Great for hauling cattle — if you have a ranch - Toronto Star
Mid-sized pickups are a viable alternative for anyone who isn't drywalling a new subdivision or towing the Queen Mary up to the cottage for the weekend. Enter the Chevrolet Colorado, the most up-to-date and refined mid-sized pickup available. But for those whose egos must be reassured by metric tons of surrounding sheet metal, the Colorado (and its sibling, the GMC Canyon) is still a fairly substantial vehicle, with an overall length between 5,385 and 5,690mm, depending on the variation. ) The full-size Silverado is even bigger, the longer versions hitting 20 feet (almost 6,100 mm). Some may see the six-foot bed as a disadvantage — the Colorado won't accommodate the yardstick for cargo, the 4 x 8 sheet of plywood or drywall, but... There's still enough room to haul my motorcycle around if the tailgate is lowered and seriously, the 722kg load capacity and 3180 kg towing limit far exceeds any requirement I've ever had.
