A favorite among
cross-shopping consumers because of its extensive lineup and numerous
options according to pickuptrucks.com, the 2011 Chevrolet Colorado is a
truck that can meet a wide range of wants and needs. Available in WT,
Z85, Z71, and Sport trim levels; in Regular Cab, Extended Cab, and Crew
Cab configurations; and in 2WD and 4WD drivetrains, the 2011 Colorado
comes with 3 engine choices: a standard 2.9-liter Vortec I-4 engine that
generates 185 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque, an available
3.7-liter Vortec I-5 engine that creates 242 horsepower (more Dodge
Dakota V6) and 242 pound-feet of torque, and an available 5.3-liter
Vortec V-8 engine that pumps out 300 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of
torque. Choose between a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic, both of
which feature over-drive. And yet, even with all this equipment, the
Colorado still sports the best standard fuel economy of any midsize crew
cab pickup: 25 MPG highway on I-4-equipped 2WD models, 23 MPG highway
on I-5-equipped 2WD models, and 20 MPG highway on V-8-equipped models,
which makes for better numbers than the Dodge Dakota
V8.
The Regular Cab (WT & Z85) includes
seating for up to 3, a 6-foot cargo box, the 2.9-liter Vortec I-4,
Bluetooth wireless technology, and the 5MT. The Extended Cab (all trims)
upgrades the seating, giving you space for up to 5, and also gives you a
6-foot cargo box, a sliding rear window, available 3.7-liter Vortec
I-5, and available Z85 suspension package. Meanwhile, the Crew Cab (Z85,

6, a full 4 doors, available 3.7-liter Vortec I-5, available 17-inch
chrome-clad wheels, available heated leather front bucket seats, and

it includes the Vortec 3.7L I-5, 17-inch wheels, a front stabilizer bar,
