2009 Chevrolet Colorado VL1 Crew Cab

The advantage of four regular doors and six-passenger seating in the 2009 Chevrolet VL1 Crew Cab (Chevy's “Value” trim) is mitigated somewhat by a 5-foot bed capable of hauling some 1,250 pounds of payload. The ’09 Colorado VL1 Crew Cab packs the standard 2.9-liter inline four-cylinder engine common to the ’09 Colorado LT1 trim level. This four-banger puts out 185 hp and 190 lb-ft of torque.

Standard and optional creature comforts in the ’09 Colorado VL1 Crew Cab are identical to the ’09 VL Ext. Cab, with the addition of a 60/40 split-folding rear bench seat, which increases interior cargo space significantly.
