| The '''[[Chevrolet]] Colorado''' and its counterpart, the '''[[GMC (automobile)|GMC]] Canyon''', are [[General Motors]]' mid-size [[pickup truck]]s introduced in 2004 to replace the [[Chevrolet S-10]] and [[GMC Sonoma]]. [[Isuzu]], which participated in the design the truck, began selling a version of the truck in late 2005 named the [[Isuzu i-Series|"i-Series"]]. The Chevrolet Colorado was jointly designed by GM's North American operations, GM's [[Brazil]] operations, and Isuzu, based on the [[GM GMT platform#GMT355|GMT355]], itself the basis for the GMT 345-based [[Hummer H3]]. The vehicles are manufactured and produced at a GM plant in [[Rayong]], [[Thailand]], and in [[Shreveport Operations|Shreveport, Louisiana]].

| |
| The Colorado/Canyon offer both [[Manual transmission|manual]] and [[automatic transmission]]s. GM also offers either a [[rear-wheel drive]] or [[four-wheel drive]] drivetrain with standard, extended, and four-door crew cab bodystyles. Most models come with the {{Auto cc|2770}} [[GM Atlas engine#LK5|LK5]] I4 engine as standard, but a more powerful {{Auto cc|3460}} [[GM Atlas engine#L52|L52]] Straight-5 comes with the Z71 package on 4-door versions and is optional on all others. The 4-door Z71s also get the 4-speed automatic transmission standard. This package was later dropped in favor of LT2 and LT3.
| |
| | |
| A ZQ8 edition is available with a lower and more road-tuned "sport" suspension than the standard Z85 and comes with 17 inch wheels, color-matched bumper and grille, and low profile fender flares. There is also a Xtreme edition of the ZQ8 which has a different front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, fender flares, grille, headlights, and 18 inch wheels. The Xtreme edition is basically a continuation of a trim package from its predecessor, the [[Chevrolet S-10]].
| |
| | |
| For 2007, Colorado/Canyons offer new engines, which include the {{Auto cc|2923}} [[GM Atlas engine#LLV|LLV]] [[Straight-4|I4]] and {{Auto cc|3653}} [[GM Atlas engine#L5R|L5R]] [[Straight-5|I5]], new colors — Deep Ruby (Sonoma Red for the Canyon), Pace Blue (Sport Blue for the Canyon) and Imperial Blue (Midnight Blue for the Canyon), and new tires and wheels.
| |
| | |
| Colorado/Canyon U.S. sales peaked in 2005 at 163,204 units, surpassing the perennial segment leader, the [[Ford Ranger]], by almost 35% and just 3.3% behind the new best-seller, the [[Toyota Tacoma]]. In 2006, however, while still leading the Ford pickup by 27.5%, Colorado/Canyon's sales lagged their [[Toyota]] competitor's by almost 34%.
| |
| | |
| Despite crew cabs being limited to LT trims which most other Chevrolet vehicles only offer front bucket seating with the trim; the LT crew cabs are the only trims of the Colorado to have 6-passenger seating (i.e. with front bench seating).
