Not a bad idea for a video - what happened to the long-term vehicles after they were sold? Is it still going, or needed a new engine and transmission 6 months later. I'm sure some must have interesting stories.
They would get a truck that is mostly used for commuting and towing his boat to the lake a handful of times during the summer. How is that interesting or funny in any way?
WOW, I've gotta hand it to Andrea he's got balls, not only did he do a hard torture test but in that kinda weather with his own new personal truck. Hats off to him.
No doubt he'll never keep it & no way would I ever buy that truck or any other truck not after watching them torture them. So, I guess it is just a business write off for him.
This was such a fun video. I laughed my a** off. You guys are a great team and the entertainment level of this video was off the charts. We learned something while laughing. Great job guys and thanks Andre for sacrificing your truck.
During the off road part, with how much the truck was moving around, I thought he was doing 35+ but it turns out he was during under 15. That is indeed torture.
My wife’s Forester is an awesome vehicle in the NWPA snow, especially when we put studded snow tires on it. I would never take it through deep water or down a rocky trail, though! You’ve got to know & respect the limits of your vehicle.
Great video. Your B roll was really great. The low shot at the end, with the truck, the trailer, the mountain, the rain and the hail all together, was framing genius. Thank gentlemen, for sharing your fear with us, because we would feel the same things when we get into the same situations. Outstanding!
Can't wait to see the content on that sweet-looking Jeep Liberty Jet trim level. I had a 2010 Liberty 4x4 and it handled Connecticut snowstorms and Winter weather like a Champ. I'd probably still have it now if it wasn't totaled in an accident by some idiot DUI doing over 100 mph that rear ended me.
Great test. There werent many comments on the trucks ability, but it looked like it handled the loan pretty well up and down the hill. Pretty impressive in those conditions.
Excellent, excellent test. One of the best I’ve seen. Andre, brother, you keep pushing that truck and you’re going to need a new one…better make a deal with Chevy that they give you a new truck for all the publicity you’re giving them. Great test! I was gritting and smiling the whole time. Keep up the great work!
The Colorado isn't my thing, but I have to give it props. This was impressive and a good indication of the 4cylinder ability. Of course if you tow frequently, you should probably get a bigger truck, but it's good to know it's max tow rating is completely viable if you need to use it.
@mikek5298 Prop: a support such as a beam to keep something in position. The metaphorical prop is using the power of the collective voice to prop up a product into its appropriate position by giving accolades to ensure the product is praised and reviewed properly.

I 100% agree with mandatory training for anyone who plans to tow heavy loads. Years ago an elderly couple form Kansas bought a big motor home and a large toy hauler trailer to tow behind. They found them at the bottom of a steep canyon on the western slope of the Bighorn mountains in Wyoming. They were both dead. The motor home was still in high gear and the trailer brakes were not hooked up properly. The brakes were totally gone on the new motor home.
That mid-size truck of Andray's tows more, carries more and has a hecl of a LOT MORE HORSEPOWER than my Dad's Ford F150 truck from the 1980's! --- And it's actually slighltly LARGER in size than my Dad's F150 truck! These mid-size trucks are getting so good that it's getting harder and harder to JUSTIFY the purchase of say an F150 or GMC/Chevy/RAM 1500 series! I prefer the GMC Canyon AT4x AEV edition that's coming out soon so it's a such a hard choice to make since most of the new ones in the mid-size segment are so good these days and even the lower-trim models are miles ahead of the older trucks! V
@@kunu1990 It's 7700 lbs towing and 1540 lbs of in-bed cargo for the mid-size Chevy Colorado bought by Andrey which is FAAAAAR MORE than my Dad's 1980's-era Ford F150 full-size truck! And my Dad's truck DID NOT HAVE trailer control, auto-braking, traction control, GPS mapping and cameras of any sort! Andrey's truck is faaaaaaaaar better than even a truck from TEN YEARS AGO! If somebody gave me Andrey's model truck I would be more than happy to enjoy it every day by towing and hauling all my work and camping gear! I would have NO PROBLEM with getting a Chevy Colorado! This time, GM finally spent the time and money to actually GIVE THE PUBLIC what it wants and needs for mid-size trucks! This Colorado is really THAT GOOD! If you are on a budget but STILL want to buy a NEW truck, this is a good deal! When you have some spare cash, just upgrade the lower trims with some decent 3rd party parts to bring it up to Raptor-style off-road capability! In my opinion, almost any trim of the NEW Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon mid-size trucks are TRULY WORTHY vehicles for people who can spend somewhere around $45,000 USD. V
@@StarGateSG7Half tons are way nicer and better than these midsize trucks. This test is EASY for an f150 with the 2.7 ecoboost. They have more room, ride better, are safer, bigger beds etc. These midsize trucks should be $32,000.
