Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2010 Chevrolet Colorado, available at Jerry’s Chevrolet, your Fort Worth Chevy dealer, is a compact pickup available with two-or four-wheel drive in three body-style configurations: regular cab, extended cab (with short reverse-opening doors) or crew cab (with four regular forward-swinging doors). Crew cabs come with a 5-foot cargo box, while other Colorado models feature a 6-foot bed.

There are three primary trim levels to choose from on regular- and extended-cab models — the base Work Truck, midlevel LS and top-of-the-line LT. The crew cab is offered in LT trim only. Inside, base vehicles offer air-conditioning and an AM/FM stereo. The LS displays upgraded seating and trim and the opportunity to add more optional features.

The LT trim is offered in three increasingly well-equipped styles (extended cab and crew cab only): 1LT, 2LT and 3LT. Depending on your selection, you’ll have features like an in-dash CD changer, satellite radio, a larger five-cylinder engine, full power accessories and remote key-less entry. A new value package (VL) combines popular options like the five-cylinder engine, full power accessories and an automatic transmission on the crew cab.

Three suspension packages are offered to tailor ride and handling to specific needs. They include the standard Z85, a Z71 off-road package and the new ZQ8 sport suspension with standard 18-inch wheels. 2010 Chevy Colorado Z71 gives you true off road capability, which you’ll appreciate while driving in Dallas, TX.

Powertrains and Performance

Both the four- and five-cylinder engines carry over for the 2010 Chevy Colorado, although a 5.3-liter V8 is now available in extended-cab and crew-cab models. The standard 2.9-liter four-cylinder makes 185 hp and 190 pound-feet of torque, and an optional 3.7-liter inline-5 produces 242 hp and 242 lb-ft of torque.

The 5.3-liter V8 makes 300 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on most four-cylinder Colorados, with a four-speed automatic optional. Four-wheel-drive models feature a two-speed InstaTrac transfer case with push-button controls and an optional locking rear differential.

Safety

The 2010 Chevrolet Colorado, available at our Fort Worth Chevrolet dealership, features a new braking system with standard antilock brakes. Traction control is also standard, as is the OnStar emergency communications system. Head-protecting side curtain airbags are optional.

In government frontal-impact crash tests, the Chevrolet Colorado crew cab earned an outstanding five stars for the protection of the driver and front passenger. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset crash testing, the Colorado earns either a highest-possible rating.

Interior Design and Special Features

The layout of controls and gauges present an uncomplicated and straightforward design. There’s lots of room up front.  A nice feature is a dual-position tailgate that can be secured when partially open to better support building materials resting on top of the wheel wells.
