Overview & Reviews
The Chevrolet Colorado is Chevy's entry in the highly competitive compact truck segment. Like its rivals, the Colorado is closer to midsize than truly compact. Accordingly, it offers a reasonable amount of hauling capability without the added cost and bulk of a full-size pickup. As is customary in this segment, Chevrolet offers extended-cab and four-door crew-cab layouts, multiple bed lengths and available off-road preparation.
Older versions of the Chevy Colorado could be worth a look if you need a basic work truck, but their four- and five-cylinder engines are weak for this class (though you may find a few examples with a robust optional V8 engine). Colorados from 2015 and later are dramatically better, with competitive powertrains, up-to-date technology features and a spacious interior.

First Colorado - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
By Jim Wisconsin - July 23 - 11:46 pmFor my use this truck has worked out great. Have all the bells on a Z71. Have 10k on it with no probs. Went from my 96 GMC S-15 with 200k on it. Im getting 21+ mpg on a mix of hiway/city. Not too bad compared to other makes (and it uses regular not prem. like some of the imports). The Z71 is a little tight and jiggly but it is an off road model, probably should have gone with the z85 suspension. Seats are not too short (i.e., good leg support) and with the leather option you can set it up for max comfort. Plenty of front leg room (Im 61). Good sound system.

Colorado proves to be a surprising ride! - 2005 Chevrolet Colorado
By Gil H - July 20 - 11:40 pmAt the time that I was shopping for a light duty truck I was impressed enough with the Chevy Colorado to take a chance at first glance. Sure there was a lot of history with US trucks in as much as how reliable they were compared to their Japanese competitors. For once, Im happy to report that I was right (thank goodness!) in my initial assessment of this impressive vehicle. After 63,000 miles my truck still rides fine, has been hassle free and has made me a believer. Its been just what Id hoped itd be and a bit more. A no-nonsense, get me there-and-back, reliable truck. Its not as fancy as most the others but I have to say Im really happy with my purchase.

Great Mid Size Truck - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
By bud - July 11 - 3:11 pmI have owned this truck for almost 2 years an it is the best truck I have owned an I have owned several. The 5 cylinder engine gives you the right amount of power for the size of the truck. The MPG for a 4x4 truck is great I get 18 city an 27 highway you can not ask for any better. I use this truck for hunting an I have had it in some tight places an it has performed great. If you use the truck properly an not abuse it you will have no trouble I have 34000 mile an not trouble.

Living with a 2005 Colorado - 2005 Chevrolet Colorado
By bonjonny - July 9 - 3:16 amThis truck runs good except it seems to always be looking for the right gear. If you run it hard, it runs good. The truck is comfortable for 2 adults. It has great style and looks. The paint and fit of fenders & doors is very good. The only problem Ive had so far is wind noise on pass side doors, and the radio sounds like the speakers are blown. It goes back to the garage this week because of these 2 problems. All in all its a pretty cool truck.

Almost perfect mid-size truck - 2005 Chevrolet Colorado
By Ed - July 8 - 2:53 pmThe Colorado has great pulling power as I am a landscaper and have no trouble consistently towing 3000+ pds.The gas mileage for city driving while pulling my trailer is a consistent 14 mpg.17 mpg if not towing in city.24 mpg in highway driving. I have the inline 5 cylinder engine, and it provides better acceleration than my 4-wheel drive,351cu.-in. full size truck! That truck gets 8mpg pulling trlr in city compared to my colorados 14mpg. The gas savings alone are paying for the chevy...The only drawback to this model is the seats are really not very comfortable, and the passing gear relly jerks your head rearward if you stomp on the gas to get around someone.My favorite part of truck is looks!

Excellent Small Pickup - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
By Pete M - June 27 - 2:00 amMy Colorado came with the I5, auto, buckets and the ext. cab. I spend countless hours in my truck. Contrary to the pro reviews, I find nothing wrong with the interior design/materials. Compared to Japanese branded trucks, the quality difference in materials was negligible. Every part on this truck is aligned as expected and the body panels are perfectly matched and spaced. The ride is wonderful, the truck goes exactly where you point it, and doesnt wander over bumpy roads. Dodge, Toyota and Nissan trucks were nice, but not near as good. GM got it right, this is an excellent truck.

Sweeeeet! - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
By Moe the Dog - June 27 - 2:00 amWhere has this truck been all my life? It has both power and fuel efficiency. The ride is so smooth that you sometimes forget your in a truck. If your in the market buy this truck immediately.

By till - June 27 - 2:00 ampurchased my colorado in dec 2003 took it on a long drive (ohio to florida) the following so i got a pretty good test drive handles pretty well i think a 6cly would be better suited for the size on the crew cab 4x4 but the 5cly is under powered you can tell ther should be more there when your in traffic and want to pass and changing lanes could have done more with the wheels the dull gray is just kind of bla

A great new truck from Chevy - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
By omowasu - June 27 - 2:00 amI test drove this truck today, and WOW, GM has designed a great new smaller pickup. I personally found it to be a much better truck than the Dakota. The Colorado gets much, much better mileage than the Dakota. Also, the Colorado handles better and accelerates superbly. Granted, you can get the Dakota with a V8, but why would you want to suck up the 13mpg?
