PRLog - Dec. 8, 2014 - CRESTVIEW, Fla. -- Three years after being discontinued, the Chevrolet Colorado has once again hit the roadways, and it’s already making an impact, winning recognition as Motor Trend’s 2015 Truck of the Year. The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado has claimed its place among the elite, with Motor Trend writing that it has “revitalized the midsize truck segment.”

In particular, Motor Trend praises the new Colorado’s “compelling powertrain lineup,” which includes:

·      A 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque. This engine can achieve 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway with two-wheel drive.

·      A 3.6L V6 engine that produces 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. With two-wheel drive, this engine can achieve 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway.

Both engines are available with four-wheel drive.

The Colorado is also available with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Drivers who select the available six-speed automatic transmission will be able to take advantage of a button-activate tow/haul mode that helps minimize upshifting and downshifting. When properly equipped, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado can tow as much as 7,000 pounds and handle a maximum payload of 1,590 pounds.

While the 2015 Colorado offers incredible efficiency and exceptional capability, it also caters to those who crave a feature-rich driving experience. The new Colorado is available with 4G LTE Wi-Fi powered by OnStar, allowing drivers to use their truck as a mobile hotspot to stream movies and music, as well as surf the web. The available Chevrolet MyLink system features an eight-inch touchscreen that makes it easy to stream audio, make and receive phone calls, and more. It’s clear that the 2015 Colorado is a powerhouse on the technology front.

Ultimately, Motor Trend summarizes the reasons for their selection by writing, “simplicity and purity are what a truck ought to be about,” adding, “And for that reason, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado was named our 2015 Motor Trend Truck of the Year.”

The new Colorado is available now at Allen Turner Chevrolet. Located at 4150 S. Ferdon Blvd. in Crestview, FL, Allen Turner Chevrolet offers the full lineup of new Chevy vehicles, and places an emphasis on providing stellar customer service.
