Sorry for the troubles. I have an 18 and have had zero issues. And I abuse the hell out of mine. Moab, Colorado mountains, sand dunes, etc.

This guys is under rated ! Where’s the hundreds of thousands of views he deserves

60K miles on my ZR2 diesel including a bunch of hard wheeling, zero issues from mine. I haven't even run a sway bar for the last 25K miles and have Eibach 1.25" leveling springs, no diff drop and I haven't had a single tie rod or CV issue. I abuse mine off-road and daily it, it's been a fantastic truck. I did the 589 Fab shock relocation, it's easy and not very expensive. The factory rear shock location is definitely trash. As far as the seats, I do 14 hour drives and the seats are fine for me.

80k miles on my 2017 ZR2 and it’s been nothing but a great truck

Just bought one,a 2022. I'll be checking on all these things you talk about. Thanx for the video. Have a good one.

Great rundown of things to be aware of. I've got a ZR2 and love it, there's not another mid-sized truck I'd consider and full size are too big for where I go. The only issue I've had relates to wiring behind the parking break. I used to mash the parking break and it rubbed through the wires. So wiring seems to be a general issue. I'm going to go crawl under mine and check the one you show in the video. Always carry extra fuses and watch out for the smaller ones in these trucks. I don't treat mine as a pavement princess but at least 10k miles of off road so far.

How did the tie rod bend “right in the driveway” was it fricken magic. I have a 2020 and it’s been great

If you could pick a midsize truck to drive in general what mode size would you buy? I also drive long distances. Thank you

Well... I have a 2019 ZR2 with the "Baby Max" and it has 70,000 plus. I have had none of these issues and get 25 plus average mileage with the best ever at 50 mpg. I've run through mud, sand, snow, ice, off road, fully locked in and just the rear diff locked in. 2 weeks ago I hauled a 20 foot trailer taking hay to my mothers house. 3 loads at 6500 pounds average each load, no issues. I've driven loads ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand pounds to Missouri 3 times and Colorado 4 times. I've spent 15 plus hours in the driver seat on multiple occasions (I'm 310 pounds) and while it wasn't a recliner I didn't suffer. I've heard tons of complaints from Colorado owners and while valid I can confidently say I have had none of these issues at all. The only problem was those LOUD mud tires but we swapped them out. Our Colorado has been amazing and has never let us down in over 70,000 miles. If this truck is used for it's intended purpose and within it's capabilities it should have no problems serving your needs. But, if you choose to take it outside of it's intended use or capabilities it's safe to assume there may arise some problems. Not complaining, not accusing anyone of anything, but after over 40 years of being a mechanic I have seen the most horrific damage done to vehicles because said vehicle was abused outside of it's ability, and the operator always seemed to have an excuse as to why they used it that way when the owners manual clearly tells them it cannot do that and the warranty will be voided if so. Just throwing this out there, before you choose to complain about a vehicle make sure you aren't the reason for the complaint and that the causes of the problems aren't your use or abuse of said vehicle. Remember I'm speaking from a place of being an owner of this same truck that been used HARD, but within it's abilities. This truck isn't perfect, but can be broken if used improperly, like any other vehicle. Just my 2 cents.

I am sure glad I seen this. I was getting ready to trade in my TRD Sport because this thing had front & Rear Lockers versus spending the money on lockers for mine and suspension. I’ve owned Toyotas forever and I was getting ready to trade in for one of these. You probably just saved me a big headache!!!!

Very informative video, brother! Thanks!

Thanks for an honest review! I have been thinking about getting a GMC Canyon Crew Cab with the 2.8L diesel when it gets closer for my daughter to start driving. I had planned to let her drive my Honda Pilot and for me to drive the GMC Canyon. I am disappointed in the shock mount position and the CV joint life. I have over 150K on my Pilot and only had one warranty claim with a factory defect in the front hubs. That was within the first year of ownership and it's been trouble free ever since. It's a 2013 so, for over 9 years with only general maintenance I can't complain. Gravel is tough on blasting the underneath of a truck. My 1988 GMC was a testament of that before we had as many paved roads were I use to live. I had to keep it recoated on the frame each year to prevent rust when we went to the beach. I will keep my eye on the things you listed to see if they improve them before it's time for me to buy a new truck. Thanks again for the heads up!

Good feedback, GM should take notice!!!

did you mod the truck to protect harness? just looked under my truck and was surprised that it's so exposed. looking for tubing to cover exposed wires.

