![]() It’s a satisfying setup in normal driving, but the V-6 tops the diesel in straight-line acceleration. The 2.8-liter Duramax turbodiesel pairs with a six-speed automatic and provides plenty of towing power, excellent fuel efficiency, and responsive pedal feel. Its new eight-speed automatic shifts predictably and helps manage engine noise on the highway. ![]() Thankfully, the all-new V-6 is an inexpensive upgrade. We wouldn’t recommend the base 200-hp 2.5-liter four to our worst enemy the availability of a six-speed manual transmission is its only advantage. The Colorado offers a powertrain for just about everyone: a base inline-four with a manual transmission, a speedy 308-hp V-6 with an eight-speed automatic, and the segment’s only diesel, a 2.8-liter inline-four that makes 181 hp and an impressive 369 lb-ft of torque. The special edition also has exclusive paint colors-Satin Steel Gray Metallic, Kinetic Blue, and Centennial Blue. It includes a color-keyed grille and rear bumper, heritage badging, a spray-in bedliner, chrome exterior bits, and unique 18-inch wheels. To celebrate Chevrolet’s 100th anniversary, a Centennial Edition package is available on the extended- and crew-cab Z71 trim. The towing system helps the driver align the pickup when reversing to assist in hooking up a trailer it’s standard on the V-6 and diesel models but not available with the four-cylinder. Heated exterior mirrors and what General Motors calls Active Tow are now available. The Colorado sees minor changes for 2018 that include new features and a commemorative edition. Still, Colorado is a multipurpose pickup truck that is clever and capable. Its handsome looks and excellent infotainment system are undermined by a cheap-looking interior and limited active safety technology. ![]() The Colorado has two cab and cargo-bed styles that pair with several powertrain choices: a base 200-hp inline-four, a quick 308-hp V-6, and the fuel-efficient diesel. It can tow a class-leading 7700 pounds with GM's exclusive diesel inline-four. Chevrolet’s mid-size pickup is highly configurable and aptly skilled, with a trim for every occasion, plus the rugged-and-ready ZR2. The Colorado can do everything from off-road exploring and hefty towing to managing school carpools.
