What Makes the 2022 Chevy Colorado the Perfect Adventure Truck?

Planning to take some road trips this year? If they’ll involve visiting areas with steep terrain or perhaps you want to get off roads completely, here’s why you’ll want to take a look at the 2022 Chevy Colorado.

Power

The Chevy Colorado comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that pumps out 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque. There are two other available engines as well. The first is a 3.6-liter V6 that puts out 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque and the other is a turbocharged 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel that produces 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

Both four-cylinder engines come with a six-speed automatic transmission. The V6 comes with an eight-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while four-wheel drive is available.

Off-Roading

There are a couple of trims that are specifically designed for rugged terrain. Both the Z71 ZR2 come with a heavy-duty suspension system, locking front and rear differentials, and hill descent control.

The ZR2 also adds a tow-speed transfer case, a transfer case shield, and off-road rocker protection. For the ultimate off-roader, you’ll want the ZR2 Bison. This comes with 17-inch wheels and 32-inch off-road tires, and AEV bumpers and skid plates.

Towing and Hauling

If your outdoor adventures will involve towing something like a camper or boat, the Chevy Colorado will give you what you need. While the base engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds, the V6 doubles that to 7,000 pounds. The turbodiesel will add an additional 700 pounds to that number. The V6 is the best for hauling, as it offers a maximum payload of 1,550 pounds.

To see if the new Chevy Colorado is the right truck for you, come down to Lester Glenn Chevrolet in Toms River, NJ to take it for a test drive.
