If you like cars, then you are in the right place.
Thanks for joining me on my journey with two of my cars, and watching me grow and upgrade them.

Payload is 1550lbs, and towing is 7000lbs. I think I misspoke in the video saying payload was 5000lbs lol, apologies. Enjoy the video
Honestly, I just came down here to tell you the 5k was way wrong, lol. But I appreciate the correction right away here. For those like me wondering wtf to get as far as payload in the current models. This is about the same as the Trail Boss (But the trail boss has 9.3k+ in towing), once you jump up to the 2500 you get about 3.6k+ in payload and 13k+ towing. But, from my experience so far, those trucks are not good daily drivers. Hence, why I am here watching this video.
Got my like for this video 49 seconds in. Admits he's not a reviewer but an actual customer giving his insight and perspective. 👍
This was a great video for me to watch because I bought a '22 last night, same color as yours, and I haven't even seen it yet. It's on a truck heading for the dealer. Hearing your satisfaction in ownership adds to my confidence that it was a good purchase.
I bought my 19' brand new 3 years ago and have had zero issues with it. My one real gripe is just that I have big feet and the gas pedal is close to the wall so my foot always feels like it is in the way just a bit. But you get used to it and don't really notice unless your on a long drive. Then I just switch to cruise control anyway, so no big deal. Great truck. Cheers.
This is the most genuine car review I’ve ever seen. Well done sir.
Thank you so much 👍
@@2024CorvetteE-Ray Is your truck a 4wd? I would like a RWD in either the LT or Z71 in a v6 but wanted to know if it was a big difference in those two as far s the engine?
RWD
It's good to se someone not in the review world doing a review of their experience. Like you said, not many review videos of customer bought trucks which help a lot more in my opinion for someone to want to buy a truck. I am planning on buying a new '21 Chevy Colorado Z71. I'll be customizing it a bunch too to go with my style. Great video and was very helpful.
I agree Just purchased 22 Z71 in black. Love it. Last one on the lot in black. You should put a cover on the bed.
I have owned my 2019 crew cab LT V6 for 2 years now, its been a great truck since day 1!
Same here, I bought a 2019 Colorado crew cab brand new and 2 years strong man I love it
I owned a 2018 WT Crew Cab for 3 years and just traded it in for a 2021 Crew Cab Z71. In my opinion they're the perfect truck!
I bought a 2015 Colorado z71 4x4 3.6L 4 door sort bed new back in the day. Put a 2" level on front, and 1.5" rear blocks, and bigger tires. Truck has been great 89k miles on so far and no problems. Those stock tires only lasted me about 38k miles. Hope you enjoy the truck.
Agree. i dislike sales pitch & car review by non actual users. we need honest uers' review. thanks for the video bud.
Great review, just what people want to know. I appreciate the "real guy conversation". I'm considering downsizing from a full size and this is my first choice,
I down sized from a 2020 crew cab Silverado to a 2021 Z-71 crew cab Colorado and love it. wished I would of done it sooner.
@@acdc5579 can I ask why you decided to downsize? Just wondering because I’m trying to decide on Colorado vs Silverado?
Love the phone reviews and always appreciate your honest had many of the phones you were reviewing and they were spot on my 2017 Chevy Colorado 4wd lt gets me 23-25 on the hwy and I absolutely loved my truck
I have the same truck, had it for 2 years, just hit about 18000 miles. Love mine so far. Good truck for my needs.
What’s mpg
@dancampbell5197 any repairs so far?
It's around 20MPG, no repairs yet just oil changes.
Looks great, I just bought a 2021 Ford Ranger XLT Sport, I considered the Colorado, but have always been a Ford man. I'm putting a video together about it now. Great video
Can't wait to check it out sir....I'll be watching. Thanks for coming by...
I like my 16 Z71 so much that I'm not going to trade any time soon. I do light towing and change my own oil at 3000 miles. Good video
I just got the z71 midnight edition. I love it so far
Thanks for the video! I just ordered a 2022 Colorado LT Redline a week ago. I can’t wait until the factory kicks it out the back door and it arrives at the dealership! I got a real good price because my Dad worked for GM for about thirty years before he retired. I’ll probably be so excited when it arrives, I might do a video myself!
I love my 2021 Colorado. No problems.
Fantastic video my man, just picked up a brand new 2022 3 days ago. Love it so far
I love my Colorado- it’s a great truck
Bought a ‘21 Z71 4WD in March and haven’t hit 1000 miles yet. Thanks for the review.