Not a zr2 but I have a GMC canyon and freaking love it! Aside from terrible ground clearance in stock form, it has done everything I have asked it to do! And it does it easily!

Your lawn is amazing, nice job

Dude, think yours might have been built on a Monday...have a '20 ZR2 diesel with 34k km on it and so far so good and it's been off-roading a few times on trails I wouldn't take say a Denali version on. With the diesel, I regularly get 800km out of the 80 liter tank too. Once with 80% highway...got 920 km out of it. But your replacement...we have a 3L Duramax here at work to, very nice truck, you will like it! Cheers and happy trucking!

Thanks for the video now I know what to watch out for on my truck and maintenance it and put a shield for the wiring harness

This was very informative, it would be interesting to see if other midsized trucks would have similar or different problems if they were used in similar daily working environments.

I have a 2021 zr2 and absolutely love it

Ive got a 2WD 2016 Colorado and its been rock solid. I towed 10,000 Lbs from CA to PA and back with no issues. I thought about upgrading to a ZR2, but I honestly have no need for all the offroad stuff. Sucks you had so much trouble with this one.

I tend to think the author has been extremely hard on this truck but one thing I can agree with is the seats and long distances. I can’t stand to drive more than 2 hours before I have to get out and stretch. I have bought a memory foam seat cushion which helps. I heard the 2023 has improved the seats so I am looking forward to trading in my 2022 when the new one comes out. I will say I’ve owned 3 of the current colorado, 2016, 2019 and 2022 all z71 and they haven’t given me any trouble.

Thanks for the heads up, I was just about to purchase one here in Ontario.....

How would you cv axle cause your tie rod to bend??

It doesn't matter what truck you buy, if you drive something off the lot and want it for the work you do, you are going to be looking at modifications to make that happen and have the truck last. I get that some of that is out of your control (like the rear shock placement and CV boots), but there are easy corrections out there like a number of aftermarket shock skids, shock re-location mounts, and full skid plate protection from the front bumper to the gas tank (if you didn't want to fab them up yourself), and better aftermarket CV boots. The Duratracs are P rated, and honestly, a decent tire for the road where 98% of the buyers are going to take this truck for 95% of their driving. Driving oil patch, logging roads and cut lines, the duratracs are good enough to get you to the tire shop to get proper tires...The 8 speed auto has known issues and factory recalls. If you were to replace this with another mid-sized truck for the same tasks you put your trucks to, you would probably have the same or similar issues, especially if you didn't mod it to suit your work.

Some interesting points raised, though if we are being honest, the oil/gas industry is hard on every kind of vehicle.

Sorry to hear of your woes. I have 31k on mine and it has been utterly flawless. Maybe you just got a bad deal or it was part of a bad production run. I have asked around and nobody I spoke with has heard of, let alone had any of the issues you listed. No, the MPG isn't very impressive, and sure, they could have put some super supportive buckets in the truck, but then again, it's a midsized truck,. Hope you're happy with your new truck.

Thanks for the video was looking for a truck for the oilfield and was thinking ZR2 for the same reasons you stated. What year is your truck ?

Sorry to hear the troubles, I own a 2019 Zr2. I agree the shock hangers is a joke. That's the first thing ivw done is relocate the shock to the others side of the leaf spring and remove the spare tire.

Thank you for the info Sir. Glad I watched your video 👏

Factory tires generally are made with a different rubber compound specified by the car manufacturer. They are made to be softer and quieter to have more mass appeal for customer test drives.

