2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2

[Snkrjeff020]

I did the same thing. Almost bought a ZR2, but couldn't get past the dated interior.
For the new models, currently I'm leaning towards a ZR2 as I believe the Raptor will be overpriced, but I need to wait and see.
I'm still not 100% sold on the twins interior though. I do not like the yellow stitching on the ZR2 and I'm not a fan of the round dash vents. I much prefer the dash of the AT4x with the square~ish vents, but I hate the color choices they used. It's way to busy. Plus the AT4x is significantly more expensive than the ZR2.
I'm not buying until 2025, so at the moment, my plan is to get a ZR2 and replace the dash with the GM one, as they will be available at the wreckers by then.
But I'll probably change my mind 100 times before I buy, so who knows....

Yeah I agree. The ZR2 interior color is really the only thing I dislike about it.

The Colorado does have a more desirable face.

Front end of that Chevy looks like a Santa Cruz and Frontier mated to conceive it.

IDK that Ranger front end doesn't look much better.

Yep this would be me too & after a couple short term vehicles my next one has to be a decade long commitment so I’m feeling the pressure to evaluate carefully. I’m like you preferring the dash look in the GMC, but then I’m most interested in the Denali which doesn’t really have a Chevy equivalent.

I don't have time to count how many fake plastic boy racer styling gimmicks this things has.

The massive hood "power bulge" is funny too, considering that a 2.7 four cylinder is under there.

Yes, the fake stuff seems the norm. The car that bewildered me with fake things is the new Toyota Supra. Something like 10 air vents that do not do anything besides styling.

We all poke fun at fake styling, but at the end of the day, pretty sure that how a car looks, is one of the major reasons why someone chooses a car.

So, what were the major issues with the 5G Ranger and the Chevy.
The Colorado was with the Transmission, but Chevy has addressed that.
Shudder and vibration. The split drive shaft on the Ranger can sometimes cause vibrations.

How many V8 engines in 1/2 ton trucks make 430 lb/ft of torque?

Chevy styling (which is odd to admit considering their history) is spot-on in the last couple of years. They are nailing it. Unfortunately I swore years ago I'd never own a GM product ever again.

The Raptor did a similar race in the BAJA. It ran the whole race then was driven home.
