Overview of the trim lineup
The following list outlines the standard trims and what they generally represent in the Colorado range. This helps buyers understand where each option sits in terms of capability, features, and intended use.
- WT (Work Truck): The base trim designed for work use and fleet buyers, offering essential features with a focus on value.
- LT: A step up from WT with additional comfort, technology, and convenience features suitable for daily driving and light-duty use.
- Z71 Off-Road: An off-road-focused trim that adds hardware and styling cues aimed at improved capability on rough terrain.

- ZR2 Bison (special edition): A limited-edition variant of the ZR2 developed with a partner to provide enhanced off-road hardware and distinct styling.
Note: In some model years, the Z71 designation appears as a package rather than a standalone trim, and exact naming can differ by year and market. Always verify current configurations with a dealer or GM’s official listings.
