This is because the excellent ride and handling—like every other aspect of the Colorado—is hugely versatile with a wide range of choices specially designed to meet your precise needs. The Chevy Colorado comes in three distinct suspension systems designed to meet particular needs. At the core of each suspension system, however, is the same great core features that provide the foundation for the Colorado’s superb ride and handling. To begin, the Colorado is manufactured with a strong body-on-frame design that is fully boxed. This results in a solid and highly tough platform for the Colorado that forms the foundation for its excellent suspension.The Colorado allows for excellent steering and control with its power-assisted rack-and-pinion system. Next, the Colorado’s standard 4-wheel ABS brakes provide great breaking and control along with the standard StabiliTrak Stability Control System. The StabiliTrak system automatically engages the Colorado’s braking and traction control systems to correct any over or under steering. The G80 automatic rear locking differential is available on the Colorado and offers unparalleled traction control that prevents slipping. And the Colorado’s tuned body mounts greatly reduce ride noise. Every suspension system for the Colorado also includes: an independent front suspension and a rear solid live axel.The three specific suspension options for the Colorado are the Z85, Z71 and ZQ8 suspensions. The Z85 suspension is standard base-level suspension system offers great all-around handling suitable for a wide variety of applications. The Z71 suspension system includes specifically-valved shocks, front torsion bars, urethane jounce bumpers and raises the Colorado’s ride height by one inch. This suspension system is a time-tested excellent set-up for off-road use. The final suspension system is the ZQ8 Sports Suspension. It is significantly stiffer than the other suspensions and also has a lower ride height. This allows the ZQ8 to deliver more precise handling.The available customization options for the Colorado are immense.
