The Colorado offers a walk on the wild side with aggressive styling, dynamic traction control, and flexibility that is hard to beat. When it was first introduced in 2004, it was Chevy's answer for a midsize truck. It offered three trim levels, multiple bed configurations, and innovative safety and design features. Today's Colorado offers much of the same, as well as exceptional towing capabilities, improved functioning for managing cargo, and the industry's latest technological features.
Depending on the trim, it also offers enough ground clearance to tackle any terrain, allowing you to easily go wherever you need. In addition, the Colorado boasts a wider chassis and factory lift that provides better angling during the drive and selectable drive modes for increased confidence on rough roads. Not only that, but the Colorado offers excellent towing capabilities, making it a powerhouse work truck for when you need to haul equipment and supplies to and from the worksite—and with Chevy's dynamic trailering packages, you'll have all the stability and assurance you need.
Right on the heels of a redesigned 2023 Chevy Colorado, the 2024 version is ready to take the truck world by storm. It continues to offer multiple trims that appeal to a variety of drivers, including the introduction of the all-new ZR2 Bison, an off-road capable trim that hugs the ground with precision.
Notable features for the 2024 Chevy Colorado include a standard 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder engine for all trims, an eight-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive (with an available four-wheel drive system), and Chevy Safety Assist including Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist; a standard four-door Crew Cab and sixty-two-inch bed for all trims, up to 7,700 lbs towing capability, a multi-functional tailgate with molded cup holders and measuring strip, multiple storage options inside and within the bed (including an available watertight storage compartment), and an 11.4-inch infotainment touchscreen with seamless connectivity to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 has long been the flagship for Chevy's trucks, offering impressive durability and performance since its debut in 1999. This full-size truck offers off-road-ready versions when choosing the ZR2, LT Trail Boss, or Custom Trail Boss, but it also stands firm as a capable work truck with excellent hauling, a precision-tuned suspension, and innovative features that keep you and your passengers connected and safe throughout the drive. It also boasts one of the truck industry's best-functioning beds with impressive attention to detail.
Each Silverado provides drivers and passengers with premium cushioned seating, connectivity, and peace of mind with a vast collection of safety features that allow you to enjoy the ride, whether you're tackling the freshly laid snow or heading to Kent Falls State Park to enjoy the cascade and cast a line.
For 2024, the Silverado 1500 continues its dedication to excellence by offering you and your passengers even more perks. These include four dynamic engine choices (including a TurboMax with 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque), Advanced Trailering Systems to help you haul with confidence, up to 13,300 lbs of trailering capacity (depending on trim and package), up to 89.1 cu.ft. of cargo volume and twelve standard tie downs, an available Power-Up/Down Tailgate, and a Multi-Flex Tailgate with six options that help you haul, work, and load/unload.
The 2024 Silverado 1500 also features an intuitive interior design that provides state-of-the-art technology and connectivity, a 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen (on the LT and above), the Super Cruise system with more than 400,000 miles of semi-autonomous-compatible roads, off-road dominance with the ZR2's 33-inch mud-terrain tires, and the ZR2 Bison trim with an impressive 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel or 6.2L V8.
