Colorado Extended Cab two-wheel-drive models carry an MSRP of $18,545. The LS two-wheel-drive Crew Cab has a $20,670 MSRP and the LS four-wheel-drive Crew Cab has an MSRP of $23,230. All prices include a $635 destination charge.
Popular options, such as power locks, power windows, electronically controlled outside mirrors and remote keyless entry are available in the Power Convenience Group for $500. The available Comfort Convenience Group available on Regular and Extended Cabs offers a tilt steering wheel and cruise control for $395. Additional options include side-curtain air bags (starting at $195), XM Satellite Radio ($325), OnStar ($695), trailer hitch and wiring ($255) and traction control for two-wheel-drive models with the G80 locking differential ($295).
"Colorado delivers high performance at an exceptional value for consumers," said Dewar. "The value of Colorado's standard and optional equipment complements its broad lineup and allows customers to tailor a vehicle to their active lifestyle."
Colorado's standard equipment (excluding fleet models) includes air conditioning; a locking, removable, dual-position tailgate; four-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS); and driver and front passenger frontal air bags with dual-stage inflators.
The standard engine is the Vortec 2800 inline four-cylinder, which produces 175 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque - more power and torque than any other four-cylinder in its class.

A five-speed Aisin manual gearbox is standard while the electronically controlled four-speed automatic is optional.
