Colorado Crew Cab 4x4 Z71 in Black Granite Metallic
| |
|
|
Chevy's midsize Colorado pickup enters 2009 with a host of performance enhancements, including a new, 5.3L V-8 engine
option and new brake system. These features, along with the return of the ZQ8 sport suspension and a new family of
stylish wheels, increase the Colorado's capability and refreshes its stylish appearance.
"2009 is a milestone year for Colorado, with a powertrain customers have asked us for and new features that bolster its
position as one of the segment's most comfortable and customer-focused trucks," said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general
manager.
Colorado's new 5.3L V-8 is available on extended cab and crew cab models. It pumps out 300 horsepower (224 kW), nearly
25-percent more than the Colorado's available 3.7L I-5 engine. It also delivers 320 lb.-ft. of torque (434 Nm) of robust
torque for an exceptional maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds (2,721 kg). Effortless highway driving also is an
attribute of the new V-8, enabling 0-60 mph performance of less than seven seconds.
A revised fuel control module helps most 2009 Colorado models equipped with the 2.9L and 3.7L engines achieve better
fuel economy than previous models. The greatest mileage improvement comes in 4WD models equipped with the 2.9L engine
and manual transmission, where the estimated highway rating increases to 25 mpg an increase of nearly 14 percent over
the '08 rating.
Colorado is available in regular cab, extended cab and crew cab configurations, as well as 2WD and 4WD. Colorado's
various body styles and powertrain combinations are available in WT, LS and LT trims. LS models come with a color-keyed
appearance for a sporty look. The popular Z71 Off Road package offers distinctive visual cues to augment its suspension
differentiation; it is available on 2WD and 4WD models. Returning later in the '09 model year is the ZQ8 sport
suspension, which is paired with the 5.3L V-8 and all-new 18-inch wheels.
Colorado can seat up to six while offering much higher levels of ride comfort, handling, quietness and interior space
than many other midsize trucks. Standard features include StabiliTrak electronic stability control system,
rack-and-pinion steering, XM Satellite Radio, intermittent wipers, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, cruise control
and folding outside mirrors.
