Summary
With 2,301 currently listed for sale and an average price of $20,696, 30.9% of 2018 Chevrolet Colorados for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado 4.54 / 5 stars.
64.9% of 2018 Colorado models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Chevrolet Colorado stands out as a midsize pickup that balances utility, drivability, and capability in a compact-enough package. For this generation, Chevrolet offered the Colorado 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 gave buyers two cargo box choices, and the crew cab could be had with either a 74-inch bed or a short 61.7-inch bed. That flexibility, along with rear-wheel drive as standard and four-wheel drive available, helped make the truck appealing to shoppers who wanted a practical pickup without moving up to something larger.
Powertrain choice is one of the Colorado’s defining strengths. In 2018, rear-drive trucks came with either a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine with 205 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque or a 3.6-liter V6 with 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet, while the Z71 and ZR2 were four-wheel-drive only and used the V6 as their base engine. The available 2.8-liter Duramax diesel, added in 2016, brought 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, plus a class-leading 7,700-pound towing capacity and up to 31 mpg on the highway. That combination of towing strength, efficiency, and trim-specific capability gives the 2018 Colorado a broad appeal, especially in mid-range and higher trims.
Inside, the Colorado was more functional than luxurious, but it did offer useful tech for the time. Base models had a 4.2-inch screen, higher trims got an 8-inch infotainment display, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were standard on the larger screen from the start. The truck’s weaknesses were also clear: the base four-cylinder and W.T. trims were not the strongest choices, and the model’s reliability record was hurt by early transmission problems, with recurring issues reported on trucks built from 2014 to 2019 and even a few later ones. Even so, the 2018 Colorado remained a solid companion with good value, especially for buyers who wanted a capable, manageable pickup with real towing ability and a wide spread of configurations.

2018 Z71, Crew Cab, Very nice truck overall. The V6 has plenty of power. Also, it has plenty of towing capacity. The fit and finish are quite nice, for the price. Apple Car Play is amazing. I was surprised that it didnt have push-button start. It is much more nimble and easy to park than my full size pickup it replaced. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants the utility of a truck, but doesnt need or have room for a full size model.

There are 2,297 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.
Is the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado a good car?
Yes — the 4.54/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise the smooth ride, decent gas mileage, good power, and towing capability, and many also like how easy it is to drive compared with a full-size truck. That makes the Colorado a sensible fit if you want a midsize pickup that balances utility and drivability without feeling oversized. With 30.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have room to shop carefully and still find value.
Is the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado reliable?
Owners rate it 4.54/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owner feedback also points to a truck that can be dependable and trouble-free for many buyers, with praise for its overall usefulness and everyday livability. At the same time, some owners mention mechanical concerns, so used shoppers should treat condition and maintenance history as important parts of the decision. For long-term ownership, the biggest risk is buying a truck with unresolved issues that could become expensive after purchase.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Chevrolet Colorado?
At 65% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any reported damage was repaired properly. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has higher mileage or incomplete service records. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and any drivability or transmission concerns before you commit.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Chevrolet Colorado?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay patient.
- Deal availability: 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,297 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.30% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 65.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $20,460, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado's resale value?
The current average of $20,652 sits slightly below last year's $22,277.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and trim appeal than on broad market momentum. If you keep the truck well maintained and avoid accident history, you give yourself a better chance of holding value.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.54/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 65% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.30% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.54/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $21,989, the 2019 costs more than the current year's $20,652 average.
- It leans into available diesel and off-road capability.
The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2018 is the stronger starting point because it combines lower pricing with solid owner satisfaction and plenty of listings to compare. If you're willing to pay more for a newer model year and want its added capability focus, the 2019 is the better secondary path.
