Chevrolet is introducing the 2015 Colorado Z71 Trail Boss today at the Cleveland Auto Show — an enhanced, special-edition version of the Z71.
“The Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss Edition gives owners the gear-carrying ability and versatility they need to venture off-road, with segment-leading efficiency and capability,” says Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager.
The Trail Boss combines Chevrolet Z71’s off road truck suspension package with more “aggressive tires” — Goodyear all-terrain tires and metallic painted cast-aluminum wheels. Additional features include front fog lamps, all-weather floor mats, and front recovery hooks.
Last month, Chevrolet introduced the 2015 Colorado GearOn Special Edition, which offers an all-in-one, adjustable solution to better organize and secure cargo.
The Trail Boss and the 2015 Colorado GearOn Special Edition go on sale this spring. Pricing for the Trail Boss starts at $28,505. ​
