Possibly looking for a new DD

[EmersonHart13]

Nissan trucks are not worth looking at, they are so far behind the curve....

I don't think anyone is saying don't look elsewhere? (Except Nissan) He should look at full size too,might make sense for him and pricing isn't that much different as people on this site point out constantly.

Depends on what one’s budget is and how new of a truck / desired miles

It’s a dinosaur but still works for some

Pewter-Camaro ragingclue syP did I miss any Colorado Bros?

I'd buy our Colorado again for sure.

Same. Wouldn’t hesitate to trade for a 2020 model. The 18+s get heated steering wheels. Go figure.

Fuck, wifey would love that.

I’ll be working on swapping the heated wheel and heated mirrors on my 17 in the summer or fall of this year. Just gotta get the wheel from a 15-17 Denali canyon with a 2 post airbag. The 18+ have a 3 post airbag making us 2017> guys having to purchase an expensive airbag. Heated mirrors bolt right on, apparently prewired from the factory. Just the WORK TRUCKS get it. Not the LTZ

Keep me in mind... I'm in for doing that.

I guess I never noticed the mirrors weren't heated? Lol

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I'd of course stick to the GM's.

But with that said, the Ranger actually hasn't been well received/reviewed by the press.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I kinda want to go test drive one with my Tacoma neighbor....

Chevrolet Colorado vs. Ford Ranger vs. Honda Ridgeline vs. Toyota Tacoma: Down on the Farm - Motor Trend

With the Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, Honda Ridgeline, and Toyota Tacoma on hand, I figured, why mimic work when we can actually do it?

I thought the heated wheel was '19+? I don't have it AFAIK. '19 is when the new infotainment came in too (I think they also got HD backup cam?), so there's that as well when looking used if it matters.

Word on the street is the shudder has been fixed for good on the 8 speed, so that's good if you're looking at a V6.

You should test drive a Ranger just because IMO. Not sure if the big ass discounts are still around, but they were finally pricing them attractively not too long ago.

I haven't gotten it since the latest fluid flush and formula change

24k miles on mine.. owned it since brand new.. havent had the shudder once yet. 8spd car. knock on wood

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

No shudder on mine but I tend to drive pretty aggressively. Mine has always been clunky shifting when it’s cold but once it gets just a little heat in it it’s fine.

I hear the diesel Colorado is junk....

OP was specifically looking at a V6 and nobody even mentioned the diesel. ?

I was just jabbing EmersonHart13

 

[EmersonHart13]

Buy the V6, its the way more funner engine and 17+ is revised for more goodness down the road.

PS Did you order your BISON yet?

 

[Yaj Yak]

g-lang has a bison out front.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I am shocked to say this. Wife saw a stock one in Galveston and didn't like the front end.... I was floored.

 

[Pro Stock John]

I sometimes kick around getting a new daily that can tow, diesel Colorado interests me the most. I like the Gladiator but I don't know that I could ever buy a new Jeep product.

 

[EmersonHart13]

IceCreamAssassin has been shopping diesel colorados

 

[Pro Stock John]

I like the feedback I read today on a diesel Colorado forum, sounds like they tow okay. Generally folks say if you are towing long distances, through mountains etc., get a bigger p/u. I'm just reading right now, though a p/u would help my desire to trailer my '67 to the track this year.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I have the V6 and it tows well for what I have done with it. Diesel wasn't an option for us (Extended Cab) and I likely would not have picked it anyway. The Gasser is a bit peppier to drive and we don't tow much and usually short trips on DD duty.

Those of us on the board said we'd all buy our Colorados again, I think there are 3 of us.

 

[Pro Stock John]

Good to know. I've literally never been in one. I'm a GM #1 kinda guy so while the Gladiator is interesting looking the last Wrangler I rented last year drove like junk and drank the gas.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I think the only way I could own a Wrangler or Gladiator is if the top was off atleast 50% of the time I was driving it. And also if I got a deal because they just cost too damn much.
