From mid-April, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado will offer a box delete option, which will allow business owners and fleet managers to customize the back end of the truck.
Launched at the National Truck Equipment Association Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, the box delete option is described as by Chevrolet as the only such option offered in the midsize truck segment.
Carrying RPO order code ZW9, the box delete package is available on Colorado Work Truck 2WD extended cab models, exclusively with the 305hp 3.6-liter V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
When the option is selected, a $300 credit is applied to the Colorado’s suggested retail price.
Additional vehicle and package highlights include a 2,200-lbs (998-kg) payload rating, 6,001-lbs (2722-kg) gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), temporary taillamps installed on the rear of the frame, rear bumper deleted, full-size spare tire included, eight body mount provisions (four per frame rail), standard fuel filler position, Z82 trailering package and G80 locking differential.
Chevrolet also offers the option to delete the rear seat for greater cargo capacity on the Colorado Work Truck extended cab regardless of whether the box stays or goes.
“With the segment-leading efficiency and maneuverable size, the Colorado makes a great, flexible choice for urban businesses and fleets to make the most of a midsize truck,” said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president, GM Fleet & Commercial. “It’s ideal for utility companies requiring service bodies, as well as landscapers and other businesses needing the utility of a flatbed,” he added.
