2019 Chevrolet Colorado - The no-nonsense midsize truck
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2019
- Chevrolet’s Colorado competes in the revived midsize truck segment, which includes a number of more recently updated pickups. Its available turbo-diesel engine’s best-in-class towing capacity and the ZR2’s off-roading chops are strengths, but the Colorado generally costs as much as or more than competitors other than the new Jeep Gladiator.
Shop for the new 2019 Chevrolet Colorado on CarGurus: cargur.us/vyXFM
The 2019 Colorado offers two cab styles, two box lengths, three engines, and five trim levels, as well as rear-wheel or 4-wheel drive, providing options to meet a wide variety of needs with prices ranging from $21,300 to $42,900, not including the $1,095 destination fee. Its base inline 4-cylinder offers 250 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque, a more popular 3.6-liter V6 puts out 308 hp and 275 lb-ft, and its 2.8-liter turbo-diesel makes 181 hp and 369 lb-ft.
The Colorado keeps things simple, featuring straightforward looks and an interior focused on practicality rather than style. It doesn’t offer the sort of luxurious materials and features that have become popular in higher-end full-size trucks, and while it includes Chevrolet’s Infotainment 3 touchscreen system, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, it’s not very high tech.

I got my 18' Z71 (loaded) for $32.5. That is without any advertised discounts!
I now have 34k miles on the truck and LOVE IT! It has been great for commute, towing, family trips with 02 kids in the back, and off-roading (Mostly deep fluff sand on the beach).
Love mine. Had always been a Jeep/Ford guy but will never go back. I love my 6.7 F-450 and when I want to tow, it's a beast. But this is a nice weekend truck, daily and camping truck. Nice change of pace.
I’m on my second Colorado, not due to anything but the first was an Ext Cab, that was a Z71,4x4, V6, the wife used to commute to work and we used together on all trips with a 4,000 lbs Travel Trailer, along with enough stuff to scale in on a Cat Scale at just over 9,500 lbs CGVW. WE Put 48,000 miles trouble free exploratory and fun since new. All while getting 17 city, 26 hyw at the speed limits and averaged 13 on a 4,000 mile camping trip. But now that we are both retired and moved to a new home in Central Florida from Massachusetts, we only need one vehicle, so we bought a new 2019 Colorado Crew Cab W/T 4x4, V6, with everything I need and nothing I don’t! Like W/T Convenience Package, W/T Appearance Package, Tow Package, in white with grey interior all for just over 31k out the door! Plus Trailer Brake Control, along with the three new skid plates the dealer installed for me from AEV that they made for the ZR2 Bison! Plus a bed liner with storage compartments! All for that great price! Sure I could have bought another Z71, but they are at least 35k! Before all the added stuff!! So instead of leather heated seats we have vinyl and cloth, plus no carpet! But I still have enough money left to add some nice front coil overs to level an add suspension travel! Plus with just the 16” Aluminum Wheels that comes with the Appearance Package nice 31” tires cost less! On top of all that the dealer threw in an 84 mo 100,000 Bumper to Bumper Warranty! When the time came to go looking at Crew Cab Trucks, we had decided to go mid sized, so we spent a month looking and test driving! The wife really wanted a Gladiator, until that is she drove it! Sure they are arguably better off road, but on road, especially towing? The steering is all over the place and you must be on it all the time. The Ranger is plenty powerful but rides hard and steering is numb, plus fit an finish is bad! Especially where the tailgate meets the bed floor! You can easily fit two fingers in the gap! The Tacoma is a good truck, but they feel like you’re sitting on the floor and ride hard with grabby brakes. Where as the Colorado rides, steers and especially stops very well!
Running boards saved me from sliding in a ditch so I’ll keep them on and helped when I got hit in the side
Excellent review video! You get straight to the point on each topic.
The jeep gladiator is not a midsize truck by any stretch ( no pun intended), its a jeep wrangler with an open trunk.
