10 reasons why Chevy Colorado is the 4x4 you should buy?

It is more fun with four wheels.



Chevy Colorado

I had a meeting with a contractor last time.  He is a jv partner to a real estate project and was seeking my assistance, and owns a river quarry in Calabarzon.   When asked about his pick up truck, he said he just bought a Chevy Colorado 4x4.

He says that it has 500 nm of torque and about 200 hp, six speed transmission and dial controlled 4x4.  That is great!  I was boasting of the D max, a relative of Colorado.  It has VGT turbo and intercooler for level torque and sustained power.

The Colorado comes in two variants of Duramax engine:  the 2.5 liter with 163 hp and little lower torque:   380 nm.

The 4x4 version has the 2.8 engine that deliver 200 hp and 500 nm of torque that comes with VGT. (This matches the output of Ford Wildtrak)  I hope the Chevy Colorado sales take off.  For those who want power and performance, Chevy Colorado is the 4x4 pick up to acquire.
