2017--2022 Chevrolet Colorado - 3.6L - Advantage+

I watched some videos on YouTube that had positive reviews but difference in just a small power boost and the transmission shift tuning woke up my sleep truck. I also had a fast experience from purchase to having the tune in my truck and driving in less than five days ( and that’s getting it to Canada eh!)

Thanks!

Installed the "Advantage + tune with AFM disabled in Sport mode" to my 2022 Colorado Z71 Midnight Edition Shortbed Crew Cab a month ago, and running on 91 Octane.
Other minor mods include Cold Air Intake and Wind Booster Throttle Controller set to "Sport 9."

Truck is actually fun to drive, and the performance since the tune has been impressive for a V6 midsize truck.
Mileage has also improved from 18mpg to 22mpg.

Thank you for the outstanding boost in performance and mileage, Trifecta!

So far I'm only at 10000 miles, and only been on the tune for roughly 1000 miles. 
We'll see how it holds up as I put more miles on her.

I will keep this short and to the point. Other than a Flowmaster muffler, my 2022 Colorado ZR2 truck is stock in regard to performance and drivetrain and tires. I couldn't be happier with the Advantage+ tune. Living in Colorado Springs at almost 7K feet elevation, the truck was especially underpowered in the thin air. In sport mode with the new tune, it's definitely NOT a racecar but the overall drivability is so much better. The throttle response and shift points just make it much more responsive and I don't feel like I have to try so hard to keep up with the normal flow of traffic. The ability to change modes on the fly is awesome and you can really feel the difference between Eco Mode and Sport Mode on the butt dyno. Even my wife said that she can tell the truck is more responsive from the passenger seat. Buy a Trifecta tune asap!!!!

I installed the adv+ program over a year ago. I have had no issues with the software. I have loved the increased power. It is definitely worth the money to me. 

The Trifecta tune has been a huge upgrade to the Truck. The throttle response is greatly improved, regardless of what mode it is in. There's a massive difference in low-mid range torque. Mix in the torque with changes to the transmission tuning, and it's much better around town and cruising on the freeway (no more downshifts because of a minor elevation change on the freeway). It also made my tire change a breeze. MPH, MPG are spot on. I am getting better gas mileage even after upgrading to 32's with a harsher tread pattern.

Absolutely recommend this tune if you have a Canyon or Colorado. 

Just installed Advantage + tune and even though I have only taken a test run I can already feel that the sluggishness is gone. The transmission shift points are perfect for My 2022 Colorado Bison V6 and sport mode is how a ZR2 should have come from the factory. Easy install and great service from Trifecta. Time will tell if it was worth the price and I will review again in a month or two 

I have to praise trifect for providing such a necessary upgrade.  I paired this tune with GM cold air intake and Borla S-type cat back exaust. The intake and exaust had little effect after installation, besides added sound. 

The tune was instantly noticeable and  without doubt a huge improvement over stock.  The other comments here explain all the benefits. 

Needles to say, I am stoked that I have two mean trifeta tuned Chevys in my garage.  Thank you team Trifecta. 

Best decision and upgrade I've made on my Chevy Colorado!!! The added power is definitely noticable. It's not a throw you in your seat kind of upgrade, but the shifting points are much smoother, the added torque definitely helps in towing my cargo trailer, and I've already seen a +2mpg in fuel economy in the short time I've had the tune installed. This is how the truck should perform right from the factory no question. The whole process was streamline and uploading the tune to my truck was very quick and easy. Took 15min total once the tune was downloaded on my laptop and then hooked up to my truck. Absolutely recommend this upgrade on your vehicle! You won't be disappointed!! 

If you're paranoid about purchasing this tune, stop right now and read this.

