2010 Chevrolet Colorado

For 2010, the Chevrolet Colorado sees a shuffling of trim levels and gains head curtain airbags as standard across the board.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2010 Chevrolet Colorado is a compact pickup available with two- or four-wheel drive in three body styles: regular cab, extended cab (with short reverse-opening doors) and crew cab (with four regular forward-swinging doors). Crew cabs come with a 5-foot cargo box, while other Colorados feature a 6-foot bed.

The regular cab can be had in Work Truck and LT1 trims. The crew cab also offers the option of heated leather seats with full power adjustments.

The 5.3-liter V8 (only offered on extended-cab and crew cab models) makes 300 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. Properly equipped, a V8-powered Colorado can tow up to 6,000 pounds.

Safety
The 2010 Chevy Colorado comes standard with the OnStar emergency communications system, antilock brakes, stability control, traction control and side curtain airbags.
In government frontal-impact crash tests, the Chevrolet Colorado crew cab earned a perfect five stars for the protection of the driver and front passenger. There's lots of room up front, though rear legroom is tight in both extended-cab and crew cab models.

Driving Impressions
The 2010 Chevrolet Colorado's inline four- and five-cylinder engines are reasonably smooth, though acceleration and hauling performance are lackluster compared to those offered by the larger V6s of competitors. Chevy's small truck is relatively quiet around town, though wind and road noise increase noticeably at highway speeds.
