We've driven the new-generation Colorado mid-size pickup, but here's how we'd order them using Chevy's online configurator.
I don't like getting bossed around. I want to be the one calling the shots. If it were up to me, I wouldn't be brainstorming on Zoom all afternoon I'd be in the kitchen building a grilled-cheese triptych. True genius takes time and, in some cases, many slices of cheese.
That's why I'd choose the Colorado Trail Boss. It's Chevy's own perfect sandwich. It's got the off-road attitude of the more expensive ZR2 but costs less than the Z71. You can't get the LED headlights, which is a huge bummer, but you do get 1.5 inches of extra suspension travel up front with an extra 1.0 inch in the rear. Plus it has four-wheel drive and the limited-slip differential from the Z71.
The Trail Boss also gets the 310-hp engine and 7700 pounds of towing, which makes adding the Advanced Trailering package's integrated trailer brake controller a must-have. It's a little silly that cruise control and a manual sliding rear window are an option on a mid-size pickup that costs $41,200, but sometimes you have to pay the cost to be the boss. Another extra is Chevy's chemically bonded sprayed-on bedliner .
To make the ZR2 feel even more special, I'd spend extra for Radiant Red Tintcoat paint . The Desert Boss package is the quickest way to cover the ZR2 with accessories, short of crashing one into an O'Reilly Auto Parts store. Unfortunately, Chevy's configurator doesn't reveal how much they're charging to add the heavy-duty front bumper, winch, LED roof lights, and underbody camera.
That equipment, plus the 430 pound-feet of torque from the ZR2's high-output engine, is plenty to pull Mom's car out of the ditch, should she end up there, again. Love you, Mom! Like others, I've added the Safety package , to keep myself safe from bigger trucks. The yellow seatbelts were too good to overlook, and to save the most important for last, I picked the off-road steps over entering the Colorado with a running start.
