Each 2023 Chevy Colorado trim model will feature the same engine with different output levels on each model. The LT and WT trims offer up the 2.7-liter Turbo engine, providing 237 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. There is also the choice of upgrading to the 2.7-liter Turbo Plus engine, putting out 310 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. This midsize marvel sees a max trailering ability of 3,500 lbs, increasing to 7,700 lbs for the Turbo and Turbo Plus engines.
The 2023 Colorado will come equipped with up to 10 camera views, providing more ways to keep an eye on your moving or stationary rig than any of the competing models. These can be accessed from the incredibly responsive 11.3-inch infotainment screen inside the cab, allowing you to have the ultimate in high-tech assistance with large loads and security when patches of bad weather appear.
Hitch view, hitch guidance, and the included trailering app all make each stage of the hauling game that much simpler. Standard for the WT trim are up to 17 tie-downs ready to go in the bed. There are also four stake pockets as well as multiple in-bed pockets for added storage, with grooves in the bed wall to make bikes and motorcycles fair game as recreational carry-on. Other additions that make things easier for camping, contracting, and otherwise enjoying the outdoors are a 110-volt power outlet, spray-in bed liner, and remote tailgate.
We love that the redesign for the current model focuses on adding modern conveniences, an expansion of off-road trim levels, and an overall sizable boost in capability. The new chassis stretches the wheelbase by 3.1 inches compared to the outgoing short bed crew cab, and each trim now comes with a comprehensive suite of active safety features. Official production begins in the first half of 2023 here in Wentzville, Mo. Stay updated on any feature changes and exciting news regarding this massively-popular truck here on the blog!
