The Colorado is one of the most popular trucks in the midsize-pickup segment due to its perfect size, comfort of ride, and ability to truly “make the sand fly”. The 2021 model year will see enhancements that will excite any diehard fan by helping with off-road capability and differentiating more between various trim levels. The LT and WT models will now be decked out with a new gold bow-tie emblem and Z71 variants are going to now sport a blacked-out logo.
All three of these trim levels now also get
updated center bars, reworked lower fascias and front skid plates. All models
will also feature a reworked tailgate with the emblem we have grown so fond of
embossed across it in very large letters. The Z71 and ZR2 trims will have a new
sand dune metallic exterior color, as well as a flow-through grille with Chevy
spelled out and new red tow hooks. These changes are meant to help the Colorado
fit in a bit better with the rest of the brand's selection of pickups, which
has seen an aggressive stance with the newly redesigned Silverado.
All of us here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis
have not been told about any other interior enhancements coming to the
Colorado's cabin for 2021, but we admit we are pretty satisfied with the way it
feels now on every drive. ZR2 models will enjoy the benefit of advanced
Multimatic DSSV position-sensitive dampers, as well as standard front and rear
locking differentials. There will be a 2-inch suspension lift, 3.5-inch wider
track, and cast-iron control arms, with the public debut now set for October 10th
during the 2019 Method Race Wheel Laughlin Desert Classic. We are also
expecting the latest-model Colorado to be assembled at the GM factory in
Wentzville, Missouri, with announcements regarding pricing and availability to
come early next year.
Our fiercest rival is the Toyota Tacoma, and while
we recognize its prowess and power, we are confident that our Colorado boasts
more distinctive styling, and the offroad chops to quickly become your favorite
addition to the weekend full of outdoor activity. We understand that there is
nothing quite like the allure of the Silverado with its ready-to-go attitude
and fuller-sized stature: it is one of the trucks that defines the American
dream with a steadfast salute. But when you really feel the urge to grip with
gusto on dirt, rival unchallenged in the face of boulders and streams, and
perhaps navigate through flooded territory, the coming Colorado is sure to
offer up everything needed and then some.
