2007 chevrolet colorado review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. That's 10 horsepower and 5 more pound-feet than 2006. The optional five-cylinder engine has been enlarged from 3. 5 to 3. 7 liters for 2007, for 242 horsepower and 242 pound-feet, up about 20 over the 2006 figures. other improvements for 2007 include a smoother-shifting automatic transmission, a more powerful 125-amp alternator, a standard tire-pressure monitor, and brighter interior trim. chevy colorado was designed for comfort and favors roominess, ride comfort and fuel efficiency over traditional truck virtues such as payload and towing capacity. That's a strong selling point because mid-size trucks are often bought as alternatives to cars, and their owners want more hip room, leg room and head room. Most are willing to sacrifice bed length for cab room. we think the trade-offs have paid off. The chevrolet colorado rides smoothly and feels refined. Order the five-cylinder engine and it accelerates smartly. The crew cab features a roomy back seat that's surprisingly comfortable and not bolt-upright. Yet the colorado fits into tight parking spaces, something that can't be said of full-size pickups. Like all the trucks in this category, the colorado is substantially smaller and more maneuverable than full-size pickups such as the dodge ram or chevy silverado. These are important benefits because even those who frequently use pickups to perform genuine truck duties spend most of their time driving with an empty bed. but don't get us wrong: the colorado isn't a car with a bed. In fact, the colorado provides all the trucking capacity most owners will ever use. It has a six-foot bed with regular and extended cabs, and a five-foot bed on crew cabs. A properly equipped colorado is rated to tow 4,000 pounds, enough for transporting atvs, dirt bikes, personal watercraft, bass boats, and small camping trailers. Regular and extended cabs come with a six-foot bed. The z71 off-road suspension is also available with 2wd and 4wd. Also new for 2007, the 3. 7-liter, 242-hp inline-5 is optional 1,000) on those models and standard on crew cabs with zq8, z71, and/or 4wd. The automatic is now standard in all crew cabs and with some up-level trims. the base-trim model is a commercial-grade work truck (w/t), offered as a regular cab 2wd 13,910), extended cab 2wd 16,310), regular cab 4wd 17,310) and extended cab 4wd 19,510). Only the standard suspension is available. Air conditioning is standard, though, along with tilt steering, a tachometer, driver information center, am/fm stereo, cruise control and two 12-volt power outlets. Cloth seats 58) and carpeting 70) are available. the ls trim level makes cloth upholstery standard, adds some brightwork to the interior, features chrome instead of charcoal bumpers, and rides on 225/75r15 tires rather than the standard 205/75r15s. lt trim adds reclining seats with upgraded upholstery, metallic interior trim, more stereo speakers, color-keyed grille and side moldings, and aluminum wheels. To that the 2lt package adds bucket seats; power windows, mirrors and locks with remote keyless entry; deep-tinted glass; and a self-dimming rearview mirror. It also makes the five-cylinder engine and automatic transmission standard. Package 3lt includes all 2lt equipment plus additional upgrades like carpeted floor mats, a sliding rear cab window, and fog lamps. the z71 off-road suspension requires a minimum of lt trim, and adds an automatic-locking rear differential, p265/75r15 on/off-road tires, and a smoke gray grille and wheel flares. Ground clearance at the rear differential is 8. 4 inches. The zq8 rides lower than base models, with a slight forward rake, and comes with p235/50r18 tires on 18-by-8-inch aluminum wheels. A monochromatic paint scheme and fog lamps add visual distinction. colorado xtreme drops the zq8 suspension down another 1. 6 inches and mounts gas-charged shocks and stiffer anti-roll bars. A unique grille, tailgate spoiler, and side-sill extensions add exclusivity to xtreme's appearance, along with monochromatic paint schemes limited to red, black, white, blue, or yellow. power windows, locks and mirrors are optional 500) on lt; so are xm satellite radio 199), gen 6 onstar 695), a six-cd changer 395). A sunroof 695) is offered on crew cabs. A sun and sound package 795) for lt crew cabs bundles the sunroof with a six-disc in-dash cd changer. Crew cabs offer leather seating surfaces 1,495). Other options and accessories are available as well. safety features include dual-stage front airbags and front seatbelt pre-tensioners. Curtain-style side-impact airbags designed for head protection are optional 395) on all models. A tire pressure monitor, also standard on all models, is. walkaroundthe 2007 chevy colorado looks very much the same as it did in '06. There have been some changes on the paint chart, and ls and lt models now wear identifying badges. The popular 15-inch cast-alloy wheels are now offered in chrome as well as natural-look aluminum. colorado looks like a downsized and slightly picasso-ized rendition of the full-size silverado, beginning with its bold chrome horizontal-bar grille and multi-lens headlamps. On models so equipped, fog lamps are inset into the bumper. overall, the colorado has a clean, modern look. The fender bulges are angular and aggressive, more so than silverado's. The leading edge of the front fender flares isn't finished elegantly, however. Reach-through door handles allow a full handful of grip for easy opening, even with gloves. the crew cab looks well balanced despite the extra cab length. Cargo boxes are 6-foot, 1-inch on regular and extended cab models and 5-foot, 1-inch on crew cabs. A two-position locking tailgate, which opens to 55 degrees or to fully horizontal, provides more cargo utility. When the tailgate is partway down, the colorado can carry a 4-by-8 foot sheet of plywood flat, supported by the wheel wells and the rear edge of the tailgate. ride height varies by suspension grade and has a dramatic effect on the truck's appearance. The zq8 sport models look slammed with their lower ride height; although with 18-inch wheels for '07, their minimum ground clearance is just about an inch less than that of the standard 2wd colorado. The standard colorado has about 7. 4 inches of ground clearance with 2wd and 7. 7 inches with 4wd, varying slightly with cab style. The z71 off-road suspension raises the ground clearance to around 8. 8 inches, with 2wd or 4wd. all crew cab and extended cab models ride on a 126-inch wheelbase, while regular cab models ride on a 111-inch wheelbase. Overall length is 207 inches for all but regular cabs, which are 192 inches long. Overall height is about 65 inches for the standard z85 suspension, 68 inches with 4wd. chevy truck dealers offer a range of accessories, including a bed extender, hard and soft tonneau covers, tubular assist steps and splash guards. The center stack and hvac trim are now painted silver, and cloth has been added to the door insert padding. otherwise, however, colorado's interior is swathed in hard plastic that's not finger friendly but should prove to be durable, important in a working truck. Inside door releases feel solid and sturdy, but have the same hard feel. The center console has cup holders that look capable of handling a variety of drink containers.
