For fans of the ever-popular Chevrolet Colorado, there’s reason to celebrate. This tough yet versatile truck was just named Motor Trend’s 2024 Truck of the Year.

If you’ve been following the Colorado over the years, you know this pickup has had a knack for shaking up the truck world since its 2015 debut. Now in its latest generation, Chevy’s midsize truck continues that tradition. The new Colorado isn’t just stylish (though the looks are pretty sharp). It’s thoughtfully designed for real-world use, with handy features like the multi-functional bed and comfortable interior.

The Colorado lineup offers broad appeal across work and play. The no-frills Work Truck, the well-equipped LT and Z71 models, the rugged off-road ZR2, and the new Trail Boss means there’s a version suitable for every lifestyle. Yet they share that classic Colorado personality – reliable, adventure-ready and tough as nails.

Motor Trend was impressed by more than just the ZR2’s stellar off-road chops. As Ed Loh put it, this truck delivers “exceptional on- and off-road performance” – high praise coming from the authority on trucks.

And in a historic first, the Colorado’s win means Chevrolet has captured both Truck of the Year and SUV of the Year for 2024 with the Blazer EV. Exciting times for Chevy fans eager to get behind the wheel.
