Chevrolet Colorado Review
Colorado is
Chevrolet's new moniker for its midsize
pickup, replacing the
S10. It's more, however, than just substituting an outdoorsy name for a nondescript alpha-numeric designation. The
Colorado is new from the tire print up, so to christen it anew is apropos.
The new Chevrolet Colorado is slightly larger than the S10 it replaces. It gains in passenger space and loses a minor amount of cargo space. It comes with a completely new five-cylinder engine option instead of a V6 and its towing rating decreases. The new Colorado is designed to offer favor comfort over towing and hauling capability that is seldom tested by most mid-size truck owners. In other words, buyers who want to pull heavy trailers and haul big loads should be shopping full-size pickups such as the Chevy Silverado. The Chevy Colorado is designed for the owner who wants the utility of a pickup at hand, but doesn't regularly tow or haul heavy loads. Roominess and comfort are more important to the Colorado driver.
