Yes. The Colorado fits the mid-size truck niche with a crew or extended cab that clears most urban parkades while still offering up to 7,700 lb of towing with the V6 3.6L. Its 5-foot or 6.2-foot bed handles real cargo without the bulk of a Silverado. In Trail Boss or ZR2 trim, it handles Quebec forest roads confidently thanks to the Autotrac four-wheel-drive system and raised clearance.
The Duramax 2.8L turbodiesel — offered on 2016 to 2022 Colorados — produces 186 hp and 369 lb-ft, averages about 9.5 L/100 km on the highway, and pulls up to 7,700 lb. For buyers without heavy towing needs, the 2.5L four-cylinder is adequate for daily driving around 10 L/100 km combined. The V6 3.6L is the most powerful but hurts city fuel economy — best reserved for those who tow regularly.
The Colorado ZR2 is purpose-built for serious off-road use: Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic AutoLocking differentials, 11.2 inches of ground clearance, and shortened rocker panels. The GMC Canyon AT4 shares the same platform but lacks the DSSV dampers and factory rear e-diff. For trails and backcountry use in Quebec, the ZR2 earns its premium. For winter urban driving with occasional gravel excursions, the AT4 is enough and runs $5,000 to $8,000 less on the used market.
The 2023 redesign brought a new 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder making 310 hp and 430 lb-ft, integrated Google infotainment, and a stiffer structure. Compared to the 2022 model, it is a category jump — the new four-cylinder exceeds the old V6's power while burning less fuel. On the Quebec used market, a 2023 Colorado LT or Z71 under 40,000 km trades around $42,000 to $47,000. The $8,000 to $12,000 premium over a 2022 is justified if you plan to keep the truck more than five years.
Check the front differential skid plate on 4x4 versions used off-road — rock strikes are common. The Duramax diesel requires inspection of the serpentine belt and high-pressure fuel filter. On automatics with the 8L45, confirm a fluid service was done at 60,000 km. Inspect the underside of the bed for rust on 2015 to 2022 models, particularly the rear cross-members exposed to winter road salt in Quebec.
