2017 Chevrolet Colorado Z71

The Colorado is Chevy's mid-size pickup, a more maneuverable alternative to the full-size Silverado that still hauls and tows like a truck. It rides smoothly and handles nimbly for a truck, feeling more like a car than you'd expect from a pickup. The cabin is quiet and well laid out, with a user-friendly infotainment system and comfortable seating for passengers. Crew cab models offer plenty of interior space, though the shorter bed is the trade-off for that extra room. The Z71 adds an off-road-tuned suspension, hill descent control, and a locking rear differential over the LT, so it's ready for trails right off the lot.