Good adventure vid! One thing that kept coming to mind was that in almost every video Mr truck wears a hat. Now with hail and pouring rain, no hat! WTH lol
This is why i recomend people to get full size for towing over 5k “Me? Oh no, I pull big with small vehicle. Dont be me” dont be Andre or me 😂 Good video Boys! You are brave Andre!!
i like this test better than the interstate test.its more "real world". after all you often have to take back roads to get to your destination.& we all know how tricky back roads can be when towing.this was a GOOD idea.congrats guys.
Just a little informative reason why you may smell transmission fluid without there being a leak. I work in a Ford truck factory. Our 10 speed transmissions have a case vent tube to bleed off any pressure from a "non pressurized" area in the transmission. Similar to an axle vent tube on solid axle trucks. As long as it's not leaking/overheating, it's normal to smell a little sweet atf smell when pushing the limits.
Andrea and me truck’s videos are my favorite videos of this channel I would honestly watch an hour long video of them two just driving around and talking
With all respect.. I've driven my Uncle's Ranger and it's also a very nice and comfortable truck but it no where near has the power for/and for towing as a new Canyon/Colorado.
Hope none of this weather happens while I'm out there in a few weeks lol. But storms every evening typically I have to plan my runs/hike to get done before noon.
Crazy video! Dont understand why you’d put it into 4lo and shut traction control off vs putting into tow haul and manual shift, and rely a bit more on the trailer brake.
Pulling a 3800lb 22ft TT with our new Colorado TB. Tows it really easily, only complaint or curiosity is that it seems a bit bouncy. We also have the cross reverse auto braking saying its not functioning, but only alerts me to this on start up sometimes. No idea why, can't intentionally replicate it. Going to see what's up at dealer, but no noted issue. LOVE the auto light test when hooking trailer up too.
Great video. My son is in Colorado Springs (Spaceforce) and he's been texting me about the storms ya'll have been having. We are from RGV in south Texas. If you want to do a torture test, head to South Texas this next week. We don't have mountains, but it's going to be 105-109 high Temps all next week.
@@Mi4mi_joe I mean I leave my truck in auto mode for headlights, but there’s plenty of times it’s nice to quickly turn a dial to cut off my headlights. In my opinion this is a stupid design on gms part.
Colorado weather is the craziest weather I've ever experienced. In one 2 hour span I saw every type of weather. It started off about 90-95° then the temp dropped to what felt like freezing, enough to snow, sleet, hail, rain, thunder snow, blizzard conditions, thunder storms whatever you can think of. Then a few years later it hailed like that while I was out shopping. I watched helplessly as a woman's minivan got submerged with her in it. She'd gotten to the top of the van and they floated a raft to her eventually. Coupled with the fires and such and Colorado is a pretty hardy place to live.
This video was great yall. I ordered the new Ranger Raptor and am super excited to get it. I have a couple of Shelby Raptors, a diesel f150 platty, a supercharged 2014 5.0 f150, and three Super Duty 6.7s, so it will be interesting to try a mid size for once, especially since I plan on putting a camper on the Ranger.
Andre, thank you for doing this test with your truck! Now, I don't have to do it with mine, which I pick up this week. Wow! I'm curious, what vehicle did you use to follow you around?