Very informative, Thank you

Traded my used "17 ZR2 x cab in on a "21 two door Rubicon this past summer... I loved my ZR2, and while I didn't have quite the number of problems that you had with yours, I definitely had to replace one of my rear shocks which I did myself since those are easy to do. I put the Bison rear diff skid plate on and put on aftermarket shock skids too. Did the trans flush for the shudder issue as well. I put leveling springs on the front and new bump stops and put on E rated BFG's 33's and did the Trifecta tune which really gave the V6 a really great throttle response. The issue that got me to trade it in was that I had a bearing in the rear diff go out with a fairly loud whine. One shop wanted to replace the whole diff for over $3K (but none were available from GM) and another shop had to close down unexpectedly so they couldn't do the work. So I drove it to a Jeep dealership and got me a new Rubicon. One of the other issues that was becoming known about these trucks was that there is an aluminum(?) part in the rear diff that wears down and turns the diff fluid to a silverish gray color. I think the idea was that the aluminum part would take the beating instead of the gears. I don't know but mine was definitely the dark gray color. I'm sure the E rated 33's didn't help me either and might have contributed to the bearing going out. I bought the ZR2 used at 50K on the clock and traded it in at just under 100K miles. I never had a single check engine light or any electrical issues out of that truck though, and at the time, I was getting ready to upgrade the CV boots to aftermarket ones and had aftermarket tie rod sleeves (which I then had been debating with myself about maybe not putting on after all)... I wanted that truck to be around a while and get some good use out of it, but I wasn't able to get that diff issue resolved and truthfully, a truck like that should not have had that issue. Not for the money we pay for these things nowadays. I try to keep in mind that this truck was never designed to be a real off-roader. What I mean is, the engineers at GM took their existing basic Colorado pickup design and tinkered with it and added stuff to it to make the ZR2... Yes racing development played into it a bit, but it wasn't built from the ground up to be a real off road vehicle like a Jeep Wrangler or the new Bronco. Hence the rear shock placement that they never corrected from the original design in order to make the ZR2 a real off road vehicle. Just my two cents. Good video. High five.

Thank you for this very informative commentary

Bought my 2019 brand new with 0 miles on it. It still had to be completely put together. Has 34k miles on it now and haven't had any issues with it

I want one of these - they look sharp- but after looking around Ive seen them under 110k miles and the interior is falling apart with the dash controls wore out looking. Thats an automatic no go! I have a 2008 infiniti FX45 with 193k miles and the drivers seat is the only seat showing some wear and tear. Changed out the radiator, alternator, front shocks, and head cover gasket over the last 13 years Ive had it ( bought it like new @ 62k miles in 2012) but runs like a champ. Im definitely passing after watching this! Thanx for your humble opinion!

Thanks 🙏 for sharing your thoughts and experience with this truck. I have wanted one ever since they came out in 16 as a 17. It solved some of the issues that I had with the Colorado Z71 that is marketed as an off road package with improved shocks and under body armor. Mainly it took away the horrible 5-6 inch air dam which improved the approach tremendously. Also has a small lift and wider stance. I have sold a few of them when I was a car salesman back in 16 and 17. I definitely agree with you on the flaws, the DSSV shocks hang way too low and there needing to be more protection for certain parts, a better more well placed spare tire so that it doesn’t hang down too low, etc… I never got to drive them long enough to feel if it was uncomfortable or not as far as the seats go. I am actually looking to get my first truck 🛻 so that I can go places to hunt 🏹🦌🦃, fish 🎣, camp 🏕 and kayak that I can’t get to in my 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. Plus use it for basic truck stuff including a little hauling and towing for when my wife, my step son and I move into a house eventually. So projects like gardening and other things will be on the list and it would be nice to have something to do all that with and not have to ask family or rent a U Haul. I have looked at those and some other mid size trucks 🛻 as well as some light duty crew cab trucks to use for all the above and to roll in with my family.

Thank you for this OUTSTANDING REVIEW. I WAS CONSIDERING BUYING THIS TRUCK. NOT NOW. YOU SAVED ME MONEY AND ENDLESS HEADACHES. THANKS AGAIN

That lawn looks perfect!😂

I was glancing at this truck but had been hearing a few things, enough negatives for me to go for the Ranger Tremor. Hopefully your next truck serves you better .

Some real dumbells commenting here. Appreciate you sharing this. I’m a Detroit union carpenter., was looking around for one. not now. Thanks for the info.

The thing with that particular truck along with the new Ranger..theyre global platforms that were originally for the European and Asian markets..they've brought them over to the US and made minor changes but imho not enough.

Very informative. Thanks.

I LOVE my ZR2, but you are correct, they have issues!!

I hate a problem child vehicle. Wheeling etc. I expect to break things (to a reasonable extent) but constant issues = get rid of it. I am doing the same thing on a vehicle of my own and getting another Toyota. Question:You obviously know your way around vehicles. Why would you take the Truck to the dealer for a $1,400 shock replacement or anything other than warranty work? Does working on it yourself potentially void the warranty?

Thanks I was thinking of buying 1

Very helpful, thanks a lot !

Had a 2017 ZR2 and at about 8K miles had front passenger CV boot changed at dealer due to pin hole leak from factory. Truck had never been off-road. If you tow a trailer, be mindful of the 5K pound limit on the ZR2 2017 to 2022. Pulling too much may screw up those DSSV shocks.

