The Colorado can be purchased in a configuration for every need, from a bare-bones work truck to a potent off-road machine. The 2021 Colorado comes in extended-cab and crew-cab configurations, as well as two cargo box sizes. According to the Prescott Valley Chevrolet dealership, there are four trim levels to choose from: Work Truck (WT), LT, Z71 and ZR2.

The standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque, paired to a six-speed automatic gearbox. Most trim levels offer a choice of two available engines: a 3.6-liter V6 that makes 308 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a turbocharged 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel engine that puts out 181 hp and 369 lb-ft, teamed to a six-speed automatic. Most Colorado models get standard rear-wheel drive and available four-wheel drive.

The Colorado Work Truck trim comes as an Extended Cab with a long bed and Crew Cab configurations. Standard features include cloth upholstery and vinyl floor covering, air conditioning, a tilt-only steering wheel, power windows, a rearview camera and Teen Driver. Also standard is the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a stereo system with six speakers, and two USB ports.