I got a new 2018 Colorado LT 4x4. I got a left over stock model when the 2019's came out. Your 2019 model is was exactly what I wanted. But I got mine for 26k out the door after a lot of dealing. You have a great looking truck!
Great deal!!
I got my 2019 crew cab summit white LT 2wd V6 with the convenience and towing package for under 26K before tax/license. I installed nerf bars myself, got a Rhino spray on bed liner, and tinted my front windows to match the factory tint on the rear windows. So far this truck has been amazing!
I have a 2005 Colorado 2 wheel drive red. With 31 inch tires and the z71 suspension package, fender flares and also has the front pull bars attached to the front bumper. Good truck thus far :)
Freddie G I got mine Jan 1st. 30k with everything on it. 2wd v6 lt. Got a bed tri fold cover. Side bars. Got black 17 rims. Need to tint to match the factory back windows. Looks great
My 2017 Z71 Redline is great. Driven it a bunch and the only problem I ever had was a nail that got stuck in the tire but didn’t penetrate and cause any damage. Got it for 27k for those wondering
I have the zr2 with lift and 35 tires v6 .we do serious off roading so the front and rear lockers is what sold me. I have a jeep wrangler Rubicon with lift 40 bfg tires 456 gears Dana 60 axels and a hemi engine in it. Front and rear lockers. It's a blast to drive.
Damn bro all that money and no Polaris RZR?
Sell them both and get a Raptor. 😂
I feel like he failed on researching the pricing. 42k is a lot for a midsize z71, but his test truck is as pricey as you can get for a z71. The Midnight Edition is pretty much top of the pricing. If you are looking at your average Z71 v6 with most of those same options (minus the Midnight Edition) you are looking at 35-38k. Much more in line with the Toyota. It's a good solid truck. Had mine for a couple years now (paid 32K with all the same options except Midnight), and have had no major issues. It does have a little lag on the accelerator, but when it kicks in on the highway it really does haul ass. Been the perfect balance of daily driver and 4 wheel drive explorer.
Mountain biking and Snowboarding in my Z71 all year long. Just hit my first 5000 miles
@Wavgretzky how's it treating you? Just got a 2021 z71, I love it but am worried about everything I hear about the transmissions
I love my 2020 Colorado its base model v6 so far no complaints
Those look pretty badass
I just bought a used '15 3.6 rwd wt. For my needs, its great. Havent experienced any issues. I really wanted the tacoma. I drove a friends o7 taco and my dads '15 taco. We will see about the longevity. I think im just going to have to really be diligent on the service. Its the nicest thing i have ever owned. My first domestic vehicle. I would be pleased if it ended up in the same ballpark as far as reliability of the japanese cars im accustomed to
Good shit brother
I'm picking one up this week 4x4 blue and I hate those front spoiler.. probably rip it off as I love off road driving. It's used and fully packed with all the goodies.
I have this exact truck in the 2017 model, the first year the 8 speed trans was introduced. After 20,000 miles the torque converter would shudder and shake the trans when cruising and developed extremely hard shifts both up and down. I took it in and all the dealer's done so far is flush the trans and put a heavier weight fluid. Apparently this is a common issue with this 8 speed
What about the 6 speed?
Same in Thailand different engine 2.5 vgt Diesel same as your 2.8 numerous torque converter fails here and after 3 years and 60k miles 100k km they wash their hand of YOUR problems, Chevrolet service disgusting, then they quit Thailand anyway THANKS Chevrolet
Awesome 👍👍 2019 Chevrolet Colorado review .
As a owner of 2018 colorado lt with v6 I am very pleased only only a couple if issues. Main issue is that gear shifter location sucks. The crash system is a bit touchy in traffic. But otherwise I enjoying it at almost 20k I am averaging 20 combined with my foot not getting heavy. It drops to 16 if I spend a week heavy dragging stop light to stop light. My extended cab 2wd lt trim has 8 inch upgrade screen and recommend it. Out of 10 I would give it 8.5 stars
I love my 2018 Colorado
Heavy & numb steering/slow response from the gas pedal comes in handy when it 🌧s,
I love my 2019 Z71 Colorado
my suburbanhomestead i think your full of shit too!!
