2007 Chevrolet Colorado LT Z71 (rear view)

Chevrolet Colorado dan kembarannya, GMC Canyon dirancang bersama oleh operasi GM Amerika Utara, operasi GM Brasil, dan Isuzu, yang mulai menjual versinya sendiri di seluruh dunia pada tahun 2002.[2] Pada akhir tahun 2005, Isuzu menawarkan versi di Amerika Utara yang disebut Isuzu i-series. Model Amerika Utara Isuzu ini berbagi powertrain, gaya, dan peralatan Amerika Utara dengan kembar Colorado/Canyon dan berbeda dari penawaran Isuzu di seluruh dunia. Semua versi Chevrolet, GMC, dan Isuzu di seluruh dunia didasarkan pada GMT355, yang juga merupakan dasar untuk Hummer H3 yang berbasis GMT 345. Sebagian besar kendaraan untuk pasar di luar Amerika Utara diproduksi di pabrik GM di Rayong, Thailand. Semua kendaraan pasar Amerika Utara diproduksi oleh Shreveport Operations.

Kerja sama antara GM dan Isuzu untuk membangun truk ringan dan menawarkannya di Amerika Utara kembali ke pengaturan awal yang dimiliki kedua perusahaan di tahun 1970-an dengan Chevrolet LUV, sebuah rebadge dari Isuzu Faster.

Pasar

Amerika Utara

Truk Colorado/Canyon di pasar Amerika Utara menawarkan manual dan transmisi otomatis. GM juga menawarkan drivetrain penggerak roda belakang (4x2) atau penggerak empat roda (4x4) dengan gaya bodi kabin kru standar, diperpanjang, dan empat pintu. Sebagian besar model datang dengan 28 L (1.709 cu in) LK5 Mesin I4 sebagai standar, tetapi 3.5 I5 yang lebih bertenaga hadir dengan paket Z71 pada versi empat pintu dan opsional pada semua versi lainnya. Z71s 4 pintu juga mendapatkan standar transmisi otomatis empat kecepatan. Paket ini kemudian dijatuhkan demi LT2 dan LT3.

Colorado ditawarkan dalam tiga level trim dasar: Base, LS, dan LT, sedangkan Canyon juga ditawarkan dalam tiga level trim, tetapi dengan nama berbeda: Canyon, SLE, dan SLT.

Tiga konfigurasi kabin yang berbeda ditawarkan di Colorado dan Canyon: model kabin reguler dua pintu dengan 6 ft (1,8 m) kotak dan tempat duduk untuk dua atau tiga penumpang, model kabin empat pintu dengan 6 ft (1,8 m) kotak dan tempat duduk untuk empat atau lima penumpang, dan model kabin awak empat pintu dengan yang lebih pendek5 ft (1,5 m) kotak dan tempat duduk untuk lima atau enam penumpang. Tingkat trim teratas dalam konfigurasi kabin kru menawarkan fitur kelas atas seperti permukaan tempat duduk berbingkai kulit, kursi bucket depan ganda yang dapat disetel daya dengan penyangga pinggang dan pemanas, CD changer enam cakram di dalam dasbor, XM radio satelit, dan benturan samping belakang kantong udara.

Tiga pilihan suspensi berbeda ditawarkan di Colorado dan Canyon: Suspensi dasar Z85 menawarkan kualitas berkendara yang nyaman. Suspensi Z/71 Off-Road menambahkan poros diferensial belakang pengunci (kode RPO G80) dan peredam kejut tugas berat untuk meningkatkan kinerja off-road, juga menawarkan peningkatan ketinggian pengendaraan untuk jarak bebas yang lebih baik. Suspensi ZQ8 Sport (lihat di bawah) menawarkan ketinggian pengendaraan yang lebih rendah daripada suspensi Z85 standar, serta suspensi yang lebih kencang untuk penanganan yang lebih baik. Semua paket suspensi ditawarkan pada model 4x2 atau 4x4 di semua konfigurasi kabin, kecuali suspensi ZQ8 Sport, yang hanya ditawarkan pada model 4x2.

