The Colorado Trail Build
A 2023 Colorado on a 3" lift with 33" tires, a bed rack and a soft cover — a balanced ZR2-style trail truck that's equally happy commuting.
Based on a Chevrolet Colorado
The spec sheet
| Truck | 2023 Chevrolet Colorado |
|---|---|
| Built for | Run desert two-track and rocky trails with real travel and 33s, keep it tidy enough to daily, and carry gear in a covered bed. |
| Lift / stance | 3" lift |
| Tires | 33x10.50R17 · 33.0" diameter |
| Wheels | 17x8.5 · -6 mm |
| Cover | Soft roll-up tonneau |
| Bed | 5 ft |
Why it's built this way
- 3" of lift and 33s match the factory ZR2 footprint while keeping the truck daily-friendly.
- A narrow 10.5"-wide 33 keeps steering effort and rubbing down versus a wide 33.
- A bed rack over a soft cover carries spares and gear without losing dry storage.
