I drove the 2015 Colorado & Canyon

[Zane]

I couldn't wait any longer. Yesterday I had a chance to drive a few differnt Colorado/Canyons outside San Diego. I'll have more time with the trucks this morning.

 

I'll be writing up my full thoughts on my flight home to the east coast today and posting my First Drive report tomorrow.

 

In the meantime, here's my quick and dirty first thoughts:

- These truck are larger than you'd expect from the photos

- Steering and brake feel are very good- GM nailed it

- 3.6L feels more truck like than in other applications

- Interior on Colorado is sorta bland looking

- Stitched interior on Canyon is better

- Very manuverable on the road, tight turning radius of 41ft

- All the features from the full-size trucks, no take aways

 

I'll post some photos from my phone in the next reply. Driving the I4 this morning and taking more photos before flying out of here. Can't wait to share more when I get home tomorrow.

Did they have any last generation ones for size comparison? Be interesting to see how this one and the last one match up.

[Zane]

No past gens to compare. However...

Just by the pictures I can tell the new ones are in a whole different league then the previous gen ones. The old ones were horrible, ugly, crappy uncomfy interiors, they drove terrible, and weren't good on fuel.

I'm really liking these trucks! The size is great although I'd like them just a tad smaller otherwise theyre almost the size of a gmt800, am I right?

 

These just look so nimble and the turdbrodiesel will be awesome.

Thanks for the update and pics.

 

That red Canyon looks great!

 

Looking forward to your write up tomorrow.

They are definitely larger than the previous version

The red Canyon with the colormatched grille was also my favorite. So hot!

Were they all crew-cab long beds ? All 4WD ?

No, there was some extended cab and 2WD mixed in as well.

_{I liked the proto Canyon better.}

 

_{Any have Sliding Rear Glass?}

 

_{Is that Spray-in-Liner in the green one?}

 

_{Definitely the Canyon over the Colorado for me.}

 

_{Thanks for any info.}

Why wouldn't they have manufacture plates from MI? Chrysler is the only one that seems to put regular Michigan plates on press fleet stuff.

The green is a hideous color
