Chevrolet Colorado
The Chevrolet Colorado has established itself as a genuinely capable, purpose-built truck in its own right. The current generation was ground-up redesigned with a stronger powertrain, improved towing and payload ratings, and a roster of off-road and performance configurations that rival dedicated off-road trucks. All of this comes while maintaining the practicality and on-road manners that make a midsize truck useful in everyday life. For Wisconsin drivers who want the utility of a truck without the full size and fuel cost of a half-ton, the Colorado is a serious option.

Powertrain and Capability
The Colorado is powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine available in three output levels depending on trim: a 237-horsepower version for most configurations, a 310-horsepower version on mid-level grades, and a high-output 310-horsepower version on performance-oriented trims with additional tuning for towing and acceleration. The more powerful versions push towing capacity to 7,700 pounds and payload to over 1,500 pounds, numbers that approach half-ton truck territory and make the Colorado a practical tool for farmers, contractors, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Off-Road Capability: Trail Boss and ZR2
The Colorado’s off-road story is one of its strongest selling points. The Trail Boss trim adds skid plates, a factory lift, and Multimatic shock absorbers for improved off-road performance at a reasonable price point. The Colorado ZR2 is one of the most capable production off-road trucks available at any price, featuring high-clearance suspension with Multimatic DSSV dampers, locking front and rear differentials, and available electronic lockers. For Wisconsin drivers who use forest roads, deer-camp two-tracks, or want genuine backcountry capability, the ZR2 delivers.
Cab, Bed and Configuration Options
The Colorado is available in Extended Cab and Crew Cab body styles, with a 5-foot or 6-foot 2-inch bed depending on configuration. The Crew Cab is the popular choice for buyers who want comfortable rear-seat space without giving up truck utility. The Extended Cab configuration prioritizes bed length and suits buyers whose primary use is hauling cargo or equipment. Four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case is available for drivers navigating muddy fields, snowy roads, or rough terrain, and in Wisconsin, four-wheel drive tends to earn its keep every winter.
