The first question you need to ask yourself is what you plan to do with your truck. For example, if you want a smaller pickup to get you around off-road trails, then you may prefer the more compact 2022 Chevy Colorado that measures 212.7 inches long.
Want to take charge on the highway? The 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the vehicle for you, measuring in at 231.7 inches long. This model also boasts 8.22 inches of ground clearance on its base model, which makes it perfect for rougher worksite conditions. When properly equipped, it can stand taller at 10.88 inches!
On the other hand, the Colorado also shares a standard ground clearance of over eight inches, and can even stand at 10 inches high when equipped with the proper trim. With that being said, both trucks are capable of bumps in the roads or divets on the trails.
Once you’ve determined how you’ll be using your truck, you’re ready to start thinking about power output. Both the Chevy Colorado and Chevy Silverado 1500 have multiple powertrains to offer you, so you’re sure to find the ideal power blend to excite your drives.

One of the coolest features available on both Chevy models is the Turbo-Diesel motor. Diesel fuel is denser than more traditional fuel, causing it to burn slower and last longer. So, if you’re looking to boost efficiency, consider either one of these engines in the Colorado or Silverado 1500.
Typically, more power equals a brawnier tow. Since the Chevy Colorado has plenty of muscle under the hood, you’ll be able to haul a maximum of 7,700 pounds when properly equipped, which is perfect for carrying the following:
- A small recreational boat for a relaxing morning on the river
- A water ski boat for thrilling excursions on the lake
- A lightweight camper for a weekend getaway
- A heavily loaded utility trailer for building materials and tools
- A lawn mower for your lawncare business
However, if you need to tow a 25-foot-long camper or a 2-horse trailer, then you’ll want to select the Chevy Silverado 1500 with its 13,300-pound maximum towing capacity.
Now it’s time to answer one final question: Which truck is right for you? The answer lies in your specific New Hudson, Detroit, and Westland, MI needs. Whether you select the Chevy Colorado or Silverado 1500, you can schedule a test drive at Feldman Chevrolet of New Hudson to learn more.
