Chevy Colorado Parts and Chevy Colorado Accessories

Chevy Colorado

The Chevrolet Colorado and its counterpart, the GMC Canyon, are General Motors' mid-size pickup trucks introduced in 2004 to replace the Chevrolet S-10 and GMC Sonoma.

The Chevrolet Colorado was jointly designed by GM's North American operations, GM's Brazil operations, and Isuzu, based on the GMT355, itself the basis for the GMT 345-based Hummer H3. The vehicles are manufactured and produced at a GM plant in Rayong, Thailand, and in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The Colorado/Canyon offer both manual and automatic transmissions. GM also offers either a rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive drivetrain with standard, extended, and four-door crew cab bodystyles.

Most models come with the 2,770 cc (2.77 L; 169 cu in) LK5 I4 engine as standard, but a more powerful 3,460 cc (3.46 L; 211 cu in) L52 Straight-5 comes with the Z71 package on 4-door versions and is optional on all others.

The 4-door Z71s also get the 4-speed automatic transmission standard. This package was later dropped in favor of LT2 and LT3.
