DETROIT (Tuesday, January 13, 2015) – The Chevrolet Colorado was named Cars.com’s Best Pickup Truck of 2015 at a ceremony during the North American International Auto Show on Tuesday evening.
“The impressive, all-new 2015 Colorado jumpstarts a category of trucks that was quickly fading away,” said Mark Williams, Cars.com pickup truck editor. “Midsize pickup trucks have long been a favourite of both Cars.com experts and truck shoppers, so we’re thrilled to see them come back to life, starting with the new Colorado.
“This truck offers shoppers a lot of bang for their buck with great features and an impressive ride, all at an affordable price.”
Said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager: “Offering segment-leading capabilities and efficiency, with the latest in convenience and safety features, is our goal with the Colorado and the Cars.com’s award affirms our instincts. It is an efficiently sized, maneuverable solution for customers who want the cargo-hauling and trailering versatility of a truck without the size of a full-size pickup.”
The Colorado starts at $19,900, plus $1,695 freight and destination charge, and is available in four-door extended- or crew-cab models. It offers the segment’s best horsepower and fuel consumption rating: 200 horsepower (149 kW) and 8.8 L/100km highway (2WD) from a standard 2.5L I-4 – the most fuel-efficient gas pickup trucks on the road; 305 horsepower (227 kW) and 9.2 L/100km (2WD) from an available 3.6L V-6.
V-6 models offer a segment-leading maximum trailering rating of 3,174 kilograms (7,000 pounds), as well as the G80 locking rear differential, for sure-footed track in slippery conditions and when trailering.
