    A blue 2021 Chevy Colorado ZR2 is facing left.

    Ever since its release, the Chevy Colorado has been an incredibly popular option for anyone looking for a midsize truck, with a perfect combination of power and functionality. The 2021 Chevy Colorado looks to continue that trend by keeping everything customers liked about the Colorado and making a few changes to ensure this midsize beauty remains fresh and exciting. Although not quite a full mid-cycle refresh, the 2021 Colorado has received some updates and improvements to make it better than ever, including a renewed focus on higher trims.

    The engines remain the same in the 2021 Chevy Colorado, which comes as no surprise considering just how powerful and impressive they already are. Perhaps the biggest update to the Colorado is a gorgeously redesigned and refreshed front end, including a bolder, more aggressive front fascia and other new details and touches. The front skid plates on the Colorado are also getting an overhaul to be more protective and are perfect for anyone looking to go off-road. For years, the off-road performance of the Colorado ZR2 has been legendary, and 2021 is another great year for anyone that wants a midsize, off-road pickup.

    It is also worth noting that the Base trim for the Colorado is going away with the 2021 model since it has proven to be a generally overlooked option. Instead, the 2021 Chevy Colorado will start with the Work Truck (WT) trim, which has typically been more popular and is a great place to jump in with this pickup. The other popular trims for the Colorado, such as the Z71 and the ZR2, will remain, so you can get just the right combination of features and options for what you need. Come visit us at Raceway Chevy today and learn more about the 2021 Chevy Colorado and the rest of the modern Chevrolet lineup.

  • Performance

    The engine, as the heart of the vehicle, is incredibly important when looking at a truck, even in a midsize truck that might not have the level of power you find in a full-size pickup. There are three engines available on the 2021 Chevy Colorado, which means you can get exactly the level of power you need, without going overboard or falling short. Some other midsize trucks only have a single-engine offered, which can be okay, but too-often results in less power then you deserve in your truck.

    Available Engines

    The standard engine in the 2021 Chevy Colorado is a 2.5L I-4 gas engine that delivers up to 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque. This comes paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. There is also an available 3.6L V6 engine that offers up to 308 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque for improved overall performance. If you choose this engine, then it comes with an 8-speed automatic, which is quick and responsive, making the Colorado a lot of fun to drive.

    Finally, there is an available 2.8L Duramax I-4 Turbo-Diesel engine for the 2021 Chevy Colorado, which delivers up to 181 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque for fantastic towing performance. This also comes paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which is no surprise considering it is a diesel engine that offers excellent fuel economy. There are some trim restrictions on these engines, but you can still get the amount of power and performance you need on the Colorado.

  • Trim Options

    Although there might not be many huge changes coming to the 2021 Chevy Colorado, there are some change-ups to the trim options that you should be aware of. It is important to always look at the trims available on any vehicle you are interested in, even if you think you already know what you want. This gives you a great sense of how you can customize the truck you want and the sort of features you should be able to get.

    Changes for 2021

    Perhaps the biggest change to the trim levels on the 2021 Chevy Colorado is the removal of the Base trim. In the past, the Base was the starting trim level for the Colorado, setting its starting price and the barebones features you could get. Starting with the 2021 model, however, the WT trim is now the starting level for the Colorado, which means you can get better features with the jumping-off point on this model.

    Other than the Base trim, however, no other trims have been removed, so you can still customize the 2021 Chevy Colorado to offer exactly what you need. Beyond the WT trim, you can choose the LT trim to get excellent performance and perhaps the best combination of features. The two trims beyond that are designed to offer amazing off-road performance: starting with the Z71 for casual off-road use, along with the ZR2 that has a host of dedicated off-road features.

  • Interior

    The inside of the 2021 Chevy Colorado is better than ever before, with great features both standard and available. Some of these options will depend on which trim level you are looking at, of course, and the removal of the Base starting trim means you will get more offered from the get-go on the Colorado. At high trims, the interior features really shine and provide you with one of the finest midsize truck-driving experiences on the road from any manufacturer.

    Incredible Features Found In the 2021 Chevy Colorado

    Some particular interior details worth noting are updates to the LT trim for the 2021 Chevy Colorado. An auto-dimming rearview mirror is now standard on the LT trim, where in the past it was an available option with a manually adjustable rearview mirror standard. The LT trim is also getting an updated audio and entertainment system, with the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system and an 8-inch digital touchscreen now standard. This includes Bluetooth streaming functionality, voice command, and support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, all of which make the LT better than ever before.

  • Off-Road Performance

    One of the main reasons a lot of people really like the Chevy Colorado is for its off-road performance. A midsize truck is a fantastic choice if you want a pickup that you can take off-road and really enjoy while hitting the trail. With the great available towing and payload capacity of the Colorado, it is the perfect truck for doing some off-roading, taking your boat to the shore for the weekend, and for getting work done throughout the week. There are two trims for the 2021 Chevy Colorado that are great for going off-road, depending on just how serious you are about challenging some demanding trails.

    Optimum Performance With the Z71 Trim

    The Z71 trim is the first of the two off-road options and has a lot of great off-road features, especially if you are pretty casual about your off-road demands. You get the 3.6L V6 engine standard in the Z71 trim, and it features 17-inch wheels with 17-inch all-terrain tires. The Z71 has an automatic locking rear differential to help improve its traction in rough terrain, black recovery hooks, an off-road suspension, and other great features. One thing to note is that the Z71 is available as either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.

    Even More Power With the ZR2 Trim

    If you are serious about going off-road, then consider the ZR2 trim, which takes off-road performance even further than the Z71. The ZR2 trim includes the 3.6L V6 engine, with the 2.8L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine available, and it comes with four-wheel drive standard. You get a transfer case shield and increased ground clearance with the ZR2, along with a Multimatic DSSV damping system and off-road suspension to provide you with a smooth experience on rough terrain and keep you in control when going off-road. Improved skid plates on the 2021 Chevy Colorado provide more protection for the underside of your vehicle than previous years, and all of this comes together beautifully to give you a powerful, responsive, and incredibly fun pickup for hitting the trail.
