The Chevrolet Colorado gears up for a new GearOn Special Edition for Chicago w/ video
Chevrolet’s bringing a specially packaged Colorado to the Chicago Auto Show called the GearOn Special Edition, which features a bunch of utilitarian upgrades for the common outdoors-people.
The focus is centered on that patented GearOn accessory system as it allows owners easy configurations for mounting and storing equipment like skis, bikes, kayaks and more…all the sort of things every boot-wearing, knee-high socked, hairy-arm pitted adventurist needs.
The system itself will be offered as an accessory option at an extra cost and can be retrofitted at the dealer for the convenience of the customer. Also offered specially for the Colorado GearOn are 18-inch black alloy wheels, running-boards, an EZ-Lift-and-Lower tailgate, and color-matching trimming for the body’s bits and pieces.
The GearOn accessory package is only available on 2015 Chevrolet Colorado LT extended or crew cab models, with the choice of either a long or short bed, and standard 4WD.
Prices start at $31,250.

The GearOn accessory system is designed for easy configuration with a multitude of mounting accessories for everything from bikes, kayaks, skis and stand-up paddle boards to a bed-mounted tent.
