00:00 So what makes a truck great?
00:04 In a word, versatility.
00:06 See we Americans, we want our pickups to tow our toys, call for work, conquer any terrain,
00:11 and also serve as civilized daily drivers.
00:15 Because it does all of those things brilliantly, the Chevrolet Colorado is the 2024 Motor Trend
00:20 Truck of the Year.
00:26 Chevy's redesigned midsize pickup stood out in a competition heavy with cruisers from
00:31 Ford, GMC, Chevy, the Hummer EV and the Raptor R super trucks, and the Colorado's pricier
00:36 cousin, the GMC Canyon.
00:38 It earned this win on the strengths of a turbocharged 4-cylinder that makes up to 430 pound-feet
00:44 of torque, and a chassis that rides comfortably and confidently no matter the task at hand.
00:50 A thousand pounds on the bed, no sweat.
00:52 A 5,000 pound trailer off the back, easy.
00:57 No surprise, the Colorado ZR2 with its 33-inch tires, spool valve dampers, and locking differentials
01:03 was a beast off-road.
01:05 But our judges were blown away by how the humble Colorado LT scrambled over so many
01:12 of the same obstacles with just straight tires and no low range.
01:21 Two large crisp screens modernize the interior while the bed features practical touches like
01:26 steps molded into the bumper corners and a tailgate storage box that's great for tie
01:29 downs and gloves.
01:31 The Colorado also offers great value and great variety.
01:35 You can buy a loaded daily driver or a hardcore off-roader for roughly the same price as the
01:41 average new car.
01:43 So in a segment where no two buyers use their vehicles the same way, that versatility is
01:48 what makes the Chevrolet Colorado a winner.
