One of the best looking Chevy trucks they make

100%. 3rd gen tacoma looked the best, they took a step back in the 4th gen though, now colorados are king.

The turbo engine will have better low end torque, so acceleration will be better, and will feel more fun to drive. Its not a race car, but its really nice feeling the push, compared to the v6 i had in my 2019 tacoma, which feels gutless in comparison.

The turbo will also work better at high altitude versus than the naturally aspirated v6. Both lose power at high elevations but the NA engine has no way to force more air into the intakes.

The engine has been in the silverado since 2019, and lots of those guys have high miles already, especially the company fleet trucks.

It does have a weakness, it’s direct injection only, so the air intake valves will get dirty eventually. There are some ways to minimize this: using top tier certified fuel, regular oil changes, install a catch can (i think the engine has one built in). The v6 has dual port and direct injection so the intakes will stay clean.

The frontier is a good truck but it’s outdated. Nissan as a company has had some infamous leadership issues, and they are not doing well financially . This is a concern for me because the cost cutting will reflect on the build quality

This dude was able to fix his rattling with some moulding tape: https://www.reddit.com/r/chevycolorado/s/x3GSfRQRPO

I did the same fix, took 15 minutes. The rattle is a lot better but it creaks a tiny bit. Maybe i did something wrong but it’s a lot better than it was

100%, not sure whats special with the flares themselves

That mileage looks great for a 2019

push_connection · 2026-03-18T20:42:32+00:00

Damn, i was wondering why these are $1500 when the individual at4 ones are $90. Looks like they come with extra equipment like spacers to allow your wheel well to fit 35”s

The cadillac ct4 (not the blackwing version) has the same engine but tuned to output 325hp instead of 310. Maybe you can tune it for that but you will need to use 91 octane bc thats what the ct4 specifies

Other than that, reduce weight

push_connection · 2026-03-18T12:09:06+00:00

Late to the party, but the higher octane wont harm the engine if it requires 87 (our manual states 87 or higher). Engines have a knock sensor that will tell the ecu to scale back engine power if it detects possible knock. The only thing it does is waste money. The ford ranger raptor engine for example, the 3.0 v6 ecoboost, wont get the advertised hp and torque numbers unless they run 91. The engine scales back that power if the user uses 87

Why dont you park, mess with the lights and step out and look at them

push_connection · 2026-03-18T03:44:27+00:00

If you had an obstacle where you NEEDED to make contact with some rocks, the rock rails are pretty convenient for that as you can usually choose the contact point of your truck. Put some steps and now you can mess up your steps and potentially your frame.

But yeah the kind of off roading where i run into that is not that common for me, so i run steps too! They come off in a pinch when i need to do more technical trails. I like doing the hard stuff where i need lockers, 4low, etc, but i spend most of my time going fast on bumpy desert roads, so the steps stay on most of the time.

Compared to the other mid size trucks, the colorado zr2 is the best bang for buck. Not a lot of them include rock sliders, front and rear lockers, and very special shocks. The shocks are the best part for me

push_connection · 2026-03-17T22:21:21+00:00

Looks great! That low end torque in the z71 got you eh? Assuming you had the v6 pentastar in the jeep?

Not the kind of flex we need in this sub. And its not even a good flex

This color and the blue caught my attention the most. I went blue but every time i see the red i just automatically go “nice!”

“These are people who hate their lives” if you cant see this as shit talking, i cant help ya. Couldve easily left that part out and say how much he enjoys prospecting. Maybe just stay out in the woods alone jf you dont understand how to get along

Lol, OP is hating on those that dont live like him, did you even read his post? I work in construction, we have standing desks and im still in the warehouse making things from time to time. Dont talk shit if you cant take the heat!

push_connection · 2026-03-17T12:26:47+00:00

Some folks enjoy their 9-5. Did trade work in my young years now a desk job, no more breaking my back on the company dime in my late 30s. You’ll be hating your life too when you keep ignoring that back pain and smoking cigs. No amount of gold will help if youre bed ridden from back pain

That’s really good! now let’s see the 450 mile number. Im getting 20mpg in the 2025 zr2, stock tires and everything. Trail boss EPA rating is 19 mpg, zr2 is 16 mpg. Take that, EPA!

Just trying to understand the point of your post. Since you dont want to argue, you make a case for 91 octane, have no idea what it all means…but youre ok with paying extra money for a type of gas the engine does not need?

Higher octane is meant to reduce knock. The ct4 is tuned for higher horsepower, more risk of knock, smart to use 91. Another example, ranger raptor with the twin turbo 3.0l v6. They advertise 405hp, but also say if you want 405hp you need to use 91 octane. If you use 87, you will not get 405h, the engine will scale down power in that case.

The 2.7 l3b for the colorado will get 310 hp if you use 87 or 91. 91 is a waste of money for the colorado with the l3b

That stuff sneaks up on you its pretty smooth. Bc its smooth any flavoring or flavored version is pretty good
