Car Displayed: 2011 Chevrolet Colorado LT 3.7L 5 Cyl. Crew Cab Pickup

The 2011 Chevrolet Colorado LT is a relatively easy truck to maintain. Some of the headlights are easily accessible by simply reaching behind their respective housings, allowing for reliable bulb changes. Checking the transmission fluid level won’t be a problem as the dipstick has very open access. The engine coolant is also easy to monitor as the reservoir has an unobstructed reach.

However, the 2011 Chevrolet Colorado LT has a few downsides. Some of the headlights on the passenger side of the vehicle will require the air filter housing to be removed before you can access them. This won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. Accessing the tail lights might also prove problematic as you’ll need to remove the entire bulb housing first. The battery has a cramped and convoluted set-up that will make it difficult to remove.
