AMAZING TRUCK!

This was a beautiful truck, it has all equipped features and it's super comfortable inside! I just wish I could've afforded it. They're super nice people but I just didn't want to refinance another vehicle with my three kids. I would definitely go for it if I could.

I love it

Good diesel fuel millage . Excellent color. Hot red. Back up camera works great. Heated seats are great for the winter. On star and radio are great. When I go to Canada I can switch from US to Metric fast.

Diesel Colorado

For obvious reasons the diesel doesn?t scream off the line but it?s still a great truck and I prefer it over the Silverado any day.

Just the right size

Having driving only compact vehicles for over 20 years I needed a tow vehicle for a travel trailer and thought I would have to buy a full size pick-up. However, this vehicle has all the features I need for my new travel trailer without having to buy a full size vehicle and is far easier to drive with. Great payload, small turning radius.. This mid-size truck has an amazing 7,000 lb GVR towing rate and gives me everything I need without having to obtain a full size pickup. Excellent on gas, did not want v8 or a 4 cylinder engine. This V6 has lots of torque and over 300 hp.

I loved my new Colorado at first..

I loved my 2017 Colorado at first.. I have 8300 miles on it.The paint does not hold up well. Seems like it scratches just looking at it. It seems squirmy in high winds. The hood constantly bounces up and down but it is fully latched. My oil line had a crack in it and had to get it repaired...factory issue I guess- dealership fixed My tire pressure in one tire kept losing air..hairline hole..dealership fixed. There is no dash indicator for your 4WD so you have to look down at the dial to see if it is or not which is not in plain sight. Had issue with my dash screen..would not scroll to next screen..I will more than likely be trading her in as soon as the new Ford Rangers come out. I do like the size, the backup camera and the stereo.

Great truck!

Love driving my 2017 crew cab wt with appearance pack, and convieance pack only complaint is it feels like sometimes I have tire issue like a tire might be out of balance. Overall worth the money.

I Am Impressed

Beyond my expectations for comfort and performance. Fuel mileage is incredible. Interior is very nice, more like a sedan than a pick up, onboard info system and entertainment system much more user friendly than my wifes Rv4 Limited.

Wish I bought a Tacoma

I bought this truck over the Tacoma mainly for the Apple CarPlay feature and it turned out to be a feature I almost never use. Here are the main issues I have with the truck: 1) Occasionally shifts extremely rough when down shifting. Imagine driving a manual and shifting from 2nd to 1st at about 20 mph and just dropping the clutch. It's scary sometimes. I haven't even asked the dealer to look at it because every other person I've talked to or read about online says there is no fix. 2) Bluetooth audio will momentarily pause almost every time I drive the truck. It's pretty consistent. About 2 minutes in the music will pause for a few seconds and then continue. Bluetooth isn't new. I've had older cars that work flawlessly. 3) There are not enough standard tie down anchors in the bed. They put plenty of useless holes back there with crappy plastic caps that come flying off at freeway speeds. I guess that's where the mounts were supposed to go for real trucks? 4) The "air dam" (that little plastic fairing under the bumper) which supposedly improves fuel economy is the ugliest, dumbest thing I've seen on a truck. I can barely clear a parking curb.. in a truck.. It can be removed, but the dealer wanted $290. I'll do it myself one of these days. 5) Lack of standard features - no keyless ignition and no blindspot warning sensors. I assumed these were standard on any new vehicle. Obviously I knew this when I bought it, but every payment I make I'm reminder of what little I got. Bottom line, I'm just not thrilled about what I got for $32k. I'm seriously considering selling for a Tacoma already and I've only had it for about 6 months. If those issues don't bother you, the interior is nice and it is comfortable. The microphone works well on the freeway when taking calls (little road noise complaints). That's about it.. those are the only good things I have to say about this truck.
