Chevrolet truck, and fourth Silverado Pickup, to win the honor.

2013 Colorado Global Pickup

Chevrolet's new global mid-size Colorado Pickup represents a historic and pivotal bid by the company to extend the brand's global product and sales resurgence to its truck business. Developed under the direction of a truck-savvy team from GM do Brasil, the inaugural version of the global Colorado has entered production in Thailand and was officially launched there on 14 November 2011. Representing the world's largest market for mid-size pickups, Thailand allows the new global Chevrolet truck to establish its bona fides in a globally competitive environment.

The new Chevy Colorado will subsequently become available in Brazil and other regions around the globe. The Colorado will be built and sold in the United States as well, with product details and launch timing to be announced later.

The company has announced it will also introduce an all-new mid-size SUV carrying the TrailBlazer name into global markets, starting as a 2013 model. The 2013 TrailBlazer will be based on the new global mid-size truck platform, combining the practical hauling and towing capability of an SUV with the ride, comfort and efficiency of a crossover.
