Every Colorado model year from 2004 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Pickup Truck of the same year.
Across 21 scored model years the Colorado sits close to its class average on both counts. The spread between years is what matters: 2013 is its strongest, 2015 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Pickup Truck sold that same model year.

The line has moved around across 21 model years, with its weakest stretch in 2013–2020. This 2025 car falls in a middling stretch.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every Colorado model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Pickup Truck of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2023–2025), the trouble concentrates in one place: braking system. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Pickup Truck of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