Edisi ZQ8 tersedia dengan suspensi "sport" yang lebih rendah dan lebih disetel jalan daripada Z85 standar dan dilengkapi dengan roda 17 inci, bumper dan gril yang serasi dengan warna, dan fender flare profil rendah. Ada juga ZQ8 edisi Xtreme yang memiliki perbedaan bumper depan, bumper belakang, side skirt, fender flare, gril, lampu depan, dan velg 18 inci. Edisi Xtreme pada dasarnya merupakan kelanjutan dari paket trim dari pendahulunya, Chevrolet S-10.

Untuk tahun 2007, Colorado/Canyon mengalami facelift dan menawarkan mesin baru, yang meliputi 29 L (1.770 cu in) LLV I4 dan 37 L (2.258 cu in) LLR I5 yang keduanya diperkenalkan karena berbagai masalah kepala, warna baru — Deep Ruby (Sonoma Red untuk Canyon), Pace Blue (Sport Blue untuk Canyon), dan Imperial Blue (Midnight Blue untuk Canyon), serta ban dan velg baru . Perubahan kecil pada gril dan interior untuk model LT dan LTZ; model LS mempertahankan tampilan pra-facelift yang sama, mirip dengan facelift TrailBlazer pada tahun 2005. Selain itu, lencana "Colorado" dan "Canyon" dihapus dari pintu demi logo perusahaan GM. Untuk model tahun 2009, Colorado facelifted lagi dan 53 L (3.234 cu in) LH8 V8 was offered, producing 300 hp (224 kW) dan 320 lb⋅ft (434 N⋅m). Untuk model tahun 2010, lencana GM dihapuskan,[3] meskipun beberapa model 2010 memiliki logo GM di pintunya.

Pada tahun 2009, kedua truk, seperti kebanyakan kendaraan GM 2009 (dan dikombinasikan dengan OnStar), menerima sistem telepon hands-free Bluetooth untuk pertama kalinya sebagai perlengkapan opsional. Pengubah CD dalam dasbor enam cakram dihentikan juga, meninggalkan pemutar CD/MP3 cakram tunggal, dan radio standar A/M-F/M saja, dengan sistem audio dua, empat, atau enam speaker. Sebagian besar truk kemudian menerima velg sebagai perlengkapan standar, dengan roda opsional yang dipoles dan berlapis krom, dengan diameter 16, 18, atau 18 inci. Hanya truk model dasar yang lebih baru, dengan pengecualian pangkalan yang menerima roda baja 16 inci, dan merupakan desain roda baru. Selain itu, sebagian besar truk baru juga menampilkan radio satelit standar SiriusXM, bila dilengkapi dengan pemutar CD/MP3.

Penjualan Colorado/Canyon A.S. mencapai puncaknya pada tahun 2005 pada 163.204 unit, melampaui pemimpin segmen abadi, Ford Ranger, hampir 35% dan hanya 3,3% di belakang buku terlaris baru, Toyota Tacoma. Namun, pada tahun 2006, meskipun masih memimpin pickup Ford sebesar 27,5%, penjualan Colorado/Canyon tertinggal dari pesaing Toyota mereka hampir 34%. Satu tahun 2005 Canyon yang dimiliki oleh kandidat Senat AS yang sukses Scott Brown menjadi terkenal karena banyak ditampilkan dalam iklan TV-nya.[4]

Safety

In the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's frontal offset test the Colorado (extended version) is given a "Good" overall score,[5] however the crew cab is rated "Acceptable".[6] In the side impact test, the Colorado crew cab is rated "Poor" with or without side curtain airbags.[7][8] Side curtain airbags were made standard on all 2010 models; side torso airbags are not offered.

Isuzu i-series

 
Isuzu i-370

The Isuzu i-series midsized pickup truck line was manufactured from 2005 to 2008. Launched at the 2005 New York International Auto Show, for the 2006 model year, the i-series replaced the Hombre, which had been out of production since 2000. Like the Hombre, which was based on the compact Chevrolet S-10/GMC Sonoma, the i-series was based on the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon. Two models were offered at launch: the i-280, powered by the 2.8 L I4 engine, and the i-370, powered by the 3.7 L I5 engine. The i-280 was available only with an extended cab, while the i-370 could be had with either an extended cab or crew cab. The i-280 was replaced by the i-290 for 2007 with the introduction of a 2.9 L engine.

