In my opinion it’s the best looking and best value in the mid size class. Usually people only post when they have problems,nice to see happy owners for a change.
I was going to do the same thing but didn’t want to wait. This week a beautiful 24 Trail Boss came in and I jumped on it. Hope you get yours sooner than you think. 👍
All due respect; that doesn’t sound right. I have a ZR2 & my dealer sold to me at MSRP … order to deliver was 5 weeks. I’m in Northern California & multiple dealers offered to order & guarantee sell at zero markup.
Having been a Chevy technician, you don’t want LED headlights. Instead of 50-100 bucks for bulbs. You’ll have to fork over 1000$+ for the whole assembly.
If your Apple car play disconnects hold down the Hang up bottom on the steering wheel for 10 seconds it will reset and guarantee re connect your Apple car play
Earned a sub! I saw the background was Florida, but then I saw it was Sable Palm! I live less than 5 minutes from there and it’s one of my favorite areas. I’m in the market for a Colorado.
I liked commented and subbed and hit that bell ! Looking forward to more 3rd gen content I love it ! Honestly man I think your first video blows my first video out of the water 😂 Keepem comin !
2 things, we live in Zephyrhills Florida, ride our atv up in Ocala national forest, I have a 2022 colorado 2wd, had a 2016 Silverado z71 off road, constant transmission issues, I don't need 4x4, I am liking my v6 colorado a lot
@rossoverland yup, my Silverado had that annoying cylinder deactivation bullshit, my colorado has some pep, I do wish it was 4x4 at times so we can go into the forest more like we used to, but oh well, we just park at the trail head and off load our atv there and go exploring, be safe, and I like your truck
@@woofman4796 we’ve been to ONF several times with the truck, some super fun trails and camping out there. But honestly if you don’t want pinstripes, you’ll have more fun on an ATV lol. Thanks man!
Terrain mode is awesome. Single pedal works great. Hill decent is picky in my experience. Great when it works, sometimes it’ll break hard out of nowhere.
I have tested it out in my driveway lol, but actually using it on an obstacle or over terrain where you need utmost control seems like it would be great.
Thanks! a.co/d/96Bhg3G there’s the link to the bedrack I am using it works but not 100% for the 3rd gen. Additionally it’s a little tight. I would check out Xtrusion overland. xtrusion-overland.com/
Nice video! I have a 2024 Z71 that I’ve had about a month that I am really happy with. What is the mount system you have in there that holds your phone and radio? I’m looking to get a nice portable HAM radio in my truck.
Thanks man! Check out www.bulletpointmountingsolutions.com/products/rubigrid-2023-chevrolet-colorado-gmc-canyon-dash-mount-phone-holder for the mounting bracket, you can pretty much add anything you want to it.
Really enjoying my Colorado, which is my 4th (if I count an old S-10). I’m averaging 15mpg on 35” tires, but that’s a self induced issue with each tire weighing-in at 70 lbs.
What trim did you have in the 2nd gen? Did you enjoy your experience? Debating on getting a 2nd gen ..depending on how much cheaper they are compared to the 3rd gen trucks. Prices are F'in nuts these days.
I had a great experience with my 2nd gen. No issues I had a 2018 Z71, traded it in at 80,000 miles. It had the V6, I absolutely gave that motor its run for the money. If I were buying one today and you wanted to do the offroad stuff. You can get a 2nd gen ZR2 at a great price.
It sucks that LED headlights aren't standard for the price of the truck. Then again, we had a Honda with LED headlights and they died after a coupleyears and were a couple grand to replace. I haven't heard of GM LED headlights failing prematurely, but it's always something to consider. Halogens suck but are cheap to replace. I think they held back on features in the Trailboss in order to try to push people into the ZR2.
Their are two recalls the one you were talking about and something to do with the injectors, you better check again, I got the injector reprogrammed and still waiting for their phone call to get the one your talking about done!
I have debated this for quite some time now. My main reasoning is this. I live in south Florida, so i will rarely get to use the ZR2 to its full offroad potential. Additionally, this is my daily driver, my work truck, and my overlander, I don't wanna bang up that nice interior and really i don't need it. For what the trail boss has to offer, it is perfect for my needs and the type of terrain we have. I will mainly be doing some minor stuff to the truck, protection, recovery gear, good tires, and camping gear.
I think the REAL locker instead of the G80 should be available as an upgrade, but keep the front locker for just the ZR2 and the ZR2 Bison. I just picked my blue, loaded (with sunroof) ZR2 today. Can't wait to put some miles on it and get it durty!
@@hochhaul Yes it physically DOES lock unlike an LSD, only WHEN it detects a difference in rotational speed...in one direction (doesn't work in reverse as far as I know), but as soon as you back out of the throttle, it UNlocks again. NOT good if you're climbing, long, steep, stepped slopes like I did Monday in Moab. I still think it's not a "real" locker as I and other people think of them, and still think it should be an option on the Trail Boss.
Thanks! Gonna get a Chevy Colorado either 2024 or 2025! 🔥
Nice vid. I like your review. I have had one about a month and it’s been my favorite truck I’ve ever had.
In my opinion it’s the best looking and best value in the mid size class. Usually people only post when they have problems,nice to see happy owners for a change.
Thanks man
It’s amazing idk if I have trailer package but I have turbo plus on white work truck it’s a sleep the guy told me once I bought it lol he was crazy
Your candid review is highly appreciated , thank you sir ! 👍
Good to hear I put a order In on a 2024 zr2 a week a go now I need to wait 4 to 6 months
I was going to do the same thing but didn’t want to wait. This week a beautiful 24 Trail Boss came in and I jumped on it. Hope you get yours sooner than you think. 👍

