The 2021 Chevy Colorado is a mid-size pickup with a lot of charm. It outshines the competition through several standout features that any driver will love. If you don’t believe us, let’s explore those features together to see if we can change your mind.
1. Teen Driver Safety Features
The Chevy Colorado has a feature that doesn’t exist in many competitors we’ve come across, making it a highly desirable and exclusive find. The Teen Driver System technology is designed for parents of new drivers who wish to monitor their teen’s driving behavior. First, the Chevy Colorado lets you set a maximum speed so you’re limiting how fast your teen can drive anywhere. After that, you can download an app to monitor what they’re doing.
Monitoring your teen’s driving habits is a fantastic way to gauge what they need to do to improve and drive more safely. Knowing that you’re watching their every move may also influence your teen driver to be safer by default. If you want to make the vehicle even safer for your teenager and you, add the optional lane departure warning and forward collision alert safety features to your chosen trim.
2. Off-Roading Models
The Chevy Colorado has a trim that’s perfect for those of you who want to hit the trails and have some fun on the rough terrain: the Chevy Colorado ZR2. The ZR2 comes with an array of features that make it the perfect truck to tackle any terrain. It has a heavy-duty suspension, four-wheel drive, and hill descent control. Traction-wise, the Chevy Colorado ZR2 has locking front and rear differentials. There’s also rocker protection and special shocks.
If you want a similar trim but without the shocks and rocker protection, consider the Chevy Colorado Z71. It has equal prowess on various terrains. It shares most of its features with the ZR2; it’s only those last two exclusive features that the Z71 lacks.
3. Easy Driving
Pickups aren’t the easiest vehicles to drive. They’re bulky and heavy-duty, even if they’re only mid-sized. However, the Chevy Colorado feels more like a large SUV. The suspension is smoother than average, the truck feels incredibly stable on all terrains, and it’s more maneuverable than competitors. If you live in a crowded town or frequently venture into the city, don’t worry. Your truck can handle the hectic streets and tight corners.
You’ll find far more responsiveness than you’d expect in the Chevy Colorado. This makes it an excellent first truck for someone who’s used to driving an SUV or other smaller vehicle. It’s an easy transition to make – other trucks create a more jarring transition from SUV to pickup that many drivers may find unpleasant.
