New Chevy Colorado vs. the competition
The 2025 Chevy Colorado vs. the Competition: Precision, Power, and Modern Mastery
The midsize truck segment is a battleground of brawn and brains, but the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado redefines the fight with a singular focus: the advanced 2.7L TurboPlus four-cylinder engine. This powerhouse, available in three tuned outputs, outmuscles rivals like the GMC Canyon, Honda Ridgeline, and Toyota Tacoma with a blend of torque-rich performance and cutting-edge engineering. Paired with bold design and class-leading tech, the Colorado isn't just competing-it's commanding. Here's how Chevy's latest iteration dominates the landscape.
Chevy Colorado vs. GMC Canyon: Shared DNA, Divergent Ambitions
While both trucks share GM's T1 platform, the 2025 Colorado prioritizes versatility over luxury. The Canyon's Denali trim indulges with massaging seats and a 12-inch digital cluster, but the Colorado counters with the Trail Boss-a factory-lifted off-roader boasting a 2-inch suspension lift, 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, and steel skid plates. Both utilize the 2.7L TurboPlus engine, but the Colorado's standard 237 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque (310 horsepower/390 pound-feet in High-Output trim) eclipse the Canyon's base 200 horsepower/260 pound-feet. For rugged capability without premium pricing, the Colorado's Trail Boss starts at $36,995-$6,000 less than the Canyon AT4X.
Chevy Colorado vs. Honda Ridgeline: Unibody Utility Meets Body-on-Frame Grit
The Ridgeline's unibody design excels in suburban comfort, offering a smooth ride through Parker, AZ, and an innovative in-bed trunk. Yet its 5,000-pound towing cap and lack of low-range gearing reveal its limits. The Colorado's body-on-frame architecture supports up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped (trailer brake controller, tow hitch receiver) and features an available Multi-Flex Tailgate with six positions, including a step function for loading ATVs or lumber. The Ridgeline's 280-horsepower V6 can't match the Colorado High-Output's 310 horsepower, especially under load-Chevy's turbocharged torque curve (peak 390 pound-feet at 3,000 RPM) ensures confident highway merges and hill climbs around Blythe.
Chevy Colorado vs. Toyota Tacoma: Torque Triumphs Over Tradition
Toyota's Tacoma hybrid (326 horsepower) impresses on paper, but its 317 pound-feet of torque pales against the Colorado High-Output's 390 pound-feet of torque. This deficit manifests in real-world towing: the Tacoma's 6,500-pound max strains under heavy loads, while the Colorado maintains composure when towing around Lake Havasu City. Both trucks offer crawl modes, but the Colorado ZR2 adds front and rear electronic lockers, Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers, and underbody cameras-features the Tacoma TRD Pro reserves for higher trims. Inside, the Colorado's 11-inch touchscreen with Google Built-In and wireless Android Auto surpasses Toyota's 8-inch display, offering voice-command navigation and real-time traffic updates.
Design: Rugged Refinement, Inside and Out
Exterior: Aggressive Functionality
The Colorado's chiseled profile combines aerodynamics with intimidation. A broad grille flanked by C-shaped LED headlights projects dominance, while available LED bed lighting and a power-retractable assist step enhance utility. The ZR2 trim amplifies this with a 3-inch wider track, forged aluminum skid plates, and signature red recovery hooks.
Interior: Tech-Forward Practicality
Soft-touch surfaces and available leather-appointed seats balance workhorse grit with modern comfort. The centerpiece-an 11-inch infotainment screen-floats above a tactile console with wireless charging and USB-C ports. An available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot keeps devices connected, even in remote job sites.
