At Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis, we know savvy truck buyers are always looking for serious performance without breaking the bank—and the midsize segment delivers just that. Trucks like the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado strike the perfect balance between capability and value. With fewer midsize trucks in the market than full-size models, competition is heating up again, and Chevy is charging ahead with best-in-class towing and an unbeatable starting price.
The new Chevy Colorado offers impressive strength for a midsize pickup, with a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped, outperforming many rivals from Toyota, Ford, and Nissan. Its capability comes from a single, refined powertrain: a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering 310 horsepower and a robust 430 lb-ft of torque. It’s a well-balanced setup that’s ready to handle tough jobs and weekend adventures with ease.
Strong Value Meets Serious Capability
The 2025 Colorado lineup is simplified, but the trim levels still offer something for everyone. From the entry-level WT to the trail-ready ZR2, each model brings high-tech features and rugged durability. Even the base model includes an 11.3-inch touchscreen, an 11-inch digital driver display, and smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
Step up to the LT, and you’ll get thoughtful touches like Chevy’s EZ Lift and Lower tailgate with built-in storage. Off-roaders will love the Trail Boss, equipped with 32-inch tires, a factory 2-inch lift, and skid plates. Meanwhile, the Z71 adds a sportier edge with black and red interior accents, while the ZR2 takes the lead in off-road performance with 33-inch mud-terrain tires, a 3-inch lift, and high-performance suspension. The ZR2 is an off-roader’s dream, combining rugged upgrades with impressive towing capability of up to 6,000 lbs. when properly equipped.
How the Competition Stacks Up
When it comes to midsize rivals, most fall short of what the Colorado delivers. The popular Toyota Tacoma tops out at 6,500 lbs. of towing, and many configurations pull much less. The Nissan Frontier puts up a decent fight with a V6 rated at 310 horsepower, but it maxes out at 7,150 lbs. The Honda Ridgeline, built on a unibody platform, can only manage up to 5,000 lbs.
Even the Ford Ranger, fresh off a recent redesign, just misses the mark with a 7,500-lb towing capacity. As for Ram, their entry into the midsize segment is still a few years out, expected to launch in 2027.
Final Word from Jim Butler Chevrolet
Whether you’re hitting the job site, hauling gear to the lake, or just looking for a truck that won’t eat up your entire budget, the 2025 Chevy Colorado continues to be a standout in the midsize world. Its class-leading towing, rugged trims like the Trail Boss and ZR2, and well-equipped interior make it a versatile and dependable choice.

At Jim Butler Chevrolet in St. Louis, we’re proud to welcome a game-changer to the performance world: the 2026 Corvette ZR1X. This is more than just a new model—it’s a bold step into hypercar territory with electrified all-wheel drive and a staggering 1,250 horsepower. With the ZR1 and ZR1X leading the charge, Chevrolet now offers the most powerful lineup of American performance vehicles on the road.
Mind-Blowing Power Meets Next-Gen Tech
The heart of the ZR1X is the all-new LT7 twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8, delivering 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Up front, an electric motor adds another 186 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, creating a seamless AWD system that doesn’t rely on a plug-in—charging instead through regenerative braking.
This dual-power setup rockets the ZR1X from 0 to 60 mph in under 2 seconds, and it clears the quarter mile in under 9 seconds, reaching trap speeds over 150 mph—numbers that put it squarely in hypercar territory. And with its 8-speed dual-clutch transmission recalibrated for quicker shifts and enhanced durability, every launch feels like a jolt of pure adrenaline.
Engineering That Thinks Ahead
The ZR1X was part of the Corvette blueprint from the beginning. Built on the same mid-engine platform that shook the industry, this Corvette leverages a hand-built V8, precision-crafted turbos, and advanced anti-lag tech to keep the boost ready the moment you hit the throttle.
The front-mounted electric motor, based on the Corvette E-Ray’s architecture, has been upgraded with stronger internals to handle the increased load. It provides all-wheel-drive traction up to 160 mph, enhancing both off-the-line acceleration and high-speed control. The battery pack, compact and strategically placed, helps preserve the car’s weight distribution while keeping the center of gravity low—perfect for performance purists and track warriors alike.
A Smarter Hypercar Experience
With intelligent energy strategies and track-ready modes like Endurance, Qualifying, and Push-to-Pass, the ZR1X optimizes power delivery to suit your driving style. The Performance Traction Management Pro (PTM Pro) system, new for 2026, gives you greater control over how the car responds, while still preserving regen braking, corner-exit torque vectoring, and customizable launch control.
Advanced telemetry and over-the-air software updates mean your ZR1X is always evolving, with access to real-time data logging and personalized performance tuning. Whether you’re carving through Missouri backroads or setting lap records on a closed course, the ZR1X adapts to your ambition.
Stopping Power to Match the Speed
To balance all that performance, ZR1X features the most advanced Corvette braking system ever made. The all-new J59 brake package, featuring Alcon 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers paired with 16.5-inch carbon-ceramic rotors, delivers up to 1.9G of deceleration, setting a new benchmark for Corvette stopping power.
Chassis Options for Street or Track
ZR1X buyers can choose between two suspension configurations. The standard setup, with Michelin PS4S tires and Magnetic Ride Control, blends track agility with real-world comfort. For those craving more grip, the ZTK Performance Package adds stiffer springs and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires. Optional Carbon Aero upgrades boost downforce to 1,200 lbs for ultimate control at speed.
Built in America. Built to Thrill.
Like every Corvette, the ZR1X is proudly built in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and each LT7 engine is hand-assembled by expert builders at the Performance Build Center. Available in both coupe and retractable hardtop convertible, the 2026 Corvette ZR1X also debuts a newly refreshed interior with a three-screen cockpit, reimagined console layout, and premium finishes throughout.
Reserve Your Corvette ZR1X at Jim Butler Chevy
