Sporting a bold, new look, a further refined powertrain, and an updated cabin, Chevrolet’s Colorado blows its competition out of the water! Of course, the venerable mid-sized pickup can still be counted on to deliver best-in-class workhorse capability with its rugged construction. Check out the new and improved 2023 Chevrolet Colorado!
Basics About the All-New 2023 Colorado
Engine and Performance
While all Colorados are powered by a new 2.7L turbocharged inline-4 engine, there are several tunings available to suit a range of needs. WT and LT models come standard with 237 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, providing an excellent balance between performance and efficiency. The 310-horsepower 2.7L of the Z71 and Trail Boss produces plenty of grunt for off-roading excursions with its 391 lb-ft of torque.
For the most demanding jobs, you’ll want to opt for the ZR2’s motor, which delivers even more torque at 430 lb-ft. The Colorado’s independent front suspension and solid rear axle continues to serve the truck well when navigating over uneven surfaces and through tight turns. An available automatic locking rear differential and performance skid plates make the truck an off-roading monster when combined with its dependable all-wheel drive system.
Towing and Hauling
With its maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds and the ability to carry up to 1,500 pounds within its five-foot-long bed, the Colorado is the most capable pickup in its class. Its Trailering Package adds a 2-inch receiver hitch and 4- and 7-pin connectors with an electric harness for connecting a variety of equipment and lights. The available StowFlex tailgate provides a drainable and lockable compartment for use as a cooler or tool storage.
Interior
One of the most noticeable changes in the Colorado lineup is its redesigned passenger cabin, which features a sleek dashboard and center console with more easily accessible controls. In a segment-first, the instrument panel boasts a fully digital display that makes it easier than ever to view important vehicle information. As every Colorado comes in the crew cab body style, there’s ample room for five passengers.
The cabin’s seating can be upholstered in a selection of high-quality material, including plush, yet durable Evotex and genuine leather.
Infotainment
The Colorado also leads the class when it comes to the standard size of its infotainment display. At 11.3 inches, the multi-touch LED screen is a cinch to navigate through its many features and apps. In addition to wireless smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the system offers Bluetooth streaming audio and Google Built-In. Premium sound comes from the available 7-speaker Bose system.
There’s no need to look any further than the Colorado if you’re looking for the best combination of power, comfort, and technology in a mid-sized truck. Get in touch with Jim McKay Chevrolet today and schedule a test drive!
