I bought the truck new in 2011. Regular cab 1 Lt 4X4
Currently the frame rails have rust up and down them. I expect the rust to eat through the thin frame rails in less than 10 years from now.
My 99 Dakota has thicker frame rails and also more black paint on them.
Very Dissapointed

After having 2 friends buying colorados and the good review i went and bought a new one in august 2011. I just bought the lt1 2wd with auto trans. For first month everything was great. Then when starting truck it would spit and sputter until it made this weird vacuum noise. took to dealer and they put new parts on and still didnt help. Then my turn signal switch started messing up. Last but not least when starting it makes a bad chain dragging noise that we have yet to figure out. this happened with less then 4k miles and i keep extra good care of my vehicles. Looking to trade in for a import truck. my 95z28 with 130k miles has no problems. but a new truck has a lot. I wouldnt buy again.
Nice Truck !!!

1600 miles on it and quite satisfied so far. I pulled a small pop-up trailer less than 100 miles and
I was very impressed by the trailering aspects of the vehicle. The gas mileage was 14.5 per gal on the round trip.
In summary good value, good looking black truck.

Looked at all available options in the small truck field. Dodge, Ford, etc. For price and looks, this truck was the winner by far. After putting my first 1000 miles on it, I am very impressed to say the least. Fuel economy is as good or better than my four cylinder small car. Rides like a dream. Looks like a keeper for me. Can' get the wife to let me drive it. lol
Step up from my Sonoma

After first 600 miles, I LOVE it... Had 95 Sonoma for 162K miles & this was logical choice to upgrade. Very glad I did. Very fun, and responsive. Many comments about how beautiful/pretty & I correct that this is a "Buff/Handsome" truck.
