📖Chevrolet Colorado II facelift Crew Cab Long Box: the refined heavy hauler

Chevrolet Colorado II (facelift 2021) Crew Cab Long Box (2021-2022)

The 2021 facelift introduced an aggressive front fascia, revised trim styling, and subtle cabin updates to the second-generation Colorado during its final production years. In Crew Cab Long Box form, this revision retained its core identity as a consummate tow vehicle, capable of carrying five adults alongside substantial cargo. Consistent Chevrolet Colorado maintenance is critical to ensure that this sophisticated working pickup retains its mechanical stamina over an extended working life.

Power is supplied by either the 3.6-litre petrol V6 or the proven 2.8-litre Duramax turbodiesel, mated to an updated electronic automatic transmission. By this production run, GM had largely rectified the earlier transmission fluid shudder issues, yet heavy trailer towing still demands regular fluid replacements and close monitoring of gearbox oil temperatures. The Duramax diesel requires diligent upkeep of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, NOx sensors, and DEF quality.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • The facelifted Crew Cab Long Box offers the ideal combination of modern exterior styling, spacious five-seat cabin, and full-length cargo utility.
  • The 2.8 Duramax diesel excels under continuous towing, while the 3.6 V6 provides quiet, relaxed motorway performance.
  • When preserved with clean transmission fluid, healthy rear suspension, and sound towing gear, it represents a highly competent modern truck.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • 2.8 Duramax LWN: inspect NOx sensors, DEF dosing injector, and confirm regular soot burn-off during highway driving.
  • 3.6 V6 LGZ: monitor oil consumption, cooling fan module operation, and inspect transmission fluid colour after heavy towing cycles.
  • Four-wheel-drive transfer case: test electric actuator switching between 2WD, Auto, 4WD High, and 4WD Low under light load.
  • Chassis and rear bed: inspect rear leaf spring leaves, bump stops, and bed mounting bolts for signs of chronic overloading.
  • Towing electrics: check the factory trailer brake controller, rear reverse camera wiring, and trailer wiring socket for corrosion.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • The 2.8 Duramax AdBlue heating element, NOx sensors, and DPF system must be diagnosed and repaired promptly if emission alerts appear.
  • The automatic transmission fluid and transfer case lubricant must be replaced at strict intervals, especially under severe-duty towing regimes.
  • The towbar mounting points, trailer wiring loom, and rear leaf spring bushings must be inspected and serviced promptly after heavy haulage cycles.
