9th Place: Chevrolet Colorado

  

The Colorado is not only a mediocre midsize crew-cab pickup truck, but also unsuitable for carrying six safety-belted passengers. For obvious reasons, it drives like a truck; it rides stiffly and handles more clumsily than most of the others here, and is noisy and slow without a fuel savings; the interior is of poor quality even for its class, and the seats are low and poorly shaped. Furthermore, the cramped rear seat makes even holding three occupants uncomfortable, much less the fourth, fifth, and sixth. The center-rear position is virtually unusable for adults, and the center-front position is virtually unusable even for children. The Colorado offers quite a bit of cargo room, but in its uncovered pickup bed. Inside, the rear seat flips up in one piece to accommodate some cargo behind the front, but there is no interior space behind it when it is in use.

 

The Colorado is a decent work truck in base form, but it fails as any sort of on-road passenger-hauler.
