Chevy Mid-Size Diesel!

This may pan out to be nice midsize Diesel, just wish it was a Toyota!

I built one to see, $$$$

 

Is this just a diesel Colorado/Canyon or something new entirely?

 

Nevermind. You beat me to it.

 

I believe the trucks been around, now with the diesel!

 

It’s not a tundra so ... blech

 

Two glaring things wrong with this:

1. It's a mid-size truck.
2. It's a Chevy.

 

Weird sagging hood is weird.

 

I always thought those older ZR2s were good looking trucks...

 

You lost me after chevrolet

 

The diesel in these has been out for about a year now I think. My aunt has one of these and in August we went camping and it blew the oil cooler hose, left her stranded 5hrs from home with her camper. Truck was an 2018 and 9800miles...ouch!

 

The pic is actually the new AEV version called the bison or something.

 

Yep, I think for 2019 you are able to get that grille as an option on them now.

 

I send this to her every so often to remind her she shouldn't of traded her 2015 tacoma with 34k trouble free miles in on the Colorado.

 

It does look better with that grill. The placement on the rear shocks have always been a problem for me.

 

Yes, they hang so low!

 

That's exactly what happened! You can see the oil lines on that pic on the road from where she leaked, dipstick didn't even show a drop of oil in that thing. I crawled under because she said her DIC flashed low oil pressure and I couldn't believe they use plastic fittings there, what a joke.

 

I really don’t see a point in this thing. If you’re going to buy a diesel use the thing for its purpose. What the hell are you going to do with a diesel that can only pull what a Runner pulls? 5000 lbs.
Weak..

 

I'll stay with the Tacoma! It is evolving slowly, but, it's the best bang for the buck. Besides, I saw a new Toyota Tacoma commercial on tv earlier. The commercial had Chuck Norris (for all you Kung FU Fans), signing a desert sand color Tacoma.......authenticating the strength and durability of the truck

@BTBAKER I like your your Chuck Norris Halloween costume....was it last year's Halloween party that you wore it?

 

Not exactly good fuel economy numbers IMHO. Nice torque numbers though, better than the diesel 3/4 ton truck I learned to drive on-road with (‘93 GM 6.2L)

 

Just like the 3.0L powerstroke on the F150 it is way over priced lol

 

That thing looks like a slightly bigger RZR

 

These Diesel Colorado been out for a while now. The loaded one with the sport bar looks awesome on the road.

 

The Zr2 is a bad ass off-road machine. Make no mistake about that.

If Toyota ups their game with the Pro they could cancel out anything ford, Chevy, or dodge in the performance department.

 

Really not that bad seeing as how a taco pro is 46 right? 47?
