Chevy trucks have a history of long-lasting durability and versatility, whether on the job or a night of dining in Lincoln. You know you want a Chevy truck from Sid Dillon. It’s just a matter of deciding what truck’s best for you – the 2020 mid-size Chevy Colorado or the full-size light duty Chevy Silverado. Let’s compare the two models.

Curb Weight
Knowing how much truck you need is the first question, and it often comes down to size. If you’re going to use your truck for hauling and towing, a full-size is likely the better option. The smaller size and sportier features of a mid-size are great for occasional off-roading while still being capable of towing smaller loads like RVs and boats from Omaha to your favorite places to reconnect with nature.
The Chevy Colorado can tow a maximum of 3,500 pounds, while the Silverado can tow up to 7,900 pounds. Some other important measurements:
The Chevy Colorado has an MSRP starting at $21,300 to give you truck features at a lower price. The Chevy Silverado, starting at $28,300, can be seen as a work truck investment, while the higher trim packages turn it into a luxury vehicle.
A mid-size truck is less expensive to operate on the streets of Fremont and Blair. With a 575-pound difference in their curb weights, the lighter Chevy Colorado’s 200-hp engine is just right. Its combined gas mileage is 22 mpg, significantly better than the Silverado at 17 mpg with its 285-hp engine. However, what the Silverado lacks in fuel efficiency it compensates in towing and hauling capacity, and the rugged capabilities that are sometimes necessary during the Columbus winter.
