According to U.S. News, the 2021 Colorado has the optimal combination of performance, weight, and price when you choose the rear-wheel-drive WT trim and the 3.6-liter DOHC V6 engine. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this engine delivers 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. It also gives the truck a maximum towing capacity of 7,000 pounds.
Inside the cabin, the model has seating for up to four passengers and technologies like the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System. This system has a 7-inch touch screen as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities. With all these features, the truck costs $27,880.

The truck comes with the 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V6, which mates with a six-speed automatic transmission to produce 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. Just like the Colorado, the Silverado 1500 features the 7-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System, though this model only has three seats in its cabin.
