Why it stands out

The 2022 Chevrolet Colorado stands out as a midsize pickup that leans hard into capability without giving up everyday usability. By this point in its second generation, it offered a strong mix of performance and brawn, and Chevrolet’s lineup gave buyers a clear path from basic work-truck duty to more specialized off-road versions. It was also a truck with real utility credentials, including up to 7,700 pounds of towing capacity, which helped it compete well against other midsize pickups.

What makes the 2022 model especially appealing is the breadth of its powertrain and trim choices. Chevrolet offered rear-wheel drive by default with four-wheel drive optional, and the higher trims brought more serious hardware and equipment. The Colorado Z71 added an off-road suspension package, automatic locking rear differential, skid plates, unique wheels with all-terrain tires, automatic climate control, driver power lumbar control, and wireless charging. At the top, the ZR2 brought even more aggressive off-road equipment, including Multimatic DSSV Damping System, increased ground clearance and track width, and larger all-terrain tires. For buyers who want a truck that can work during the week and head off pavement on the weekend, that versatility is a major part of its appeal.

The 2022 Colorado also benefited from useful cabin and tech updates that made it feel more modern than earlier versions. The W.T. trim became the entry-level offering in 2020, and the truck gained a 7-inch color touchscreen there, while the L.T. added an 8-inch touchscreen and conveniences like remote keyless entry and the E.Z. Lift & Lower tailgate. Higher trims could also get lane-departure warning and forward-collision warning, and the Z71 included a high-definition camera. Even so, the Colorado was not perfect: the second generation had a reputation for transmission problems, and Chevrolet’s own lineup notes that the base four-cylinder models and W.T. trims were the ones to skip if you want the strongest overall package.