The sales for the i-series were poor, with just 1,377 sold from the start of production through February 2006 according to Automotive News. As part of Isuzu's withdrawal from the United States market after the 2008 model year, the i-series was discontinued.

Thailand

 
Chevrolet Colorado extended cab (pre-facelift, Thailand)

GM Thailand manufactured the Colorado from March 2004 with a mildly altered styling compared to the North American version.[9] In late January 2006, Chevrolet introduced a G-80 differential lock system as optional for most Colorado trim levels.[10] This feature is not available on the D-Max. Thai-market Colorados received a minor redesign in late 2007, with the front fascia being altered by toning down the American influence. The facelifted model was exported to Australia as the Holden Colorado from 2008.[10]

In 2008, GM also introduced the Colorado 4x2 2.5 with diesel dual fuel system via CNG tank.[10] It is switchable between diesel fuel and compressed natural gas with the ratio of 65:35. It is also compatible with pure diesel and biodiesel B5 fuel.[11] Location of the tank is on the bed behind the cab. It was available for two cab styles.[11]

Australasia

The Colorado was released in Australia and New Zealand in 2008 as the Holden Colorado. It replaced the D-Max-based Holden Rodeo due to the split between General Motors and Isuzu.[12] Imported from Thailand, it is essentially a rebadged version of the facelifted Thai-specification Colorado, retaining its front styling. As with the Rodeo, the Colorado is available as either 4x2 or 4x4 and in a range of body styles, including single-cab, space-cab, and crew-cab. Power is provided by a range of petrol and diesel engines.[13] Of the petrol engines, Holden offers a 2.4-litre four-cylinder and the Australian-made 3.6-litre Alloytec engine. The diesel powerplant is a four-cylinder Isuzu 4JJ1 unit displacing 3.0 litres. It was replaced by the second-generation Holden Colorado in 2012.

Chevrolet Colorado (second facelift)

In March 2011, Chevrolet revealed the prototype version of the all-new Colorado at Bangkok International Motor Show.[27] It was shown as an extended cab with a rear access system, and some of the high-tech equipment. In June 2011, Chevrolet revealed its crew cab in adventure concept at Buenos Aires, Argentina (this car also shown at Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011), and in July 2011, a Holden version of crew-cab version concept got its premiere at Australian International Motor Show.

The production model is available in three different cab styles: regular cab (single cab), extended cab (space cab), and crew cab (double cab), and may either be 4x2 or 4x4.

On 9 September 2011, General Motors (Thailand) opened the diesel engine manufacturing plant, to make the Duramax engine used by the Colorado. The engine is a rebranded VM Motori turbodiesel engine with 2.5- or 2.8-liter, paired with a manual or automatic transmission.

Markets

Australasia

The Colorado was revealed at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show and went on sale in June 2012 in both Australia and New Zealand, sourced from the Rayong factory in Thailand. In Australia and New Zealand, the Colorado is badged as a Holden. Only one engine is offered, the 2.8 L turbo diesel, built by GM in the Rayong factory. It is available in four trim levels: DX (single cab chassis only), LX (chassis only), LT, and LTZ. Single-cab and crew-cab models are available as either 4x2 or 4x4.[28]

The facelifted Colorado model for the Australian and New Zealand markets was released in 2017 with GM's MyLink infotainment system including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring. The model is built in right-hand drive at the GM Thailand plant.[29]

A Thunder Edition is available on 4x4 LX, LT, and LTZ models. Among the features included with the pack are a nudge bar and towing kit, front carpet floor mats and a one-piece rear carpet floor mat, a bonnet protector, slimline weather shields, and "Thunder" badging.[30]

Production of the Colorado in Thailand ended in 2020 as General Motors ended operations in the country.[31] A refresh in line with the global Colorado was planned for the 2021 model year.[32]

Trim levels

North America

 
2015 Chevrolet Colorado (United States)
 
Chevrolet Colorado (USA)

The North American model was revealed on November 20, 2013, at the Los Angeles Auto Show.[34] Production began at Wentzville Assembly in 2014, and vehicles started arriving at dealerships nationwide by mid- to late 2014, as an early 2015 model year vehicle. It competes with other midsized pickup truck offerings.

