2013 Chevrolet Colorado
Chevrolet has revealed its all-new 2013 Colorado, and when the company calls it a global product, it’s not just referring to where the truck will be sold. Its development covered five continents, but the bulk of the work was done in Thailand-where the truck was introduced-by Brazilian engineers, and GM’s South American Design Center kept the shape. GM first displayed a concept of the truck in Thailand (If you are wondering, “why Thailand?” it’s because compact trucks are very popular there), following that a few months later with another concept in Argentina, but the big question is whether or not “global” includes the U.S., GM isn’t saying, but the Colorado seems well-equipped to do battle here in the States.
The new Colorado looks like a strong replacement truck based on appearance alone. Its shape is modern and tough, with smooth, Malibu-like headlights; a large dual-slot Chevrolet grille; and muscular, swollen fenders. Chevy will offer 26 different trim, body, powertrain, and ride-height combinations, a level of choice similar to what you find in the full-size-truck market here.
The body-on-frame Colorado is available with regular, extended, and crew cabs; two body widths; two- or four-wheel drive; and-independent of the number of driven wheels-a high or low ride height. Buyers can choose from three trim levels that follow the same progression as U.S.-market Chevys: LS, LT, and LTZ. Stability control, anti-lock brakes, traction control, and front airbags are among the Colorado’s standard safety features. The interior boasts chrome accents and a classy dual-cowl dash with square Camaro-like gauge pods and ice-blue LED backlighting. Vinyl, cloth, and leather seats are available, and all Thai Colorados have standard auxiliary audio and USB inputs.
