If you live in The Woodlands, you know how many gorgeous green landscapes there are to explore nearby. The outskirts of Houston is a great place to live if you want access to a metropolitan area sometimes but also want to be close to wide open land. That’s what living in Texas is all about, after all. However, if you truly want to take advantage of the many great parks, lakes, and open spaces nearby, you need a good off-road truck. The Chevy Colorado is a terrific option. Its compact dimensions make it ready to venture into busy Houston streets when necessary, while its excellent ground clearance and off-road-ready ZR2 trim mean it’s ready to tackle unpredictable terrain.
As your used truck dealer near The Woodlands, the team at Parkway Chevrolet would love to show you a used Chevy Colorado. We are particular fans of 2020 models, which are up to date on many of the infotainment and driver assist features you’d find in current models. You’ll get things like Chevy’s Teen Driver technology and six standard airbags across the 2020 Colorado trims. On the off-road-ready ZR2, you’ll get the addition of rugged features like widened front and rear tracks, a lifted suspension, and tapered ends on the front bumper. All of these features make the ZR2 ready to crawl rocks and tackle uneven terrain, but all Colorado trims boast impressive standard and available comfort and convenience features. Here are some of the highlights of a used Chevy Colorado.
Remote Features for Greater Control
There are several remote features that you will find on a used Colorado that will make day-to-day life and adventures easier. One of these is the keyfob-operated tailgate lock. Even if you have a tonneau cover, it only takes a few moments for a thief to open an unlocked tailgate. Many even prowl around off-road sites, knowing that the owners are nowhere nearby––they’re off on a mountain bike or hiking excursion. That makes off-road areas a major target for tailgate thieves. Luckily, the 2020 Colorado not only has a tailgate lock but one that can be operated remotely using your keyfob. If you’ve already started hiking away from your Colorado and realized you forgot to lock the tailgate, you can simply use your keyfob.
Another great remote feature is the remote keyless entry. When you have a small cooler full of Gatorade under one arm and a bike pump under the other, all you have to do is press a small button on your keyfob to unlock the vehicle. If your buddies are standing around, eager to hop in and turn on the AC, they don’t need to wait for you to finish what you are doing and unlock the truck with your keys. An extended range version of remote keyless entry is found on the LT, Z71, and ZR2 trims for even greater convenience.
Stay Comfortable in Any Weather
On days you want to get the engine started before you hop in the vehicle, the available remote engine start will come in handy. When programmed correctly, it will also turn on your automatic climate control to ensure you hop into a vehicle that’s already at the perfect temperature. You and your passengers will love it when you get into a cabin that’s been pre-cooled after a long day in the sun.
If you don’t want to stop your off-roading adventures in the winter, you’ll love the available heated front seats and heated steering wheel, which can be found on used LT, Z71, and ZR2 models. You’ll love grabbing the heated steering wheel when your fingers are frozen stiff from a full day of exploring W.G. Jones State Forest or one of the other majestic locations north of The Woodlands. You and your front-seat passenger will also appreciate sliding into heated seats.
Connectivity for an Entertaining Ride
A used Colorado has several standard connectivity features that will come in handy during off-road adventures and while running errands around Montgomery County. First off, the 2020 Colorado has the Chevrolet infotainment system with a standard seven-inch color touchscreen or available eight-inch HD touchscreen. This includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is not something you’ll find on many used trucks. Two USB data ports give you and your co-pilot the option to plug in your phone and have it start sending information to the infotainment system.
You can also charge your smartphone using the available wireless charging pad when it’s low on power. This is a particularly useful feature for off-roaders since your adventures might take you far off the beaten path, where staying connected to navigation becomes more important than ever. You also just don’t want your phone to die the second that perfect pre-adventure song comes on to set the mood.
Safety and Storage Features
The 2020 Colorado has a couple of standard features that enhance behind-the-wheel safety and the security of your belongings. Its rear vision camera gives you a crystal-clear view of what’s happening behind your truck. This will come in handy when reversing over really rocky or uneven terrain or when reversing that boat you’re towing into the water.
Beneath the rear seat of extended cab models, you’ll find hidden storage. You can toss your valuables in here when you’re leaving your truck unattended for the day. Or, simply use it as extra storage space for odds and ends that you don’t want to store in your truck bed. On crew cab models, a folding rear bench seat comes standard on all but the Base trim, giving you another way to make more storage space when you need it.
