Decked Out and Durable: Why the 2025 Colorado Is the Holiday’s Star of Midsize Pickups

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado stands out as a truck that truly impresses at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis. While its tough and rugged exterior makes a bold statement, the ride quality is remarkably smooth and comfortable. Maneuvering through curvy roads is effortless, thanks to its precise handling and ease of driving. For those seeking off-road excitement, the Colorado is engineered to tackle trails and rough terrain with exceptional capability.

Rear-wheel drive is standard on the WT and LT trims, but as you climb to the higher models, all-wheel drive comes included, making them adventure-ready.

There’s just one engine option, but it’s a tried-and-true gem! A turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder that packs 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. That means it’s got plenty of zip for just about anything you throw at it. Need to haul stuff? It can carry up to 1,710 pounds, and it tows a whopping 7,700 pounds! For a compact truck, that’s seriously impressive.

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado comes exclusively in a Crew Cab configuration, offering seating for up to five passengers. Its interior is thoughtfully designed, featuring good-quality materials, although lower trims may include some hard plastics. Rear-seat legroom measures 34.7 inches, which is comparable to many compact cars and may feel a bit tight for taller passengers.

The truck features a single bed length of 61.7 inches, providing an impressive 41.9 cubic feet of cargo space—making it the leader in its class for what is traditionally known as a short bed. However, if you need a longer bed for larger loads, the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier are the only compact pickups offering extended bed options.

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado has received an overall safety rating of four out of five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It comes equipped with a solid range of standard driver-assistance features, such as lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, and forward collision alert, enhancing its overall safety profile.

For families, the Colorado provides two full sets of LATCH connectors for the rear outboard seats, along with a tether anchor for the rear middle seat, making it a practical choice for securing child safety seats.

The Z71 trim is a strong recommendation for its well-rounded combination of features and capabilities. It includes valuable amenities such as a 120-volt power outlet in the pickup bed, an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

However, if serious off-roading is part of your plans, the Trail Boss trim may be a better fit. It offers additional off-road-focused upgrades, including 2 extra inches of ground clearance, an automatic locking rear differential, and hill-descent control, making it a more suitable choice for tackling rugged terrain.

2025 Chevrolet Colorado Models and Trims Overview

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado is available in five trims: WT (Work Truck), LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2.
