Each year the New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA) presents Best Winter Vehicle awards in each major category. For 2015 the Chevy Colorado earned the award for best winter vehicle in the compact pickup class (mid-size class).

 

Members of NEMPA test each vehicle under consideration in the worst possible weather conditions to arrive at the results. This year, New England experienced the most snow and also the coldest February on record. That gave the testers, which included members of the GM-trucks.com staff, a chance to put the Colorado through some very challenging conditions. Not only was the Colorado the best vehicle in its class the group tested, it was a strong contender for the overall win, which went to the Ford F-150. Crossovers and SUVs rank high on everyone's winter vehicle list, but this past winter called for more capability than even some large AWD crossovers could handle.

 

 

WheelsTV and NEMPA noted that the Colorado offers the capabilities of many full-size trucks with the convenience of a small package.