Nice looking truck, my wife just traded her Mercedes for the 2022 Colorado midnight edition. She loves it so far.
Fine review and very well done. My 22 is being delivered tomorrow!
I still have my 2013 Silverado extended cab Z71 looks like new still 107000 miles but I am gonna get a new truck . I like the Colorado. Nice truck buddy
I plan on keeping this one until it doesn't run any longer, 😂. 400 or 500k is my goal. Love this truck. Thanks for watching.
Hey there I own a 2018 Kinetic blue Colorado and I love my truck no problems in it has 53K miles one suggestion modification I did remove the black stickers on the little section of the door posts use a heat gun feels right off it’s just a sticker the paint color to me looks better as a wraparound for the doors and for your gray color I think it will look better too
You talking about the door pillars. I just bought a 2017 z71 midnight edition and was about to by some vinyl to cover it. Looks like it is fading. You telling me its a sticker and I can pull it off?
@@pokejr66 yes they are vinyl stickers from factory. Use a heat gun to warm it as you peel from top of the door . The sticker will pull rt out from under the trim .
Nice video and review. Very humble and honest. If you’re getting 30 mpg actual, that is amazing.
A review from you is better anyway. A regular person who is honest .
Great job explaining, Your a natural at it. reviewing that is.
Looking at one of these currently you have the best review!!!
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for making this! Definitely narrowed it down to the Colorado or Tacoma, and I'm a GM loyal so this sold me, more so than dealers videos. Great video
👍🏾 thanks 🙏
Nice review...and thanks. I just purchased a 2022 Canyon and I love it.
Sharp looking truck! It's great for us guys who just need a small truck for dump runs and yard work. I also love the wide side steps, were those factory?
No I added them a while back, ruclips.net/video/lsKrb9WYeOA/видео.html
Thanks for the honest review... I recently bought one, and your review was helpful! Thanks my friend!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
THANK YOU! Really appreciate the honest real person review. First I have heard about the V6 displacement just another reason to buy. TY
i've had one for over a year now. still like it. I haul a lot of long things like 16' boards that I pass thru the back window and let them rest on the tailgate. Although they come in as far as the dashboard, I have a towel there, but they never seem to touch the towel. I also keep a towel over the back window frame. I'm getting 19 mpg regularly in my highway/local driving here in PA. I hate the computer display nags about using your phone and not getting distracted and the ice warning when the temp gets to 37° or lower. they're annoying. I wish the heated steering wheel would turn on when I warm up the truck remotely. seats heat up but I have to manually turn on the heated steering wheel. overall it's a great truck I think.
Great job, Thank you.
I’m doing some research between Ford and Chevy , And I’ve been leaning towards the Colorado. I think you might’ve put me in the Chevy.
The headrests in the back fold down so that you can fold down the back seats. Just pull the loop on the top of the seat backs.
I traded a '17 Colorado Z71 for a '22 Colorado Z71. My '22 is the same color as yours. I ordered it August 16th and got it October 11th. I like the Colorado, it's great for what I do. I hauled a lot of stuff in the '17, and enjoyed it quite a lot. Just before I got the new one, the torque converter went, it was replaced under warranty. I have 175 miles on the new truck LOL. Believe it or not, it has a power lock on the tailgate. I don't cover the bed so it makes no sense to me. It locks and unlocks along with the rest of the doors which is odd. My '17 had a key lock which I never even tried to lock because I had no reason to. I had the sprayed on bed liner from the dealer on that truck and the new one. It wears like iron and it also keeps stuff from sliding around because of the grippy surface. I have the same side rails as you, I had them factory installed. I had leather seats in the old truck, I went for the cloth seats this time. I like the Colorado, it's a great driving truck, gets respectable mileage, it's powerful and it is quite capable as well. I got an extended warranty on this truck as well, I always do that. I enjoyed your video, no sales pitch, no corny jokes, just straight up information from using it in the real world. Good luck with your truck down the road, and thanks for making this video. Oh, one thing I ordered for the new truck that I overlooked when I ordered it, splash guards. I live in rural NY state, and they spread some kind of grit on the roads in the winter in addition to salt. Most cars and trucks around here are all rotted behind the wheels from that stuff kicking up and sanding off the paint. The splash guards prevented any damage to the paint from that sandy stuff, so to me, they are a good investment.
I actually totaled my 17’ Z71 and tomorrow I’m picking up a 22’ Z71. So we’re kinda in the same boat!
