why does it only have 2 AC vents? Tacoma has 4.



I thought the same but I think there are two rectangular vents directly under the infotainment center. If that's the case, I don't like the mixed types circular/rectangular

frick another big-assed pickup truck with the high-set headlights blasting my car. Vast majority of the trucks aren’t even being used as trucks.
Is this the goat-roper status symbol now?

Nope. Do not like that configuration.

1700 lbs of payload....5.5' bed.

Apparently 90% of their sales were crew cab trucks with the shorter bed.

My 2015 Colorado has the long bed (6') and I had to shop pretty hard to find it. If they didn't sell long beds, its because they never stocked the dealers with them. I was not going to buy a truck with a 5' bed and won't next time either. Dropping the V6 is stupid too.

I guess I'll have to go back to a full size next time.

currently 2 years into a 2019 Colorado... no problems to deal with as of yet (knock on wood)

I enjoy driving my Colorado and probably enjoy driving this new model given the chance



I drove the current generation and loved it. It had way more power in the v-6 than I expected and drove and handled great. I regret not having upgraded a couple years ago from my 2011 Silverado. I really liked the body style also, this new one doesn't look as good but its not terrible.

I ordered a 1995 5.7L 2WD 1/2-ton Silverado back in 94 it had less HP/TQ than this configuration. I put well over 500k on that truck with a new level 2 Raptor transmission installed @ 245k.

I have a Duramax ZR2 and it is the best truck I have ever owned- and I beat the snot out of it.

Will definitely put the new ZR2 on my shortlist.

The only reason I am not 100% is because of the no diesel option- that put the cool factor over the top on the old ZR2- and it gets 28 mpg.

ETA- having a ZR2 is the equivalent of daily driving an air conditioned, 100 mph capable SxS. They jump unbelievably well, handle corners fantastically, and real front and back lockers make it laugh at your neighbor’s wife’s Wrangler.

They lost me when they quit offering a V8 after the first year.

I like the new look! I would definitely drive it.
But for the money, I would rather have my mid sized gladiator because it's more fun

Good looking pickup. I thought the prior model was still one of the best looking ones.

I'm not buying a Chevy though. Not with my money. To many horror stories.

Now I see this will have a trail boss edition and the finally redid the interior
