I love the Colorado so much that I bought a 2021 Work Truck. The V6 was so powerful and efficient, that a six hours tow from Phoenix to Vegas with my 4200lbs of trailer and race car now only takes 5.5hrs due to the greater hill climbing ability than my 2004 Colorado with a 3.5L 5cyl engine. I look forward to traveling through more of the country with my extra power and towing capabilities my new Colorado has!😀

It's called "Cajun Red" because it's the same color as a crawfish shell late in the season after it's boiled. Late in the season, dark red shells are common and indicate harder shells, which are harder to peel.

At 9600 miles still great truck, the Colorado has changed my mind on Chevy products. Bad news for Ford. Getting 18.2 MPG average while driving around Phoenix. Highway trips it jumps to 24.3 MPG. 3.6 under light throttle goes to v4 mode around town. Love the 8" screen upgrade, along with locking diff on my 2wd. Walked out the dealer on my black LT trim at $32,700. With 0 down and lock in 4% its reasonable monthly payments. The bad of the Colorado are the following, placement of the shifter is located in such a way I hit it with my legs. Another ding are the jump seat are useless and wish they had a cargo storage option over the seat, which I would jump on in a heatbeat. Another minor miss is the sensitivity of the alert system which was included in this truck. Positive note it can be turned off manually. Overall love my Colorado as much as my 2011 Ranger. That's saying lots as I was not a Chevy fan until this truck.

I ended up going with the Tacoma. Rumor was they don’t make deals on them in 4wd versions, so I went to CFL Toyota a bit irritated after OffLeaseOnly sold a 2018 Silverado 4x4 out from under me, frustrated after months of looking. Got it for $4500 off MSRP, 2018 TRD OffRoad for $34,800 with running boards and window tint added in, no charge. I like something different about each truck, but decided i’d go with the Toyota if they would deal and they did. Happy I tried and didn’t listen to some of the forums about deals.

REALLY enjoying my '18 Colorado z71 4wd. Have taken it across the country from northern MN to soCal, then up to snowy Mammoth in the eastern Sierras. The auto 4wd was just right for spotty ice patches, although we snicked it into 4H on constant snow or ice. I'm disappointed they don't offer a manual transmission in the z71 trim. I find it safer to be able to choose a lower gear manually. Oh well. Otherwise all good. Tight, quiet, surprisingly competent. Love this truck!

By the way, I’m going to order a Colorado tomorrow through my employer. We have a limited selection of offerings, From GM I think its a Malibu, Equinox, or Colorado. I’m selecting the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado LT - 4x4 Crew Cab 5 ft. box 128.3 in. WB - (12N43) then adding the towing package, locking differential, and the LT convenience pack (fog lamps, defrost rear window & side mirrors, opening rear window, EZ lift gate, & remote start) The video you made helped me make up my mind. Thank you.

I can get a Colorado WT with V6 4x4 extended cab/long bed, tow package, spray-in bed liner, foglights, vinyl seats and 7" screen with Apple Carplay & Android Auto, and 16" Ultra Silver metallic cast aluminum wheels (Kinetic Blue +$325 color option). ($33,295) Ford Ranger XL - 4x4, vinyl seats, supercab/long bed, tow package, drop in bed-liner, Sync, 16" steel wheels (no CarPlay or Foglights) - $32,540 Difference: $755 (If I remove the Foglights and the Kinetic Blue color options off the Colorado, there is no price difference, plus I would be getting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. But, my area gets foggy a lot, so I want fog lights, which is NOT an option or available on a Ranger XL, and I reallllllly like blue color vehicles. I don't want to jump up 10K for easy to clean leather seats, and cloth seats are hard to clean, stain, and get stinky. Also, count me out on 18+ inch wheels on a pick up - I want some sidewall and tire.

Thinking of Off-roading, I would have the 16" Ultra Silver metallic cast aluminum wheels on the Colorado powder coated black, which is the same as what they do on the Black Edition, and have a set of Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires installed. While I am not doing much off-roading, there are plenty of local dirt and gravel roads, roads that have not been taken care of in a few decades, and plenty of snow and ice. To get those wheels and tires on a Z71, it's a $3500 accessory option (only an option for the Z71). DIY is under $1000.

You seem a little nervous. You need to slow down a little when your talking. They need to keep their motors and stop with all the changing. Pick a six cylinder and stick with it. Just make improvements to the motors they have instead of changing. Bring back the 305 and the 350! One of the reasons I chose the Tacoma over the Chevy was sight. I can see out of the Tacoma a lot better. The Chevy is much harder to see out of looking back and to the sides. Chevy needs to work on that. Too many blind spots. Give me a Colorado that has some off road ability without a darn $49,000 price tag! Do like Toyota and offer me one for around 35 or 34.
