The Mid-Size Truck You Can Count On
It's the only mid-size pickup that's capable enough to earn the Chevrolet bow tie on its front grille. With power ranging from the remarkably frugal standard Vortec 2.9L I-4 that earns a 7.8 L/100 km highway fuel consumption rating** all the way up to the available 300 hp Vortec 5.3L V8. And with towing capacities that go up to 2722 kg (6000 lb.) and payloads up to 673 kg (1484 lb.)†. It's the mid-size pickup you can count on, with Chevrolet 's proven record of dependability. The 2011 Chevrolet Colorado.

The Latest Technology – Put To Good Use
The 2011 Colorado integrates advanced technology to do everything from enhance driver control with  StabiliTrak® and increase fuel efficiency with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) to the entertainment of the available XM Satellite RadioTM** and the peace of mind that comes with the standard OnStar® system. It's the mid-size pickup that takes its game to the next level - so you can too.

Three Forms Of Power
Understanding that different people place different demands on their truck, Colorado offers three Vortec engines. Each is engineered to respond to a distinct set of priorities. The standard 185 hp Vortec 2.9L 4-cylinder and available 242 hp 3.7L 5-cylinder engines both feature Variable Valve Timing (VVT) that not only boosts low-end torque, but also fuel efficiency. If more power is required, Colorado also offers the available 300 hp Vortec 5.3L V8 engine. All three engines feature the durability that Chevy is famous for.

A Matter Of Choice
Three engines, three cabs, three suspensions. Colorado offers a comprehensive lineup that enables you to spec out your truck to match the exact demands you place on it. Beyond the three engines listed above, Colorado also offers Regular, Extended and Crew Cab configurations. And there are three suspensions, each with its own ride characteristics. On top of the smooth riding Z85 Standard suspension, there's the added off-road capabilities offered by the Z71 Off-Road Package, and the enhanced performance of the ZQ8 Sport Package.

Control - The First Pillar Of Safety
Every Colorado is equipped with a host of driver control features that help you stay clear of incidents. Beyond the 4-wheel anti-lock braking system and electronic traction control, Colorado also includes StabiliTrak®. It detects a loss of lateral traction (sideslip), understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing), and helps return the truck to your intended line by incrementally applying an individual brake and if necessary, by reducing engine torque. As an electronic stability control system, it has proven to reduce the risk of a fatal single-vehicle crash by a remarkable 63 percent†.