Great video broski, can't wait to see the overlanding in the future!
Thank you sir!

Congrats on the first of many videos on your new channel! Looking forward to the next one.
Keep it up dude!! Awesome job with these videos!!!!
I’m picking my 24 Colorado TB late next week, wheels have not arrived yet. Kinda funny that the wheels on it are for delivery only.
If your Apple car play disconnects hold down the Hang up bottom on the steering wheel for 10 seconds it will reset and guarantee re connect your Apple car play
Thanks man, gonna have to try that!
Yep, works like a charm.
Great video. Mine is currently on order waiting to be built.
Thanks man! Hope you enjoy yours as much as i do!

Great truck man, I’m very pleased with it so far! I’m in the Naples area as well, let me know if you wanna go out there!
@@rossoverland I gave you a follow on IG also! I get out to Sable and the south blocks about once a month, but we ride it on our mountain bikes :P
I liked commented and subbed and hit that bell ! Looking forward to more 3rd gen content I love it ! Honestly man I think your first video blows my first video out of the water 😂 Keepem comin !

Very good review.
Thanks!
Nice truck
Thanks man, your truck is awesome aswell. Let me know next time you're out wheeling!

I had a 2018 Z71 offroad Colorado, loved the V6 Colorado. No issues, great throttle response.

I think you can only get the inverter with the LT, Z71 or ZR2
Great video! Do you have the name or link for the bed rack? I've been trying to decide on one for months!

Nice man, which trim are you running the 35's on?
what tires?
Did you have separation issues with the trim piece right below the window where the hinge for the hood is located?
One side of mine separated, I’m gonna get those red line hood struts!
Yes, i haven't heard any additional noise coming from that area thought like some people have reported. I have double side taped the piece down.
@@rossoverland I believe there is a TSB and replacement part to address that. You may want to look into that.

I think they held back on features in the Trailboss in order to try to push people into the ZR2.
Totally agree
Have a TB and swapped the halogens for LEDs.
Bro I have a trail boss too! can we go to picayune together! I want to start overloading. I don't know what I'm doing.
Quick question is it good on gas
I get anywhere from 16-19 In the city and 19-25 on the highway
Their are two recalls the one you were talking about and something to do with the injectors, you better check again, I got the injector reprogrammed and still waiting for their phone call to get the one your talking about done!
Brought it in last week to get the camera re flashed, mentioned the injector issue, they said my unit was not affected. We will see!
THE 2024 TRAIL BOSS COMES STANDARD WITH 430 TORQUE NO ADDITIONAL COST OR PACKAGES. ALL 2024 TRAIL BOSS COLORADOS HAVE 430 TORQUE
Correct, the 2024 models get rid of the Turbo Plus option and come standard with the H.O. tune. They also come with a larger dash screen.
By the time you pay for all those upgrades couldn’t you have just gone for the zr2?
I have debated this for quite some time now. My main reasoning is this. I live in south Florida, so i will rarely get to use the ZR2 to its full offroad potential. Additionally, this is my daily driver, my work truck, and my overlander, I don't wanna bang up that nice interior and really i don't need it.

Trail Boss looks better than the 2r2 imo but wish they had better package on trail boss, want Leather
I think the REAL locker instead of the G80 should be available as an upgrade, but keep the front locker for just the ZR2 and the ZR2 Bison. I just picked my blue, loaded (with sunroof) ZR2 today. Can't wait to put some miles on it and get it durty!
Could not agree more
The G80 is a real locker. It's just not a selectable locker. It isn't a limited slip as some people insist it is.
@@hochhaul Yes it physically DOES lock unlike an LSD, only WHEN it detects a difference in rotational speed...in one direction (doesn't work in reverse as far as I know), but as soon as you back out of the throttle, it UNlocks again. NOT good if you're climbing, long, steep, stepped slopes like I did Monday in Moab.
