Colorado

Let’s start things off by taking a look at the 2021 Colorado to revel in everything this midsize truck has to offer on- and off-road. Thundering at its core is an available 3.6L V6 engine that works in tandem with Direct Fuel Injection and Variable Valve Timing to displace an awe-inspiring 308 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque. All of this strength won’t have you constantly stopping at the pump either, because you’ll have command over an 18/25 MPG city/hwy¹ fuel economy rating to spend more time on the roadway. Are you looking to bring some extra equipment or hitch your boat on your weekend adventure? This will be a simplified endeavor, because this pickup truck is capable of providing a 7,700-lb. maximum towing capacity² with the 2.8L Duramax Turbo-Diesel 4-cylinder system equipped. 

Silverado 1500

When automotive enthusiasts and casual drivers consider a pickup truck that covers all the bases, the 2021 Silverado 1500 consistently gets brought up in the discussion. Rightfully so, as this model provides a powertrain lineup that covers all the bases in terms of muscle and capability. If you’re in search of ultimate frugality, opt for the available 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel 6-cylinder powertrain to tap into a 22/33 MPG city/hwy³ fuel efficiency rating. Of course, when ultimate hauling capabilities are a must, then you won’t regret upgrading to the available 6.2L V8 engine. Not only does this system unleash 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque on the roadway, but it also puts a 13,300-lb. maximum trailering rating⁴ right at your fingertips. 

Silverado HD

If you’re looking to jolt out of the starting gate with conviction, then there’s no question that the 2021 Silverado 2500HD is poised to get the job done. For starters, its standard 6.6L V8 engine is prepared to deliver 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft. of torque with each tap of the accelerator. If that simply isn’t enough to abide by your need for speed, then you reserve the right to upgrade to the available 6.6L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel V8 system. This machinery will certainly separate yourself from the pack on Route 20, because it’s capable of dispelling 445 horsepower and 910 lb.-ft. of torque. Pair that with the incredible 18,510-lb. maximum towing capacity², and your trips will know no limits!
