Walked into a showroom and got white, LT, trailering pkg, Bose, Lux pkg (nav, remote start, heated seats etc) locking rear diff, rear slider window with a list of 38809. Got the dealer down to 36K and change with a trade. Love the heck out of this thing!I just built one on the configurator and ended up at $40,950
Major accessories:
Diesel
Short Box Crew
Remote Start
Navigation
Bose Audio
Question, how did you manage the diesel engine option as it wasn't an option as late a 3 June on the USAA Buyers service? For that reason, I couldn't take advantage of the reduced interest rate through the buyers service. I got a good deal, regardless, but I was disappointed that diesels weren't offered.I ordered mine through USAA(who partners with TRUECar): The MSRP $36,385
Bought it for $33,000 even pre tax and all that stuff.
- Crew cab,
- Longer bed,
- Z71 4x2(RWD) and
- Diesel(obviously)
I went with the Z71 because a came with all the features, except:
I also chose not to have:
- full leather
- lane departure and forward collision warning
Last second I chose not to order the spray Bed liner - because the $475 after Tax (9%) alone is $517 and then Interest! It was definitely not worth the cool BowTie it came with.
- 4X4 - because I won't need it in my life nearly enough to fret about it and I wanted that extra 2 MPG's
- Bose Speakers - because standard speakers work great anymore
- Navigation built in - because MyLink has Android Auto and Apple Play which really eliminates the need for it.
I found a place locally $438 out the door to spray my bed w/ a UV protection.
Besides that I want to buy a floor liner either dealer or aftermarket and This elusive CeramicPro stuff i read about on here, covering everything keeping it protected inside and out.
The dealer offers something similar I need to research its quality.
So, yeah, $33,000 purchase price, but after everything and interest and extended warranty, I will be shelling out $41,000.
Though, I do plan to take advantage of the prepayment w/o penalties.
Truckguy1970, what suspension enhancements come with the Z71 package? I understand it adds Bilsteins. Did you test drive non Z71 models. I am curious how the ride differes in the Z71.My sticker price was about $42K, but it had quite a few of the Accessory items included in the sticker price. The Z71 option included a lot of the items that would have to add in other packages, as it already included the remote start and the heated seats. But mine also had the step bars, spray in bedliner, fender flares, black bowties, and trailering package. I absolutely love my truck, and the mileage is a big plus, averaging about 29 MPG overall.
There are a few on dealer lots here in Michigan still, but for the most part not many dealers have many Colorodo or Canyon pickups on the lot because the sell quickly, and currently there are incentives out there to move the MY16 vehicles.
Ottomaddick, for the Colorado, the Z71 is actually a vehicle trim level and not just a package like it is on the full size trucks. It actually includes quite a few options such as heated seats, remote start, fog lamps, tow hooks, locking rear differentional, sliding rear window, and others, along with the Z71 Off-Road Suspension package, which I believe is the Bilsteins, and skid shields. Both vehicles I tested were Z71 vehicles, one gas and one diesel, so I am not sure how the ride difference might be, but I would expect would still be fairly similar. For the items I was looking for the Z71 package included items that would be extras on the LT trim so actually seemed to come out cheaper that way when building one online because I prefer the heated cloth seats to the leather seat package and I am not a big fan of chrome so the Z71 has more body color and black than chrome.Truckguy1970, what suspension enhancements come with the Z71 package?

Thanks. I was already aware of the packages. I was simply curious about the handling qualities and differences between Z71 and non Z71 configurations. I have a very well equiped LT, or as I like to call it, the HD, (see pic),Since the diesels already have stiffer suspension components than the gas models, I was wondering how the Bilsteins affected the handling. The LT's still have some residual body roll when making lane changes or other lateral maneuvering. Would like to reduce that.Ottomaddick, for the Colorado, the Z71 is actually a vehicle trim level and not just a package like it is on the full size trucks.

Ok, now I understand. I don't seem to have much body roll in turns, but that is comparing to my full size which does. I'll have to check out my a couple of my co-workers, to see if any of them have the LT package to compare with, they gave the gas trucks one is the canyon with All Terrain package, which I would assume is same as Z71 suspension, and other is Z71 gas, but I think there is a diesel around here that is an LT as well. Might have to take a lunch break to check out the differences.Thanks. I was already aware of the packages.
