What Owners are Saying About the 2006 Chevrolet Colorado Regular Cab

"Great Truck"

"ive had this truck for 4.5 years and the mileage has gone from 59K to 147K since ive had it. The only thing Ive needed done outside the routine maintenance is a new throttle body and a thermostat. It isnt particularly fun to drive and doesnt have a ton of power, but thats not something you can expect to get in a 2wd 5 cyl pickup truck. What it lacks in performance it makes up for in reliability and mpg. I also use it to tow an 18' aluminum boat and it does the job just fine, never had an issues pulling the boat up the ramp. I bought this truck because i needed something cheap to run but that could still do everything i needed it to as a pickup and it has been better than i could have hoped. Im currently looking to upgrade to a full size pickup but feel confident that my colorado could go for another 100k miles."

"We are very pleased with this truck."

"We bought this truck in 2012. It had about 45,000 miles. It has 100,000 miles now and performs beautifully."

"Cheap work truck"

"Plastic, cheap interior. 185 hp 4 cyl motor plenty peppy. Basic work truck, manual windows, etc. Not the quality of a Nissan or Toyota, but, much cheaper. Yes I'd buy again."