I was extremely paranoid about purchasing this tune for my 2021 ZR2 as I found it hard to believe that it would be done correctly and wouldn't cause any damage without Trifecta physically having my modules and writing these calibrations directly to them. I had tons of conversations with Michael about this tune prior to buying it and at no point did he get irritated with all of my questions and requests for the tune. I was very concerned about the performance enhancement (sport mode) and them recommending that the vehicle would run best on premium fuel after the tune was completed. The vehicle running better on 91 octane would only tell me one thing; The engine in running hotter and needs fuel that can resist higher combustion temperatures. This fact didn't settle well wth me so I constantly nagged Michael about what could be done and whether they could tune the truck to have the tune off at all times since I only wanted my shift schedules, gear ratio and speedometer to be corrected. He ensured me that they could program the vehicle to be running with stock performance (in eco mode) at all times and I'd just have to put a request in my notes when updating my calibrations. I constantly requested re-assurance from Michael and even though I hadn't purchased the tune yet, he never hesitated to respond or give me the detailed re-assurance I needed. I purchased the Advantage+ tune as needed to correct for my new gear ratio and speedometer after installing 35's. I just installed the tune today and as requested, there is no performance mode on the truck. There is no change in performance when I switch from eco to sport mode (which is what I requested) and the truck feels like it knows what its doing again after changing the gears and tire size. The cruise control has also returned as I lost that once I changed the gear ratio. The install took about 5 minutes and the truck runs fantastic. I'm very happy I made the decision to go with Trifecta for correcting the data for the modifications I have made to the truck as the software is easy to use, convenient, truck performs great and fantastic customer service. I'll definitely recommend Trifecta to any friends that want a tune done on their Colorado as I'm very satisfied with the results 🤘

This tune is not holy smokes there is a supercharger under the hood but the team at Trifecta know what they are doing (GM should hire them).  Throttle response and seat of the pants feel is incredible, what this truck should of been from factory.  This is one of the last mods I did and it should have been the first, if you are like me and a little hesitant don't be, you will not regret it.  This tune is an absolute must, now my truck is a truly a joy to drive.  I had a few questions and the response from Trifecta was immediate, great job on the tune and thank you Trifecta!

I’ve got a 2018 Colorado ZR2 with the MBRP cat Back Exhaust and a Volant Power Core intake. I installed the Tune on the the 4th and have been very pleased with the results. I opted to keep the AFM feature on in Eco mode, and I’m still very pleased with how the truck drives now.

I’m running 91 octane with the Tune, even though it does say it’s adaptive with 89 might as well run the top fuel so I get the max gains. In Eco mode it makes the truck feel zippy, and in Sport mode I have surprised and even beat some cars that should have had no issue out pacing an off-road purpose built truck. 

I do plan on throwing a supercharger on the truck in the future, until then I am going to take full advantage of the Trifecta tune, and get one for the wife’s Terrain as well. Highly recommend this tune, don’t waist your time with pedal commanders just go Trifecta. 

2017 chevy Colorado I am very impressed makes my truck fun to drive and makes my transmission shift way better anybody out there with a Colorado should get this now!!!

I trifecta tuned my 2021 ZR2 Colorado and was amazed at the difference. 1)Better throttle response. 2) 1st and 2nd gear feel much better. 3) Sport/Eco/Tow is a great feature. Everything as advertised. I was especially impressed with the customer service! The process was easy but I hit a snag with the software and the trifecta team responded in a timely and helpful manner. Would recommend to anyone!!!

5 STARS.  Advantage+ on my 2021 Bison with about 11,100 miles and I love it.  Wish I didn't wait until 2,000 miles to buy it.  Don't hesitate, this tune is worth every penny.  I just decided I wanted AFM disabled full time and the request process is incredibly fast and easy.  Excellent customer support!

2018 Colorado 3.6L Advantage+  AFM disabled. 

Only had tune for two days now and definately can tell a difference. No more shift lags when taking off from a stop. The throttle response is more aggressive and transmission shifts smoother. Even while towing my trailer and atv down a dirt road I can feel the power taking off. When switching to cruise/Eco it still seems to perform better than factory settings. It's too early to determine the mpg's, but well worth the money over the sluggish factory and ability to disable the AFM. 

