Exterior

The Colorado offers handy features, including an available EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate, along with many utility-enhancing upgrades available through packages. The Bed Guard Package keeps your truck safe with a rubber bed mat and a tailgate liner. If you’re into off-road adventuring, you might want to go with the Performance Skid Plate Package, or the ZR2 Off-Road Package. The ZR2 Off-Road Package gives your truck a smoother ride and better capabilities thanks to its DSSV Multimatic suspension dampers and taller, wider stance. It even sports an exclusively styled front fascia, bumpers, and fenders. If you’re particularly image-conscious, the Colorado offers a wide range of packages, like the Z71 Midnight Edition, the ZR2 Midnight Special Edition, the Chrome Appearance Package, and the Blackout Appearance Package. You can even choose from a dozen different wheel designs.

Powertrain and performance

The Colorado comes equipped with a 200-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. For a blend of power and efficiency, upgrade to the 2.8-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel four-cylinder engine. In addition to providing 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, it earns 28 mpg when cruising down the highway. Plus, it boasts a 7,700-pound towing capacity. But for even more power, go with the 3.6-liter V6 mill. It churns out 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque.


Safety

Stay safe on the road with the Colorado’s available active safety technology. It can help you avoid fender benders with Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and an HD Rear Vision Camera. In addition to these advanced innovations, it comes standard with a suite of airbags, anti-lock brakes, and seatbelt pretensioners.
