2009 Chevrolet Colorado LT2 Ext. Cab

For those who want the spaciousness of a larger cab as well as the capacity of a 6-foot bed, the rear-wheel-drive 2009 Chevrolet Colorado LT2 Extended Cab pickup fulfills those desires. Equipped with rear-opening “suicide” doors and rear jump seats, the Colorado LT2 Ext. Cab offers seating for five passengers and 1,360 pounds of payload capacity.

The standard 3.7-liter inline five-cylinder engine and standard four-speed automatic transmission are capable of 242 hp and 242 lb-ft of torque and get EPA estimates of 17/23 mpg. Convenience, safety and appearance features, and options are the same as those for the ’09 Colorado LT2 Crew Cab trims.
