4 Favorite Features of the 2022 Chevy Colorado

If you’re in the market for a new truck with awesome features that will keep you updated and safe on the road, the 2022 Chevy Colorado is perfect for you. Here are four things we love about this impressive truck.

Options for Engines

The Chevy Colorado has 3 engines you can choose from, each coming with its own sets of advantages and disadvantages. The standard engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder gas engine that has 200 horsepower and 91 lb-ft of torque. You can upgrade to a 3.6L DOHC V6 gas engine that’ll increase that horsepower to 308 and the torque to 275 lb-ft.

If you prefer your trucks to run on diesel, some trim levels have an available Duramax 2.8L Turbo-Diesel engine. While this engine drops down to 181 horsepower, the torque continues to increase to 369 lb-ft, making this the engine you want when pulling power is more important than acceleration.

Impressive Towing Capacity

Your towing power is going to depend on which engine your Colorado has. The standard engine can tow up to 3,500 lbs. The V6 engine doubles that to an impressive 7,000 lbs while not sacrificing gas mileage. If you’re hauling something a little heavier, the Duramax engine caps at 7,700 lbs of towing power. All of these towing capacities are for comparison reasons and can depend on the specific vehicle.

Endless Entertainment Options

The Chevy Infotainment System connects directly to your phone, putting everything you could need directly at your fingertips. With the myChevrolet Mobile App, you can turn your phone into the command center for your Colorado and utilize features such as a vehicle locator and tire pressure monitors. In-vehicle apps can also be rearranged to suit your personal preferences and the available Wi-Fi hotspot makes sure you’re always connected.

Putting Safety First

Multiple airbags, rear vision cameras, and Stabilitrak with traction control are only a few of the incredible safety features that come standard on the Colorado. The reinforced, high-strength, steel frame safety cage is designed to protect passengers from injury in the case of a rollover or side accident.

There are extra safety features available such as a forward collision alert, lane departure warnings, and a rear camera mirror. Our favorite is the adaptive cruise control, which automatically maintains a driver-selected gap from the vehicle in front of you. This can be a huge benefit to anyone who’s on the road day in and day out because it allows the driver to pay closer attention to what’s happening on the road and less time worrying about keeping a consistent speed.
