2023 – 2024 Truck 2023 and 2024 Pickup Truck Models: In-depth reviews and ratings about new and future pickup trucks.
The new 2023 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab is a hard-working midsize pickup truck that rivals against the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, and Ford Ranger. As you probably know, this truck is one of the most popular in the midsize segment thanks to its versatility and excellent towing capability. On top of that, the manufacturer also offers the rock-crawling ZR2 trim, which is made for hardcore lovers.
For 2023, the Colorado is due for some significant changes. First and foremost, the new truck will keep its overall shape and size, but it will look more modern than its predecessor. As a crew cab variant, the buyers will get most of it, thanks to a roomy cabin. One of the many strong suits of this model is variety under the hood. There are three different engines available, and all of them are very potent.
2023 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab Design
The 2023 Chevrolet Colorado comes standard as an extended cab with a long box, while you can get a crew cab model with either a short or a long box. In terms of design, both models are the same, featuring attractive and robust styling. However, the design can be changed drastically depending on how it’s configured.
There are several available appearance packages including the dark Midnight Edition, a Chrome Appearance Package and a Redline special edition that is available on the LT trim. On top of that, you can also get a new Trailboss Package available for LT and Z71, and much more.
Interior
Inside, the 2023 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab offers a very comfy and roomy cabin. This version can accommodate five passengers. Like other variants, the interior has a pretty simple design. The front seats are supportive and comfortable for long-distance cruising.
The standard extended cab offers cramped back-seat space, but it has better cargo volume that the crew cab provides. The standard features list is longer than we thought, and it includes infotainment 7-inch color touchscreen with a backup camera, Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay.
2023 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab Engine Specs
Under the hood, there are three different engines available. The entry-level 2023 Chevrolet Colorado uses an inline-4 producing 200 hp. Upgrading to the V6, you’ll get a significant increase in power to 308 horses with slight fuel economy penalty. The last one is the most favorite Duramax turbodiesel with an outstanding torque rating of 186 horses and 369 lb-ft.
The max tow of this truck when properly equipped is for the base 4-cylinder up to 3,500 lbs, while the V6 doubles that to 7,000 lbs, and the Duramax diesel 7,700 lbs of capability. The base engine and the turbodiesel are linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 comes with an 8-speed automatic. The Colorado also has standard rear-wheel drive and optional 4-wheel drive.

The most favorite and beastly ZR2 begins at $42,600. In addition, pricing varies depending on the cab/box configuration, engine, and various options.
Compared to other models in the class, the Chevrolet Colorado is in line with the rivals such as the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma. All mentioned models above will be available to purchase later this year, most likely in fall.
