2015 Chevrolet Colorado review

1. A function-focused standard trim 

More than just a truck for the easy life, a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado has a pair of trims aimed at working as hard as you do. The base trim, simply known as Base, only includes the essentials, like automatic headlights, cruise control, a rearview camera, and a 4.2-inch touchscreen. However, the vinyl seating surfaces and floor coverings are easy to clean and stand up to the rigors of the work site. Additionally, the Base trim is only available in an extended cab configuration. 

2. A pair of engine choices 

Whether it’s commuting or hauling a trailer, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado’s engines are up to the task. At 200 horsepower, the standard 2.5L four-cylinder has adequate power for light-duty work and everyday commuter tasks. Plus, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado RWD  and automatic transmission with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg city and 20 mpg highway fuel mileage.

Or, get the 2o15 Chevrolet Colorado with the available 3.6L 305-hp V6 engine for extra power to tackle heavier tasks. While a six-speed manual transmission is standard on Base and Work Truck trims, LT and higher trims use a six-speed automatic transmission. 

3. A capable hauler 

The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado allows you to pull a trailer of personal watercraft or tools, maybe even a travel trailer for the next RV camping adventure. For example, when properly equipped, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and 3.6L V6 can tow up to an estimated 7,000 pounds.

Even the base 2.5L four-cylinder has some hauling potential, with an estimated max tow capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. 

4. Comfortable and composed ride 

Enjoy a smooth and comfortable cabin experience in a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado that’s better than you expect from a truck. While not luxury car smooth, the suspension dampens bumps and keeps the body shaking in check for a smoother ride than most trucks. Plus, the smaller dimensions and tight steering give the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado sharp handling. 

5. Plenty of available modern tech 

The mid-tier LT is an excellent trim to get the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado in. That’s because the LT trim includes comfort features like a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, and power-adjustable mirrors. But it’s the tech features that shine in the LT trim, which includes Bluetooth® connectivity, an eight-inch touchscreen, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and four USB ports.
