2017 Chevrolet Colorado Work Truck

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. Stepping up to the Work Truck gives you the Colorado's base capability with four-wheel drive, a practical choice if you need traction on job sites or in snow without paying for the LT's extra comfort features. Its 2.5L I4 makes 200 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, which is adequate for daily driving and light hauling, though you'll notice the lack of low-end grunt compared to the V6 models. The Work Truck keeps things simple with vinyl flooring and manual windows, so expect a no-frills cabin that's easy to clean but short on the conveniences found in higher trims.
