The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado midsize pickup truck enters the new year with a simplified engine lineup and upgraded standard features, based on the GM Fleet Order Book as first reported by Pickup Truck + SUV Talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Colorado was redesigned for 2023, but for the 2024 model year the mid-grade Turbo Plus tune has been removed from the lineup.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A 2.7-liter turbo-4 used in the base Silverado full-size pickup truck powers every Colorado, making 237 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque on WT and LT grades. It tows up to 3,500 pounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Turbo Plus tune made 310 hp and 391 lb-ft and cost an extra $1,200-$1,400 on 2023 models. It was standard on Z71 and Trail Boss models with a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds.<\/p>\n
In its place is the high-output Turbo Max that had been standard only on the range-topping Colorado ZR2 last year but was available for just $395 more on the Z71 4WD. It’s tuned to 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque, but it remains to be seen what the towing capacity will be for Trail Boss and Z71 models. Expect the 6,000-pound limit on the ZR2 to remain the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An 8-speed automatic transmission drives power to the rear wheels or all four wheels for an extra $3,300. The ZR2 Desert Boss package is no longer offered for 2024.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Additional changes across the 2024 Colorado lineup include a standard 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster, replacing the 8.0-inch display. Like the related but more upscale GMC Canyon, an 11.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Colorado also comes with a standard suite of driver-assistance systems including\u00a0automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, active lane control, and automatic high beams. But cruise control is still an option on Work Trucks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
New for 2024 is the addition of the Colorado ZR2 Bison\u00a0with 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels wrapped in 33-inch Goodyear Territory Mud Terrain tires, 12.2 inches of ground clearance over the ZR2’s 10.7 inches, and upgraded shocks, skid plates, and suspension tuning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chevy has not released prices on the 2024 Colorado or responded yet to confirm the changes above.\u00a0<\/p>\n
