I bought the exactly same truck but the v6 gas engine,Z71 loaded with bose,navigation, sprayed bed liner, black fender flare, black bow tie option in lazer blue. Best buy i've ever made. Bigger is not alway better. This truck is more than i need. Best looking truck i've seen so far. A 2016 Tacoma owner told last weekend that he paid 5k more for a less equip truck.

Hows your truck now ? I'm looking at getting one but I've been reading alot about transmission issues

I bought this exact model and I'm thrilled with it. paid 40900 CDN with identical options (they threw in a bed extender as well). Didn't need a fullsize and the truck drives like a dream.

Hi Do you still kept it???

Mine was 2015 Z71 Colorado V6 4X4 Crewcab, paid 37 grand, its way cheaper than a TRD Sport Tacoma. I had 30K kilometers and its rock solid.

I test drove the diesel Z71- looking for truck with a better towing capability then my Pathfinder. The ride felt good and power more then enough - the little 2 things I did not like about it was no keyless start and the steering wheel blocked the upper part of the gauges. I put the set all the way up, I like to sit high, and then tilted steering all the way up and found I was having to drop my head to see the full view of the gauges and I am only 5'9". Other than those two minor issues I thought the truck was nice -- but I am still not liking the pricing - but apparently they are selling faster then pancakes on a Sunday. Nice review - cheers, Patrick

Thanks for a positive review.

I love how all the reviews have the most expensive package and complain about price. The WT with the V6 and a decent amount of extras cost a little more than 25K brand new from the factory.

That's the kind of deal I can get behind. So far, I've been working on a z71, Cyber Gray, LT Crew at around 33k. Would be great to get a nice little price cut from that. How are you liking it? I so miss having a truck :)

Almost 7k miles and it's been solid. Averaging around 24-25.5 gallons per tank. Tows with no effort and the exhaust brake works great. Only thing I wish was better are the headlights.

Yes, you can (with discounts) buy a $28,000 Colorado (2wd WT V6 crew cab) or a $43,000 one (ZR2). They're basically the same when it comes to doing work. A $28,000 full size pickup is either a vinyl seat regular cab or a deeply discounted year-end model.

I bought a 2016 v6 midnight edition I paid 50k tax in. It was a lot higher then I wanted to pay, but I live in the city. Its an awesome truck to be taking into under ground parking and even a regular parking lot as you have a few extra inches (compared to a full sized truck) on ether side of the truck which is actually a big deal... I've since put 25K on the truck and haven't ad a single hiccup with it. Unless you're using your truck for work and hauling everyday you really don't need a full sized truck. It doesn't actually make you're thing bigger... lol

It'd be nice to get reviews on trucks from people who actually use them to do more than move a TV home from the store now and then.

What’s wrong with a smaller truck costing more? A ton of coal is $40 while a much smaller 1 carat diamond is about $ 4000. Sometimes smaller is just more expensive.

WOW it's 11:33 am here right now and I see the clock at 1:54 LOL

Looks good

It does not cost as much with similar equipment. The full size with a decent enough engine to move the weight will be $6000-$8000 more unless it's a leftover model with huge rebates, which doesn't really count, does it?

thats a sweet color

i think its funny that people always say these mid size trucks feel under powered, 309 hp shouldn't feel under powered. although i guess it depends what youre comparing it to. compared to a v8, yes, compared to a 4 cyl, no. ive never had a problem with how the v6 engines performed, and i've worked at many dealerships and driven all sorts of vehicles. Trust me when i say 300 HP is more than enough to give you good passing power on the road

Yeah the V6 has more than enough power. But I think what these reviewers are talking about; is how GM calibrated the transmission and gas pedal. The people who threw a tuner into their truck has said that the difference between stock and tuned is like night and day; and it's how GM should have tuned their trucks. Some people mention the need to switch the tune to a economical tune for winter because it's putting too much power to the wheels for snow and icy roads. But yeah; the V6 is a good engine.

Our family car gets to 60mph in 4.9 sec. This truck is NOT slow. It is plenty rewarding to drive empty and any more power just means trouble in a pickup.

even loaded up it still under cuts the tacoma in price, you could get a GMC canyon with a nicer interior softer ride for the price of a tacoma.

Derek D That's what the tacoma is too. All cheap plastic. I have a tacoma lol. I've had a plethora of problems with the tacoma, and from what I'm reading and experiencing, the issues aren't uncommon. Don't be one of those people who think tacomas are godsend trucks that are 500,000 mile trucks that get 25mpg on your way to and from work. Cuz they aren't. Especially the newer ones. I love the truck but to act as if it's less cheap or more thought out than it's competitors is foolish to say.

My dad's 2015 tacoma is SEVERELY outdated than my 2016 Colorado. Chevy knows how to do interiors very well

what is the overall lenght of this truck? what model you recommend for short bed?

Can the Chevy Trailblazers return to the US to?

The Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon are about $5K more than a comparably equipped Toyota Tacoma. I think this is the very key reason the Tacoma remains the best selling mid size pickup in the US.

I definitely want to step away from my full size Ford F-150 7700, reg cab, 8 foot bed, triton v8. Way too much and too big. I'll give it some time and when I have the money I may just jump on the Colorado

Love watching those rock finders scrape the dirt at 5:07 Considering this is supposed to be competition (however laughable) for the Tacoma and Frontier, you did a hell of a job convincing us the Colorado drives like a car by taking everywhere except off road (unpaved well maintained dirt roads don't count here).

The less-than 1% of owners who routinely go off-road should buy a Toyota. Or now, a ZR2!

It's unforgivable that you have to pay more to buy a smaller diesel powered truck than you would to buy a full-sized truck. Why is that? That doesn't make any sense. I like the idea of a 2.8 litre Duramax turbo diesel, but seriously?! I like trucks like the Toyota Tacoma, except for its lack of a turbo diesel engine.

Power locking tailgate?!??!

I know, right? I bought a 2019 Z71 and that's not even an option.

I bought one brand new, my link did not work, no heat, put itself into four wheel drive!

They said this truck neatly costs as much as the larger Silverado. What a ridiculous statement. The price of your truck includes all of the options purchased. Yeah, purchase the Bose speakers (more than $500) and all the other options and you will pay a lot for this truck. So what? Want a cheaper truck, then don’t buy very option.

WT? Seems appropriate.

Great "American" truck? CarGrus must be paid by GM... Tacoma is more "American" than the Colorado, and if CarGrus don't know that as journalists, then they are hopeless...
