Not everyone needs a beast of a truck. Some people need a small pickup with car-like handling, and you’ll find that in the 2021 Chevy Colorado. It’s a workhorse with best-in-class towing, and every trim is full of popular features that we’re certain you’ll find appealing. Let’s look at some of the reasons why this truck should become your next pickup.
1. A Sturdy Base Engine
The truck has a standard four-cylinder engine that provides you with 200 horsepower. This is a good amount of power for your everyday needs, and it will let you tow 5,500 pounds. That’s all you need to tow pop-up campers, very small boats, and jet skis. However, if you need to tow more than that, then you very much can. That brings us to the next available feature.
2. A Stronger V6 Engine
If you need some additional power, then the V6 engine is exactly what you want under your hood. You’ll get 308 horsepower with this engine, and you’ll be able to accelerate much faster. It also increases your towing capacity considerably. You’ll be able to tow 7,000 pounds with the V6 engine, so we believe that it’s certainly worth the extra cost.
3. A Fun Driving Experience
This truck is highly enjoyable to drive along the street. Many pickup trucks aren’t that enjoyable to drive, as they’re bulky and unpleasant to maneuver. The Colorado differs here. Driving the Chevy Colorado feels more like driving a crossover. It’s easy to drive this truck in heavy city traffic, and it’s simple to maneuver corners in it.
The truck feels stable, and the ride quality is always smooth. Even trims of the Chevy Colorado that have a rugged suspension provide you with a pleasant, silky ride.
4. A Pair Ready for Off-Roading
Is off-roading something you enjoy regularly? There are two models ready to hit the trails. The Colorado Z71 has standard four-wheel-drive, hill descent control, and a very rugged suspension. This will suit most casual off-road drivers. However, if you like to hit the extra beaten trails, then the ZR2 model will be a better fit for you. You’ll find everything from the Z71 model in the ZR2, but you also have special shocks and rocker protection.
5. A Teen Driver System
Parents will truly enjoy the Chevy Colorado. This is thanks to the Teen Driver system. This lets you set a speed limit before your teenager goes drives your truck. The system ALSO connects your phone, and it sends you an analysis of how your teenager drives. This is a great teaching tool, as you can examine where they’re going wrong, and you can help them correct their driving.
6. A Safety Package
The best vehicles come with a safety package, and the Chevy Colorado is no exception. The safety package is optional, but we highly recommend getting it. It adds lane departure warning and forward collision alert to your vehicle.
