The 2012 Chevrolet Colorado, a compact pickup, comes in three main trims: Work Truck, LT and LTZ. It offers tread carefully, bridging the gap between a comfortable ride and practical capability. The base Work Truck model comes standard with a 2.9-litre four-cylinder engine delivering 185 horsepower, while LTZ trims can upgrade to a 5.3-litre V8 pushing 300 horsepower paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Colorado comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but all trims have the option for a four-wheel drive system. This model doesn't skimp on safety features, boasting antilock brakes, stability control and front and curtain-side airbags. Inside, one can expect a rather basic, yet practically arrayed cabin, with availability of AM/FM radio and OnStar Services.
