limeyangler Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Well my old Canyon finally bit the dust. With over 260K on the clock and a custom rebuild of the tranny needed it was time to lay my faithful servant to rest. Went to my local dealer with a Canyon built and priced and asked to test drive one with at least the same engine, the saleswoman put me in the Colorado ZR2, we signed the paperwork half an hour later.....lol....smart lady. 2" lift with the off road suspension package, independent locking front and rear diff, full skid plates, wifi, touchscreen, navigation, 7 speaker Bose sound, heated seats, basically fully loaded. First scratch on this one is gonna be a nervous breakdown. t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch01 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Nice ride! I've got a '17 Silverado Z71 and I tried so hard not to scratch it - I succeeded, I just got dents instead ? Enjoy your new toy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Only 260k and the transmission needs a rebuild? That seems low to me - did you do a lot of towing or hauling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Awesome rig. I've looked into them, and they should blow away your old one offroad, and should get better mileage pulling the boat too. I don't like the tiny beds on the small trucks, but that is a real cool rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mileage will suck compared to my old rig I think, the old Canyon had a 3.7 straight 5 cyl, could get to Winnipeg and back on a tank (60ltr), not sure how she'll be towing, time will tell. The small bed means its not great for hauling a quad around but although its the same length as my old canyon the sides are higher so with the tail gait down I gain 6" over my old old one. I prefer the smaller trucks, that's just me though, always seems to be an element of trade off when buying any sort of vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Congrats. I bought a 17 diesel LT colorado with the long box. Very happy with it after almost a year. The lockers on the zr2 are nice if you offroad. Mine 'only' has the eaton auto locker in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