Have had my ColoradoZ71 with the duramax for just over 3 months now.Love It. It rides firm and well controlled. The engine is very smooth and strong on hills it just keeps going and hardly needs to shift with all that torque. Just came back from a 1300 mile trip from Pa to Illinois and back and averaged 30.8mpg travelling around 74mph. The a.c. had no problem keeping us comfortable even with the high 80s to low 90s temps. Around home I seldom get less than 26mpg.
Wow! That is really good mpg! The Taco would be happy to get half of that.
@guy proulx "isnt available" is the keyword. The only midsize with a diesel is the Colorado.
pretty nice package...so how are the transmissions in these? reliable?
I'm looking for a small truck around 15k. No crew cab. I saw a used 15 Colorado for 15 with 105k miles. Any other suggestions?
I bought my 2018 Z71 CC/LB midnight edition with all taxes and fees for $38k. So far a great truck both on and off road. You must take off the front air dam though.
I have always been a Toyota guy but ended up selling my Tacoma double cab 4x4 which I had bought brand new in 2004 just so I could update our vehicles. I later bought a new 2018 Chevy 2500hd 4x4 and bought the wife a new 2017 Toyota 4Runner 4x4. Bought both in 2017. Ended up trading in the 2500 for a 2019 Chevy Colorado Red Line 4x4. The wife ended up driving the Colorado for a bit to try it out. The wife now prefers to drive my Colorado on a daily basis and I am stuck with the 4runner LOL. Happy wife happy life I guess.
This truck is far more comfortable than the Tacoma, especially if you have any lower back or knee issues.
Very nice. So cool.
How is the ac/ heating? I want great air in the summer and comfy heat in the winter
Like every american product ... strong heat and strong ac ..
Just bought a used 2018 .. w short box .. GMC … w 37 k miles.. it’s a dream .. and so we’ll manufactured and put together .. has the Wentzelville factory pride decal .. made here in USA.. thanks .. GM Corp!!!. I like the styling so much better than the new 2023 design .. and I wanted the 3.6 V6.. dropped in 2023
The Colorado was supposed to be the affordable replacement for the s10 but along the way GM has forgotten that because the market shows that we still need small affordable trucks that it's not all about big flashy midsize an fullsize trucks but that people still want a nice affordable truck that's not going to break the bank
I was surprised at how expensive trucks are today, gas prices are also through the roof as of current.
@@nobull772 thanks Bidumb
@@levis569 It’s getting to the point I feel sorry for the man, actually, it hit that point for a while now. He doesn’t deserve the torture.
@@nobull772 I feel sorry for us as Americans and could give a rats ass about him.We are to sympathetic, guys like him obviously don't care about the average American so why should we care about him or them?Anyways have a good one
@@levis569 fair.
Good one’
No doubt the Colorado is at the very top of the mid-size pickup truck segment, and is hugely popular with Chevy fans down here in Kentucky!
LOL yea right ford and chevy in need of repair after 50K always
@guy proulx you ford knob gobbler....why do you always lie ?
You've got to be kidding it's at the bottom of every test !
Yeah right best of what, over rated breakdown
I own my 3rd Z71 Colorado. It's a Z71 Duramax CCLB and its the Best yet.
What happened with the first 2 if ya dont mind me asking..
@@K1ngAcey I traded up from 2wd and then to a Duramax.
I just got one of these recently with 32k miles. Whoever owned it never reset the trip so the average gas mileage my truck had from mile zero is 18mpg. It's a lot zippier than the first gen Colorado and hopefully the frame doesn't crack from Michigan winters like the last used one I got.
Love my 2019 z71. Great truck! Awesome power and handles very well.
How much did ya pay? And do you think the price difference is worth it, compared to the lt?
Great review
Mines been to the dealer every month since I bought it. 5 radios, a no start, smells like antifreeze when heater on, coolant sloshing under dash, clamshell doors suck, don't latch in cold. No lemon laws in Canada which is bullshit, but GM did extend the warranty for 2 more years which will really benefit me when i buy my new Ford in the spring. Other than that, nice truck.
You never actually bought this truck did you?
I see crew cab long bed WT’s 2wd brand new under 30k. Really all you need if you live where it doesn’t snow.
You can get wt 4wd for under 30 as well
Yeah find WT models already on the lot and negotiate as if you're a stubborn child. That's the only way to do this truck unless you want to go for the ZR2. I'd take the ZR2 over a raptor any day.
Need another full time job to pay for the monthly payments. Blows my mind how people have that much money to spend on a car payment.
Agreed. I'm currently driving a 2011 Honda Ridgeline, while i'm not ready to part with it there will be a time when I'll need to switch. I'm starting to look at options - midsize pickup - and it blows my mind on how much money you need to spend. And the difference ($$) between that and a full size pickup is minimal. Go figure.
@@ericdufort5648 yeah, it's insane. I have a 99 sonoma and some time soon I need to switch, I was thinking a Colorado. But I guess not lol. So maybe a frontier, I dont really care on the brand. I think frontiers are about 20-28k, 20 being a used one from craigslist or so... I just dont know.
@Elijah Atwood I'll have to check it out. Hope they dont have 200k miles though. But what can ya do.
@verbadum22 yeah, the more and more I seen the frontiers. I kinda like it alot. Simple and still nice looking. The only problem is that they are pretty much sold out everywhere here. Lol.
you can't blame others for living life and working hard don't judge because you can't afford one
Mine seems to have a transmission issue but the truck is amazing other than that 2017 model I’ve gone everywhere it it def would recommend this truck
man, been hearing stuff about the transmissions in Chevy trucks, care to elaborate? big issue or?
How can you recommend a truck that is almost guarantee to have transmission issues within 50k. No, just no.
I have a 2018 Z71 2wd and it does amazing on road as well as off road. You want fru fru luxury truck get a Lincoln or Cadillac. You want a dependable truck with beefy sexy curves get a Chevrolet Colorado.
I bought my wife a 18 Silverado LTZ it's really badass
Which wife drives a silverado? Get that bitch a suburban.
What Colorado needs is a Trail boss package
I’m thinking about getting one I just need to know is it worth it? 2019” Z71 $32,000 with 56,000 miles.
They talk em up real good!😂
Dones it have jet propulsors?
Reliability or liability
The front spoiler is really easy to remove.
As are silly looking sidesteps.
Have they fixed the 8spd?
My colorado is 17 and not all colorado didnt have transmission problems but some did from the factory
Just the price tag is ridiculouse
I own a 2018 Z71 model and would never buy another. Tons of problems so far including the transmission. If you aren’t familiar with the issue or aren’t sure what to watch for, the best description I can give is that it feels similar to having a manual transmission in too high a gear. A shuddering/chugging that seems to radiate from the center of the vehicle outward under acceleration.
Just started to experience this problem with my 2017 z71. It's in the shop now
I'm shopping for a new truck right now. Doing lots of research. Almost bought a 2019 Colorado until I read about the torque converter problem. Dodged a bullet there.
They fixed the issue for 2019.
They did not fix the problem for 2019. Last loaner I was given while my Colorado was in the shop yet again, was a 2019 Silverado with just over 2k miles on it. Transmission was actually having worse symptoms in the Silverado than the Colorado I had just dropped off.
Update: Colorado is going in again this month. I now have independent mechanics who are confirming that despite what GM is telling me, the transmission does indeed need to be replaced and they are willing to back what they say. GM is just trying to pass the repair bills on to their customers by band-aiding the issues until the warranty runs out.
I have a 2019 and no issues yet. I tow a 5500 pound RV trailer and full gear. We have been taking out all summer so it seems they have fixed the issue. Torque converter is a small issue thank goodness
I’m trying to decide between the ford ranger lariat and the Chevy Colorado redline edition. Which do you think is best?
