With 264 currently listed for sale near Chicago, IL and an average price of $24,454.00, 17.8% of 2021 Chevrolet Colorados for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado 4.58 / 5 stars.

Why it stands out
The 2021 Chevrolet Colorado stands out as a midsize pickup that blends capability with a more upscale feel than earlier versions of the truck. By this point in its generation, Chevrolet had already given the Colorado a much-improved interior and a broader set of active safety features, which helped address two areas that had drawn criticism before. It also remained a strong value proposition for buyers who wanted a truck with real utility without moving up to a full-size model.
For 2021, the Colorado’s appeal was rooted in its powertrain choices and trim spread. The lineup included the Work Truck, LT, Z71, and ZR2, giving shoppers a wide range from basic utility to serious off-road hardware. The available diesel was especially notable, with 181 horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque, up to 7,700 pounds of towing capacity, and up to 31 mpg on the highway. At the same time, the truck’s weaknesses were still worth noting: the second-generation Colorado had a reputation for transmission problems, and the cabin, while improved, still did not fully escape criticism for cheaper materials and limited rear-seat room.
Buyers looking at the 2021 Colorado were often drawn to its balance of comfort, utility, and capability. The Z71 and ZR2 in particular earned praise for their performance and features, and the truck’s ride quality and fuel economy were also commonly appreciated. Even so, some owners pointed to a harsh ride, cabin noise, and back-seat comfort as drawbacks, so the Colorado’s strengths were clearest for shoppers who valued versatility and trim-level choice over outright refinement.

The Zr2 is a beast. The engine in off road mode has a lot of power and the front and rear lockers make it very off road capable . I’ve been very happy with it.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado reliable?
Owners rate it 4.58/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Reviewers describe it as dependable for everyday use, and the feedback around value and performance suggests many owners feel confident keeping it over time. The positive comments about ride quality and gas mileage also support the idea that it can be a trouble-free companion when maintained well. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure you avoid a truck with unresolved mechanical or condition issues before you commit.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Colorado?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with a history report to confirm accident status and look for any signs of prior damage or repeated repairs. Then prioritize a thorough inspection of the transmission, ride quality, and cabin condition, since those are the areas that matter most for this model year. Pay close attention to overall wear, especially if you are considering a truck that has been used for work or off-road driving.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chevrolet Colorado?
This is a moderate buyer's market, so you can be selective without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 27.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 3,132 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.74% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 76.2% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $25,174.25, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado's resale value?
The current average of $25,580 sits slightly below last year's $27,138.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more carefully now but may also mean future resale gains are more limited in the near term. If you plan to sell later, the current softness means condition and trim choice will matter even more when it comes time to attract buyers. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.58/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Chevrolet Colorado or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 27.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.74% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.58/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line:
The 2021 is the better path if you want a midsize pickup with strong owner approval, a softer price than a year ago, and enough inventory to shop carefully. If you are especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2021 gives you a balanced mix of value, satisfaction, and market availability that makes it a sensible target.
