Brian Sweeney, the US vice president of Chevy, commented, “The Colorado was designed to meet the demands of the modern midsized truck buyer, and now we’re fulfilling the demand they’ve placed on us. Chevrolet and everyone at the Wentzville plant has worked hard to get the truck out on time to fulfill as soon as possible the orders our dealers have placed.”

Both the Canyon and the Colorado benefit from available 3.6-liter V6s that yield up to 26 mpg on the highway in two-wheel drive, putting them at up to five mpg better than any other truck in their class. The mid-size trucks also feature available OnStar with 4G LTE and 72 percent high-strength steel.
