2023 Chevy Colorado Spray-On Bedliner Is Currently Under Constraint

The 2023 Chevy Colorado got its big debut last July, dropping in as an all-new third generation for the popular pickup nameplate. Compared to the previous generation, the 2023 Chevy Colorado features new exterior styling, an overhauled cabin, and a new powertrain as well. The Bow Tie’s all-new midsize truck recently began shipping to dealers, but GM Authority has just learned that the 2023 Chevy Colorado’s spray-on bedliner is currently under constraint.

According to GM Authority sources, the spray-on bedliner for the 2023 Chevy Colorado is currently under constraint as a result of a supplier restriction. As such, buyers will likely be unable to order the bedliner, at least for the time being. It’s unclear at this time when the bedliner will be available for the 2023 Chevy Colorado at full capacity again.

The spray-on bedliner for the 2023 Chevy Colorado is tagged with RPO code CGN and is offered as an optional extra for all trim levels, except the 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2. Normally, 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 trim levels include this feature as standard, which makes this constraint particularly problematic for ZR2 customers. Normally, all other trims offer the bedliner as optional for $475.

As a reminder, the 2023 Chevy Colorado is available with two powertrain options depending on the trim level selected, including the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L2R gasoline engine, rated at 237 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, and the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, which is available in two different levels of output, including 310 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque, and 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.

Under the body panels, the 2023 Chevy Colorado rides on an updated variant of the GM 31XX platform. As GM Authority covered previously, the start of regular production (SORP) for the 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 is set to kick off this month. Production once again takes place at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri.

  1. Oh that is too bad. That is such a great option on these trucks. I sure hope it’s available soon. I know I have a 2010 Canyon I bought new and I got a plastic bedliner from GM when it was bought and that thing always rattles

  2. Wouldn’t this news also suggest that the “spray in bed liner for the 2023 GMC Canyon is under constraint.”

    1. That’s tomorrow’s headline. Gotta keep us clicking…they know we’ll click it and read this same article again with just the names changed.

  3. Doesn’t really matter, there aren’t any to buy at dealers. Who cares?

    1. Yes, I do agree with that but I would be cautious and talking about the lack of availability for these vehicles. There’s a user that goes by the name commonsense and he will just blast you up talking about why are you constantly talking about that he must be some GM apologist

      1. Yup, because you don’t know how to drop it. Not every article has to be a big whine fest about you not having your new truck after you put your self in that situation by buying a newly released vehicle in these times. So yes, I and others will continue to blast you and others that in every news article complain about the failed roll out. News flash, it isn’t failed when tons are in peoples hands and GM was waiting on others to get them out to begin with.

        Carry on, we will see you in the next article about AC maintenance and how you come in and talk about a failed (fake news) roll out and how you don’t have your new truck yet.

        1. That’s very interesting I didn’t complain at all I was responding to another blogger but of course you got a throw your two cents in as always run along now go play in another sandbox
          I will put your argument to rest do yourself a favor go look on a lot of these articles and see if people aren’t complaining about the scenario do your homework oh that’s right, that would be common sense and apparently hummmm…….. must be just your screen name, but don’t understand what it is. It’s OK we get it.

        2. What dealership do you work at?
          Got any in stock?

          Reply
        3. This response is such a joke, this rollout has been a complete failure. GMauthority.com is just an arm of GM and balances the “inside scoop” with not bashing the failures.

      2. Does “commonsense” have nothing else better to do but troll EVERY thread and bash posters? Is there an admin looking at this?

        Reply
        1. some people need a sense of feeling important in their lives and a need to feel superior to others. “Commonsense” would be that person.

  4. My Z71 was built the 3rd week of Feb. It’s still sitting at the quarry near the plant. At the rate things are going, I’ll end up buying something else.

    GM has screwed up this product launch royally. Such a shame, seems like a decent truck.

