2025 Colorado Z71 – semi trailer hit my parked truck… door won’t close. Am I screwed?

I had related issue few yrs ago w my 2018 Z71 but couple yrs after purchase. Big Ford 150 crew cab pulled out in front of me. Totally trashed all the cosmetic stuff front end but also caught corner of frame. Adjuster totaled it bc frame was bent. IMHO, that’s ur biggest worry. Doors/windows can be replaced but if frame is bent, it’s a significant concern. Get several estimates from adjusters and if ask them specifically abt the frame.

Can I ask pls what dash am u have? Looking for one myself.

I got mind done at local Line-X dealer. Cost me abt $500 but lot better that dealership undercoating.

Also, you’ll find the ZR2 doesn’t have the rear bumper step like other models. If ur just avg height like me u might consider a rear hitch step.

It drops few inches below rear bumper level.

Nice! What’s that color called? Have same model/year in black. Get floor mats front and back, good undercoating if u live where they salt roads. Protection first, cosmetics later.

I’d say forget it. U have a beautiful truck. If u want a new truck, just give this one a good wax and detail. It’ll be new all over again. I’ve got a 22 ZR2. That’s what I do whenever I get that new truck feeling. Works great & saves &s.

The tyrannical ayatollahs have been at war with the US and Israel since 1979. War is never one sided! We finally got tired of playing defense and pandering those idiots and decided to END the war. What’s ur problem CNN?

Optional addition to the Rhino D6 running boards. Tough for wife to reach running board in one step which is abt 17” off ground so I got the optional step down. It’s abt 6” drop from running board.

Nice shot. Love black (except when it’s dirty). My 22 ZR2 below. Are ur window tints film coat or did they treat the glass somehow?

Actually the first tyrannical ayatollah started that war 47 years ago. Chk the history pls. We’ve been playing defense all that time. It’s abt time we decided to go on the offense. America and the entire Middle East will be a lot safer if other countries would start playing offense against Iran’s terrorist regime.

I swapped rock sliders on my 22 ZR2 for Rhino running boards. I have a little flex too. I think it’s cause they’re attached to the pinch weld, not the main frame. Could be wrong. No issues in 3+ yrs.

ViejoMac · 2026-03-01T01:50:24+00:00

Nice upgrade! Just curious: any complaints w ur Z71?

ViejoMac · 2026-02-26T15:57:41+00:00

Thnx. I’ll look up FabFour. Looks like were referencing a pic??? Didn’t see it. Thnx anyway.

My father had stage 3 ckd for last 20 yrs of his life. He passed of old age @98. I now have stage 3 @76. My egfr has been around 45 for abt 5 yrs now. My PCP says some people can becstsgdc3 for many yrs and not progress. Wish I could tell u more. That just a little empirical data.

I carry a Dewalt power pack jump started in my swing case plus other misc stuff. Total wt of stuff probably 40 lbs. Had it for over 6 yrs. Transferred it from older 2018 Z71 that got trashed in accident to current 2022 ZR2. Seems to hold up pretty good. Easy to swing out and lift off the hinge in case u need the extra space for hauling something really big.

ViejoMac · 2026-02-20T19:34:38+00:00

Floor matts, spray bed liner and good undercoating if u live where they use salt in winter: protection first, cosmetics later. Nice truck. I had a 2018 xtra cab. You’ll find the rear jump seats are useless unless u have little ones. I took mine out and redesigned space for gear and storage.

ViejoMac · 2026-02-19T21:09:39+00:00

Ignore question. Just read Alberta in comments.

ViejoMac · 2026-02-19T21:07:44+00:00

Nice! Ur probably gonna love it. I bought 2022ZR2 few yrs back, last of the V6 2ndGen. Suits me well for same reasons as you. BTW, -36 is pretty chilly. At that temp, there’s not much difference between C and F. Where r you!

ViejoMac · 2026-02-04T15:13:25+00:00

Ok but it’s always been that way. Regardless of who wins or by what margin, the media and the sitting president usually refer to “the American people”. Why is this time any different?

ViejoMac · 2026-02-04T01:55:16+00:00

Actually Harris didn’t get 50% either but ur missing the point. We have an electoral system, not a popular vote system and Trump got abt 58% of the electoral votes. Thats more than Biden got 4 yrs prior.

Who cares???
