Interior Design
Interior Design
Inside the Chevy Colorado, the Work Truck (WT) offers vinyl upholstery for easy cleanup after off-roading or spills. Moving higher throughout the trim selection will increase seating options with Evotex or perforated leather. Available heated and ventilated front driver and passenger seats will help keep you cool on hot days in Montville, so that you can enjoy the ride a little more.
The Toyota Tacoma offers fabric-trimmed seats to its entry-level models along with 6-way manual adjustable driver and front passenger seats. If drivers are looking for more, they will have to climb a few trim levels higher. They will find SofTex®-trimmed seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and heated/ventilated seats.
The Ford Ranger outfits its entry-level cabin in cloth upholstery. Drivers will have to climb to the third-highest trim level, the Lariat, to unlock heated ActiveX-trimmed front seats with driver memory. The highest trim level, the Raptor, brings heated leather-trimmed front seats with driver memory and a rear outboard leather-trimmed bench seat. Ambient lighting, a heated steering wheel, and a power moonroof are a few more available features for the Ford Ranger.
