2010 Chevrolet Colorado

The 2010 Chevrolet Colorado is the next step in Chevrolet’s long history of smaller trucks. A trend that started back in the 1970′s, Chevrolet began producing this line of truck, formerly known as the LUV, to meet consumer demands from foreign companies that were already importing a newer smaller truck. Chevrolet’s answer to bring a smaller truck built right at home was a success which later evolved into the S10. Today, Chevrolet is continuing this line of small trucks with the 2010 Colorado.

From what we have gathered from past trends and the 2009 Chevrolet model, this year will utilize a 5.3 liter V8 engine that delivers 300 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. This is included in the pre-existing ZQ8 sports package capable of doing 0-60 in less than 7 seconds and can pull 6000lbs. Not bad for a “smaller” truck. Those not looking for that kind of power will more than likely see the 3.7 or 2.9 liter engine in their vehicle. Each various engine size still makes great mileage for a truck, at over 23 MPG.

There will likely be slight cosmetic and mechanical changes, but as we mentioned earlier in the article, these are conclusions drawn from research and only the release of information from Chevrolet will guarantee what we will see in next year’s truck. Though it is very likely that these figures will be correct, I am sure we are excited to see what Chevrolet has in store for next year’s new Colorado.
