🔧 BUILD New Daily Driver inbound - 2023 Glacier Blue Metallic Colorado ZR2

General Information

Was time for a new daily......so I opted for the refreshed 2023 Colorado as it checked all the right boxes for me.

The order has been placed with Biggers Chevy in Elgin....the order has not been accepted as of yet by GM due to constraints.

ZR2 in Glacier Blue Metallic.

Immediate plans will be:
1. Tint the front glass
2. Pick out some type of tonneau cover
3. Check into the side assist step aftermarket
4. Install stubby antenna so I can get it in the garage
5. Install fancy exhaust tip


Will update as things move along....this is what I ordered.

This thing on its way yet?
Well, let's update where we are, and how we got here.

I placed the order with Biggers Chevrolet on March 15 and was accepted by GM on 3/16.

I was originally given a TPW 4/17, which then turned into no TPW, then was changed to 5/8, then 5/22 and as of now 5/29.

I check in every Friday with the dealer for the update.....we'll see what they say this week.

Rumor has it, ZR2 production has finally started as of this week and production units are rolling down the line.

As of today, no ZR2 or AT4X are in any customers hands.

To say GM royally fucked up the rollout on this truck is a massive understatement.

Sounds typical of all new cars right now. BUT I'd be willing to say you'll have it by end of summer Aug/Sep. I wonder how many preorders they took in.
There's quite a few folks who have ZR2 and AT4X editions ordered.

Several have jumped off the wagon and I believe at the moment they are not accepting orders and have cancelled the desert Boss edition.

Definitely interesting times we're living in.

Moves an entire month lol. I've been researching heavily on these and the Canyons. Kind of a tough choice. I wonder if the canyons will have better luck on delivery's.
Unfortunately not.

It's a shitshow....the GMC equivalent of the ZR2 is the AT4X and it's having the exact same delays.

That's waaaaaay outta my price range. I'd be looking at a Elevation which fully loaded is about the same as the ZR2 less the suspension
I just checked, there's quite a few upscale things you can't get in the elevation that you get in the ZR2.

I was over 47K in my Elevation build....My ZR2 was a touch over 53K.
