Chevrolet introduced the Colorado lineup in 2003 as a 2004 model year and continued its tradition in the light-duty pickups, competing against Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota.
General Motors had its stakes in the Isuzu and started a joint project with the Japanese company. That resulted in a few vehicles, including the Isuzu D-max and the Chevrolet Colorado. The latter was available in a few cab versions, with the Extended-Cab placed in the middle.
The car's front featured a distinct front fascia with a horizontal slat that crossed the vehicle from one side to another, splitting the headlights in two. Depending on the trim option, that slat was chromed or body-colored. In the Extended Cab version, the Colorado featured a set of suicide-doors in the back. Thus, the carmaker eased-up the ingress and egress to the car for the rear passengers. Behind the cabin, Chevrolet installed a long bed. Interestingly, the Extended-Cab was the longest in the lineup.
Inside, Chevrolet installed a bench-seat on the base trim level or bucket seats. On the versions fitted with a manual gearbox, the gear-stick was installed on the center console. For the automatic version, the carmaker moved the lever on the steering column. The rear seats offered limited room for two passengers, mostly for short distances.
Under the hood, the bow-tie brand installed a wide range of engines ranged between the fuel-efficient inline-four 2.8-liter unit and a beefy 3.7-liter inline-five. The latter was unusual for an American pickup. Yet it was offered, and even though it was not sold in large numbers, it impressed with its pulling power.
