Comparing anything from 2007 to current quality wise is no comparison. Quality control within all the manufacturers, especially domestic, has gone way downhill since 2007 (pre plandemic). And all the new bells and whistles with sensor and software issues. All having issues.
It was insinuated that GM always has electrical issues, I was simply disputing that. YMMV across the board on all manufacturers.
Talk you (more) out of it?Master Edit-- I have been talked out of it.
park in the street. or be a man and park on the front yard.
What kind of weirdo puts OEM back on when their suspension wears out?
Same here, 310hp and 430 torques with cylinder deactivation, vs the Taco at 326hp and 465 torques with all your cylinders and hybrid mileage.
Just one of the well-known issues with this new generation Colorado/Canyon since September 2023. Roof buckling in car wash.It would be interesting to get your feedback post test-drive. I ended up parting with my EcoD Glady and spent a few weeks visiting a few Canyon and Colorado examples. This was a few months ago before any inventory was easily accessible. Their stunning looks drew me in, they both nailed it from that perspective.
Hoping out of my JT and into either felt like I was stepping out of a tank and into a bottom barrel rental car. Everything felt exceedingly cheap and I'm near certain an average sized person could rip nearly the entire interior out of one with their bare hands in under an hour.
If you do hop in one bang around with your fist on the door panels, dash, console etc. and you'll see what I mean. Bang on the body panels. Slide under the truck, everything that could be stamped is. I then learned that a mere pressure washer will dent the roof, a dryer will too. It's a new known issue they are trying to resolve, have a gander on google. These ridges are from a simple automated car wash:
I ended up passing of course and left that option shocked at how brittle a truck can be these days yet still be marketed as some ultra capable rig. If you're set on leaving the JT platform yet want a midsize and are in ZR2 bison budget territory, for sure take a hard look at the ranger raptor.
I fixed the steering with a Fox ATS stabilizer which is adjustable to your needed.
I believe these are electronically controlled shocks, they plug into the computer.
The loan, the depreciation hit, the CA taxes, the fees, the CA registration (I'd expect over $1k/yr on a 50k purchase), the high interest, and likely no budging on the sale price.
I see nothing has changed since our 98 Jimmy. Great car till the problems started roughly year 3 and the transmission and ongoing electrical ghosts in the machine. My wife says she thinks it fell off the truck.
I had a friend with a Mazda GLC, if you remember those, basically an econobox that will get you from here to there and hopefully back... Someone hit his rear quarter panel made a big dent like a foot across. I had him open the trunk, took my fist and whacked it hard. It popped back and you couldn't tell it had ever been hit. Now that was quality steel. Just not very much of it.
