The pickup segment today are all out wars competing in order to provide the best value proposition to different customers. Well, the boys from The Covenant Car Company, Inc. (TCCCI), the exclusive importer and distributor of Chevrolet vehicles in the country, is finding new ways to be in that game and the arrival of their latest pickup—the Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm—proves its worth and a strong force to be reckoned with in the pickup position.

So here are the Six Things that we definitely love about the new Colorado High Country Storm:

1.) DRESSED TO IMPRESSED. There’s no reason why we can’t dressed up pickup truck. The Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm is no exemption! It has all the elements of what the truck should possessed—sportiness, power, and ruggedness. What’s new about the Colorado High Country Storm is the numerous black accents, which adds to its body’s striking silhouette, most notably with the black rear sport bar outlining the truck bed, on the black anthracite rear bumper, black tailgate and door handles, black rearview mirrors, and black 18-inch alloy wheels. There’s special black hood and body decals that adds to its new form and a real swagger look.

2.) POWERFUL WORKHORSE. Essentially, pickup trucks should have enough power in all aspect. The new Colorado High Country Storm offers best-in-class numbers for horsepower and torque thanks to its 2.8-liter four-cylinder Duramax turbo-diesel engine, which produces a solid 200 horsepower. This pickup can easily hauls 1 ton and can likewise tow up to 3.5 tons! How cool is that? Flooding in the Metro won’t be a problem anymore as this mammoth truck features a class-leading 800-mm water wading capability which inspires confidence when your behind the wheel.

3.) NO ORDINARY INTERIOR. Here’s one special treat for off-road purists.  An elegant interior awaits the driver and passengers of the new Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm. The seats, dash, and bits of trim, are skillfully crafted from premium, high-grade materials, giving users a lux driving experience. Various control toggles are easily accessed without compromising driving safety, adding to the pickup’s ergonomic sensibilities. And a 6-way electronically adjustable driver’s seat ensures that you find the perfect driving position.

Another feature which contributes to the Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm’s premium value proposition is its reduced noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels when inside the cabin. According to Chevy, this new pickup is 8 percent quieter on the road than previous models thanks to its newly designed door, window and windshield seals; front door glass that is 10 percent thicker; and aerodynamic headlamp design.

4.) CONNECTING DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. It’s crucial that every driver should focus on the road while driving. Chevy knows the importance of connectivity without compromising its safety. The new Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm features an 8-inch multi-function touch screen head unit that is equipped with the latest Chevrolet MyLink Infotainment system with multiple smartphone OS compatibility, multimedia functionality, Bluetooth connectivity, SIRI Eyes Free and voice recognition software. This new MyLink Infotainment system is also compatible with Apple CarPlay, which allows you to make calls, read, write, and send text messages, listen to music, and use other applications on your iPhone while being safe and keeping both hands on the wheel. Best of all, the Colorado is the first truck in its category to offer phone integration through Apple CarPlay.

One of the best features that we can see on the Colorado High Country Storm is the remote engine start function that is useful during hot weather. You don’t need to experience the hot temperature when your car is parked outside your house. Through this function, the engine can be started using the key fob, allowing the cabin to be cooled sufficiently before getting inside the vehicle.
