2017 Chevrolet Colorado WT: The Versatile Mid-Size Leader for the Mid-South

Whether you are heading out for a sunrise fishing trip near the quiet waters of Moscow, TN, or navigating the daily commute through the growing communities of Olive Branch, MS, the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado WT offers the perfect balance of utility and maneuverability. This Crew Cab pickup is designed for those who need a real truck that can handle the grit of a gravel road as easily as it finds a parking spot at the local hardware store. The Cyber Gray Metallic exterior gives it a professional, understated look that fits right in at a job site or parked outside a favorite weekend brunch spot. It is a vehicle built for the diverse lifestyle of the Mid-South, providing a dependable partner for both work and recreation.

Performance & Capability Rooted in Power

Under the hood, this Colorado is equipped with a robust 3.6L V-6 gasoline direct injection engine featuring DOHC and variable valve control. This powerplant is engineered for efficiency and strength, utilizing cylinder deactivation to help achieve an impressive 25 HWY MPG while still delivering a stout 308HP. Whether you are hauling supplies across the rolling hills of Oxford, MS, or heading out on a highway stretch, the 8-speed automatic transmission provides smooth, precise shifts and includes transmission electronic control to monitor fluid temperatures during heavier use.

The drivetrain is a classic Rear-Wheel Drive setup, optimized for those who prioritize highway efficiency and traditional truck dynamics. To ensure you never lose traction when the North Mississippi red clay gets slick, this WT trim is upgraded with an Automatic Locking Rear Differential. This feature automatically engages to provide equal power to both rear wheels when slip is detected, giving you added confidence on uneven terrain. The suspension is a sophisticated mix of an Independent front suspension with short and long arms and a Rigid axle rear suspension with leaf springs, ensuring the truck maintains its composure whether the bed is empty or loaded down with gear.

Essential Technology for the Modern Driver

In a world of overly complicated interfaces, the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado WT keeps things intuitive and focused. The cabin features a 4.2-inch primary display that serves as the hub for the AM/FM Stereo. This system includes a USB port and auxiliary jack, allowing you to easily connect your smartphone or external media device to enjoy your own curated playlists or podcasts during long drives. The 6-speaker audio system feature is tuned to fill the Crew Cab with clear sound, while the integrated roof audio antenna ensures a sleek profile without sacrificing reception. Drivers will appreciate the analog instrumentation display, which provides clear, at-a-glance information, and the external memory control which adds another layer of versatility to your media options.

Comfort and Interior Functionality

Inside, the Colorado offers a functional and durable environment with Jet Black/Dark Ash cloth front seat upholstery. The Front Bucket Seats are designed for long-duration comfort, featuring a Driver 4-Way Power Seat Adjuster that allows you to find the perfect driving position with ease. For those early morning starts, the Remote Keyless Entry and Remote activated perimeter approach lighting provide both convenience and an added sense of security.

The WT Convenience Package significantly enhances the daily experience, adding electronic cruise control with steering wheel mounted controls—perfect for maintaining steady speeds on the bypass—and the highly practical EZ-Lift & Lower tailgate which prevents the tailgate from slamming down. Passengers in the rear will find a comfortable Rear Bench Seat with a fold-up rear seat cushion, revealing a rear under seat tray for discrete storage of tools or outdoor gear. With power windows, power door locks, and manual climate control, the cabin remains a comfortable sanctuary regardless of the humidity outside.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is a fundamental component of the Colorados design. This truck is equipped with a comprehensive 6-airbag system, including dual front impact airbags, seat-mounted side impact airbags, and curtain first and second-row overhead airbags to protect all occupants. To assist with maneuvering in tight spots or hitching up a trailer, the Back-Up Camera provides a clear view of what is behind the vehicle on the center display.

The braking system is equally robust, featuring 4-wheel disc brakes with 4-wheel antilock (ABS) and front ventilated discs for consistent stopping power. For those traveling with younger passengers, the manual rear child safety door locks provide peace of mind. The vehicle also includes a suite of low-level warnings for vital fluids like coolant, fuel, and washer fluid, ensuring you are always aware of your truck's health before you head out on a long trip.

Exterior Design and Utility Features

The exterior of this Colorado is finished in a sophisticated Cyber Gray Metallic paint, complemented by a Chrome grille and a Body-colored front bumper. The 16-inch Ultra Silver Metallic Steel Wheels are wrapped in all-season blackwall tires, providing a durable foundation for year-round driving. This truck is truly work-ready, featuring the Heavy-Duty Trailering Package which includes a trailer hitch and 7-pin connector, along with Trailer sway control to keep your load stable.

The cargo box is protected by a Black Spray-On Bedliner with the Chevrolet Logo, shielding the metal from scratches and corrosion. To keep your cargo out of the elements and away from prying eyes, it also features a Vinyl Tonneau Cover with Integrated Support Bows. Utility is further enhanced by the Rear step bumper and the EZ-Lift & Lower Tailgate, making it easier than ever to access the bed. Fully automatic halogen headlights and Daytime Running Lights ensure high visibility, while the Active grille shutters help optimize aerodynamics at higher speeds.
