Applications

Tough on the Bottom Line

You can take a clean swipe at fuel costs with either of Colorado's in-line engines. These cutting-edge powerplants are not only amazingly fuel-efficient, they produce incredible power. The available Vortec 3.7L I-5 pumps out 242 hp and 242 lb.-ft. of torque. Colorado's engines also feature double overhead camshafts, Variable Valve Timing, Electronic Throttle Control and Sequential Fuel Injection. Serious work needs a serious engine and that's what Colorado is all about.

Along with convenient standards like a dual-position locking tailgate and available six-foot cargo box, this rugged mid-size offers you the choice of two outstanding new engines, three cab configurations (Regular, Extended and Crew), two suspensions (Z85 Standard or Z71 Off-Road), two transmissions (5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic), two drive systems (2WD or 4X4) and two trim levels (LS or LT; Crew Cab LT only).
