Any Chevy Colorado owners here?

Good truck - I'm just as satisfied as I was with the Silverado. It handles and parks better than the big truck. Mileage: 23mixed/26+hwy. You can get above stated mileage if you go slow. It tows 2500# like it's not there; I have not towed the max 7000# yet.

Mine is the longbed, crewcab with the V6 auto.

ETA: It is also a 2wd which may explain the higher mileage than above poster. My woman has a lead foot and can't get 20 mpg in town.

Thanks. I'm considering downsizing. It's just me 95% of the time and I drive about 3000 miles a month. The only thing I tow is a 4 wheeler on a 5x8 trailer or my kayak in the bed.

you buying new or used?

if you are buying used, then stay away from 2014 and 2015 chevy Colorado, Silverado, or the gmc canyon, sierra models.

20% of them have unfixable vibration issues on smooth roads at 65-70mph but ride fine on rough roads at those speeds. its a frame/suspension design flaw issue that only the general motors trucks of those 2 years had.

lots of them didn't have problems but 1 in 5 did and don't be fooled by someone telling you its a tire balance issue and sell you one of these lemon trucks that gm had to buy back and resell as used "as-is"

I have an older one that has treated me very well if you have any questions about just the truck in general. No experience with the restart.

Curious as well. Anyone have the diesel version?

I have a 16 Canyon All Terrain. I have 8,200 miles on it, and have been happy. The auto 4 wheel drive system in the GMC is really nice.

Overall with 75% city driving I'm averaging 18.7. On the highway it's usually around 24.

I think it's a perfect size for 95% of people's truck needs.

I've only had 2 issues. The first is rattling in the passenger quarter panel from the speaker (this is apparently a common problem with the bose stereo), and a squeeking in the rear leaf springs (another problem I have found talked about on several forums).

One other quibble I have is with the transmission. It sometimes has trouble finding a gear around town at like 25-40 mph. Like if you push the pedal to accelerate it will hesitate to downshift and almost bog down a little. I think it may also partially just me being used to how far to press the pedal as I drove my last truck for 12 years and certainly got accustomed to it.

I"m only interested in the new models. I think they come with an 8 spd now too.

Pics?

if you get the 4 cylinder, you'll get about 25 mpg. but, it serves very little purpose when pulling or trying to pass another vehicle. that's for sure.
