The Chevrolet Colorado is a mid-size pickup that originally was outfitted with an inline five-cylinder gasoline engine, a power plant that didn’t garner many fans. The 2015 4WD model, on sale now nationwide, is refitted with a 3.6L DOHC V-6 gasoline engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
This brawny pickup is not your ordinary midsize in that it’s intended for serious off-roads. If you’re a hunter who truly goes off-road and into the outback, you need to check out the Bison.
Since Ram was the first truck maker to debut a diesel engine in a half-ton pickup truck, Chevy went one better and put a diesel engine in a midsize pickup.
