby. Hahahaha
Thanks as always for the unit conversions
Didnt even go into the shocks...
Doug knows what he doesn't know. And he doesn't really know trucks.
So sad to see his reviews of trucks like this. TFL trucks is much better.
Doug 2k18- "If I were buying a zr2, id make sure it had the bar".
I have to agree with you. I've got a 2015 Z71, which is the other off-road model. It comes with a rear locker (automatic), but lacks the front locker and front bumper of the ZR2. I get about 21MPG average mixed driving. It's comfortable, stable, a capable work-horse and handles moderate off road trails easily. Mine is the 305HP V6, and I'd say performance is a little lacking, but I'm biased by my other car, which is an 815HP Corvette.
I like this truck, wish the diesel had a bit more power so hopefully the next one gets upgrade. Also a reduction in price would be nice, price is the same as a full size pickup
How did you not mention one of the most important features of this truck, the Multimatic Shocks!
“A second third brake light”...didn’t realize I was watching inception Doug
The first iteration of the ZR2 was on the S10 and Blazer variants. S10 also had a ZR5 for the off-road crew cab light pickup.
Yep, this video just confirmed it for me. I’m checking out a ZR2 tomorrow. I’ve been truck shopping and I was stuck between a Tundra Pro TRD, Silverado, Dodge Ram 1500, but they all suck on gas. Yep I might be getting one
Tbone Scriv Tow ratings actually limited to 5,000lbs for the ZR2!
Ford ranger:”hold my beer”
George Washington because it has to get unstuck from the mud
Ford ranger is amazing
CAMARO_KYLE any truck can get stuck in mud! Had you been muddin with friends you’d realize that
thank you very much for adding L/100km
Dougla is the only type of reviewer who will press and show all of the buttons in the truck without turning it on😂😂
I love my Colorado! But it’s only an LT.
I drive it daily to school and work. I would like to see some more modern features in it like you mentioned, although it is a 2016 model.
“THE BAR” - Doug DeMuro
I got a hard on for that Hard Bar!
Doug’s the type of guy who won’t let you cheat in class
"We'll whoop your ass after the class"
Doug: okay, i won't tell the teacher.
I have a 2007 Colorado and man I hope hope they have given the new ones a better turning radius. To say my 07's turning radius sucks would be an understatement!
Those tyres makes me shiver Doug!
Doug the type of guy to copy and save all the Doug the type of guy comments.
Yo, Doug. Whats wrong? You don't seem nearly as happy as usual
I noticed that too. Hope all is well, Doug!
Feel better soon Doug!!
He seemed really bitter about losing his camera bracket and I agree x1,000.
Just bought a 2018 ZR2 Midnight edition and I am much more excited about it then Doug was while reviewing his rental.
TheStruggleville it's a great truck! He just does these videos for the money or something else because he won't update the tow rating. I had too many emails and comments calling me names because I stated the correct tow numbers in my video. They watch these guys because they are "famous" and think they are correct.
I love my Colorado! Didn't know about the ZR2 until after I purchased, otherwise I probably would've picked it up.
