The eight-speed automatic transmission comes standard and when combined with the high-pressure direct fuel injection, electronic throttle control, and other fuel-saving technology, the 3.6L delivers a class-competitive EPA rating of 16/18 mpg city/highway/combined. Compared to the V-6, the 2.8L I-4 Turbo-Diesel lacks the horsepower but makes it up in both torque and fuel economy. With 186 hp and 369 lb.-ft. torque, the I-4 Turbo-Diesel is EPA rated at 18/22 mpg and backed by a common rail direct fuel injection delivery. The valvetrain consists of dual-overhead camshafts with four valves per cylinder and comes mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. When it comes to towing, the Colorado ZR2 has your back. With a max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, and a payload of 1,100 pounds for both the 6'2" extended cab box and the 5'2" crew cab box, standard trailering package and integrated trailer brake controller allow for safer towing. The new Colorado ZR2 has Multimatic's famed Dynamic suspension system in-line with off-road adventure seekers in mind. The front suspension features an independent coil-over-shock with Multimatic Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve (DSSV TM ) dampers and segment-exclusive front locking differential. The rear suspension includes a modified rear axle with a 3.42 ratio and rear locking differential, suspended by semi-elliptic two-stage multi-leaf springs.
