In the last twenty years, American trucks have come a long way in being so much more than just heavy-duty haulers. However, some of these trucks may have lost their way, catering more to the suburban soccer parent than the people who need to get a job done. The 2021 Chevy Colorado, in contrast, has improved its livability while remaining a tough and reliable workhorse.
A Powerful Selection of Engines
It all starts with the power. No matter how many bells and whistles you attach to your truck, if it can’t keep up, there isn’t much point to it at all. The Colorado comes with a selection of three drivetrains for you to choose from. The base engine is a four-cylinder automatic, while you can also upgrade to a peppy V6 or a strong, reliable diesel. Regardless of which you go with, you are going to get the power and reliability that Chevy is known for.
Fun to Drive
Not all trucks are fun to drive, feeling more like a boat on wheels than anything else. The Colorado bucks this trend by having surprisingly nimble steering and intuitive braking. If you are looking for a truck that can do more than haul, then this could be the right choice of truck for you.
A Smart Tow-er
For a lot of truck drivers, one of the biggest draws of a truck is its ability to tow a trailer or boat. The Colorado may not be the biggest truck, but with the Trailering Equipment package, it can move almost anything you’ll want to. If you go with the diesel engine, you can expect to tow up to 7700 pounds. So hook up your boat, trailer, or whatever you need, and your Chevy will get you where you need to go.
An Interior You Can Use
The Colorado does not have the prettiest interior in its class, but it more than makes up for it by keeping the interior in-sync with what its drivers need. Inside the Colorado, you will find a touchscreen and smartphone-syncing technology to help you get the most out of your truck’s tech.
The Colorado also has a decent rear seat that makes it easier to bring along the whole family. Plus, the truck has a good number of smart cubby areas so that you can keep your tools and gadgets packed away neatly. The hard plastic you get on a lot of the interior may not be the prettiest, but it’s certainly easily-cleanable, which is a bonus for anyone with children or dirty gear.
The Chevy Colorado is a fierce-looking truck that has the handling, power, and towing capabilities to more than back up its looks. If you are looking for a great all-around truck that is just as much fun in the corners as it is towing your boat, then it’s hard to do better than the Colorado.
