2025 Chevrolet Colorado

A source-linked guide to the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado trim range, powertrain choices, drivetrain, seating and capability. Every 2025 Colorado uses the same 310-horsepower 2.7L TurboMax engine; the six trims separate by equipment and off-road hardware, not powertrain. Crew Cab is the only body configuration. Key figures on record: Powertrain 2.7L turbo four-cylinder, Output 310 hp, Drivetrain RWD / 4WD, Seating 5, Maximum towing Up to 7,700 lb. ZR2 is capped at 6,000 lb towing while Trail Boss and Z71 reach 7,700 lb with the Trailering Package: capability is trim-dependent even though the engine is not.