The North American model features a different front fascia, with its design being similar to the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, and different engines. The North American Colorado’s frame is 40% lighter than the global version despite the fact that it uses high-strength steel, and is much longer.[35] General Motors' Wentzville assembly plant received a $380 million expansion of 500,000 sq ft that was constructed to support the new Colorado's assembly.[36] In September 2014, GM added workers to the Wentzville factory after it received advanced orders of 30,000 Colorado/Canyons from its dealerships.[37]

For the initial launch, the Colorado was available with either a 2.5 L Ecotec I4 engine or the 3.6 L LFX V6 engine.[38] The 2.8 L Duramax LWN turbodiesel engine was added in 2016,[38] and is a first for its class in the US market. It is also available in three cab configurations: extended cab with a 62 ft (19 m) bed, crew cab with a 52 ft (16 m) bed, or crew cab with a 62 ft (19 m) bed, with four-wheel drive being optional.[38]

Sixteen- or 17-inch steel wheels or alloy wheels are available, as well as a decor package for the W/T model that adds a chrome front grille and body-colored door handles and side-view mirrors.

Trim levels
  • Base trim level (2015-2020)[38]
  • WT base trim level ("Work Truck")[38]
  • LT midlevel trim and most common[38]
  • Z71, the top trim, includes off-road equipment.[38]
  • ZR2 for off-road performance is the halo model.[38]

The base Colorado trim level includes as standard equipment: 16-inch steel wheels, vinyl seating surfaces, an A/M-F/M stereo with auxiliary audio input and a six-speaker audio system, power windows and door locks (no keyless entry), a 2.5 L EcoTec I4 gasoline engine, a six-speed manual transmission (until mid-2019, when the manual transmission was discontinued and a six-speed automatic transmission became standard), carpeted flooring, and a chrome front grille. This model is available exclusively as an extended cab.

The W/T includes the same standard equipment as the base Colorado trim level, but has more optional equipment, such as a seven-inch color touch-screen MyLink radio, cloth seating surfaces, keyless entry, 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, color-keyed door mirrors, an automatic transmission, and a 3.6 L V6 gasoline engine. It is available as either an extended cab, or as a crew cab with either a short or long box.

The LT adds this equipment to the base Colorado and W/T trim levels: 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, 3.6 L V6 gasoline engine, automatic transmission, eight-inch color touch-screen MyLink radio, SiriusXM satellite radio, OnStar with 4G LTE Wi-Fi connectivity (later models only), cloth seating surfaces, and keyless entry. Optional equipment includes a 2.8 L Duramax I4 turbodiesel engine, remote start, a rear-view backup camera system, a premium Bose seven-speaker audio system, a GPS navigational radio with MyLink, and chrome exterior accessories. It is available as either an extended cab, or as a crew cab with either a short or long box.

The Z71 is the top-of-the-line trim level, and adds tthis to the LT trim level: unique aluminum-alloy wheels, vinyl and cloth combination seating surfaces, and a black front grille. Optional equipment is the same as the LT. It is available as either an extended cab, or as a crew cab with either a short or long box.


Later 2015 Colorado and Canyon models offered 4G LTE Wi-Fi capabilities through the OnStar system, standard on higher trim levels, and optional on lower trim levels. For 2016, trucks equipped with the eight-inch MyLink or GMC IntelliLink touchscreen infotainment system received standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

Starting with the 2017 model year, base Colorado and Canyon models received a standard seven-inch Chevrolet MyLink (or GMC Intellilink) touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth for hands-free calling and wireless stereo audio streaming, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, an A/M-F/M radio, and auxiliary and USB audio inputs, along with a six-speaker audio system. Most models also included a rear backup camera system. OnStar with 4G LTE Wi-Fi capabilities was optional on base Colorado and Canyon models.

The six-speed manual transmission was discontinued during the 2019 model year and is no longer available in the Colorado or Canyon.[39]

Starting with the 2020 model year, both the 4x2 Z71 Extended Cab and Z71 crew-cab long-box models were removed from the lineup, along with the RST and Redline editions, as both will be combined with the luxury edition.[40]

The ZR2 is the "off-road" trim level, and adds to the Z/71 trim level: 2-inch taller suspension, 3.5-inch wider track, 31-inch off-road tires, unique aluminum-alloy wheels, leather-trimmed seating surfaces, functional rock sliders, Multimatic DSSV position-sensitive shock absorbers, aluminum skid plates to protect the radiator, oil pan, and front differential, locking front and rear differentials, and high approach-angle front bumper. Optional equipment is the same as the LT and Z/71 trim levels, except for the availability of a rear bed-mounted light bar. It is available as either an extended cab with a long box, or as a crew cab with a short box.

