Hey guys, Cold weather has made me take out my winter front for my grille for the first time. It has a convenient hole for the camera but looks awful as 4 inches of the grill on either side are still showing. Is everyone else’s like this or did the dealership give me the wrong one?

Hey all. I’m moving to WI from FL, and am wondering what you all keep in your trucks every day. (Especially for winter). I am prepared for the major shift from FL, but I want to hear from you all that have been living it. Right now, I am planning on water, blanket, flashlight, sandbags, recovery gear (looking for recommendations), handgun, waterproof matches, flares, jumper cables, and I’m sure more that I’m just not listing. Thanks in advance- and feel free to tell me what your summer gear is too!

Anyone ever upgraded their stock front hub bearings to something heavier? Or does it require that I swap out the whole axle shaft assembly. I had a bearing go bad on me while I was out plowing a few days ago, and it just wore right out. So I figure while I'm in there, is it possible to get a heavier duty one?

Hey all, recently picked up my 2016 all terrain, it has the 5.3 8 speed, love my truck love all the sierra's I've owned 2012, 2014. I notice at low speeds with new transmission it's a bit.. Clunky as it seems to change gears to quick, straight away no problem however turning out of driveway or turns at low speeds it's noticeable .. I can live with this.. However last 2 trucks have been tanks for winter driving, with blizzaks they didn't move, wonder how this will affect next winter driving? Mainly accelerating and such.. Any insight on the 8-speed for winter conditions?

Members of NEMPA test each vehicle under consideration in the worst possible weather conditions to arrive at the results. This year, New England experienced the most snow and also the coldest February on record. That gave the testers, which included members of the GM-trucks.com staff, a chance to put the Colorado through some very challenging conditions. Not only was the Colorado the best vehicle in its class the group tested, it was a strong contender for the overall win, which went to the Ford F-150. Crossovers and SUVs rank high on everyone's winter vehicle list, but this past winter called for more capability than even some large AWD crossovers could handle. WheelsTV and NEMPA noted that the Colorado offers the capabilities of many full-size trucks with the convenience of a small package. -
