2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

Well to be fair it's a 2004 full size which as everything gets bigger the brand new lexus GX460 which is a mid size is the same size wise as my LX470 and the LX570 is much larger.
The 2 things that bugged me was the the cheaper feeling interior and the price and the price is partially due to the interior. Like say if I had a very nice feeling interior I'd be more willing to hand over $50k. Though I feel like the truck feels more like a $42k truck to me at least. At that price I would have a new truck in my driveway right now.

I like the shocks on the zr2, the lockers. But I like the GMC Canyon interior far more, and the long bed. If I could order a LB, 4dr slt Canyon with added lockers and multi madic shocks I'd be very happy.
Is the GMC interior nicer?
That's pretty much all you're paying for when you step up to the GMC version.

Yes and you can get something other than late 90's black. The brown interior is pretty nice. I had black in my old car and now 8 yrs in my light Cream interior car no way I'm going to black interiors again. Even with kids and dogs and the mess they bring to seats.

I am a 355 loyal guy, but 50K is absolutely INSANE!
I guess I am just jealous of other peoples money.
I hope that anyone who buys one will join up at 355nation to share the good and bad with other Colorado losers.
It's not even an issue of being jealous of others money it's more like, even if you had the money is the value there for the money spent.
This is where I'm at, not really sure the value is there.

Good point. If they buy a ZR2 I just hope they give an honest review. I feel like people too often just say its great without any negative points. I have a laundry list of things I dislike about the 355 platform, but I am open about them.
The people that are honest and open help potential buyers in the future.
I hope to see a ZR2 soon.
The factory front and rear e-lockers are available to add in to any non-ZR2 model. GM has even publicly stated as much. Just need to activate them with an external switch.
There are more than a couple of dealers throughout the US(Texas being an example) that have diesel powered ZR2's on the lot for invoice or less. Saw a white one yesterday for $900 under invoice.

There is no way that is true.
Yeah I call bs on that one. They may be an option you can add but probably not just a switch or harness that needs to be plugged in. Highly unlikely. There may be dealerships that have zr2 under invoice but non that I have seen yet.
Narrow minded individuals who can't see beyond their own spectrum ALWAYS put down others who offer a chance at something better. Believe what you want, or don't. Matters none to me.

There are so many independently owned GM dealers near me I can't imagine it being very hard to get near invoice for a ZR2 with some patience and around November after the initial rush to get one wears off.
On the flip side our Toyota dealers are Auto Group owned and they have pretty much created a monopoly and do not negotiate on hardly any model especially popular ones. Another reason I won't buy a new Toyota ever.

I'm seeing more and more people buying vehicles out of state, for the exceptional deals, and the great "road trip" experience. Other than the more complicated DMV issues, it sounds like a heck of a lot of fun.
Might be a way to see some country, and get a good deal at the same time.
I've been considering this process for the next vehicle purchase. Basically just shopping dealers with YouTube, or great web sites.
How cool would it be to load up a back pack, fly out, pick up the vehicle, and then run the TAT, or something similar back home? :victory:
