Powered by a robust 2.7L turbocharged engine and equipped with advanced features, it’s engineered for owners who prioritize low total cost of ownership and lasting utility.

Pragmatic buyers seeking a mid-size truck that excels in reliability, ruggedness, and everyday utility will appreciate this Colorado. Its 4WD system, all-weather floor liners, and spray-on bedliner offer confidence for work or leisure, while features like heated and ventilated seats, navigation, and dual-zone climate enhance comfort throughout years of use.

A proven powertrain underpins the Colorado, featuring a 2.7L I4 Turbocharged engine delivering 310 hp paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Owners benefit from a reputation for reaching 150,000+ miles with consistent scheduled maintenance. The 3.42 rear axle ratio and independent front suspension balance towing strength with ride comfort, supporting long-term reliability.

Safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Alert, and Automatic Emergency Braking directly contribute to protecting your investment and minimizing potential repair costs. Standard ABS, stability control, and a rear camera further reduce risk of accidents, making safety equipment an important part of the truck’s overall value proposition.

The Z71 trim includes the Preferred Equipment Group 4Z7 and Z71 Convenience Package III, bringing Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable driver’s seat, and 18-inch gloss aluminum wheels. Spray-on bedliner, cargo tie-down rings, and integrated navigation mean fewer aftermarket add-ons are needed, lowering ownership costs.

Ownership costs for the Colorado Z71 compare favorably to the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger. Its turbo engine offers similar or better longevity, while resale values remain strong due to Chevrolet’s reputation. Fewer required add-ons and durable interior materials keep depreciation and out-of-pocket expenses lower than many segment rivals.

Routine oil changes are typically needed every 7,500 miles, and the powertrain’s design supports extended intervals between major services. Estimated fuel economy is competitive, with city and highway mileage aligning with other mid-size trucks. Chevrolet’s warranty covers basic components for 3 years/36,000 miles and the powertrain for 5 years/60,000 miles, supporting confidence in long-term reliability.
