Chevrolet had it's saying on the light-duty pickups, competing with Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota for that segment. Still, fleet-owners preferred Chevy, and the bow-tie brand tried to offer something to match their needs.
The Colorado Regular-Cab version was just for work and provided a two-seat cabin that could do that easily. It was the lightest and most affordable pickup from Chevrolet's lineup.
Sporting the same ladder-chassis as its siblings with four doors, the Hummer H3 and the Isuzu D-Max, the Colorado single cab could carry up to one tonne without tearing a sweat or damaging a leaf-spring. It was the basic work truck delivered in white with black, unpainted bumpers in its lowest trim level. At the front, the distinct front fascia with a horizontal slat resembled the same design language as the rest of Chevy's pickup range. For private users, the carmaker also provided better trim levels, which included body-colored bumpers and door mirrors caps.
Inside, the Colorado featured two seats with cloth upholstery and cranked windows for the base version, while the upper trim levels received better interior materials and power windows. Vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox featured a stick-shift on the floor between the occupants, while the automatic transmission versions received a gear-lever behind the steering wheel.
Since it Chevrolet built the Regular-Cab version mostly for fleet companies, it provided a fuel-efficient but sluggish, inline-four engine paired to a five-speed manual. The other choice was a beefy 3.7-liter inline-five carried over from its richer cousin Hummer H3.
