Chev marks four Colorado years with new editions
November marks the four-year anniversary of the return of the segment-redefining Colorado midsize truck.
To celebrate, Chevrolet is expanding the Colorado range with two new special editions, the off-road Z71 Trail Runner and street-focused RST that offer options to match customer interests on the trails and on the street.
Colorado’s success has been fueled by one of the broadest lineups in the midsize segment — including three powertrains, three configurations and a wide range of models and special editions — with a steady cadence of innovation.
Upon its introduction as a 2015 model, Colorado brought a new standard to the segment with three powertrain options, an EPA-estimated (US) 27 mpg highway and 7,000 lb of towing capability, and it introduced features such as the built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot with available 4G LTE data.
The Colorado RST builds on the successful street-focused RST models offered on Tahoe, Suburban and the all-new Silverado.
For Colorado, the RST is based on the LT trim and adds monochromatic exterior offset with black beltline and body side moldings.
It also adds a black tailgate bowtie, Colorado and RST badges. The RST is also the first Colorado to offer 20inch wheels, finished in low-gloss black.
The Z71 Trail Runner begins with the Colorado Z71 off-road package and adds the Colorado ZR2’s underbody protection. Changes include stamped aluminum front and mid skid plates, functional rocker protection and Goodyear Duratrac tires.
