I don't think the Colorado is worth posting on the Maverick forum because these trucks belong in two different categories. One is a mid-size body-on-frame pickup and one is a compact unibody. Also, the Colorado doesn't impose as a threat to Maverick's sales and I don't think it ever will. If Chevy comes out with their own compact unibody pickup, then it would be a different story. That would actually be worth posting on here.

How much? Starting at 50k? Noone can afford any of these trucks. Well, at least I cant. Sure, they're all nice. Was just looking at Rangers after not looking for a long time and looks like they start at about 45k, if you can find one, vs 25k a couple yrs ago realistically now. It's just getting worse and seems to be accelerating, the prices are actually rising faster and faster.

A new Colorado was cheaper than my Maverick. I had a 2016 and liked a lot of things about it but it had a TON of "GM" specific issues in the 68k miles I owned it-enough to keep me away from another one.
-steering shaft failed at 34k (warranty covered)
-driver's door armrest material shrunk and peeled up (not covered)
-driver's seat came unstitched at seam (not covered)
-Check engine light that would never go off no matter how much $$ was thrown at it
-All paint on roof and hood failed (not covered)
-Sloshing water sound in dash every time you accelerated (known issue with heater core)

It drove good, got good mileage and the infotainment was flawless-factory Kicker sub was great. Just too many problems for my liking. I am meticulous at keeping vehicles serviced and cleaned-none of this was abuse.

Rangers and Colorados start at a base price around $26-27,000.

Really hard to tell much from the teaser.

I always liked the Colorado style better than the Silverado. Overall it's been a solid truck for GM. Look forward to seeing the new version, and specs.

Don’t be stupid. Talking about electrical such as radio, keyless entry type issues. Never had to reset anything. Remote start always worked too. Glitches usually refer to electronics today.
Yes, that’s understandable because glitches only refer to those things…….in your mind.

Haven’t seen many in my area.

I would generally agree, but there was a guy either here or on the subreddit that went from a Maverick to a 55k hybrid Lexus. So...

Up here north of the woodchucks Chevy trucks come standard with heated tailgates.

True Story!!!!

That way when you have to push them off the roads in the winter you don't freeze your hands. :ROFLMAO: :LOL: :D

I've had none of those issues.

What year model? The 8-speed gasser?

My '17 had wiring harness failure. It's a well-known. Our Mavs will eventually have known issues too.

The Twins (GMC Canyon/Chevy Colorado) were the only mid-size left that came with a diesel. After GM dropped the diesel, I see no reason to get these new models.

I don't think the Colorado is worth posting on the Maverick forum because these trucks belong in two different categories. One is a mid-size body-on-frame pickup and one is a compact unibody.
So the only postings in the competitive thread should be about the Santa Cruz?!

This will be a ghost town pretty soon then.
