Pickup truck buyers want a machine that will hold its own – at the worksite, off-roading, or everyday commuting. The 2008 Chevrolet Colorado looks and acts the part, with aggressive styling, flexible configurations, and rock-solid engines that get the job done.

Available in regular cab, extended cab, or four-door crew cab configurations, the Colorado in three trim levels – the basic LS, well-equipped LT, and the off-road Z71. Engine choices range from a 2.9 liter inline 4-cylinder engine to a much heartier 3.7 liter inline 5-cylinder. Both engines can be mated to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. When equipped with the automatic transmission and 5-cylinder engine., towing capacity is a solid 5,500 lbs.

With standard 2WD, the Colorado is a capable hauler and work truck. Moving up to the optional 4x4 with Insta-Trac electronic shifting, the truck is able to handle more rugged off-road conditions. The automatic locking rear differential creates additional traction and power when you mix it up with the rough stuff. Two suspension packages are available, with upgraded wheels, springs, shock absorbers, and unique exterior badging. A nice selection of 15” and 18” aluminum wheels are available, along with several unique grilles and wheel flares.

Inside, the cabin features an optional in-dash six-disc CD changer with XM® Satellite Radio capability and MP3 playback. Cruise control, manual air conditioning, and two auxiliary power outlets come standard. The optional power sunroof opens up the cabin to the fresh air. Seating choices range from split-bench front seats to bucket seats, covered in cloth, deluxe cloth, or leather surfaces.

Safety features include standard dual front airbags and optional head-curtain side impact airbags to protect occupants in the event of a collision. A 4-wheel anti-lock braking system is standard across all trim levels.

Whether for work or play, the 2008 Chevrolet Colorado delivers solid performance, good towing capacity, and some of the best styling in the segment.
