THE LEGITIMATE MID-SIZE PICKUP.
You choose a mid-size pickup for a series of practical reasons – because you want a pickup that is more affordable, more manoeuvrable and
more fuel effi cient than a full-size. But that doesn’t mean you want to compromise on capability or dependability. You want a legitimate,
hard-working truck. That’s why you need nothing less than the Chevy Colorado. With a lineup that lets you build the right cab, engine and
suspension combination that works best for your needs. The engine choices alone indicate the breadth of the Colorado lineup, from a highly
effi cient four-cylinder engine right through to the 300 horsepower Vortec 5.3L V8 that was introduced last year. Standard on every Colorado are
premium features like the enhanced driver control of the StabiliTrak® electronic stability control system and the added reassurance of the
sophisticated OnStar® system. It’s everything you need and everything you want from a mid-size truck: the 2011 Chevy Colorado. |

IT’S NOT JUST YOUR TRUCK, IT’S YOUR CAB.
There are many factors that go into selecting the right truck for you. That’s why Colorado is available in Regular, Extended and
Crew Cab – the only mid-size to offer all three confi gurations.* The Crew Cab is all about capacity with seating for up to six and a payload of
up to 577 kg (1272 lb.).** Colorado also gives you a choice of the Z85 Standard Suspension or available ZQ8 Sport or Z71 Off-Road Suspension
The rugged Z71 Package includes a torsion bar front suspension, higher ground clearance, 17-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels, urethane
jounce bumpers and monotube shock absorbers. If performance and handling is a priority the ZQ8 Sport Suspension is the answer. Available
in 2WD Extended and Crew Cab models, it provides a 51 mm (2 in.) lower stance than the Standard Suspension and features P235/50R18
tires on 18-inch aluminum wheels. Think of them as the even more capable Colorados. |

YOU COULD SAY IT COMES LOADED.
All Colorados are built for the rigours of hauling. After all, they are Chevy to the core. Regular and Extended Cab models feature an
1849 mm (72.8 in.) cargo box – with maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWR) of 2336 kg (5150 lb.) for Regular Cab 4x4 models and
2495 kg (5500 lb.) for Extended Cab 4x4 models. A standard boxliner helps protect the cargo box. And the two-position tailgate helps
you take full advantage of Colorado’s impressive capacity. You can even increase the cargo capacity and secure it inside the cab with an
available rubberized-vinyl fl oor that includes removal of the rear dual jump seats in Extended Cabs. Load it up. |

SURE IT’S FUNCTIONAL. IT’S ALSO FUN.
Colorado is designed for the way you use your truck, with lots of easily accessible storage areas inside the cab. Crew Cabs feature a
fl at-folding 60/40 split-bench rear seat and a front centre console, while Extended Cabs include handy rear under-seat storage. Not that
these cabs are designed with only utility in mind. You can take comfort in the standard air conditioning, while enjoying the feel of the
leather-wrapped steering wheel. You’ll also enjoy the entertainment possibilities: Crew Cab models are equipped with a standard CD player
and MP3 playback. Available XM Satellite RadioTM* adds 130 channels of programming. Have some fun. |

EXTRA FUEL EFFICIENT OR EXTRA POWERFUL?
Match up your choice of engine to the demands you place on a pickup. If fuel effi ciency concerns rule the day, the Vortec 2.9L four-cylinder
engine achieves 7.8 L/100 km highway (36 mpg) and 11.3 L/100 km (25 mpg) city ratings.* Step up to more power with the 242 horsepower
3.7L fi ve-cylinder engine. Both engines use Variable Valve Timing (VVT) to optimize both power output and fuel effi ciency. And then there’s
the powerhouse: the 300 horsepower Vortec 5.3L V8 engine that increases the maximum towing capacity to 2722 kg (6000 lb.). All Colorado
engines are backed as well as they are built – with the best coverage in Canada – the $0 deductible 5-year/160,000 km Powertrain Component
Limited Warranty that also includes Courtesy Transportation.** Another powerful reason to choose Colorado. |
