2020 Chevrolet Colorado Z71

The 2020 Colorado is Chevrolet's mid-size pickup, slotting between the larger Silverado and the compact class. It competes directly with the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Nissan Frontier in the mid-size truck segment. The V6 feels quick for a pickup, and the ride is smooth enough that it doesn't drive like a traditional truck. The cabin is roomy for front and rear passengers, and the short bed still hauls plenty for everyday use. The Z71 sits above the LT and below the off-road-focused ZR2, adding a more rugged appearance and upgraded suspension tuning. Its 3.6L V6 makes 308 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, giving it confident passing power on the highway and solid traction off pavement. The Z71's optional locking rear differential and hill descent control make it a capable choice for light off-roading without the ZR2's firmer ride.
