Chevrolet Colorado Custom Wheels

Bigger, bolder and more refined than any compact Chevy truck in years, the Colorado is an all-new pickup from Chevrolet. Slightly larger than the S-10 truck that it replaces (S-10s will remain in production for at least another year), the Colorado features all-new engines, additional class-exclusive features and a tough new look that makes it instantly recognizable as a Chevrolet pickup. Built on a stout ladder frame chassis, the Colorado offers three body styles, two- and four-wheel drive and a choice of two new Vortec inline engines. Derived directly from the 4.2-liter straight six found in the TrailBlazer SUV, the Colorado's all-aluminum four- and five-cylinder power plants are the most technologically advanced engines ever offered in a compact Chevrolet truck. Both engines use dual-overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and electronic throttle control to deliver a broad range of peak torque that extends from 1,200 to 5,600 rpm on the standard 2.8-liter four-cylinder, and from 1,400 to 5,200 rpm on the optional 3.5-liter five-cylinder. Both engines offer a choice of a four-speed automatic or a new five-speed manual. The suspension consists of a solid rear axle with leaf springs and an independent coil spring front suspension. An off-road package swaps out the coil springs for torsion bars, while a sport package adds an anti-sway bar in back. Off-road enthusiasts will also appreciate the Colorado's dual-speed push-button transfer case as well as the optional locking rear differential. Since the majority of compact truck buyers purchase their vehicles for personal use, the Colorado was given a more refined and feature-laden cabin than the previous S-10. The overall design is simple, with rotary dials for the climate control system and a large radio faceplate for easy control of the XM Satellite Radio-compatible audio system. Materials quality still isn't great, but build quality has improved considerably, so expect fewer loose trim pieces and smaller panel gaps. Extended cab models feature reverse-opening rear doors on both sides for easier access to the backseats, while the large crew cab models offer a 60/40-split folding rear seat that can seat three adults, according to Chevrolet. Regardless of whether the cabs are comfortable or not, segment-first side curtain airbags are available that provide head protection in the event of a side impact or rollover accident. Standard antilock brakes and optional traction control on 2WD models further contribute to the Colorado's complement of safety features. All things considered, the Colorado offers all the necessary ingredients to satisfy the majority of compact truck buyers. Its range of engines provides both efficiency and power, and with three body styles to choose from in both two- and four-wheel drive, finding a perfect fit shouldn't be too difficult. Although its old-tech S-10 predecessor has kept Chevrolet off the minds of many compact truck buyers as of late, the Colorado has the hardware to make Chevrolet a legitimate competitor in this segment once again.

Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options: The Colorado comes in regular, extended and crew cab body styles, and all are offered in both two- and four-wheel drive. Regular and extended cab models have a six-foot bed, while the crew cab gets a five-foot bed only. There are two basic trim levels: base and LS. Base models come standard with air conditioning, a 60/40 cloth bench seat and an AM/FM stereo. Upgraded LS models add titanium-colored trim, tilt steering, cruise control, full carpeting, bucket seats and a CD stereo. The Z71 off-road package adds a torsion bar front suspension with heavy-duty shocks, a locking rear differential, oversize tires and skid plates on 4WD models. Other notable options include the OnStar communications system; a power convenience package provides power windows, locks and mirrors, along with keyless entry XM Satellite Radio and a six-disc CD changer. For more Style information, see our Compare Styles page. Powertrains and Performance: Two engines are available: a 2.8-liter inline four-cylinder and a 3.5-liter inline five-cylinder. Both are built out of lightweight aluminum and both feature dual-overhead cams, four valves per cylinder and electronic throttle control. The 2.8-liter engine is standard on all models and is rated at 175 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. The optional 3.5-liter engine offers 220 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, but a four-speed automatic is also available on all models. Four-wheel-drive models feature a dual-range transfer case with push-button controls. Traction control is available on 2WD models, and both two- and four-wheel-drive trucks can be equipped with an optional locking rear differential. For more Performance data, see our Specifications page. Safety: The Colorado is the first compact truck to offer roof-mounted side curtain airbags. Dual-stage driver and front-passenger airbags are standard along with four-wheel antilock brakes. For more Safety information, see our Safety page. Interior Design and Special Features: It may be all new, but it's still a compact pickup so don't expect anything fancy in the Colorado's cabin. Simple rotary climate controls and a large stereo faceplate make the interior seem instantly familiar as soon as you get in. The gauges are similarly basic, but functional in their design. A driver information system and XM Satellite Radio are notable options, along with the OnStar communication system and heated leather seats. For more Interior Features information, see our Specifications page. Driving Impressions: The new inline engines deliver smooth, refined power, but their off-the-line punch is a little disappointing. Even still, either engine provides the kind of midrange torque and higher-rpm horsepower necessary for most day-to-day driving. Shifts from the four-speed automatic are firm and well-timed, and although it's still fairly vague through the gears, the new five-speed manual gearbox is about as good as you're going to find in a compact truck. The stock suspension tuning is on the soft side, but if you're really intent on going fast or bashing boulders, the sport and off-road packages provide suitable performance.
