The new Colorado builds on its predecessor's solid reputation.

for the midsize class with its mechanical twin, the GMC Canyon. The unassuming Chevy chases the Toyota Tacoma for the top spot on the sales chart, and isn't as interesting as Jeep's Gladiator or refined as Honda's car-based Ridgeline. It's just kind of... there. The all-new third-generation Colorado arriving for the 2023 model year, actually tries to stand out while keeping the old truck's essential excellence intact.the company marketed it as an all-new pickup.

All 2023 Colorado pickups also come standard with Chevy Safety Assist, the safety suite with forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, automatic front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, following distance indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high-beam assist.

Since the 2.7-liter's introduction in the Silverado in 2019, Chevrolet says more than 300,000 of the engines have been put into service. This newest generation improves upon the original design with a forged steel crankshaft, forged main bearing caps, tri-metal rod bearings, a stronger aluminum block with nodular iron cylinder sleeves, and newly designed cast aluminum pistons that feature an iron ring carrier and PVD-coater iron top ring.

The only real indication from the driver's seat that the flashed engine was producing 40 additional lb-ft of twist was a greater propensity for the rear tires to spin while leaving a stop with gusto. While we're confident that the bonus torque would aid in towing and hauling, at least the upgrade is cheap at $395; seems worth it just for the bragging rights alone.When it comes to highway ride quality, the new Colorado is about as good as one would expect from a body-on-frame pickup.
