The Surging Strengths of the 2025 Chevy Colorado

Is it possible to make something that is already great even better? This question has perplexed businessmen for centuries—especially those with a successful product—and the folks at Chevrolet have figured it out, especially regarding its lineup of pickup trucks. If you are looking for a midsize pickup truck, you will be amazed at the changes in store for you with the 2025 Chevy Colorado. This model promises much and delivers even more while giving you an expanded array of standard features on every trim level. This helps set the Colorado apart from so many other midsize pickup trucks.

In its third generation since 2023, the Colorado is an ideal pickup truck for folks who are new to trucking. This is because the Colorado is more maneuverable and easier to handle than larger trucks like the Silverado 1500. It is also perfect for experienced drivers who want a truck for light-duty work. Off-road enthusiasts love the ZR2, Z71, and Trail Boss trims that are ready to hit the trail right off the lot—and the lot to go to for your 2025 Chevy Colorado is McCluskey Chevrolet. As an authorized Chevy dealership, we have the entire lineup of these great models, with the ability to get you the one you want with the features you need.

A Mighty Engine

Probably the biggest news about the 2025 Chevy Colorado is that you will no longer have to pay a premium to get the performance you want out of your truck. This is because Chevy has discontinued the 2.7-liter Turbo I-4 on the Colorado, so every trim will now feature the more powerful 2.7-liter TurboMax I-4. This comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission designed to get the best performance out of its engine.

This engine is turbocharged and intercooled, helping to boost performance without harming fuel economy. It has a dual overhead cam configuration with 16 valves for its four cylinders, and it uses direct fuel injection to deliver up to 310 hp at 5,600 RPM and 430 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 RPM.

Having such a great standard powertrain means that every driver who buys a 2025 Colorado will get an incredible combination of performance and capability from this truck. That is shown by the fact that the Colorado can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 7.1 seconds—just the type of acceleration you will need if you are using your truck to commute and need to merge onto a busy highway during rush hour.

Huge Capabilities

There is an old saying that some folks can punch above their weight. This is certainly the case with the 2025 Chevy Colorado when it comes to towing and hauling. Most midsize pickup trucks surrender capability to get better fuel economy or improved speed and acceleration. This is not the case with the Colorado, which will give you the kind of towing and hauling you would expect to find in a larger truck.

When it comes to towing, few trucks in the same class can match the Colorado’s capability, as it can tow up to 7,700 lbs. This will come in handy if you need to tow equipment for your job or want to use your truck for towing a recreational vehicle. You even get the Advanced Trailering Package standard on your Colorado if you opt for the Trail Boss, Z71, or ZR2 trim levels; this gives you extra camera views, including in the bed of your truck. It also features a hitch guidance system that will make it safer and easier to hitch a trailer to your Colorado.

The 2025 Colorado has a large and versatile payload bed that measures five feet, two inches, and it can carry up to 1,684 lbs of cargo in its 41.9 cu.ft. of bed space. In addition, Chevy offers a number of different available features that can make your truck’s payload bed more useful than ever. For example, if you plan to use your Colorado for work, you are going to appreciate having a mid-position on your truck’s tailgate that can support up to 500 lbs.

When you opt for the available 120-volt power outlet, you can turn the tailgate into a workbench for on-site jobs. You also get the EZ Lift tailgate on all trims from the LT and up; this will make opening and closing the tailgate easier. The StowFlex storage system that comes standard on all trims except the WT provides a way to stow your belongings inside your Colorado’s payload tailgate.

Trim Improvements

Chevy has shown its dedication by improving its vehicles with each successive model year. While so many other brands seem satisfied simply resting on their laurels, holding off on any improvements until the model’s next generation, Chevy is constantly making incremental changes to give you more in your vehicle. This is certainly true of the 2025 Colorado, which has shown new features becoming standard on each trim level.

Drivers who choose the entry-level WT or LT trim of the 2025 Colorado will appreciate a number of new comfort and convenience features. For example, the truck will now feature a standard sliding rear window with a rear defroster. This will make it easy to keep the window clear during inclement weather while giving passengers access to the rear payload bed.

The improvements can even be found on the top ZR2 trim. This one is built for off-roading with 33-inch mud-terrain tires and a three-inch factory-installed lift to give you improved ground clearance. The ZR2 now comes with a heated steering wheel that you are sure to appreciate on cold mornings, while the standard perforated leather seats give this trim a level of luxury rarely seen in midsize pickup trucks. There is also a standard wireless charging pad, so you can keep your phone charged even if you leave your cables at home. This feature is available as an optional feature on the LT, Trail Boss, and Z71 trims, too.

No matter which trim level you pick, your Colorado will have an advanced infotainment system—an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google Built-In—which allows you to access all of your favorite features no matter where you go. The large touchscreen makes accessing your favorite features on the system easier than ever. You can also connect your phones using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; this will let you make hands-free calls and texts while also streaming your favorite music.
