The 2022 Chevy Colorado is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a midsize pickup that can seamlessly transition from rough off-roading to picking up the kids from school and taking them out to dinner. Thanks to the awesome variety in trim levels, add-on packages, and engines for the new Chevrolet Colorado, you can customize your vehicle to suit all your needs and budgetary requirements. Read on to learn more about the 2022 Chevy.

What to Know About the Base Trim Level

The base trim level for the new Chevy Colorado is known as the WT (Work Truck). You have two cab options: crew or extended. Both options can seat six passengers, but the crew cab offers more leg room. The front bucket seats have a center console, and the back row can have dual seats with storage or a foldable bench seat. The standard infotainment system is a 7-inch color touchscreen with a backup camera, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay.

In terms of engines, you can choose between the base four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic transmission or the 3.6L V6, paired with an eight-speed automatic. If you’re looking for the best mileage, the 2.8L Duramax turbo diesel I4 is your man. Other standard features include two USB ports, power door locks, Teen Driver Mode, and a locking tailgate.

What’s New?

The most exciting feature to be introduced to the 2022 model is the Trail Boss Package available for LT and Z71 models with 4WD. The Trail Boss has everything you need to go offroading, including a lifted suspension, skid plates, Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac Mud-Terrain tires, and driver assist features geared towards conquering the most demanding terrains. 
All new models now have red tow hooks, and Chevy has eliminated the front air dam. There have also been some exterior styling updates that give the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado a more rugged look.

Ride, Handling, and Performance

The Chevy Colorado handles turns like a pro and doesn’t lean too much on bends, leaving you feeling balanced and in control. Even with an empty truck bed, the suspension absorbs bumps in the road, so you don’t have to. Suppose you’re planning on doing a lot of off-roading. In that case, the Z71 and ZR2 models have an array of special features, including an even more monstrous suspension system, locking front and rear differentials, and hill descent control.
