Who says your daily driver has to be dull and restricting? Sure, you may need a vehicle that is safe, reliable, gets reasonable gas mileage, and can keep up with your weekend agenda. This must-have list may have motivated you to choose a truck the last time around, but that doesn’t mean that’s all your truck can be (or should be) capable of. With a 2022 Chevy Colorado, you can free your wild side and let your spirit animal out to play—without sacrificing your everyday commute and productivity needs.
Why Choose a 2022 Chevy Colorado?
As you may already know, trucks are great for many purposes—even beyond towing. With their larger, more spacious, and more comfortable interior cabins, trucks appeal to those who need ample passenger room for their family or friends. Trucks are also ideal for those looking to benefit from tough capabilities found only with a truck. The 2022 Chevy Colorado is a pickup that provides the perfect blend of performance and capabilities—for both practicality and recreational fun.
Customizing the 2022 Chevy Colorado is easier than ever. You can choose between two cabin sizes: an extended cab or the larger crew cab, which allow you to fit either four or five total passengers in the truck. As for bed sizes, you can choose from either the short bed with 41.3 cu.ft. of cargo space, or the long bed with 49.9 cu.ft. These measurements are competitive with rival brands.
With your choice between five different exterior colors, you can stand out from the crowd and turn heads as you drive by. If you choose to, you can also camouflage in the city or the woods.
More importantly, you’ll have three engine choices: the 2.5-L I-4, the 3.6-L V6, or the 2.8-L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-4—as well as four trim levels to choose from. Plus, Chevy allows you to customize your driving experience even more with additional packages to enhance your 2022 Colorado. You’ll have plenty of options to satisfy your need for style, size, and comfort as you make your daily drives on the pavement. Additionally, equipment packages can help you to satisfy the hunger residing within you for the freedom to explore any terrain. Here are the details you need to know.
The Introduction of the Chevy Colorado’s Wild Side
For a midsize truck, you wouldn’t think this daily commuter workhorse could take to the trail and outperform its competitors the way that it does. It’s estimated to get a combined 21 mpg to 23 mpg with rear-wheel drive equipped; or, get an estimated combined range between 19 mpg and 22 mpg with four-wheel drive—depending on the engine. Plus, the Colorado can tow between 3,500 and 7,700 lbs.
In 2019, Chevy released the Bison edition for the Colorado ZR2 trim. This specially designed, ultimate adventure truck took the industry by storm and was even named the first Overland Truck of the Year by Overland Journal for its impeccable performance and capabilities—on- and off-road.
The Colorado ZR2 Bison was the first collaboration between Chevy and American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), a premier manufacturer of off-road performance parts. It quickly became a success and has continued to be the choice for off-road enthusiasts in need of a vehicle capable of handling it all, including their daily commutes. Likely named after the bison logo for AEV, this Colorado variant also runs parallel with the representation of our national mammal, the bison. Unifying excellent off-road performance with daily drive features, the Bison edition also offers resilience on any terrain. It’s optimized for driving in any road condition, and is the perfect model for those who are ready to free their inner beasts and adventure off of paved roads.
