The Perfect Maine Midsize: 2020 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 at Emerson Chevrolet
In Maine, we don’t just drive our trucks; we rely on them. From navigating the early morning slush on Center Street to hauling gear for a weekend at the camp, your truck has to be a jack-of-all-trades. At Emerson Chevrolet in Auburn, we’ve seen plenty of pickups come through our lot since 1963, but the 2020 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Crew Cab 4WD remains a staff and customer favorite for a very simple reason: it’s the right size for the right job.
This isn’t just a pre-owned truck; it’s a Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) powerhouse that bridges the gap between a daily commuter and a rugged off-roader. Powered by the proven 3.6L V6, this Colorado Z71 is ready to prove that you don’t need a full-size footprint to get full-size results.
True to our Hassle-Free since ’63 promise, let’s dive into why this midsize legend belongs in your driveway.
V6 Power: The 3.6L Performance Standard
While the Colorado offers several engine choices, the 3.6L DOHC V6 is widely considered the "sweet spot" for Maine drivers. It offers the perfect blend of high-end horsepower and low-end grunt.
- Output: A robust 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque.
- Transmission: Paired with a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission.
- Capability: When properly equipped, this V6 Colorado can tow up to 7,000 lbs. Whether you have a boat, a pair of snowmobiles, or a utility trailer full of cordwood, the Colorado pulls with confidence.
What makes this engine stand out in Auburn is its responsiveness. The 8-speed transmission is tuned to keep you in the power band, making it feel quick on its feet when you’re merging onto I-95 or passing on a two-lane backroad.
Z71: The Off-Road Heritage
The Z71 badge isn't just a sticker on the bedside; it’s a comprehensive suspension and performance package designed to take you where the pavement ends. In Maine, where "off-road" can sometimes just mean "my driveway in March," the Z71 features are essential.
The Z71 Off-Road Package includes:
- Z71 Off-Road Suspension: Specifically tuned shocks and hardware to soak up bumps on logging roads or potholes on city streets.
- Automatic Locking Rear Differential: This is a game-changer. If one rear wheel loses traction in the mud or snow, the diff automatically locks to send power to both wheels, pushing you forward.
- Transfer Case Shield: Extra protection for the vital "guts" of your 4WD system when you're navigating rocky terrain.
- Hill Descent Control: Think of this as "cruise control for downhills." It manages your braking on steep, slippery grades so you can focus entirely on steering.
The Interior: Rugged Meets Refined
Step inside the Crew Cab, and you’ll find that Chevrolet has mastered the "mobile office" feel. The 2020 Colorado Z71 features a cabin that is durable enough for work boots but comfortable enough for a road trip to the coast.
- Heated Front Seats & Steering Wheel: We don’t have to tell you how valuable these are on a -5°F morning in Auburn.
- Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus: Featuring an 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen with a crisp, intuitive interface.
- Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: Plug in your phone and your apps—Maps, Spotify, Messages—are mirrored right on the screen.
- Quietness: Chevrolet’s use of thick windshield glass, triple-sealed doors, and liquid-applied sound deadener makes the Colorado one of the quietest midsize trucks on the market.
The Certified Pre-Owned Advantage
Buying a used truck can sometimes feel like a gamble, but at Emerson Chevrolet, we take the risk out of the equation. This Colorado Z71 has earned its Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned status, which means it has passed a rigorous 172-point inspection by our factory-trained technicians.
Your CPO benefits include:
- 6-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.
- 12-Month/12,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty.
- $0 Deductible for covered repairs.
- Free Vehicle History Report: Total transparency on the truck’s past.
- 24/7 Roadside Assistance: We’re there for you if you ever run out of gas or get a flat.
When you drive a CPO Colorado off our lot at 946 Center Street, you aren't just getting a truck; you’re getting the peace of mind that it has been vetted to the highest standards.
Utility Built for Maine
The Colorado is packed with clever features that make life easier. The CornerStep Rear Bumper provides an easy way to hop into the bed, even with the tailgate up. The EZ Lift & Lower Tailgate uses an internal torsion bar to prevent the tailgate from slamming down, making it easy to operate with one hand when your other hand is full of gear.
With the 4WD system, you have the flexibility of Auto 2WD, 4-High, and 4-Low. The "Auto" mode is particularly useful for Maine’s "mixed" weather days—it stays in 2WD for efficiency but automatically engages 4WD the moment it detects a slippery patch of road.
