The 2008 Chevrolet Colorado carries forward with no major changes. This compact pickup truck shares its basic design with the GMC Canyon and Isuzu i-290/i-370. Regular and extended cab body styles are offered in Work, LS, and LT trims. A 4-door LT Crew Cab is also available. Regulars and extendeds have a 6-foot cargo bed. Crew Cabs have a 5-foot bed. All Colorados offer rear-wheel drive or part-time 4-wheel drive that should not be left engaged on dry pavement but has a low-range gear for off-roading. Standard on most models is a 185-hp 2.9-liter 4-cylinder engine. Standard on 4WD Crew Cabs and optional on other Colorados is a 242-hp 3.7-liter 5-cylinder engine. Four-cylinder models are available with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. Five-cylinder versions use the automatic only. Maximum towing capacity is 4000 lb. Available safety features include ABS, traction control (2WD models only), and curtain side airbags. An off-road suspension, sunroof, and leather upholstery are among the optional features.
