RST
The Chevrolet Colorado RST is the first available special edition of the mid size pickup truck. This edition is available on the LT trim and offers special black badging and exterior trim. This gives the Colorado a more athletic and sportier interior, but that is not where it ends, the RST adds 20 inch low gloss black wheels making it even more ready to shine.
Trail Boss
The Trail Boss is one of the most iconic trims of the Colorado and its bigger brother the Silverado. Famous for offering entry level off-roading capabilities, and for its iconic rugged look. This special Colorado comes with skid plates, DuraTrac tires, and rock protection. The Trail Boss is best equipped with the midnight package as well to make it even more athletic and sporty looking.
Redline
The trim name gives it all away for the Colorado Redline. This unique trim features red and black accents to give it a sportier feel. The Redline adds mostly cosmetic exterior features and is available on the LT package on every body size but the two door. The red finish comes in mostly on the wheels as accents and the recovery hooks.
Custom
The Colorado Custom offers, well, a more custom experience. This is available on the Work Truck trim and allows the selection of its engine between the 4 cylinder that displaces 2.5 liters and the V6 that displaces 3.6 liters. This offers 18 inch Dark Argent Metallic wheels with body color side view mirrors and door handles. The Custom Colorado package gives you a more unique experience from the Work Truck.
Z71 Midnight
The Z71 Midnight offers plenty of style with all black badging and colors. This offers more of the Colorado’s comfort features and sport features as well. If you want a truck that feels comfortable in the dark and out in the desert, the Z71 Midnight offers you the best with style and capability but not breaking the bank as much as the ZR2 trims.
ZR2 Bison
AEV is the American Expedition Vehicle company and they specialize in building some of the best off-roading rigs in the market and they offer some of the best off-roading accessories for your rig. The ZR2 Bison is a collaboration between AEV and Chevrolet to make some of the best off-roading capabilities in the mid size pickup truck segment. It includes AEV bump skid plates, front winch provisions, and rear recovery points. It also includes AEV stamped rear and front bumpers, and special wheel flares which make the ZR2 Bison incredibly unique.
ZR2 Midnight and Dusk
What better dichotomy than Midnight and Dusk, both are times for some of the greatest adventures and no better truck to accompany you than the ZR2 Midnight or Dusk. These two trucks are brand new offerings from the Chevy brand that make for an incredibly unique truck with design cues that follow either the Midnight or Dusk monikers. The Dusk has a lighter and brighter exterior while the Midnight is ready for your midnight patrols.
