Colorado ZR2 Race Parts Released by Chevy Performance

MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- The Colorado ZR2's performance envelope grows once again with the introduction of 15 factory race components that were developed and validated with over 10,000 miles of off-road racing. These parts, created in partnership with Multimac and Hall Racing, elevate the ZR2's desert-running capabilities to new levels, and, for the first time, allow Chevy customers to build a Colorado with the same performance parts that raced and won in the desert. 

Renowned off-road driver Chad Hall, completed every race in the "Best in the Desert" series in a Colarado ZR2 throughout 2017 and 2018 to test the vehicle's desert racing capabilities. In addition, he used the ZR2 to pre-run the Baja 1000 race. This success grabbed public attention and soon Chevy customers began hounding Chad for advice on building their own "Hall Racing ZR2". Chevy responded with the production Colorado ZR2, which combines nimbleness and maneuverability with the most off-road technology of any vehicle in its segment. 

It features front and rear tracks that have been widened by 3.5 inches, and a 2 inch lifted suspension. Functional sliders provide more accurate performance over rocks and obstacles, and the front and rear bumpers have been modified for better off-road clearance. Its class-exclusive features include standard front and rear electronic locking differentials, an available diesel engine, and the first off-road application of DSSV damper technology. 

These parts are all available for individual purchase, or as a complete package, giving Chevy Performance customers the ability to either build their truck up over time, purchase whatever parts spark their particular interest, or to build an identical 'Hall Racing' ZR2. They go on sale between now and early 2019 and can be found here: https://bit.ly/2zRrH61

Chevy Celebrates the Colorado's 4th Birthday

MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- November 2019 marks the 4th birthday of the Chevrolet Colorado. A segment redefining truck that took the US market by storm. To celebrate, Chevy is expanding the Colorado family with two 2019 special editions, the off-road Z71 Trail Runner and the street-focused RST. 

The Colorado has pushed GM up through the ranks as the most successful truck company for the past four years, selling 634, 505 more pickups than the closest manufacturer from 2013 until the first three quarters of 2018. "The success of Colorado helped reignite the midsize truck segment. It changed what customers expected from a midsize truck, brought new customers to Chevrolet and has inspired competitors to follow Chevy's lead" said Sandor Piszar, director of Marketing for Chevrolet Trucks. 

The Colorado's success has been fueled by one of the broadest lineups in the midsize segment - featuring three powertrains and configurations, in addition to a wide range of models and special editions. Both of the 2019 special releases feature the flow-through "CHEVROLET' lettered grille, first seen on the Colorado ZR2 Bison, which is also available as an accessory for an MSRP of $395 plus installation and tax. 

The Z71 Trail Runner features the Z71 off-road package and adds the ZR2's underbody protection. Additional changes include a stamped aluminum front and mid skid plates, functional rocker protection and Goodyear Duratrac tires. While the RST ramps up the street features offered on the Tahoe, Suburban, and all-new Silverado. With LT trim, monochromatic exterior offset, a black beltline, body side moldings, a black tailgate bowtie, Colorado and RST badges. It's also the first Colorado to offer 20-inch wheels, finished in a low-gloss black. 

The 2019 Colorado releases join numerous other GM special editions and fully redesigned models for this upcoming year. Which release has been your favorite so far? Comment and let us know!

Chevrolet Colorado Named Truck of the Year by MOTOR TREND

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – So you've probably heard us talking about how great the new Colorado midsize truck is...how it's got all these great safety and connectivity features...and how it packages everything you'd find in a full size truck into midsize convenience. Welllll, we're not the only ones obsessed with the new truck because MOTOR TREND just named the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado Truck of the Year!

Let us first start off by saying that earning the Truck of the Year title from Motor Trend is not an easy one, especially for a midsize truck competing against larger, full-size models. The publication's current Truck of the Year program is one of the most comprehensive evaluations to date and is strictly limited to new or significantly updated vehicles for the upcoming model year, pushing contenders to the limit with standard MOTOR TREND testing, a trip to world-class automotive proving grounds, "Real MPG" fuel economy testing at MOTOR TREND HQ, and both instrumented and real-world testing.

That being said, it's even more impressive that the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado earned MOTOR TREND's Truck of the Year title by a super rare unanimous vote! The editors appreciated the Colorado's stylish yet functional design that combines overall capability, impressive handling, best-in-class fuel economy, and effective powertrains; leading it to beat out the 9 other nominees!
