Who stole my V6?

Idles rough occasionally, sometimes feels like a V6 sometimes like a 4 cylinder. Engine hesitates then eventually accelerates, transmission does not always down shift so feels sluggish at times. Have taken it to the dealer and they cannot find anything wrong, they say that is normal for this vehicle!!? I really like this truck except for the inconsistent performance. I would not have purchased this truck if I had known it runs this way. Any ECU mods for this truck?

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

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!!!!

I seemed to get more for the money than I would have gotten from Nissan for their Frontier. My lease was less money and I got more options. The acceleration was better in the Nissan but the Colorado gave me more options in the vehicle. I was surprised by this since I had leased many vehicles from Nissan in the past but Chevy seemed more willing to get to my price point so they got my business. I am pretty happy so far. The vehicle drives smooth and seems to be solid. It has only been a few weeks so the honeymoon is still going on. Time will tell.
