“Colorado is an all-new midsize pickup that offers truck customers great versatility and great value,” says Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager. “It will also have strong appeal for people who know they want a truck, but want one that is easier to maneuver in traffic and easier to park at work or at home.”
