Standout Truck with reliability to match

I looked at several different makes and models but always kept coming back the Colorado. This truck feels solid and looks good. I've only had it for a short while but I can say I look forward to many year with this truck.

Awesome truck I love it

One of my most favorite vehicles I ever owned. Have wanted one for years , only set back is I wish the were a little less expensive. The difference in price between the full size and Colorado version is pretty small.

3 week owner

Very poor door storage, shallow pockets. 4cyl 6spd auto downshifts a lot to maintain set speed. Auto dimming rearview standard would have been nice in LT. Should let you have for weekend to see if a full size would be better. I'm a police officer and I'm short and I in sit the truck alot and its difficult to get in. Love remote start. 1st vehicle in 16 yes. 2000 Nissan frontier crewcab doesn't seem so cramp. Oh well, paperwork done.

I gave only one star because I only drove it one time. Lavery Chevrolet never called as they said they would. It was a terrible buying experience.

A truck that averages 27mpg?!

Very impressed all around. If you don't need a full size truck but want to tow a 25' boat and have plenty of room for the kids...this is it. It's basically an SUV that has a bed liner and can pull 7600 lbs.

Great looking midsize truck!

Loading with the latest technology. Solid truck with a great ride. I get many compliments on the looks of the truck. Plenty of power, but the 6 speed transmission seems sluggish at lower speeds. Overall a great truck. I would recommend to anyone!

Best truck I've ever owned!!

This truck gets me up a mountain to get to my hunting spots and is a smooth ride during the work week. Technology on this inside is great and styling on the outside is excellent. I feel like I got a lot of features as functionality for the price. I have owned 2 tacomas, but the new colorado is the best truck I've had.

Very pleased with my purchase

I purchased my Colorado LT (V6) in late May of this year to replace a 2004 Dakota. At this time (December) it just turned 10,000 miles. My combined average mileage is just a hair under 20 mpg which I am happy with. The best my Dakota did was about 19 hwy, 14 or so in town. The Colorado gives a smooth, solid ride and much more quiet then the Dakota. Shifting is smooth, plenty of power to spare and and the vehicle seems to hold the road very well. The interior is good, although hard to keep the seats clean. The storage compartments in the doors are low and narrow and difficult to access but will do. The Iphone connectivity works well and very convenient. I did not opt for the OnStar package after the free subscription ran out. Great truck, fair price. Would do it again.

Mid Size Truck King

I just bought a 2016 Z71 Diesel Long Bed after my 2002 F150 gave up the ghost. I looked at several options, including the Silverado and F150s, but I liked the smaller truck feel with most of the capability of a full size. The over the top selling point was the diesel engine in a mid-size, which is a step in the right direction. I will update this down the road, but so far I love this truck. There are a few small issues I have, but all are minor: -Seats seem small side to side, but they are not uncomfortable. -Drivers foot well is deep, but narrow. This is a small problem if you have big feet like I do. -Truck is slightly sluggish right off the line, but it picks up quickly. -And finally, and worst of all, the front air dam is ridiculous. I took it off and it is ten times better. Also, I will be adding a 2" leveling kit for the front, which will make it look perfect in my opinion. Other than that, I have zero problems. Love this truck.
