2023 Chevrolet Colorado Review: The maverick midsize pickup

The new 2023 Chevrolet Colorado is the first in a series of revamped midsized pickups. It makes an impressive entrant, borrowing much of the interior from the new full-size Chevy Silverado, but still embracing the smaller feel of the prior generation.
With impressive handling and thoughtful design, the new Chevrolet Colorado is a pickup worth considering.

Looking forward to your zr2 review to compare it to my Bison. Also, the ole Mazda is running like a top!

[@prndlcars]

Oh man, amazing! What a glorious little car. How many miles now? Should never have sold it 😂😂

[@Daleejr08]

125kish did a rear wheel bearing last year and a battery so far. Besides oil and filters etc.

[@davidbook336]

Could you please tell us what your overall fuel economy was on your test drive

[@prndlcars]

I didn’t look, and it wouldn’t be a fair test honestly. We did a lot of off roading and a fair bit of idling at stops. I’ll have to wait to get more than a few hours with it to give a good fuel economy number. Sorry about that, I just don’t want to give you something misleading.

[@chrisward3110]

That's a nice truck!

[@prndlcars]

It sure is!

[@arodtube]

I want this bad.

[@jarenci1]

Nice truck, but as trucks are getting larger, so does the price tag. In 2017 the Z71 was around 35k

[@prndlcars]

Another reason why the Ford Maverick exists… hmmm, will Chevy ever compete with it?

[@michaelbury1941]

@@prndlcars Maverick is over 40k CDN if equipped at a mid level

[@bobbysmith9411]

Out of all the midsized trucks we’re would you rank this new generation Colorado? Tia

[@prndlcars]

Top of the heap, if for nothing else than it’s newest and has best design and tech. Gotta wait for the rest to catch up…

[@RossMalagarie]

@@prndlcars I think this year and next is the years of the mid sized trucks. We will see what all the other mid sized trucks have to offer but I am loving the 23' Trail Boss

[@michaelbury1941]

Z71 with 20 inch tires is not the off road version

[@mdbangsund]

It's not the Maverick size at all its bigger.

[@prndlcars]

Yes, quite a bit bigger than the Maverick. But the feature set in the base model reminds me of the XL Maverick and how well equipped that truck is.

[@Garlander]

He said it's like a bigger maverick in the video

[@petemcfeet28]

Not a truck guy.

[@josephbreen9955]

But you still have the 8 speed I do not trust the 8 speed

[@tonygunk9749]

I really think the Colorado is larger than a Ford Maverick.

[@prndlcars]

It is! I wasn’t talking about size.

[@Meg8554]

You mean the ford ranger ?

[@prndlcars]

No, the Maverick - the Work Truck of the Colorado reminds me of the XL Maverick. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Of course they are different sizes but...
