2010 Chevrolet Colorado LT3 Ext. Cab Trim Overview

The 2010 Chevrolet Colorado LT3 Extended Cab is all about style. The LT3 package upgrades the Colorado's exterior look with a special body-color trim package and 18-inch alloy wheels. Underneath a ZQ8 sport suspension package is tuned for on-road driving and delivers a more controlled ride than most pickups.

The standard 300-hp V8 engine displaces 5.3 liters and generates a healthy 320 lb-ft of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a standard four-speed automatic gearbox. The optional limited-slip rear end should be considered mandatory, given this engine's potency.

Interior features are more luxury oriented than lesser Colorado trims; the LT3 offers standard power accessories and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. Standard safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags along with antilock brakes and stability control.
