My Colorado Crew Cab LT 4X4 was Red Rock Metallic, having a Jet Black/Dark Ash interior (Front leather appointed seats: $950). The 3.6 L DOHC V6 engine in the LT Crew Cab Long Box delivers 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque, and gets 26/24 mpg highway EPA fuel economy (2WD/4WD), making this one of the most powerful and efficient trucks. Not to mention the maximum trailer towing rating of 7,000 pounds. The 6-speed automatic transmission is electronically controlled with tow/haul mode and auto grade braking is standard. There is also a 2.5 L DOHC 4-cylinder engine producing 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque, which is standard on some variations of the Colorado.
Now let’s look at the outside for a moment. There are Halogen projector-beam headlamps, gunmetal grille, and a bold front bumper all supported by 17-inch Blade Silver metallic aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season tires. A unique body crease, receiving front hooks, locking tailgate, CornerStep rear bumper, and outside mirror round out the exterior ensemble, depicting a proud-standing pickup truck. The sporty front end and deeply slanted windshield add aggressiveness to the outside features that should attract even more customers.
