2018 Holden Colorado

Built for Sunshine Coast tradies, contractors, rural operators and adventure-minded buyers who need a strong Dual Cab workhorse with the flexibility of a fitted tray and genuine off-road capability.

The Colorados 2.8L Duramax four-cylinder turbo-diesel delivers a muscular 147kW and 500Nm, giving you plenty of low-down strength for loaded driving, steep climbs and highway overtaking. Matched to a 6-speed automatic, its equally comfortable travelling between Sunshine Coast job sites or settling into a longer run with plenty of gear aboard.

When theres something substantial to bring along, the Colorado is ready with an impressive 3,500kg braked towing capacity and up to 350kg maximum towball download. Trailer Sway Control adds extra reassurance, making it a capable partner for work trailers, boats, campers and caravans.

Selectable dual-range four-wheel drive gives the Colorado the hardware needed when worksites become muddy or weekend tracks get challenging. Add approximately 215mm of ground clearance, a limited-slip differential, Hill Descent Control and up to 600mm wading capability, and youve got a ute thats ready to venture well beyond sealed Sunshine Coast roads.

The five-seat Dual Cab lets you bring the crew or family along while the fitted tray provides the flexibility needed for tools, materials, equipment and bulky weekend gear. The factory Cab Chassis carries a payload rating of around 1,230kg before the weight of the fitted tray and accessories is deducted, giving it an excellent foundation for demanding work duties.

The LS keeps you connected with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, DAB+ digital radio and a six-speaker audio system. Cruise control adds comfort on longer journeys, while seven airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, Rollover Stability Control, Hill Start Assist and a 5-star ANCAP safety rating provide welcome reassurance on workdays and weekends alike.
