    Mine does, I can turn them on and off if I am going under 10km/h I think

    I turn them off all the time when off road, to avoid accidental things.

    I believe it's a combination of sensors and having it in 4 low.

    Regardless, I've seen many people doing lots of offroading in 3rd gens and no issue like what Chevy is having.

    516 Hp nice!
    The Ranger raptor in Australia with 285s and the diesel engine gets 28mpg there as well, no where near that power though.

    The Aussies don't have CAFE standards to worry about? Also their customers are used to paying a lot more for everything. Do you want a V8 Taco bad enough to spend $78k on one?...

    You should read Chevrolet Colorado forums!

    https://www.coloradofans.com/forums...l-discussion/403791-new-transmission-fix.html

    “Have 2017 Cajun Red Colorado-just loved it, until the shudder started at 1900 miles. Have had it at the dealership 5 times, 2 new torque converters, 2 different flushes, AND had the brand new fluid put in on 1/24/19. Supposed to drive it 500 miles, but now it has engine check light on. Only has 14,000 miles on it, bought in Dec. 2017.”



    Apparently, the problem is sooooo bad that GM is no longer replacing the tranny and torque converter...only doing fluid changes until it fails.

    Oh, there is a class-action lawsuit going on for this POS powertrain.
