CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Chevrolet Colorado

Summary
With 160 currently listed for sale and an average price of $28,120, 53.1% of 2021 Chevrolet Colorado listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado 4.58 / 5 stars.
94.4% of 2021 Chevrolet Colorado listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Chevrolet Colorado stands out as a midsize pickup that offers a strong mix of capability and value. By this point in the second generation, Chevrolet had given it a broad range of trims and powertrains, and the truck’s strengths were concentrated in the mid-range and higher trims rather than the base models. It was also available with useful cab and bed combinations, including an extended cab with a long box and a crew cab with either a long or short bed, which helped make it flexible for both work and everyday use.
What makes the 2021 model especially appealing is the way it balances performance, towing, and equipment. The available 3.6-liter V6 delivered 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, while the optional 2.8-liter Duramax diesel brought 181 horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque, and up to 7,700 pounds of towing capacity. The Colorado also offered a good spread of features, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the larger touchscreen, and higher trims could be equipped with off-road hardware and more advanced safety features. Reviewers also tended to praise its value, performance, ride quality, and decent gas mileage, especially in the Z71 and ZR2 models.
There are some drawbacks to keep in mind. The 2021 Colorado still reflects the second generation’s weaker points, including transmission issues that affected many models from 2014 to 2019 and lingering complaints about rough shifting. Some owners also reported cabin noise, a harsh ride, and limited back-seat comfort. Even so, for buyers who want a midsize truck with real utility, strong available engines, and a wide range of trims, the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado remains a compelling choice.

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.

The review summary points to a truck that many owners find dependable in daily use, with praise centered on value, performance, and a good ride. It also suggests the Colorado can be a trouble-free choice for buyers who prioritize utility and long-term ownership confidence, especially when you focus on well-kept examples. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure you avoid trucks with unresolved wear or prior issues that could affect ownership costs later.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Colorado?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with a history report so you can confirm accident status, title history, and any signs of repeated damage. Then prioritize a thorough inspection of the transmission behavior, ride quality, and cabin condition, since those are the areas that matter most for this model year. It also makes sense to focus on overall condition and maintenance records, especially if you are comparing trucks with similar prices.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chevrolet Colorado?
This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 3,104 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.94% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 75.2% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $25,065, 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 $25,151 sits slightly below last year's $27,026.
That softer pricing can help you buy more affordably now, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited unless you choose a well-equipped, well-kept truck. If you plan to sell later, condition and trim choice will matter a lot, because stronger examples tend to hold buyer interest better than base or heavily worn trucks. The current market also suggests that a clean, fairly priced Colorado should remain easier to move than one with visible wear or questionable history.
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:
- 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.94% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.58/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2021 is the better pick if you want a balanced mix of value, owner satisfaction, and a healthy used-car market with enough inventory to shop carefully. If your top priority is stretching your budget as far as possible, a nearby year with a lower asking price may be worth comparing, but the 2021 remains the stronger all-around choice when you want a well-liked midsize truck with broad appeal.
