Bought the crew cab WT with the 2.5L engine, auto transmission, & only 2 option packages 2 1/2 weeks ago. Manual tranny not available. Like it better than my previous '03 X cab Silverado which had no engine holdback going downhill; this engine and tranny does. Has enough power for me, a senior, and my daughters appreciate that I am not zoom - zooming around with my trade-in; a stick shift Pontiac Vibe. Only major problem is figuring out the infotainment system which is not user friendly to normally perceptive folks. The truck fits in my garage; a 2015 Silverado X cab wouldn't. Once I install an after market soft roll up tonneau cover, bed mat, retractable tie downs, and 4 wire electric trailer connector for about $450 + tax, I will have a vehicle that will do everything I want.

purchased fully loaded 2016 Z71 with trailer tow. 3000# trailer, truck could not hold a strait line above 65 mph. same trailer same driver jeep grand cherokee 80 mph no issues. obviously not the trailer. GM shruggs it off. great truck if your not pulling. buyer beware

I took a chance and went with the 2.8 duramax. Pros; Power,mileage, towing its got it all in one package! The best feature is the engine brake, when towing 5000lb in the hills you will rarely touch the brakes. I have 5000 miles on the truck and have averaged 25 mpg most of that towing at highway speed.I've got 30 on the highway! It has better than V6 gas Power!! Cons; The front air dam is stupid!(I took it off the second day i owned the truck and they used 16 screws to hold it on that are impossible to get at Laser Blue can look Purple not happy with color

I love the truck! Not only is it great looking, but with the 6 cylinder engine and 4 wheel drive it can handle anything I may run into.. At 85,000 miles all is well!

Have driven 175K in my 2016 Colorado Z71, it’s been great. Mileage is 21 combined, considering I drive in mountains not bad, made trip to Vegas avg. 23 (V6 engine) Very quiet on the inside, has the Bose system sounds great. Ride is very good for a truck; seats are pretty good. Overall at this point I would give it 4.7 out of 5.Truck now is total was rear ended on the fwy hit at 45 miles per hour, no major health issues, only question when I was push into the car in front of me, minor the air bags didn't go off. I would strongly recommend this truck. Update: Now at 158K still holding to above comments, except have had the power steering light come on a couple of time. Full service at 150K cost 950.00 and that's everything, plugs, all fluids, belt, etc. Update 3: 181K Still running strong!!! overall a great truck!!!! NO BREAKDOWNS to date!!!!
