As some of you may already know, “Down Under” is a place where people do a lot more standing out than fitting in.
Fitting in is boring. You chose to fit in, disappear in a crowd, somewhere like in Oslo or Helsinki, not Melbourne or Adelaide. This is why Aussies like their cars to look a bit more special, have a bit more style and more substance – which is where the Colorado Z71 comes in.
The Z71 is based on the MY16 Colorado LTZ 4×4 Crew-Cab pick-up, yet adds key exterior upgrades such as the 18″ Arsenal Gray alloys, sail plane and styled nudge bar, heated front leather seats, rear view camera, acoustic package and Holden’s Mylink infotainment system which comes with a 7″ color touch screen display.
On top of that you also get headlamps with a dark chrome mask, gloss black mirror scalps and B-Pillars, gloss black tailgate handle, black door handles, black rear step trim, Z71 decal on tailgate, black body side door mouldings, black hood with Z71 graphic and roof rails.
According to Holden Exec Peter Keley, “drivers are increasingly using trucks to facilitate an active lifestyle, whether it’s surfing or snowboarding, and looking good is important to them. Z71 adds an impressive range of features to the Colorado truck, not least the exterior black components and leather-appointed seats that combine to give a more aggressive look and comfortable ride.”
And with a 3.5 tone towing capacity, the Z71 should meet all your utilitarian requirements, as well as suit your style in terms of aesthetics.
The Holden Colorado Z71 is available in either Summit White, Sizzle Red, Black Sapphire, Satin Steel Gray and Orange Rock – the last 3 colors costing you a $550 premium.
