Why it stands out
The 2021 Chevrolet Colorado sits in the second generation of Chevy’s midsize pickup, and it stands out for offering a strong mix of capability and everyday usefulness. By this point in its run, the Colorado had a broad range of trims and powertrains, including a 3.6-liter V6 with 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, plus a 2.8-liter Duramax diesel with 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. That diesel gave the truck a class-leading 7,700-pound towing capacity and up to 31 mpg on the highway, which helped make the Colorado appealing to buyers who wanted real truck ability without moving up to a full-size pickup.
The 2021 model also benefited from a more usable and better-equipped cabin than the Colorado had in its earlier years. The W.T. trim became the entry-level version for 2020, and the truck could be had with a 7-inch color touchscreen, an 8-inch touchscreen on the L.T., Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the larger screen, and available safety features such as lane-departure warning and forward-collision warning. Higher trims added more off-road hardware and equipment, with the Z71 bringing an off-road suspension package and the ZR2 adding serious trail-focused gear. That said, the Colorado’s second generation was not without drawbacks, and transmission problems were a recurring concern on models built from 2014 to 2019, with some later trucks still drawing complaints about rough shifting.

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.

Drives smooth, acceleration is a little laggy and the turn radius isn’t the best. Phone doesn’t fit wireless charger anything above an iPhone 8 will not fit in the charging pad.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado a good car?
Yes — the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado earns a 4.6/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Drivers commonly praise its value, performance, and features, and many also like the ride quality and decent gas mileage. It can make sense if you want a midsize pickup that balances capability with everyday usefulness, especially if you’re looking at better-equipped versions. 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there’s meaningful market opportunity if you shop carefully.
Is the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado reliable?
Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Drivers describe it as dependable in everyday use, with praise centered on its value and performance, and some owners also note trouble-free ownership in the better-equipped trims. At the same time, you should keep an eye on transmission behavior and overall condition, since long-term ownership risk is higher when a used truck has a history of rough shifting or deferred maintenance.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Colorado?
At 74.5% 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 prior damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on transmission operation, suspension condition, and signs of wear that could affect daily drivability. It also helps to prioritize cabin condition and road-test comfort, since some owners mention noise and back-seat comfort concerns.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chevrolet Colorado?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can be choosy if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 3,108 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.62% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 74.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $24,876, 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 $24,876 sits slightly below last year's $26,358.
That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable point, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, condition and trim choice will matter a lot, especially because buyers tend to pay more attention to well-kept trucks with strong equipment and a clean history. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, 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:
- 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 74.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.62% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2021 is a sensible choice if you want a midsize truck with strong owner approval and a market that still offers some deal potential. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you may also want to compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-maintained example rather than chasing the lowest sticker price alone.
