Well, here’s the Chevrolet Colorado GearOn without Gear on – Use your imagination?
After huge blowouts and major news announcements at NAIAS in Detroit, automakers sometimes scramble to come up with some news for the Chicago Auto Show, which remains an important consumer venue. Such is the case of the 2015 Colorado GearOn Special Edition that makes its public debut Feb. 13-22 at CAS.
The Colorado GearOn package, it’s claimed, is designed with mounting accessories for bikes, kayaks, skis and stand-up paddle boards and a bed-mounted tent. It goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $31,250, gulp, on LT models in extended or crew cab versions with the long or short cargo bed and, yes, optional 4WD.
Many of the GearOn accessories can be mounted on upper rails, leaving room in the bed below for more stuff. You can also do this a la carte on other Colorado models.
The Colorado GearOn Special Edition includes the GearOn bars package, divider package and cargo tie-down rings. Additional GearOn accessories can be purchased separately and can be installed at the time of delivery, possibly with installation charges added. The cost of the accessories can be included in monthly vehicle payments, if they are chosen before taking delivery.
The Colorado GearOn Special Edition also includes:
• EZ Lift and Lower tailgate
• Off-road assist steps
• Gloss black 18-inch aluminum wheels
• Body-color grille
• Front and rear black Chevy bowtie emblems
• Front fog lamps
• Rear window defogger
• Remote start.
