1. Chevy High Country Storm 2019: Exterior

From the outer looks that belie the beast underneath is a façade that is fiercely strong and ready to rock and rumble in the pickup wars. Chevy did not play coy and just went for the jugular instead! It’s hefty, brawny and comes with design accents to make it noticed.

Dark and accentuated accents applied on the hood, door handles, with blackened side-view mirrors that includes a noticeable yet subdued hood! They did not stop there and went the whole nine-yard to complete the macho-machine look with alloy wheels that are 18-inches to add more attitude.

Capping everything about the look is the black rear bumper with a rear-sport bar that’s connected to the bed of the truck! High Country Storm is an orange and black cyclone that can’t be missed. By the way, orange and black is the new White and why settle for any other truck?

4. 2019 Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm: Engine and Performance

Serious about above and beyond the city scene driving then consider it. Settling for a 2.0-liter, bi-turbo is cool but this comes in a 2.8-liter engine with 500 torque and 200 horsepower that isn’t a small engine! The Duramax engine further proves its power with a tow-limit of 3.5-tonnage and better yet is having 800-millimeter wadding depth too.

Hit low or high enough water to cross safely as long as the alternator is dry! Most of its closest competition will have at least 400-480 torque and 150-190 horsepower which is quite lower though. Performance upgrades are plenty with updates in the engine, transmission, and body mounts for a smoother ride on pavement or off-road.