@@jremeee1599 Soon after I got the '22 Colorado, I removed the air dam that's under the front bumper. It is attached with 13 sheet metal screws and removes easily without disturbing anything else. That air dam is too close to the ground, and hits plow mounds and steep driveways. The truck looks better now too. There are videos here on RUclips detailing the process and showing the difference.
How have the 22s been? I'm on the brink of closing a deal for one myself.
@@ericg.7053 My truck is running great. It has settled down to just under 26mpg and I have no problems with it at all. I already had to replace the windshield because of a rock, other than that, just maintenance.
Very good review dude. Been thinking about buying the 2022 z71. Thank you.
Glad I could help
I have the oedro floor mats also. Can’t beat the value!
You have a really valuable perspective as an actual owner. Well done on the video!
Thank you
Congratulations! Beautiful truck.
Dude, Good job! no one makes a truck with 5k payload. lol. it's probably around 1500. I have a silverado lease and want to go smaller and buy next year but with the bs they are pulling on prices I probably will buy out my 2019 silverado for 27,300.. I really want a Ridgeline but $$$$ may make me keep the silverado forever! Well done!
I'm at 4800 miles on mine and have noticed an odd sound when turning the wheel. I have read that these have all electric power steering and in colder weather they tend to make noise. Most of these times it's at a slow speed or at a stop. I own a 2022 z71.
Has the issue gotten more serious?
outstanding video. How has she held up?
I love my 2020..thanks for the great video
Like the review you kept it real. Wish there were more videos from normal users and not salesmen and journalist.
Thank you for supporting.
thanks for the review, how is the truck holding up?
I kept it for another 6 months or so, then sold it and wend to a full size truck. BUT, it was amazing. I just needed a little more room for road trips and hauling things. GREAT truck though, and I'd do it again. The new models are AMAZING!
@@2024CorvetteE-Ray awe man , thinking of downgrading cuz i have the 2024 GMC Canyon At4 but for me it’s just too much tech. lol like AC vent seats i don’t think are strong enough, system lags with connecting online, i can’t do as much work myself like i could on my 2020 v6 Tacoma. it’s a lot more technology. and there’s an annoying “turbo” noise. if they had kept theV6 and maybe less or no piano blackgloss finishes i’d be happy with it.
Great vid man; agreed on the fresh buyer perspective. You helped in my decision a lot :)
Glad to hear it!
I think you did a great review on your truck. Hope you still like it.
LOVE this truck, but I upgraded to a 2022 Silverado recently. Thanks.
ruclips.net/video/98v4NqwmRNk/видео.html
I suppose to pick up a 2021 Colorado with a V6 they said nothing about this have Active fuel management where it switches to four cylinders if it does I will cancel it I don’t want any part of that!
Great video man! This solidifies my decision to buy the Colorado.
I have a '19 Z71 2wd and the best I've averaged on the hwy over 50 miles is ~26-27mpg. Usually, my combined mileage is ~21mpg and 24ish on the hwy. The 4 cyl mode seems to only activate when coasting downhill at speed. Any throttle input seems to switch it back to v6. That's not a complaint on my part, but it's not especially effective.
I would have to say my favorite upgrade to my truck has been 70% windshield tint with Xpel Prime XR+. It really keeps the heat and UV off the dash and out of the interior along with reduced glare. Very subtle exterior look too--hard to tell it's tinted, so not likely to catch any hassle from 5-0. I'll be doing this to any future vehicle and highly recommend it to others.
Thanks for the honest review. Im looking at buying one.
i have a 2021 Z71 and am still having problems with the rear camera not working in reverse intermittently. I've had it in to the dealer twice and they haven't done anything to fix it. i guess it has to fail completely before they'll do anything. I think it has something to do with getting wet. I also had to take it back to fix the weatherstripping around the rear driver's side door that was routed incorrectly at the factory. Otherwise it's been fine up to 28k miles. getting 19-20 MPG on average.
Thanks for posting. Notice any issues with the hood vibrating at high speeds?
Love the color.
Any issues or recalls so far? I read they had a lot of electrical, transmission problems. Looking into getting one but like you said, not too many videos of owner reviews.
Don't read what others say online, it goes nowhere. Just buy what you want, and experience it for yourself. That's the REAL review experience, that's how I roll.
Great video! So negotiation is possible these days? Found one like yours 37k.
