There are some things you simply can’t know about a truck before you test drive it, and you’ll need to get behind the wheel of the 2025 Chevy Colorado to truly appreciate everything it can do. Make sure you check out its connectivity features and safety technology on your test drive, and thoroughly inspect the truck bed to see everything it offers.
1. To Get a Feel for Its Driver Assistance Features
There are some driver assistance features you hopefully won’t need during your test drive, but there are others that you can check out and see how they work. For example, the Following Distance Indicator will let you see how many seconds it would take for you to crash into the car in front of you.
Other standard features include Automatic High Beams, Forward Collision Alert, and Front Pedestrian Braking. Overall, the standard Chevy Safety Assist package aims to help you avoid collisions wherever possible.
2. To Thoroughly Explore the Bed
When you decide to test drive the Colorado, make sure you examine the bed, especially if you test drive a trim with all the bells and whistles. A StowFlex compartment and up to 17 tie-downs are both available to help with securing valuable gear. You can add cargo bed lighting for better visibility, and there’s also a 120-volt power outlet available, which is strong enough to power typical household items.
The truck has a maximum payload capacity of 2,046 pounds, but you’ll need one of the top two trims to get this capacity. Its payload capacity is slightly over 1,700 pounds in the Trail Boss and Z71, and it’s 1,445 pounds in the ZR2.
3. To Check Out the Entertainment and Connectivity Features
The Colorado has standard smartphone connectivity and available Google built-in. Using the smartphone connectivity lets you control your smartphone through the infotainment system via voice commands. You can access calling and texting features, your calendar, navigation, and audio streaming apps through it.
Google built-in adds personalization to the system, as you can connect your Google Account and save certain settings. You can also use Google built-in for navigation and music streaming.
4. To Feel the Strength
The Colorado is a strong midsize truck, so you should test drive it and see how powerful you feel on the road. Its towing capacity is one example of how truly strong it is. With its maximum capacity of 7,700 pounds, it’s able to tow heavier loads than all the other trucks in its class.
