So what makes a truck great?
00:04
In a word, versatility.
00:06
See we Americans, we want our pickups to tow our toys, call for work, conquer any terrain,
00:11
and also serve as civilized daily drivers.
00:15
Because it does all of those things brilliantly, the Chevrolet Colorado is the 2024 Motor Trend
00:20
Truck of the Year.
00:26
Chevy's redesigned midsize pickup stood out in a competition heavy with cruisers from
00:31
Ford, GMC, Chevy, the Hummer EV and the Raptor R super trucks, and the Colorado's pricier
00:36
cousin, the GMC Canyon.
00:38
It earned this win on the strengths of a turbocharged 4-cylinder that makes up to 430 pound-feet
00:44
of torque, and a chassis that rides comfortably and confidently no matter the task at hand.
00:50
A thousand pounds on the bed, no sweat.
00:52
A 5,000 pound trailer off the back, easy.
00:57
No surprise, the Colorado ZR2 with its 33-inch tires, spool valve dampers, and locking differentials
01:03
was a beast off-road.
01:05
But our judges were blown away by how the humble Colorado LT scrambled over so many
01:12
of the same obstacles with just straight tires and no low range.
01:21
Two large crisp screens modernize the interior while the bed features practical touches like
01:26
steps molded into the bumper corners and a tailgate storage box that's great for tie
01:29
downs and gloves.
01:31
The Colorado also offers great value and great variety.
01:35
You can buy a loaded daily driver or a hardcore off-roader for roughly the same price as the
01:41
average new car.
01:43
So in a segment where no two buyers use their vehicles the same way, that versatility is
01:48
what makes the Chevrolet Colorado a winner.
