2023 AT4 here. Yes, I would buy again. It’s the best looking mid-size out there, best interior, possibly best power train? I think that could be subjective but at the very least, it’s a very good power train. Pricey though but what isn’t anymore.

 

I agree with troutspinner the only thing I would change is if the diesel would have been an option for my Z71, for sure. My brother has the 3.0 diesel in his Silverado, what a nice motor and great mpg as a bonus.

 

ABSOLUTELY NOT!


I'd get one with a sunroof.



That's pretty much the only change I would make. And while I love the HBM color, I'd probably go with orange if it was a newer model year.

 

Yes! This is my favorite mid-size truck of the five I've owned.

Bill

 

100%. I've had some minor annoyances that I SHOULDN'T have had (like the TPMS issue that JUST showed up today), but it's been awesome so far in 14,500mi.

 

Definitely would

 

Absolutely would! Though color might be a challenge as they dropped the Glacier Blue my '23 wears.

 

1- I could have sworn there was an active thread with this same title a few months back but I genuinely can't find it...major Déjà vu?


2- If I were to buy again, I would only buy a ZR2 or AT4X. And I would only consider it if I wasn't going to keep it longer than 5-7 years.

Yes. I’d buy again all day. Great truck

 

Yep. I kinda did, going from an '18 ZR2 to a '24 ZR2

 

For my 2023 AT4, yes, I'd buy it again. It's the best-looking mid-size truck, with the best interior, and maybe the best powertrain. That last point might be subjective, but it's definitely a very good one. It is expensive, but what isn't these days?

 

No, well maybe, I keep driving by this Blue used 24 ZR2 that I drool over. Favorite color, and looks great.
Wife does not like blue, and i haul old guys around and they would have trouble getting in and out.
So I will stick with my Red AT4 that I put lower running boards on so the old guys and the wife can get in.

If I did not have the boat, I saw a Maverick Tremor the other day that looked good, for what it is..
FYI: Study's show that Blue is the favorite color for those of us who are colorblind.

I guess it’s because I see on the forums where people are having different problems with their trucks. But then someone told me that people will usually only post when there’s something wrong.

 

Yes. but i would be looking for some changes like more user friendly infortainment. On board interactive online access to user manual Including Search feature. More rear seat leg room as promised. driver safety feature like detection of eyes not on the road and wearyness. Great question but does GM listen?

 

I would do it again if I was younger and more active. Don't get me wrong, its the best one out the 3 generations I've owned. I'm heading for retirement, work 99% from home and it kills me to see it parked most of the time.
In reality, I should trade in the car and truck for 1 vehicle, and I know it won't be a pick up because of the wife and real needs for space.
No problems to speak of, and the board just keeps me current on its features and fixes.

 

You are headed for retirement and you own a ZR2 Desert Boss so you should get into camping with towing an rv and light off roading in your Desert Boss. Or at the very least do some cruising in it before trading it in in a few years

 

I bought a used ‘22 ECLB RWD earlier this year, that actually looked almost brand new, and I would absolutely buy it again, same configuration, only with a V6 if I could find one. Even though it’s just a NA 4-banger, it’s a great driving truck that does everything I need it to. Not sure about a 3rd gen though, because I really prefer a ECLB. Probably a moot point anyway, because there’s a good chance this truck will outlive me. in the 5 months I’ve owned it, I haven’t put 1000 miles on it yet.

 

'24 Canyon Denali - just over 12,000 miles. Would absolutely buy it again. The only issue from a functionality standpoint has been the rear-facing camera display is missing the guideline grid. Have a service appointment coming up in October to diagnose. No other problems, and I love driving this truck much more than the '18 Sierra CC standard bed it replaced.

You do know the grid is a menu option, you can trigger it on or off with the camera app

 

Let me preface by saying that I love everything about this truck... except the interior space. It's a head-turner, it has plenty of power, the interior design is beautiful, the exterior design is beautiful - I just don't fit in it! My next truck will likely be another 1/2 ton. Probably another Ram, or GMC AT4.

 

Are you exceptionally tall or just a really big guy?

 

After 8,000 miles, I would buy again. The only thing I would change is maybe get a higher trim level like an AT4X instead of an Elevation.

 

Absolutely! It’s the perfect truck for the wife and I before we start having kiddos. Even when little ones come along I think I’ll be able to get a couple years with it. Having sat in all the current mid size trucks, the Colorado has the biggest back seat. It’s the ideal truck for me going to job sites and it just looks good. It performs great, rides great, and I haven’t had any issues with it. I’d do it all over again and again and again.

 

I know this was put in the Gen 3 category but my 2022 has been great so far. I few little hiccups that fixed themselves. The only issue that might pop is when I retire. My plan is to get a trailer or camper and travel the US. My wife does not fly, so that is going to be our way of doing it. Hotels are always an option, but I wanted to try and travel roads less seen and even do some if not all of Route 66. My concern is the towing capacity. Other than that, it has been a great truck for me, size an power are perfect for what I have needed it for.

 

I’d definitely purchase again! My only issue with the TB is the cowl fitment. It’s a 23 and have 12k on it. Next trip to the dealer I will address the cowl with them…….again.
As stated before it rides great and looks awesome, especially with a slight lift on it. Tows the boat like it isn’t even back there!

 

I would as well- My last truck was a 22 Frontier and the frame was rusting heavily even though I washed it on a regular basis. Only change I would like is maybe a normal v6.

This weekend I hauled about 150 pavers from Home Depot which are kind of heavy, the truck did great.

 

I'd do it again. I like the truck a lot and got a fairly loaded up truck.

 

I think I'd try the Tacoma or Frontier next.
So far in the midsized truck genre I've had
2000 Tacoma
2005 Tacoma
2021 Gladiator
2024 Canyon

The Tacomas have been vastly superior in mechanical reliability and durability.
The Gladiator was the mist fun and most work.
The Canyon has been the most comfortable and luxurious.

 

Tacomas became what they are based on being simple, reliable, and relatively inexpensive. The new Tacoma is none of these things.

I’ve been a Toyota loyalist for 3 land cruisers over the last >30 years. When my daughter eventually bought the 2024 ZR2, she cross shopped the new Land Cruiser, GX550,Tacoma, and frontier. My local dealer even gave me a GX550 to try for the weekend. I was thoroughly unimpressed with the new run of Toyota’s and the Tacoma was the worst of the bunch I drove. And her $$$ went to the Colorado.

 

I might buy again but I have had so many issues with mine. It has been back to the dealer at least five times already and goes back tomorrow.
It does drive and tow well and hasn’t left me stuck anywhere yet.
