Innovative Tailgate Tech and Turbo Torque for Coeur d’Alene, ID Adventurers

Lewiston Chevrolet – Innovative Tailgate Tech and Turbo Torque for Coeur d’Alene, ID Adventurers

When a midsize truck nails the details that matter, your weekends get easier and your weekdays get more productive. The 2025 Colorado’s bed and tailgate features pair beautifully with the 2.7L TurboMax™ engine’s muscle, delivering a one-two punch of utility and confidence that shines on lakeside launches around Coeur d’Alene, ID and the logging roads that frame it. This combination is more than spec-sheet swagger — it’s practical, well-thought-out engineering that saves steps, shortens setups, and keeps you moving.

Start with the bed — because every project and every getaway eventually runs through it. Colorado’s design brings best-in-class bed and tailgate functionality to the forefront with clever storage, power on hand, and the kind of flexibility that fits how you work and play. The available StowFlex tailgate keeps smaller items secure, a mid-position tailgate supports longer loads, and up to 17 available tie-downs let you lock in everything from paddleboards to lumber. Add the available 120-volt bed outlet and cargo bed lighting, and your truck becomes a mobile workstation that transitions into a campsite hero after dark.

• StowFlex tailgate storage: An integrated compartment helps keep gear like straps, gloves, or tools organized and out of sight.
• Mid-position tailgate: Supports up to 500 lbs. and makes it easier to carry longer items without extra racks.
• 120-volt bed outlet: Power saws, inflators, and chargers without hunting for an extension cord.
• Cargo bed lighting: Illuminates the bed so loading and unloading stay simple after sunset.
• Up to 17 tie-downs: Multiple anchor points let you secure oddly shaped loads with confidence.

Now pair that utility with the TurboMax™ engine’s torque-rich personality. With 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque, throttle response feels immediate on city streets, boat ramps, and steep forest grades. The enhanced 8-speed transmission keeps the truck in its sweet spot, and available drive modes — Off-Road, Terrain, Tow/Haul, plus Baja on ZR2 — tailor power delivery to the surface beneath you. Whether you’re backing a trailer into a tight driveway or navigating a rocky trail, the Colorado makes complex maneuvers feel straightforward.

1. Underbody cameras: Segment-first available views help you see obstacles under the truck as you crawl over rocks or position on uneven terrain.
2. Trailering App: Available on-screen checklists and connection status streamline prep before you hit the road.
3. Digital displays: The 11.3-inch diagonal center touch-screen and 11-inch Driver Information Center present key details where you need them.
4. Connectivity: Google built-in, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your navigation and music front and center.

The best part is how cohesively it all works. The technology feels intuitive from day one, and the practical touches show up at the moments you need them most — from underbody views that prevent a misstep on the trail to bed lighting that makes a late-night gear shuffle painless. It’s the kind of integration that turns capability into confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What makes the TurboMax™ engine feel so responsive?

Turbocharged torque peaks early, and the enhanced 8-speed transmission keeps you in the powerband, so acceleration and low-speed control both feel immediate.

Which drive modes should I use for hauling a trailer vs. off-roading?

Use Tow/Haul when pulling a trailer for optimized shift mapping and stability; choose Off-Road for loose surfaces and Terrain for steep climbs or slow crawling. ZR2 adds Baja mode for sandy conditions.

Are the underbody cameras helpful beyond off-roading?

Yes — they’re great for boat ramps, uneven jobsite entrances, and any tight approach where visibility below the bumper can prevent contact.

How does the tech suite simplify daily driving?

With Google built-in for navigation and voice, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for media and messaging, and clear digital displays, it’s easy to manage tasks without distraction.

Can I power tools at the worksite from the truck?

The available 120-volt bed outlet supports light-duty tools and chargers, and the tailgate’s built-in measurement tool keeps quick cuts and checks straightforward.
