2008 Chevrolet Colorado LS 4WD Trim Overview

The LS offers a slightly more comfortable and better-equipped version of the Colorado's entry-level Work Truck trim. Standard features are still relatively sparse, but buyers have the option to add items like a CD/MP3 player and satellite radio at this level. The regular-cab version features a 72-inch bed.

The LS is powered by a 2.9-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 185 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and a four-speed automatic is optional. Chevy also offers this truck with an optional 3.7-liter inline five, bumping horsepower to 242 and torque to 242 pound-feet. Fuel economy is estimated at 18/24 mpg, while Chevy claims a towing capacity of 4,000 pounds.

The addition of Chevy's 4x4 system also adds a two-speed InstaTrac transfer case with push-button controls. A locking rear differential is optional.
