A quality midsize truck can deliver at once the utility of a pickup bed, dimensions ideal for driving and parking on city streets, exceptional towing and payload figures, and solid fuel economy figures. When it comes to a reputable midsize truck that's been impressing drivers for decades, it doesn't get much better than the Colorado. The 2025 Chevy Colorado is now on the market, and we have this terrific midsize pickup at McCluskey Chevrolet, so come take a test drive!
Whether you're ready to upgrade to the newest model or you're curious about exploring the Colorado for the first time, visit us. We'd love to show you all of the great features of this midsize pickup and take you for a drive in it so you can see just how easy it handles and how powerful it can be. First, we'd like to give you a preview of all that this truck has to offer—so let's get to know the 2025 Chevy Colorado!
Starting at
The Colorado might be a midsize truck, but there's nothing moderate about its performance capabilities. In fact, with its standard 2.7L TurboMax I-4 engine, the Colorado can tow an impressive 7,700 lbs while maintaining solid fuel economy figures. For reference, the Silverado 1500 (the next step up in terms of size for Chevy trucks) has a starting towing figure of 9,500 lbs. So the 2025 Colorado has towing figures nearing those of the full-size Silverado 1500 while keeping you in the easy-to-drive and fuel-efficient midsize space! With 7,700 lbs of towing power, you should be able to tow the tools and toys that move your life forward, from small trailers and plows to boats and campers.
Wherever you work, live, and play, the Colorado is ready to command the roads, thanks to five available drive modes. Do you want to ditch the pavement for some adventure? Off-Road mode boosts traction on loose terrain like gravel, grass, and mud. Meanwhile, Terrain mode has you covered in low-speed crawling and climbing situations, so go ahead and explore those boulders! Baja mode (exclusive to the ZR2 trim) can improve traction when exploring sandy terrain. If you do take advantage of those towing figures, activate the Tow/Haul mode for optimized performance when transporting heavy loads. Normal mode is best for daily driving, delivering a comfortable ride along with maximized fuel economy figures.
Let's talk safety, too, because the 2025 Colorado is loaded with driver assist features. Each 2025 Colorado comes standard with the Chevy Safety Assist suite, whose six driver assist features can help you detect and avoid potential collisions. This suite includes a forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking, which together notify you of a potential head-on crash and take over braking to help you avoid it.
Front pedestrian braking services the same function but to prevent crashes with pedestrians. Lane keep assist with lane departure warning will inform you if you're drifting from your lane, and gently take over steering to guide you back into it. A following distance indicator will show you when you're following the vehicle in front of you too closely. Finally, IntelliBeam auto high beams automatically turn on in low light settings and back off when necessary. Wherever you drive, you'll feel more confident with these great driver assist features in place.
As a truck driver, you know that you ask a lot of your pickup. You put it to work, towing and hauling your equipment, tools, trailers, etcetera across town, job sites, and highways. So utility features are probably a priority to you, and you'll be impressed with the 2025 Colorado's. Let's start with the 17 available tie-downs, giving you tons of ways to secure things like planks of wood, dirt bikes, furniture, and more. Plus, with a payload capacity of 1,684 lbs, the 2025 Colorado is more than ready to lug hefty goods around.
When it comes time to access your bed and take care of tasks back there, you'll like the highly versatile tailgate, loaded with work-ready features. One of these is the available built-in 120-volt power outlet, perfect for powering a variety of tools and appliances that keep your crew going, from saws and drills to coffee pots and microwaves. The tailgate has a handy mid-position tailgate capable of supporting 500 lbs. That mid-position tailgate is ideal for times you need to stash long and bulky items in the bed that don't fit in with the tailgate fully up, like dirt bikes or large building materials.
If you really want to maximize your tailgate use, add the available StowFlex tailgate. The StowFlex is a lockable storage compartment built into the tailgate. It's the ideal place for storing valuables you want to keep out of sight or even just items that don't fit in the cab. Plus, the StowFlex tailgate has a built-in drain so that you can treat it like a cooler: load it up with ice, snacks, and beverages, and drain it when you're done for easy cleanup. Whether you're looking for a truck for adventures, work days, family life, or all of the above, the 2025 Colorado has the utility features to keep your days moving forward.
Of course, we can't talk about all the possibilities the Colorado unlocks without talking about the ZR2 Bison, the aggressive off-road variant. Boasting 35-inch Mud Terrain tires, 12.2 inches of ground clearance, and steel skid plates, the ZR2 Bison is ready to explore nearly every type of terrain. Special dampers maintain a smooth ride on bumpy roads, absorbing shock and vibration, and an impressive breakover angle means this trim is ready to tackle steep hills with ease. From off-roading to towing and more, the 2025 Colorado has the utility and capability you need to dominate your days.
The 2025 Colorado is packed with features that can maximize your work days, including tech features to keep you connected on the go. First, there's the 11.3-inch touchscreen. Use its smartphone connectivity to control your smartphone apps, like your navigation and music apps, right on this touchscreen. Viewing and controlling your apps on this big screen is much more comfortable than looking down at a small phone screen—and it's safer, too. You'll easily see your turn-by-turn directions, playlist info, incoming caller info, and more. Look right beyond the steering wheel to find another large screen—the 11-inch digital driver information center—where you'll find important vehicle and journey stats like fuel economy, trip distance, and more.
Do you want to charge your phone on the go? If you spend all day in your truck, driving from job site to job site, you need a charged phone, so you'll enjoy the enhanced wireless charging pad available in the 2025 Colorado. It'll charge your devices fast so that you won't find yourself with a dead battery before an important outing.
If you spend a lot of time on rough terrain, you might like monitoring the ground you're covering better. The segment-first available underbody cameras are great for that, showing you exactly what you're rolling over; thus, if you have to go over a fallen branch or another large object, you'll clearly see how much clearance you have to avoid damage. Overall, the 2025 Colorado offers ten camera views, giving you a comprehensive look around your truck at all times.
