The 2025 Chevy Colorado introduces the third-gen pickup’s third model year, bringing with it a number of important updates and changes. Among these is deletion of the base-level L2R engine, as well as several new exterior paint options. What’s more, the Chevy Colorado LT will no longer be available as a standalone trim, and will instead become an option package.
Previously, the Chevy Colorado LT was offered as the second trim level in the Colorado trim level cadence, slotting in between the entry-level WT (Work Truck) and mid-range Trail Boss. Now, however, the 2025 Chevy Colorado changes that, with LT instead offered as an optional package for the WT trim.
Now dubbed the LT Appearance and Convenience Package (RPO code XTD), the package includes several features that correspond with the 2024 Chevy Colorado LT and LT Convenience Package II (RPO code PCV) feature list. Moving forward, the new LT Appearance and Convenience Package for the 2025 Chevy Colorado WT will include (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
- Keyless Open and Start (AVJ)
- Power driver window with express up/down (AXG)
- Carpeted floor mats (B34 and B35)
- Remote start (BTV)
- Front interior courtesy light with dual reading lights (C75)
- Dual-zone automatic climate control (CJ2)
- Auto-dimming inside rearview mirror (DD8)
- Illuminated visor vanity mirrors (DEG)
- Heated front seats (KA1)
- Tilt and telescoping steering column (N37)
- 17-inch aluminum wheels (Q5W)
- Rear USB Port (UBP)
- Cloth seats (H2Z)
Breaking it down, a 2025 Colorado with an LT badge will likely cost more than a base 2024-model-year LT. For reference, the 2024 Colorado LT’s Convenience Package II costs $2,450. Although GM has yet to release official pricing information, the new LT Appearance and Convenience Package is expected to cost roughly $4,850.
As covered previously, the 2025 Chevy Colorado will drop the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L2R gasoline engine, which was previously equipped as standard for the 2024 model year. As such, the 2025 Colorado will be available exclusively with the more-powerful turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
Other updates include a new exterior paint options list, with Snowdrift Metallic (paint code GAE), Reef Blue Metallic (paint code GAL), and Sunrise Orange (paint code GBF) joining the lineup, replacing Nitro Yellow Metallic (paint code GCP), Glacier Blue Metallic (paint code GLT), and Sand Dune Metallic (paint code GTL).
The Chevy Colorado rides on an updated variant of the GMT 31XX platform, while production will get under way at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri on December 2nd, five weeks later than was planned originally.

Hmmm… one of many questions I have then, does the ’25 WT have body-color bumpers but steel wheels? Confused at the moment, will need to consult the online order guide again to check standard features. I did notice the lack of info on the LT when I was over there yesterday, but thought it was just incomplete for now. Also seems odd that some colors are available on WT but not Trail Boss…
Great. After ditching most LS trims, now they’re going after LTs. Pretty soon all Chevys will be High Country/RS/Activ, or nothing. And priced themselves out of the market. Brilliant.
it has turned into, you buy a high priced model or keep walking.
Raising prices and taking out base low put engine. Also following fords foot steps with optional package
The LT costs $2400 more than the WT, but doesn’t come with everything the new $4850 package (which is an unofficial guess) will bring with it. It’ll cost less than equipping the current LT with the same items, why is that bad?
The LT needs better looking base wheels. The dull boring rental car grey finished ones on it currently look cheap
