It's a great truck!

When I was shopping around, it was between this and a white AT4. Both sweet!

I did a lot of research myself too! I test drove the Colorado and Ranger, but not the Tacoma. The Ranger felt cheaply made, the Colorado is beefier and no, I had zero issues with the transmission. Very solid truck!

@@BuildwithBrian I am a Ford fan. Have 195,000 on my 2007 Mustang. I am also a 6 or 8 cylinder fan. The thing I did not like on the Ranger is that its a 4 cylinder. Seems like its true the 4 cylinders are more powerful now days then in the past. That is not enough for me to buy a 4 cylinder. Not to mention with these new turbo 4 cylinders heard and read lots of people are having problems with them. And not to mention lots of the Ranger's now days has those dam radio knob shifters to put truck in R or N or D. Then I would want the traditional shifter. For me would say that Colorado had the best ride, the Ranger and Tacoma were about the same ride, not offal but not the best . But also test driven the Nissan Frontier and to me it was the worse one for the ride. Even steering it was not very good. So the Nissan is for sure out like the Ranger.

You should be getting much better gas mileage... try toggling through your displays on the dash and get to where it shows the fuel mileage in real time and see what it does as you are driving. It will make a huge difference in the way you punch it out of a red light or get on it when you hit the freeway. If it's city driving, then yes, you will see a lower mpg (around 15 - 17). It could just be the way you drive. Secondly, most of the time you will see the V6 lit up, I very rarely ever saw the V4 come on unless I was in town less than 25 mph, and still then, it rarely lit up. I was concerned about that myself, but every now and then, it came on. I bet your truck looks sweet! I originally wanted white myself, but this was the only one available on the lot at the time. Keep me posted!

It doesn't have the chip for the DOD

Not at all, they were nearly silent. Brings up something I forgot to point out though... the Colorado was very stiff, you could feel every little bump in the road. I have a Silverado now, and it is a much smoother ride, not that I was annoyed with the Colorado, just making a comparison. Thanks for watching!

I had these duratracs on Silverado. Rotated at every oil change. They cupped and the tread shaved down fast..like 25-30k fast..they look good but are junk.

No, but now I got the Silverado 6.2L, that will blow your mind. 420hp stock. Don't test drive one, you will want to trade in your Colorado 😆

@@BuildwithBrian have the 6.2 now n thinking about going back to the colorado

@@BuildwithBrian I’ve driven a Sierra with the 6.2 and it wasn’t any quicker than my 22’ Canyon 2WD. VERY nice truck though and definitely much nicer interior than in my truck, but it didn’t handle anywhere near as well as the Canyon and acceleration wasn’t any better. Gas mileage was also a no contest

My 6.2 squaks the tires as it shifts into 2nd, it's got mad torque and acceleration, it would spank any midsize in low, mid and high speed, gas mileage is around 16 when i drive it like i stole it (which is most of the time0 but when i baby it, i realistically get more like 18 to 20... the best i got (that is still on the dash) is 26 mpg. Nice truck, it's a keeper for me, however, I do have a small oil leak on the pan, probably from the abuse lol

chip shortage?

@@BuildwithBrian I was wrong, mine went in V4 for the first time at 800 miles.i was going down a slight hill with very little throttle for maybe 3-4 seconds....just to let you know👍

Yeah, I never really paid much attention until you pointed that out. I have a 6.2L Silverado now, and I like how they put the 6.2L on the hood, it's pretty slick

I think the 4x4 knob is in a bad spot too... I hit it with my knee by accident a couple times

Hey Jon! Yeah, I loved that truck too! The interior colors are actually gray. The lighter gray does have a blueish look to it, but the camera makes it look more blue. In person, it's more gray, and it matches the seat trim. I personally liked the interior colors, but I know everyone has their own preference and taste. I found the interior to be much more luxurious, detailed and robust compared to the Ranger, plus it felt better built (more solid, heavier glass and doors). Thanks for watching!

All 2021-22 GMC Canyon versions of this truck, from the Elevation trim level and up come STANDARD with the black out package, and the interiors are actually all black, unlike the Colorado, with white stitching everywhere including in the soft touch leather trim dash, which is also black. Of course, you’re gonna pay a bit more for the “premium” GMC twin, Lol

I upgraded to a 6.2L Silverado. Best truck I've ever driven! I will have to do a review video in the spring / summer
