Colorado 4WD
Engine: 3.6L naturally aspirated V6
Torque: 500 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~6.8 s

The Chevrolet Colorado equipped with the 3.6L V6 and four-wheel drive brings strong, usable performance to the midsize pickup segment. Producing 308 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, it delivers a 0–100 km/h time of under 7 seconds—brisk by pickup standards and more responsive than many similarly sized SUVs. Throttle response is crisp, and the 8-speed automatic transmission (introduced in 2017) ensures smooth gear changes and quick downshifts when extra power is needed.

Although not tuned for high-performance driving, the Colorado benefits from a relatively low curb weight and well-balanced chassis. The independent front suspension and solid rear axle with leaf springs strike a balance between ride comfort and payload capability. Steering is accurate and reasonably weighted, making the Colorado feel more maneuverable than full-size trucks in both city driving and highway cruising. Its size and visibility encourage confidence behind the wheel, especially in tight environments where agility matters more than brute strength.

The Colorado’s sporty quality comes from its blend of real-world acceleration, mechanical simplicity, and driver-friendly proportions. It’s not flashy or track-oriented, but for a mid-size utility truck, it delivers capability with a respectable dose of speed—particularly in V6 form. This is a sport-minded workhorse, built for versatility with just enough edge to make daily driving enjoyable.

Body Styles

The Colorado was offered in multiple configurations: Extended Cab with Long Box, Crew Cab with Short Box, and Crew Cab with Long Box. All variants feature a traditional five-foot or six-foot pickup bed, body-on-frame construction, and rugged styling. The design emphasizes straight character lines, squared wheel arches, and a tall front fascia with integrated headlamps. Z71 and LT trims added off-road-themed accents or chrome detailing, while the WT (Work Truck) focused on utility. The proportions were optimized for off-road clearance, while maintaining cargo practicality for jobsite use.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

The name Chevrolet Colorado is inspired by the U.S. state of Colorado, a region renowned for its rugged mountains, expansive wilderness, and adventurous outdoor lifestyle. Chevrolet chose this name to reflect the midsize pickup’s strength, capability, and all-terrain versatility, aligning it with the spirit of exploration and resilience associated with the American West.

From the manufacturer's perspective, “Colorado” fits within Chevrolet’s strategy of using geographically inspired names (like Tahoe, Silverado, and Traverse) to evoke freedom, open-road travel, and natural toughness. By choosing a name associated with elevation, trails, and unspoiled landscapes, Chevrolet positioned the Colorado as a truck built for both everyday utility and off-road adventure.

The name also helped distinguish the Colorado as a younger, more agile alternative to the larger Silverado, especially appealing to buyers seeking a right-sized truck for recreation, light towing, and daily driving — without compromising style or strength.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

"Colorado" is the Spanish word for "colored red" or "reddish," referring originally to the Colorado River's silt-heavy water. In English usage, however, the name is synonymous with the U.S. state and carries strong geographic, outdoor, and adventure-themed connotations. It evokes durability, nature, and open-road freedom—fitting qualities for a truck aimed at active and utilitarian buyers.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The Colorado was available in a variety of exterior colors such as Summit White, Satin Steel Metallic, Crush Orange, Cajun Red, Shadow Gray, and Pacific Blue. Z71 trims introduced darkened grilles and body-color bumpers, while LT trims favored chrome and brushed aluminum accents. Special editions included blackout packages or off-road visual themes with black fender flares and unique badging.

Interior configurations varied by trim. Lower trims used durable cloth and hard plastics for utility, while higher trims added soft-touch dash inserts, leather-appointed seating, and contrast stitching. Interior colors included Jet Black, Dune, and Ash Gray, often with brushed aluminum or carbon-look trim panels. The layout featured a central touchscreen (7” or 8” depending on trim), physical HVAC knobs, and intuitive controls for off-road modes or towing assist.

Wheels ranged from 16” steel (WT) to 17” and 18” alloys in various finishes. Z71 and LT trims included dark metallic, polished aluminum, or machined two-tone wheels. Tire selections varied from all-season highway rubber to rugged off-road treads, with fender liners and wheel arch moldings to match trim intentions.

vs Competitors

The Colorado competed with the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier, and Honda Ridgeline. Compared to the Tacoma, the Colorado offered a smoother ride and more modern infotainment, though less off-road cachet. Against the Ford Ranger, it delivered a naturally aspirated alternative with superior towing specs and a wider range of trims. The Nissan Frontier (pre-2022) lagged behind in refinement, while the Ridgeline prioritized comfort over capability. In V6 form, the Colorado struck a strong balance between utility, real-world performance, and modern tech, making it a favorite for buyers who needed both work capability and commuter comfort.

Fun Fact

The Chevrolet Colorado 3.6 V6 was one of the few mid-size pickups to feature cylinder deactivation, operating as a V4 under light load to save fuel—an unusual feature for this segment. It was also one of the first trucks in its class to offer built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability, setting a new standard for connectivity in utility vehicles.
