Which Colorado is the Best?

We'd go for a V6-powered Colorado LT with a few extra options, such as lane-departure warning and forward-collision alert. It's the best of all worlds: You get a brand-new truck with a muscular engine, a lot of equipment and excellent capabilities that outshine those of other small-pickup rivals -- all for well under $30,000 with shipping. The diesel is appealing but too expensive for our tastes.

How Much Does a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado Cost?

The Colorado is offered in five trim levels: a base model called simply the Colorado, a slightly more upscale WT model (for Work Truck), a midlevel LT and the off-road-oriented Z71 and ZR2.

The base-level Colorado ($21,390), which is only offered in rear-wheel drive with a 6-speed manual transmission and no rear seats, features anti-lock brakes, a backup camera, 7-in MyLink radio, USB ports, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, air conditioning, a power driver's seat and power windows.

Step up to the Colorado WT ($24,870, Extended Cab; $27,425, Crew Cab), and you'll add rear seats, along with some new options. Crew Cab models get a 6-speed automatic, while the 3.6-liter V6, an available 8-speed automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive remain optional.

Next in line is the Colorado LT ($28,625, Extended Cab; $30,205, Crew Cab), which features a standard automatic transmission, GM's 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, 17-in alloy wheels, Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system with an 8-in color touchscreen, remote keyless entry, cruise control, satellite radio, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and steering wheel audio controls.

Topping the range is the off-road-oriented Z71 ($30,860, Extended Cab; $32,780 Crew Cab), which boasts an off-road suspension, hill-descent control, a remote starter, a power passenger seat, front tow hooks, an automatic locking rear differential and automatic climate control.

The ZR2 ($41,550, Extended Cab; $43,175 Crew Cab) offers unique interior and exterior styling cues, an off-road suspension with Multimatic shocks, front and rear electronic locking differentials, more aggressive approach and departure angles, 17-in off-road wheels and tires, an additional 2-in front and rear lift, a 3.5-in wider stance and skid-plate protection.

Options include high-tech safety features such as a lane-departure warning system and forward-collision alert, along with convenience items, including a navigation system, a Bose sound system and an innovative in-bed cargo divider. Engine choices include the 3.6-liter V6, offered on all but the base-level Colorado model, and the 2.8-liter turbodiesel, which is only available in LT, Z71 and ZR2 trims at a price premium of more than $3,000 over the V6.
