Why it stands out

The 2020 Chevrolet Colorado sits in the middle of the truck’s second generation, and it stands out for offering a strong mix of capability and everyday usability. By this model year, the Work Truck trim had become the entry-level version, and it came with a four-way power-adjustable driver seat, a 7-inch color touchscreen, front, side, and side curtain airbags, electronic stability control and traction control, manual folding mirrors, a locking tailgate, the CornerStep rear bumper, black moldings, and carpet. The LT added a body-color rear bumper, mirror caps and door handles, 17-inch alloy wheels, an 8-inch touchscreen, remote keyless entry, and the E.Z. Lift & Lower tailgate. That combination gives the Colorado a more complete feature set than a bare-bones work truck, while still keeping it practical.

The 2020 Colorado also benefits from a broad spread of powertrains and trims. Rear-drive trucks came with either a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine or a 3.6-liter V6 in the W.T. and L.T. trim levels, while the Z71 and ZR2 were four-wheel-drive only and used the V6 as their base engine. The sport-oriented Z71 added an off-road suspension package, automatic locking rear differential, skid plates, unique wheels with all-terrain tires, automatic climate control, driver power lumbar control, and wireless charging. At the top of the line, the ZR2 brought a Multimatic DSSV Damping System, increased ground clearance and track width, a spray-on bedliner, unique front styling, a black rear bumper, wheel flares, larger 265/65R17 all-terrain tires, leather front seats, and a four-way power passenger seat. For buyers who want a midsize pickup with real off-road hardware and a useful cabin, that makes the Colorado especially appealing.

There are also a few drawbacks to keep in mind. The Colorado’s early transmission woes are a major concern in this generation, with models built from 2014 to 2019, and even a few later ones, having recurring issues with their eight-speed automatic transmissions. The truck also does not offer the breadth and quality of active safety systems that Toyota offered standard in this era. Even so, the 2020 Colorado remains a solid companion and a good value for the money, especially in its mid-range and high trims, where it delivers a strong balance of performance and brawn.