Mine has almost 50k on it. Check engine light came on...probably misfire due to the way its driving. Transmission is shit. The paint rubs off the rocker guards, trim around rear window is lifting. I keep it clean. Love the way the truck looks...but ready to get rid of it.

Your complaints are very valid and it sounds like Chevy fixed them in the newer models... especially the shock placement.

Weird. I know a few dude that have been running ZR2s in the oilfield here and they absolutely love it with minimal issues.

My cv boot failed at 5000 km with zero offroading, the hood scoop is chipping the hood paint, mechanic said oh gm has let that happen for the last 4 years from factory…well known issue. The alignment has always seemed a little off on it even after an alignment, the rear shocks seem like they are leaking, glass has scratches on it. The transmission has a very odd shifting feel to it compared to any other vehicle I have owned….only have 15,000 km on it so far and looking to trade it in for something else before a bunch of other stuff happens. Its a 2021 zr2, thought they would have the original issues worked out, but was told they didn’t really fix many of them.

Thanks for the video

HAD a '17 Colorado with the 8 speed automatic. Transmission was junk. Torque converter at 10k miles, shuttering again at 13k miles. Fluid flushed and sold!!!

I've been a Toyota guy forever but thought about getting a ZR2 diesel over another Tacoma. Boy am I glad I watched this. Those shock hangers are enough to walk away, what are thinking!?

Best purpose offroad truck built today. Excellent truck 40k miles on my 19 zero issues and I offroad all the time. Your truck was user error

Been pretty hard on my 2019 Colorado ZR2. Cutting firewood in the woods, hunting and fishing trips, and just some general off-road use. Had her in places nobody else would bring their trucks and she's still holding strong after 60k miles. Sure a couple minor issues, but this has been a great rig for me overall, doing work that no other stock truck would do for me. If you're in 4WD too much on hard ground, that'll tear your axles and suspension apart. Could of been part of your problem perhaps...

Thanks!

I have a 2019 Bison 3.6 V-6 and everything works like new. 28,800 miles. I take into Ocala National Forest regularly.

Just to add a little food for thought to this.. I have a 1988 Dakota, which also is a 4x4 with independent front suspension, and a boxed frame. I raised the front of the truck 2.5 inches which increases the angle of the CV-Axles (anyone who knows CV's should know this is a deathwish for them lol, needless to say my first OEM set, the boots tore off around 200,000 miles I just kept driving it anyway and sprayed lithium grease in the bearings every once in a while... Mudded the truck, ran down dirt roads, went up and down dirt bike trails no issue, I then noticed they were loose around 350,000 miles and replaced them, which was super easy if I remember right 5 or 6 bolts on each side, then 1 large nut that secured them to the wheel bearing assembly. And I believe they were just over 120 bucks each. Truck is now somewhere around 450,000 miles still has the stock engine/trans, rear axle and suspension are still in it never failed me yet. Just wanted to give that context, of an American made truck from the 1980's Vs whatever this thing is, in the video. I still daily drive this every winter in the salt belt of the northeast, because it gets 22mpg around town with the 5 speed manual and big old L.A. 239.9 cui V6.🤠 edit: I forgot to mention it was a plow truck from 1988 - 2012 til the snow plow rotted in half, but the truck didn't so the truck turned into a daily commuter and the plow turned into 20 bucks for gas. They do not build them like they used to.

I have a 2021 ZR2 that I have 81246 miles on. Some of the things you mentioned don't make sense. I have driven all over northern Arizona on some incredibly difficult off-road trails. Most of my miles are on job-sites and around ready-mix plants. Never once have I ruined a tire. To touch on a few things, shocks do suck the way they are hanging down. However 589 fabrication has guards for them. Never have I replaced the plastic guards. The tie rod end have guards also. Common problem with a IFS. The seats are okay but not perfect I agree, beats a milk crate. I wheel with a lot of different kinds of vehicles and they all have their downfalls. The factory puts the tires they do on for weight and comfort. If you want an all out four wheel drive them build itthe way you want. I feel this truck is one of the most capable trucks specially for the money. The wires you talked about with the transfer case are open at the plug from the factory. They are not in any way getting peppered with rock. Not sure what issue you had with cv boots but as I stated I have over 50,000 miles and still have the original pair. You should buy a unimog is what it sounds like.

