Reviews SummaryThe midsize truck segment is chock full of options to entice buyers, and the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado is a strong entry. We expect some buyers will have sticker shock when they see the price tag attached to this medium-sized crew cab truck, but it’s mostly priced on par with its primary competition. Verdict: If you’re in the market for a right-sized truck that will fit in your garage and won’t be too hard to park in town, the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado is an appealing package. With a powerful standard turbocharged engine and multiple option packages designed to appeal to the off-road crowd, including the top-spec ZR2 Bison, the only thing the Colorado lineup is missing is a long-bed option to compete on level footing with the sales-leading Toyota Tacoma. | |
Reviews SummaryChevy's line of heavy duty Silverado models has long suffered by comparison to the like of the Ford SuperDuty. This mid-cycle refresh brings better styling and a new off-road trim that pushes the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD ever closer to its top rival. | |
