MakerSource: 2018 Chevrolet Colorado Specifications (GM media site, specifications tab)

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

02 / What changed

New for 2018

The 2018 Colorado against the 2017, the previous model year we hold. Only what Chevrolet’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

No retail configuration added or dropped: the 16 sold in the 2017 are all here.
Payload: up to 1,492–1,574 lb (2017: up to 1,100–1,574 lb).
Same range as the 2017: towing, curb weight and length.

The 2018 documents

2 documents behind the 2018 Colorado’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.

Documents last checked Oct 9, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.

These are Chevrolet’s published figures for the models it describes, not a weighbridge or a tape measure; your own vehicle’s options change them. Found a figure that doesn’t match the document? Tell us.
