Your kitchen has so much potential! It just needs new granite countertops and a fresh coat of paint on the cabinets. At least the refrigerator—well, that needs to be replaced, too. Let’s leave that closed until you get a new one. The question is: Which truck has the strength to haul these supplies?
Is there anything better than getting everything you need from the hardware store in one trip? It will be well worth loading up that trailer. Luckily, the Honda Ridgeline has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. That kitchen island might take it to its limit, though. Good thing the Chevy Colorado boasts a max towing capacity of 7,700 pounds.
It’s all thanks to the variety of engines available with the Colorado. There are two versions of its 2.7L Turbo engine available, with the optional TurboMax™ 310-horsepower version capable of towing the maximum capacity. The Ridgeline is only available with its standard 280-horsepower V6 engine.
Your tape measure and level are always on your belt, ready to ensure you get the job done right. The Colorado has a similar set of tools to help you make the most of its towing capacity. Features like integrated trailer brake controller and an In-Vehicle Trailering App are only available with this model.
Next stop: the garden center. You’ll need to revive the flower bed under your front window and order a few landscaping stones to accent that big maple tree. Remember to get a birdhouse for the robins you’ve seen flying around. When it comes to loading up the truck bed, the Chevy Colorado and the Honda Ridgeline are ready to bear the weight.
Between the mulch and those stones, there’s a lot to carry. Luckily, the Chevy Colorado has a maximum payload of 1,836 pounds. The Honda Ridgeline tops off at a 1,583-pound max payload. All that extra capacity with the Colorado means you might be able to bring home another sapling for your fence line.
In-bed storage bins and cargo tie-downs are available with both models, so you can stow and go with ease. An EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate, however, is only available with the Chevy Colorado. It gives you extra convenience when you’re climbing in and out with your full load of gear.
You’ve also had a great idea to string accent lights through the trees in your back yard. It will be easy to make sure you have enough with the handy StowFlex Tailgate that’s only available with the Chevy Colorado. It’s perfect when you have a few extra things to stow and keep safe!
You’ve become a self-crowned expert in interior design over the last few months of looking at houses, so finding the truck with an ideal interior should be a piece of cake. Comfort and connectivity are important to you, and the Colorado and the Ridgeline have both in spades.
Is there anything quite like sitting back on your new couch after a long day of DIY projects? You can bring that comfort with you in the Colorado or the Ridgeline. Both models are available with leather-trimmed seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. Ready to cool off after a day of working in the sun? Ventilated front seats are available with each truck.
Your living room is a sight to behold. The accent wall and the fireplace set the scene for your entertainment center. That flat-screen TV is perfect for watching the big game—even one that involves thrones. Your truck should have a large screen, too. The Colorado delivers with its standard 11.3-inch touchscreen. The Ridgeline only comes with a 9-inch display.
Whether you’re looking to stream your favorite tunes while you work or call the store to check on your order before driving across town, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard with both models so you can seamlessly integrate your phone and stay connected on the move.
There’s a lot of work to do, so it’s time to make a decision. The Chevy Colorado clearly has the superior interior, practical features, and all the power you need to turn your new house into your dream home.
