The 2012 Chevrolet Colorado is available in regular, extended and crew cab models with either a base Work Truck or LT trim choice (Crew Cabs are LT only). There are three engines choices offered (the 2.9L Vortec is standard on all but Crew Cab 4WD vehicles); and the 5.3L engine features variable valve timing. Head curtain side airbags are also standard across the entire model line. The Colorado is a sister vehicle to the GMC Canyon. Both trucks are slated to be discontinued with production ending in June 2012. A newer, smaller version of GM's compact truck (possibly a version of Brazil's Montana), may arrive a couple of years later.
