The Chevrolet Colorado 2WD was first introduced for the 2004 model year as a
compact pickup truck, replacing the Chevy S10. The configurations available for
the Colorado included a crew, extended or regular cab. The crew cab is only an
available option for the Chevrolet Colorado 2WD- those who need 4WD utility can
still choose from either extended or regular cabs. Available engines for the all
new Colorado included two brand new in-line engines, the Vortec 2800 four
cylinder and the Vortec 3500 five cylinder. Both engines were powerful enough to
easily command the Colorado configured with optional 4 wheel drive and provide
impressive and essential performance in the Colorado 2WD model. These engines
were an excellent fit for the Chevrolet Colorado, providing all the towing
capabilities and performance that would be essential to the purchaser of this
small frame yet hard working pick up truck.
Although some compact pick up trucks produced by other manufacturers offer V8
engines, and therefore are capable of towing more weight, the Chevrolet Colorado
is fuel efficient and was intended to attract a different class of buyers than
those who would need to purchase trucks that are larger and more powerful. The
Chevrolet Colorado 2WD and 4WD were intended to attract those who need the
utility of a truck, but not for primary use to tow or move hefty cargo on a
regular basis. The Colorado is a roomy, comfortable compact pick up truck that
provides ample utility yet does not burden the owner with oversized initial
purchase price or towing capacity and is intended to appeal to a younger set of
drivers with an occasional need for work truck utility and an every day need for
comfort, convenience and recreational use.
There have been no significant changes to the Chevrolet Colorado throughout the
2007 model year. The Chevrolet Colorado 2WD and 4WD have exceeded customer
expectations and satisfied critics by living true to their promise to deliver a
compact pick up truck that offers excellent performance, decent payload capacity
for occasional use and many of the comfort and convenience features typically
found in a sedan-all for a relatively low sticker price. |
