Connie Peters tests the Chevrolet Colorado, specifically the Trail Boss trim, a midlevel, off-road-focused version of Chevrolet’s smallest pickup.

Key highlights:

• Performance: Powered by a 2.7-liter turbo engine producing 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.
• Capability: Can tow up to 7,700 lbs with the trailering package.
• Off-road features: Includes a 2-inch lift, all-terrain tires, off-road suspension, and a rear locking differential.
• Exterior: Notable for its Reef Blue color, black badging, 20-inch wheels, and practical features like a spray-in bedliner, tonneau cover, step access, and tailgate ruler.
• Interior & tech: Offers a digital driver display, Google built-in infotainment, wireless Apple CarPlay, heated seats/steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and a 360-degree camera. Interior materials are mostly basic/plastic.
• Space & comfort: Rear seating is functional but minimal, with limited storage and amenities.

• Tested Trail Boss model: $47K

Conclusion:

A solid midsize truck offering good value, strong performance, and off-road capability, though with a fairly basic interior.
