Be that as it may, pickup trucks are most common in the United States. Moreover, America is their homeland.

The history of the car began with a banal idea. The developers of the Chevrolet company (the pickup truck glorified this particular concern) decided to create a small vehicle for transporting bulk cargo. A body was installed on the chassis. Both the employees and the management of the company liked this model, so it was decided to start assembling a new car on the assembly line.

After a successful start of sales, the new transport became the best friend in agriculture, helping the farmer to carry heavy materials and tools. Over time, Chevrolet pickups have become family cars.

First generation: Chevrolet Colorado Extended Cab

The car, depending on the configuration, has rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The assembly was carried out for 8 years from 2004 to 2012. The pickup was the fruit of the imagination of Isuzu and General Motors. To please buyers, the basic package includes almost everything necessary for a safe ride: an improved brake system, stabilization, two airbags and an additional package. The latter contains air conditioning, niches, drawers. Different model options include different units with different power.

Assembly adjusted inThailand and USA. Throughout its existence, Chevrolet pickups of this line have been constantly used in commercials, used in filming films, as well as in the police. The car was awarded 5 stars for safety.

Second generation: Chevrolet Colorado Extended Cab

The car from Chevrolet was created on the basis of the General Motors platform. The pickup has a medium size, full (rear) drive. The second generation entered the market in 2011. Assembly is carried out in Thailand and America.

Chevrolet pickups of the Colorado line is a modern car, but when creating it, engineers used a lot of non-standard solutions. Thanks to the special suspension, the car is easy to hold on turns, has a good level of ride comfort and handling.

The interior is made of fabric and leather, there are chrome trims and parts made to look like aluminum. Inside the car there are small niches in which you can put any small things. There are about 30 of them in total.

First generation: Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab

American "Chevrolet" can be said to have been able to bring a new pickup truck to the world. In 2004, a new model was added to the company's lineup. It was produced until 2012, after the second generation was released.

Chevrolet pickups under the name "Colorado" were created on the GMT355 platform. It was also used in the development of the Hammer. The basic version of the Cru Cub included an anti-lock braking system, dynamic stabilization, airbagssecurity.

The car was produced with engines on:

• 2, 8 l;
• 2.5L;
• 3, 7 L:
• 5, 3 y.

In America, a car is not considered the safest. It is not much different from other pickups in technical terms, but the tuning failed a little. The machine has been awarded 3 stars for reliability.

Second generation: Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab

The second generation of the Cru Cub was introduced in 2011 in Bangkok by Chevrolet. The pickup has noticeably changed, styling has acquired new features. The technical side has also been improved. Due to the fact that the suspension with two-level adjustment was installed, the car became the most comfortable. The basic equipment has a special ABS system, stabilization and braking technology, front airbags are also installed.

There is a special bench behind the driver's back. It can accommodate several passengers. Fabric is used for upholstery; leather - only in one of the complete sets. The niches that are in the pickup are installed throughout the car: there are no more than 30 of them.

Chevrolet Colorado Regular Cab

Together with Isuzu, General Motors developed a new pickup truck "Regular Cub" of the "Colorado" series. Sales began in 2004 under the Chevrolet brand. Pickups (photos of which are presented in the article) of this line immediately became famous due to their small size, increased comfort and suspension.

More than once the model succumbed to facelift, but it cannot be said that the extern althe data has changed too much. The bumper, grilles from the radiator and some elements in the cabin have changed.

Under the hood is a 2.9 liter unit. Pickup truck power - 185 horsepower. Assembly is carried out in Thailand and the United States in Louisiana. The car was awarded 5 stars in safety tests.

Chevrolet Niva (pickup)

Most Nivs are expensive cars in terms of fuel use. Approximately 11 liters are consumed per 100 km. It is necessary to remember one nuance: quite recently, the Niva had the name VAZ-2123. And it was then that a model with a pickup body was produced. At that time, there were practically no such cars on Russian roads, so on the highway you could often see Volga, Zhiguli, etc., stuffed with bags and other goods. This problem was solved by Niva.

The advantage of the car was that it was easy to open and close, placed in a huge number of items and fixtures. However, the history of the Russian assembly ended quickly enough: the American concern General Motors bought the rights to both the pickup truck and the brand itself. The Niva did not manage to enter the mass sale. Replaced it with a new SUV from Chevrolet.
