2018 Chevrolet Colorado consumer reviews

The 2018 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Off-Road is one of the most well-rounded midsize trucks on the road. The V6 engine delivers strong, smooth, and linear acceleration with plenty of power on demand—whether merging on the highway, towing, or navigating rough terrain. It feels confident and responsive without being harsh or overworked. This truck is loaded with features that make it just as comfortable as it is capable. The black leather interior is well-appointed and durable, while the Bose premium sound system provides excellent clarity and punch—far better than standard factory audio. Apple CarPlay integration is seamless, making navigation, music, and hands-free calling effortless. The Z71 Off-Road package adds real-world functionality, not just badging. With its upgraded suspension, off-road tuning, and rugged stance, the Colorado handles snow, gravel, and uneven roads with ease while still driving smoothly and quietly on pavement. Overall, the 2018 Colorado Z71 strikes an ideal balance between performance, comfort, and versatility. It’s a truck that feels equally at home as a daily driver, workhorse, or weekend adventure vehicle—and it does all of it with style and confidence.

Just got my 2018 Chevy Colorado a few weeks ago and it has been amazing! Gas mileage is great for a truck (18mpg) and I can even get more out of it in the city (20-22 mpg)!! Also not too expensive to fill up either, only ~$40 for a full tank!

I have had only 2 warranty issues. Both were immediately taken care of with no other issues on the truck. This has been the best vehicle I have owned out of 21 vehicles in my life. The comfort, power, features and dependability is why I gave it 5 Stars! I have roughly 59, 000 miles on it and I drive it every day. The gas mileage is 30MPG at 55 MPH!! I regularly get 23-25 on the highway at 65. Overall I get a real 16.5 in the city, and 24 on the Highway. My truck has been babied and kept clean at all times. No dogs, no kids, and I am happy with it.

Transmission shutter at 56k. Had Transmission fluid flushed. GM refused to pay stating it's maintenance., yet the owners manual stats flush at 72k. They are aware of the problem but refuse to stand behind it. Cost me $ 694 for the flush. Oh ya, the fluid that was installed from the factory is the reason it had to be flushed. It's replaced with a different fluid that is supposed to fix the shutter. No more General Motors products for me. They are junk.

Very nice truck. One problem is the key will not go to the off position when in park. This doesn't happen every day but way too often. Extremely inconvenient and apparently doesn't seem to be a solution. This has been happening to other chevrolet trucks since 2015. It should be solved and be put on a recall list.

Just bought a ZR2 pre- driven. Was most expensive car I have owned at $35000 used. After two days transmission began that shutter shaking. Brought it back and dealer played dumb, left me with no truck for three days. I was the one to tell them about the GM fluid flush. They say they did not ever hear of that but acted like they were doing me a big favor to flush the trans fluid. Just drove it home and it's even worse! This is horrible!

the computer screen has ben flipping from 50000 miles on .waiting on a recall. it seems like a easy fix but a 600 dollar part. The thermastat failed at 70000 mi. costing around 700.00 dollars. i cant recommend this truck it seems like chevy has a contract with car sheilds for memberships.always liked chevys not anymore.

Transmission problem wouldn’t fix it It’s a headache electrical problem with it also ride likexxxx built bad know there a issue my problem not their

Bought this truck used. It’s a crew cab z71 midnight edition. The styling and ride are great and fuel mileage is ok, thought it might be a little better for a v6. Interior is very nice and has lots of features. The radio is somewhat confusing to use at first and wish you could store stations for different bands instead of having them all in a row

Tom was very helpful in getting me into a Chevy Colorado 2018. He really works with you to make sure you are happy with the purchase/
