Driven Car ReviewsIs The 2023 Chevy Colorado The State Of The Art In Mid-Sized Pickups?The days of American brands falling short in the mid-sized pickup market are over and the new 2023 Chevrolet Colorado is proof. It’s handsome, capable, comfortable and powerful. Plus, it’s affordable. The Trail Boss model with standard 4WD and off-road suspension is less than $40,000. Tom Voelk takes The Boss on road, off road, camping and exploring. Midsized trucks do some things better than full-sized rigs. Special thanks to Ryan Douthit for providing footage and opinions for this review. Visit Driving Sports for his take on the Colorado Trail Boss. https://www.drivingsports.com 2023-09-1423 min
