2015 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Snowpocalypse drive review - Autoweek
General Motors addressed this glaring omission by introducing the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon for the 2015 model year late last fall, trucks that have an actual chance of fitting into suburban garages. The Chevrolet Colorado and its Professional Grade twin are derived from GM's new midsize Global Truck platform, first introduced in Thailand and other countries where these machines are considered large. The Chevrolet Colorado does not offer a V8. power comes from a 2. 5-liter four-cylinder good for 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque, or a 3. 6-liter V6 good for 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are aimed at economy, with the smaller unit laying claim to an EPA-estimated 27 mpg highway, with the V6 not too far behind with a very respectable 26 mpg highway rating (2WD models). Available in extended-cab and crew-cab guises, the Colorado can be had in 2WD and 4WD form, with a choice of automatic or six-speed manual transmissions depending on trim level and engine. The extended cab model is offered with a 6'2" bed, while the crew cab version can be had with a 5'2" bed or a 6'2" bed. Source: autoweek.com
