The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado outperforms the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma with class-leading power and capability. Colorado delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque from its turbocharged 2.7-liter engine-outpacing the Ranger's 270 horsepower and exceeding the Tacoma's torque on non-hybrid trims. Colorado also leads in towing capacity at 7,700 lbs versus the Ranger's 3,500 lbs, and offers a longer 74-inch cargo bed. Every Colorado now comes standard with the high-output engine and eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring consistent power across all trims. Inside, Colorado stands out with a standard 11.3-inch touchscreen featuring Google built-in, Apple CarPlay, and Android AutoTM-features the competition reserves for higher trims or doesn't offer at all.
