Under the hood of the 2010 Chevrolet Colorado is a 185-horsepower, 2.9-liter inline-four, a 242-horsepower, 3.7-liter inline-five or the new 300-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8. These engines are mated to a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. The Colorado’s powertrains deliver 14-18 mpg in the city and 19-24 on the highway, which bests competitors like the Dodge Dakota, and is competitive with the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma – especially with the bigger engine options. The Colorado’s payload exceeds 1,400 pounds with the proper configuration, and it can tow up to 6,000 pounds with the V-8. The V-8 towing is competitive with some of the lower-end full-size pickups, and for significantly less money.
Three cab sizes, two bed lengths, and plenty of trim options let you build your 2010 Chevrolet Colorado to your taste. A base model two-door work truck features premium cloth seating for up to three, cruise control, air conditioning and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, plus an optional locking rear differential, CD player and XM Satellite Radio. The VL-model Crew Cab opens up two-row seating for up to six, including some of the best leg room in the class, plus remote power door locks, XM Satellite Radio, OnStar satellite communications and a CD player with MP3 playback capability. The LT model includes an optional power glass sunroof and power driver and front passenger seats with heating.
For 2010, Chevrolet enhanced safety on the Colorado by making two-row head curtain side airbags standard across the model range. This, in addition to a strong truck frame and dual front airbags, makes the Colorado a great safety pick. The Crew Cab received Five-Star frontal crash ratings, while the two models with smaller cabs received Four-Star ratings; no side impact tests were completed. Traction and stability control systems, along with four-wheel antilock brakes enhance the safe maneuverability of this strong work truck.
With options to enhance towing to full-size pickup truck levels while seating up to six, the 2010 Chevrolet Colorado is a value that is tough to beat.

"...This was my first time buying a new car, and I really didn't know where to start. I used your site to get quotes from dealers near me and compared them to the Market Price. Then, I used the knowledge I got from reading your Secrets book to make sure I didn't pay more than I should. It was so easy! I love my new car!" -Sonya S. |
