I've own a 2009 Colorado and towed a pretty loaded down trailer with it every day for 2 years, bought it new and has right at 110k on it now. Never done a thing to it other than oil changes and tranny fluid change at like 60k miles. It's absolutely bulletproof and I'll drive it until it dies. On the Colorado forum I'm on quite a few people have 300k+ on them. Look for a 2008+ 3.7, the 3.5 from 2004-2007 had a weird problem with the cylinder head but it is covered under unlimited mileage warranty I do believe.

The 2016s are very very nice and pretty inexpensive for what you get. I test drove a 2wd fully loaded and I think sticker was 29k. Not bad at all. 2017s will have the duramax as an option which is what I would absolutely get if you can

What do the interiors on the higher trim levels look like in the Colorado/Canyon? I've had them as rentals before and they left a lot to be desired. The diesel has me interested if I can get a nice comfortable ride. We have a big SUV for moving the family around. I just need a fuel efficient vehicle for work. Currently in a VW TDI. Thinking of my next vehicle and there is really no car that I want. Full sized truck is out of the question due to mileage and in reality I don't need it. But if the Canyon/Colorado can come near 30 MPG and have the truck bed as a bonus, it would be worth considering. But the interior would have to be nice enough to take customers around in. 4 grown me with enough room, plus leather etc. One thing I've learned in the current car, I need room along with fuel efficiency.
