The 2019 Chevrolet Colorado Is the Standard of Mid-size Trucks for Lansing
The truck body style comes in many different sizes, but for most drivers around Grand Rapids, a mid-size truck is the ideal blend of capability, comfort, value, and efficiency. While this segment of the truck class can't match the impressive towing and payload ratings of larger pickups, they're still capable models for towing, off-roading, and other jobs.
Well, if you've settled upon mid-size trucks as the models you're going to consider, there are several reasons why you should choose a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. We think many in Mason, MI and beyond can benefit from a new Chevy Colorado, so we've highlighted some of those ownership benefits below!
Power and Performance
Each East Lansing driver has their own unique needs from a truck, which is why the 2019 Chevy Colorado offers lots of options regarding design and engineering. There are three engines, two gas and one diesel, paired to either a 6- or 8-speed automatic transmission. The four-cylinder gas engine has plenty of get-up for the city while sipping fuel, the V6 gas engine has the most horsepower and a towing capacity of 7,000 pounds, and the four-cylinder diesel engine has 369 pound-feet of torque for towing up to 7,700 pounds.
That max towing capacity in the 2019 Chevy Colorado is more than enough for those bringing a boat to Lake Michigan or a camper to the UP, and the power can help with other adventures too! The Colorado won’t let you down when you bring it on dirt trails or if you're towing a snowmobile to Charlotte, MI, so your adventures really are endless with this truck!
Cabin and Bed Design
There are two cab sizes for the 2019 Colorado, an extended cab and a crew cab, with the latter being the more spacious of the two, but the extended cab still has 45 inches of legroom for the driver. The extended cab is a better option for those that love the feel of a truck and aren’t going to use the rear row for passengers while the crew cab, as its name entails, is great if you're picking up workers on the way to a job site. Both offer long boxes, 74 inches in length, while the crew cab has a shorter bed option, 61.7 inches, if you need a more compact truck for city driving but seating for five.
Safety and Technology
The power and functional design are staples of every Chevy Colorado, but the 2019 model is the smartest yet with its plethora of automotive tech. There's heating for the steering wheel and seats, perfect for cold mornings, while sound-insulating materials keep out sound so that relaxing is easier and everyone stays comfy. You'll also have help finding directions and your favorite music playlist with the help of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which are programs of the standard infotainment system, and there's even a hotspot for internet connection while driving.
These are all great features, but even they can't match the brilliance of safety systems like Side Blind Zone Alert, Forward Collision Alert, and Rear Park Assist. Driving is less stressful when you know what's around you, which is what those features will help you with!
