2006 Chevrolet Colorado offers something its competitors have forgotten, and that's a utilitarian Regular Cab work truck. In fact, about a hundred permutations are available, giving buyers lots of choices to fit their needs.
The number of trim levels has been expanded for 2006, although little else is actually new. The cloth upholstery for the new high-level LT model has been upgraded, and a new option package that combines the sunroof with a six-disc CD changer is available.
The 2006 Chevrolet Colorado comes with three different suspensions: The rugged Z85 is the standard suspension and is available with two-wheel drive (2WD) or four-wheel drive (4WD). The Z71 off-road suspension is also available with 2WD and 4WD. Appropriately, the low-riding ZQ8 sport suspension is only available with 2WD.
A 2.8-liter four-cylinder engine comes standard in most models, rated 175 horsepower. A 3.5-liter five-cylinder rated 220 horsepower is optional ($1,000) on most Colorados and standard on some upper-level models. A five-speed manual transmission is standard with either engine, with a four-speed automatic ($1,095) optional.
Regular Cab, Extended Cab, and
Crew Cab models are available. Trim levels have been expanded for 2006.

On the Colorados engines, they will get larger engines for 2007: a standard 3.0L 4cyl and a 3.7L 5cyl.
Take care and God bless,
