Is the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners describe the Colorado as a truck they’re happy to live with, and the recurring praise for performance and comfort points to a vehicle that many buyers can count on day to day. The expert evaluation also emphasizes the Colorado’s simplicity and sensibility, which supports its reputation as a straightforward truck rather than a complicated one.

Chevrolet also notes that the truck is easy to live with, and the available diesel and ZR2 versions add to its appeal for buyers who want a more specialized setup. For used shoppers, the main long-term ownership risk is that age and prior use matter a lot, so condition and maintenance history should carry extra weight.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Chevrolet Colorado?

At 63.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a truck that has been used for towing, off-roading, or heavy daily work. Focus on overall condition, signs of wear in the cabin and bed, and whether the truck’s equipment matches how you plan to use it. If you want a cleaner ownership story, it’s worth narrowing your search to the best-documented examples.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Colorado ranges from a bare-bones extended cab with rear-wheel drive and a 4-cylinder engine to a loaded ZR2 crew cab with 4-wheel drive and the rugged Bison Package. The cabin is simple and practical, but the base setup is stripped down, so you should pay close attention to which convenience and appearance features are included before you buy.
• Powertrain: You can get a 200-horsepower, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder, a 3.6-liter V6 with 308 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque, or an available 2.8-liter turbo-diesel 4-cylinder with 181 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The diesel is the towing standout, while the V6 is the more common upgrade.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes a reversing camera and a Teen Driver monitoring system, and crew cab versions also get a rear-seat reminder. Only the Colorado LT can be optioned with forward-collision warning and lane-departure warning systems, so lower trims miss out on those features.
• Infotainment: The Colorado uses Chevrolet Infotainment 3 with a 7- or 8-inch display, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, voice recognition, and support for OnStar services. Available upgrades include navigation, a Bose premium sound system, and a wireless phone-charging pad.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert test drive notes an EPA rating of 19 mpg for the test vehicle, and the diesel engine is the efficiency and towing-oriented choice in the lineup.

Which 2019 Chevrolet Colorado trim should I buy?

The 2019 Chevrolet Colorado is offered in 3 trim levels: Base, LT, Z71.

Here's the short version:

• Base: This is the simplest way into the Colorado, and it makes sense if you want the truck’s core capability without paying for extras. It’s the least expensive path, but you should expect a stripped-down experience compared with the higher trims.
• LT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks more everyday usability and is also the only trim that can be optioned with forward-collision warning and lane-departure warning. If you want a more balanced Colorado, this is the one to focus on.
• Z71: This trim adds off-road suspension tuning and a more rugged personality, along with features like the Duratrac tires and available 4WD setup described in the expert review. It’s the right pick if you want a more capable and more distinctive truck, especially for mixed on-road and light off-road use.

Safety-wise, the Colorado still lacks a broad set of advanced driver-assistance features, so even the better trims remain relatively limited in that area.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Chevrolet Colorado?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,374 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.12% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 63.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,272, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado's resale value?

The current average of $21,272 sits slightly below last year's $23,408.

That decline suggests the Colorado has become more affordable for used buyers, which can help demand in the near term. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on trim, condition, and documentation rather than on broad market momentum alone. Well-kept trucks with the right equipment should still hold up better than rougher examples, especially if they have desirable capability features.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado safe?

The Chevrolet Colorado earns a Marginal score for front passenger safety in a small overlap frontal-impact crash from IIHS, and it does not come close to earning a Top Safety Pick rating.

It earns a 4/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes a reversing camera, a Teen Driver monitoring system, and a rear-seat reminder on crew cab versions. Only the LT can be optioned with forward-collision warning and lane-departure warning, so lower trims are especially limited if you want more modern driver assistance. The safety picture is further weakened by the truck’s lousy headlights and hard-to-access child seat LATCH anchors.

In federal crash testing, the Colorado earns a four-star overall rating, with three-star rollover resistance and good frontal impact protection.

Should I buy a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 63.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.12% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Since the midsize Chevy Colorado returned for the 2015 model year, every one of its competitors except the Nissan Frontier has been redesigned, yet this year still stands out for its available diesel engine, off-road-tuned ZR2 trim, and simple, sensible approach.

The bottom line: If you want a used midsize truck with strong capability, a straightforward layout, and a lower average price than it had a year ago, the 2019 Colorado is the better path. If you’re shopping mainly on price and want the broadest selection of clean, well-priced listings, you can still find good value here — just be selective about history and trim.
