    People that complain about the hard plastics on the interior must not realize that the entire mid-size segment is designed this way … simplicity is the game. If you want a posh interior, then you’re looking at $55K++. This ZR2 can be had for roughly $45K and nothing else comes close in the segment for capability. Simple 1.5” level & 33s are all these trucks really need … easy & not very expensive. 👍🏻

    The shock mount issue have been addressed for the next gen. I think GM was cost cutting, and just used the standard Colorado/Canyon shock mounts instead of having to make one specifically for ZR2. Silverado ZR2 has the same issue.

    I have a 19 Z-71, and yes the headlamps are weak. Also, the door pockets are a bad design/small. My 19 Ford Escape has great pockets. Looking to buy a 23 Colorado (if it has LED headlamps) or a Ranger w/ LEDs. I hope Chevy keeps the V-6, but it looks like the 2.7 is going to be the only engine.

    @joshuahelm5660 2 года назад +2

    Thanks for the video. I have the same truck (different color). For me, there are a couple of cons that make me go hmmmmmmmmmmm.
    Agreed about the rear sliding window: This is my top complaint. What person at GM (who gets paid a lot of money I'm sure), decided a manual sliding window is good? It's basically useless. You can't reach it to open/close while driving. This is so stupid.
    Hand grabs (oh shit handles). This is designed for off road, so why not make it like that just a little on the interior. There's a handle on the passenger side, but where are the others on driver and rear?
    No power USB or USB-C in the middle console. It's blanked out. Why?
    Wireless phone charger. It's too small for any phone. Either make it bigger or just remove it.
    Rear seat AC/Heat vents. My wife has a Jeep Willys and it has rear vents. The Colorado, nope.
    Overall I really like this truck. I too plan to overland it eventually. But these few things really make no sense for the price paid.

      @@robertlenning332 I was driving from San Antonio to Fort Worth to buy the diesel and visit my fam and about 30 minutes out the salesman called to cancel because somehow they didn’t realize that the ZR2 had been deleted/tuned (I was planning on doing it regardless). Fortunately my old man lives there so not all was lost and he starting looking for the diesel and found a ‘19 back in San Antonio 🤦🏻‍♂️. The next weekend I bought it and bought the delete kit about 2 weeks later. Best decision ever. The particulate filter kept throwing codes and kept giving me a check engine light. I had to drive in “reduced power mode” for almost 3 weeks before the dealer could see me (height of c19 restrictions). They cleared the code and did a forced regen but the light came back so they ordered a full DPF system to replace mine. I felt kinda back cause it cost $2600 (cost the dealership, warranty 💪🏼) for the system and I deleted it 1 week later 🤣 I had to wait to delete it to clear the check engine light otherwise it stays on and it’s gotta be cleared by the dealership. I was already impressed by the stock torque but the tune woke it up Big Time and I average 30mpg with a 4” lift and 33’s. Love that damn truck.

    I have the 2022 ZR2 finished off in cherry red tint coat I swapped out the rock sliders for running boards not going to use it for severe off roading needed to have running boards to make it easier to get in and out since it sits higher then normal trucks love the truck no issues. Yet knock on wood lol the only con I have is the replacement cost for the shocks for all 4 it's around 8000.00 but was told that the shocks should last the life of the truck if not driven hard