I respect honest reviews & no excuse for GM here. It does seem like you’d be better served by a Jeep Gladiator (solid axles) or perhaps just a full-size truck. I have a ZR2 & also a Jeep JLU; they’re very different in ride quality with the Jeep being more capable on rutted trails, but the ZR2 is a better road trip vehicle … smooth & comfortable, albeit with a simplistic interior. My wife’s F-150 is horrible off-road, but that’s because it’s on stock suspension.

Im in Alberta right now trying to make a deal on zr2 diesel and now you're scaring me lol i am second guessing my decision lol thanks for the heads up. im in Edmonton area could you give me a town or city for the dealership you have the bad warranty experience with ?

I had the alternator fail on a 2017 colorado i owned just 20K miles in. Had the “100,000mi warranty” and chevy said it wasn’t covered and gave a bunch of sly sneaky verbiage to justify their laziness. Honestly, the colorados the coolest looking truck on the market there’s no question at all but it’s the absolute worst built truck known to mankind. i’ve never met a colorado owner that didn’t have problems starting 10K miles in.

gravel got into the broken c v boot which you can see it troughs the grease in the wheel wells when torn

I was thinking about a 2022 ZR2 w/ diesel, but not now!

Sorry to hear you had all those troubles. Why did you keep the 4 ply tires and then compare them to 10 ply? Why not buy shock skids for the shock hangers? Also, some mud flaps would probably have helped with the gravel. Also, it's not 1,400 to change a shock. That's dealer price. You can get the shocks from rock auto for much less and change them yourself.

My 08 silverado 1500 had 267000 on it. Almost no problems. I've always had chevy and was looking at the ZR2. Not sure now. But I wouldn't be using it as hard as you were. 50k is a lot for a truck with a hanging wire harness exposed to rocks.

Sounds like you got a lemon, unfortunately. Probably built on a Friday afternoon. I know GM has addressed the low hanging shock mounts for the next gen ZR2. I have heard Multimatic is working on making these shocks more durable and rebuildable. Hope you like your new truck.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.

I'd pay money to see someone getting stuck from the spare being behind and above the rear diff.

I agree with you 💯

I’m guessing based on you saying you’re in Canada, work oilfield, and are 14 hours from BC you’re likely working in Alberta/Sask and I know how demanding that industry can be on your trucks. I think right from the start a smaller truck like this isn’t cut out for such heavy duty workload. Working oil and gas you need a 1500 minimum ideally a 2500/3500. I think the Colorado is better suited as a daily commuter with some light workload sprinkled in. I’m thinking of getting one with the Duramax just as a daily commuter but like the fuel economy of diesel and would like ability to pull a small RV or horse trailer. I’ve had such bad experiences with gasoline trucks (08 Sierra that was such a lemon as just one example) that I’ll only consider diesel at this point.

20 years ago they didn't bother to make the steering strong enough for the ZR2 package. I got mine fixed under warranty, it wore out again in a few months, traded it back in. I guess they are still letting the customer be the R&D team.

LOVE my ZR2

Thank you for helping would be buyers decide. The dealer will say anything.

I just watched this same video but it was about a Ford, no, a Toyo, or was it a Dodge, I remember, it was a Jeep.

Good video . I know you like Chevy, I used to be a Chevy guy too. I got tired of constant problems and started buying Toyotas. I'm very happy with the Toyota quality and feel they are superior. Try something other than Chevy and you may have good experience.

I watched your video though blaaa he had some bad luck so I went a head and bought a chevrolet colorado zr2 1st computer problems lose wires then transmission let go with no parts in north America this truck has less than 5000 km on it so now it sits at the dealership and they gave me a Kia reo as a rental

The seats in the ZR2 Blazers/pick-ups were terrible also. And the front suspension components were crap. Fuel mileage was better in the 1/2 ton pick-ups but that was mostly because they had 3.73 rear diffs.

Pros - good looking truck Cons - the entire truck Thank God I watched this video!! I had my eye on the same truck and I was about to go for it this weekend....not no more. Some engineers they have at Chevy.....smh!

I have a canyon diesel I use on the farm . 80% gravel roads use and by 55k that harness you showed was near eaten through on mine as well. 😡

Sounds like you just got a lemon, mine has been flawless with hard off roading. I did put 10 ply duratracs on and shock skids though. V6 fuel is brutal, thankfully I drive the diesel and the bison so no plastic!

