Name it the Swiss Army Truck: Colorado can do all, from heavy towing to running school carpools as well as off-road exploring.

Highly configurable and aptly skilled, it presents a trim for every occasion as well as -ready- and-rugged.

It can tow 7700 pounds with the optional diesel four-cylinder engine.

Colorado has two cargo-bed and cab styles that pair off with numerous powertrain choices. A base 200-hp four-cylinder has a common six-speed manual, a 308-hp V-6 is the swiftest of the bunch, and a fuel-competent diesel generates 369 lb-ft of torque.

Its excellent infotainment system and handsome looks are undermined by a cheap-looking interior and limited driver-assistance technology.

But still, Colorado is in the league of a multipurpose pickup truck that is capable and clever.
