Detailed Overview of 2025 Chevrolet Colorado Trim Levels

Chevrolet offers the 2025 Colorado in five trims.

Chevrolet Colorado WT

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado Work Truck (WT) is designed for utility and practicality, making it ideal if you’re seeking a dependable, no-frills pickup. Its standard 2.7-liter TurboMax engine delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. The interior is straightforward, with durable vinyl upholstery and an 11.3-inch center touch screen with Google built-in, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Rugged 17-inch Ultra Silver Metallic wheels with all-season tires and a black grille give it a work-ready aesthetic. The affordable yet functional WT is perfect if you’re a contractor or fleet buyer or need a capable, efficient truck for everyday tasks.

Chevrolet Colorado LT

The LT trim balances utility with enhanced comfort and technology. It offers several upgrades over the WT, including a more refined interior featuring premium cloth seating, an EZ Lift-and-Lower tailgate with built-in StowFlex storage, and GMC’s Remote Start with Keyless Open & Start. Striking 17-inch Argent Metallic wheels and body-colored exterior accents give the LT a polished look.

Chevrolet Colorado Trail Boss

The Colorado Trail Boss offers superior off-road capabilities with features such as 18-inch wheels with 32-inch all-terrain tires, a 2-inch factory-installed lift, and a two-speed auto transfer case. Four selectable drive modes and an off-road performance display expand functionality. Inside, it retains the LT’s tech features but adds unique Trail Boss badging and durable materials designed for outdoor adventures.

Chevrolet Colorado Z71

The Colorado Z71 combines off-road prowess with premium features for a well-rounded package. LED headlamps, taillamps, and fog lamps offer increased visibility. It boasts a stylish Jet Black interior with Adrenaline Red accents, 20″ High Gloss Black aluminum wheels and additional driver-assist features, such as Outside heated power-adjustable mirrors and a Rear Seat Reminder.

Chevrolet Colorado ZR2

The ZR2 is the ultimate off-road beast. Equipped with Multimatic Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve dampers, a 3-inch factory-installed lift, and high-performance suspension, it’s built to conquer the most challenging terrains. It features aggressive styling with a unique grille, wider stance, and 33-inch mud-terrain tires. Interior luxuries include leather seating. It also offers five selectable drive modes and an off-road performance display.

Key Considerations for Buyers

There are several key considerations when choosing your 2025 Chevrolet Colorado trim.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

All 2025 Colorado models feature GM’s 2.7-liter turbocharged high-output gasoline I-4 engine with 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, ideal for demanding off-road scenarios. Chevrolet pairs this with an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth power delivery. The WT and LT are available with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive (4WD), while the Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 come standard with 4WD.

Towing and Payload Capacities

The 2025 Colorado impresses with its towing and payload capabilities, offering capacities among the best in its class. When properly equipped, it’s rated to tow up to 7,700 pounds and carry a payload of up to 1,685 pounds.

Fuel Economy

Fuel-efficiency ratings for the Chevrolet Colorado vary depending on the configuration. While the EPA has yet to release official figures for the 2025 model, you can expect rear-wheel drive models to earn estimates of 20 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway and 4WD variants to get 18 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. Based on 2024 ratings, the new ZR2 will achieve 17 mpg in the city and on the highway.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo Space: A Comparative Look

Interior quality and cargo space improve as you move up the Colorado lineup.  Lower trims like the WT and LT focus on durability, offering straightforward materials ideal for work-focused use, while introducing intuitive layouts for ease of use. As you ascend the lineup, enhancements such as premium upholstery and detailed accents create a more upscale ambiance in the Trail Boss and Z71 trims. The ZR2 takes interior refinement further, incorporating advanced off-road displays and luxury features like heated seating. All trims feature versatile storage options, but higher trims focus more on passenger comfort and style.

Infotainment and Connectivity Features Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado’s infotainment system is a highlight, featuring an 11.3-inch diagonal center touch screen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Google built-in compatibility. An 11-inch digital driver information center is also standard. Select models offer enhanced wireless phone charging, navigation, and other premium features. If you’re a music lover, you’ll appreciate the premium Bose audio system available on higher trims.

Safety Features and Driver-Assistance Technologies: A Deep Dive

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the 2025 Colorado lineup. It includes forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, a following distance indicator, lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning, and IntelliBeam auto high beams. The Z71 and ZR2 trims expand these offerings with HD Surround Vision, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert, enhancing driver confidence in complex driving conditions, while the Trail Boss enhances off-road safety with hill-descent control.
