2017 Chevrolet Colorado Extreme specs

Chevrolet Colorado Extreme

Chevrolet colorado extreme show vehicles were created to inject excitement and passion into the critical pickup truck and SUV segments, and reinforce Chevrolet’s commitment to the Thai market,” says GM Thailand and Chevrolet Sales Thailand Managing Director Marcos Purty.

Exterior 

Thailand’s version features a similar hood vent, but takes the truck’s appearance to a new level. The front bumper is similar to the ZR2 Concept’s, but features an integrated LED light bar, fog lights, and more pragmatic tow points ready for D-ring shackles. The truck also features large fender flairs, side step bars, a snorkel for the engine, a roof rack, and sports bar over the bed rails. The truck rides on mud tires mounted on five-spoke beadlock wheels.

If the truck does make production, we’d expect the snorkel, roof rack, and beadlock wheels to be absent.

Interior

The global Colorado now wears a similar interior as the U.S.-spec truck. The update makes the cabin feel much more homey thanks to the large, eight-inch infotainment screen with MyLink software, chrome trim, leather coverings, and upgraded switchgear. The three-spoke steering wheel and gear shifter are two of the most obvious differences. Off-roaders will appreciate the Xtreme’s main addition – a built-in inclinometer perched atop the dashboard.

Chevy says this truck, like its U.S. counterpart, now features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Engine and performance

Chevy does not mention the drivetrain in the Colorado Xtreme, but the engine is probably the 2.8-litre Duramax. In its configuration over seas the moment, I4 turbodiesel engine makes 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. It was a full 7-horsepower more than the US-specification version, although the torque remained the same. It is thanks to the possibility of stricter emissions ratings here in the United States. Provide power to the wheels is a six-speed automatic transmission. Colorado Xtreme use cases part time transfer, electronically controlled to send power to the front axle. When the going gets tough, the driver simply selects the 4WD transfer case and involve guests driveshaft, which in turn, the power of the front axle.
