What are your thoughts on having the headlight controls in the infotainment system?

No issue. There is a quick button on the screen and I just leave on Auto.

Those Chevy photos are copyrighted and you have to pay to use that pic….?

No Hablo taco….

I think instead of constantly being directed to the 6G forum everyone should be directed to this thread and pics of my new Z71. This way I can stay here and drive my new ride. Plus we all know the new Ranger isn’t near as pretty as my Colorado??

Nice truck! I really think GM knocked it out of the park with the redesign, I'd choose it over the 6g ranger (and new taco).

congrats on the new ride, looks sharp and I hope it suits your needs!!......just for kicks I went to the Chevy website and "built" the truck.....was shocked at the price.....and surprised you have to pay for memory seats.....I fricking hate that! I hate that about my 2021 Tremor......I paid almost $50k in Oct 2021 for my Tremor and was pissed at the price but it looks like trucks are even more pricey now....WTF?!...I say all the manufacturers are greedy and it's NOT really a "supply chain issue"......but no standard memory seats and you have to pay about $1,500 as part of a bundle to get it.....that's sooooooo irritating!.....my sons' previous 2006 Lexus IS350 had memory seats....and heated and cooled seats......that car is 17 years old and had those options......and now my 2021 top of the line Lariat Tremor doesn't even have an option for memory seats and your new Chevy comes with it but only as an $1,500 option......the truck world is going mad!!

sorry for the rant but I love the look of your new truck and would consider it but not at the current price......ALL of the auto manufacturers need to stop with the greed......

There was this bug going around so they shut down the world for two weeks to flatten the curve. And then forgot the two weeks and went a year or so. Paid people as much or more to stay home than they made working. Then printed enough dollars to cover it all.
Inflation tripled and quadrupled. Still can't get people to work so have to pay way too high wages.
There are more reasons new vehicles are so expensive but I am a hunt and peck typist.

Just a quick note on pricing of all these mid size trucks. They are way too expensive but I drive a lot for my job so I usually only keep a vehicle 2-3 years and like creature comforts.

Ended up paying $3000 less OTD for my new truck than I payed for my Ranger late in 21. Difference was GM supplier discount off MSRP and Dealer nocked $500 more off to make the deal.

Throwing in max value on my trade I did pretty good. Rates are higher but I also did better than expected there by shopping credit unions and knowing my credit score and lowest possible rates walking in the door.

These new mid size trucks are still in high demand so it’s tough to get a great deal but a good deal is possible…relatively speaking.

thanks for the more info!.....and like you I like my "creature comforts" and hate to admit that my Tremor has only seen dirt/gravel parking lots and no "real" off roading or even a fire trail.....I bought it because it looked cool and I love the power especially with the tune!.......and yes I paid OVER MSRP in Oct 2021 but not by much and mine is 100% paid for.......but I love the look of the new 2023 Colorado and especially the ZR2........please check in here once in a while and give us updates and I'm interested to see how much you like it over time!......maybe I might jump ship.......unless I can get a Ranger Raptor at some point and not pay $10k or 20k OVER msrp.......

I’m going to test drive one to see how I fit and like it and decide if I’ll keep the ranger or upgrade. I’ll order a ZR2 though.
New truck looks great though.

I was on the Chevy site last evening.
Trail Boss and ZR2 are sharp!

So I am checking in, and back in the Ranger groove on the 6G site. Have a new white 24 Lariat FX4. Wish I had never let my Tremor go. Colorado was a nice truck but the google based infotainment and constant issues with over the air updates was cause for dismissal. Starting some mods on the 24 now.

Have to say I always enjoyed the Ranger forums and are way better than the others. Better info and more info sharing.
Keeping my call sign OH Tremor and will be over on 6G. Cheers.

Michael, you’re back!

This is my sixth Ranger. Got my first in the early 90’s. They have all been pretty great except the first one. Had a crappy 4 banger and was always overheating. The rest have been great, tremor was my favorite so far. Will see if the 24 surpasses it.
