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.
The current market reflects the Colorado's wide-ranging utility. Early, high-mileage work trucks make up the low end of the market, while well-equipped second-generation Z71 and ZR2 models represent the bulk of sales. The average sale price sits around $22,500, but low-mileage ZR2 Bison editions can push prices toward the top of the market.
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.
Prices range from $465 for early project trucks to $55,000 for late-model, high-spec variants.
