USCar Trader import service
Choose a specific vehicle. Where data is available, its detail page shows the import cost calculation. We assess any possible duty benefit with you before purchase.
Important: A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
CarHub · Chevrolet
The Colorado is Chevrolet's mid-size pickup, a right-sized alternative to the full-size Silverado that pairs real truck ability with a footprint that works better on European roads.

Model profile
The Colorado name arrived in 2004, replacing the S-10, and the first generation ran through 2012 in North America. Chevrolet then paused the model in the US before relaunching a modern, global-derived second generation for the 2015 model year, which ran to 2022 and included the rugged ZR2 from 2017.
Powertrain and equipment
Second-generation Colorados offered a 2.5-litre four for base trucks, the popular 3.6-litre LGZ V6 (around 308 hp) mated to an eight-speed automatic, and the 2.8-litre Duramax turbodiesel four (around 181 hp, strong torque) that made the Colorado a capable, economical tow vehicle.
The Colorado comes as an Extended Cab or, more commonly, a Crew Cab, with short or long beds. Trims include WT, LT, the street-styled RST, off-road Z71 and Trail Boss, and the hardcore ZR2.
Vehicle selection
The Colorado is readily available used, with lease and fleet trucks appearing at three to six years old across a range of mileages.
The Colorado suits a buyer who wants American pickup character in a size that fits European life, whether for towing a trailer, weekend off-roading or a business that needs a compact bed.

Pre-purchase review
The Colorado is generally solid. The 3.6-litre V6 is strong but shares the wider GM concern over timing-chain wear if oil changes were skipped, and some owners report an intermittent shudder from the eight-speed automatic on 2015–2018 trucks, usually cured by the revised fluid and calibration.
Germany and Europe
US Colorados use amber or red rear indicators, often lack a rear fog lamp, and read in miles per hour. Some assistance and infotainment features are configured for the US market.
Typical work includes fitting a rear fog lamp, adapting rear lighting where amber indicators are needed, confirming the speedometer, and documenting emissions data.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
The 3.6 V6 for petrol performance, the 2.8 Duramax diesel for torque and economy, or the 2.7 turbo on newer trucks.
Yes, if you want serious off-road ability; it was never sold new in Germany, which adds appeal, but check for hard use.
Some 2015–2018 eight-speeds shuddered until a fluid and software fix. Ask for evidence of the update.
Container for a clean, valuable truck, or RoRo for economy.
Yes, after standard lighting and documentation work done before the appointment.
Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
