Is a Chevy Colorado a reliable vehicle?

You bet, according to Consumer Reports. And even better, it's a good deal for the price.

That's what the consumer-testing magazine finds in its most recent reliability report, released Monday. It ranks the new light-duty trucks, vans and cars according to Consumer Reports, based on surveys of their owners and a look at how they've held up.

Consumer Reports says it does such a thorough and unbiased job that it doesn't put any model numbers on the list. But based on the information provided by all of the respondents, CR says the Chevrolet Colorado is the best overall pick, followed by the GMC Canyon, both for 2025, and the Chevrolet Traverse is the third-best vehicle, according to the 2025 rankings.

Of course, consumers aren't necessarily buying these vehicles for their reliability. Consumers are buying them because they look and feel good and they get better mileage, according to a statement from General Motors Co.

People like to own the best vehicles possible, and we design our pickup trucks and SUVs with that in mind, said Mike O'Brien, general manager of the Chevrolet pickup division. This new Colorado will be engineered to give drivers the ability to get more done and have more fun than anything in its class.

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Traverse are designed to combine superior value with superior capability. For the first time, consumers can choose a pickup and a SUV with the capability of full-size pickups but at a price you'll really appreciate. GMC

We also think that this is a solid pick for a mid-size truck. It makes sense, because it's pretty inexpensive and it is reliable and has low maintenance costs.

If you're looking for a truck that gets great gas mileage and a fair amount of cargo space for a good price, the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado is the best bet, writes CR Editor Chris Woodyard. It gets an excellent gas mileage rating of 17 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway and 18 mpg combined significantly higher than the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500. That's even more impressive considering that it's larger than the Ford and about the same size as the Ram.

How long do Colorado engines last?

This is a common question we get from potential Colorado users. How long does it take for the engine to fully break in? It depends on the condition of the bike, the terrain you ride, the riding season (summer or winter), the maintenance you performed on the bike, how often you ride and how you tune the engine. Generally, if you are happy with the performance of the engine, then it's OK to ride for at least a few months after it starts. If you notice a big difference in power, you can keep tuning the bike, change carbs, remove the airbox, tweak the air filter or install some sort of fuel injection.

If you don't like the performance of the engine, you can keep riding it for about a year and a half and still have a decent amount of torque. In general, we recommend that you ride for about a year before you consider replacing an engine. What happens if you hit a pothole with your motorcycle? If your motorcycle uses an aluminum frame, the front fender is designed to deflect the force of impact away from the engine and the rider. On motorcycles with steel frames, the steel frame holds up the engine better, but will still dent if you hit a pothole. If you hit a bump, you'll feel a sharp sensation at the point of impact, especially if the tires are not inflated properly.

How can I change my oil more often? An engine uses only about 10 percent of the oil when it is warm. If you change the oil once a month, you may not have enough oil left for optimal engine performance. If you ride through the coldest part of the year, you may want to change the oil more often. For example, if you ride the bike through January and February, you can leave the bike off for a few months, switch out the oil, and ride again in May.

My motorcycle has a big fuel tank. Can I change my oil more often? That's a good question. Fuel tanks are usually made of aluminum or plastic.
