The WORST Chevy Colorado You Should Avoid

[@FoodyTunes]

They didn’t sell the Chevrolet Colorado in model years 2013 and 2014, that’s why there are no complaints lodged. It’s impossible.

[@FoodyTunes]

In Canada and the US, I mean. They still sold the global model elsewhere but I don’t think you’re talking about that model in your video.

[@everymandriver]

My bad... I was just going off the graphic. Thanks for catching my oversight.

[@TheRabid0ne]

At 2:20 you recommend the 2013 and 2014 as the best bets... however you should have done your homework and noticed that there WERE no Colorados for sale in north america as 2013/2014 model years.

[@everymandriver]

My bad... I was just going off the graphic. Thanks for catching my oversight. Sorry to waste your time.

[@marbs34]

Everyman Driver don’t be sorry ever, just thank them for their time and or contribution. I came here to leave the same comment and decided to find someone had already made it so that you don’t get hit over the head with the same thing over and over. I’m watching for a few reasons,most of it is because you keep it real, as in realistic, part of it is the Spokane connection, and finally you tend to get facts right. I won’t buy a Colorado because financially you get almost the same amenities for a larger truck when you buy a Silverado, and you end up with more truck behind all those features. In my opinion the only reasons to buy a midsized truck is because you want a 4 cyl engine for a work only truck that you won’t tow with and or because you want to be able to park your vehicle near the front entrance when out shopping. So Dave, I ask you this, when did the Colorado get a newer transmission that had more than six forward gears? I’m asking because you can do better than this if you want to that is.

Remember to NEVER buy any 1st year of a new generation vehicle. Wait a few years after they fixed all the kinks. My 2018 Colorado has been solid. Bought it at 30k miles and it has 93k miles now. Haven't had 1 issue and I beat the heck out of it on and off road. Love this truck! Brakes and MPGs are better than a Ranger or Tacoma. Only complain I have is that the OEM leaf springs in the back are bouncy on the non zr2 models. Upgraded to the ARB OME springs and it rides on cloud 9 now :)

[@tacuazinful]

Is your colorado the 3.6 V6 8 speed?

[@gravitygabri3l]

@tacuazinful Yes the 2018+ Colorados has a better EVAP system to purge out the gasses from the crankcase, leading to less oil in the intake. The pre 2018s get dirty.

I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 4x4 with 45k miles. My wife and I drove from Florida to Jackson hole wy in April for Yellowstone's first day to open.

[@cruze898]

2015 & 16 , have 6 speed transmissions. They will not break down on you or leave you stranded, they just are always looking for a higher gear for fuel economy. There actually good transmissions. In 17 and above GM went to the 8 speed with the 6cyl. (Not the 4cyl). The 8 speed is crap. Stay away from it. !!! The diesel and 4cyl still to this day, use the 6 speed, and it’s a good transmission. I have a 15 , 3.6 ltr with 6 speed, 160.000 miles, daily driver, bought new, never had 1 problem with. It’s a great truck, contrary to what this guy says.

Get your dealer to reflash the computer. There was an update. I had my 16 Canyon done 2 years ago. It's like night and day better.

[@truckinman86]

The nice thing about the 6 speed in the diesel is that it actually doesn’t try to get to 6th gear as fast as possible. It actually behaves more like an Allison and holds lower gears longer than the gas variants.

[@Horatio1886build]

People should know some of these you tube guys ( not all by any stretch but some) are lazy just using a AI program to throw together a little click bait. Really misleading. Both generations of Colorados have been pretty good trucks. Fuel efficient reliable, durable after sorting out some initial problems ( like all modern cars/ trucks with a few exceptions. I was a dealer tech for several years. Even Toyotas have their issues( worked at old Koons Toyota MD VA DC)And god knows Mercedes Benz arrrg,!-many models are over priced junk( iI was a Benz tech 1986-89) Use critical thinking skills when researching or listening to idiots that really know nothing about the real world of servicing these complex systems on these modern vehicles.

Chevy addressed the engine and trans hesitation on the 2015. It took awhile (I think a year, maybe slightly longer) for Chevy to come up with a fix, but after they reprogrammed the computer it’s like having a new truck. No hesitation at all now, huge power instantly going up hills and getting on the freeways when pressing the accelerator pedal unlike when I first purchased it. The dealer recommended not using Costco gas or Arco and use Chevron. That made a difference with engine ping which was mostly noticed going up hills. Now with the engine/trans being reprogrammed and Chevron fuel (regular), my trucks runs smoothly.

[@thomaslehmann5981]

I had that reflash done by my dealer on my 2016 Canyon 3.6 v6. Unbelievable difference. Always in the right gear even on hilly, twisty blacktop roads. Feels like I gained 50 hp. Gave up maybe 1 mpg.

[@carbonking53]

Your dealer fed you a lie about Costco gas. Virtually all gas in any given area comes from the same tank farm. Same gas to every station in the area. Chevron and Shell claim they add a detergent to keep you fuel system cleaner. Even that's up for dispute as I have talked to tanker drivers and they say they take the same fuel to all brands' stations. You can add a bottle of $5 fuel system cleaner every 3000 miles to your tank and keep buying Costco or Sam's Club gas imo.

