The Chevrolet Colorado is a popular choice on our forum. Recent offerings include this 2017 w/ Vagabond Drifter, 2018 ZR2 w/ Go Fast Campers V2, and 2019 w/ Alu-Cab Canopy camper. It’s a pinnacle choice for overlanding and was subsequently awarded Editor’s Choice in our Mid-Size Truck of the Year, with Publisher Scott Brady stating, “Just a list of its features makes it the ‘HiLux’ we always wanted, only better. It is available with a small-displacement turbo-diesel, front and rear locking differentials, a winch-ready steel front bumper, steel rear bumper with 1/4 panel protection, full-length rock sliders, class-leading suspension, and scores second on J.D. Power’s reliability ranking.” It was for these reasons and more that it was chosen as an Overland Journal project vehicle by contributor Sinuhe Xavier and was later used as a chase truck for the Mexican 1000. Unsurprisingly, there’s no shortage of inspiring adventure-equipped Colorados online with epic builds from CBI Offroad Fab, Nick Page, and Five Angels Outdoor. Cue today’s 2021 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison (63,000 miles) showcasing premium aftermarket upgrades and topped with an RSI Smart Cap.

From the Seller:
“This has been a fantastic truck—reliable, comfortable, and very capable. It’s been all over the Desert Southwest, from Big Bend to Northern New Mexico and Arizona. All services were completed per Chevy’s schedule, including the 50,000 drivetrain service. The rig is in immaculate condition, never wrecked, well-maintained, and is 100 percent ready to take you anywhere.”