Michael Samuels Chevy Colorado for sure
Wait. For the 2021 model year the Colorado/Canyon is supposed to be an all-new generation. The Ranger also can't be too much longer before a redesign.
Tacoma by far
@@rogerjones9846 do your research. Toyota sucks, stop letting them coast on a reputation they gained decades ago.
Caleb M Toyota doesn’t suck actually their cars and trucks last far longer than all the other brands besides chevy
I have a basic 2017 colorado wt v6, double cab. So far no issue
Anthony 911 Im thinking about getting a preowned 2017 v6 Colorado for about 20,000. Are they worth it?
You call that simple and no nonsense? I’m still rockin a 06’ Dakota with 89,000 miles and a simple 4.7 V8 magnum. Mid-level trim only got you a 5spd. auto. trans, color matching bumpers, fog lights, cloth interior, manual sliding rear window, and power front windows with CD player. This price and features of midsize truck today are that of a luxury vehicle.
Manual transmission gone? No more 6 speed stick? 2018
Indeed the 2018 model year was the last year you could get the manual. Actually went away for the 2019 model year, not just the 2020.
Ranger is a little better interior wise and safety features cant wait to see the 2020 ranger,colarado
No its not. That is legit the reason I bought the Colorado over the Ranger. The Colorado is MUCH better to sit and drive in.
A simple $40k midsize truck? Some of these truck reviewers are nutty.
I mean if its stickered at 40k you can likely get it for closer to 33ish.
Scott Berg have you priced full sized trucks lately? Most of them are stickering for above 50.
Why isn’t 4WD standard?
The king of all trucks
Why won't anyone review the I4 model Colorado/Canyons? Will GM only loan out top-end V6 models (at their ridiculous MSRPs!) for the motor press? I bought a new (but previous dealer loaner with 2500 miles) LT extended cab for $23000 out the door. I see WAY more I4 Colorados than V6 models on the road. Review the cars people actual buy, please.
Don’t these have torque converter problems
yup
There is a bulletin for a different type of transmission fluid that fixes the issue.
I wouldnt say the Jeep Gladiator is "on sale". I cant find one under $48k for a Sport S!
@guy proulx Aye. Wait for next years model. Although a Colorado ZR2 now looks more enticing.
Kirk Douglas
Keep it!
My zr2 was 41k....how does this model cost more?
Got my ZR2 for $40k
39,5. lots of deals on black ones here in California.
sweetlogo OK I feel better I did not get ripped off LOL
Don’t let the sticker price fool you. A Z71 will only cost you about $31k plus tax, not $41k.
Yeah it is 2019 Black Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Crew Cab 4WD 3.6L V6 308 Hp 275 Torque 8 Speed Automatic Transmission 17 City 24 Highway 19 Combined With Price As Tested $41,765 Thousand Dollars Ulimate Compact Midsize Truck!!!!!!!!
Can anyone explain why trucks are so expensive
Because a certain group of billionaire psychopaths want us all deep in debt.......
Looking at this Certified 2019 Colorado LT *convenience package*. Price is $25,995.. 43k miles.. Anyone experience issues? Still like this truck?

Nestor Gonzalez base model
I wonder why Holden changed to look of this truck

I'd like one but I bought my 16 2500HD Duramax new for $46k...? At 41k I cant justify getting a small truck for that price..
yo queiro eso troka es muy bien
I'd get 17inch wheels.
Just bought a 2019 crew cab 4x4 Z71 for 31,800. Late Sept is the time to buy.
Nice. I bought mine Jan 1st for 30k and it’s a regular v6 lt but I needed the truck at the time.
What state are you in?
Virginia
lindsey I think your full of shit too.
How'd I spec a Colorado? Get the GMC Canyon with the extended cab 4X4 and the diesel option! Make it the SLT level and That's how I'd buy it! What?! NO extended cab version? Fuck that then...
Almost bought a Z71 but went a Ranger instead. Just a few things I liked about the Ranger better.
dont bother with lane assist or forward collision warning I never use them here in Thailand, if you cant look at the road ahead you shouldnt be driving.
