Chevrolet Colorado Trail Boss Adds More of What You Want
Midsize pickups are growing in popularity again in the United States, and Chevrolet is leading the charge with the Colorado.
The highest trim level you can get, at least until now, is the Z71. Designed to be the fully-loaded, off-road capable special, the Z71 is targeted straight at the buying demographic for this type of truck; younger, outdoorsy, and adventurous.
But what if you want MORE than that? The GM Performance Parts catalog has been where you’d look to accessorize your new truck.
Taking some of the most popular options and bundling it together for a more off-road centric vehicle, Chevrolet announced at the Cleveland Auto Show the Chevrolet Colorado Trail Boss.
In addition to the regular Z71 goodies, the Trail Boss comes with Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac all-terrain tires and special 17″ wheels.
Like the GearOn concept shown in Chicago, the Chevy bowtie logos are black on the front and rear, along with the fender flares.
The Trail Boss has the G80 automatic locking rear differential, a transfer case shield on 4WD models, front recovery hooks, and a spray-on bed liner.
Some GearOn accessories are included as well, including moveable cargo tie-down rings, load bar, and a cargo divider.
The Trail Boss package adds $3,320 to the $28,505 starting price for the Colorado Z71. It goes on sale later this spring.
I’m hoping that this sells well, because I really want Chevrolet to put the ZR2 Colorado into production. With strong sales of other off-road packages, General Motors might be convinced to put this bad boy into production.
