When I decided to buy my 2017 v6 extended cab 2wd I wanted to know what the 1/4 mile time would be. However, I could not find anything online specifically for this configuration.
I saw that the crew cab 4x4 was getting 14.8 and a 0-60 of 6.1.
I figured the Extended Cab 2wd would be faster since it is 300lbs lighter, still has the exact same weight distribution, and isn't quite traction limited. (the crew cab adds 1% to the back but 4x4 adds 1% to the front).
Now my break-in is over and I can finally answer this question for others - 14.6 in the 1/4 mile.
I think there was still another .1 on the table, I didn't realize until too late that the truck short shifts the 4-5 just a few hundred feet before the line (probably related to the 98 mph speed limiter?) best results would have been achieved with the truck in manual mode locked to 4th gear max.
Everyone at the track had good things to say, took people by surprise.
You really can't lose in the Colorado, either you win the race and it brings great shame to the other person for losing to a Colorado or you don't win the race but nobody cares because it is a Colorado.
Brake torquing did not improve results, and often worsened results, just step on the gas and go.
I do have the g80 locking rear differential and you could definitely tell it was doing work.
This was on the stock 18s and GY Fortitudes.
