We like the 2022 Colorado a lot. The crew-cab cabin is spacious, and the tech interface is straightforward and effective. Compared to the Honda Ridgeline, Jeep Gladiator and Toyota Tacoma, the Colorado occupies a nice middle ground. It's a well-rounded truck, providing a little bit of something for everyone and compromises very little along the way.

Best truck I purchased
5 out of 5 starsColorado Joe, 05/07/2022
2021 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.1 ft. SB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
I have had my Colorado now for almost a year and I have had no issues whatsoever, the gas mileage is great and it drives smooth. It’s also a very comfortable drive and plenty of room inside. It tows perfect and I love the quality of the interior materials (very easy to clean and maintain) It also handles perfectly with no loud noises or vibration. It has a very good acceleration when you … need to merge on the freeways and going uphills. I took it out for an off-road test on private property with steep hills and sharp inclines and rocky terrain. I used to take my JK in these same trails and I will tell you personally that this truck handles as good as a Jeep (with the exception of rock climbing) which personally I haven’t tried yet, but it does what I need it to do and gets great gas mileage, comfortable, and stylish. I strongly recommend getting this truck to anyone. No regrets
Good Budget Truck

2021 Chevrolet Colorado LT 4dr Crew Cab 6.2 ft. SB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
After two weeks with my Colorado LT 4 door V6 I can say that I really like the truck.
PRO: Smooth, very quiet ride, no rattles. You sit up as high allowing for a great view. Great ground clearance, class-leading bed space and economy, strong engine V6. Great infotainment system and great sounding standard speakers / stereo.
CON: Minimal knee space / leg room front and back. I've hit … my knee on the lighting switch a few times and I really have to watch it when I get in (horrid location for that switch). Seats are a bit on the stiff side but not bad enough to be a problem. The headlights are pathetically weak, some of the worst out there. I purchased a full set of high and low beam LEDs from Alla, installed them myself, and that made a world of difference. Consider this a mandatory $139 upgrade if you like to see at night. Brake pedal started out a bit soft but nearing 750 miles it has begun to feel a bit more solid (the brakes do get the job done). Overall interior materials are cheap, and experience tells me that the type of long plastic air vents used here will break over time being moved around (I'm very gentle with them as a result). The HVAC blower is absurdly loud on the highest setting, but it does move a lot of air turned up that high and noise isn't an issue on lower settings.
It may sound like I have a lot of negatives there for four stars, but overall I'm happy with the truck and understand that there's a reason that it costs 8-9 grand less than a similarly set up Silverado. The money here was clearly put into building a strong work-horse that rides as smooth and quietly as a luxury car, all in a shorter / thinner package (it's still quite tall). That came at the expense of cheaper interior components and knee space, but I'm OK with the balance Chevy struck here.
Riding High In Style

2021 Chevrolet Colorado LT 4dr Crew Cab 6.2 ft. SB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
Went from a Silverado Crew Cab to a 2021 Colorado Crew Cab and so far it was a great move for several reasons much better gas mileage easier to drive I am 80 years old little easier to get in and out of. You lose some room in the backseat but it’s a little easier in the front area too reach the glove box. So far
so good with the trade you can’t beat Chevy that’s for sure. Very pleased.
The Colorado Work Truck Is Elegant Simplicity

2021 Chevrolet Colorado Work Truck 4dr Extended Cab SB (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
In the old days, back when trucks were little more than an engine and seat, we called basic trucks "stripped down" versions. When I teased the salesman that this was stripped down, he self-righteously corrected me that it is a work truck. To GM's credit, and to his, he is right. It is more than just an engine and seat. But still it isn't for everyone. It lacks numerous creature comforts … that people have become accustomed to, like power mirrors, power seats, climate control, and it even lacks an Onstar unit. Until now I thought GM put Onstar in everything. But on the brighter side, it has cruise control, air conditioning, and a bluetooth touch screen sound system.
It has 2-wheel drive and a 2.5 liter four cylinder engine, which means reduced offroading and payloads. But it's no slouch. It has a six-speed transmission, will still pull 3500 pounds and the four cylinder engine produces 200 hp without a turbo. For those who don't know or don't remember, the antiquated 283 V8 with a single carb produced only 188 hp. Like I said, it's no slouch. And I love the curb appeal. It's a beautiful truck and allows me a lot of dignity.
Bottom line, I live alone and share the truck with no one. I don't need electric seats or mirrors because they never move. I don't go offroad and I don't pull trailers. I'm an old retired guy that likes camping and garage sales. It's perfect for me and for others like me.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado, so we've included reviews for other years of the Colorado since its last redesign.
