Chevy Colorado Performance

A favorite among general contractors, electricians, and other tradespeople from Lexington, the Colorado continues to pull ahead in the mid-size segment for its worksite-ready combination of urban maneuverability and lighter-duty towing and hauling prowess. Its turbocharged 310-horsepower, 2.7-liter, four-cylinder engine produces a sprightly 430 pound-feet of torque, enabling it to haul up to 1,710 pounds and tow up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped. Trailering features such as hitch guidance with hitch view, a towing camera with up to 10 available views, and a dedicated Tow/Haul mode make it easy to transport small travel trailers, light RVs, fishing boats, and weekend toys such as ATVs and jet skis, and you can manage your load using the In-Vehicle Trailering App.

Chevy Silverado 1500 Performance

Pikeville plumbers, landscapers, and agricultural workers prize the Silverado 1500 over other light-duty pickups for its class-competitive trailering and payload capacities and host of leading-edge towing technologies. Choose from among six engines, ranging from a TurboMax I4 and 5.3- and 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 to a Duramax I6. With horsepower ratings ranging from 305 to 420 and torque ratings ranging from 383 to 495 pound-feet, you can tow anywhere from 9,500 to 13,300 pounds and haul up to 2,280 pounds, depending on the engine. The truck builds upon its mid-size sibling with up to four additional camera views, trailer sway control and side blind-zone alert to help protect your quarry, and available Super Cruise technology for convenient hands-free driving on compatible roads.

Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Performance

The workhorse of choice among carpenters, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and masons from Maysville, the Silverado 2500 HD towers over off-brand rivals for its commercial-grade capabilities. It offers a selection of two V8 engines - a gas-powered, 401-horsepower, 6.6-liter model and a turbocharged, 470-horsepower, 6.6-liter Duramax diesel alternative - with torque ratings of 464 and 975 pound-feet, respectively. Tow with a conventional hitch to shoulder large livestock trailers or motorboats up to 18,500 pounds; choose a fifth-wheel/gooseneck hitch to tow a heavy-equipment or multi-car setup weighing up to 22,420 pounds. You can load the bed with up to 4,081 pounds of appliances, building equipment, or landscaping materials. Keeping an eye on your load is a breeze, thanks to transparent trailer-view support and a jackknife alert.

FAQs

All three Chevy pickups belie the brand's legendary styling; however, each suggests having been built for different purposes. The Colorado, with its single cab option, shorter 213-inch length, narrower 66-inch width, and smaller bed, is made for agility on narrow trails outside Huntington, WV, and for easy parking in tight spaces. The half-ton Silverado 1500 has a wider stance, longer wheelbase, and larger bed options, making it an all-around hauler designed for both blazing trails and handling heavy loads on the job. The three-quarter-ton Silverado 2500 HD is massively larger, wider, and more heavy-duty than its smaller siblings, with a larger front fascia, higher ground clearance, and a hard-wearing chassis.

Chevy offers a wider variety of infotainment and tech to keep you connected on duty in West Liberty as you ascend its truck lineup. Options range from an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google, Apple, and Android compatibility on the Colorado to 13.4-inch variants on the Silverado 1500 and 2500 HD. The Silverado 1500 adds a 15-inch head-up display (HUD) for reviewing projected key metrics, and the Silverado 2500 HD adds an optional 7-inch touchscreen and an easy-to-read digital rearview mirror.

The Colorado, Silverado 1500, and Silverado 2500 HD share similar cabin designs and layouts, but they differ significantly as you graduate trim levels and models. Options depend on whether you're after a no-frills work truck built for maximum durability on the job in Mt. Sterling, or a luxury cruiser with the premium appointments that define a project manager's mobile office. Typically, lower trims across the trio offer plush cloth or stronger vinyl or Evotex upholstery. At the same time, midrange and top-tier levels offer a choice between perforated and premium full-leather accommodations.
