The Chevy Colorado is a cabin fit for royalty. The Work Truck features vinyl upholstery for easy cleanup after a messy day on the jobsite. You can swap that upholstery for jet-black cloth seats, or climb to the top of the trim ladder and unlock Evotex or perforated leather. The six-way manual driver's seat can help you land in the ideal driving position, while available heated and ventilated front driver and passenger seats take your comfort level a few degrees higher (or lower) in Paterson, NJ.
The Toyota Tacoma features fabric-trimmed seats in its entry-level models along with 6-way manual adjustable driver and front passenger seats. Upgrading to a higher trim level will unlock SofTex®-trimmed seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and heated/ventilated seats. The Toyota Tacoma is a comfortable way to commute if you choose this route.
The Ford Ranger provides cloth bucket seats on its entry-level models. Drivers will have to climb to the third-highest trim level, the Lariat, to unlock heated ActiveX-trimmed front seats with driver memory. The top-of-the-line Raptor offers power, 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 throughout the trim levels.
