Happy Birthday to the Chevy Colorado!

BAY CITY, Mich. -- This November the Chevrolet Colorado turns 4! This segment redefining truck has taken the US market by storm reignited an interest in midsize utility vehicles, and made GM the most successful truck company for the last four years, selling 634, 505 more pickups than their closest competitor. 

In celebration of this truck legend's birthday, Chevy is expanding the Colorado family with two 2019 special editions, the off-road package Z71 Trail Runner and the street-savvy RST. The Z71 features your standard off-roading accessories and adds the ZR2's amazing underbody protection. Additional changes include a stamped aluminum front, mid skid plates, functional rocker protection, and Goodyear Duratrac tires. The RST ramps up the typical street features offered on the Tahoe, Suburban, and all-new Silverado, but with a slightly more sophisticated edge. It includes LT trim, a monochromatic exterior offset, a black beltline, body side moldings, a black tailgate bowtie, in addition to, Colorado and RST badges. It's also the first Colorado to offer 20-inch wheels, finished in a low-gloss black. 

Additionally, both releases feature the flow-through "CHEVROLET" lettered grille, first released on the Colorado ZR2 Bison, which can also be purchased as an accessory for $395 plus installation and tax. 

With these new additions, the Colorado lineup now offers new levels of off-road capability and street smart possibility. Sandor Piszar, director of marketing for Chevrolet trucks said the Colorado has and will continue to "change what customers expect from a midsize truck, inspire competitors, and bring new customers to Chevrolet". We wish someone would say such nice things about us on our birthday.

Chevy Colorado ZR2 Makes Competitive Debut

BAY CITY, Mich.,–– The "Vegas to Reno" race, the largest off-road race in the United States, broadcasted on August 19th. In the competition, over 350 participants compete in a 550 mile off-road race from Las Vegas to Reno. From mountain passes to desert wallows to dry lake beds, drivers put their vehicles to the test in a heated competition. The Chevy Colorado ZR2 made its competitive debut and received a 1st Place Best In Class award, finishing with 18 hours, 50 minutes, and 16 seconds on the clock.

Out of the 350 participants in the race, only 204 vehicles made it through the challenging track. The Colorado ZR2 that participated in the race was modified with an upgraded roll cage, racing body-mandated safety harness, a 44-gallon racing fuel tank, racing lights, a GPS system, and a two-way radio. The ZR2 was also equipped with upgraded Chevrolet performance features that will be announced at a later date.

“First and foremost, this was a development trip for our engineering team,” said Mark Dickens, executive director of Global Accessories, Performance Variants, Parts & Motorsports, General Motors, who was part of the chase and support team following the race from start to finish at all 14 pit stops.

“ZR2’s performance went beyond our most optimistic expectations, completing Vegas to Reno in its first outing. We learned a lot of things about the truck and could not be happier with the result, as well as the efforts of the Hall Racing team.

“The fact that the Colorado ZR2 was the only stock midsize truck to compete in Vegas to Reno reinforces our claim to be in a segment of one with this vehicle. Our success in this race is a testament to all that we’ve accomplished since the relaunch of our midsize truck program three years ago,” said Dickens. “We cannot wait to pass along the benefits of what we’ve learned here under extreme use and at future races to our customers.”

BAY CITY, Mich. – The North American International Auto Show opened to the public this weekend featuring not only the hottest new vehicles of the year but also some of the most awarded, including the newly named Cars.com Best Pickup Truck of 2015, the Chevrolet Colorado! While the bright lights and fanfare of the Detroit Auto Show draw attention to the shiny new vehicles from the market's largest automakers, the Colorado is no stranger to the spotlight, having already received countless awards since its initial debut!

So why did Cars.com name the Chevrolet Colorado Best Pickup Truck of 2015?

Plus, with a starting price of just $20,995, the midsize truck delivers a complete package at a steal of a price!

New 2015 Chevy Colorado Child Safety Seat Feature

BAY CITY, Mich. – Redefining the midsize truck segment, the all-new Chevrolet Colorado will hit the road and rubble this Fall! But it's not just performance and capability that the Colorado is bringing to the midsize segment. It's taking safety to the next level with the 2015 Chevy Colorado's segment-first child safety seat feature that will better protect your little ones!

While the new truck is equipped with many safety-related firsts for its segment, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado's patent-pending child safety seat feature is like nothing you have seen before. It's no question that you want to make sure your children are safe when you buckle them into their booster seats, but since manufacturers recommend having at least 80% of that seat base on the seat cushion for optimum protection, that can be hard in extended-cab midsize trucks due to the small rear jump seat. But with Chevy's new safety solution, you won't have to worry one bit! The patent-pending feature allows the rear seat headrest to be removed and inserted into the base of the seat horizontally, making the seat cushion larger and providing additional support to the booster seat.

WATCH: 2015 Chevy Colorado Safety Seat Feature Demonstration


Chevrolet's new segment-first child safety seat feature coupled with the truck's Driver Alert Package which includes forward collision alert and lane departure warning, will provide you with peace of mind that your passengers are protected when you hit the road in the new Colorado.

If you can't wait until Fall to get a new vehicle, you can enjoy some of the same advanced safety features among the automaker's current lineup! Come see us today and we can help you find a vehicle for your needs. Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706 and we can help you find just the convertible for your needs! For more information on Hank Graff Chevrolet, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our websites: www.GraffBayCity.com.
