I have the Z71 extended cab with the V6, with 6000 miles, looks great runs like crap. The truck is very under powered, I'm not sure where the towing 10K comes from I pulled small trailer with lawn equipment and the truck struggled with that small load, stayed in manual mode mostly. The running boards are for looks only, make getting out of vehicle hard, may sprain my knee someday. The XM radio goes out in the wide open space, no help from dealer on that one. The back up camera is continually lock screening, must turn truck off to reset. There is a lot of engine noise inside the cab. Also has recall on hood, that I am getting run around from dealership on, take truck there they say have part then told its on order, this has happen multiple times, Like some others have said I too sometimes think the hood is going to fly off. So you can understand my concern. Maybe Rick Hedrick should get off the track and back into his dealerships again, I wont be returning, and this after buying 5 vehicles from his stores. The fuel mileage is not that great best I have seen is 19, that was freeway driving. Do not buy this truck.

2.8L Duramax Diesel, not V6

Love this truck! Trust me, if you like the V6 Colorado, you'll love the Duramax. Each time I drive it, I smile and know I made the right decision. Pulls trailers without issue. Internal break controller works great. Fuel economy can vary. Pulling weighted trailer at 75 MPH: low 20's. Normal driving at 60 MPH on flatter roads: 30+ MPH. My brother has one with nearly 14k miles. Does more highway driving, so his average is about 3-4 MPG more than mine.

I still love my truck I should have got the V6 or the 4-cylinder diesel not the gas four cylinder. Seven years only problem was stereo needed to be replaced

I’ve owned this truck since early 2016. Finally I decided to replace the driver side rear spring that had been sagging since new. Cost me about $350 since GM would not fix it on warranty. Overall I like the Colorado. It gets good gas mileage and is comfortable on long trips. My cloth Upholstery stains easily so I recommend leather. I’m very pleased with the V-6 engine. 4W drive, not so much. I wish I would have considered a Frontier more when I purchased new. The most positive point about this truck is that it has never broke down. Reliability is awesome.
