The Redline is a first-ever series that Chevy introduced for its 2018 lineup of vehicles. Named for the eponymous stripes on the inside of each rim and other red details across the body, these vehicles are notorious head-turners. But it's not just the unique look that makes them a popular option for drivers who like style — particularly for those who prefer a utility-focused truck like the Colorado. These are some of the specs, performance features, and other benefits that make the 2018 Chevy Colorado Redline exceptional. Exterior Accents The first thing you can expect and will likely notice from these vehicles is the exterior design. A few touches are exclusive to these models. Red accents more line the interior of rims and can be seen on the body, such as with the red front tow hooks on the Colorado. These trucks also sport signature black wheels and black grilles and bowties, which makes already powerful rides like the 2018 Chevy Colorado look even faster and more dominating. Perks of the Colorado The Redline enhancements are available for the Chevy Colorado, which is a highly-rated pickup with very competitive specs. Most notably, the Colorado has a high towing capacity. The bed length can also be configured to a maximum length of 74 inches, depending on the exact build. Exclusive to the LT If you want a Redline Series Colorado, you have to build the LT trim. This is the mid-level of five trims Highlights of the LT include:17-inch wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an 8-inch color touch screen. A 3-6-liter V-6 is the standard engine on the LT. This gets 308 horsepower and delivers 275 pound-feet of torque. Four-wheel drive is also standard. Also, your upgrade to the Redline Edition package will include power-adjustable seat controls, projector headlamps, and single-zone automatic climate control, among other features. Customizations for Your Chevy Truck The Redline Edition is only available on the LT trim of the Chevy Colorado. However, you still have a few choices for how you configure the vehicle. First, you can pick a crew cab, short box or one of the two long box options — an extended cab or crew cab. The short box is 61.7 inches, and the long boxes are 74.7 inches. You can also pick either two-wheel or four-wheel drive and one of three engines: a 2.5-liter I-4, a 3.6-liter V-6, or a 2.8-liter Turbo-Diesel I-4. Note that certain powertrains are exclusive to certain builds. For example, if you want a Turbo-Diesel I-4 on the extended cab, you must build a four-wheel-drive Colorado. The Redline Edition encompasses a range of Chevy vehicles, including its trucks, cars, crossovers, and SUVs. You can get an idea of the look from the manufacturer's website, but these vehicles are best experienced in person. There's no better way to see how the urban-inspired design makes such a difference to already popular Chevy models. Check out some of the Redline Editions in person, including the newest Chevy Colorados, at Burien Chevrolet. Image via Chevrolet
