The Chevy Colorado has quickly become one of America's favorite mid-size pickups since its introduction two decades ago. The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado maintains that time-tested popularity with a balance of efficient power, expanded capabilities, and high-end features across five trim levels. Getting to Know the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado Trim Levels: Mid-Size Power WT The WT is the base trim in the Colorado line. Like all Colorado trims, it offers a choice of RWD or 4WD drivetrains and the efficient but powerful TurboMax engine paired with an 8-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. Together, they deliver 310 horsepower and 430 foot-pounds of hard-working torque. It also includes a standard Safety Package featuring rear cross-traffic braking, blind zone steering assist, and rear park assist. LT The LT maintains the same engine and transmission combination as the WT, but it offers a step up in standard features. Those features include an engine cover, an EZ Lift and Lower StowFlex tailgate, a manual tilt and telescoping steering wheel, remote start, interior dual reading lights, an 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar control, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, body-color door handles, and keyless entry and start. Trail Boss The Trail Boss is built to tackle obstacles off-road, and it has additional features that enable it to conquer any terrain with ease. In addition to the standard 4WD, it also includes 18-inch all-terrain blackwall 32-inch OD tires, 18-inch high-gloss black aluminum wheels, and wheel flares. It also comes with a standard advanced trailering package with a built-in hitch, trailer brake controller, in-vehicle trailering app, and automatic locking rear differential. Z71 Chevy's Z71 trim always designates a truck built for the rigors of the off-road environment that is equally at home on the pavement. With upgraded features like signature LED daytime running lamps, LED tail lamps and projector headlamps, an Autotrac 2-speed transfer case with push-button controls, remote express-down for all windows, wireless phone charging, a 120-volt power outlet, a 120-volt bed-mounted power outlet, and cloth and Evotex seat trim. ZR2 The ZR2 is the flagship trim level in the Colorado line, offering maximum capability and high-end all-terrain prowess. The ZR2's enhanced off-road capability is powered by features like its driver-selectable full-locking front and rear differentials, off-road rock protectors, a high-performance suspension with DSSV Multimatic dampers, a 3-inch factory lift, a taller and wider stance, an off-road front fascia, and 17-inch all-terrain blackwall 33-inch OD tires.

This comprehensive safety system can help give you a little extra warning when you're getting into danger. It also gives your truck Automatic High Beams, so the high beams turn on and off by themselves according to the traffic conditions when you're driving in the dark. The Following Distance Indicator is another useful tool; it can help you determine whether to leave a bigger gap between you and the driver ahead, as it tells you how many seconds it'd take to crash into them if they stopped unexpectedly.
