CAPABILITY
Built to deliver unmatched capability for work and play, the Chevy Colorado provides everything needed to get the job done. From powerful towing to terrain-conquering capabilities, the Colorado delivers the tools to tackle any challenge.
Built for the Bold
When the job gets tough and the road gets wild, capability isn’t optional—it’s everything. Powered by a TurboMax® engine, the Chevy Colorado confidently meets every challenge. Its 310 horsepower (HP) and a best-in-class 430 lb-ft of standard torque provide robust performance for any driving need. Early-morning material hauls and weekends immersed in nature are always within reach with the Colorado.
Selectable drive modes make it easy to switch from work to play mode. Each of the maximum five modes adjusts how the Colorado performs, delivering a tailored driving experience:
- Normal: Balances comfort and performance for everyday driving.
- Tow/Haul: Optimizes power and stability when pulling heavy items.
- Baja: Delivers control and traction on select terrain types.
- Off-Road: Enhances performance on low-friction surfaces.
- Terrain: Supports extreme off-road conditions with hill climb and descent assist.
When the commute calls for extra gear, the Colorado’s 7,700-pound maximum towing capacity easily accommodates trailers, boats, and off-road vehicles.
Where the Road Ends, Colorado Begins
When the pavement ends, the true power of the Chevrolet Colorado begins. Its go anywhere and do anything mentality is reflected in many trim levels, one created in collaboration with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV). The result is a competent off-road truck ready for whatever comes its way.
Available Colorado off-road features include:
- Best-in-class 12.2 inches of ground clearance
- Steel skid plates
- 2-inch factory lift
- Advanced dampers
- 33-inch tires
Measuring just 213 inches long, the Colorado moves with agility. Whether carving through forest trails, fording streams, or climbing rugged hillsides, the Colorado is always ready for your next adventure.
UTILITY
The Chevy Colorado features an abundance of smart conveniences designed with real-world utility in mind. Advanced tailgate capabilities and trailering technology are only the start of what the Colorado can do, ensuring every task feels effortless.
The Power of Smart Storage
A great truck isn’t simply strong but is smart about how it works. From tools to toys, every inch of the Chevy Colorado works for you. The optional EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate simplifies cargo loading and unloading. An internal torsion bar helps carry the weight of the tailgate, making it possible to open and close with minimal effort.
For all kinds of tasks, the Colorado equips available cargo bed amenities that make easy work of long to-do lists:
- StowFlex storage solutions
- 120V bed-mounted outlet
- 17 cargo tie-downs
- Tailgate measurement tool
- And more
Not every task ends before sundown. Optional cargo box LED lighting keeps work steadily moving after sunset by illuminating the area with easy-access lighting features.
Convenience Without Compromise
Utility doesn’t stop at the cargo bed. The Chevrolet Colorado delivers comfort that keeps pace with any lifestyle. Inside, it features available heated and ventilated front seats that provide all-day comfort, making long drives and tough workdays equally enjoyable.
Optional package add-ons let every driver fine-tune the Colorado’s features, so the truck feels tailor-made for their needs. Take the LT Convenience Package, for example, which adds:
- LED exterior lighting
- Wireless phone charger
- HD Surround Vision
With over two dozen available packages, it's easy to customize the Colorado to meet your towing, design, and convenience needs.
INNOVATION
The Chevy Colorado is a long-term investment in capability and confidence. Equipped with the features of today and technology designed for the future, it delivers seamless connectivity and endless confidence on every ride. Explore the smart tools of the Colorado to discover ways you can push boundaries, explore further, and do it all with total peace of mind.
Technology That Moves You Forward
Connected driving puts control where it belongs—in your hands. The standard infotainment suite adds essential tools to the Chevrolet Colorado, including an 11.3-inch touchscreen display and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ capabilities. While these features are found with many trucks, Google built-in elevates the Colorado’s capabilities to the next level. This standard system adds:
- Google Assistant: Recognizes natural speech voice commands to create a grocery list, send a text message, or request a song, allowing your focus to remain on the road ahead.
- Google Maps: Assists with reaching a destination, providing real-time traffic updates to help reduce driving time.
- Google Play: Makes popular apps easy to access, simplifying how you stay connected while on the go.
The customizable display capabilities make it easy to put the most essential information front and center, eliminating the need to toggle through menu layers to find the app or setting used most often.
Breaking Boundaries With Total Confidence
True innovation isn't flashy. Instead, it delivers confidence to push boundaries. Chevy Safety Assist adds advanced monitoring technology at various points around the Chevrolet Colorado, delivering 360 degrees of support and visibility. Features included in this standard safety suite are:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
- Following Distance Indicator
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- IntelliBeam® auto high beams
While these features assist on everyday roads, the available underbody camera system shows real-time footage at the front and rear of the truck to make off-roading easy. When equipped, this feature helps identify unexpected terrain changes that may call for a different selectable drive mode.
Chevrolet Colorado vs. The Competition
Chevy and Ford are classic rivals, especially when it comes to the Colorado and the Ranger. These trucks are triple threats with their brute strength, integrated intelligence, and striking physiques. However, the Colorado has easily won this timeless rivalry.*

The Chevy Colorado and the Toyota Tacoma crave adventure almost as much as you do. These contemporary trucks have off-road toolboxes and rugged yet easy-on-the-eyes silhouettes that make them look and act like they've been on the trails for years. However, the Colorado wins this comparison with more strength and greater intelligence.*

A comparison between the Chevy Colorado and the GMC Canyon is not to be missed. They'll fight to the finish until one of these General Motors pickup trucks is crowned the winner. After closely examining their specs and features, they line up evenly in several categories, except for the details that matter most.