    Reply
    1. So this is on GM then huh? GM controls the EPA? GM controls the transportation industry? GM controls the staffing levels? Yeah they don’t. All manufacturers are having these problems. Do you see any dealers lots from any brands that are full? No you don’t. Existing models are having constraints from all this stuff and chip production let alone new design models. So no, they didn’t screw anything up. They want you to have the vehicle and are doing everything they can. Nice try though…

      Reply
      1. No, but they can damn well be more transparent about when they expect to clean up this sh*t show of a launch. You’re clueless if you think they don’t have an internal schedule that shows when they expect to clear the backlog. By definition they must have one as a publicly traded company or they’d be unable to determine their quarterly financials.

        No one cares about the “why” or any of the excuses you want to make as a fan boi. We want to know within a reasonable range of outcomes when we can expect delivery of trucks that have been sitting for months. Then each person can decide if they want to wait or bail. See? Simple transparency with the paying customer.

        Next time try to understand the comment before making yourself look foolish.

      2. “they want you to have the vehicle” So nice try though? Wish in one hand, **** in the other and see what fills up first.

    2. My AT4 was build 2/28 and arrived at the dealer 5/8. They had no idea it was shipped to them. I picked it up the 9th.

      I must say that it is an excellent vehicle – well worth the wait for me. Hope you get yours soon.

  5. That’s ridiculous, find another supplier. GM needs new leadership now!

    Reply
    1. Yeah, that isn’t so easy. They have to vet and test when switching suppliers. GM leadership is doing well compared to the others. Sales are up, profits are up, stock prices are up, they aren’t heading in to bankruptcy or financial head winds. The leadership is the last thing that needs to change, that is more for the other manufacturers.

  6. So the spray on bed liner is under constraint. Apparently along with the rest of the truck.

    Reply
    1. Oh my gosh that is hilarious. Yes, definitely a very frustrating rule out to say the least.

    2. Good point BK!

  7. Glad I was able to purchase a 2022 Canyon Elevation a few weeks ago. Its loaded with just about every available option! Spray in bedliner, all leather heated seats and steering wheel, etc.

    Reply
  8. My 23 Canyon was ordered with a spray on liner in mid-December and built the first week of February. This article makes me think about my new truck sitting in a rock quarry with a beautiful bed liner that no one else can get. Sorry, but I have to find something to smile about during this sad rollout.

    1. Probably has hail damage.

    2. your bedliner is getting sun faded as we speak.

  9. The all new 2023 Chevrolet Colorado coming to a dealership near you in 2025…

  10. There are plenty of YouTube videos of buyers taking delivery of their 2023 Colorado trucks, so they are starting to be shipped out. While not available in mass amounts sitting on dealer lots, GM Is getting them shipped out to dealers.

    There are after market spray-on bedliner solutions as well. It isn’t the end of the world if it isn’t factory applied.

  11. Keep in mind, this unubtanium truck is now officially half way through it’s 2023 model year and you STILL don’t have it…. 🙄

    Reply
  12. Got my z71. Like it so far.

    Reply
  13. I guess that anyone waiting for a ZR2 does not need to worry about hail damage. Without spray-on-bedliner available perhaps will be many weeks before the first one is built?

    Am now pleased that I did not plunk down a deposit this month for a 2023 ZR2. Back to rethinking my options.

    Reply
  14. There are quality third party vendors who can spray in a bed liner if that option is a do or die thing for you. Yeah, it won’t have the GM installed warranty or be rolled into the finance package, but it is another way of getting it.

    Reply
  15. The dealer just did a dealer install spray in bed liner for me. No offense but I don’t care if it’s done at the factory or at the dealership. If it fails they fix it.

  16. 2023 glacier blue trail boss showed up at a dealer in Charlotte Nc May 19th dealer emailed me so went by to do a test drive and truck wasn’t pre delivery inspected couldn’t even test drive truck. What the heck is that all about. MSRP on window sticker says $37000 I asked for Otd out the door price told me $45575. I told them your crazy an $8575 above Msrp. I TOLD THEM truck not worth anything close to $45575. Truck looked nice but no way worth that much. Dealer wont negoaite the price either. Got my deposit back and left. What a joke this all has been.

    1. @Rick M. That’s f’d up. You did the right thing. I thought Ford markups were bad. Someone else will fall for it.
