The 2020 Chevrolet Colorado Trail Boss, as the name implies, looks significantly more robust than the base model Colorado. Just at a glance, you can already see what we’re talking about. The grille up front is blacked out, the 18-inch alloy wheels are also painted black, as well as the fenders and the tail-gate.

These provide a contrasting color scheme to the vehicle which highlights the very macho details of the truck. This provides the Colorado Trail Boss with an air of ruggedness and capability that certainly makes it stand out.

Aside from the color scheme though, there’s also the rugged-looking sports bar straddling the cargo bed. And in talking about the cargo bed, it can actually haul up to a ton. Down below, Chevrolet also gave it a limited-slip-differential which is highly appropriate for what the American car company intends the Colorado Trail boss to be, something that can travel rapidly over sand, mud, and un-cemented roads.

Lastly, the Trail Boss has a wading capacity of 800 mm which we think might be useful especially during the monsoon season here in the Philippines.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: the Colorado Trail Boss as of yet only has a 4x2 drivetrain. There’s no word yet from Chevrolet Philippines if there’s going to be a 4x4 version but regardless, this doesn’t mean the currently available Trail Boss is less capable as it does get a limited-slip differential.
