Has the 2015 Chevy Colorado been biding its time at the middle-management level of off-road prowess, just waiting for the opportunity to move to the (outdoor) executive suite? Puzzled by this weird mashup of corporate-talk and pickup trucks? So are we, but that's where the newest edition of Chevy's mid-size truck has led us: Meet the Colorado Z71 Trail Boss.
Starting with the already well-equipped Z71 package, the Trail Boss adds a dash of factory-spec off-road ability without entering the hard-core territory of much larger trucks like the Ford Raptor and the Ram Power Wagon. The Trail Boss wears 265/65 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires on 17-inch aluminum wheels with painted gray pockets. Black fender flares and blacked-out bowtie logos continue the darkened theme.
The Trail Boss brings with it an auto-locking rear diff, front tow hooks, a spray-in bedliner, projector headlights, a set of fog lights, and tubular side steps. Four-wheel-drive models get a transfer-case skid plate, but the package can be selected on 2WD models for all of your pre-runner fantasies.

The $3320 package is available with your choice of a four-cylinder and V-6 engine, extended cab or crew cab body style, and with either of the two available bed lengths. Sure, it's no Raptor, and neither is it a third as bad-ass as the Colorado ZR2 concept from last fall, which packed Duramax turbo-diesel power and some super-aggressive bumpers and rolling stock. But if all you're looking for is a slight bump in off-roadability and you're not interested in the hulking full-size pickups, it would seem to be worth a look.
