Interior and Technology Comparison

The $36,900 LT adds remote start and StowFlex storage for a buyer who wants a truck for a weekday drive down AR-102 from Centerton and storage for small gear on the weekend. At $41,600 the Trail Boss adds 4WD, a two-inch lift and the factory tow equipment.

The Colorado comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.
