If you are looking for a midsize truck that has the ability to adapt and excel to most any task, the 2020 Chevrolet Colorado is a truck worth considering.
The Colorado offers a smooth ride around the town, but also features two trims for plenty of off-road ability. The Z71 and ZR2 models are more than capable for tackling trails and terrain with standard features such as 308-horsepower V6, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive; along with heavy-duty suspension and locking rear differential. The ZR2 is even more capable with driver-selectable full-locking front and rear differential. These two off-road trim base prices start at $33,900 for the Z71 Crew Cab and short bed; and for the top trim ZR2 Extended Cab models, it starts at $41,400.
Don’t pass up the other available trims. The Base trim is offered in an Extended Cab/long bed and starts at an affordable $21,300. It comes with a fuel efficient 200-horsepower four-cylinder engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, and 16-inch steel wheels. This trim is great for everyday driving and has plenty of power for most needs.
Chevrolet Colorado WT comes with the same standard features as the Base trim, but is available with an optional 308-horsepower V6 engine or a 2.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine. Some options available for this model include remote keyless entry, cruise control, and EZ Lift tailgate. Both cab styles are offered with the WT and pricing starts as $24,800 for the Extended Cab/long bed, $26,700 for the Crew Cab and short bed, and $29,000 for the Crew Cab and long bed.
The LT provides most of the same trims as the Base and LT, but has some added luxuries including 17-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, an 8-in touchscreen, satellite radio, and additional USB ports. Its options include heated front seats, automatic climate control and an available upgraded audio and navigation system. This higher end model still has an affordable price tag, starting at $27,700 for the Extended Cab/long bed, $29,700 for the Crew Cab and short bed, and $31,900 for the Crew Cab/long bed.
Safety
The Chevy Colorado’s available OnStar System provides emergency crash notification, stolen-vehicle notification, and remote locking and unlocking. This safety package comes standard on the LT and above. Also available on the LT and Z71 models includes forward collision and lane departure warning systems. A rearview camera and the Teen Driver Mode comes standard on all models, and lets you have custom key settings for secondary drivers and provides in-vehicle reports.
Overview
Chevy’s Colorado is simple, sturdy and easy to use. If you don’t need the capacity of a full-size or heavy-duty truck, this option is a great one.
