The second model up the ladder in the Holden Colorado 2018 range is the LT, which is available as a 4x2 pickup or cab-chassis, or as a dual-cab pickup or cab-chassis.

Pricing for the Colorado LT is as follows: 4x2 dual-cab pickup - $38,990 for the manual ($41,190 auto); if you want the LT 4x4, you have the option of a dual-cab pickup there as well, and it’s priced at $46,990 ($49,190 auto).

It builds upon the LS’s fairly extensive equipment list, adding 17-inch alloy wheels rather than steelies (with a full-size alloy spare under the tray), and you can also tell it apart from the outside by way of its front fog lights and side steps.

Inside, the LT gets carpet flooring rather than the vinyl of the LS, but everything else remains the same.  

As with every model in the Colorado range, the LT is powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with 147kW of power (at 3600rpm) and 440Nm of torque (from 1600-2800rpm) when equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. If you choose the six-speed automatic, the torque is bumped up to 500Nm (from 2000-2200rpm).

Towing capacity is 750 kilograms for un-braked trailers and 3500kg for braked trailers - and that applies to every version of the Colorado, which is impressive: many competitors can’t boast that, particularly about their entry-level utes.
