The Chevy Colorado is a mid-size truck that gives the driver a high level of control. With its high-performance engines, the Chevrolet truck can haul heavier loads with more power and less strain on the engine. It also has better handling capabilities than other trucks in its class, making it an ideal choice for driving around Goose Creek. The model can seat up to five passengers.
Chevrolet redesigned the Colorado and added a Trail Boss trim to its lineup. The new Colorado comes with one engine, an inline-four engine with three states of power, depending on the trim level. The ZR2 trim has even better off-road capability. For the newest model, the Chevy Colorado comes in the following trim levels:
The new Chevy Colorado has a standard inline-four engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission on all trims. A standard 2.7-liter turbo engine on the WT and LT models has 237 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque for your trips to Summerville. A standard 2.7-liter turbo-plus engine on the Z71 and Trail Boss models offers 310 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. A standard 2.7-liter turbo high-output engine on the ZR2 model delivers 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque for your journeys around North Charleston. Additionally, the Chevy Colorado has a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds.
On the exterior, the Trail Boss trim comes standard with 18-inch aluminum wheels and all-terrain tires, so you can get into the backcountry without worrying about weathering the worst. The LT trim has a body-color front fascia, door handles, and rear bumper giving it an aggressive look.
Inside, the Chevy truck has cupholders, a new center console, and an optional sunroof. The standard cup holders help you hold your coffee and drinks when you bring them with you. Plus, the new truck's sunroof enables you to experience the outdoors in a whole new way. It provides fresh air and a sense of freedom.
The new Colorado has an 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen infotainment display, an 11-inch diagonal driver information center, an optional extra-large wireless charging pad, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto compatibility. The 11.3-inch touchscreen displays vital information on navigation, vehicle performance, and media.
With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can use your smartphone apps right on your truck's built-in screen. It also offers 10 optional camera views to assist you in hitting the open road with clarity.
The wireless charging system is easy to use by placing your device on the pad and allowing it to charge automatically via built-in inductive technology. A USB-A to USB-C cable is available with your purchase if you'd prefer to use a cable.
The upgraded Chevy Colorado has features to keep you safe by helping you avoid accidents. The safety features available for the Chevrolet truck include forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking (AEB), front pedestrian braking, lane keeping assist (LKA) with lane departure warning, following distance indicator, and Intellibeam® auto high beam assist.
The forward collision alert is a fancy term for a system that monitors your distance from other vehicles or objects ahead of you. If you're getting too close, it will sound like an audible alert. The AEB works by using a combination of cameras and lasers to detect objects in front of the truck, such as cars, obstacles, and pedestrians; if the vehicle is about to crash into one of these objects and it's moving fast enough, the AEB will automatically apply the brakes to help prevent or at least mitigate the damage from a collision.
The lane departure warning feature can be handy for those who frequently drive on unfamiliar roads around Mt. Pleasant or work long stretches of a highway. It can help prevent accidents caused by falling asleep at the wheel or missing exits due to not paying attention.
Midsize pickups occupy a useful middle ground. They tow a bass boat, haul mulch, and carry a crew, yet they still slide into a standard garage and navigate the narrow streets of older Charleston neighborhoods without drama.
Buyers land on the Colorado from two directions. Some are stepping up from a sedan or crossover and want truck utility without full-size dimensions. Others are stepping down from a half-ton they no longer need and are tired of hunting for parking spaces that fit.
Where the Colorado really separates itself is in its off-road oriented versions. Sandy two-track roads heading into Francis Marion National Forest, unpaved stretches around Berkeley County, and boat ramp approaches all become non-events with the right suspension and tires underneath you.
Our sales staff will help you sort through the range rather than steer you toward whatever is closest to the door. Describe your typical week and the right configuration usually reveals itself quickly.
One of the Colorado's quiet advantages is where it sits on price. Payments often land closer to a compact SUV than a full-size pickup, which puts truck ownership within reach for buyers who assumed it was out of the question.
Our finance department works with lenders and credit unions across South Carolina, so first-time truck buyers and long-time owners alike have options to weigh. Getting prequalified before your visit means we can focus on trucks that genuinely fit your range.
Configuration drives price more than most shoppers expect. Drivetrain, trim, and off-road packages each move the number, so knowing your comfortable monthly figure early helps us show you the right trucks instead of the ones you will regret asking about.
Trade-in equity applies straight to the purchase, and we appraise anything, including the vehicle you are hoping to replace. Knowing that number often reshapes what feels affordable.
Basic maintenance on a midsize truck follows familiar territory. Our technicians handle oil changes, tire rotations, brake service, alignments, and multi-point inspections with parts made for the vehicle.
Trucks driven off pavement need a little more attention. Sand and mud pack into places you cannot see, skid plates and underbody components deserve periodic inspection, and rough terrain knocks alignment out faster than highway miles ever will.
Off-road tires wear differently too. Aggressive tread patterns need consistent rotation to avoid uneven wear, and running them at the wrong pressure shortens their life considerably. Ask your advisor what pressure suits how you actually drive.
Regional weather rounds out the list. Heat is hard on batteries through the long summer, pollen clogs cabin filters each spring, and trucks that see saltwater at boat ramps benefit from a thorough undercarriage rinse and periodic inspection. Our parts department can source bed liners, tonneau covers, cross rails, and recovery gear when you are outfitting yours.
Size and capability separate them. The Colorado is midsize, easier to park, and less expensive to run, while the Silverado 1500 is full-size with substantially higher towing and payload ratings. If your heaviest load is a small boat or a utility trailer, the Colorado likely covers it. Larger campers and equipment trailers call for the half-ton.
Properly equipped, up to 7,700 pounds. Actual capability depends on drivetrain, axle ratio, and trailering equipment, so verify the rating on the specific truck you are looking at. Bring us the loaded weight of your trailer and we will confirm the match.
A turbocharged four-cylinder powers the lineup, offered in multiple output levels depending on trim. Higher output versions produce more horsepower and torque, which is what unlocks the maximum tow rating on the more capable trims.
They represent increasing levels of off-road hardware. Z71 adds off-road tuning and equipment to a well-rounded truck, Trail Boss brings a lifted suspension and a more rugged setup, and ZR2 goes furthest with specialized components meant for genuinely difficult terrain. For sandy tracks and unpaved county roads, the lower tiers usually suffice.
In most cases, yes, which is one of the main reasons people choose it over a full-size truck. Length still varies by configuration, so measure your garage depth and bring us that number before you commit.
Normal off-road use of a truck built for it does not void warranty coverage. It does count as severe-duty driving, which shortens service intervals for fluids, filters, and inspections. Tell your service advisor how you use the truck so the schedule reflects reality.
We invite you to test drive the Chevy Colorado at our Moncks Corner dealership. Our team can assist you in selecting the right trim for your needs, and a few miles behind the wheel usually settles the question faster than any comparison chart.
