It is a very reliable vehicle and the 4-wheel drive works like a charm!
Very comfortable ride, very reliable, no problems, gas mileage is decent for a truck. The only thing I do not like is it shifts a lot!
accountCircle Daniel S
You can put it 4 wheel drive up to 45 miles per hour.
The Chevy Colorado 4 wheel drive pickup truck solves all your needs. It will take care of you in the snow and ice and take care of you no matter how hot the summer is. It gets 24 to 25 miles per gallon and up to 30 on the freeway. And it so comfortable with heated seats.

Chevy Colorado is sounding better.
Truck has had some engine problem, but fixed runs excellent now. Is easy to handle, lots of room. Has excellent backup camera, accessories. Just the right size, not too big but not to small. Rides very smooth considering it is a. Truck. Gas mileage is ok.

Chevrolet Colorado truck.
I have no complaints. It runs heat and the motors last forever. It's a comfortable ride and is a good size. Not too bad on gas but has power. It's an attractive vehicle that gets noticed and its functional, as well. It's fun to drive and it's a brand I will want again.

I love the color of the vehicle and the plain look.
Expense and ease of maintaining and repairing the vehicle, things are great as long as the vehicle runs without to much up keep, no problems so far seems to perform as expected, do not like talking about a vehicle, it is just about the time it starts acting up.

Chevy Colorado the best of the best.
My Colorado has had minimal problems. There were a couple recalls but that is to be expected with any vehicle. The Colorado runs amazingly and rides smoothly. Comfortable seating with heated seats. I highly recommend this vehicle to everyone. You cannot go wrong with it.

Chevy Colorado 4wd knob is amazing!
My Chevy Colorado is amazing. The seats are both cloth and leather, which really helps with the normal sliding around on the leather seats. The 2wd to 4wd knob is super easy to use and a nice feature. The overall performance of the truck is great. The truck has plenty of power and the ride is smooth.

Good truck, small interior.
To me the truck is just uncomfortable for someone of my size. Not for big guys! But it is still a good little truck and very good on mileage that is an upside to this truck just fix the interior! I love the space in the bed as well very nice for my family and our little camping trips we take I give it a solid 4 stars.

The wanna be truck that you don't want to have to haul stuff in the rain with
I call it the ''wanna be truck." It lacks good pickup for someone who likes to put the pedal to the metal and go. I prefer an SUV for the ENCLOSED cargo area, although a truck is nice for hauling lumber or furniture.
accountCircle Christina D
A decent vehicle but could be better.
Has a multitude of recall notices including steering, oil leaks. Does not accelerate very well, especially over mountain. It is comfortable with cloth seats. A little small for taller people sitting in back seats. Nice bed size and it is lined with a protective cover.
accountCircle David S
Used 2015 Chevy Colorado. Crew cab z71 black. Nice interior and nice body look.
I bought it used with 34,000 miles on it. Basically brand new. I have had it for just a year now and it has been in the shop at least three times already and it currently has a check engine light on. I bought the extended warranty but what they do not tell you is no matter what they are going to charge you diagnostic fees. Not very happy with Chevy. Too many problems and the warranty is not that great.
accountCircle Bryce S
Chevy Colorado 2015 leased.
The four wheel drive is good for snow particularly in my region. However there are some complications for including weird noises linked to being a rigid steering wheel. Despite that, there is room for a single family and enough space to store and load items in.
accountCircle Tom R
My Chevy Colorado could be better.
The biggest problem I have with my Colorado is the transmission. It will hesitate shifting, both up and down, which will cause my engine to rev higher than I feel is normal. I like the look and feel of the truck, it is roomy inside. It gets real good gas mileage for a truck.
accountCircle Jennifer C
This is as smooth ride for long trips.
We love this vehicle. It is comfortable and there is plenty of space and leg room. It is not the best on gas mileage. It is a blast to drive around and very smooth. It is a comfortable ride when taking long trips. We like how it handles and accelerates quickly. It keeps up with steep hills.
accountCircle Casie L
Good truck, nothing special.
I am not impressed with the interior. Tears easily on the seats. Drive is okay but better in the 2016. Had an issue with the window right off the bat too. I feel like a lot of the kinks were worked out in the 2016 model, but 2015 could've been better. The warranty wasn't worth it either.

Great dependable truck without being massive.
Great gas mileage and performance. I would recommend the larger bed than the 5ft one but overall it is a great sturdy truck. Only complaint is that it does not go faster than 98 mph. Has great options and is very comfortable and the rear is spacious for 2 addition passengers.
accountCircle Yeni E on June 25, 2021
The color of the outside is white pearl.
This vehicle has a little more to do it is a little more expensive. It is really reliable and does not waste a lot of gas. It was the best car I have ever had. The color is white but is pearl at the same time. It has really comforting seats. The air conditioner is really good and it cools a lot.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Thomas R.

Rides smooth, can carry a lot of cargo. Hold up to 5 adults comfortably. The color is very nice. It is built well. I have not had any issues with the truck. It has been very reliable. Tires are in incredible shape, factory set is still fine after 65k miles. I would recommend this truck to anyone.

likeFilled Jake K.

I am a huge fan of the rear view camera. Makes parking very easy. Also, pretty good gas mileage for a truck. I have put 120,000 miles on the vehicle and have had no issues. The Bose sound system is nice as well.

likeFilled Bill R.

Gas mileage is greater than 20 mpg. I can comfortably fit 5 people. It pulls a trailer well for a half-ton pick up. I like how it looks. It is been reliable. The technology has been good. The compact size makes parking easy.

likeFilled Anthony M.

Its stable and strong as well as fast. Also when I drive I alone I have a great time with the air conditioner blowing to face while driving in the hot sun. Also I really like the design on the car and I would recommend it to a lot of people I know.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Thomas R.

Gas mileage is average. I would like to see it get better gas mileage. It is in the 20's on the highway. Luggage room in the back can be an issue. I am going to buy a Bed liner cover so I can put luggage in the back of the truck.

dislikeFilled Jake K.

The bed of the truck is a little smaller than what I would prefer after having for a few years. The biggest con would be that it is no four wheel drive. Makes driving in the snow very difficult. Does not get much traction in the back.

dislikeFilled Bill R.

It is a bit sluggish as if it is not geared to accelerate well. The two wheel to four wheel drive change is slow and jerky. The interior upholstery is cloth. The bed is a bit short. The engine seems to have trouble with cruise control. Shifts strangely between 50-60mph.

dislikeFilled Anthony M.

As for the cons it is very little things to say but the wheel might have to change a little. Also I know the tires are optional but when I got it I wanted to change because it did not look good. Have a great day.