I've always had full size half ton trucks with V8's. I love the power and the sound and for me, that's an important part of the driving experience. That said, I hated not being able to park in my garage and navigating urban streets and parking lots with a 20' long truck. I really wanted to like the mid-sized Colorado or Canyon or Tacoma but it just felt like such a drastic step down in power I couldn't get myself to make the switch.

A few months ago I finally bit the bullet and bought a ZR2 Bison Colorado. It's a cool looking truck and I figured I'd just get used to the reduced power. While searching through the Colorado fan forums there seemed to be a lot of people very happy with the Trifecta tune so I had to try it and I sure am glad I did. I'm amazed at the difference this tune made to the throttle response, acceleration and shifting and I now feel like I have the best of both worlds, minus that V8 rumble  I would recommend the Trifecta tune to anyone with a 3.6L V6 Colorado/Canyon. If I had known about this sooner I would have bought one of these trucks 5 years ago! 

Well I waited a while to write this because I wanted to see how it did with all grades if gas and in both modes as well as how hard I stay in the pedal well I can say this is a great time I can see where some mods could be made to make it better like it is alittle rough going uphill at about 30 the acceleration is not smooth at all and exhaust sounds bad but becides for that and smoothing out the eco mode acceleration would be all I can say could make this any better and gas mileage GM driving easy in eco my best average was 32mpg and driving in sport mode is just a blast it pulls through all gears

Meets most expectations

The Advantage Plus has met all of my expectation on ease of use, ease of installation and speedometer calibration, however has come up a little short on performance and value.  While there is a noticeable difference is throttle response and shift points there are some deficiencies that are bothersome to me in my application. The most noticeable and disappointing is the performance while using cruise control. When setting my cruise control at any speed the speed can vary as much as 4 - 5 miles an hour both under and over the set speed. This is not only annoying to me but to others traveling behind or in front of me on the same roads.  I have seen drops in fuel mileage in "economy" mode while using cruise control and without but in all fairness this could be the nature of my build not the tune.  Overall I would say the ratio of price to overall performance is average while customer support and client services are well above average. I would consider this product for a different build and vehicle but I would not recommend it for a similar vehicle or build as mine.

First thing I did after collecting the '19 Zr2 was add the Advantage + tune to the truck. I did a fly and drive and drove 500 miles or so without the tune, and now have another 1,500 miles on the truck include a 1,200 mile road trip. 

I mostly drive in the eco-mode which is so much better than the stock truck, better shifts and improved drivability. Have a buddy with a matching truck and the side by side difference in how the truck drives is very noticeable with the Trifecta being the clear choice. 

The end to end process is quick and easy. 

If you are even considering a tune, do not hesitate to add the Trifecta tune. 

Awesome product. My 2019 Colorado was running pretty good but just seemed sluggish under certain conditions.After uploading tune the difference was immediately noticeable. Throttle response is pleasantly enhanced. Acceleration is smooth and transmission shift points almost unnoticeable, except under hard acceleration. The takeoff hesitation is all but gone, which was my major complaint about my Colorado. I also gained a couple mpg. That was surprising considering how aggressively I have been driving. I use the economy mode most of the time but “play” occasionally in sport mode, with auto 4 wheel turned on to keep rear wheels from too much spinning. Highly recommend this product!

