Good luck, we have a 2008 extended cab and as you, we were always a Bow-tie family.
We were excited about our first new truck,after 30,000 miles the transmission went bad. At 80,000 the intake manifold and cylinder head went bad. at 130,000 the transmission went a 2nd time. None of these issues turned our heads from being a Chevy family, but the final straw was the dealer who did the service they were the worst.
Good luck with your new Colorado. As for us the next truck will be something other than a Chevy. Hope the dealer is better than any of the ones in the upstate ny area.
Your experience is the exact opposite of my son's experience with his 2008 extended cab Colorado, bought new in November 2008.
He had 129K on the odometer when he finally traded it in. Problems...yes. A leaking power steering hose and a bad radio speaker. That's it.
He had the 5 cylinder and the Z 71 package.
He lives where the winters are long...about 5 1/2 months, snow is heavy and the temp plunges down to -25 to -35 C for sometimes weeks at a time.
Many times at work, there was no available plug in and his vehicle would be outside for 10 hours or more. Always quick start ups.
Consumer reports (yes, I know, it's all made up stuff, bla bla) had the Colorado at the top of it's most unreliable list in ~2009 Link.
Luckily, I don't think the new truck has ANYTHING to do with the old ones, so I wouldn't use past performance as a predictor of the future.
Sounds like you actually believe what CR has to say on subjects. As I indicated before, my son's experience with his 2008 Chevy Colorado was excellent.
