Chevrolet’s Colorado is a mid-sized pickup that boasts tons of capability and style. The truck is in its element when rolling over rugged terrain, but it’s also quick and maneuverable enough to make navigating tight city streets a cinch. Here’s your introduction to the 2022 Chevy Colorado!
Powertrain Options
The Colorado’s base engine is a 200-horsepower 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers reliable power and efficiency through its direct fuel injection system and variable valve timing. For heavier duty tasks, the 3.6L V6 ups power to 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. Fans of diesel power have the option of going with the 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel 4-cylinder, which provides even more torque at 369 lb-ft and can achieve an EPA-rated 30 MPG highway.
A 6-speed automatic transmission pairs well with the 2.5L and 2.8L motors and provides especially smooth gearshifts. The V6 is complemented by an 8-speed automatic that comes with additional modes that optimize gearing for towing and driving down steep grades. All models give buyers the option of a rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive layout.
Towing Capability
With the Trailering Package equipped, V6-equipped Colorados can tow up to 7,000 pounds while those with the 2.8L increase that number to 7,700 pounds. This package also includes a 2-inch receiver hitch and 7- and 4-pin connectors for hooking up your trailer with a variety of equipment. There’s also its automatic locking rear differential, which greatly increases traction by helping to prevent wheelspin.
Passenger Cabin
Whether you choose the Colorado’s extended cab or crew cab, you and your passengers will enjoy exceptional space and comfort. The front seating is bucketed to keep occupants snug in their seats when cornering and power lumbar support is available for drivers. The available Luxury Package adds a heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, and a rear-view auto-dimming mirror.
There’s plenty of storage space available with a large, deep compartment in the center console and an additional compartment hidden underneath the rear seats.
Technology
The Colorado offers an incredible amount of connectivity options thanks to its Chevrolet Infotainment 3 software. Most models feature an 8-inch touchscreen system that offers Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, streaming audio, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Other in-vehicle apps include USA Today, WarnerMedia, Fox Sports, and Glympse. Chevy’s Connected Navigation is also available and provides you with live weather and traffic updates.
Dual type-A USB ports are located in the front console while the available wireless charging station uses induction technology to help keep your devices charged.
Outstanding performance, an inviting interior, and the latest technology are all delivered by the Chevrolet Colorado in spades. Schedule your test drive with the 2022 model by contacting Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC today!
