Chevrolet will offer both a box-delete option for the Colorado. If there was any doubt that Chevy planned to market the Colorado for work, this new option should clear that up. The option comes exclusively on the 2WD extended cab Colorado with the 3.6-liter, V6 engine and automatic transmission. Chevy deletes $300 from the cost of the truck for those that choose the delete.

 

The landscapers and construction crews that use the Colorado refitted with a flat bed or rack-body will also benefit from the following:

• 2,200-pound payload rating
• 6,001-pound gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
• Temporary taillamps installed on the rear of the frame
• Rear bumper deleted
• Full-size spare tire included
• Eight body mount provisions (four per frame rail)
• Standard fuel filler position. Optional BJA-code service body fuel filler will be available and shipped loose in the cab for upfitter installation
• Z82 trailering package
• G80 locking differential

The box-delete package is called RPO order code ZW9. A rear seat delete is also available for the work truck and can be ordered even if the box-delete is not.

In Australia, they have Holden (GM) Colorados on the lot with and without boxes.

The ones without boxes have trays. Thats what they call those aluminum flatbeds with the headache rack and ~1' high swing down sides. Very popular there for every brand of truck to have the tray. Rarely see a box. And the Colorado comes with a factory snorkel. Seems you don't have a proper UTE there unless it has a tray, snorkle, and a pair of huge spotties.