The 2021 model year Colorado will receive a refreshed look and a updated grille in line with the Chevrolet design language, but will see its level trims reduced to four: Work, LT, Z71, and ZR2. The 2WD base trim is eliminated.[41]

In Mexico, three configurations are available: WT Double Cab, with a 2.5 L engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and rear wheel drive; the LT Double Cab, with a 2.5 L engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and rear wheel drive; and the LT Double Cab, with a 3.6L V6 engine, 8 speed automatic transmission, connectable transmission and 4x4.

GMC Canyon
2015 GMC Canyon
2018 GMC Canyon

The all-new GMC Canyon was introduced on January 12, 2014. GMC introduced in an official press and video release and made its public debut the following day (January 13, 2014) at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Sales started at dealerships in the second quarter of 2014 as a 2015 model.

The Canyon offers the same features as its cousin, but will have a higher MSRP and more options. It also sports a front grille design that closely resembles its full-size sibling, the GMC Sierra. The Canyon comes in three trims and either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The base model is only available with the 2.5 L Ecotec I4 engine, a 6-speed manual transmission (until mid-2019 when the manual transmission was discontinued and a six-speed automatic transmission became standard), and two-wheel drive.

Optional features (based on trim) will include active aero grille shutters, available OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with on-board wifi, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and an available Teen Driver feature that limits speed and audio volume.[42]

On February 16, 2015, GMC posted spy shots of a Canyon with Denali styling, indicating plans to add the mid-size truck to the Denali lineup as a 2016 model.[43]

Both the Canyon and Colorado received a facelift for the 2021 model year, prior to the debut of a third generation in either the 2023 or 2024 model years.[44]

GMC also saw its level trims reduced and renamed for the 2021 model year: Elevation Standard, Elevation, AT4, and Denali. The SLE and SLT trims are eliminated.

Colorado ZR2

The ZR2 concept was shown at the 2014 LA Auto Show. Due to positive feedback, a production ready version was introduced two years later at the 2016 LA Auto Show, which joined the 2017 lineup.

The Colorado ZR2 offers the same amenities as its brother the Z71, but is heavily tailored towards off-road performance. The ZR2 model is available in 2 body configurations; crew cab with 5 ft bed or extended cab with 6 ft bed. Engine options are the 3.6 L LGZ V6 engine and the 2.8 L Duramax LWN turbodiesel engine.

Chevrolet designed many new parts specifically for the ZR2 to improve off-road performance. New features and parts standard or optional on the ZR2 include:

  • 3.5" Wider Track
  • 2" Lift
  • Multimatic Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) Dampers
  • Electronic Locking Front and Rear Differentials
  • Longer, Cast Iron Control Arms
  • Aggressive Front Bumper and Grille with Improved Approach Angle
  • Redesigned Rear Bumper For Improved Departure Angle
  • Cowl-Style Hood with Black Insert
  • Wider Fender Flares
  • Aluminum Skid Plates to protect radiator, oil pan, and front differential
  • Rock Sliders
  • New 17x8 Wheels with 31" (265/65R17) Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires
  • "Off-road Mode" alters throttle progression, shift calibration, traction control, stability control, and ABS for different terrain.
  • Optional Bed-Mounted Full Size Spare Tire
  • Optional Carpet Delete

The 2018 Colorado ZR2 was featured in Season 9 Episode 99 of Motor Trend Head 2 Head, where it faced off against a 2017 Ram Power Wagon.

Colorado ZH2 (Military Truck)

GM Defense and U.S. Army TARDEC partnered in 2016 to develop and successfully test the Chevrolet Colorado ZH2 fuel cell electric truck, with low acoustical and heat signatures as well as the advantages of on-board water production, exportable electric power and off-road capability.

Infantry Squad Vehicle

The US Army's Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) is heavily-based on the diesel variant of the ZR2, with 90% of the vehicle coming from Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components.[45]