That's a perfect situation for 4 hi, that's beyond the need of 4 auto. Auto waits for those back wheels to break loose before it engages the front end, as someone who has towed plenty in the snow, ditch 4 auto in those situations. Auto is great for around town, not towing a maxed out load up a steep grade in a sleet storm.
10:32 Andre, why don't you ever have the DIC showing actual temps? That would be much more helpful than the useless gauges that have no reference temps.
Great content! I would love to see this same test with the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor (when you can get a test vehicle), as I am curious if the transmission would heat up similar to the Raptor R or not.
With 300,000 on my Chevy 02 SUV , I’ve been looking at the Chevy Colorado . I just need to sell around 19,000 of my books first 😅 I would not put the burden on one as you do but your video shows it would far exceed my requirements for one.
Colorado did great! Happy with my Tundra TRD Pro, but honestly, the Colorado could do just about everything I need. I do occasionally need the larger cabin and tow capacity, but 9/10 I'm only towing motorcycles or my Corvette by myself with a rack and rooftop tent. The Colorado can do that.
What temp does the red mean? If I was Andre I'd install an oil cooler for the transmission with all the towing involved. Below 200 f is preferred. Even lower the better.
6:46 Those large safety chain hooks right up against the hitch pin and clip would make me nervous. I'd have to find another solution or shove the clip all the way through to the loop that way the hook couldn't back the clip out.
I regularly tow 7700lbs on my 2.2 diesel 2014 Ford Ranger 6 speed automatic on similar roads, though mostly paved. I wouldn’t use low range on that descent except on the very worse parts. Also in the hail, which I haven’t ever encountered while coming down that road type. In the UK only inertia brakes are allowed so I would be very nervous of those bends down hill. I’d make sure that there was a bit more nose weight to gain rear truck traction and avoid being pushed sideways. I should mention, before anyone else comments, that European Rangers are rated to carry 2350lbs and tow 7700lbs/3.5 metric tons.
I just checked the TFL Truck online shop....and Andre needs to make some limited-edition t-shirts that say: "...but, does it have cruise control?"🤣🤣🤣 I'd TOTALLY buy one!
Andre is okay if it blows up…..then he can get a vehicle with cruise control
I came for the towing test but I’m staying for the Andre cruise control jokes 😂
My exact thought! lol
Increases the odds of it blowing up if his dash blacks out again and can’t tell if he’s going to overheat
😂😂
& a 3-piece back window hahaha
Imagine buying a 1 year old, second hand truck then finding out Andre owned it 😂

@@mattbrew11exactly. He won't have this truck in 18 months let alone 3 yr/36k 😅

Pretty good for a 4 cylinder with turbo. It helps to run the AC or defroster so the 2nd fan runs.

Nice review - I could do with a bit less of the pseudo-drama' but it was nice to see what this truck can do in real-world conditions.
Don’t worry it’s legal in Colorado to inhale burning brakes “18:45” 😂
I love Mr Truck honesty! You can see Andre thinking should we edit that 🤔 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks
This is awesome. Real world testing right there. Maybe next time on a hot dry day. And to think most folks mall crawl with theirs.
Very few people actually scrape up their daily drivers, even if they take them off road a bit
We haopened to be in Colorado that day and experienced it!
It almost sounds like Mr Truck was nervous haha!!
Thanks
WOW! What a trip
I just love how he only calls him Mr. Truck 😂
I'd hate to be stuck in a life or death situation with "mr. truck" yeesh
Yea, he’s a little to much
I just checked the TFL Truck online shop....and Andre needs to make some limited-edition t-shirts that say: "...but, does it have cruise control?"🤣🤣🤣 I'd TOTALLY buy one!
Very entertaining video thank you. How could Andre wear a t-shirt in that weather?
“That’s a huge problem”…. Walks away in opposite direction
Clearly not his problem😂😂
2.7 isnt enough displacement for engine braking downhill with a trailer unfortunately. You could also try hill descent control
The temperature on this day was much colder then the day the raptor went up
