Three Reasons Bowling Green Drivers Should Check Out the 2024 Chevy Colorado

Bowling Green is home to the only General Motors plant in the world to produce the Corvette, but we’d like to make Bowling Green drivers aware of a different and equally impressive model: the Colorado. For Bowling Green drivers looking for a fair-priced midsize truck, it’s time to check out the Chevy Colorado.

At Newton Chevrolet of Russellville, we welcome plenty of drivers looking for Chevys for sale near Bowling Green, and we’ve sent home many happy customers in the Colorado. We believe it delivers a unique collection of features that help Bowling Green drivers make the most of life. It’s a fair-priced, reliable, and well-designed pickup, so let’s take a look…

#1. A ‘Cool’ Multi-Purpose Tailgate

There are tons of reasons Bowling Green drivers need a solid tailgate. Let’s start with all of the great games to catch at Western Kentucky University. If you want to enjoy an afternoon of watching the Hilltoppers dominate the competition, you’ll need to stock up on refreshments—and that’s why we love showing customers the StowFlex tailgate on the 2024 Colorado.

Its lockable storage compartment has a built-in drain, which means you can fill it with ice and load it up with all the drinks and perishable foods you need for a great tailgate party. Once you’re ready to head home, just open the drain and release the melted ice—no mess and no fuss.

Bowling Green also has so many beautiful camping areas nearby, like Beech Bend Family Campground and Bowling Green KOA Holiday. Fit some extra food and beverages in the lockable storage compartment for long days away from your refrigerator. Even if you just need a way to bring your perishables home from the H3 Farmer’s Market and didn’t remember to pack a stand-alone cooler, the StowFlex Tailgate will come in handy.

We also like to make sure that dirt bike enthusiasts know about the tailgate’s mid-position capability. You can prop the tailgate up at an angle to keep long items like dirt bikes in place. It can support up to 500 lbs, so you and a buddy can throw your rides back there; you can then use the eight standard tie-downs to further secure your adventure equipment.

We know that life around southern Kentucky involves a lot of fun outdoor recreation and that you need a great tailgate to do it the right way. That’s why we think the 2024 Colorado is so perfect for drivers in this area.

#2. Off-Road-Ready Capabilities

Want to enjoy some fun away from paved roads? You probably know there are tons of excellent off-road trails around Bowling Green, like Old Mill Creek Road and Geezer’s Trail. Explore untamed and beautiful natural landscapes in the Colorado’s off-road-ready trim, the ZR2 Bison. Chevy has been making the ZR2—an off-road suspension package—on its trucks and SUVs since the early 1990s. The Bison edition, however, only just became part of the Colorado family in 2019, and it takes the trim’s rugged capabilities up a few notches.

The ZR2 Bison gets 35-inch mud terrain tires that are ready to tackle rough roads and 12.2 inches of ground clearance for easily clearing small obstacles on trails. The five Boron steel skid plates will protect your undercarriage when small rocks and other debris fly up. Plus, the impressive break-over and departure angles make the ZR2 Bison ready to dominate hilly terrain. If you enjoy your time off taking advantage of all the great off-road trails near Bowling Green, we think you’ll love what the ZR2 Bison trim has to offer.

Whether or not you opt for the off-road trim, you can take advantage of the Colorado’s 7,700-lb towing ability, which you’ll unlock with the 2.7L TurboMax I-4 engine. It’s got just enough oomph to drag an ATV or small camper out to the forest.

We love that the Colorado combines a midsize frame with solid towing abilities because it opens up the pickup truck category to more drivers. Not everyone needs all the heft and power of the full-size Silverado, but they might still have a need for modest towing power. The Colorado strikes a nice balance between easy handling and solid abilities.

#3. Saving Money Now and Later

If you need a pickup truck for work or fun but you want better fuel economy than a full-size model offers, check out the Colorado. The EPA estimates that you’ll get 19 MPG in the city, 24 MPG on the highway, and 21 MPG combined in rear-wheel drive. We particularly like to point out that highway rating to Bowling Green drivers who face long commutes.

With Nashville just about an hour south and Louisville just about two hours north, Bowling Green is close to two major metropolitan areas that are great for work and recreation. If having both a sedan and a truck isn’t in the household budget, and you know you need a truck, you’ll get solid freeway fuel economy out of the Colorado.

We know that Bowling Green residents work hard for their income, and it’s important to us to help you put your dollars to good use. It’s why we’re so excited about the Colorado’s low starting MSRP. At just under $30,000, the Colorado delivers excellent value for its price tag. The starting trim, the WT, has plenty to offer, as it boasts huge color touchscreens, the full Chevy Safety Assist driver assistance suite, and large all-season tires. If you want a sturdy, reliable, and quality midsize pickup for under $30,000, check out the Chevy Colorado WT.

We don’t think you should have to break the bank to get a terrific pickup truck, and that’s why we stand by the Colorado.
