The GM Authority Take

The Colorado’s U.S. November sales performance enabled it to continue in second place in its segment, behind the Toyota Tacoma yet ahead of the Nissan Frontier as well as the Colorado’s platform mate, the GMC Canyon (see GMC Canyon sales).

What’s more, the 19 percent sales growth rate was higher than that of Tacoma’s 4 percent, albeit lower than the Frontier’s 38 percent – which we suspect was associated with fleet model dumping.

About Chevrolet Colorado

The Chevrolet Colorado is a mid-size pickup truck. It is currently Chevrolet’s smallest pickup truck in the U.S. and Canada, slotting under the full-size Chevrolet Silverado. In Mexico, the Colorado slots above the compact Chevrolet Montana but below the Silverado/Cheyenne (the name for some of Silverado’s trim levels in Mexico).

The current model was introduced in 2015 and represents the second generation of the Colorado nameplate. The model rides on the GMT-31XX platform shared with the GMC Canyon, as well as the international-market Chevrolet Colorado/S10 and Chevrolet Trailblazer.

The 2018 Chevy Colorado represents the fourth model year of the second-generation Colorado. The vehicle remains highly competitive in its segment, offering two gasoline engines and a diesel motor, which is a segment exclusive. The off-road-specific Colorado ZR2 was launched for the 2017 model year. However, the Colorado family continues to lack various features asked by many present and potential customers, such as a moonroof and a range-topping LTZ or High Country trim level.

The Chevrolet Colorado is built at the GM Wentzville factory in Missouri operated by GM USA.
