2006 Chevrolet Colorado Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The truck has been perfect and the gas mileage is much higher than the EPA rated it. The cab is super quiet. Truck tracks perfect with 80,000 miles on it and seems like it wants to coast forever.Engine and trans are super smooth. The truck has shown no signs of wear and other than one set of tires and front brakes only this mostly city driven Colorado comes very highly recommended. I love this truck!

I bought this truck new in the summer of '06 with every option available (the 3LT) including trailering setup. It has been a really dependable truck. Once I put the bed cover on it my mileage on long trips was as high as 25 mpg. Once they switched to ethanol blends, my mileage is still about 22 on the interstate and 19 around town. The 3.5 has plenty of power even when towing my 19' center console boat. The ride is comfortable and the leather full power seats w/ heat can't be beat. The back seat is a different story. it can comfortably fit 2 garden gnomes, anything larger is scrunched up. I have 106K miles and maintenance has been minimum. I did a full brake job recently, changed the thermostat and hoses, and solenoid on the charcoal canister. Other than that, zero problems. And the brakes really didn't need it, just thought after 100k they should. I just wish they still made them this year.

Well built only thing is the rust is typical in this model

I love the handling and towing of this mid-sized truck but the shorter bed makes hauling longer items a bit harder than a full-size bed. The fuel economy is one of the best, especially for a truck and the comfort is spot on.

The Chevy Colorado is an excellent truck to own. It's moderately powerful, but it's very hard working. The build of the design is phenomenal, it's durable and can haul a lot of weight. It's about as fun as a truck can be to drive. The only thing I regret is being stubborn and getting the Regular cab, I like the look of the reg over the ext cab, but it's cramped sometimes. I also wish it was a stick, but good luck finding one of those. Aside from those two things it's great, and the 4wd performs great in the weather. It's an all around good truck, mileage is 18/22.

My review in a nutshell: Great work truck. Does very well for fuel efficiency. I would recommend this truck to anyone looking for a light duty work truck who may be concerned about spending too much money on both fuel and repairs.

This truck rides good but lacks in power. Will pull my boat but I would hate to pull anything bigger. 5 foot bed is a little small. Overall a great truck and I have not had no major problems. Hope to get a full size truck next.

I bought it for fuel mileage, so I can't really beef about the performance too much, though it does have enough that it's still fun to drive, and gets close to 30 MPG. It also has relatively solid construction, and a lot of convenience features. For the mileage, it's hard to beat in a pickup.

Wish it was a 4 wheel drive extended cab but that costs a little more. But it does everything I need it to and I don't get stuck in the snow so maybe it doesn't need to be 4 wheel drive.

Get one if you're planning on using the bed only on occasion. And when carrying load you're not in a rush, because power is seriously lacking. Its a truck, so handling was not great, but since this truck is so slow that shouldn't be much of an issue.
