1. Just-Right Size & Maneuverability More agile than a full-size truck: At 65.3 inches wide (without mirrors), the 2016 Colorado is noticeably narrower than its Silverado sibling, making it easier to park, navigate tight streets, and maneuver in urban environments or residential driveways. Even better off-road: When equipped with the Z71 or ZR2 packages, its more approachable on narrow trails than broader trucks, yet still premium enough to take you comfortably into the backcountry. 2. A Range of Capable Powertrains Economical four-cylinder: The standard 2.5-liter inline-4 produces a solid combination of fuel economy and horsepowerideal for commuting and light-duty use. Muscular V6 option: The 3.6-liter V6 delivers a more engaging drive, better hauling capacity, and stronger acceleration when compared to many competitors at the time. Available 2.8L diesel (later model years): While not present in the early 2016 units, some versions did feature a torque-rich diesel that excels in fuel efficiency and towing grunt. If you find one, it can be a rare gem with serious mileage perks. 3. Strong Towing & Payload Balanced capability: Even in a compact frame, the Colorado is built to tow. A properly equipped model can tow around 7,000 poundsperfect for a medium-sized trailer, camper, small boat, or other gearwithout moving into truck tax brackets or requiring a full-size frame. 4. Comfortable & Functional Interior User-friendly layout: Regardless of trim, the dashboard and infotainment system remain intuitive, with clear controls and logical design. Versatile cab and bed: Crew cab models provide adequate rear-seat comfort for adults, while the bed is long enough for typical weekend suppliesyet short enough that the tailgate doesnt stick out awkwardly in tight driveways or garages. 5. Value: Affordable Now, Retains Reasonably Lower initial cost: A 2016 Colorado is significantly cheaper than newer models, yet offers much of the same daily-driving pleasure. Moderate
