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

[sktchy]

This makes me wish I could do life with a mid size truck, except I'm too cheap to make payments and have to tow stuff.

Congrats man that'll be a sweet ride.

 

[The Beast]

As I configured it, $49,890.

Congrats

Congrats

That was pretty much the exact look I had on my face. ???

This next GEN truck interior looks crazy nice. Like GM somehow skipped a model cycle bringing it out.

I’m interested to see how the motor works out for you. I had a Silverado with it and was honestly impressed by it over the old V6.

I was honestly stunned to see 310/390 power numbers out of the 2.7.

I'm definitely getting the GM reflash to 310/430 as soon as it's available.

Everything I've researched on the engine has been pretty incredible.

For the price it'd better be epic. Our Z71 back in early '20 was $35K. She looks good though, GM has actually got a pretty good game in this market IMO.

 

[Pro Stock John]

I bet the truck with the upgraded will be pretty fast.

Just a quick thing on the price point.

This thing is literally loaded and then some....had I cut back on some stuff it would have been a few thousand less.

I splurged quite a bit.

We'll find out.

I'm planning on breaking it in, and making some dragy runs pre and post tune.

Should be interesting data to look over.

 

[Pro Stock John]

I bet 14.5 or better on dragy.

 

[Huggerorange73]

I bet 14.5 or better on dragy.

From what I understand, that 430 tune is geared specifically for low end grunt for rock climbing more than straight line performance.

 

[Pro Stock John]

The gen 3 has more torques than a gen 2. A gen 2 Z/71 would be around a 14.8-15.0 on Dragy.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

Gonna be so awesome!

I’d pay the 15k just for the cluster bro it’s worth every penny

Is this reflash through the dealer and warranty friendly?

Ever since watching the TFL truck vid on a basic Colorado I’m thinking maybe stop looking for a Ram Limited and grab one of these for house and tow track car things.

The flash is dealer performed and doesn't impact the warranty at all.

The only "catch" is you must order the turbo plus engine (which is stock on the higher trim levels).

It's definitely worth a look...it just fit perfectly for me and how I'm going to use it. Full size trucks and their even more eye popping price tags just didn't make sense.

I had a ram limited for a demo and they are bad ass. Such a nice, comfortable smooth ride. No way I’d buy a small pick up truck over a full size truck if money wasn’t an option.

They both serve a purpose.

Full size is always bad ass....but for some of us, mid size works better.

I have previously owned a Dodge Dakota, extended cab Silverado, Avalanche and a crew cab Silverado.

I also am realizing I have seriously bad automotive attention deficit disorder.

Deep dive into the Colorado's 2.7:

 

[EmersonHart13]

I hope they build it for you soon! I'd hate waiting but from what I've seen you might have to for a while. Ping me if you want to talk suspension options....

Enjoy!

 

[Huggerorange73]

Had GM points plus a 10% discount, so I got this for next to nothing.

Totally inspired by Mook latest purchase.

Deep dive into the Colorado's 2.7:

I've seen it, lots of really good information. I thought the water pump design was very well though out. The way the exhaust and turbo is designed is cool too.

 

[Dan00Hawk]

This and the Canyon version would be my go to if I wanted a pickup these days.
