DETROIT – Suggested retail prices for the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado extended-cab pickup will start at $20,995, including an $895 dealer freight charge, Chevrolet announced today.

Standard features will include a 200-horsepower 2.5L four-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection and continuously variable valve timing for strong midrange torque; a 6-speed manual transmission; power windows with express up for the driver; a rear-vision camera with dynamic guide lines; and a locking tailgate.

“Colorado is an all-new midsize pickup that offers truck customers great versatility and great value,” said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager. “It will also have strong appeal for people who know they want a truck, but want one that is easier to maneuver in traffic and easier to park at work or at home.”

Available options will include a 305-horsepower 3.6L V-6, also with direct fuel injection and variable valve timing; a 6-speed automatic transmission; 4G LTE with a built-in WiFi hotspot; Forward Collision Alert and Land Departure Warning; and the GearOn™ accessory system, a comprehensive solution for organizing and carrying bikes, paddle boards and other equipment.

Colorado customers can chose from two cab configurations, extended-cab and crew-cab. Crew-cab Colorados will offer a choice of 5- or 6-foot boxes; extended-cab models come with the 6-foot box.

Other Colorado models also will offer great value. For example, the Colorado LT crew cab with 2WD and the 5-foot box has a starting price, including dealer freight, of $27,985. The Colorado Z71 crew cab 4x4 with the 5-foot box starts at $34,990.

Colorado will be available in Chevrolet dealerships nationwide in the fall of 2014. Detailed pricing and EPA fuel economy estimates will be available closer to launch.

Available options include the 3.6L V-6 engine with direct injection and variable valve timing, a six-speed automatic transmission, Bose premium seven-speaker audio system, and the GearOn™ accessory system, a comprehensive solution for organizing and carrying bikes, kayaks and other equipment.

Additionally, every 2015 Canyon comes with Pro Grade Protection, which, in addition to a five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, includes two years or 24,000 miles – whichever comes first – of standard scheduled maintenance.

The new Canyon will be in dealerships this fall. Detailed pricing information and EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings will be announced closer to vehicle availability.

That's about what was expected, maybe a little pricier. Not too bad overall.
Edit: This really sucks. Not very much information at all.

Judging by this minute amount of information, it looks like after rebates that I can get a fully loaded 4x4 Z71 Reg Cab Silverado with a 5.3 v8 for around the same as a loaded V6 Colorado.

Why pay 35K for a mid-size truck w/ a 5' box when @ that price it's clearly hanging out in Silverado territory? I bet you can probably get a Crew Silverado 4x4 w/ a 5' box for very close to that?

EDIT, Yep, I was right. http://www.chevrolet.com/silverado-1...iU1VNTUFSWSJ9@

and that's a 5.3 V8. When will GM learn, the old Colorado wasn't a bad truck, it was too dang-gum expensive.

[Cymaro]

WOW. I'm sad now. I might just wait until this time next year and see what the rebates will be on these.

[PYROLYSIS]

The MPG needs to be outstanding to justify this pricing. I wonder if those crew cab estimates are with the four cylinder?

[FenwickHockey65]

Hah. I just found the full pricing schedule.

[crysalis_01]

What kind of MPG estimates are being thrown around?

[Cymaro]

Also, that's going to put a Crew 4x4 Z71 with the Duramax at what, least $38,000 next year!!!

[G-Oil Guy]

This is just like when the new silverados came out. Everyone bitched about te prices forgetting that the previous model was heavily rebated. Wait 6 months hey look at that the silverados have massive rebates. It will no doubt be the same with the colorados.

And the reason someone might get this at a similar price to a silverado is maybe they don't want or need a full size truck. That's what drove me to my frontier. Had no need or desire to drive a land yacht.

[PYROLYSIS]

This article states that the V6 is a $935 option. http://www.autonews.com/article/2014...oreUserAgent=1

That part is reasonable. Don't see why anybody would get the four cylinder. I don't see the MPG being that far off between the two.

As in a breakdown of the pricing?

This part:

Other Colorado models also will offer great value. For example, the Colorado LT crew cab with 2WD and the 5-foot box has a starting price, including dealer freight, of $27,985. The Colorado Z71 crew cab 4x4 with the 5-foot box starts at $34,990.

has me thinking you could get into a Colorado 4x4 crew for around $30 - $31K which is exactly what I predicted. These things come standard with decent features, so its not like you'd be getting a bare bones truck. Unless I'm mistaken, the Z71 model comes with extra features I doubt I'd need.

Not sure...but yes...the duramax is not gonna be cheap at all.

I completely agree with this statement. The size of these trucks is perfect for me. (and most of us, for that matter)

I'll admit, I am a bit surprised at the pricing on these trucks, but that said...when it comes to these midsize trucks there are so many comments about how you can get a fullsize WITH REBATES for XXXX price. Well...your comparing MSRP on these, to a truck with huge rebates. What do you expect? We need to see what kind of rebates can be had on these trucks when they've been on the lots for a while. Its very possible you could find the near $35K Z71 for under 30. Put all of those options in a 4x4 silverado, and you won't get under 30.

One final comment...I assumed the Canyon would be a more upscale truck, and thus command a higher price (and it does) but I hope that you can get yourself in a decently equipped SLE model 4x4 crew for the low 30s. If you can't get into a crew 4x4 in any trim for less than mid 30s...thats a shame.

Overall...a bit pricier than I had hoped for, which is disspointing in this segment. The two big things that these trucks needed to stand out was 1) MPG (well see, but not holding my breath) and 2) pricing.

[FenwickHockey65]

Yeah I have detailed pricing on both trucks.

What are the actual size differences? Aren't the midsize trucks something like 6in narrower and about a foot shorter, trim to trim vs the Silv/Sierra? I also seem to remember that they sit almost at identical heights vs the full size Silv/Sierra?

[FenwickHockey65]

A Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 Limited is $36,930, so pricing is in line with the competition.
