Used Colorado: generations and model years
Used Colorados for sale span 2 generations in CarWhere's data, with the 3rd generation (2023–present) on sale new. Knowing which generation a listing belongs to tells you which engines, recalls and known issues apply.
3rd generation (2023–present) · 2023–presentCurrent
Crew Cab-only redesign built around 2.7L turbo fours. A 237-hp version was also offered for 2023–2024; from 2025 the 310-hp TurboMax is standard across the lineup. The AEV-equipped ZR2 Bison package sits atop the ZR2. Prices below are 2026 MSRPs before the $2,095 destination charge.
2nd generation (2015–2022) · 2015–2022
Revived the Colorado name in the U.S. with a three-engine lineup: a 2.5L four, a 3.6L V6 (LFX through 2016, then LGZ with an eight-speed automatic from 2017) and, from 2016, a 2.8L Duramax diesel. The wide-track ZR2 and its ZR2 Bison package arrived later in the run.
Years to avoid, best years and known issues
Before you shortlist a used Colorado, check its model year against CarWhere's reliability research and the known issues for its generation.
What to check before buying a used Colorado
- Run the VIN for title brands (salvage, rebuilt, flood, lemon buyback), odometer history and reported accidents before you go see it.
- Check the VIN for open safety recalls and confirm the dealer will complete any open campaign before delivery.
- Decode the VIN or pull the build sheet to confirm the engine, drivetrain, trim and options match the listing.
- Inspect the frame, bed and hitch for rust, weld repairs and heavy-towing wear; check the receiver and wiring harness.
- If it was used for towing, look for transmission fluid that is dark or smells burnt, and ask whether it had a factory tow package.
- On 4x4 models, engage four-wheel drive (high and low) on the test drive and listen for clunks from the transfer case and axles.
- Get an independent pre-purchase inspection — especially for suspension, brakes, tires and any fluid leaks.
- Ask for service records, and confirm how much factory warranty is left from the original in-service date.
- Negotiate the vehicle price first, then fees; refuse dealer add-ons you did not ask for.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I pay for a Colorado?
On a new Colorado, verified CarWhere buyers paid a median 8.4% below MSRP — about $4,000 — across 13 deals (Feb 2026–Apr 2026). The middle half paid between 4% and 9.3% off. Use that as your benchmark: a discount off MSRP measured before rebates, with no dealer add-ons. A used Colorado's price depends on year, mileage and condition, so compare several listings near you before you make an offer.
When is the best time to buy a Colorado?
CarWhere's best-time research finds that new-car discounts have historically been largest from October through December, and January is strongest for used cars. But the seasonal edge is small: average discounts in CarWhere's verified deals move by only a point or two between periods. That's narrower than the spread between Colorado buyers themselves: the middle half paid between 4% and 9.3% off MSRP. Negotiation matters more than the calendar.
Should I buy a new or used Colorado?
New gets you the current 3rd generation Colorado (2023–present) with a full factory warranty, from $32,400 MSRP. Verified buyers paid a median 8.4% off. Used, the main alternative is the 2nd generation (2015–2022). Before you buy a used one, check the years to avoid and known issues by generation, and run the VIN for title and accident history.
