The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado leads the midsize truck segment with 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque-outpacing the Ford Ranger's 270 horsepower and the Toyota Tacoma's 317 lb-ft (non-hybrid). Colorado's maximum towing capacity is 7,700 lbs, significantly ahead of the Ranger's 3,500 lbs. The Colorado offers a 74-inch cargo bed, 8-speed automatic transmission, and standard 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. New for 2025, every Colorado trim now includes the robust turbocharged 2.7L engine, the eye-catching Midnight Edition, sliding rear windows, and rear defrosters-features that are optional or unavailable on competitor trims.
