Chevrolet Colorado Z71 review: SMALL ENGINE and short bed ONLY!

Check out the new Chevrolet Colorado! The Colorado lineup includes the Work Truck (WT), LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 models!
Key innovations:
- Improved performance with three off-road models, including the first-ever Trail Boss and an even more powerful ZR2, built on three specific chassis configurations.
- Four distinct interior trims featuring a class-leading 11.3-inch diagonal color infotainment touchscreen.
- A proven 2.7L turbo engine from the Chevrolet Silverado, offering three available power variants tailored for the Colorado.
- More cargo bed features compared to previous model years, including new bed storage system, mid-gate rear door, and available 110V power outlet.
Designers and engineers focused on three key categories to elevate the Colorado: sleek design, enhanced performance, and useful technology. Each category integrates into a streamlined lineup built around a single wheelbase and cabin configuration, creating a unified family of Colorado pickups.
The 11.3-inch diagonal color infotainment touchscreen, a class leader, is the centerpiece of the cabin and is complemented by an all-digital 8-inch diagonal color dashboard, a first in the segment. The four new distinct interior options include sporty air outlets, enveloping knee pads, and stitched doors and center console for select models, along with bolder contrast stitching on certain models.
A proven 2.7L turbo engine from the full-size Silverado is new for the Colorado, powering all five models with three distinct power variants surpassing the current model's power.
The 11.3-inch infotainment screen of the Colorado is the gateway to new and innovative technologies designed to make the driving experience more enjoyable and intuitive, especially when towing or off-roading.
Up to 10 camera views, accessible on the infotainment screen, including an under-chassis camera available first on Z71 and ZR2 models.
Test model: 2023 Chevrolet Colorado, Crew Cab, Short Box, Z71 4WD, 20-inch dark Android-finish aluminum wheels / Interior Leather Seating, Jet Black/Adrenaline Red with Z71 Convenience III / Technology Package: MSRP $57,294 / $1,262 per month for 60 months @ 6.49% for a total of $75,720.

Chevrolet Colorado : now equipped with just a 4-cylinder turbo and a short bed. Do you still like it?

[@Jon3800]

Greetings from Quebec.
I loved the first Gen Colorado. They had 3 engine choices; the rarest one being the 5.3L v8 in 2009. Actually the earlier 3.5L 5 cylinder in the 2004-2006 models had head gasket issues. They corrected this problem when they when introduced the 3.7L in 2007. Very reliable. I have a 2010 with the 5 cylinder engine. Bought it in 2014 when it had 62000 km and put 95000km since and not one engine problem. I love the cat eye grill. May not be pretty but I appreciate its size. It was a simple truck like it’s predecessor the s-10.
2nd gens were also cool with 3 engine choices, the favourite being the duramax diesel.
The 3rd Gen is attractive but not a fan of crazy tech they’re putting cars and trucks nowadays. I’m old school

[@CarQuestion]

Indeed! The v8 are rare! But i saw one on bring a trailer!

[@CarQuestion]

Use to have ? And now today ?

[@Agent1996]

@@CarQuestionwas a die hard chevy guy but after my 21 Silverado RST with the 3.0 duramax lease expired they would not give me any reasonable lease deal and told me buy a RAM. So far I love my ram Laramie !

Nice looking truck. Will see how the price compares with the new Toyota Tacoma.

[@10tenman10]

Almost all of these midsized trucks seem to come with 4 cylined turbos these days
