Interior Design
Interior Design
There are several features inside the Chevy Colorado and it all boils down to trim levels. The entry-level Work Truck, for example, features vinyl or cloth seats and an array of no-frills features that serve one purpose—get the job done. However, moving higher throughout the trim selection will increase seating options with Evotex or perforated leather upholstery, heated/ventilated front seats, and more.
The Toyota Tacoma welcomes fabric-trimmed seats to its entry-level models and sets the stage with 6-way manual adjustable driver and front passenger seats. However, just like the Chevy Colorado, you can find more features as you climb through the trim levels. Many trims offer SofTex®-trimmed seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and heated/ventilated seats.
The Ford Ranger outfits its entry-level cabin in cloth upholstery. With just four trim levels, there are fewer options and higher price jumps to find the features you want. For example, you'll have to climb to the third-highest trim level, the Lariat, to unlock heated ActiveX-trimmed front seats with driver memory and ambient interior lighting. The Raptor owns heated, leather-trimmed front seats with driver memory and a rear outboard leather-trimmed bench seat.
