Carsguide https://www.carsguide.com.au/authors/peter-barnwell Peter Barnwell had this to say at the time: In Colorado7 you'll have to be prepared to put up with the cheap, hard grey plastic interior, unrefined engine, large turning circle and roly-poly on-road handling. Just a bit of tweaking would have yielded something special.

Why won't the reversing alert work in my 2015 Holden Colorado 7?
Okay, first question: Did the sensor damage happen before or after the failure of the alert? If it’s the former, it’s a fair bet the crunch has broken the sensor in question and led to the whole inter-linked system failing.
If the problem happened before the bump (and caused the knock because it didn’t warn you of the looming barrier) then you need to investigate further. An auto electrician should be able to test the system and its circuits and tell you what the cause of the problem is. It could be anything from the wiring to a blown fuse to the sensors themselves having failed. Living on the very edge of the vehicle, these sensors have a pretty hard life with every tap and bump to the bumper potentially damaging them or their circuitry.

Overheating while towing in a 2013 Holden Colorade 7
It will be an ongoing issue when towing. Drive to the conditions, don’t try and tow up hills in overdrive gears when the engine will work harder, and if you’re worried have a heavy-duty transmission oil cooler fitted.

Thanks John. While nobody likes visiting a dealer for warranty repairs, it looks like Holden is looking after you. No doubt this will instil confidence for anyone else with a similar issue.

Seven-seat 4WD for towing?
I rate the Colorado ahead of the Isuzu but, if you can make do with something that will tow 2500kg rather than 3000kg, also look at a Hyundai Santa Fe as I give it The Tick.
