Lucas Chevrolet · South Jersey
Colorado standard power, Crew Cab utility and everyday comfort in the midsize pickup class.
The 2027 Chevrolet Colorado gives South Jersey truck buyers 350 hp as standard equipment, an 11.3-inch center touchscreen and a five-seat Crew Cab across the range. Against the 2026 Toyota Tacoma, the Colorado makes that engine-and-cabin combination the starting point, with comfort and off-road equipment added by model.
The Colorado is our pick for a buyer who wants a passenger cabin and a useful open bed in one midsize truck. Its TurboMax delivers 350 hp and 450 lb-ft without a higher-output trim requirement. LT adds StowFlex and daily comfort equipment, while Trail Boss and ZR2 take the truck toward different trail roles. Lucas Chevrolet offers Colorado trucks and test drives for that mix of commuting, hauling and recreation.
| Every 2027 Colorado has 350 hp and an eight-speed automatic. |
| The 2026 Tacoma i-FORCE makes up to 278 hp; its available i-FORCE MAX hybrid makes 326 hp. |
| Colorado includes an 11.3-inch touchscreen; Tacoma has an eight-inch standard screen and a fourteen-inch available screen. |
| Colorado uses a five-seat Crew Cab and short box; Tacoma offers XtraCab or DoubleCab with five- or six-foot beds. |
This matchup pairs the 2026 Tacoma with the 2027 Colorado. Lucas Chevrolet sells and services the Colorado on Route 38, giving Cherry Hill shoppers a local place to drive the truck and handle the ownership side.
Colorado starts with the 2.7L TurboMax, producing 350 hp and 450 lb-ft through an eight-speed automatic. The Crew Cab seats five, and the cargo box holds 41.9 cubic feet.
The standard screen layout places an 11-inch Driver Information Center ahead of the driver and an 11.3-inch touchscreen in the center. Available StowFlex tailgate storage, bed lighting and a 120-volt outlet extend the truck’s utility. The Colorado overview connects those features with everyday use around Burlington and the I-295 commute.
The 2026 Tacoma offers a 2.4L i-FORCE turbocharged engine with up to 278 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque.
An eight-speed automatic serves automatic-equipped models, and a six-speed manual is available on selected i-FORCE versions. These are different body and equipment combinations within the Toyota lineup, rather than features fitted to every version.
Colorado’s standard 350-hp output puts substantial engine power at the entry point. Tacoma’s gasoline i-FORCE output varies by version, and the available hybrid has its own power and torque figures. The table separates the gasoline and hybrid systems so those scopes remain clear.
| Powertrain item | 2027 Colorado TurboMax | 2026 Tacoma i-FORCE | 2026 Tacoma i-FORCE MAX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine format | 2.7L turbo inline-four | 2.4L turbo inline-four | 2.4L turbo hybrid |
| Horsepower | 350 hp, standard across the lineup | Up to 278 hp | 326 hp |
| Torque | 450 lb-ft | Up to 317 lb-ft | 465 lb-ft |
| Transmission | Eight-speed automatic | Eight-speed automatic; six-speed manual available on selected models | Eight-speed automatic |
| Availability | Every Colorado model | Gasoline Tacoma versions | Available on selected Tacoma models |
A Colorado WT or LT already has the 350-hp engine. That is a useful foundation for the driver whose week combines a Marlton commute with weekend hauling: the equipment choice can stay focused on the cabin, bed and driveline. The Colorado trim ladder shows what each price step adds.
When properly equipped, a non-ZR2 Colorado Crew Cab with the 2.7L TurboMax and Trailering Package is rated for a maximum 7,700 lbs of conventional towing. ZR2 and Bison have their own ratings. The Colorado towing page carries the complete package, tongue-weight and combined-weight figures.
That gives the passenger layout and main screen a consistent starting point. Tacoma’s XtraCab and DoubleCab choices, and its standard or available screen sizes, follow a different lineup structure.
| Cabin / technology item | 2027 Colorado | 2026 Tacoma |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger-body format | Five-seat Crew Cab across the lineup | XtraCab or DoubleCab by model |
| Cargo-box choice | Short box; 61.70-inch floor | Five- or six-foot bed by version |
| Center touchscreen | 11.3 inches standard | Eight inches standard; fourteen inches available |
| Phone connection | Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility | Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto |
| Cargo utility example | Available StowFlex drainable tailgate storage | Composite bed; equipment varies by version |
The Colorado cabin has 45.17 inches of front legroom and 34.70 inches in the second row. For Delran owners with family passengers and project supplies, the cabin handles the people while the bed keeps the larger load outside.
The StowFlex compartment is useful for smaller outdoor items beside the open load area. A bedliner, tie-downs and lighting address different parts of cargo use. Colorado dimensions and equipment put the bed’s volume, narrowest floor width and passenger measurements together without turning cargo space into a weight rating.
Colorado WT begins at $33,500 before destination and options. That starting price includes the Crew Cab, TurboMax engine and standard digital displays. Custom begins at $34,645, LT at $36,900, Trail Boss at $41,600, Z71 at $45,800 and ZR2 at $50,800.
MSRP excludes destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees, and optional equipment. Dealer sets final price.
| Colorado starting point | MSRP | What that equipment direction buys |
|---|---|---|
| WT | $33,500 | Crew Cab, full TurboMax output and standard displays |
| LT | $36,900 | Cabin comfort, Remote Start and StowFlex |
| Trail Boss | $41,600 | 4WD, factory lift and two-speed transfer case |
| Z71 | $45,800 | All-terrain tires, LED lighting and passenger-seat equipment |
| ZR2 | $50,800 | DSSV dampers and front/rear electronic locking differentials |
The value in Colorado is the engine and passenger body included before the comfort and trail steps begin. A buyer moving between work supplies and ordinary road travel gets that base capability in WT. An LT buyer adds convenience around the same engine. Our Colorado models and pricing hub connects the complete ownership topics.
Colorado’s 350 hp is standard throughout the lineup. Colorado puts its engine output into WT as well as the upper models, so the buyer chooses additional equipment around a shared powertrain.
Tacoma offers multiple cab bodies and an eight-inch standard center screen. For Turnersville drivers buying a passenger truck with an open bed, the Colorado starts with that cabin-and-display arrangement already included.
StowFlex adds a drainable tailgate compartment, and it is standard on LT, Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2. The 41.9-cubic-foot open bed handles the larger equipment. On outdoor trips near the Rancocas Creek area, that split gives wet gear and smaller items separate places from the passengers.
Trail Boss supplies a two-inch factory lift and a two-speed transfer case. ZR2 adds DSSV dampers and electronic lockers at both axles. Lucas Chevrolet also offers Colorado maintenance and service for the normal schedule and more frequent trailer use, keeping the ownership connection close to the purchase.
| Your truck role | Colorado choice | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Daily road travel and an open bed | LT | Standard StowFlex, heated front seats and Remote Start |
| Work-first cabin and cargo use | WT | Shared TurboMax output at the entry price |
| Low-range trail driving | Trail Boss | Two-speed transfer case and factory lift |
| Dedicated suspension and traction hardware | ZR2 | DSSV dampers and front/rear electronic lockers |
Westville shoppers can choose cabin convenience, work equipment or trail hardware within the same Colorado lineup. The short-box Crew Cab keeps the midsize passenger-and-bed layout consistent.
