The Chevy Colorado follows the lead of the Silverado in styling with its bold chrome crossbar grille and multi-lens headlamps (high and low beams, daytime running lamps and turn signals). On models so equipped, fog lamps are inset into the bumper. The lamp assembly has a flying wedge contour, higher at the outside. Otherwise the Colorado has a clean, modern look, the Crew Cab looking well balanced despite the extra cab length. Reach-through door handles allow a full handful of grip for easy opening even with gloves.Cargo boxes are 6-foot, 1-inch on regular and extended cab models and 5-foot, 1-inch on the Crew Cab. A two-position locking tailgate, fully closed or 55-degrees open, as well as lowered to horizontal, provides more cargo utility. When partway down, the Colorado can carry a 4-by-8 foot sheet of plywood flat. Chevrolet dealers have a range of accessories, including a bed extender, hard and soft tonneau covers, tubular assist steps and splash guards, that can be installed at the time of delivery, naturally at extra cost.
