It's reliable in all weather I plan on driving it until it won't run

It has 192,580 miles the train motion is starting to slip from first to second. That's the only thing that is wrong

Candace T

Great truck, lots of room, great for animal lovers

I love my truck it has the space of a car with a bed would make a great family truck. It is great for taking dogs for a ride or swim. Makes getting food a space saver kids will love to sit in back was great to watch fireworks in. Helps moving friends or picking up large things

2010 Chevy Colorado work truck great for daily driving and light hauling.

The truck performs very well. It can travel about 150 miles on a half tank. The bed is a little short to hold ladders easily with a tool box installed. The error messages (low fuel, tire pressure, change oil, etc) are all displayed on a small screen above the mileage. If there is more than one message it slowly scrolls through each one, this means that it is easy to miss when the fuel message comes on.

Laura M

My truck does just what I want it too.

Cons: starting issues and the front brake system. Pros: great gas mileage, roomy but small which is just what I wanted.

Brandon D

Innovation and style with exceeding performance.

High quality and durable for the value. The vehicle is fuel efficient, and does not experience major maintenance problems with responsible oil changes. All terrain readiness, and very reliable throughout any season provides the vehicle with versatility.

Gideon K

I really love my Chevrolet because it does not give me problem, it is 100% reliable in performance.

Am looking forward to buy the latest Chevrolet 2020 before the year runs out.. I really love my vehicle and thanks to Chevrolet company for making such a nice vehicle.

Durability. Enough said.

I have owned this vehicle for 8 years without any problems. Only had to perform scheduled maintenance. The brakes lasted 7 years. The tires lasted 5 years. Still has the same pickup as the day I bought it. Honestly, the best vehicle I have ever owed.

robbie M

It is loud for sure and it will go very fast but it tops out at 99

I like my truck because it is small and I am not limited on where I can park. It is also loud because of the pipes I have on it and everyone likes them

Negative Owner Reviews

Landon J

Around the town car. Do not drive from town to town.

Great car if you are a single person with no one else to drive around. Also something with the key is messed up where it does not start sometimes and you have to let it sit for 10 minutes before it will. Gets around town well. Would not recommend taking on long trips.

Sarah D

The vehicle is a fun drive, and has not required many maintenance fixes.

It works well and has had very few problems. It is not good for a huge family as it does not fit very many people comfortably. It is nice to drive and has great off-road abilities if that is what you happen to be into. Overall, it is fine but not amazing.

Natasha T

It is my husband's dream truck.

For it to be a truck for heavy duty activity the driver seat belt has broken the latch on the glove compartment is broken as well.

Mario G

The Chevy Colorado is an amazing vehicle despite some issues that all cars have.

The mpg on this vehicle is bad and expect transmission issues at around 100k miles. Additionally, the center console, dashboard and front driver side shock seems to give issues after a while. Furthermore, I noticed that the seatbelts in the back seat cannot be pulled from the socket anymore.

Mia N

The car is close to the ground.

Great air conditioning and spacious trunk. I don't really like the cloth seats, I prefer leather. The cup holders are an odd shape/size.

Katie H

I love being able to pick up anything, and load it on to my truck.

I had bought a brand new Camry, it was ok. But I always wanted a truck. So I traded my 2017 Camry for a 2010 Chevy truck. I love my Chevy. I can pick up anything and throw it the bed of the truck. I have been to the dump dozen of times. It's a great truck.

Gilbert B

Not to bad for the price I got it

The driving is pretty smooth ..the road traction will turn n off sometimes..the sound system is great. The seats are pretty d**n comfortable ..Engine can always use a little more modification to the rear back could use some more technology. Driving out of town is uncomfortable

Bridget B

The constant rattling has become the background music to my very sad life!

Actually the make model and year of my car was not on the list but it would not let me move on to the next screen so I had to put in my dad's vehicle and I do not know much about it. I do know that he's had it for a long time it is a smaller truck so it does not call very easily it is only a two-seater it gets decent gas mileage it does drive pretty smooth that is about all I know.

The front end of my Chevy Colorado meaning the headlights look so amazing.

My 2010 Chevy Colorado is awesome it is four door so it is seats four comfortably. It runs great and had no major issues. It has over 100,000 miles and still going strong. I would really recommend this Chevy Colorado to anyone who is looking for a sporty looking tough looking truck whether you are a lady or gentleman.

Pros from Owners

Saul A.

Great gas for being a compact truck. Price is half compared to a full size. About to tow pretty decent weight. Plenty of room in the inside. Pretty aggressive tone for a v5. Of course you would have to change the stock muffler. I currently have a Flowmaster Super 44.

Matthew D.

It is a more compact pickup but still has plenty of bed space, so it can be used as a work truck without having to upgrade to a full sized pick up. Good gas mileage, reliable, simple controls with no bells and whistles.

Pat V.

My Chevrolet Colorado is a very small, reliable truck for small jobs. It is very compact and smooth riding. It has limited technology but it is worthy of a truck for traveling. I enjoyed the quiet interior and the comfortable seating.

Cons from Owners

Saul A.

Cannot really think of any. Obviously it cannot tow the weight of a full size truck. There's honestly any cons about my truck. I absolutely love it & enjoy driving her everyday. It is been at least five years with my Colorado.

Matthew D.

It is a very light pick up truck, and is rear wheel drive... So harsh weather like snow, sleet, ice, and heavy rain can be challenging as it is not an optimal vehicle for those conditions. It is only a two seater so it does not have much space in the cab.

Pat V.

I think the cons of my Chevrolet Colorado is that it does not have the high technology that a new update drivers would like to have. It is a 2010 later version of what's out today. It is lower and might not be great for dirt driving.
