CarGurus Analysis: 2017 Chevrolet Colorado

Summary
With 2,013 currently listed for sale and an average price of $18,610, 29.2% of 2017 Chevrolet Colorados for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado 4.73 / 5 stars.
63.7% of 2017 Colorado models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado stands out as a midsize pickup that balances everyday usability with real capability. In this generation, Chevrolet offered it in just two U.S. cab configurations: an extended cab with reverse-opening rear doors and a crew cab with full doors and more rear legroom. It also came with useful cargo-box choices, including a 74-inch bed and, on the crew cab, a short 61.7-inch bed option. That mix of configurations, along with rear-wheel drive as standard and four-wheel drive available, helped make the Colorado flexible for both work and personal use.
Powertrain choice is one of the Colorado’s biggest strengths. For 2017, rear-drive trucks could be had with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine or a 3.6-liter V6, while the higher trims were four-wheel-drive only and used the V6 as their base engine. The available 2.8-liter Duramax Diesel added 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, and it brought a class-leading 7,700-pound towing capacity plus up to 31 mpg on the highway. That capability is a major reason the Colorado appealed to buyers looking for more than just basic truck duty.
The 2017 model also offered a more modern cabin than many rivals of its era, even if the interior was still fairly basic in places. Higher trims could get an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while lower trims used a smaller 4.2-inch screen. Chevrolet also made advanced safety features available on more than just the base truck, though the Colorado’s safety tech still lagged behind some competitors. Its main drawback was reliability: models from 2014 to 2019 were known for recurring eight-speed automatic transmission problems, and early trucks also had HVAC issues and some V6 complaints. Even so, the 2017 Colorado remains appealing for shoppers who want a compact-feeling truck with strong towing, useful configurations, and a broad range of trims.

The owner feedback highlights reliability as a strength, along with a reputation for being dependable and useful over time. That said, the model’s long-term ownership picture is best approached with care because some used examples may carry transmission-related concerns and other age-related wear. For you, that means a careful pre-purchase inspection matters if you want to reduce the risk of expensive surprises later.
What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Chevrolet Colorado?
At 63.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report so you can confirm accident records, title status, and service history before you commit. After that, prioritize a thorough inspection of the truck’s mechanical condition, especially how it shifts, drives, and responds under load. Focus on overall condition and maintenance evidence, since those details matter most when you’re comparing used examples.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Chevrolet Colorado?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 29.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,999 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.59% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 63.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $18,336, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado's resale value?
The current average of $18,612 sits slightly below last year's $19,714.
That price movement suggests the truck has softened enough to give you a better entry point today, but it also means future resale gains may be more gradual if the market stays soft. If you buy well and keep the truck in strong condition, you can help protect value when it’s time to sell. Demand should remain supported by the model’s broad appeal, especially among shoppers who want a midsize pickup with real utility.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.73/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2017 if:
- 29.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 63.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.59% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.73/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2016 if:
- At $16,958, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $18,612 average.
- It offers a smaller, city-friendly footprint with useful everyday versatility.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around shopping position, the 2017 is the better primary target because it combines solid owner satisfaction with a softer price trend and decent deal availability. If your top priority is spending less up front, the 2016 is the better secondary path, especially if its lower average price matters more than the newer-year market position.
