2024 Chevrolet Colorado Model Review with Prices, Photos, & Specs

About The Chevrolet Colorado

Setting the new industry benchmark for the midsize pickup truck segment, the rugged Chevrolet Colorado combines go-anywhere performance capabilities, bold exterior styling, and innovative technology to help you get the most out of your weekend plans. Designed to excel at both work and play, the Colorado comes equipped with your choice of two distinct turbocharged engine options producing up to 310 horsepower. A diverse trim range spanning from the work-ready WT and versatile LT to the purpose-built ZR1 and ZR2 Bison off-road variants gives you plenty of choices to find the Colorado that’s perfect for your lifestyle. Clever design features like a Mid-Position Tailgate, drainable tailgate storage compartment, and integrated rear bed corner steps help you work smarter. Inside the cabin, you’ll find an impressive assortment of connected technology features and premium comfort amenities to help you relax after a long day on the trails. Best of all, every Chevrolet Colorado comes standard with the proven Chevy Safety Assist suite of active driver-assist technologies to keep you one step ahead of danger.

“The Chevrolet Colorado is one of the best midsize pickups on sale. It stands out with its strong towing capability, easy-to-use controls, helpful technology features and appealing value. Trims such as the specialized ZR2 are also quite capable off-road. The latest Colorado raises the bar in the midsize truck segment in a big way.” – Edmunds

“The Colorado ZR2’s biggest engineering headline-grabber is its Multimatic spool-valve shocks, which deliver off-road compliance and on-road ride quality second to none. Even lesser models on standard twin-tube shocks generally ride and handle better than the outgoing Ranger and Tacoma, the Frontier, and especially the all-live-axle Jeep Gladiator.” – MotorTrend

What’s New for 2024

After a significant redesign just last year, the proven Chevrolet Colorado returns for 2024 with just a handful of small updates. Last year’s mid-level engine output option has been discontinued, leaving just two engine options for the Colorado. Perhaps the most notable change is the arrival of the race-inspired Colorado ZR2 Bison off-road variant. ZR2 Bison models are built in partnership with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) and feature upgraded tires, suspension components, underbody protection, and much more.

Class-Leading Capability

The Chevrolet Colorado is an impressive truck with remarkable power, towing, and off-road capabilities that previously required you to spend a lot more on a full-size truck to take advantage of. Power comes from a large 2.7-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 237 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque in standard form on WT and LT trims. Move up to the top ZR2 trim to experience 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. That’s more than most V6-equipped pickup trucks produce, regardless of which segment they’re in. Max towing comes in at 7,700 pounds which handily beats every other midsize truck in its class. Two trims are now available that are dedicated to off-roading, the Trail Boss and the ZR2. The ZR2 comes especially well-equipped with 10.7 inches of ground clearance, thanks in part to the 33-inch off-road tires. It also has locking differentials, Multimatic spool valve dampers, and an available winch by COMEUP.

Advanced Technology

A big part of what makes the Colorado so capable is that Chevrolet has loaded it with the newest and best in tech. In fact, the Off-Road Performance Display makes it easy to see just how much this tech helps as it lets you monitor altitude, 3D pitch and roll, g-forces, and more right from the cabin. 10 different available camera views including underbody cameras make it easy to see where you’re going and avoid obstacles on even the toughest terrain. There are five available drive modes to help with this and advanced 4-wheel drive is standard on most trims and available on the rest. For towing, there is an in-vehicle towing app that gives you features like trailer light sequencing, maintenance reminders, trailer mileage, and diagnostics along with an integrated trailer brake controller. Advanced safety and driver’s aids are available too like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and blind zone steering assist.
