Does Chevy Colorado come in a regular cab?
The quick answer: no. In the current Colorado lineup, Chevrolet does not offer a regular cab. Buyers choose between Crew Cab and Extended Cab configurations.
For context, a regular cab is a two-door, single-row pickup configuration. Today’s Colorado focuses on two main cab styles to balance passenger space and cargo access: Crew Cab, with four full doors and a roomy rear seat, and Extended Cab, which uses two doors plus smaller rear access doors for occasional passengers. Here’s what you need to know about the available configurations today and how they differ.
Current cab configurations
Below are the two cab configurations offered for the latest Colorado models and how they compare in terms of space and practicality.
- Crew Cab — 4 full doors, seating for five, generous rear passenger space, and typically the most popular setup for families and everyday use. This configuration prioritizes interior comfort and ease of access.
- Extended Cab (often called Xtra Cab) — two doors plus two smaller rear-hinged doors, more compact rear seating, and often a longer bed option in some trims. It is favored by buyers who need extra cargo space with occasional rear-seat use.
Bottom line: the regular cab is not offered on the modern Colorado. Choose Crew Cab for passenger comfort and access, or Extended Cab if you need additional bed length with limited rear-seat usage.
Historical context
Past Colorado generations and cab options
Chevrolet’s Colorado has evolved through multiple generations. Earlier model years offered a broader range of cab configurations, including a traditional regular cab in some markets and trims. With the current generation introduced for 2023, Chevrolet narrowed options to Crew Cab and Extended Cab, with no regular cab available. For buyers specifically seeking a true two-door regular cab, options may be limited to older used Colorado models or exploring other midsize trucks that still offer that configuration. Always verify the exact cab configuration for the year and trim you’re considering.
Shopping considerations
When deciding between Crew Cab and Extended Cab, consider how many passengers you typically carry, how you plan to use the bed, and how important rear-seat accessibility is to you. Crew Cab offers easier entry and more cabin space, while Extended Cab can provide a longer cargo bed and potential cost savings. Always check the current spec sheet from Chevrolet for bed length, seating capacity, and trim-specific options, as these can vary by year and market.
Summary
In today’s Chevrolet Colorado lineup, there is no regular cab option. The two available configurations are Crew Cab and Extended Cab, each with distinct advantages. If a true two-door regular cab is essential, you may need to consider older Colorado generations or explore other midsize trucks that still offer that configuration, while confirming exact specifications with a dealer for the year you’re interested in.
