If you're searching for a capable, work-ready truck that can handle Michigan winters without breaking the bank, this 2019 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab LT for sale at Best of Michigan Auto Sales in Detroit, MI deserves a serious look. With a proven V6 engine, full-time 4WD capability, and a crew cab layout that seats the whole crew in comfort, this Colorado punches well above its weight class in both utility and everyday drivability.
About This 2019 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab LT
At 136,999 miles, this Colorado sits squarely in the range where it still has plenty of life left — especially given the reputation this generation has built for durability. The 2019 model year represents a well-sorted, mid-cycle iteration of GM's mid-size truck platform, meaning most early production quirks had long been ironed out. The Crew Cab body style adds rear-seat legroom that full-size truck buyers have come to expect, making this a practical daily driver for families and tradespeople alike. The 5-foot bed strikes a solid balance between cargo capacity and urban maneuverability — a combination that makes real sense for driving in and around Detroit and Wayne County.2019 Chevrolet Colorado Performance and Engine
3.6L V6 VVT Engine and 8-Speed Automatic
Under the hood, this Colorado packs Chevrolet's 3.6-liter V6 with Variable Valve Timing — the same family of engines found across the GM lineup and well-regarded for its responsiveness and longevity. This engine produces around 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque in standard Colorado configuration, giving it a tow rating of up to 7,000 pounds when properly equipped. Paired with the smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission, highway cruising is relaxed and fuel economy is genuinely competitive for a truck in this class.
The 4WD drivetrain is the feature that makes this truck especially relevant for buyers in southeastern Michigan. Whether you're navigating slushy Detroit surface streets in January or heading Up North for the weekend, the ability to engage four-wheel drive changes the entire ownership experience. This isn't a decorative badge — it's real mechanical capability that earns its keep every Michigan winter.Chevrolet Colorado Features and Interior
LT Trim Comfort and Technology
The LT trim sits at a comfortable mid-tier level in the Colorado lineup, offering meaningful upgrades over the base WT without climbing into the premium pricing of the Z71 or High Country. Expect features like the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system with a color touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, power windows and locks, and air conditioning as standard equipment. The Crew Cab configuration provides four full-size doors and a genuine rear seat — not the folded-down afterthought you get in extended cabs — making it a legitimate five-passenger vehicle when needed.
The interior materials at the LT level are honest and durable. GM didn't try to dress it up with materials that would look tired in two years — what you get is a functional, well-laid-out cabin that holds up well to daily use, work site duty, and weekend adventure.Chevrolet Colorado Reliability and Ownership
The 2019 Colorado has a solid reliability track record. Consumer Reports and long-term owner reviews consistently note the 3.6L V6 as the sweet spot in the Colorado engine lineup — it avoids the complexity of the diesel and the limitations of the four-cylinder, delivering a well-rounded ownership experience. Common items to watch at this mileage include routine maintenance like spark plugs, transmission fluid, and differential service — all expected at this interval and not signs of underlying problems.
Colorado owners frequently highlight the truck's surprisingly carlike ride quality compared to full-size competitors, which is a meaningful benefit in a city like Detroit where road surfaces can be punishing. The 4WD system is mechanically straightforward, and the 8-speed automatic has proven to be a durable unit across GM's truck lineup. Overall, this is a truck that rewards proper maintenance and continues performing well into high mileage territory.Why Buy From Best of Michigan Auto Sales in Detroit, MI

Is the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado a good buy?
Yes — the 2019 Colorado is widely considered one of the stronger model years in this generation. The 3.6L V6 is refined and capable, the 8-speed automatic is smooth, and the overall platform had been well-developed by this point in its production run. For buyers who want mid-size truck capability without full-size truck pricing or fuel costs, it's a smart choice.
How many miles is too many on a used Chevrolet Colorado?
The 3.6L V6 Colorado is generally capable of reaching 200,000 miles or more with proper maintenance. At 136,999 miles, this truck is in its mid-life — past the early wear-in period but with substantial useful life remaining. The key factors are maintenance history and how the truck was driven, not mileage alone.
What does the Colorado LT trim include?
The LT trim adds a meaningful package over the base WT, including the MyLink infotainment touchscreen, Bluetooth, rearview camera, upgraded interior trim, power accessories, and additional comfort and convenience features. It represents the most popular trim choice for everyday buyers who want real features without the premium cost of the Z71 or High Country.
Is the 4WD Colorado good for Michigan winters?
Absolutely. The 4WD system on the Colorado is designed for real-world conditions — exactly the kind of stop-and-go ice, snow-packed back roads, and slushy city streets that are common across southeastern Michigan from November through March. Combined with the truck's ground clearance and weight, it's a genuinely confidence-inspiring winter vehicle.
What should I check when buying a high-mileage Colorado?
At this mileage, focus on the transmission fluid condition, differential and transfer case service history, condition of the front and rear brakes, and any signs of rust on the frame — particularly relevant in Michigan where road salt is heavily used. A pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic is always a worthwhile investment.Serving Detroit and Surrounding Areas in Wayne County
