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.

Three different suspension options were offered on the Colorado and Canyon: The base Z85 suspension offered a comfortable ride quality. The Z/71 Off-Road suspension added a locking rear differential axle (RPO code G80) and heavier-duty shock absorbers for improved performance off-road, also offering an increased ride height for better clearance. The ZQ8 Sport suspension (see below) offered a lower ride height than the standard Z85 suspension, as well as firmer suspension for improved handling. All suspension packages were offered on 4x2 or 4x4 models in all cab configurations, except for the ZQ8 Sport suspension, which was only offered on 4x2 models.

A ZQ8 edition is available with a lower and more road-tuned "sport" suspension than the standard Z85 and comes with 17 inch wheels, color-matched bumper and grille, and low profile fender flares. There is also a Xtreme edition of the ZQ8 which has a different front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, fender flares, grille, headlights, and 18-inch wheels. The Xtreme edition is basically a continuation of a trim package from its predecessor, the Chevrolet S-10.

For 2007, Colorado/Canyon was facelifted and offered new engines, which include the 29 L (1.770 cu in) LLV I4 and 37 L (2.258 cu in) LLR I5 which were both introduced due to numerous head problems, new colors — Deep Ruby (Sonoma Red for the Canyon), Pace Blue (Sport Blue for the Canyon), and Imperial Blue (Midnight Blue for the Canyon), and new tires and wheels. Minor changes to the grille and interior for the LT and LTZ models; the LS models kept the same pre-facelift look, similar to the facelift of the TrailBlazer in 2005. In addition, the "Colorado" and "Canyon" badges were phased out from the doors in favor of GM's corporate logo. For model year 2009, the Colorado was facelifted again and a 53 L (3.234 cu in) LH8 V8 was offered, producing 300 hp (224 kW) and 320 lb⋅ft (434 N⋅m). For the 2010 model year, the GM badges were phased out,[3] although a few 2010 models had the GM logo on the doors.

In 2009, both trucks, as with most 2009 GM vehicles (and combined with OnStar), received a Bluetooth hands-free phone system for the first time as optional equipment. The six-disc in-dash CD changer was discontinued as well, leaving the single-disc CD/MP3 player, and a standard A/M-F/M only radio, with two-, four-, or six-speaker audio systems. Most later trucks received alloy wheels as standard equipment, with optional polished and chrome-plated wheels, in 16-, 18, or 18-inch diameters. Only later base-model trucks, with the exception of the base received 16-inch steel wheels, and were a new wheel design. In addition, most newer trucks also featured standard SiriusXM satellite radio, when equipped with a CD/MP3 player.

Colorado/Canyon U.S. sales peaked in 2005 at 163,204 units, surpassing the perennial segment leader, the Ford Ranger, by almost 35% and just 3.3% behind the new best-seller, the Toyota Tacoma. In 2006, however, while still leading the Ford pickup by 27.5%, Colorado/Canyon's sales lagged their Toyota competitor's by almost 34%. One 2005 Canyon owned by successful U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown became famous as it was widely featured in his TV advertisements.[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

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.
