What Edmunds Says
It has the features and the looks necessary to become the dominant truck in the compact class, but next to the all-new pickups from Dodge, Nissan and Toyota, the Colorado comes up short in power, interior room and overall fit and finish.
Pros
Versatile size, fuel-efficient engine lineup, available side curtain airbags and locking differential, standard ABS.
Cons
Not much low-end torque, no six- or eight-cylinder engine option, low tow ratings, subpar build and materials quality.
