Medium-sized trucks are necessary for anyone trying to combine heavy lifting capability with a more manageable size. Luckily, the Chevy Colorado boasts quite the performance specs when compared with other available models and its performance features lend a big hand in making it stand out.
One key performance feature is the standard 3.6-liter engine, which comes equipped with a Dual Overhead Camshaft design. This makes the engine more fuel-efficient while simultaneously boosting its achievable horsepower and torque. It also comes with variable valve timing and is direct fuel-injected.
A few other performance features worth mentioning include the standard 8-speed automatic transmission, standard all-season tires, and the standard electronic traction control, all of which help drivers keep a grip on the road and their focus on enjoying the ride, even in hazardous weather.
