2024 Chevrolet Colorado Consumer Reviews

Glacier Blue ZR2
I traded a 2016 Ram Rebel for my 2024 Colorado ZR2. It includes the safety, technology, and towing packages. I do not have the Bose sound system or Convenience Group III that includes leather seats. I was a doubter when it came to the 2.7L, 4 cylinder engine. While I miss the sound of a HEMI V8, I have not been disappointed with the power available for daily driving, hauling and towing. The interior is comfortable and at 6' tall, I could comfortably sit in the back seat with the front in my normal driving position. The Multimatic DSSV shocks give this truck a great driving personality. It is firm with no unnecessary body movements. It's a smooth highway cruiser and the adaptive cruise control further improves long-range trips. Several offroad and towing modes improve the driving experience. The 4wd Auto mode adds confidence for wet and snowy roads. Electronic locking differentials (front and rear) engage quickly and make this truck nearly unstoppable on the trail. I couldn't justify the cost and compromises of the Bison edition, but that truck takes off roading to a level most drivers aren't capable of using. The camera system is clear offering front, rear and surround views (I don't have the underbody cameras). The cameras remain on as long as you need them at any speed unlike some systems that automatically cut out after a few seconds at higher speeds. All said, this is a fun, distinctive truck gets its fair share of thumbs up.

Colorado ZR2
Pros- Great looks. Very comfortable ride. Off-road ready. Lots of up to date tech. Great sound system. Cons- very poor build quality. Dash rattles over every bump. Hood Scoops adhesive peeling off. Doors are misaligned. Leaking cv axle boots at 200 miles. Main Screen and gauge cluster randomly go blank.

Impressive Truck
This truck has exceeded my expectations. This is my first small truck, having previously owned several full sized pickups. I was especially concerned that the engine would not provide the performance of the V8’s in my previous trucks. I have been pleasantly surprised. The interior has been upgraded considerably. However, unless you have need of the higher performance suspension that comes with the Z71 option, I would opt out of this choice as it is considerably stiffer than that of the full-size pickup which presents a harsher ride. Finally, there is considerably more cabin noise in this vehicle when compared to my previous full size pickup.

Defective right from Cheverolet
Purchased a brand new ZR2 with 3 mikes on the odometer. Had to return the truck to the dealer within a couple of days and 200 miles due to a significant oil leak. Turns out to be a failed rear main seal where it ahs been sitting due to the dealers complete disinterest in taking care of the issue is approaching 3 weeks. After searching Colorad forums, turns out this, although not common, something that it happening to others. Buyer beware!

Disappointed
Owned the truck for almost a year now and loved it until about 12000 km. That's when the engine starting making a lugging sound at low rpm making it quite annoying on the highway. It's slowly getting worse and I notice it during city driving now. Techs can't figure out what's wrong with it but do admit it doesn't sound right. Even took a new Colorado off the lot and admitted that one didn't make the sound. Now I have a truck that's not enjoyable to drive anymore and GM isn't doing much to help me out. 1st and last GM vehicle I'll own. Also read the horror stories on Reddit. Get a Ranger or Tacoma instead. I wish I did.
