Bob Boyte Chevrolet – Why the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado’s TurboMax Power and Bed Innovation Fit Life Around Mobile, AL
When a midsize truck hits the sweet spot between everyday utility and weekend-ready grit, drivers notice—especially around Gulf Coast commutes and coastal getaways. The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado earns that attention with its TurboMax™ torque, best-in-class bed and tailgate functionality, and technology that feels tailored to how people really use their trucks. Whether the day’s plan is hauling landscaping supplies, backing a skiff down a ramp, or heading to remote trailheads, the Colorado’s smart packaging and composure make each task feel easy and repeatable.
Start with the power. The standard 2.7L TurboMax™ engine serves up 310 horsepower and a robust 430 lb.-ft. of torque through an enhanced 8-speed automatic. That means quick responses in traffic, confident passes on two-lanes, and relaxed towing on rolling highways. Paired with up to five available drive modes, the Colorado adapts on the fly—Normal for daily duty, Tow/Haul for loaded trailers, Off-Road for loose surfaces, Terrain for crawl-like control on steep grades, and Baja on ZR2 for sandy stretches. Add available 10 camera views, including segment-first underbody cameras, and visibility joins traction to make tight spots and tricky lines far less intimidating.
Then there is the bed—more thoughtful than most full-size setups, and the reason Colorado claims best-in-class bed and tailgate functionality. With up to 17 available tie-downs, an available 120-volt power outlet, integrated cargo lighting, and a mid-position tailgate that supports up to 500 pounds, the bed is more than storage. It becomes a workstation, a staging zone, and a tailgate basecamp all in one. The available StowFlex tailgate storage hides small gear—ratchet straps, gloves, and tools—so the truck stays organized without loading the cab with clutter.
Technology ties it all together. The 11.3-inch diagonal center touch-screen with Google built-in brings crisp mapping and voice assistance, while Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep music, messages, and apps right where drivers want them. The 11-inch diagonal digital Driver Information Center displays vital stats at a glance—drive mode, trailer data, and alerts—so the driver can focus on the road or trail. Chevy Safety Assist comes standard, with Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® Auto High Beams providing a safety net in busy traffic and low-light conditions.
