2015 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab Short Box Z71 4x4 Review by Carey Russ - The Auto Channel (blog)
Is there a vehicle as adaptable and useful as a pickup truck. A genre that was once predominantly for work gained acceptance for personal use, even modestly upscale personal use, during the great truck boom of the 1990s, and still fits the needs and desires of many people today. During the Nineties, pickups went from bare-bones work trucks to full-boat luxury with all of the comforts and amenities of entry- to mid-level luxury sedans. And Chevrolet has something for it in its all-new 2015 Colorado lineup. As is the custom with pickups, there are Colorado trim levels for fleet sales to near-luxury conveyance. Base is that, followed by WT -- as in Work Truck -- with LT for the budget-minded personal truck owner and offroad-oriented Z71 for those who want all the luxuries, anywhere. crew cabs cab have either that or a five-foot, two-inch short box. Both use contemporary engineering to make maximum power with maximum efficiency. A six-speed manual transmission is available lower in the line, but most Colorados will be fitted with the HydraMatic 6L50 six-speed automatic. Many of the truck-based SUVs of the past may have morphed into unibody crossovers, cars in size XXL really, but not pickups. And the Colorado can tow -- standard rating for both four-cylinder and V6 drivetrains is 3500 pounds. Source: www.theautochannel.com
