Laying Claim to the Best of the West: Chevy Colorado 4WD LT

With the New Year rapidly approaching towards the residents of Memphis, there are a multitude of fun events happening to get you in the mood to celebrate. If you're itching to go to something fantastic to show off a purchase like some new wheels, one super event will be The Party Life: a New Year's Experience. This gala has live entertainment, old Hollywood glam décor, Hors D'Oueveres, Ball Drop, as well as a Midnight Champagne Toast. You can also ring in the night with a happening gala at The Historical Daisy Theater: there are 3 fully equipped bars, sporting custom light fixtures from a local artist. If you happen to have had any bad memories from 2017, you can cut them away on the brand new dance floor, and marvel at the jumbo chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

Many of our customers are constantly telling us why they have a lot of love for trucks. Over the last week, LA Times writer Charles Fleming was on assignment driving and learning about the finer points of a 2018 Colorado Redline 4wd LT, and he was definitely fond of its size first off. Claiming that one quality of many 2017 models was that “Climbing into the driver's seat requires a stepladder or running leap”, the easy, somewhat sedan-like handling Colorado was a pleasure to drive. This truck has dimensions that are a bit similar to a Ford F-150, but the stepping-in point is where the difference is: it is a very noticeable two inches lower, sitting right at around 22.

The article claims that the Colorado was incredibly easy to park, and gives props to the usefulness of the very high-tech backup camera. This is a truck that is a stand-out choice for anyone who has to navigate on streets of a narrower variety, and was even billed by Car And Driver as the “Swiss Army Truck”. The four-wheel drive and 3.6-liter V-6 engine are paired with Chevy's 8-speed automatic transmission, and this mid-size pickup has a towing ability of around 7700 pounds. What everyone will love about the ready and able Colorado is it's the true “Do everything” vibe of the crew cab, offering plenty of available speed, and still being lethally off-road ready.

Heated exterior mirrors are available as well as an “Active Tow” system: it is a great help to the driver by aligning the pickup when reversing, and is standard on all V-6 models. To commemorate Chevy's 100^th anniversary, a special-edition package is available to those getting the extended and crew-cab Z71 trim. Here you score a color-keyed grille and rear bumper, spray-in bed liner, chrome exterior bits, and very tough and ready 18-inch wheels. Ask us here at Chuck Hutton how the Colorado LT trim can set you up: crew cab, standard box, 3.6-liter V-6, and all-wheel drive are all included. It also provides seats for five, all-weather capability, as well as stellar towing and acceleration abilities, and would be the ultimate impressive rig to plant under any (outdoor) Christmas Tree!
