The 2021 Chevy Colorado in the entry-level Work Truck (WT) trim level is offered with an appearance package called the Custom Special Edition Package. Many Chevy customers are probably unaware of this little-known package’s existence, so we decided to take a closer look at it and go over what kind of features it adds to the basic Colorado WT.
The Custom Special Edition Package carries RPO code WGV and is available on every Chevy Colorado body configuration, which includes the Extended Cab Long Bed, Crew Cab Short Bed and Crew Cab Long Bed. The package adds $1,135 to the price of the Colorado WT and includes the following equipment (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
- 18″ x 8.5″ Dark Argent Metallic cast aluminum wheels (RPO RCV)
- 265/60R18 all-season, blackwall tires (RPO QIA)
- Body-color rear bumper (RPO VT5)
- Body-color door handles (RPO D75)
- Body-color mirrors (RPO DL6)
- Driver-side spotter mirror (RPO 9B7)
This package gives the affordable Colorado WT a slightly more upscale look thanks to the body-color front bumper, door handles and mirrors as well as 18-inch cast aluminum wheels. Without this package applied, the Colorado WT looks more like, well, a work truck with its tough black plastic exterior trim and budget-minded 17-inch steel wheels. By ordering this package with the Colorado WT, customers can buy the most affordable trim level and upgrade it with an attractive appearance package that won’t break the bank.
Pricing for the Chevy Colorado starts at $26,395 for an Extended Cab, Long Bed model in the WT trim level with rear-wheel drive and the naturally aspirated 2.5L LCV four-cylinder engine. The WT trim level can also be equipped with the optionally available 3.6L LGX V6 engine and four-wheel drive for a price premium.

The last time they had a nice option on the base truck was the ZQ8 that could be added to any truck. It made a good starting point for a custom build.
Yep I agree on the ZQ8 comment !
The Colorado is a nice little truck. IMHO, the problem with it is it doesn’t see the discounts the Silverado does. By the time incentives are added, I could get a Silverado in the same trim with more power and room. For example, this starting price of just under 28000, I could get a Silverado custom with the 2.7 turbo, that’s rated to 9000 lbs towing, better off the line acceleration, more or less the same fuel economy and a softer ride and bigger bed. All because Chevy will knock off 4-6000 of the MSRP of the Silverado, and 2 off the Colorado if that.
Margins are much lower and scales are much smaller.
You buy a mid size because you want it.
FYI with careful shopping you can get more than $2k off.
Still no LED running lamps like my trusty 2017 Tacoma. Sad.
And yes my rear drum brakes and plastic bed are holding up just fine after 83k miles! And the trucks 100% paid off
Good for you, would you like a cookie 🍪
Give him a cookie sure he sure is not getting any of my KFC.
An old stale cookie full of holes because the chips disintegrated. With a little bit of icing to cancel out the stale.
Domps
Are those Actual Miles that you put on yourself, or is this a work truck that you force newer employees to drive?
Did the frame rot away yet?
That basically do nothing!
I wanted a 4cyl with a stick – but they discontinued it.
If all that complained they were gone had bought one they would still be here.
