Every 2025 Chevrolet Colorado is now powered by a standard turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque-the most powerful engine in the midsize truck class. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this setup provides smooth, consistent power delivery whether you're commuting or hauling. Colorado's torque output exceeds both the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma, giving you commanding performance across all trims. Whether you choose the WT, Trail Boss, Z71, or ZR2, you get the same high-output engine as your foundation for capability and confidence on the road or trail. Call (715) 833-0444 to discuss which trim suits your needs best.
