Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The Colorado's exterior earns it more praise than any other attribute, though a few reviewers think the design is starting to date. The Colorado is available as a regular cab model, an extended cab, or as a crew cab. An adjustable tailgate is a popular feature with many reviewers.

  • ""While the Colorado creeps up in size, I must admit that I like its looks." -- Detroit News
  • "If you like the rugged, bold look of the full-size Silverado, but want it in a smaller package, check out the Colorado." -- Kelley Blue Book
  • "When the Colorado debuted in 2004, it carried over the front-end styling from that generation's Chevy Silverado (GMT800), including the familiar power bar grille and angular "bat wing" headlamps. It looked great on the Colorado then. Now, the Silverado has been restyled and the Colorado is looking a little long in the tooth." -- Cars.com
  • "The tailgate can be set at a 55 degree angle, putting the tailgate edge at the same height as the top of the rear wheel wells. So it's possible to carry standard 4x8 sheets, just not as many of them in one trip." -- PickupTrucks.com
