Uncomfortable front seat

I purchased a 2018 Colorado approx 6 months ago and can honestly say it is the most uncomfortable vehicle I have ever driven. The drivers seat will only only adjust forward/backward and up/down. The drivers seat is over stuffed and digs into the back of my legs and cannot be adjusted for comfort. It is so uncomfortable that I am unable to drive long distances and I can't imagine owning this truck for any length of time. I am considering selling the vehicle and purchasing a Toyota Tacoma. Updated 8-18-19. I still own the Colorado and the driver's seat is still the most uncomfortable I have ever driven. Several months ago I contacted GM about this problem and they suggested I take the truck to the dealership. They scheduled an appointment and told me the dealership would have to charge me $160 to look at the driver's seat. Needless to say I refused to pay $160 for the dealership to look at GM's design flaw and I canceled the appointment. Also I believe GM knows about this problem due to numerous complaints on the internet and the fact I think they now offer a 6-way power seat with the 2019 Colorado.

So far so good. Decided against the Toyota and went with the Chevy. Quiet ride (better than our 2008 Highlander) and handles well. Overall happy so far. Best MPG was 25.6 for a 300 mile trip.

I highly recommend this truck great milage for a pickup very quiet and comfortable. No its not a speed demon but it's very acceptable. The seats could be a bit wider and alot softer ,getting in and out is a cake walk very easy no twisting. Love this truck so far. Also the phone and Bluetooth are excelent in this truck but radio reception seems poor, if you do you're own maintenance you will love it , very easy access to everything

till a strong performer Had to go to the dealership for a transmission fluid change due to a light shudder in top gear . Fluid change took care of it . Changed to a Mobil 1. Free of charge . No other problems. . At 33K miles all is well No transmission shudder or erratic shifting .. No rattles , all electronics work as new .

My Bad [non-permissible content removed] ZR2

This truck is my ideal dream truck. I heard another reviewer call it the Marty McFly truck (Back to the Future), and I agree. It is the truck I wanted when I was in high School (& that was a LONG time ago). OK, so it is my mid-life crisis truck. The stance, non-functional hood bevel, 31" tires, bumper reduction for approach/departure, optional roll cage with LED lights (I got em), factory lift, all lend to an aggressive look. Mine has the gas V6/308 HP. This engine has plenty of umph for me. The front and rear locking diff is also a game changer. Take some time to watch this on YouTube and you'll see what it is. Getting in a out of the ZR2 is a bit of a stretch. I am 5'10" and I can make due, but if you are in inclement weather, you risk the chance of rubbing the back of your pant legs on the factory stock rockers. My girlfriend hates this; I don't :) The interior is nice, but the dash has a plastic feel due to the fact that it is cheap plastic. The leather seats are comfortable, but combine both electric and manual adjustments (curious as to why). Driving this little beast is awesome! It handles like a sports car and with the DSSV shocks, this truck eats up bumps and jumps! If it is gas mileage you are looking for, this is not the truck for you. I am averaging 17 MPG. I love the layout of the instrumentation. If you have an Apple or Droid phone, don't worry about getting the navigation option. With the Apple Play, it mirrors itself on the large infotainment screen and you just use your smart phones navi app to get you where you want to go. This is a really nice feature. Overall, I obviously love my truck. It is a head turner. True story; I was sitting in a parking lot and a truck driver stopped his rig in the rain and ran over to where I was! He wanted to know what I was driving. Amazing!
