About CHEVROLET COLORADO
The Chevrolet Colorado is a mid-size pickup produced by the U.S. General Motors group. The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon were originally introduced in 2004. Both models replaced the previous Chevrolet S-10 and GMC S-15/Sonoma compact models.
The first-generation Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon were produced in collaboration with Isuzu and went on sale in 2005. They are based on the GMT355 platform, which is also the basis for the Hummer H3.
The trucks were available in three different cab configurations: a two-door regular cab model, a four-door extended cab model and a four-door crew cab model. In 2007, the Colorado/Canyon was refreshed and offered new engines and colors, with changes to the grille and interior for LT and LTZ models. The “Colorado” and “Canyon” badges were phased out in favor of the GM corporate logo. In 2009, the Colorado was refreshed again and a 5.3 L LH8 5.3L V8 engine was introduced.
In 2011, Chevrolet introduced the new version of this pickup that was available in three cab styles: Regular, Extended and Double Cab. It was sold in 4×2 or 4×4 traction. In this second generation, several versions with Duramax diesel engines were added. These engines designed by VM Motori had a displacement of 2.5 or 2.8 liters, and were associated with a manual or automatic transmission.
The third generation went on sale in 2023. It uses the GMT 31XX-2 platform, shared with the Chevrolet Trailblazer. For this model, Chevrolet has opted for smaller engines, using as standard a 2.7 turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine (L3B).
Alternatives to this pickup include the Ford Ranger, Ford Maverick, Jeep Gladiator, the Honda Ridgeline, the Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier, among others.
