The Colorado nameplate saw its return in 2015, but
it then needed a refresh to keep its edge against mid-sized trucks such as the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma. All four trims will feature the
“Chevrolet” lettering instead of the bow tie on the tailgates, and up front the bow ties will be revised to provide matching for the larger grilles. There is
the available selection of a new Sand Dune Metallic paint for the Z trims, and
the WT, LT, and Z71 models get new center bars, lower bumpers, and front skid
plates. The Custom trim now available on the base WT includes body-color
grille, mirrors, door handles, and rear bumper, on top of 18-inch aluminum
wheels.
When you are customizing the appearance of your
vehicle to make it look like your very own, there are now more exciting options
than ever before to deck it out! There is now a new Chrome Appearance Package
available for the LT model, adding chrome on the grille, door handles, rear
bumper, belt-line molding, and on the heated manual-folding side mirrors. The
ZR2 off-road variant sees the most significant upgrade, with the taller mesh
grille now resembling what is present on a Silverado Heavy Duty minus the
thicker headlights.
The Colorado still boasts the same three engine
choices: a 200-horsepower, 2.5-liter 4 cylinder, a 308-horsepower 3.6-liter V6,
and a 181-horsepower turbo-diesel inline-4 that cranks out 369 lb-ft of torque.
You can snag up the 2021 Colorado with crew cab or extended cab and have your
choice of rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. We also pay close attention to what
the knowledgeable staff on duty at Autotrader.com has to say about new
releases, and regarding this one, they claimed it is the “most customizable of
the midsize truck segment, offers excellent power-train options, and offers up
the best in comfortable ride and handling.”
We at Jim Butler Chevrolet would have to recommend the LT trim as the best
in show, for the fact that this is where the 8-inch touchscreen comes into
play, and you’ll enjoy the ability to add other valuable options such as the
Safety Package, Skid-plate Package, and Convenience Package, which include
goodies such as heated side mirrors and remote start. You’ll also enjoy the
added presence of LED daytime running lights, a sliding center-console armrest,
and a leather- covered steering wheel. Rear-parking assist works with the
standard rear-view camera and provides alerts to nearby objects at the rear of
the truck to aid you in the perfect parking job.