I had a 2009 Straight 5 extended cab WT in our service fleet . Great durable economical truck.

Alot of service depts still don't know that or ... well you know. I still consider Colorados both gens a good value. Starter motors a little hard to get too, some people " modify " their drivers side wheel well to get to it. But mine made it to like 160k before needing starter. Sometimes exhaust manifold will crack in high water. The rest is normal things that go on modern cars. Ie steering wheel sensor angle " clock" spring air bag warning crushed wire by plastic panel. Seen all the same problems with all other makes. Thanks I have spend quite a few years in automotive service. Don't trust all you tubers.

I love my 2016 Colorado and after 110,000 miles it's still going strong, is reliable and looking good. I do typically garage my truck, so that may help. Since 2016 and 110,000 miles I have never had to replace brake pads or rotors, and I tow a boat and jet skis frequently. I don't baby it and don't abuse it. My first set of Goodyear tires lasted over 60,000 miles and my second set still has plenty of tread. I change the oil using Valvoline Synthetic about every 6,000 miles, have had the limited slip differential serviced once, keep the filters clean and that's about it. In the beginning I had it in the shop for a lot for rattles, and interior panel alignment issues (I'm pretty picky about that). Once I had the AC quit under the extended warranty and the compressor had to be replaced. The transmission is reliable but is a little sluggish when downshifting, especially in traffic. Sometimes I put it in trailer mode to compensate and that works fine. I believe that the 8 speed transmission starting in 2017 alleviated that problem. Short of those few and minor issues, it's been a great truck and I highly recommend it. So don't let this KZbin video scare you off. Go for it.

[@thomaslehmann5981]

@@PalmettoNDN I hear ya and I was also waiting for the ranger but I can't stand how they look. At my workplace we use the dodge promasters and they are already falling apart at 30k. Transmission and electrical issues. My buddy has a old Nissan titan think a 09 and has over 300k.

@@PalmettoNDN everbody's got a dumb story. the last video i was on guy was talking about how the nissans are made of paper and blow up at 20k miles. btw 228k isn't even unusual anymore, hell people want 15k, 20k for colorados, rangers, frontier, tacoma with 200k miles on nowdays. i think my dad's tacoma was well over 300k miles and still running well. my 08 canyon is already at 130 without issue. and my dad paid like 24k for his tacoma with already 100k miles (granted trd off road edition, he probably got a steal at that price tbh)

Have a 2020 Colorado LT no issues with almost 40k has lots of power and way more then my 2006 Ranger and it's motor gave up the ghost at 135K put in a Powerline long block for 2k should not have to do that at 135k and a baby it never getting a ford again

[@PalmettoNDN]

I don't know about the Colorado but I can tell you the transmissions in the police Tahoes are utterly worthless. I have a friend that works for an agency that uses them and on his way to take the trucks in a convoy from the dealer to the emergency outfitter where all the police items are put in it in a town 50 miles away, 2 of the transmissions out of 7 went out on the interstate. They had to be towed back to the dealer. Y'all enjoy your Chevys. I hate my Charger patrol car, but at least it works.

my girlfriend has a 2018 colorado and the ignition won't let key come out. shook steering wheel and tried other ideas. brought to dealer and even under warranty, they don't think there is a problem and won't fix. i would think when you pay so much for a vehicle and it comes with a warrantee, that they would fix it. seems more and more that chevys are made with poor quality and won't try to fix until after warantee and then you have to pay to fix it. it is very sad that this is how they want to do business

Had a 1997 Chevy Blazer that put me through hell and back with all of the problems. Fast forward to today and the Colorado/Canyon both of which I really like. Of course I'm extremely jaded to even think about either based on what I experienced with GM in general. Very honestly I'm shocked GM is still in business with ALL of the stories you read or hear of. Conversely, I've had a Toyota truck and Honda vehicles (3) and NONE of them had problems whatsoever over 20 years of ownership. Funny, I don't dare tell my wife I like GM Products again based on what we went through. She might actually consider divorcing me she would get that mad...! LOL...!

Be helpful to know WHICH transmission shifts so poorly. I’m assuming the 6-speed automatic.

[@octavio152]

The 8 speed, the only issue the 6 speed I saw in the 5 years working on them was the torque converter hairline crack on the 6 speed. The 8 speed is a disaster. Avoid it

Is it a 4x4 because I’m interested in the exact model just concerned because my master tech told me in high mileage the brakes tend to be triple due to a part that tends to break I’m looking for information on that specific issue but there is none reported and I’m concerned it was his own experience on a one time vehicle

And I don’t want that to discourage me because it is the perfect truck at the perfect price, all with the brakes needing to be done soon.

[@MrWhitelightning73]

I see they have 4cylinder engines now. Seems like too heavy for a small motor. I guess 6 cylinder would be enough

[@GH-oi2jf]

The 4-cylinder gas emgine is 150 ci and 200 hp. It has as much power and torque as the classic Chevy inline six of yore. It is enough for a midsized pickup. Most people get the V6, however.

[@palebeachbum]

The 4cyl is 200hp and is enough for commuting and light towing and hauling. You only need the V6 if you plan on pulling heavy trailers, boat, or a camper. The 6spd auto with the 4cyl is the better transmission as well.
