Overview & Reviews

For 2010, the Chevrolet Colorado sees a shuffling of trim levels and gains head curtain airbags as standard across the board. But it also loses a few features, such as the previously available sunroof and, on extended-cab models, leather bucket seats.

• Affordable, composed handling on- and off-road, varied engine choices.

• Mediocre towing capacity without V8 option, subpar fit and finish inside.

  Dont listen to the "experts"--this is a great truck! - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By sldl04 - June 8 - 9:59 am

  Since I dont need a full-size truck, I moved from a 99 GMC Sierra to the Colorado. I bought this one used with 45,000 miles and I must say that I love this truck. I think I have a rare model, since it has the leather option with the LT2 trim level, which usually comes with the LT3 trim. The best thing that I ended up with in this truck is the optional 5.3L V8. In a mid-size truck like this one, the power to weight ratio is unbelievable. 300hp and 320 ft/lbs of torque is on tap and I can tow up to 6000 lbs with it. The experts are idiots--they slammed this truck in their reviews, but on average, the owners have given very high reviews.

  DONT LISTEN TO TEST REVIEWS? - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By dchronister - April 4 - 5:50 pm

  TEST REVIEWS ARE NOT VERY KIND TO THIS PICKUP?? I HAD A 2004 EXT 4CYL. LIKED IT ALOT. AND UPGRADED TO A I-5 4WD EXT. I HAVE OWNED FOR 15 MONTHS, NO PROBLEMS,GOOD FUEL ECONOMY,COMFORTABLE,GREAT LOOKS WITH THE LT2 PACKAGE! I DROVE A FORD RANGER,TACOMA,FRONTIER,AND DAKOTA...... THEY ALL HAVE THIER ATTRIBUTES, AND DIS-LIKES. THE COLORADO SEEMED TO BE THE RIGHT CHOICE THE 2ND TIME AROUND.....I HAVE NO REGRETS....READ THE PEOPLES REVIEWS WHO OWN THESE TRUCKS .....NOT CONSUMER REPORTS,ECT.... FOR SOME REASON THEY THINK THIER SUPPOSE TO DRIVE LIKE A CAR, AND HANDLE LIKE A SPORTS CAR??? ITS A TRUCK, AND A GREAT ONE AT THAT. ASK COLORAD OWNERS,NOT EXPERTS WHO TEST THEM AND GIVE THIER OPINION?

  Dont buy - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By Not Happy - November 15 - 2:00 am

  Do not buy this vehicle. If you only have a 10 minute drive to and from work OK but as long as it doesnt snow. Dont worry about talking on your cell phone. There is so much interior noise at times you cant. Only good thing, I didnt have to pay for it. The price is our of line with quality. Poor gas mileage, only gets 19mph with the inline 5cyl. Rough ride and uncomfortable seats. Could this be one reason why Chevy needed a bail-out.

  2010 colorado Z71 - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By Jeff - August 24 - 3:29 pm

  Purchased in February 2010 (actually Oct/09) was told delivery would be 6-8 weeks, it arrived in 17 weeks. Love the trucks styling, and comfort but, have had rear spring bushings replaced, wiper transmission replaced, wiper switch replaced and front wind- shield re-sealed. Still have a "clunk" noise when turning corners, all before 2,400 km. 4,100 km now but gas mileage is poor, 17 city, 21 highway [mpg]. I drive it nice not hard.

  V8 power - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By Tom - August 18 - 10:36 am

  Love the looks, interior is very comfortable, mileage isnt bad for a v8 with 4WD. Especially like the V8 power. Have had no problems at all in this first year of ownership.

  V-8 power and great styling - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By Tom - August 18 - 10:18 am

  Bought new Aug. 09 with V8 and 4WD. Ive had more compliments on this vehicle than on any Ive ever owned. V8 power is great and mileage isnt bad.Very comfortable to drive, my ONLY complaint in over a year of ownership is interior wind noise at highway speeds. Ive had no problems at all so far.

  Great Truck - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By BestShopper - August 8 - 7:53 am

  This is my second Colorado Z71 Crew Cab. Loved my 2004, so bought another one. Based on my research, it has the best mileage in its class. Ride is great for a truck. People often comment on the nice ride. Back seat is very roomy.

  First Impressions - 2010 Colorado - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By Martin - May 22 - 5:04 am

  I just purchased a new Colorado after owning an S-10 for the last seven years and 160K miles. I did a great deal of research prior to my purchase, focusing mainly on the Tacoma, Frontier and Colorado. Both the Nissan and Toyota received higher reviews from the auto experts, but the consumer reviews were mostly positive for the Colorado. I have only driven this new vehicle for a couple of weeks and my initial impression is that I like it...very much. I drove all three and the Colorado seemed to have what I was looking for. I loved my S-10 and if I enjoy the Colorado half as much, it will have been a great purchase.

  My New Colorado - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By Mike - May 11 - 2:05 pm

  I like the handling. It seems to respond better to the touch. The power is quite good. I like the roomy cab. I dont usually carry 3 in the front but now have enough room to do so. The rider can stretch out and is less cramped than in my old S-10. I seem to ride higher and get a better view of whats going on around me. My wife likes this feature.

  Great Little Truck - 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
  By Diane - April 22 - 8:00 pm

  I loved my 05 Colorado so much I bought a 2010. It is a great little truck. Though the automatic "bogs down" if you tromp on the gas peddle too hard too fast(something that did not happen with the manual transmission in the 05), the performance is good, gas mileage is good, and the truck is very comfortable to drive. The interior is roomy even though it is not an extended cab. It is a basic truck that meets my hauling needs without the expensive bells and whistles, and I recommend the Colorado to anyone needing a smaller pickup that does the job.
