GM Authority Highlights the Chevy Colorado Delete, Boosting Haul Capability

Many truck owners in and around Memphis recognize the value in adding more space to a truck: sometimes the bed itself is not quite enough for the demands of the day. Gm Authority ran a feature on their blog this week about the current-generation Chevy Colorado, and the optional exit of the rear seat on certain models. This increases the storage space in the cabin, allowing more room for luggage, camping gear, tools, or whatever else you may want to keep safe in the confines of the cab.

Without the rear seat in place, you can keep valuable tools inside, safe from the elements, and less prone to thievery. The Chevy Colorado rear-seat delete is a factory options with RPO code “ATZ,” and you can check with us here at Chuck Hutton regarding availability and body configuration. The Colorado ZR2 Bison is the high-performing truck that Cnet.com deemed “built for survivalists,” and suited for those on the hunt for an overly extreme truck. The AEV-altered version comes complete with an on-board air compressor, water storage, and a bed rack for mounting your gear.

The “bruiser that was meant to venture on the off-road path,” the ZR2 Bison made quite a statement during the 2017 Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas, back when it was first given the green light for production. Powerful protective skid plates that cover the fuel tank, transfer case, and front and rear locking differentials are one of the prominent traits that protect you while excitedly getting down to trail-blazing business. The Bison also reaps the benefit of an upgrade from the regular in the form of 31-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac off-road tires, beneath larger fender flares, and mounted on brand-new 17 x 18-inch aluminum wheels.

Beneath all of the additions that AEV bestowed upon the ZR2, you still get to enjoy the tough-and-very-capable traits of the Colorado like front and rear locking differentials, Multimatic DSSV dampers, cast-iron front suspension control arms, and the Autotrac transfer case. The Newswheel.com highlighted the infotainment system upgrade you get to enjoy with the 2019 Colorado: 7-inch screens will now be offered in the lower trims, and 8-inch HD color touchscreens will be available within higher trim levels.

There is also a new USB port on the front console, which will have one Type-A and one Type-C data port, along with an SD card reader, as well as auxiliary input jack. Don't hesitate to ask all of us here at Chuck Hutton about the Luxury package: it now includes a heated steering wheel, perfect for getting started properly during the cooler of mornings the coming change in Tennessee weather may dole out to us!
