There’s one problem with the Chevrolet Colorado, launched at the 2013 LA Auto Show – there’s not enough competition. Possible rivals like the Toyota Tacoma have been around for almost a decade and the Nissan Frontier is due a bit of an update.
The Colorado has a hydroformed steel frame, so you can see how sturdy it is. There are two gasoline engine options with a diesel engine possibly coming at some point. The chassis is unusual looking, but very modern.
Chevrolet has given the Colorado a unique two-tier loading system which increases the amount of gear the car can accept, even though this rack is an extra. The chrome grille that’s found on other models, the Z7i Colorado model has a gunmetal grille.
Inside there’s an 8-inch touchscreen which features the most up-to-date MyLink software. The 3.4-inch display gives you details like fuel consumption. There are also six airbags in the Colorado, one of which is a head side curtain version.
