Chevrolet Colorado Submodels
The Chevrolet Colorado arrived in 2004 as the successor to the venerable S-10. The first generation (2004-2012) shared its platform with the Isuzu D-Max and offered a unique inline 5-cylinder engine alongside a standard 4-cylinder. A 5.3L V8 became available in 2009, creating a rare factory hot rod truck. After a brief pause, the second generation launched in 2015, growing in size and bringing new V6 and Duramax diesel engine options.
Collector interest is focused on two specific areas. The first-generation V8 models are sought after for their rarity and impressive power-to-weight ratio. For modern enthusiasts, the second-generation ZR2 (2017+) is the main draw. It features sophisticated Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers, locking differentials, and a wider track, making it a formidable off-roader from the showroom floor. The even more capable AEV-upfitted ZR2 Bison commands a premium.
Buying Tips
- Look for the rare 5.3L V8 offered from 2009-2012; it's the most collectible first-gen variant.
- On second-gen trucks, especially ZR2 models, inspect the frame and skid plates for damage from heavy off-roading.
- The ZR2's Multimatic DSSV dampers are a key feature but expensive to replace, so check them carefully for leaks.
- If considering the 2.8L Duramax diesel, review maintenance records to ensure consistent oil and fuel filter service.