DO NOT WAIT to purchase this tune. The folks at Trifecta Performance have hit the nail on the head and sunk it in 1 swing. I love my Colorado. I've been wanting a Tacoma for nearly 30 years. Once I finally finished paying child support. I used the money saved to buy myself my dream truck. After test driving every type of Midsize pickup truck. I fell in love with the Colorado. It handles better, more comfortable, and much better drivability, or so I thought. I did notice that it took forever to get my truck to downshift and that slight throttle changes seemed to tax an engine that has plenty of power. I read about using a Cold Air intake and Cat-back to help get a little more throttle response and power out of the 3.6L v-6. I installed the Cold-Air intake and did get a noticeable increase in power, throttle response and sound. It still wasn't hitting where I wanted. The guys at Trifecta Performance have done their homework. The truck in sport mode wants to take off like a stallion. You can tell a huge increase in 1st gear take off. It holds the power curve by using every bit of the RPM now. My Colorado just wants to get going, even with your foot barely on the pedal. This tune makes my truck so much fun to drive, and it didn't hit my gas mileage. Before the tune I would get 15-16 MPG in city and 20-21 MPG on the highway. After the tune in Sport mode. I get 18-19 MPG in city and 22-23 MPG on Highway. This was with my foot as far down on the pedal as it would go. I am in love with my truck all over again. I love Sport mode so much. That I haven't even barely used ECO mode. I did test the Tow mode with my 4,000 lbs 19FT camp trailer. It has much better torque and the transmission actually stays in the sweet spot for torque curve. Before it would constantly need my foot all the way down to even accelerate a small amount, but after the tune in Tow mode. I barely need to hit the gas to accelerate and it has noticeably more torque. It doesn't want to shift into 8th gear at 30 MPH. Then it hits the right gear to keep the RPM between 3,000 and 4,000. I can't say enough good about what this product provides. I have only put about 400 miles on my truck since the tune, but can't seem to find a down side to any of the settings in this tune. Thank you very much for helping to make my truck so much fun. I am still gonna install a good Cat-Back since this stock truck has almost no exhaust sound and I want it to sound like a truck. Plus a 40 horse increase is gonna be great with this new tune.  I bought the Advantage+ knowing that I already have purchased a 3 inch front 2 inch back lift, but waiting for my 35,000 mile warranty to run out. I can't wait to see what the lift and bigger tires do for 4 wheeling. It will be nice to get a tune to help with speedometer and ratio adjustments. I am a very satisfied customer and I will recommend Trifecta Performance to any of my GM driving friends. My only complaint is I can't afford my Camaro SS to test their tune on. Maybe in the next couple of years.

Running on 91 octane

I recently started reading about upgrades that people were doing to their Colorados on the forums site.  I’ve done most of the other upgrades already like lights, wheels, etc.  I’ve never done a tune on my vehicles and now I’m sad that I hadn’t.  After downloading this tune for my truck, I would have loved to have it done on my previous Chevys as well.  Driving over the grapevine in to Los Angeles, I certainly feel the power when I’m going up the hill.  It’s allowed me to get myself out of some pretty uncomfortable situations.  I mash on the gas, and this thing MOVES!  I love how quick the response is now.  I usually drive in ECO mode when I’m on the highway, but there have been a couple of times that I switched it off just to get in and out of traffic.  The power seems instant now.  I certainly wish I would have found this sooner. 

This is well worth the cost.  Love how my truck performs now and may upgrade now that I’m moving out of CA and can get an intake legally as well as an exhaust system.  

2018 Colorado ZR2 3.6L, 35's, 4.10 Gears:  The Advantage tune has been great!  Can feel significant improvement in performance (and sound of engine) in sport mode, and in eco mode it is nice to have my cruise control back.  I did have an unrelated Service 4wd error, so I removed the tune, back to the stock config, took it to the dealership, they could not determine the problem and had to work directly with Chevrolet, who step by step went through all the wiring, switches, sensors, tubes, and did not find a problem.  Then Chevrolet said to replace the Encoder Shift Actuator, and that finally solved the problem.  No tune detected, all work done under bumper to bumper warranty.

Awesome tune Trifecta!

Thanks!

PS it would be really great if you could figure a way to allow cruise control in sport mode, as well as using it in eco!

The tune really made my truck what it should of been from the factory. In sport mode there is a definite power upgrade plus a more smoother transmission shifting! Definitely recommend!

Thanks for the tune, its done everything I needed (speedo and gearing recal) and given me some noticeable power as well improved the drivability of my truck.
