Best truck I've owned

I love the size of my truck, easy to park and drive. I've had 3 Silverados and I don't miss hunting for parking spots big enough. The Apple car play is a game changer, there is no need for ever buying navigation on the next car. Best seat heaters ever, lov the remote start. I have a friend that only drives Mercedes benz, love busting his chops on the fact his $65,000 car doesn't have remote start.

Though it has a 2.5 lt engine it runs great for what I use it for. Which is delivery. Gas saver and very reliable. I had it for two years now. No complaint.

Very very pleased, some minor nits

I've had my 2016 for about 16 months now and really have no major complaints. This is my first truck. Ride, handling, and acceleration are all very good, especially the solid road feel. This handles as well or better than any car I've previously owned. Interior amenities are plentiful, I especially like having Apple CarPlay. Gas mileage is averaging in the low 20's. I've had no mechanical issues other than recall work. Steps are a must-add accessory. I have the leather seat package and have had no complaints, the seat heaters are really nice to have in colder weather. There are a few minor annoying nits though: The door storage is largely unusable. There are no rear-seat A/C vents. There's no home-link for opening the garage door. It could use LED lights as well. Overall though, I completely enjoy the truck. In most cases it rides like a car, though when I need to tow or haul, it's there for me as well. I'd buy another Colorado again in a heart-beat.

So far so good, only problem is paint chipping on edges of doors, of course they say it must have hit something but it hasn't

Colorado Duramax Review

In the review options it did not let me select the 2.8L Duramax Diesel as my engine, that is what I have. If you're on the fence regarding buying something smaller and more efficient as opposed to a full size truck I think this is likely your best choice. My truck has been modified since purchasing so I'll stick to the factory stock experience. First and fore most, mid-size trucks have come a long way since the mid 2000's. Fuel efficiency wise I have seen generally around 24mpg city and as high as 34mpg hwy over a 50mi stretch. I am 72" on the dot and can fit comfortably in the front and squeeze into the rear seats(probably wouldn't be super comfy for those over 72" for long trips). The power lumbar support is amazing as are the heated seats (they warm up faster and stay hotter than the ones in my 2016 Corvette). The first thing I noticed driving the truck at the dealer is how nimble it feels and how quiet and smooth the power delivery is. You almost forget its a diesel. The Chevrolet Infotainment system is likely one of the best on the market as far as ease of use and a logical layout. Apple carplay and the voice activated controls/navigation make commutes a breeze. I've driven this truck in heavy snow and ice here in Eastern Washington and had zero issues. I was able to recover/tow about 10 peoples cars off of hills in a 2-3 month span just commuting to and from work. I've towed several times with it and had zero issues. Lastly, this truck is an absolute head turner. I've had more people ask me questions about it at stop lights than I ever did in my Corvette. My only real complaint is that the bolsters on the seats are a little narrow for me. Anyone under 72" and 200lbs will likely be just fine.