A quick stop and any car complaint website highlights the reoccurring issues these things have. Love the look. The zr2 is badass. But not worth the risk.. 8spd had a lawsuits due to torque converter failures. Zr2 is basically on national back order for from diff seal.
Haven't had any problems with our zr2 yet. V6 lift and 35 tires. Runs and handles great on and off road. We off road it in Texas hill country and in Colorado. Next week going to run it at hells revenge trail.
Yeah idk where you got this info from...
@@Ares19951017 I love the Colorado and particularly the Z71 with the midnight package but unfortunately, transmission issues are all over the forums and more details can be found quickly on here: www.carcomplaints.com/Chevrolet/Colorado/transmission/
Don't get any GM vehicle with the 3.6 v6, they are massive oil burners that aren't built very well.
I keep trying to justify choosing a Chevy/GM as my next vehicle. But the thing is, I get reminded each month why I hate GM with a passion almost every month. So I keep leaning further and further toward Ford or Toyota.
Locked Firing what males you hate it?
My lil sister has a GM vehicle and every month it goes in the shop because something electrical dies on it. Last month was the radiator though, this month I think was the transmission it refused to change gear or something like that
I hear it's the ford ranger now, as far as the one to get.
Midsize? Bigger than a 90s half ton lmao
Facts. I love the size of the Chevy s10
Exactly
This car is surprisingly affordable but looks expensive.
Those are some sharp truvks but they are not reliable
$40k is not simple.
Nick Banaszak I just bought at 2018 Chevy Colorado ZL1 midnight Edition for $28k , with everything this guy has. Only had 17k miles
Edward Irizarry thats the way to go. $40k is ridiculous.
nobody pay full sticker price for a vehicle. if you do you deserve to over pay.
Baby duramax all day everyday
Not to excited to hear about what their doing in 2022 with their engines..:. The 2022 frontier sounds like a better choice ... I’m pro American but proof is in the pudding
What are they doing with the engines? I might be getting a 2022 this coming weekend...do tell please>?
I have the same truck $37,000 out the door
These mid sized trucks are worth 20k at best but nah they have to sell them at 30-40k...
Kevin Roy - Did you time travel from the 80’s? Even honda civics and toyota corollas cost close to 25k in this era! However, i think midsize trucks should top out at 37k!
Bacnow No I was born in 1995, I think the price for new and even used trucks is ridiculous. Looking at 2009 Tacoma’s with 200k miles on the OD selling for 24k, that’s bull man. Don’t be a sucker and defend a 40k price tag for a V6 plastic/cloth interior small boy truck. For me take out all the BS gadgets, bells and whistles. I don’t flex my truck I just want something that performs.
@@RandomThinker10 I agree!
I paid 38k for my new 2019 black crew cab zr2... Maybe he didn’t want to include pricing with incentives but regardless this suggested trim pick is terrible lol
Considering pricing incentives vary greatly its hard to speak to them on a video like this
This is a 30k truck they want 41k wow what’s goin on with all the bigwigs
They want everyone deep in debt.....
Get an under 3 year old used whatever for under 25K with a V6 & under 30K with a V8.
Please explain the point of a short bed. You just want a truck cause it’s cool. Fine, but admit it
Most people driving pick up trucks just get them to have a truck. I rarely see people actually hauling or towing.
I got the shortbed cause home Depot and Lowe's deliver now 😆
Seriously the Tacoma is LESS $ than the Chevy. Where?
Think I could get it for 35k and we got a deal! no running boards though.
It’s not vinyl it’s leather
If you need sidesteps on you midsize truck, it's not a mid size truck. No idea why these things are all lifted so high that they are impractical
Fit and finish inside looks bad. Great review.
Its really not a bad looking truck but I could never trust any GM product again and certainly cant stand the look of the tacos
And the front of the Nissan Frontier looks just like the 2005 Pathfinder. So does the interior. So yawn worthy. Looks like an old man truck.