Wow-------My wife and I bought a 2018 ZR 2 2.8 Diesel (January). The tires that came on it worked great in the snow and mud, But they made so much noise on the highway we had to change them. Here in northern Nevada a 4X4 is a must. Our diesel is getting us about 30mph gallon to 35 mph. (empty). Our truck tows our feather lit car trailer when we go logging. (for fire wood). pulls our trailer with no problem. We have blown tires on our trailer for being over loaded, with 50 lbs air.(my fault). I fell really bad for your problems with your ZR 2. (lemon ?)

Ouch sorry to hear you had a bad experience. The shocks hanging low need skid plates or a relocation kit, it was my first thing done, tires got replaced asap with cooper stt pro's, tie rod sleaves by peak are a must and a tune by trifecta is worth every penny. Recovery of this little truck is 100% easier then recovery of a 1 ton and it will walk across the skeg much better too. I agree on the fuel mileage its no better then a v8. Lots of great info on the forums, all of these issues are addressed on there, could save ya a headache. I love my zr2.

I own 100th anniversary edition at 12 thousand miles you could be going up a hill on payment it started shuddering, when coming to a stop you get a loud bang . Took it to dealer they said it had the wrong fluid took them 2 weeks to change the fluid? The next thing was front axle shaft bearing went out again took about 2 weeks to replace. I have a 1979 that has about 300 thousand miles ( legends member )told dealer that truck had 130 thousand miles before I had to replace anything on except normal service these new trucks don't compare.

Major transmission trouble coming up for that truck for whoever winds up with it. The faulty 8 speed that they put in all their trucks and some cars.

I have the ZR2 diesel. It’s been great overall so far but mine is a pavement princess and only has 33k miles on it. It’s a real shame about your issues. It seems like 90% of them are related to poor underbody design considerations. And for a off-road truck, that’s inexcusable. I have mud flaps similar (maybe the same) to yours, hoping it will prevent some amount of debris from getting thrown up onto the sensitive or poorly designed components.

Sometimes there are just bad ones. Thanks for the video I am doing my research and need all information I can get. By the way who is Zed, hopefully not the same guy from Pulp Fiction. Just kidding I know what it is, it’s funny how even though we speak the same language things are different. Thanks, where I live the weather isn’t as extreme other than heat.

I have the diesel and it is running at 8 liters per hundred. 32+ mpg It’s a 2018 and has been amazing. I think your front boot problem is from driving in the ruts. The boots are getting beat up at they are dragging through the high part of the mud. Wheels in the ruts with CV boots dragging through the.mud. The diesel is better than you think. I pull a dual axle 6000lb travel trailer with ease and still get good mpg of approximately 16…. My only complaint so far is my black paint is getting blasted away in front of the rear wheels from the tires throwing rocks ect. Not good.

Just bought one in a v6 we shall see about these problems for the last year of the 1st gen zr2.

Not sure I'd ever buy a midsized truck but regardless, I'll always be a GM guy...ESPECIALLY for trucks. With that being said, the Colorado and Canyon have always been GM's last priority as far as trucks go and they really make it obvious! Hopefully the 2023 refresh will improve reliability as well as that horrible interior and sedan-esque front end lol. Also, I don't know why GM ditched the old formula for their seats. From first-hand experience I can say that the seats in both my brother's 06 Sierra Denali and my 06 Z71 Tahoe (identical to those in their pickups) were more comfortable than those in a brand new Ram platinum and that's no exaggeration.

Makes me happy I decided on the Z71 instead of the ZR2 lol. Problem free so far

I'm wondering is the wiring harness problem isn't due to squirrels eating at them.

WOW, glad I went with a Tacoma again. When I was a young pup and freshly married I had a base base S-10 that i purchased brand new. Biggest POS I have ever owned. constantly at the dealer. I would pick up the S10 and drop of the wifes Cavalier. both vehicles purchased new, both under warranty. I got rid of both vehicles before the warranty expired. leased a Geo Prism for the wife and realized how good the japanese cars were made. purchased a Nissan truck for myself. Neither vehicle had return trips to the dealer. I have had Nissan's and Toyota's ever since. Looks like nothing has changed for Chevy!

They will always be lemon getting out of the production line because some production line will value quantity over quality

There are lemons with all brands. My ZR2 Bison seems so far to be a solid truck knock on wood.

Finally, a brutally honest truck guy. Hurts to hear this, especially since I'm a fan of the ZR2 look, this ZR2 sounds like a lemon. Hopefully you can do a review on Ram 1500 and 2500. Keep up the great work.

What year is this ?
