Chevrolet Colorado
The Power of the Chevrolet Colorado
Chevrolet introduced the Colorado in 2004 both to replace their compact pickups and as Chevrolet’s entry into the midsize truck segment. On both counts, Chevrolet was and is successful, winning MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year award in 2024. Equipped with powerful and versatile engine options and seamless off-roading capabilities, the Colorado offers a smooth ride regardless of your environment, making it a fun ride for both work and play.
Benefits of the Chevrolet Colorado
Powerful Engine
The Chevrolet Colorado is powered by a 2.7L turbo plus or turbo high-output engine with up to 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, making it ideal for heavy-duty tasks. The model is also surprisingly fuel-efficient for a truck, exceeding its class average with a 22 combined mpg.
Comfortable and Functional
Inside the Chevrolet Colorado, you'll find a spacious cabin, with ample room for you and the truck’s other occupants. There’s approximately 2.3 inches more legroom up front than the Toyota Tacoma, 35 inches of legroom in the back and over 40 cubic feet for cargo in the 62-inch trunk bed.
Heavy-Duty Performance
The Chevrolet Colorado can tow up to 7,700 pounds and has a payload capacity of around 1,610 lbs – and with strong acceleration, you won’t have to worry about a heavier load slowing you down.

How to Purchase a Chevrolet Colorado for Your Business
Purchasing a truck or van for your business involves several key steps to ensure you get the best vehicle for your needs and budget. After determining vehicle performance requirements – including towing power, off-road capabilities, fuel efficiency, etc. – you’ll need to determine your budget and what’s feasible with your credit score.
Credit scores aren’t just for individuals. Businesses with an EIN (Employer Identification Number) and a bank account in their LLC’s name have credit ratings as well. Their scores are affected by the size and age of the business, their payment history, established trade lines, your risk of failure in your industry and other various factors. There are many benefits to purchasing a truck with an LLC, including added liability protection for you, the business owner and possible tax deductions due to the purchase being for your business.
To make the purchase of one or numerous work vehicles more manageable, businesses can apply for an auto loan from banks, credit unions and dealerships. This can be more difficult to attain if you’re a newer business or if you’re a contractor who needs a work truck but you don’t have a high credit score.
Easterns Automotive, with dealerships in Virginia and Maryland, doesn’t discriminate against credit scores, regardless of whether you’re an individual or a business. It’s the dealership where “Your Job is Your Credit™”. As long as you have a job or as long as your business is established, Easterns Automotive’s financing team will work with lenders to ensure you can obtain competitive auto loan options.
