Awesome Truck

I have had my Colorado for about 6 months now and love it! It drives great, gets good gas milage for a truck (avg 22 mpg city and highway). It hauls quite a bit for a mid-size truck as well. Anytime I hop in this truck to drive, it always puts a smile on my face.

Awesome Truck!

I love my 2017 Chevy Colorado. It drives great, gets good gas, and looks great! It Holds value well! The new 8 speed automatic shifts good, and the truck has plenty of hauling power with the 3.6l v6. I can take this thing just about anywhere.

Good, Reliable Small Pick-up Truck

This is the first truck I have owned. I wasn't looking for a larger truck, but was looking for a smaller, reliable truck that I could fit my kids in (comfortably) as well. So far, I am happy with the truck. The interior size is good for what I need, and exterior wise, it is a sharp looking truck.

Big, but no too big

This truck meets my needs - have to tow a small sports car to Virginia; the 4 cylinder engine can handle the job.

The long bed is a winner!

The long bed crew cab Colorado Z71 is the best truck I have ever owned. The quality is outstanding. The power is there when you need it. The longer wheel base makes a big difference in smoothing out the ride. The longer bed makes the truck look better overall. Test drive one yourself.

Just purchased and love it!

I gave up my beloved Toyota Tacoma several years ago and have been dying to get another truck. Fast forward 12 years and now I have a 5 year old and 2 year old. I basically need to haul kids and pine straw. I looked at F-150's and Silverados but they were way to big (I have to fit in a garage) and expensive. As for other mid-size trucks, the Tacomas just seemed a bit to sporty and "teenagery" for me and others were just not appealing. My dad has a 2015 Colorado and I really liked the way it looked and drove. I started watching the prices and they dropped to lowest I had seen this month, with Chevy rebates, so I made the plunged and purchased it! I absolutely love it. As for the appearance, the Colorado hits the sweet spot between a standard run-of-the mill work truck and a sport truck. It just has a great look to it. Not to flashy and not to boxy. Just right for me. Performance wise, I haven't been disappointed so far, but I haven't had for that long and I haven't taken it off road yet. It drives great. Tacomas and other mid-size trucks I tested drove like economy class cars. You feel like you're driving a truck with the Colorado. It rides great around town and on the interstate. Plenty of power. Gas mileage has been great so far. I got the Z71 package with upgraded infotainment package (8 inch screen), including nav and Bose speakers. While I could get by without the nav and Bose, I would highly suggest getting the 8 inch screen version. It's an amazing piece of tech to have in a vehicle. Apple CarPlay works flawlessly. My only problem is with certain aspects of the interior. It's great in that both car seats for the kids fit in comfortably, but side door panels are way to small and not convenient to use. Also, the center console is just a huge box and there is no change holder. The one improvement Chevy could make here is redesigning these areas to make them more useful. It certainly isn't a deal breaker. The seats are also extremely comfortable. I got a great deal so I feel like I got a great value for my truck. I would probably feel the same if I had spend 1-2k more.

Can't get the transmission to shift w/o bucking

Does anyone have the same problem? I have 1672 mos on truck and the only time it drives correctly is what it's in cruise control.
