Should I Buy the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado?

This generation of the Colorado is getting up in years, but it remains a good truck that’s worth a look thanks to its range of engines and impressive off-road and towing capabilities in certain configurations. The base four-cylinder engine is sluggish, however, and there are some cheap-looking cabin materials.
