Some of the Best Customization Options for the 2025 Colorado

So you’re one of the movers and shakers of The Queen City. Wherever power drills are drilling and cement mixers are mixing, you can usually be found. Maybe you’re a contractor or a construction worker; maybe you’re a handyman (but really, you know you’re so much more than that); whatever the case, you need a truck that is not only sized for life in the city but also has the practical perks and functions of this auto class. It sounds like you should be after a Chevy Colorado for sale in Cincinnati, and you’re in luck because we have this excellent midsize truck in stock.

One of the most popular features of the Colorado is its customizable nature. You can easily tweak and refine the Colorado until you’ve created your dream workhorse. Some of its upper trims come with certain special packages and features standard, but you don’t have to spring for the upper trims to create your ideal truck. The starting WT trim is able to enjoy all of the best options, too, so you can start with the basics and build from there. Below, we’ll cover our favorite customization options for Cincinnati’s industrious folks, like contractors and DIYers.

StowFlex Tailgate

The StowFlex tailgate is no ordinary tailgate, and it’s ready for your extraordinary jobs. There are a few features of this tailgate that we’d like to cover. First, it contains a lockable storage compartment that runs nearly the full width of the gate. This watertight compartment is the perfect place to stash any valuable items that you don’t want to be stolen at a job site or small, weather-sensitive items that you don’t want to be damaged in a downpour. When your cab is already full to the brim with odds and ends, and the regular bed is not a safe place for select items, this lockable storage area comes in handy.

Here’s another perk of this storage compartment: you can use it as a cooler. You can load it up with ice and keep your beverages cool and fresh there. So you can always have a thirst-quenching, cold drink ready to go at the job site (or a Bengals tailgating party). When you’re done for the day, this compartment has a handy drain, so you can easily release the excess water and ice for easy cleanup.

Do you have extra-long items you don’t want sliding out of the bed, like wood planks or poles? You can set the StowFlex tailgate to a 45-degree angle to keep long items in place. The tailgate is rated to support up to 500 lbs, too, so it’s more than ready to help you transport some serious cargo. The StowFlex tailgate is available on the WT trim and comes standard on all others for the 2025 model year.

EZ Lift/Lower Tailgate

The functional features of the rear don’t end with the StowFlex tailgate. There’s also the available EZ Lift/Lower tailgate. It goes up and down with minimal effort, thanks to an internal torsion bar. If you’re someone who really takes advantage of the tailgate and is always back there accessing something or working on something, then wear and tear is a real risk; you don’t want your tailgate slamming each time you drop it open. You also don’t want to have to exert tons of effort to open it, so this EZ Lift tailgate can improve the tailgate’s longevity and give your arms a break.

In addition to its EZ Lift function, this tailgate can also lock and unlock using the same key you use for your vehicle doors. So, with an added cover, it can provide complete protection to the contents of your pickup bed; also, you don’t need to take the extra step of manually locking it each time you walk away. This feature is available on the WT trim and standard on all others.

Advanced Trailering Package

Whether you have a boat day planned on the Ohio River or need to transport large equipment to a job site in Cincinnati, you’ll appreciate this package. Its two-inch receiver hitch is perfect for towing most trailers, and it contains components that allow you to connect your trailer’s lights and brakes to your vehicle’s. That means that when you hit the brakes on your Colorado, your trailer will receive braking inputs, too; and when you turn on those lights at night or hit the brakes, vehicles behind you will see the lights go on in your trailer and understand what to expect.

This package also has the in-vehicle trailering app, which can help you create profiles for the vessels you transport the most. From there, you can control trailer accessories, set up maintenance reminders, and create pre-departure checklists to ensure a smooth day of towing. You can even run a series of tests to ensure your trailer’s lights are working. The Trailer Package is available on the WT and LT, standard on the Trail Boss and Z71, and unavailable for the ZR2.

Pro Essentials Package

Do you plan on spending a lot of time in and around your pickup bed? You might appreciate this package. It gets you a drop-in bedliner to protect your pickup bed from long-term wear and tear. That should boost resale value in the long run and let you put your best foot forward with clients who judge you by the looks of your truck. You’ll also get storage compartments, providing you with secure, organized places to stash tools, materials, and other small items.

This package also gets you custom molded splash guards to protect your vehicle from dirt, mud, rocks, and other debris your tires might kick up in rough environments. Plus, it gets you cargo area lamps to illuminate your bed, so if your work day extends past sunset or starts before sunrise, you can see what’s in your bed. This package is available on the WT and LT only; you won’t find it for the three off-road trims.
