We are proud to announce our 2024 Motortrend Truck of the Year is none other than the Chevrolet Colorado. Want to find out which trucks it beat out

Transcript

00:00 So what makes a truck great?

00:04 In a word, versatility.

00:06 See we Americans, we want our pickups to tow our toys, call for work, conquer any terrain,

00:11 and also serve as civilized daily drivers.

00:15 Because it does all of those things brilliantly, the Chevrolet Colorado is the 2024 Motor Trend

00:20 Truck of the Year.

00:26 Chevy's redesigned midsize pickup stood out in a competition heavy with cruisers from

00:31 Ford, GMC, Chevy, the Hummer EV and the Raptor R super trucks, and the Colorado's pricier

00:36 cousin, the GMC Canyon.

00:38 It earned this win on the strengths of a turbocharged 4-cylinder that makes up to 430 pound-feet

00:44 of torque, and a chassis that rides comfortably and confidently no matter the task at hand.

00:50 A thousand pounds on the bed, no sweat.

00:52 A 5,000 pound trailer off the back, easy.

00:57 No surprise, the Colorado ZR2 with its 33-inch tires, spool valve dampers, and locking differentials

01:03 was a beast off-road.

01:05 But our judges were blown away by how the humble Colorado LT scrambled over so many

01:12 of the same obstacles with just straight tires and no low range.

01:21 Two large crisp screens modernize the interior while the bed features practical touches like

01:26 steps molded into the bumper corners and a tailgate storage box that's great for tie

01:29 downs and gloves.

01:31 The Colorado also offers great value and great variety.

01:35 You can buy a loaded daily driver or a hardcore off-roader for roughly the same price as the

01:41 average new car.

01:43 So in a segment where no two buyers use their vehicles the same way, that versatility is

01:48 what makes the Chevrolet Colorado a winner.
