One of the other U-Tubers said yesterday that they can’t publicly drive them till Friday. I agree I’m tired of everyone talking about them , Hey GM let the Journalist drive the already !!!

Todd is correct.

I find it hard to believe it’s fixed when I read about others with 22 and 23 Silverados still having issues with the 8 speed. Why wouldn’t gm put the “updated” version in all vehicles with the same 8 speed?

And you can get the sunroof with the Z71 and not the LT

With that thought, might as well do the ZR2 for just a little more.

I'm looking at the Z71 as well it's just a lot more expensive than I thought it was going to be.......

If you're pushing 50k on a 4 banger build, it's time to step up to full size and get a real engine. GM blew it just like Ford did w/Ranger. Way too expensive.

@@ethenjordan2010 ehhh my ZR2 build came out to $52k, and you lose the rear corner steps which makes bed access a pain in the ass on a higher up lifted truck.

My LT in harvest Bronze just arrived last week. I'm in love with the color and get compliments on it everywhere I go.

As neat a V8 would be in these things that 2.7L engine at least on paper seems to be on par with that engine and produces more torque. For instance the 5.3L in the Silverado is producing 355 hp and 383 ft-lb of torque, while the 2.7L turbo is producing 310 hp and 430 ft-lb of torque if you get it in the high output version. The LT and Trail Boss get the mid tier version which produces 310 hp and 390 ft-lb of torque.

The 2.7 probably does not make sense in the Silverado. But in this truck that weighs more then 500 lbs less its going to be a beast. Got more torque then the V8 anyways. And that is what matters most in truck applications.

The 2.7L has torque at low end of the RPM range, you get to peak torque faster, similar to the diesel experience. The 383 ft-lb. torque of the 5.3L V8 2021 peaks at 4100 RPM and falls off gradually (for the Chevrolet Suburban 5.3L V8 2WD). The 348 ft-lb. torque of the 2.7L Turbo I-4 2019 peaks at 1500 RPM and sustains through to 4000 RPM (Chevrolet Silverado 2019, similar GM L3B in the 2023 Colorado). The base 2.7L Turbo I-4 option performs similarly to the 5.3L V8 at the low RPM range. At 1500 RPM, the 5.3L V8 outputs 265 ft-lb. torque. At 1500 RPM, the Base 2023 2.7L outputs 259 ft-lb. torque. Edit: Just looked up the Colorado 2.7L Turbo I-4 torque specs are as follows: - 2.7L Turbo Base is 260 ft-lb. @1200-4000 RPM - 2.7L Turbo+ is 391 ft-lb. @2000 RPM - 2.7L Turbo High is 430 ft-lb. @3000RPM

@@AK-IT For the full size I'd probably go with the 6.2. At over 500 lbs lighter the 2.7T will likely be a good fit on the Colorado.

@@HiPlains1 Agreed. Larger truck gets larger engine. OP wanted larger engine in "smaller" truck, but I like what Chevy has done with the 2.7L in the Colorado. especially with getting torque where you can feel it. Im usually cruising around town at 1500 RPM, so you not only get to peak torque faster but you get it all the time up to 4000 RPM.

But you can probably get more value adding the options on the LT. At lease that was my experience on the build site.

@@HiPlains1 nope. you basically get 4x4 for free once you add all the convenience packages to the LT instead of getting a z71

Yes, it is on all models. No, I do not believe the plastic bucket under the seat is removable. It is the structure support for the back seat. Note that most models have the tailgate storage option.

It's gotten a little better. But yes, the door panels are still bad.

This is in CA, you're welcome :)

Probably not :/

@@UnBoxedAutos yeah, kind of thought so as well. Thanks.

If I get an invite aha... But if not, hopefully in a few months.

@@UnBoxedAutos Tomorrow several sites will have road test reviews. 2/17. That is when the embargo is lifted. Several of those reviews are probably already completed. They just can't release them yet.

yes, the LT only has cloth or Evotex seats.

Back seats fold up but not down

Not true

The ZR2 has the 11" cluster as well but no other trim levels

Actually, the 11" is available on higher trim levels of the Colorado also.

@@UnBoxedAutos no it isn’t. The 11” cluster is only available in the gmc canyon not the Colorado. I’ve already ordered a new Colorado and it’s waiting shipping so I know how they’re equipped.

@@coop4274 you know how yours is equiped but apparently not the others. the ZR2 has the 11" display. Right now you can't get a ZR2 so technically yes the 8" is the only size available. Also what Colorado trim did you get?
