Chevrolet Colorado Chassis Cab Debuts

by Derek Kreindler

Published: March 4th, 2015

For those who must have a chassis cab in something smaller than a full-size truck, Chevrolet’s got you covered.

Available in two-wheel drive V6 format, the Colorado chassis cab can be ordered by checking the box for the ZW9 package. At around $300 less than the equivalent truck with a bed, the chassis cab gets you comes with a set of temporary taillights mounted to the frame ends, a full-size spare, a Z82 trailer package and a limited-slip differential. Payload is set at 2,000 lbs.

Why, when you have fully enclosed Transit Connect and somesuch. This is an ISIS special - easy for mounting machine guns and prisoner cages. Plus secure RPG storage in the back of the cab. Except that ISIS uses Japanese trucks.

  Stumpaster - there has been some ISIS publicity because they have been using USA HD pickups. Someone has been buying them legally and shipping them to the Middle East where ISIS is using them. A Plumbers truck with his company name still on the door has caused a lot of controversy. http://overpassesforamerica.com/?p=3016

  @Lou_BC That-is-hilarious. Thanks for the link. If someone could get the VIN of this truck, you could probably piece together who bought it at auction and shipped it. I'd be curious to know if it was a shell company or simply a incredulous exporter.

  @Lou_BC I figured most of them were shipped courtesy of the Army...We outfitted the Iraqi police agencies with a ton of super duty Fords. They probably left the keys in when they dropped their guns and ran off.

  28-Cars-Later - I felt sorry for the guy who used to own the truck. He got all sorts of threats and hate mail due to it. People are too stupid to figure out that the guy had nothing to do with it ending up overseas.

  @Lou_BC How hard is it to peel the lettering off a truck when you trade it? I don't want my name, logo or even my phone # on the side once whothehellknows is driving it. It can only end badly.

  @mkirk Not the US Army,Someone has bought these as a bulk purchase from a used car dealer and shipped them to Turkey, from there to Syria . Lot cheaper than buying a new L70 Toyota

This sentence is in need of an editor "At around $300 less than the equivalent truck with a bed, the chassis cab gets you comes with a set of temporary taillights mounted to the frame ends, a full-size spare, a Z82 trailer package and a limited-slip differential. Payload is set at 2,000 lbs." The specific part I'm talking about is "the chassis cab gets you comes with a set" huh? I think you need to delete 'comes with'

Lorenzo Yes, they can recover from the Ghosn-led corporate types who cheapened vehicles in the worst ways, including quality control. In the early to mid-1990s Nissan had efficient engines, and reliable drivetrains in well-assembled, fairly durable vehicles. They can do it again, but the Japanese government will have to help Nissan extricate itself from the "Alliance". It's too bad Japan didn't have a George Washington to warn about entangling alliances!
Slavuta Nissan + profitability = cheap crap
ToolGuy Why would they change the grille?
Oberkanone Nissan proved it can skillfully put new frosting on an old cake with Frontier and Z. Yet, Nissan dealers are so broken they are not good at selling the Frontier. Z production is so minimal I've yet to see one. Could Nissan boost sales? Sure. I've heard Nissan plans to regain share at the low end of the market. Kicks, Versa and lower priced trims of their mainstream SUV's. I just don't see dealerships being motivated to support this effort. Nissan is just about as exciting and compelling as a CVT.
ToolGuy Anyone who knows, is this the (preliminary) work of the Ford Skunk Works?
