The Chevy Colorado has always drawn an incredible amount of positive attention and curiosity here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse, and the amazing team on duty at the GM Authority blog just released an exciting news tidbit about the 2024 model! It will now be equipped with the Ultifi end-to-end vehicle software platform; at the same time, it will be introduced in the 2024 GMC Canyon in the big red vehicle lineup. Ultifi is powered by the Vehicle Intelligence Platform, which was developed by GM as a platform-supporting way to customize vehicle functions to the extreme.
Making the content of Sci-Fi movies a productive and fascinating reality, Ultifi could potentially offer features such as starting the 2024 Chevy Colorado when facial recognition technology can properly identify drivers. Drivers may also see amazing advances such as seamless communication with the owner’s smart home to interact with security settings and climate control, as well as a “teen driver” mode. In addition to featuring Ultifi on the technology suite, the 2024 Chevy Colorado will also introduce the range-topping ZR2 Bison, which boasts legendary off-road capability and over-landing chops.
The Bison was made possible through a partnership with American Expedition Vehicles, along with expert input from off-road racing guru Chad Hall. Rubicon Testing has also gone to the extreme during the intense vetting of the Bison, employing power quality verification, infrared thermography, ground system testing, and QA/QC verifications to ensure the electrical installation is up to code. A lifted suspension provides 12.2 inches of ground clearance that comes in very handy while navigating the trickiest of terrain.
A winch-capable AEV heavy-duty front bumper, 35-inch OD Mud-Terrain tires on 17-inch AEV beadlock-capable wheels, and Boron steel skid plates and rocker protectors are a few of the other bulletproof and massively trail-rated pieces of equipment rendering the Bison so incredibly prepped for the wild. One of the premier power sources for the 2023 Chevy Colorado is the potent and feisty turbocharged 2.7-liter I4 L2R gas engine, cranking out 237 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The more powerful engine is the turbocharged 2.7-liter inline 4 L3B gas engine, which ups the ante with 310 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque.
A thrilling world of adventure and power is at your disposal with the Chevy Colorado, which can conquer everything from the open road to remote and harrowing trails far off the beaten path. Stepping up from the WT to the Luxury Truck offers a higher level of comfort and convenience, boasting upgraded interior materials, advanced technology, and additional high-end comforts. The Z71 trim is perfect for the truck lover who plans on packing their compass and gear bag for extended intervals off pavement boasting rugged all-terrain tires and expertly-tuned suspension.
With gear ratios perfectly tailored to push the highest levels of performance, the Hydra-Matic 8-speed automatic transmission keeps you in complete control whether you are crawling over intense obstacles or enjoying thrilling bursts of acceleration on the open road. The Bison’s Multimatic Jounce Control Dampers provide the greatest of well-tuned capability in brutal environments. Equipped with power-locking front and rear differentials, these trucks ensure maximum maneuverability and traction and can conquer any threatening obstacles in your path. Durable skid plates on the underside provide class-leading protection for the fuel tank, transfer case, and engine.
