CHEVROLET TRUCKS THROUGHOUT CONNECTICUT
Everyone knows that trucks are your best bet for handling anything that the wild and sometimes unpredictable weather in New England can throw at you. From the blizzards and cold of the winters to the sweltering heat of the summer months. There is no better vehicle better equipped to handle all things that region of the country throws at its residents than a good pickup truck. And when it comes to pick up trucks, there is no better brand than Chevrolet. From the very capable and popular mid-sized Colorado to the most well-known and best selling Silverado. Chevrolet pick up trucks have Connecticut drivers, especially in and around the Waterbury and Watertown area covered.

THE CHEVROLET COLORADO
When it comes to mid-sized pickup trucks, the market does not provide a large number of options as the full size market does. While you will find two options from import manufacturers, Chevrolet is America's mid-sized truck champion with the Chevrolet Colorado truck. The Colorado has an amazing amount of options to choose from which means that you truly can make it your own. It's also the only truck in it's class to offer a diesel engine in America right now.
The Chevrolet Colorado comes standard with a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine that pumps out 200 horsepower and 191ft-lbs of torque. It's the perfect engine if you need a smaller truck to haul small loads around town. It's perfect for the weekend warrior who needs to transport mulch from the gardening store or helping someone move. Even with the smaller engine you still get an amazing amount of options at a fantastic price. You'll get (with certain trim levels) included 4G LTE WiFi, Apple Carplay/ Android Auto as well as Chevrolet MyLink to keep you connected to your playlists and hands free caling.
Though, for some, the 4 cylinder simply won't cut it, they need more power, more capability. Thankfully, the Colorado delivers! You have a choice between a 3.6L V6 engine that gets an impressive 308 Horsepower while maintaining 25MPG on the highway! This is perfect for that performance truck and the driver who needs that extra get up and go from their truck. Although, if you need to do some towing, the Colorado has you covered as well with it's 2.8L turbo-diesel engine. It's got a best in class towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs, as well as 369 lb-ft of torque (also best in it's class) and some of the best fuel economy a truck of this stature can produce with 22MPG in the city and 30MPG on the highway. Truly impressive numbers
With so many Chevrolet dealers throughout the state, it can be tough to choose where to purchase your Colorado. Well, if you are located anywhere within the vicinity of Waterbury or Watertown Connecticut and you're looking for the best possible place to purchase your Chevrolet Colorado, your best bet is to drive north to Torrington and visit Northwest Hills Chevrolet. We keep an impressive inventory of Colorado trucks and with the help of one of our skilled and educated sales people, you can customize it to your liking!
THE KING OF PICKUP TRUCKS - THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO
But perhaps, the Colorado is too small for you and your family. Or maybe the 7,700lbs of towing capacity simply isn't enough for your needs.Â
In the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you can acquire on with the brand's workhorse 5.3L V8 engine with an impressive 11,000 lbs of towing capability while still achieving 24MPG on the highway. Need a bit more towing strength without sacrificing too much in the way of fuel economy? Look no further than adding the 6.2L V8 engine to your Silverado 1500. You'll be capable of towing up to 12,500lbs while still getting 21MPG on the highway. Chevrolet V8s get some of the most impressive fuel economy out there today.
But lets just say that 12,500lbs isn't enough for your needs. That's right, you have horse trailers and campers to move, or your hauling some serious machinery to your next worksite job. If that sounds like you Chevrolet also has you covered with either the Silverado 2500 or Silverado 3500 models of trucks. If there's one thing Chevrolet understands, it's the needs of those who have serious things to pull. Not just along the highway at a nice cruising speed, we're talking hauling heavy things up hills and gravel roads. You know, the stuff that isn't easy!?
Both of the next level up Silverado trucks have you covered with powerful engines, capable to getting the job done! While Chevrolet's Vortec 6.0L V8 can get most things accomplished with its 380 lb-ft of torque, it's the brand's flagship engine that really gets it done! That's right, the 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel engine fitted to either a Silverado 2500 or 3500 will tow just about anything you don't need a semi-truck for. Its pumping out an ultra impressive 910 lb-ft of torque at only 1600rpm. THAT'S POWER!! And depending on your vehicle of choice, the Silverado will tow up to 23,300lbs!
Now THAT is impressive capability. So perhaps the Silverado is more your cup of tea (or mug of black coffee). Regardless of whether you need that little extra something that the Colorado doesn't have, or you're hauling serious weight. There really is no better truck suited for the job and suited for the area than the Silverado. But where can you find the absolute best selection of the Silverado trucks that are right for you and your needs? Situated just a short drive north of Waterbury Connecticut you'll find one of the Connecticut's best Chevrolet dealer's; Northwest Hills Chevrolet in Torrington.
