New Colorado is Amazing

By Elliott B. written on 03-19-2016

I haven't owned a Chevy product in over a decade. This Colorado was eye catching at first, then I drove it and fell in love with all the amenities it had to offer. This truck has all the bells and whistles I had become accustomed to in my luxury cars and sports cars. It has not let me down in any of the areas that are important to me. Good fuel economy and plenty of get up and go. Leather and heated seats, Navigation, and Apple car play were all major necessities, and the Colorado delivered them. I recommend this truck to anyone looking for a mid size truc.

The Age of Truck-Updated

By The Gunny written on 04-12-2016

Let me start out by saying I absolutely love the 2016 Colorado! We traded in our 2009 Traverse for our 2016 Colorado in an effort to both downsize (we are empty nesters) and prepare for some more than casual towing (we have a boat and are planning on getting a camper). The Traverse had limited towing capacity, which was really impacting what we could buy in the way of a travel trailer. It also had limitations for cargo hauling, especially if the cargo was oversized and could not fit in the cargo bay. We looked at a GMC Canyon and was wowed by the options (especially the leather), but we also wanted a truck that we could do some work in if required, so the Colorado Z71 trim better fit the bill. It is a much quieter drive than the Traverse, with a comprehensive and fairly intuitive infotainment system. I do miss the CD player option, but with most folks going for digital downloads instead of discs, I do understand the move away from CD players. In the approximately 1990 miles we've driven it (300 of which was from the dealer driving it in from out of state), we've thus far taken in on a trip to Chicago and the performance was excellent. Obviously not the mileage of a Cruze or other economy type car, but comfortable in the mid 20s for mpg. The view seems to go on forever (my daily driver is a 2010 Camaro, with some serious view issues out back), and the rear backup camera is a huge plus. We opted for some after market accessories (floormats, soft cover, spray in bed liner, mud flaps, bed mat and running boards) which really decked it out. I recommend the running boards; short folks like my wife and I greatly benefit from the extra step in and out of the vehicle. The Colorado fits nicely in the garage with a little room to spare. I'm looking forward to years of service, hauling and towing in comfort and style with our new truck. I recommend the Colorado for anyone who is looking for a size down from the Silverado sized trucks. Update October 2016: If it's possible, we have fallen more in love with our 2016 Colorado than when we first drove it home. We have two other cars that we use for daily driving, so even this far into our ownership we haven't rolled 10K on the truck, but we have definitely gotten our money's worth thus far. It tows our boat with ease and makes running errands such as dump runs easy. It has become our vehicle of choice for road trips (shocking, since I drive a Camaro) and the functionality of the driver infotainment system really makes driving a joy. If you haven't driven one, I highly recommend taking one out for a spin. Update April 2017: The love affair with the Colorado continues unabated. In addition to towing the boat, it now is our primary tow vehicle for towing our new camper. The tow package helps keep the transmission from overheating (and killing the overdrive), but it sure sucked up the miles per gallon. On the return trip from getting out camper in Illinois, we went from averaging about 22 MPG to 8. I think a lot of that was also me learning to tow the camper and how to massage the gear shifting while towing. We rolled 15K miles this month, and are looking forward to many more years of service with the Colorado.

My Orange 2016 Colorado Z71 4WD

By Daniel A Morin written on 09-05-2016

I will start with the pros on my Colorado Z71. First thing is first, the truck is beautiful. Its a head turning vehicle and easily catches the attention of others , it did for me. from the front to the rear, the truck looks luxurious but rugged. Chevrolet found the sweet spot with this design. The bed is coated with a hard lining and also has plenty of room for cargo. the truck comes with a 2" hitch connection, and a 3 piece rear window. When sitting in the Driver seat I have great visibility around the entire vehicle, its very east to maneuver, but for those who have a hard time backing into parking spaces it comes with a reverse camera and reverse guide shown on the main screen on the front panel. the interior of the truck is great , and very comfortable. I am 6'2" and fit fine in this light duty truck. The seats are lined with leather and with the dark window tint , stay very cool. The steering wheel has a great feel and from the driver seat I have a solid view of all the instruments and screens in the truck. there is plenty of room inside the truck for passengers and small cargo if needed. The power of the truck is great , I wont say incredible but for a light duty, its great. This is where the Cons come in. Ill begin with the acceleration of the truck , its not bad, however I feel the transmission is very sluggish and has trouble deciding which gears to use when starting its acceleration and when beginning to decelerate from speed. The Gas mileage and range is also exaggerated, what was suppose to be 22 city 31 hwy, is really 14 city 25 hwy. If I would have knows this prior to purchase I would have went with a Silverado. I just hit 450 miles and the Bose sound system is rattling in the passenger door. When I drove it off the lot I didn't have this problem. I believe its the door panel making the noise, rather than the sound system. My last con on the 2016 Colorado Z71 would be the front wind guard, it sits very low to the ground with a few inches of clearance, Understanding this is a luxury truck, its still a Z71 OffRoad, and with no clearance in the front, It limits where you can go and what you can do without taking it off and getting the front of the tuck lifted. Overall I want to give the truck 5 stars, though i just hit 450 miles and still have to brake it in. So far it has treated me very well and I'm looking forward to keeping this truck and making the most of it.
