Celebrate Independence Day With America’s ‘Coolest Mid-Size Truck’
It’s not often that you hear an American car reviewer call diesel cool. Diesel is the spawn of Satan, to many Americans. But Doug DeMuro, the popular YouTuber with a penchant for cars with quirks, has a soft spot for the latest Chevrolet Colorado ZR2.
This four-cylinder, 2.8-litre diesel truck has loads of torque, can tow damn near as much as a Ford Raptor but is almost a foot narrower and vastly easier to drive every day. It also has a bunch of weird features like an ‘exhaust brake,’ a factory- or dealer-fitted light bar that’s illegal for road use and the option to choose exactly which part of the seat you want to be heated.
Doug argues that the ZR2 can do almost anything a Raptor can, but costs a small fortune less to buy. America, would you carve your slice of freedom in the shape of a Colorado, or is the lure of the massive Raptor too hard to pass by?

I’d rather have this than a Raptor. The latter is too big and too heavy
The raptor is still an f-150
It wouldn’t be a post about Doug DeMuro without one of these here
Doug DeMuro can drink my spit and urine
Well you sure have unfavorable quirks and features..
I’ll take the Raptor. This ZR2 doesnt have enough horsepower.
But it’s a diesel, it’s not supposed to be a high horsepower monster like the Raptor
Horsepower isn’t the be-all and end-all for a car to be good.
But its a diesel and also is more nimble and actually affordable
I like the Hennessey VelociRaptor 6×6
You don’t need high horsepower for off-roading
Its the coolest till the ranger raptor comes out

Nope. Toyota.
God Doug needs to be paying you at this point! How about you stop being so biased towards him and focus on the wealth of other great automotive youtubers as well if you insist on promoting youtubers. Doug doesn’t need any more promo, help some of the great smaller guys out CT
This i agree. Why not content from the Hoonigan, or other reviewers…
It still has a Chevy interior though.