2022 ....At 14:10 You mentioned yours was 40 AND you were at 33 out the door? Tell me how you do that please.
Loan or cash? It's great to know it's still possible. Thank you excellent video.
No tricks, I bought this in 2020. There were some discounts, and I'm also a Veteran. I just told them to take more money off 😆, and they did.
Great and helpful review. Thanks JW.
Towed my jetski around no problem but tbh it could use a little more balls and a little small inside for me. But no other issues so far
If cost was not an issue would you recommend the Silverado or the Colorado ZR2? I like this truck, but the ZR2 is 🔥.
Silverado for sure.
The truck isn’t clean?…. I was going to ask if you were a detailer by trade. Looks great!!!!
No issues with having a smaller backseat? That would be my issue with it but love everything else
Why does my 2021 Z71 have the leather with cloth insert interior seats but yours has the full leather? Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the three tone color scheme on my seats and think they are fine quality (cloth inserts included) but I'm just curious as I thought the leather with cloth inserts were the only options on the Z71 interior package. I know the ZR2s have the full leather. Thanks! P.S. I have the same metallic silver as you do. I also have some weather guards on the windows and on the front of the hood in black which gives the truck a nice sporty/aggressive look.
Appreciate the video, just bought a 2022, Z71.
Thank you for this honest review
love your review - really helpful as I am thinking about this truck as well. Thanks
Sounds like you got hell of a deal
Great review , love your truck , thanks for sharing , I'm looking forward to getting my GMC Canyon
Keep it like it is those tires are great!
I have a 2021 Colorado Redline. I really like the truck
Thanks I like it may buy one still looking.
Great review! Keep them coming
Just bought the same truck but 2021 model and I absolutely love it but do your rear wheels make a clunking noise when the truck shakes side to side? I've heard this is normal but not sure. Nice video btw.
I was told this is normal also because I had the same issue
How much was it??
Great review, thank you!
Great review video i have a 2021 LT model in metallic blue 💯👌🏼
Nice.
Just bought the same 2022 LT. Blue as well. Waiting for delivery. Love to see a pic of the blue if it’s possible. Thx
Its a nice looking truck.
I like that color
Same as your charger 😁
I’m torn between this and a 1500. Right know I have a 2004 f150 5.4b for my sod installation business. I do a lot of driving to do estimates and meet people for work that I waste a shit ton of gas and that 5.4 is killing me but at the same time I need to occasionally place a pallet of sod in me truck bed or Maybe haul a dump trailer. Occasionally because my brother does most the hauling and me most the driving and estimates. Would this be enough for me?
Great review..Thanks for posting 👍🍻
appreciate this video
Great review thank you!
I have the GMC in this model. Love it
Great video really thinking about a 2022
Thx for the vid and info. Well done! Cheers!
What’s the gas fill up cost? Good mpg?
Thanks for the good review. :)
The video was shot four months ago, how about doing an update!!!
Good video, good job. Nice truck.
30 mpg on the highway? That is amazing! You are probably no more than 60 mph?
70 top speed when driving. Thanks.
I’m 20 and need something new and reliable. I was thinking about this as an option. I really hate to ask bc I know it’s rude but what is your payment like(if you have one) I apologize.
Payment depends on too many things, so you need to buy it and get yours.
J. Williams Your grandkids are going to be like "You say you paid UNDER MSRP? Stop fibbing grandpa! 4x list price is a bargain in 2050!" Literally I had to search around all week, calling dealers in 5 states to find the truck I wanted @MSRP .
Do you mind me asking how you got the truck in the low 30k? Do you have negotiating tips? Thanks
I have an employee discount, I don't work for GM. I have a family member that does. I paid $32000 thanks.
Great review
How much did you pay for the truck
Beautiful truck. I'm thinking of getting a 2015-2016. Some of the reviews I see don't praise the ride or seat quality. Now that you have had it a while what's your take on the seat comfort and ride quality?
It drives similar to a Silverado but less comfortable
just a heads up in case you haven't gotten one yet, when I was doing my research there were multiple accounts of the 15-16 models having transmission failures under 75k miles
@@NicholasStillman Wound up getting a 2015 GMC with the 6spd trans.🤞fingers crossed. Although the 6spds can give grief from what I hear and see the 8spd transmissions are almost a guarantee to have issues.
Mine has a glitchy rear camera. only works half the time.
I have 60k miles today from a 2017 colorado
nice looking truck
New oil change recommendations are crazy these days. Get that break in suspended metal drained out of there.
